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
