Tho Collins bill, now before the legislature, should 1t become law is measure which would work a great hardship on many Q poor man who already makes many sac. rifces in order to keep up the pre- miums on his insurance policy that E his family may not suffer in case of bls death. Add 10 this burden an oncrous state tax on his policy, and great many now carrying life insurance will be compelled 10 abandon il, thus cndangerlng the comfort and well-being of those dependent upon him for provision n for the future. A better plan-bet. ter for the farmer and for the busi
 ness community at large-would be to tax mortgages, and tax them to the utmost constitutional limit. A rigidly enforced dog tax would also be a righteous measure and perhaps supply the needed funds for the treasury. I here are other and fairer methods of taxation than that which might justly be denominated blood-money wrung from those who seek to protect their wives and helpless little ones by carrying an insurance upon their lives winch will drive away
 the gaunt shadow of distress and
 want when they die. Kill the op- pressive Collins bill beyond all hope of resurrection. There is good deal of demagogy behind it, anyway. Some of its ad dvocates are apparently simply playing to the galleries. let the bill be for ever squelched.

A railroad commission bill will pass the legislature and become a law. The pressure brought to bear upon the appointing power will be very great. as place on the com mission will be an honorable and lucrative one. Eastern Arkansas Is certainly entitled to representa- tion on the board, and THE TIMES has in its minds eye the very man for the place. He is a gentleman of fine legal attachments, of wide experience in public affairs, is con. servative Tn thought and pains. taking and thorough in work, and would reflect credit upon our sec ftioD, upon the commission and up. on himself. At the proper time his name will be brought forward as a candidate for railroad com missioner, and we trust that Gov. Jones will not forget the import ance of selecting an Eastern Ark ansas man. We have more rail- roads than any other section of the state, hence we confidently expect to be recognized in the mak cup of the commission. It is a matter of simple justice, and our claims can- not be consistently ignored.

Prior to 1882 the low temperature which has prevailed this season would have augured low stage of water fol this section of the country. At and since that date. owing to the perfection to which the levre system on the Mis- sissipri side of the river has been brought. new gauges have been neces- sary to tack on to the forecasts of the old river man. The stage of water in the St. Francis basin is now and will henceforth be regulated by the resisting power of ihe Mississippi and Louisiana levees. Hence the importance of this side of the Mississippi river having a levee that will exclude and force the water by the basin, regardless of con. sequences below and hence the i'm portance of the issuance of the Ievee bonds and the completion of the evee at the earliest possible period.

ANOTHER REMINDER

IL is not the policy or the n'en tion..of THE TIMES to .consta.'ily dun it's readers for the price of ~ub scription. We make it a rule to send out statements once or twice ssch year, and expect that to be sufficient notice, and we have a right to expect prompt payment without going over the same work.
 During January these statements were made. We are grateful to t.e large number who responded during the month. This prompt ness is highly appreciated. Nothing s, encourages the editor as a prompt payment of subscription. It demonstrates to him that, with all his shortcomings, hls efforts are appreciated.
 Now, friends, if you have not already done so, please respond to the statement sent you last month. If there is any reason why you should not or cannot pay. let us know what is the trouble. We arc always glad to see you whether you come to pay or not.
 We regret that few rsons who have had the paper for several years neglect or refuse to pay for it. We intend to put such ac- counts Tn the hands of the collec. ton agency. If yours happens to be among them it will be your fault, and we sincerely hope you will not force us to do so.
 Respectfully,

The bill taxing insurance poll. cies is not meeting with much favor as far as onr knowledge extends.

Backbone and Grace Needed in the Pulpit
Condemnation Of Rapes and Lyrchings.
People Should be Taught to
Resnect the Law,
Respect the Law.


Baltimore. Nd, Aug. 3O.-The status
of the colored race was discussed today
at the second annual convention of the
District Foreign Missionary Society of
the Colored Baptist churches. The
President. Rev. DR.. w. c. Brown, of
Winston, n c.. sounded the keynote in
his annual address. From the express
sions of approval given by the delegates
it becomes evident that he voiced their
sentiments in condemning unlawfulnesS
by negroes. as well as unlawful punish
ment of their crimes.
The President said in part:
THE greatest sociological question be-
fore the people of this country is what
shall be done with the negro. Three
alterations have been suggested, subJu-
CATION. emigration or determination
but the true solution has not been touch
Characterization. Put backbone and
grace in the pulpits; put moral COVER
and courage into the ministry. both white
and black, let them preach fearlessly the
gospel of peace and universal brother
hood Let the people be taught to fear
God and keep his commandments; let
ALL both white and black, be trained to
respect the majesty of the law and this
much vexed race problem will solve it
self.
LET us condemn rape and rapists;
lynching and lynchers. Race preachers
are menace to the religion of Jesus
Christ. and by cunning, ill-advised indoc-
trination and subtle theories they are
sowing from the pulpits tares i'll suffi-
Gent abundance to choke the maturing
grain. Race maniacs may do for politi-
clans, but they will mot do for preach
ers''
In indorsing the Presidents address,
Rev. DR.. II. Spiller, of Hampton Va,
said:
Il am as ready as anyone to rise up
and condemn the wrong dOer. he ne
white or colored. / want to sustain the
law, and if necessary for the protection
of our homes, to extermlnate every
negro who disobeys the law
