FayOrs A Reform School.

The movement for reform school
for juvenile criminals, which the papers
Of Arkansas have been advocating for
years, has found champion In Gov.
Davis. He says in his inaugural address
II now desire to call your attention
to the urgent necessity for the establish.
ment Of u state reform school In which
the youthful offenders against the Grim
inal laws of our state may be taught
some useful trade or occupation that
will prepare them for citizenship when
they shall be restored to society. Our
state has reached that period Of civilian
tion and advancement that no longer
should we tolerate confinement Of these
juvenile offenders IN the jails and
penitentiaries with older and more
hardened criminals, whose lives and
habits are low and vicious, The true
object Of all punishment by imprison
ment is the reformation of the offender,
and especially should this be true with
regard to the youths Of our state whose
tender years and indiscreton has led
them 70 the commission of crime, and
for whom reformation Is far more
probable than for those Of more mature
years. To accomplish this purpose,
this institution should be not only Il
place of confinement, but In all It's essen
tial features school for the education
training and employment Of its inmates
In some useful occupation, 40 that IN
the shortest possible time II will be safe
TO return them 10 the community ~
useful members Of the commonwealth
and as contributors TO rather than sub.
tractors from Its value. This institution
should be placed under such control and
management as You in your judgment
may deem most advisable.

Germ of Yellow Fever Is Finally Dis
covered.

Germ of Yellow Fever is Finally Dis
covered.
A Havana dispatch of recent date
says:
The commission of experts visiting
here to study yellow fever, and, If pos
sible, to ascertain its exact nature and
antidote, has been far more successful
than could be hoped. The commission
is headed by Major Walter Rees, sur
geon United States army, and has been
making it's investigation at Camp Co.
lumbia, in the vicinity of Havana, since
last July.
The commission has discovered the
long sought yellow-fever germ. 1t is
found to be an animal parasite and not
bacteria, as was generally supposed
The announcement of the discovery
will not be made officially until the
findings of the commission have been
reported TO the surgeon general OF the
army, who ordered the investigation.
The proof is in every way conclusive.
The absolute correctness of the mos
quito theory has also been proven to the
satisfaction of the hundreds of physi
clans in Havana, who, from time to
time have witnessed the experiments.
A few days ago the commission ex'
perinented on monkey, allowing it to
be bitten by an infected mosquito. The
investigations are still in progress, and
each succeeding day adds proof to what
has already been ascertained. The
workings of the committee are private,
80 far as the lay population is con-
cerned, but the army surgeons on duty
here as we'll as the local physicians have
been allowed to profit by it.
A radical change in the treatment of
the fever as we'll as its ultimate eradi.
cation is one of the probable results of
the new discoveries.

Jim Russell Killed.
Indavs Fort Smith Times,

From Sundays Fort Smith Times.
Jim Russell, who was very well
known in Fort Smith, was killed yester-
day morning in Mine No. 3 of the
Prairie Creek Coal company. Russell
some years ago was superintendent OF
the Huntington mines and was fire.
quent visitor to Fort Smith. In late
years he has been following his work in
the pit and was so engaged when he met
his death.
Russell entered his mining room in
Mine yesterday morning and like all
miners tapped the roof of the room to
ascertain if everything was safe over
head As he did so a large rock fell
from the roof crushing him to the
ground. He made an effort to avoid the
falling stone but was not quick enough,
His cries attracted the attention OF
some of his mining associates in the
adjoining rooms and they came to his
assistance He was carried from the pit
to his boarding house where he lived
until o clock last night. He was un-
married and will in all probability be
buried at Prairie Creek.

BoTH the outgoing and incoming gov
ernors failed to recommend any measure
looking to having the grand old state OF
Arkansas properly represented at the
Louisiana Purchase world s fair at st.
Louis, and yet this is subject that
demands great consideration at the
hands Of the present general assembly.
It Is presumed that Gov. Davis will
send special message to the law max
ing bodies on this all important subject
at an early date. 1t cannot be deferred
to the next legislature because that
would be too late to collect the neces
ssry exhibit of the resources Of the
state Arkansas Democrat.
A bill to that effect has since been in
troduced,

In the Philippines.

From the ST. Louis Republic
Senator Lodges frank discussion OF
the Philippines situation, In which he
acknowledged that, to his thinking, the
insurrections among the Moros and
other uncivilized tribes Of the interior
would never cease, will not greatly
surprise the American people.
The conviction has become general
that, IN deciding TO permanently hold
the Philippines, we must accept, along
with whatever commercial advantages
may accrue, this certainty OF intermin-
able war until the native race has been
sSterminated There IL, indeed, no other
prospect In sight, The better class OF
Filipinos will forever be our enemies
because we have denied them their
national independence, The wild tribes
will fight MS from sheer savagery.
II may be that IN taking up this
white mans burden we shall he
doing good work for civilization In the
long run that ", we shall, NJ the loRst
annihilate the barbarians, which Ia the
worst they could do to US, with all their
barbarism The pity Ia that IN doing
this bloody missionary work we mus,
also vt the same time directly violate
American tradition and principles and
stihe the American spirit which pro
claims the rights OF all peoples TO liberty
and self government, The prospect 4

Pledges His Cooperation.

Permit ME, said the governor In
concluding his inaugural address, "to
express the hope that your session will
be a pleasant and harmonious one and
that you will do all in your power by
wise and conservative legislation to
promote the material growth and de-
velopment Of our state, by lending all
proper and legitimate encouragement to
the investment Of capital In our midst,
whether for the building OF railroads,
factories, or the development Of the
many natural resources of our state
and ~ your chief executive | tender yon
my earnest cooperation in all things
that will increase our prosperity and

and his closing words are all progressive

carrying out Of this policy will In few
more years make Arkansas one Of the
leading states OF the Union.
