D O E S DEMOCRACY
RULE IN ARKANSAS.

We have heard much
said SINCE the converting of
the legislature in January
about Democracy, that is.
the people rule, but we are
persuaded that such utter
ances by a great number of
the present members of the
legislature come no more of the
heart than did the prayers of
the hypocritical pharisees in
the days of Christ. With
The masses Of the people
Democracy is a sublime
term, and they have been
satisfied with it's vehe-
ment utterances by the poll
ticians, tut row they are be-
ginning to learn that these
are hypocritical utterauces,
and that these same poll
ticians who have been so
lavish in declaring themselves
in favor Of all measures
wheu the "dear people" favor
them, are from traitors lips,
Instead of giving people
bread they give them stones.

him from time to time as

for a hasty word Of good
cheer and courage. But,
when | offered my congratu-
latlons upon the loss Of the

that the action of his old

AS the political campaign

face of the man, whom | had
come to esteem as a friend,
bee anne drawn. After Gay
and night work for weeks
there came gradually a look
of WEAKNESS, and the eye

geous,

paid, but experience tells us
that such hopes are vain.
At the present prices and
the improvident Management
Of a large number Of the
debtor class the old debts
can never be paid, and the
creditor will get as much
under an insolvent act as he
can ever hope to get by car,
rying his debtors from year
to year.
II our people could once
get out of debt their eX-
perience would force them
to again refrain from incur
ring obligations in the fu-
ture which carnot be met
and the result would be a
great change in our country
for the better. Those who
are now in debt could again
be free and have as it were
a new lease of life. They
would have more energy
and an era of prosperity
would dawn upon us.
There are some
objections to the act. The
debtor still has the right
under it to his exemption.
That right is guaranteed
BY the constitution. But is
it not better after all these
objections for the creditor
than the present unsatis-
factory condition? 1t is only
a matter Of time when he
will be compelled to give up
all hopes Of collecting money
of. the old debts, through the
the inability of the debtor
to pay or a refusal to do
50. If a man will act dis
honestly in taking advanta-
age Of an insolvent act, can
the creditor hope to get any
thing more from him with
out it? The moment he
seeks to make his debt now
he will take the advantage
Of the constitutional exempt
ions and thus it is as bad in
one case as it is the other.
But there is a fact in con-
sidering this exemption
which we cannot cast aside
however hard this law might
fall upon the creditor class.
We take it that a great
majority Of our people who
are in debt, if they had no
obligations further than the
caring and protecting them
| S e lv G 5 individually,
would not hesitate to sur.
render all their possessions
to pay their debts. But
nearly all who are in debt
have families to provide for
and what can appeal to a
man with more force than
his duty to care for his own
household? He sees and
recognizes on the one hand
his obligation to pay his
debts and on the other his
wife and children wandering
from'thelr little home if this
debt is paid in full. This is
hard either way, AT this
point the golden rule should
find a seat in the hearts Of
both. Already the tread of
tee homeless is echoing from
ocean to ocean. The good
