BANKRUPTCY LAW,
TiMaptirall, E-ypraSS

Congressman Cousins has introduced
a bill providing for the repeal of the
bankruptcy law. The law has served
the purpose of relieving those who have
debts they never expect to pay. and ii
should not now continue for the benefit
of those who might, but have not the
disposition to settle with their credit
ors. To a Chicago Tribune correspon-
dent Mr. Cousins recently said, in con-
nection with the subject. that the bank
ruptcy law was enacted for the pur-
pose Of permitting honest persons who
We're deeply involved in debt to rid
themselves of their burden. announce
to the world that they were bankrupt,
and We're ready to begin business with
clean slate. .All such cases have
now been acted upon by the courts and
the law is now being taken advantage
of by dishonest obligations. This Is a
hardship on the business world. and the
law should not be permitted to remain
upon the statute books any longer.
Where 4 business house has an alert
collection man. and finds means to
force its creditors to pay, he should be
given the benefit of his alertness, as
against the man who neglects to look
after his accounts, and therefore the
law should be repealed so far as to not
permit debtors to escape from the pay
ment of their obligations. Business
men turnout the country are anxious
to have this law wiped out, and 1t
would have been done at the last ses-
sion of congress If it had not been
amended so as to remove some of its,
most Objectionable features. 1t cannot
be denied that many honest persons
are taking advantage of the law which
was enacted for the benefit of those
who were involved in debt and could
not engage in business, because If they
came into the possession of any assets
their creditors would swoop down upon
them. take away their funds and ruin
fhail. SinaSs :"

1t has been suggested by one OF the
citizens Of our town that we need a
waiting room" for the mothers and
daughters who come many miles from
the country to do their shopping, and
frequently have to wait most of the
day for the masculine members of the
families, and they are forced to stand
around in the stores, room out and in
the way. OF course there are some
people who prefer to do this, but the
majority would be glad to know there
Is place where they may go and rest.
Two citizens Of the town have under
taken to visit the merchants, asking
them to express themselves with re-
gard to the matter. There was evil
dence of much interest. some were
enthusiastic, said it was much needed.
All said they would do their part.
The idea is this: The merchants pay
the rent of the room, also pay some
one TO keep the room in order. The
ladies of Forrest City to furnish chairs,
and other little comforts. The mayor
OF the town see that water is conveyed
there with necessary eonyeniences.
No one can object to such an arrange
ment. 1t may fail, but it is worth try

Mr.. and Mrs. E. Milan have been our

When we see the precious blossom,
That we tended with such care:
Rudely taken from our bosom.
How our hearts almost despair.
For precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;

Which never can be filled.

The boon His love has given:
And though the body mouldeth here.
The soul is safe in Heaven
Though It's hard 10 break the tender cord.
When love has bound the heart:
IT'S hard so hard, TO speak the words,
Must we forever part

But thy memory will be cherished.

And in our aching hearts We know;
We know we have no Elmer now.
On Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding.
