ARKANSAS AND THE GLOBE-DEMO
 GRAF.

cussing the Forrest City incident, says:
 We know hadcs is too good place for the men who operate the Giobe-Dcmocrat, but it Is not for us to use violence toward them. No, not by any means.
 The Globe-D Democrat got exactly what it wanted. Ii has been as sertlng all the time that spirit of intolerance and violence existed to q great extent in certain places Tn Ar Kansas and Mr George r Taylor was foolish enough to afford con frmation of the charge. That illus trious public tunctioHary, the Fool Killer. has still some work to do in Arkansas Arkansas Democrat.
 Oh. yes, ltis best for the Globe Democrat correspondents to de nounce. detame and blacken the good name of the democracy of Ar Kansas, and therefore all wrong for an outraged people to utter a wordln protest of such system ot scoundrel- ism-The dcnunciatlon ot the Globe Democrat will doubtless have q great moral force or effect, as was So boasungly proclaimed with re- gard to certain Federal court rul- ings or decisions.
 Yes. let the Globe-Democrat lay on the lash, on pended willing Rogers New Era.
 How long IS the Democratic pop ulation of Arkansas to be abused and slandercd by the Globe Demo crat2 Just So long as we pay any attention to its lying articles. The managers of that paper are shrewd Republican politicians and will stop at nothing to further the inter- csts of the'r party. The whole coun- try knows Arkansas is strong Democratic State and those men know that every line published by them refecting on the moral ehaE- acter and standing of the people ot the State will work against lhe Democratic party. There are many people in the United States, and among them some who wall give credonce to these false stories published by the G,-D. and it natu- rally injures the Democratic party not Tn this State, for everyone here knows then to De lies Of the worst character, but in the North and East where the people are not informed as tO the true status Of affairs here. As far as the mate rial prosperity of the State IS con cerned, we believe the G.-D. has TO interest. It would be inmaterial to It whether we advance retrogate. Take these things into considera- tlon and it takes no person with extraordinary perception to see what its motive is; Not to injure thls State but to solidlfy the Re publican party in the North and East where great many people would vote the Democratic ticket, were 1t not for these stores that we lntmidate steal. and even murder here in the South to carry elections. The Globe-Democrat knows that the people of Arkansas have been worked up almost to a frenzy hy its cruel and unjust mis- representations, and considering this, it's but natural that they should send their most insolent and oyer bearing reporters here with the an licipation hat something similar to the Forest City incident would hap pen. The question then is, how are we to treat these reporters? Shall we meet them q Ia Sullivan and pound inc stutling out of them? No, certainly not. That would be playing into thehands of our enemies and furnishing them with ammuni- ton a. it were with'which to hght us, Let Us treat them either as guests or with silent contempt and not buy their paper. Let us act as lecomes mer and Democrats and show our sympathizors in the the North and East that we are in every way wor- thy to cooperate with them in up holding the one grand principle of Democracy.
