The Rev. Frank Crane of Chicago
says: "a minister is asked many
times week what an unemployed man
is to do in Chicago. Thousands are
out of work. The afternoon newspa-
per offices are besieged by crowds of
men eager to get hold of the want ad-
vertisements, to see where they can
get something to do. 1 have been
asked to give some word of practical
advice to a man seeking work in the
great city. The best word I can think
of is this: Get on the cars and ride as
far as your money will carry you then
get off and walk as far as you can, al
ways headed straight away from Chi
cago." Doubtless many of those unem-
ployed Chicago people would take the
Rev. Cranes advice were they not
aware of the fact that hoboing, while
in one sense having much room, is still
a crowded profession.

Greece, through her ministers at the
European capitals, has informed the
powers that she feels she has been be-
trayed. The Greek troops were in
many instances recalled and prepara-
tons for carrying on hostilities discon-
tinued, all on the promise of the pow
ers that they would Immediately inter
vene When thus at disadvantage
the Turks renewed their attack, and, of
course. the Greeks were defeated. Rus
STA is the power that has stopped the
fighting, but not until Turkey had cap
tured Domoko and secured about all
the glory and material advantage pos
sible. Yet, backed by Germany, Turkey
was prepared to overrun all Greece, and
but for the Cars imperative telegram
would have done so. Now it remains
to be seen if Turkey will keep Thessaly.
England is opposed to the idea, and the
other powers are supposed to be, but
Turkey. having modified an army of
half million of her best fighting men
In Europe, the powers will be very con-
siderate of her interests. Only small
mart of this army has been used in
Greece. The Sultan has the rest of it
reserved for bigger game. A general
European war would probably benefit
Turkey. The London Times sums up
the SuItans attitude toward the pow
srs nv saving: His insolence is only
moderated by his contempt.

Murder.

Valparaiso, Ind, June 21.-Word has

The heart of humanity is

and feeds her children with
five dollars a week, is OF
much greater interest than
one whose life is devoted to
luxury and fashion and indo-
lence. The display of the

The editor of the Guart

The editor of the Guard
has finally admitted that
saloons are instruments
which may lead men into
sin. If we are not mistaken
in the keen insight which
the editor applies to all
conditions which are likely
in any way, to effect the
of Batesville, and
his honesty of purpose to
speak the whole truth, he
will, before the gem city of
the hills" is again free from
their influence, be alleging
BE- engines Of he'll
Sharp County record. (Evening Shade, Ark.) 1877-1976, 1897-02-26

A number of the business
men of Batesville have been
lead to believe if they will
again license saloons that
prosperity will return to
that little city. Nothing
could be more fallacious.
The farmers who trade
with Batesville merchants
now, have not more than one
dollar where they had five,
ten and fifteen years ago,
and consequently they can
not buy the goods they did
at that time.
Another reason for the
decrease of the trade of the
merchants of that city is
that within the last ten or
twelve years a number OF
country stores have sprung
up in the territory which
used to patronize them and a
great number of the peo-
pie buy their goods from
these merchants who in
turn buy their goods in St,
Louis, Before these stores
came into existance this
entire trade went to Bates
vile.
Another important reason
is that within the past
decade Mammoth Spring
and Hardy have come into
prominence as commercial
points and have attracted to
the Kansas City railroad a
large number of substan-
tial farmers of Sharp, lizard
and Fulton counties who
formally gave their Gus
tom to BatesviIle.
If prosperity has for
saken Batesville, these are
the reasons, and if her en-
terprising citizens wish
again to see her return,
they must do what every
other community in the
South must do build up
home industries. Build
woollen and cotton mills,
shoe and wagon Factories,
These will bring healthy
and permanent prosperity
to the community, employ
ment for the idle, and bread
for the hungry.

Are there no SINS IN Sharp county

Well, yes. We have

as yet, free from the blight

that the editorial page of
the Guard has beer our
ideal of all weeklies we have
been privileged to read for
a rumber of years, and we
have often found that its
editor wandered outside of

sins of other sections with
almost ruthless pen. If

the sins which our esteemed

The basis Of or free i.

The basis of our free in
stitutions and their per-
petuity rest in the fact
whether or not our peo-
pie are capable of self
government, nd self
government means the
enforcement of laws en-
acted for the regula ton of
our institutions. When.
ever a people of any COM
munity abaudons a law
which if enforced would
build up society financially,
mentally ard morally or
either of these, they deny
the great and oft repeated
doctrine that our people are
capable of governing them
selves. This is especially
so when a community
abandous a prohibition law
for the reason that it can
not be enforced, and then
allowing this some element
which wlnks at the law
enacted to build up man,
hood and protect woman
hood, to 60 into the courts
and procure license to con-
tinue it's work of debasing
mankind, That community
can no longer realize that
the principles which estab,
llsh justice and insure
domestic tranquility reigns
supreme with them,
