A New 1edicai Society.

To view OF the tact that medical
men throughout the state of Ar.
kansas, and the United States as
we'll, are organizing and associat.
ing themselves together fer the
betterment Of each other, for rails
ing the standard OF the med ica |
profession, and for better protect.
ing and garding the health of all
mankind, the doctors of ST.
Francis county have not proven
themselves tardy in this forward
movement of the profession at
large.
1t is said. and is doubtless a
fact, that Arkansas has been be-
hind in many things, such a.
schools, Improvements, methods
of farming, finance and other
things-chiefy among which may
be mentioned, her laws regulating
the practice of medicine, or rath.

to regulate the practice of medi-
cine, and TO stipulato who shall
practice this noble art; thus Great.
ing a condition allowing Arkan.
sas to team with INSCRIPTIONS and
unqualified doctors and all man.
ner of quaok medicine vendors.
Here is the necessity for the real
guardian of public health, TO or
ganizo and associate themselves
together that they may cause to
be brought about radical change,
and give Arkansas as good con.
sciencio1s, and as well.quali6ed
physicians as can be made of hon.
est, industrious and painstaking

On the evening Of December 5,

A VIGOROUS PROTEST.

EJitor Times:-As the State
Teachers Association has put IL
self on record favorpg . radical
change in the school law 10 the
extent OF abrogatfog the exami-
nePs Office and crestng instead
that Of county superintendent,
the writer desires 10 enter s
vigorous protest against soeh e
move. for such = law wonld not be
conducive 10 the best interests OF
education within the state. The
practical operation Of such law
you'd be Capitalization Of pow
or. removing of The school dis
triet government TO the county
seat. and the creating Of an Official
plum. The scramble for winch
uoald result more in political wire
pulling thar educational good.
The Law as il now stands places
The government Of each school
exactly where it ought to be-that
"a in the hands OF the directors.
Each school district has III pecu-
liar conditions, and each board OF
directors can better leglslate for II
than any one individual perhaps
miles away. 1t - a conceded fact
fhat the schools OF the state de-
not educate as they should; that
the directors for some reason do
not guard the trust reposed il
them in such 8 way Is to give the
state that degree Of moral excel
fence and intelligence required OF
them. For this reason, with 8
few others, the Office Of county
superintendent is offered as 8
remedy, but il will BOT meet the
conditions. An idea is abroad 10
amend the law as il now stands.
requiring at least two of the diree-
tors Of each district to hold
certificate from the county exami
ner equal to the grade of the
school over which they preside,
and, in addition thereto, 10 be ex
amined in regard to sobriety,
morals and school government
This seems 10 be the key to the
whole situation. The general
character and intelligence Of the
school directors determine not
only the kind Of schools. We have
bat also the moral and Intelligent
trend Of children over whom they
have control. The best teachers
can do but little when handicap.
ped by ignorance and vice. I'm
agine the influence Of director
who is in the habit of getting
drunk, or one who makes q prac-
tice of using vulgar and profane
language in the presence of chill
dren, or of one who never goes
into the school.room to encourage
the teacher and pupils. Such is
the sad plight Of many, many of
the schools Of our state today.
Let's have a law that will bring
the matter Of education and morals
to the very hearthstones of our
directors. The teachers have had
10 meet it and they can meet it.
Without such qualifications, the
teachers are helpless and the
achools worthless, and county
superintendent! could not, and
would not make matters better
A law so framed would be the
very salvation of the state moral.
ly and intellectually. To meet
emergencies, temporary license
should be granted for year, then
the director should go again be-
fore the examiner TO give an &C
count OF his stewardship. In a
few years, under such a law our
schools would show vigorous
development on all lines.

all about disru.pting our entire

all about disru.pting our entire
fiscal system, nor do they give
any assurance as to how often
cases of emergencies may arise
which will necessitate the assem-
bling of the legislature in extra
session, and extra sessions being
not limited as to time, grafters
in that body could prolong the
sessions to make the four dol
lars per day, which is quite a
tempting inducement to the
average legislator.
We are convinced that If the
change is made not dollar will
be saved to the taxpayers OF the
State after the first few years,
unless the composition of the
general assembly is very consid-
erably improved. and therefore
would vote against the joint res
olution for biennial sessions.
We do however think our consti-
tuition needs amendment in other
particulars; the clause which
prohibits special special legisla,
tion; under it, many Of the towns
and counties are greatly hindered
from getting Improvements they
would otherwise have if a spe'
cial act could be adopted suited
to their needs, which probably
is not needed elsewhere, but un-
der our constitution, unless an
act is general in it's scope it can
not become a law.

If our legislature will reduce
our interest rate, small farmers
will be able to borrow money to
work upon a cash basis, the re-
suit will be that more attention
will be given to intensive farm
ing, and with cash system IN
vogue the lien bushes would be
knocked into smithereens; credit
would be put on a more stable
basis, and labor would be easier
to manage. AS it is, a fictitious
credit system, makes fictitious
prices for goods, which is boil
stored up by bull-ox collateral.
This country would progress
with rapid strides if our own peo-
pie could tear away from their
eyes the scales of narrowness,
ignorance and selfshness. We
think every man elected to the
should be pledged to reduce in
terest rates.

NO BIENNIAL.

The matter of biennial ses-
sions of the general assembly
has been discussed by the press
Of the State to a considerable e3-
tent and with a singular unani-
nifty the newspapers have ar
gued for the popular side of the
question. The joint resolution
to submit it to a vote Of the peo-
pie only lacked one vote for the
constitutional two-thirds, and
now the resolution is still pend
ing and will be one of the meas
ures to be acted upon when the
legislature meets. When a mem
Der of the Senate we voted for
bi-annual sessions twice, but
since then we have experienced
a change from watching the
working of biennial sessions in
other States. The argument in
favor of having the legislature
meet every two years, except IN
case Of emergency is popular be-

rough seas to encounter, and
many obstacles to remove, but

only to promise a continuance of

The cotton conditions do not
seem toweaken, Notwithstanding
the recent slumps. but to the con-
trary are getting stronger and
there is no telling where the
price will reach before the next
years crop is obtainable. 1t
would not surprise US in the
least it see cotton bringing upon
our local market IS cents per
pound in the month of March,
and to those who are out of debt
and can afford to do so, we can
safely advise the holding Of cot
ton, but to a man owing money
that is due, or whose property is
encumbered, it would be as Grim
inal to hold cotton at the present
prices as it is to buy futures with
trust funds.

Pope Plus x has put the STAMP

Pope Plus x has put the stamp
of his disapproval upon concert
music in churches, and With this
eminent Catholic divine we most
heartily agree. The tendency OF
the day is to proselyte by max
inc the churches as enticing as
possible, they offer all kinds OF
attractions and some of them
have cast aside the religions wor-
ship altogether and converted
houses consecrated to Almlghty
God, into mere concert halls,
where the same orchestra that
plays on week nights for the
vaudeville or ball, on Sundays
play in churches similar music
with hynnal words. Some
churches as an extra inducement
to capture membership have in
stituted a cafe attachment where
the tired and hungry may refresh
themselves, and if the thing
keeps on it may reach the point
where clown will be employed
to amuse and beer passed around
in the audience. The purpose is
to attract, ostensibly to lead peo-
pie heavenward. but when ir-
religious means are adopted, it
means the enlarging of the collec-
ton plate, the increasing OF the
pastors salary, and the leading
of the enticed hellWard.
We have no patience with
some of the modern methods of
exhibiting piety. There was a
time when a man who professed
to be minister was seen daily
going about relieving the poor
and distressed; his mission was
to alleviate the sufferings of hui
manity. to teach them to pray
and to hold up the torch of hope
to light them on in a path to
glory. But today,it is common
thing for pulpits to be filed with
professional orators who seem to
regard it beneath the di ignity of
their profession to associate with
the poor, who regard it the duty
of doctors alone to visit the sick,
and who think it sufficient to oe
the friend of the wealthy of their
flock. The orthodox plan which
was to have the song service as
sacred as the prayer service, is
fast giving way to pulpit lectur:
ers, hired artistic music and
ready-made prayers, which may
serve as a good substitute, but
we do not think so. We prefer
the reverence and ministry OF
the olden times.
