TAYLOR'S NEUTRALITY

Of the vaunted neutrality of Editor Taylor of the Paragould Soliphone, the Little Rock Demo- crat has traced up a bit of recent history that becomes relevant, when such gushing eulogies of our misfit governor appear in other public prints as paid for advertisements. This little ex- pose of why neutrals CD should become sloppy in their homage to the great Jeff, we reprint be- low:
 If our memory is not at fault, Mr. J. R. Taylor, was at one time an opponent of the govern or, and did not hesitate to say so. When the governor needed the services of a thoroughly 'non- partisan expert to audit the books of the treasurer a short time ago, MT. Taylor was select ed. The work took several days, for which the modest sum of one hundred dollars was allowed. Why not be neutral under such conditions? And why should the governor fail to take advantage of the write-up and pay to have the same inserted in the papers at his own expense, in order that 1t may be seen how very neutral some folks are? We give it up.

The Folly of "scrimping."

The Folly of "Scrimping.''
Question is, TO change the subject,
does ii always pay to be saving? There
is a kind OF saving which, IL strikes me,
is no economy at all. I refer to that
painstaking ''scrimping" which pre-
vents one from enjoying the good things
of life, good clothes, good food, an oc-
caSiOnal visit 10 the theater, an outing
now and then. | know some women
who save for problematic old age and
VINO in consequence are enjoying all the
misery of life at the present stage of
the game. Undoubtedly to save a little
is a good thing, but how many of US
never reach the old age for which we
deny ourselves so much.
I am reminded of the story of the old
woman with the potatoes. Every day
when she went down cellar she picked
out carefully those that were growing old
and cooked them first The result was
that she ate moldy potatoes down to
the end of the heap, for the fresh ones
kept growing old while she was saw
ing them and picking out the other
ones. 1 think sometimes that, as in the
case of the old woman, it is not short
sighted policy to use the best first.
Artists are beginning to live-there is
not doubt about that In the old days
any old building was good enough for
an artist: dirt didn't count. modern
conveniences were not for him, and
Mrs. Artist concealed the household i'm
pedimenta as best she might behind
convenient screens. Now all is changed.
New buildings for artists are springing
UP on all sides. and they are models of
fine architecture and artistic interior
decoration

SHOULD LOVERS TELL
EACH OTHERS SECRETS?

1t is a very delicate and important
question to decide just what secrets of
their previous lives an engaged man
and woman are morally bound to tell
one another. How much easier it is for
the engaged man o. woman who owns
a more or less disagreeable secret to
simply keep silence on the matter than
run the risk of a fatal interruption to
the course of true love by what may be
perhaps, after all, quite unnecessary
revelation.
Even those who would themselves
make complete disclosure of all their
own past and insist upon a similar con-
fession from their future partners
even the most scrupulous in this re-
spect would probably be actuated by
motives of'prudence rather than a love
of candor
However well a secret may be kept,
there is always chance of it's leaking
out, and love is seldom blind enough to
fail to see the advantage of not leaving
the relation of even the most innocent
episodes In ones past career to the ma
lignant tongue of idle gossip.
There are girls who exact a very gen.
erous measure of confidence from their
lovers on variety of matters not al
ways personal. and yet many have not
discretion enough to keep safely the Sc
crets with which they are unfortunate
ly intrusted.
Great CONSERVATION was recently
caused among the relatives and friends
of a young business man who startled
them all by suddenly breaking off his
engagement within a few weeks of the
date fixed for his wedding. A valuable
trade secret. TO the inviolate preserva-
ton of which he owed nearly half his
income. had in some mysterious way
got to the knowledge and possession of
a rival in the same town.
After many fruitless endeavors to find
out how his private affairs had been
betrayed to the competitor in question
the unfortunate trader got on the right
track at last, and was no less panied
than astonished to trace the disclosure
to his own fiancee.
The fair culprit on being taxed with
her foolish indiscretiOn admitted hav-
ing mentioned what she then thought
OF no consequence to a girl friend, but
of the Importance of which she is now
fully cognizant, having lost lover and
gained a local reputation for a peculiar
and extraordinary lack Of common
sense.
