I wish every man and woman. every
boy and girl might read "Merrie En-
gland" You might not agree with the
author in all he says, but there is much
that would appeal to your best ideals.
1t might not move you to action, but
1t would set you to thinking.
Well. what can be done? Change the
conditions.
There should be no saloons
There should be no slums.
Get rid of both at any cost. But
how? well. how did the English peo-
pie get their Great Charter? How did
the Americans or any other people get
their political freedom? A million
graves ana several billions IN money
was the price paid for the freedom of
the slaves. How has every great re-
form been brought about? I sometimes
wonder IL finally men will be called up
on to choose between soldiers graves
and drunkards graves for their sons.
We do not allow our children to do
as they please. We know their judg-
ment and feelings are not developed
and would lead them into trouble. We
interfere with their personal liberties.
or we control them for their own sakes
as well as for the sake of their neigh
bors- have no patience with the idea
that simply because a human being has
grown to a height of 5 feet inches or
more. or to a weight OF $50 pounds or
more, that gives the right to do as he
pleases. We no longer believe in the
Divine Right OF Kings. But this divine
right of each Individual is even more
absurd. No The rights of the individ-
ual are second. The rights Of the
masses come first. And wherever a
man is found whose judgment or feel
ings make his family or neighbors suf-
fer, he should be curbed. Paternalism?
Yes. But paternalism instituted and
by a Car for his personal
ends is one thing. Paternalism insti-
tuted and enforced by an enlightened
for the benefit of all, is
crite another matter.
In dealing with my pupils or my chill
dren do not allow their present feel
Ings or judgment to interfere with my
judgment. I look forward rather to
the time when with better feelings and
maturer Judgment they shall say: Yo1
were right applying the curb. And in
dealing with the saloon men and with
neither their feelings nor
their judgment should H. considered.
They are not normal men. Both feel
ngs and judgment are unreliable. Look .
rather to the feelings and
Judgment of their children and grand
children.
The majority does not rule. 1t never
lid rule, and it should not till more
han half the people see the interests
II all and are ready to demand that.
All great reforms have been carried
through by the minority; often very
small minority, who had the intel
igence to plan and the self-control nee
.ssary to execute without reference to
he feelings and judgment of the ma

tions disease and idleness and ignor-
ance and hunger and debauchery will
be gone. A new race of human beings
will be here. Change conditions and
you change men. And there is no other
way. But this must be done by the
minority. The majority are not ready
for such changes.
But how change conditions. I have
suggested one way and it may come to
that. But there Is another way,-a
slower way. This slower way is being
tried and with good results
There is hope for all in the great up
lift that has come to the average man
and to all above him: in the growth
Of public spirit to a degree where it
no longer asks: Am 1 my brothers
keeper? but admits without question,
though still slowly: 1 am my brothers
keeper. This growth of public spirit is
women as Miss Barton, Miss Gould and
Miss Adams and their associates: in
the gifts last year from private purses
of seventy millions in money for pub
lie education; by the general public
feeling that all should be trained along
useful lines: by the growing public
feeling that no man can do his best nor
be at his best, till all have joined the
upward movement; by the stand taken
by corporations and business men and
ployees who drink or gamble; by the
public interest in child labor: by the
interest some employers are showing in
both body and soul OF the workman;
by the interest in tenement-house re-
form; by the changes in country life
along agricultural lines. social lines and
educational lines; and by the pressure
scientific men are bringing to bear up
on public officials, showing them what
to do for the public health, and forcing
them to do it.
All this is good. But it is not enough.
If the conditions are to be changed by
public opinion, the majority must know
what is needed and how to get it. So
far as L can see, this burden of in
structing the majority fails much upon
the teachers, the preachers and the
press.
OF the many things needed mention
only three and can offer only a sugges-
ton or two for each:--
First, further changes in the educa-
tional system. Second, public officials
who are both honest and courageous.
Third. work for every man who wishes
to work, and a Molokai for all who
will not work.
Wonderful changes have been made
n educational matters during the past
twenty years. You know what they
are. But they are not enough. Fur
Their changes are necessary. For in
stance, half the time spent on mathe-
natics is wasted, because the work is
begun too early. What the pupils get
oy drill and worry during the first six
Jears would come to them by intuition.
f the teacher would let them alone till
he brain was more developed. Give
hem, rather, more work with the
hands and more work leading up to
he sciences, as a basis for understand
ng their conditions. Second, half the

Finest Electrical Plant in City.

One of the features of the extern
sive mill plant Of the Sawyer and Aus
tin Lumber company is the electrical
plant that is necessary to operate the
box factory and supply light for the
mills and the yard. Their entire cleo
trical capacity is of the latest and
most up.to-date machinery. The box
factory will be run entirely by cleo
tricity. There are several large ma
elines to run this plant alone and
there are six aluminium cables from
the power house to the box factory.
This is the second plant in the world
using aluminium wire for this purpose.
The wire does not rust or corrode,

Lively Interest Taken i'm

One of the men who came to Pine
Bluff from afar is Mr.. j. N. Eason.
Mr.. Eason came here as a skilled la
borer and was engaged in the Cotton
Belt shops fnr number of years.
While he was actively engaged every
day in his vocation, his mind was also
working and planning financial enter
prises outside of his everyday en-
ployment. His first venture in bust
ness for himself was the raising of
a cotton crop. His observation had
! been SO accurate that he was able to
succeed in the growing ofsootton from
fthe first. He kept this uT for several
years and succeeded handsomely He
was also successful in operating and
promoting real estate deals. Within
the last few weeks he has invested
some of his means in the branch gro
Gerry store of Strauss and Miller, on

Mr.. w. S. Stewart arrived in the

that he had shot two women and that

told Williams that he had done him
a great injustice.
