WILL Vischer, Of the Fairhayen

eral Sherman, among other thing,
says:
aside from the ambitions Of a sol.
dier during a war, General Sherman
was not ambitious. Once not many
months ago. when asked why he had
never allowed his friends TO push him
for the Presidency, he answered vehe

Old Time Moral Laws.

This was a period when the so-called
"blue laws" were most vigorously en-.
forced, not only in Connecticut, with
which tradition associates them, but
in Massachusetts,. In the former col.
ony no food or lodging could be given
to a Quaker, Adamite or other hereto.
No one could run ON the Sabbath day
or walk in his garden or elsewhere, ex-
cept reverently 70 and from meeting.
No one could travel, cook victuais,
make beds, sweep house, cut hair or
shave on the Sabbath day. No woman
could kiss her child on Sabbath or fast
ing day. Whoever brought cards into
the colony paid fine Of E5.
No one could read the Book OF Com.
mon Prayer. keep Christmas or saints
days, make minced pies, dance, play
cards or play on any instrument OF
music except the trumpet. drum or
jewsharp. Liquor drinking was regulat.
ed, and the use OF tobacco was tinkered
necessarily. No one under twenty-ons
years, nor any one not previously ac-
customed to it, could take tobacco
without physicians certificate. Ne
one could take it publicly in the street
or in the fields or woods, except on
journey OF ten miles. Nor could any
one take it in any house in his own
town with more than one other person
taking it at the same time. This last
injunction was leveled at the so-called
"tobacco parliaments." About lG45
the Massachusetts magistrates were
greatly troubled that the people would
tell lies.-Weeden's First One Hun

A WASHINGTON dispatch OF the l4th

out foundation. As yet the members

the entire confidence Of the depaar-
ment, that he is fully qualified for the
position both in ability and in

A Modern Moses.


Baron Hirsch has cabled to Jesse
Seligman, of New FORK, as represent
ing the trustees of the Hirsch fund for
the benefit of Hebrew immigration to
this country, that the trustees may
draw on him for 100000 francs to
use in carrying out the work under
taken. If the income is not sufficient
to do all it is intended for, the trustees
are authorized to use part of the prin-
cipal and Baron Hirsch will make
good the amount. For nearly q year
Baron Hirsch has furnished $4,000 a
month for the work among the poor
Hebrews in the United States. There
is another Moses for you, helping the
children Of Israel, not to move out of
Egypt, but out of Russia, u country
more oppressive to them, than Egypt
was under the slave system. But why
do those exiled Jews not return to
Palestine and their own country,
promised to them by God himself as
an everlasting inheritance to the de-
cendants of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob? is the question sometimes
asked. You might just as we'll ask
the German in our country, why he
does not return to the good old Faith
erland, or the Irishman to his Emer-
aid home, or the Frenchman to his
sunny France. Every man, in pur-
suit OF life and happiness, seeks it in
those countries, where it is the easiest
to be found. Jew and Gentle, under
most civilized laws, Chinese excepted,
can go where he pleases and the pro-
tecting arm of each respective govern
ment will shield the stranger and the
native born, alike. If the Russian
Jews prefer to come to America, we
can't blame him. He has a right to
come, Palestine is no place for him
any more, for what was once vast
garden spot, is to-day a dreary desert.
SEATTLE Telegraph: Election results
are very curious. In the legislature
of this State 81 Republicans represent
29,l53 Republican voters, while 22,S31
Democratic voters have only 81 repre-
sentatives. The comparatively narrow
margin of popular majority becomes
an overwhelming preponderance under
the system of representation. But
this is not nearly SO remarkable as the
result of the villianous system which
prevails in most of the New England
States. In Connecticut, by way of il.
lustration, 14l members of the legisla.
ture represent 1914 Republican vo'
ters, while 195,S40 Democratic and
other voters have only 134 represents
tives. Such q system is a travesty on
popular government.

JUST TWENTY YEARS AGO.

With the present number the 20th volume of this paper draws to close. Twenty years is a long time. and lots of; changes have been crowded into the months that have passed away like Il dream. Many times has the curtain been rung down upon the stage of life, and many tunes hus it risen since THE FoRREar CITY TIMES first saw the light of day. Little boys have become men aEd little girls have blussomed iu- to womaishood since its first number fell frcm tho press.

During the years that we have claimed Forrest City as our residence we have met with stlbstan- tial encouragement in our business and courteous treatment upon every hard, and We have always endravorei 10 re- turn one kindness for another. If we have been rcmiss in this particular it WAS not intentional. We came among this pcople with the intention of mak- ing our homo in their mids.-w:eh the intention of milking their interests our interests, and working to the advant- aga Of both ourselves and the people with whom VIC chose to cast our lot. At the opening Of our naw birthday our twenty sec nothing but plain sailing. We are working for the psouie, and we believe they are work ing tor US. Upon the encouragement we receive depends the future pros perity and usefulness of the peoples favorite paper-TKE FORREST CITY TINES. If the future patronage of the paper should at any time indicate such desire upon the part of the public, we shall be only too glad to enlarge our facilities and give the people of St. Francis county weekly journal of the doings of the town and neighbor- hood of which they may well feel proud, and which shall cross as well come and an honored visitor the threshold of every homestead in our broad and fertile county, and be ban ner Of intelligence to our hundreds of readers in every State-Eass, West, North and South.
