The County Fair.

MR. EDITOR: The Pope County Fair has come and gone, and q number of correspondents have had their say about it, and I feel little like having mine, if permitted, bu, can't do it in that lucid style, tha, NJ. L. Davis, the "promising young man" did; and he didn't see half oi 1t, for several articles of prominence was in plain view ot him and un- noticed
 I have taken in fairs, both county and State away the other side oi Arkansas, and must say, that I was perfectly astonished, at the wonder full display made at the Pope County Fair, to be gotten up in so short a time and in such way, without money, or inclosure. It shows a determination of the citizens ot Pope, to not be outstripped in any thing that goes to make up pros porous community.
 Now sir, let the fine display made at Russellville on the 2d and 3d be followed up by the organization of a joint stock company for the express purpose of carrying on a regular annual County Fair. But some one says how can we begin? will it pay anything? Let two or three leading citizens get together, appoint day, have mass meeting, open books for subscribed stock, organize, and the thing is done. Yes, and it will pay; big at that.
 Who will set the ball in motion.
 Yours, UNCLE JESSE.

THE ARKANSAS GAZETTE.

The first number of volume fifty nine of the Arkansas Daily Gazette came to us enlarged to 9 column paper. Through the enterprise of the proprietors we were also furnish ed with fac-simile of the first mum Der of that paper ever published. It hears date of Nov. 20th, 1919, and is dated at Arkansas Post, Arkansas Territory. On its first page is For eig1 News, dated July 3, 1919, and Washington News dated Aug. "A, 1919. There is but one merchants advertisement in the paper. The appearance of the paper is neat and shows that it's proprietor wass master of his trade. The paper had only 4 columns to the page, and i pages.
 We congratulate the present pro prietors upon the vast improvement and success of the paper, and wish that they may celebrate many sue ceeding anniversaries, all of which shall mark progress and improve ment in the paper.

Latest advices from the seat of war in the East convey the intelli- gence that the fortress and city ol Kars has at last had to succImb to the inevitable. The fortress was stormed by the determined Russian attacking forces on last Saturday night, and on Sunday morning the equalization took place. The Turk ish loss is 5000 killed and 10000 prisoners. The Russians suffered loss of 2,700 killed.

 The Eleven Millions of fraudulent debt have over one half been already settled by the Supreme Court and the balance is likely to go the same road.

INTEREST.


 mon taxpayers of Arkansas under stand the grinding, crushing. .kenslav ing power of interest? Do they know how it counts up? Who, o our readers, has been head over cars in debt? Who has ever had his pa per out for considerable sum o money? Whoever has, will under stand something about interest; fol he will remember how he toiled and sweated and paved, and paved and sweated and toiled, and sweated and paved and toiled for years to keep the interest paid. And he will re- member that perhaps by the time he had taken in his paper he had paid cut twice the amount of the original debt. This man will unders .and something of the eating, consuming nature of Interest.
 It is the consuming power of in terest alone that has kept many 2 man poor all his days. It is the de pleting power of interest which has required the United States govern ment to raise such immense reven ues, and which has made her so slow in getting her debt paid.
 It is interest that makes the Shy. locks of the country rich, and keeps the masses poor.
 These thoughts naturally occur te us as we see the untiring, desperate efforts being made by the advocates of the Adams Redfield plan to fasten thatH iniquitous scheme so slyly de ,is d and so deceptive Tn it's outlines upon the taxpayers of Arkansas.
 Interest! Interest! Interest is what they are after. We say the ln- terest feature of that proposition alone ought to condemn it at first sight with all men who have the true interests of Arkansas at heart.
 We have been unable for years, as high as our taxes have been to meet the interest on our indebtedness, and yet these Shylocks propose to in- crease our interest bearing debt over million dollars.
 This million dollars will almost double itself twice by the time the thirty years are out. Here lies the gist of the whole scheme. They see their bonds are depreciated, and on ly worth about twenty five cents on the dollar. They therefore seek to get them refunded, and a proviso in- serted which will enable them to col lect the interest semmi annually, ev- en if it takes the shirts from off the backs of our toiling people, and then by the end of thirty years they will have collected interest enough to amount to almost the present face of their bonds. They can then with unbounded generosity and disinter- ested patriotism make another offer to scale their debt; and thus it will go, we will work for the next centu- " to pay interest and still be in debt, the principal all the time growing by this internal refunding process which always adds unpaid interest to principal.
 The true debt of Arkansas has been almost doubled twice already in less than forty years by this re- funding process, and now we are asked to refund again and add an other Million dollars to our interest bearing debt. The people cannot stand it, and no matter how many Big Men may advocate the plan, the common masses of the State who have to support the whole thing had better put their seal of condemna- ton upon it at once.
 This interest feature of the Ad- ans Redfeld plan will we hope,

the United States that they repress and dis
spate the waves of popular feeling-whlch,
indeed, they somewhat tend n underrate.
And both the nations appear to have got
the habit of rejecting, to certain extent,
the tendency of their institutions. There
is no doubt that the uppermost phase of
British feeling often assumes too imposing
an air to spectators who are not in any way
behind the scenes, and that what the nation
really thinks and wishes, 1t appears to think
and wish with even more intensity and
unanimily than 1t really does. The oppo-
site thing happens In the United States.
The very fact that strong popular feeling
is gaining marked ascendency there seems
to call out all the restraing and selt-repress-
ing power which the nation contains. II we
remember how long public feeling in the
North was in breaking down the constltu-
tionsl respect for the fugitive slave law,
how long it was, again, even after the war
for the maintenance of the union had broken
out, before the enthusiasm for turning 1t
into an anti-slavery war could gain any In
fluence over the polite masses and states
men Of the federation, we shall understand
at once how great are the forces, both con-
stitutional and moral, which seem TO hold
back the American people from anything
like rash surrender to the tides Of political
enthusiasm. And so it has always happened
that at critical moment the people. of the
United States have shown not merely true
self-command, but perhaps even too much
self-command, certainly more self-com-
mand than they did in the earlier stages Of
exciting questions. And it is the same now
that this very difficult and dangerous ques-
ton as to the presidential election has
arisen-only in this case, as no greater and
nobler principle 10 sacrificed for the sake
moderation, we can afford to give fuller
need of sympathy and even admiration to
the sobriety of the American people than II

Perkins, San Francisco broker, in
whose adventures The Call takes great de-
light, bought two of Professor Bells tele-
phones and made connections between his
office and his parlor. He thought it would
be pleasant thing to converse with his
wife when business was slack to inform her
when he would go to dinner, and to learn
how often his youngest. son fell down the
cellar stairs during the day. One morning
he was conversing by wire with his wife
about q new bonnet when a broker came in
TO ask about some stocks. He "telephoned"
TO his wife that he was busy, and without
severing connection with the instrumental
turned to the broker and opened negotia-
tons for the purchase of Julia. Lady By
ron, and other stocks. Mrs. Perkins at the
other end of the line listened intently, and
finally caught her husbands words, en-
take Julia at $780," Her suspicious were
aroused; there was a woman in the case |;
she burst into an animated soliloquy, which
the faithful telephone carried to the ears of
her husband and his customer, "Ill Julia
-villaln-married Is years
where's my rubbers just wait till get hold
of him." These words, together with mis-
cellaneous tokens of confusion and racket,
denoted active preparations for sortie up
on his Office. Perkins broke off the stock
negotiations and went home to appease his
wife. The instruments were subsequently
removed.
