AN IMPORTANT WORD TO SUBSCRIBERS. £
A
The postal regulations require that for newspapers to
be sent through the mails subscriptions must be paid in Ijl
II advance. A reasonable time, thirty days, is allowed for X[
renewals. At the expiration of this period, where sub- £
scriptions are not renewed, the paper must be stopped. !j!
If this is not done, postal privileges are denied the publi- X
X cation. Those, therefore, who desire to continue receiving £
The Monitor must see to it that their subscriptions are Ijl
II paid, as the law requires, in advance. Statements are be- X
I! ing sent to all those who owe, or our collector will call— X
and unless your subscription is paid we will be compelled
to cut off your paper which, of course, we do not want X
II to do. X
<; We, as publishers, MUST comply with the law or ^
pay the penalty. *

FULFILLING PROMISES
Upon the reccommendation
of tne Citizens' committee, ap
pointed at the mass meeting,
to look alter political and
other appointments for our
people, Joseph S. Hummel,
para commissioner, has ap
pointed Mrs. btrawtner to
Charge of one of the public
pane kitchens, and jonn
Vv aiteneid as playground di
rector at tne playground at
'twenty-second and Seward
streets; and Josepn Houisay,
commissioner ot public im
provements, has appointed
Ueiaid ndwards, rodman with
a surveying crew; and other
appointments are pending.
it will be recalled tnat The
Monitor stated some weeks ago
that the committee had inter
viewed an tne commissioners
and had received very definite
promises ot increased repre
sentation from them for our
people in recognition 01 our
support in the recent election.
It is gratifying to be able to re
port tnat tnese promises are
being fulfilled.
PASS WRONG LAW
Florida, whose house of rep
resentatives has just passed an
anti-evolution bill, forbidding
the teaching of evolution or
kindred theories, would have
shown more intelligence by
passing an anti-lynching law.
A NEW COUNTY
HOSPITAL
—
A movement is on foot to
secure a new, modern and up
to-date county hospital. Flans
have been prepared providing
for the units now badly needed
and making provision for ad
ditions as money permits. If
the plan proposed is carried
out, and there is no question,
but that it should be, Dmicriasi
county, within the next fifteen
or twenty years will have as
fine a hospital for the care of
the indigent sick as may be
found anywhere. There can
be no debate as to the need of
such a hospital.
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Young people crave pleas
ure and enjoyment. It is a
i perfectly legitimate desire in
keeping with our social in
I stincts. They are going to
i have their pleasure and recre
ation. Instead of older folk
I woefully and dolefully shaking
their heads and predicting
; that our young people are
waxing worse and worse,
which is not true, why not en
ter into their pleasures and see
to it that they have supervised
recreation? Our young people
are fundamentally sound and
good at heart.
