cleared, the $6,000 revenue to Craighead county arising from it's dozen saloons will be wiped out with possible deficit in the sa- loon account.
 Ordinarily what applies to an individual will apply to a com- munity of individuals or to a county. The individual who squanders his earnings for drink usually has poor credit, a ne- glected family and little money. A community of drinkers would be community of paupers, ex- cept those who fatten upon the rum traffic. A county given to drink, where the open saloon is maintained, must of necessity share similar fate. No county can prosper with open saloons, where the county receives only a SMALL proportion of the spells and assumes ALL the financial responsibility of criminal prose- cutions arising from the traffic.
 If the saloon keeper was re- quired to give bond for the pay ment of all costs in the criminal courts arising from the whiskey traffic how many men do you SUD- pose would take out license? Yet the county would, for the pitiful sum of $500, turn an open saloon loose, to run at large and say in effect, "Go it, boots, and we'll foot the bills"
 Now many voters in Greene county want to form a co-part- nership with the open saloons, by which you will get a rake-off of $5OO and undertake to pay all the costs arising from the traffic. Wouldn't you, as an individual having property to make your obligations good, consider it a bad business proposition to ac- cept from any saloon keeper $45O and for that consideration agree to pay all the criminal court costs that might arise from the opera tion of the saloon? As an indi- vidual you wouldn't do 1t because you would be afraid that some drunken fellow would kill some body and it would cost thous- and or two thousand dollars to try the case. If you as an indi-

GRAVE ROBBERY
 CASES CALLED,
Roberts and Lightle May Ask for Change of Venue, Hoping to Have Case Sent to Bald
 Knob or Beebe.

Searcy, Aug. 31. The prelim- mary trial of three men on charges growing out of the al- legged attempt of Dr. R.G. Lightle and others to swindle certain life insurance companies is set for to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock in Justice w. E. Harlin's court here. There are three defend ants, Dr. Lightle, John V. Rob- erts and Walter Gregory, and the charge will be that of violating the grave.
 Gregory returned to Searcy to- night, in company with s. M. Powell and several other insur- ance agents. This is the first time Gregory has been in Searcy since he gave bond, over a week ago, and no one here seems to know where he has been. It is generally thought that he is to make a clear breast of the whole affair. This opinion is shared by Roberts and Lightle.
 Roberts denies that Senator Clarke has refused to defend him, and says that he has re- toined Hon. Jos. M. Stayton, Judge M. M. Stuckey and Hon. Gustave Jones, of Newport, to defend him, and that he has letters from Judge E. G. Mitch ell, Frank Pace, of Harrison, and H. A. Parker of Clarendon and from about thirty other promi- nent attorneys and friends, who volunteer to assist in his defense if necessary.
 It appears certain, from indi- cations tonight, that the defend ants will ask for 9 change of venue tomorrow, with the hope of sending the case to either Beebe or Bald Knob.

Don't you think that successful county financiering requires the same application of business principles that make individual financiering a success? If you do, how can vote for your county to enter into a business scheme that you as an individual would consider very hazardous? If you are truly patriotic citizen you won't do it, you will vote against license.

by the friends OF the Boss as re-

is to be deplored that the harmony
