one, and suggests whether 1t would
not be wise and decidedly proper
for investors and lenders of money
outside Of Arkansas to ignore entire
ly not only her State and municipal
bonds. but all securities based upon
the pledge of Arkansas property and
franchises. until the people of that
State exhibit greater respect for the
rights of others.
TIE above was received in the
shape of printed slip, enclosed in an
envelope. To us it is revelation.
We were not aware that this State
ever repudiated any of her just obli-
cations, nor are we cognizant of the
fact that the State, or any part OF the
State. where bonds were issued to
railroad Companies, conditionally,
are trying to obtain rulings from our
Supreme Court as above decided.
From our limited knowledge of the
facts in the case, we are rather inclin-
ed to regard this as sort of boom
erang intended to extort money from
the people of Arkansas for railroads
that exist only in Imagination. Try
something else to injure the rePuta-
ton of Arkansas.

hibit in Russelville. A radical
change is discernable to even the
most casual observer. And instead
of business being ruined, and the
"dry rot" taking possession of our
town, our prospects commercially,
socially, morally and religiously were
never brighter. In fact Russelville,
with her public school, her cotton
factory, mills and shops, and reli-
able and profitable trade for miles
around, Is on the biggest kind of a
BOOM Rnssellville Democrat.
The Harrison Times has the fol-
lowing:
1--WE see it ntimated in some of
our exchanges. that efforts will be
made to drag the temperance ques-
ton into State politics. As one, we
earnestly hope not. We want to
see the old parties nominate tickets
that is good in every respect as they
should do,--sober, honest, capable
men,-and if they do so temperance
men can remain firm to their old
party ties. We feel confident that
our next officers will be sober men,
for public sentiment has shown CON
clusively that drunkenness will, in
the future, be looked on as disqual-
i6cation for any trust, be it high or
low, and that being the case, all par
ties should act on that principle in
their next conventions"
That's about the idea that should
animate all; stick to your party, and
stand square toed and vote for none
but sober, honest and capable men
for Office.

Men are disposed to censure each
other and pronounce harsh judg-
ments. 1t is a tendency of human
nature to suspect evil and to jump
at conclusions. Influenced by this
disposition the world is given to much
bitter speech; character is picked to
pieces, motives analyzed and shown
20 be base, conduct misrepresented
and |''nounced as the spirit OF an
uneind criticism pervades the social
circle. Men fall into the ways oi
oensoriousness; they get into the
habit of thinking and speaking i'll
OF their associates, SC that they are
always hunting for the unworthy
motive and are quite ready to pro-
nounce severest Judgment against
their fellows. We have heard it
said of an individual holding high
rank in one of the professions that
he was never known to speak good
of any body without qualification.
If he uttered a favorable word re-
spccting some element Of character,
or some act performed, such praise
was always offset by presenting a
defect which was dwelt upon with
evidently far greater satisfaction. 1t
is easy to criticise and blame when
the object Of such narrowing is not
present to defend himself. But it is
a most unworthy spirit that prompts
to such consciousness, spirit that
is developed from the lower and not
from the superior part of human ma
ture. The world would be a great
deal brighter and happier, if it were
not for these pur-blind critics who go
about mis-representing and Judging
their fellows, class who always
place the worst possible construction
upon human actions and are keen of
scent to discover something blame
worthy in what appears outwardly
so fair. This class occasion great
deal of pain by their want of charity,
and their words of distilled venom
that they throw about so freely. OF
such it may be truly said, ladders
poison is under their lips"

A NEW SCHEME
TO swINnLE CREDITORS IN ARKANSAS,
THAT WILL RANK WITH NuE
sHARPEsT DoDGEsI IN WALL

sHARPEST DoDGEs IN WALL
STREET.
We are advised that further repu-
diation is contemplated in the State
of Arkansas. Being in want of rail-
road facilities, many of the counties
and cities of that State, under stat
ute passed in 1913, issued their
bonds to aid railroad companies, and,
as a general thing, secured the adj
vantages they expected. Although
the State repudiated the most of her
obligations, these municipal railroad
aid bonds have been looked upon as
secure. Now, however, we are in
formed that concerted movement
for their defeat is in progress, the
principal debtor communities having
entered into contracts with that view.
The scheme is to get from the Su-
preme Court of the State, on tech
nical point, a decision that the law
under which the bonds were issued,
was not passed in the manner pre-
scribed by the constitution of the
State at the time, as claim is made
that the constitution provides that all
acts authorizing the raising of money
shall he voted on by ballot, and it is
coutcnded that this has not been
strictly followed, the measures hav-
Ing been passed in the usual manner,
by r,va vofe vote, although there is
nothing in the recorded proceedings
90 show that the rules were not strict
lv observed. 1t is claimed, there
fore, that the bonds are void, on the
supposition that the Supreme Court
of the United States. according to
its general rule to follow the rulings
of the highest Courts of States in
constr uing their constitutions, will
acuuiesce, and tho bond-holders
therefore be left remediless. in that
way it is cunningly planned to rob
the boad-hoiders of their money, and
at the same time deprive them. being
nearly all non-residents of the State,
of redress from the Federal Courts.
The ease is a particularly scandalous

Saturday, at small hamlet in

Tyronza, Mr.. Frank Treadwell had
a personal difficulty with Mr.. VIM.

fired at Ayres. The shot did not take
effect. Afterwards Ayres drew a
pistol and shot Treadwell, the ball
taking effect in the left breast, pene-
trated the heart, and Treadwell fell
to the ground and expired without
uttcring a word. Ayrc5 was taken
into custody and brought to trial.

pearcd discharged him on the ground
that he was jusi6able in the killing.
