The proposition of the townsite company to donate block 24, a very eligible site between Mena and De Queen streets, and $5, ,00O in cash for court house purposes, is certainly very liberal and one that our people gladly accept.
 Petitions are now being circulated in various portions of the county, and they will be presented to the county court when it meets next Monday, asking that an election be called to vote on the proposi- tion to move the county seat from Dallas to Mena. This will meet with almost unanimous approval.

 We will be asked to contribute such of our products as we may have during the season, but no cash contributions will be asked and we should all work together to secure the best specimens of fruits, grains, vegetables, etc., to help out this display. If we con tribute to this display and make it attractive people looking for homes along the line of this great road. now so we'll advertised, will be attracted here and come to make homes with us.

BRAINY TEEN IN DEMAND.

Tine Arkansas Gazette, under the above headline, refers to the next legislature and the kind of men needed as members, as fol- lows:
 There is no good sense in pledging vour support to a candidate whose on- lv qualification is his ability to hustle about a community, see every voter and with fiattering promise beg his suffrage. The best men are not those who have nothing else to do than make a house to- house canvass in search of support for office The peo- nle should have something to say in the selection of men whom they desire to make the laws that govern them. The hustler after votes is not always ti,e man yhc is most competant to frame your laws. The mixer" Is good fellow. It is with pleasure that we listen to him. He is very enter taipinp. But there is something more than entertainment that should be ex- acted from an individual who aspires to the responsible position of law makinQ 1t is no child's play to be member of state legislature. It is not a primary school in which men should be sent to learn the science of statesmanship The people know what laws they desire should be en- acted and they ought to know their men.

This office is in receipt of a copy of N. w. Aver & Sons American Newspaper Annual for 1898. This is a very large vol umn and contains much valuable information for newspaper men and advertisers, giving, as it does, an account of every town and pa per or periodical published m the United States. The only criticism we have to offer is of a local na- ture, the report concerning Mena showing that the publishers dc not keep pace with such rapid growing towns, owing probably to the fact that the annual is pub lished in Philadelphia. Aside from the fact that it reports the Scorpion" as one of our dailles, when it was changed to the ''Dis, patch" fully seven months ago, ii reports us as having no bank, oul nearest being at Ft. Smith, when we have had one ever since the 10th day of last May, or over ten months. This is about as slow as old Philadelphia is supposed tc be.

If there is any man named for office on any ticket now before the people of Mena whom the voters believe will not make a good off clal, or who while in office has not worked for the public good, it is their patriotic duty to scratch him and vote for some other man. No candidate should object to this and every independent voter not bound and gagged by party will do this.

HOW TO ENFORCE THE LAW.

Past experience has shown the writer hereof how hard 1t is to en- force the liquor laws, especially when we have officials who wink at their violation. It is even very hard to do so when our officials desire honestly to enforce them for the reason that it is exceed ingly hard to get witnesses to tes- tify against those who sell them liquor. We notice that even at this date in Kansas where the prohibition law has been in effect for many years nearly all these convictions have been secured by the use of paid witnesses hired as spies and this method entails ex- pense on the prosecutor besides being looked upon with disfavor by the people.
 During a conversation recently with Justice of the Peace A. P. Alexander, he informed us that the county officials of this county made an earnest effort to enforce the liquor law and made several arrests, but in no case could the witness be induced or made to tes- tify against the parties who had sold them liquor. In the words of a prominent attorney, lit is easier to write an indictment than it is to substantiate the charges therein made before a court" Yet we would not advise the cessation of efforts to enforce all laws.
 It is unfortunate, we think, that the individual who files a com plaint against a party for violat- ing the liquor law should be compelled to give bond for costs, also unfortunate that it is not made the imperative duty of the prosecuting attorney to prosecute all known violations of the liquor laws.
 It is we'll known that saloon men are very cautious about vio- lating the United States liquor laws and before commencing to sell provide themselves with United States license. The pos session of such license ought tc be considered good evidence in any court that the possessor was engaged in selling intoxicating liquors and, when coupled with other evidence even of a circum. stantial nature, should secure con viction when the party is ar raigned for the violation of the state laws.
 We should endeayor to be prac tical along these lines, as practica as we are in regard to other laws or, as we try to be in business matters.
