DOES THIS MEAN YOU Newspaper work is like any other kiwi of business. It can not run without money and to get money it must have sub scribers, hence, this is an invi tation to you to subscribe unless you have already done so. There are a considerable num ber of persons in and around Monmouth who do not take the Hkrald, and although we pre sume that they would not like to see the town without a news paper, yet they are willing to let others bear the burden of ils maintenance while they receive a share of the collective benefit. Again there are others who use its columns to a limited extent when they wish a little publicity, anxious that they have a hear ing, but deuf to the thought that others may wish to reach them. Then there is the fellow who -would rather spend 25 cents now and then to advertise something that he wishes to sell than to give a subscription, seemingly forgetful of the fact that if there are many persons of his partic ular mould that there would be no person, or at least but few to read his ad. Some may excuse themselves by saying that the paper does not amount to much, but -what have you done to help it? Do you suppose that the editor, can make the paper what he would like to have it be if he is not properly supported in his labor? One man cannot build what it takes a community of interests to accomplish. If you want a prosperous town you must work together, and not work for some outside place and if you wish to have a good home paper support it and don't try to build up some other at the expense of the one whose interests are linked with yours. We are and have been send ing out statements to those of our patrons who are in arrears and will esteem it a great favor if an early response is forth coming, but if there are any who do not want to continue taking the Herald we wish them to say so as we desire to know where we are at. Young Man With a Call There is a section of Mississip pi in which there are seven negroes to one white. It is a section that for backwardness, for cruel superstition and ex cesses which get no mention in public prints has nothing like it in the United States. A young negro whose chief capital was enthusiasm for ser vice went into that country a few years ago. He opened a school under a tree, his pupils numbering 15. In a few months he had a school of74. He found the funds to build a school house and to buy 100 acres of land around it. That school has now more applications than it can care for. It teaches teachers, who go out as that first young man did, and carry the light of knowledge into the places that have.boen cave-like in ignorenco. Fourteen trades are taught. The manufactures of the pupils find a ready market. Out of that school which met beneath a tree ias grown an institution that will be one of the things which will save the south from its worst foe the ignorance that keeps men upon a plane with the beasts of the field. That a man should dare so much ami uo so much in me spirit of service is a beautiful thing. Hut it is not more en couraging and inspiring thau that he found a people eager to accept the gifts he brought them. Toledo Wade. The Game of Justice NEWS FROM COUNTY SEAT Court House Notes. It is rather remarkable that two Judges of the Superior Bench in one city should find occasion in public addresses to say that justice, as they view its administration in the light of experience, is a game. The" mere statement is not received with surprise by the average person, for the truth it expresses has long been a matter of conviction in the public mind. But that two eminent lawyers holding ju dicial positions in a single city should feel impelled to dwell up on the truth is so significant as to create amazement. The two jurists in question were Judge Peter Dunne and Judge Crothers of San Francisco. This judicial and, as we might say, professional candor is of slow avail unless the organized conscience of the bar be touched to bring about reform. Just to say that the trial of a case in which the property, the freedom of the citizen or maybe his life is involved is a game does not deter the able attorney who ap pears in court as representing either side in the case from do ing his level, best to secure a verdict. In every trial the stage is set for playing the game; and whatever we may say about at torneys being officers of the court and all that, everyone un derstands that the real issue is the respective abilities of the op posing lawyers. It is to be con ceded that there are modifica tions of this condition, but they do not affect the unpleasant truth of the matter. It is quite natural that one should ask if there is no pros pect of change which will re move this reproach from the ad ministration of justice. And the answer to that question must be that the increasing frequency o comment touching this defect in the conduct of the courts is bound in course of time to bear good fruit. We hear such com ment on every hand. It is com mon at almost every bar session county, state or National. It is uttered by jurists of high degree and by eminent lawyers every where. But strange to say all this comment and discussion have not evolved even "the sug gestion of a remedy that seems practicable. There is evidence of an aroused conscience, how ever, and optimism hopes for better things. Portland " Tele gram. Hair Switches made from combings. Enquire at this office.
