THE BOARD OF TRADE.
A Quorum not Being Present, the
Meeting was Turned Into a
Conversation Party.

Last night was to have been an
important meeting Of the Board of
Trade. The TExARKANIAN hired
hand wended his way up the steps
at about $50 o'clock and found the
following gentlemen present ready
to transact business, provided a
quorum could be COTTON together;
DR.. ]. Deutchman, Dr. W. A. Rob
inson, Ben Foreman, ]. W. Harris,
Fred Offenhauser, G. A. Hays,
and Judge L. A. Byrne, The latter
gentleman was there to lay an
advertising project he had, before
the Board in which the Little Rock
Gazette was to be the beneficiary
and the Board of Trade was to
assume the roll of benefactor to
the amount of $500. The Judge
stated that he and several others
had invited the Gazette to send a
man to this place to give our city a
write up, and the scribe was here
ready to 60 to work, that he and
his friends would contribute the
balance if the Board of Trade
would help them out, There being
no quorum present, the secretary
did not record this in his book of
minutes.
The place for holding future
meetings aud permanent quarters
was brought up and it was thought
best to rent the upstairs over the
old Pacific Express Office, the
brick building that occupies the
wedge shaped strip of realty, at the
intersection of Pine, Broad and
State Line Avenue, DR., Deutch-
man said he could get this Office for
$500 per month and buy the car
pets and other fixtures, now on the
floor and in place, at a large dis
count. DR.. Robinson said go and
close the trade. Mr. Onenhauser
rose to a point Of order and said
you can't do it, don't you see we
have no quorum, At this point the
lamp chimney broke and DR. Robin
son having the floor, it was voted
he cross the street to his drug
store and buy a couple of new ones,
The motion was passed and the
"Docn went after the chimney.
After the lamp was put to rights,
Sam Ragland dropped in, and soon
after him, W, r. Wootten. This
still did not make a quorum and the
meeting kept up its discussions on
business as though there was forty
quorums present 1t was decided
that the executive committe be
called together this morning and
transact the business now on hand
and that another meeting Of the
Board be called for tonight At
this point a March wind blew a few
brickbats from the chimney on to
the tin roof and the rattle it made
had the effect to adjourn the meet
ing We can say that the Board
has a membership Of G6 with 30 OF
them paid up and that the names
of the other 81 are good and will
pay their membership fee, $500, as
soon as called on. Also that in less
than month the Board will be
meeting in their new quarters and
give the town such a boom as 1t
never had before. Let every busi'
ness man in the city come forward
and enroll in this order and help
push the car of progress to the
heights our city should attain.

may fall back, without so much question
ing, upon her old method of settling
disputes, viz: That might makes right.
1t Is said that in his reply, Lord Salisbury
has endeavored to delay and muddle the
issue by assuming that England now has
evidence to demonstrate clearly that there
is no question as to her ownership of all the
territory east of the Schaumburghk line.
1t may appear to some trifle peculiar
that now, for the first time since the line
was run in 1910, England has made out
new case which Is said to leave no doubt
as to her claim. We hope she will send
along her Lew evidence together with her
reply, just to satisfy the curiosity of
Uncle Sam, and of the rest of the world,
besides saving time. This country is in
earnest about this matter. 1t notes that
the English premier consumed several
months in getting his reply ready and
if his new evidence is so plain and con-
elusive, assuredly he must now be able to
make 1t known without further delay.

An olu English proverb intlmates that
it is the right ear which tingles when
words of disparagement are spoken against
you, though it seems to add that at night
time burning in either ear indicates
praise:
Left for love and right for spite.
Left or right good at night.
But an exchange remarks that this prov.
verb does not represent the universal idea,
for 1t is sometimes thought that ting.
ling in either ear is at all times an indica.
tion that you are being made the subject OF
unpleasant remarks. Thus the anony-
nous "Castell of Courtesie, published in
1882, has the lines:
That do credit give unto the saying old
Which is, whereas the ears do burn something
on thee is told.
In England even to this day the sufferer
Is told TO pinch the car as soon as he feels
1t burn, whereupon the offender will bite
his tongue. In Wiltshire the folk cross
the ear with the foreflnger and recite this
quatrain:
you're speaking well Of me
wish you would go on,
But If you re speaking i'll of me
wish you'll bite your tongue,
which, of course, implies that neither ear
carries any certain indication of whether
praise or dispraise be uttered.

Turkey vs. Civilization.

The fatal defect In the civilization of
Turkey, is the fatal defect of all Moslem
civlizations-the subjugation of the
home. When the Moslem power held
| sway in Spain it presented civilization
that, in many respects, challenged the
the arts and sciences was marvellous; its
architecture beautiful, it's devotion to the
best interests of learning commendable
Under its rule magnificent libraries were
maintained, and great universities estab-
lisbed, In which the most learned in
strCctors of the age were employed at
| fxel salaries and which were open to
students from all countries. In this re-
spect the Moslem asoendency in Spain
pository of ancient learning. The chan
mel through which much of the best
thought Of the older civilizations survived
the iconclasm of the Middle Ages, and
vera preserved to modern times. The
decadsnce Of this people emphasized the
fact that Christianity, not Islam, was the
power destined to rule the world. The
buttress of our Christian civilization is,
and has always been, the Christian home.
uplifting influence, and in which adhere
| the conservative forces that defy the
march of time, and endure through the
ages.
| The power OF Islam that, at one time,
| thrt atened to encompass all Europe was
forever turned backward when Charles
Martel, the famous French leader, de-
feated the followers of the Prophet on the
bloody field of Tours-the Marathon of
continental history. 1t fingered for a
time in Spain, and attained there Its
highest glory but without the fortifying
strength of the Christian home it could
not endure. Polygamy was sanctioned, both
Of its religion and its law, and divorce
was facile and general. Its religion was
the religion of lust and greed. Its de-
cadence was as inevitable as 1t was
rapid. Today Turkey is the only power
of any importance upon the face of the
earth where 1t holds sway. Elsewhere,
however numerous its voteries may be,
the reins of government are in the hands
of Christian nations. All the evils that
have been characteristic of the Moham-
medan religion from its inception, appear
here in an accentuated form. The weak
nesses Of the faith have operated as an
accumulative poison upon the life of its
followers. The cup Of its degeneracy has
been drained, and We have its dregs in
Turkey. Blind fanaticism, treachery,
lust and cruelty. are the characteristics OF
that country. None of the higher id eals
of our modern ::civilization. 1t is blot
upon the surface of the globe, and the
imperative duty now rests upon the
Christian nations OF Europe Of effectually
and finally erasiDg it. People who can
not stand Christian civilization Just make
way for it.
The life of the Sultan himself furnishes
the most emphatic proof of the utter
rott. nness Of the Turkish empire. Wher-
ever the forms of civilized usage are
observed, the spirit of them is lacking

Admiral Belknaps opinion, expressed
so freely in his recently published letter.
In which he argues for American vessels
and forts to protect American shipping on
the great lakes, is chiefly significant as
Indicating the increasing sentiment OF
Americansm abroad in the land today.
Belknap's views may be prejudiced by
his profession. 1t is to be expected of
naval and military men, that they will
sec need OF great interest and liberal ex-
penditures In the army and the navy.
But this does not account for the vigor,
the fire, shown In the letter attributed to
Admiral Belknap. He voices restlessness
spreading throughout the country. What
ever be It's cause one cannot avoid MOTTO
pulse of human kind stirs at regular in
tervals; 1t more likley means that there
isa wider appreciation of the fact that
while we have been engrossed In our own
affairs, England has been scheming to
surround us, to obtain possession OF all
outlying coaling stations, to circumvent
us with smooth tongue, resorting to diplo-
matic deviltry and our own Indifference
to yield to her what she dare not demand.
Rightly or wrongly feeling was aroused
In this country when England levied
blackmail on Nicaragua and hoisted the
Union Jack over Corinto, to float until the
demand was paid. These words from
Admiral Belknap's letter are worth
repeating, for the ideas herein contained,
while many will denounce them as jingo-
ism, are not confined to officers of the
army and the navy. with well digested
policy, indomitable push and sleepless
foresight, ever looking towards future
contingencies and the expansion of the
empire, British statesmen, when they do
not play the part Of bully after the
methods Of Lord Palmerston, make their
designs under the cover of velvet handed
diplomacy as seductive as 1t is dangerous.
Too often In truth, 1t lulls other powers,
and especially the too trustful United
States into blind and sometimes fatal
sense of security" The good sense of the
American people advises peace at the
expense of every honorable effort, and
sets far ahead the line where forbearance
ceases to be virtue But the hearts of
the people are In accord on this question
and not altogether under control of the
head. There is a knowledge at least a
common belief, that England is trying to
outgeneral us in some important partic-
ulnrs there is All intuition, II you will.
that some of those foreign nations capable
Of appreciating only appeals that are
backed by force, stand In need of n lesson.
There Is resentment at the GOODNESS with
which France refused our reasonable
request In the Waller affair. There are
other events, affairs In Cuba and Hawaii
for instance, calculated to impress OBJ
observant Americans with the idea that
our weak kneed foreign policy of the past
two years has brought us into more or
less contempt abroad Now this chatting
may not convince the head that the
United States should Immediately lick
all creation. Uncle Sam isn't in the mood
to turn the left cheek if the right one is
slapped.
