THE BOARD OF TRADE.

In another column we publish u let
ter signed lone OF the Members
which TO our mind is very timely and
worthy OF due consideration by every
we'll wisher in this town. We profess
to be enterprising. and yet when we
organize for the purpose OF securing
advantages which can only be obtained
by organization. our efforts are shelved
and nothing comes of it. This should
not be. 4 board of trade is a necessity
to every well operated commercial
town. and because we do not accom-
plish what we set out TO do at once, IS
no reason why we should give up in
despair. There should be an active
interest taken in the organization. and
wherever such is the case good has re-
suited. We venture TO say. II the
board of trade had some attachment by
which It's members might manipulate
a few dollars out Of it. the interest
would not lag and every fellow would
be punctual in attendance. Well, u
board of trade has dollars attached TO
il, but they are not counted out at the
meeting, these dollars come indirectly,
they come by bringing our business IN
terescs together III an organized effort
TO induce buyers here for our cotton
and tobacco products: to arouse u
healthy competition. to secure better
prices, to awaken i stronger confidence
with the patrons, TO persuade the
transportation authorities TO grant
more rapid and cheaper facilities and
by an organized effort hold out in
ducements for new people with brain,
muscle and thrift to come here.
No town can thrive commercially
which confines itself in d cloister. it
must brush aside clannishness, nar-
rowness and bigotry, and throw wide
open It's gates. The town OF Manning
has advanced considerably in the past
few years, but the good work should
not be allowed TO stand still-the limit
is not reached if our people will act
with clear-headed judgment. y
board of trade should be an active fac
tor in advancing the towns interest,
and it should be revived by al means.

STATE CAMPAIGN.

The biennial touring OF candidates
for State Offices has about worn itself
out. The candidates do not attract as
many people as do the local candidates.
and as there are only candidates Tor
Railroad Commissioner who have oppo-
sition. we doubt exceedingly if their
circling around the State will pay them
for their trouble The people as rule
know very little about the office OF lsalI-
road Commissioner and look upon II as
somewhat OF SiDecure or q stall 10 i
stable and fatten broken down political
horses. The class who nave business
with i railroad commission are con-
stantlv complaining OF its lack OF pro-
lection for the people. and that so far
as the practical effect to the masses Is
concerned. better results are obtained
direct from the railroad authorities
than are by appealing TO the commits
sion.
Hon. C. ". Garris is the present
chairman of the board. and we believe
he has made study OF his office, and
has not only carried out the law, but
through his Intelligent researches
number of valuable Improvements for
the public benefit can be placed to MS
credit. and so far as we are concerned,
we see no reason why Clarendon should
give the magnificent vote it gave him
six wears ago TO another simply because
the other wants the Job. and unless The
opponents Of Mr. Garris can show that
he has not reer mindful OF the peoples
Interests. but On the other hand has
been neglecuful cl corrupt, we think
chev will lose time here. Our people
think if it is right to give the Governor
and the other State officers a second
term it is also right TO apply the same
to the Railroad Commissioner. SIX
wears ago, after watching Mr.. Garrls
efforts in behalf OF the people, we were
the first 10 nominate him for Railroad
Commissioner, and the people OF Cl2.r-
endon endorsed him very hatreringly,
this was gratifying to US then, and II
we had any reason to feel that he has
not beer faithful to his trust, now that
he stands for reelection. we would be
found urging our readers 10 vote against
him, but his record so far as we have
been able TO learn is clean, and we en-
dorse him for rec. ;tion with pleasure,
and sincerely hope the people OF Clar-
endon viii do likewise.

The News and Courier is now. and
has always been opposed TO the dispen-
sarv system. we are not. but we Go not
favor forcing :; dispensarv upon L COM
munity that does not want 1t. 1t Is our
opinion. the traffic in liquor is betterreg-
ulated through the dispensary system
than anv other so far tried. even granting
the system is reeking with corruptlon'
Vet. for certain communities the syS-
TEN is very satisfactory, in other com
muuities however. we realize II 10 be u
curse. it has brought on decentralization,
induced men TO violate. not only the
law. but their oaths. made them feel
oppressed by Il tyranny not prompted
with motives ior the general welfare,
but for political advancement and graft
as the main object.
There is onl: one way 20 settle this
troublesome question. The people
have never been permitted to have a
voice upon it. If our lawmakers will
lay aside politics, and enacta law which
will permit the people OF each county to
vote on Prohibition. DispenSary and Ii
cense, we believe the solution will be
found. Just so long as the law is forced
upon communities where it is obaoX-
ious. just so long will there De irrita-
ton.
We have been an ardent advocate OF
the dispensary and we still would vote
for its continuance. believing tia better
LIQUOR regulation than barrooms or pro-
hibition not enforced. nevertheless. we
realize that in seaport cities the dispen-
sary law is an oppression. and in prohi-
bition communities the law is very dis
tasteful and obnoxious: and to force q
law upon people. is not calculated to
elevate its citizenship. Whereas if the
people by I; majority vote were permit
ted to have liquor regulation.
whether it be dispensary. prohi-
bition or license. then whichever
they voted upon themselves would be
their own making and would be respect
ed accordingly. The law as it now stands
permits :; few people in d town to have
dispensary established, yet if that in
stitution becomes nuisance TO the
same citizens. and turns out to be an
intrument for evil. the same number of
citizens cannot have it removed: TO
seek relief the question is hurled into
the political arena. and factional aud
othe4' rrejudices are appealed
to for Us continuance. Once let
the dispensary octuDus t;tsten its tenta-
cles upon :. town, It's grip cannot DE
shaken loose until Il majority of the
county has consented thereto, and pos
siblv the voters outside OF the town
have none other than L political inter-
est worked up by politicians. This IS
wrong in practice as well as principle,
and we cannot stand for any law which
so hagrantly shows a purpose to build a
political structure at the expense OF
the peoples liberties.

Death of Geo. E. Dodge.

Col. George E. Dodge. one of the best known lawyers in the state, died at his home II Little Rock on the 9th. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. The deceased was member of the wide ly-known law firm of Dodge < Johnson of Little Rock. general at torney for the St. Louis, Iron Moun- tain and Southern railroad in Ar kansas and Indian Territory. He was born and reared in Little Rock, a son of Dr.R. L. Dodge, a native of Vermont, who came to Arkansas in 1912. George E. Dodge was born ffty-eight years ago. He studied law and was sent to the AL bany law school in New Y ork, where he graduated with honors about 1867. One of his classmates was William Mckinley, of Ohio. afterward president of the United States. They were lifelong friends. Young Dodge began the practice of law in Little Rock in 1868, and was elected city attorney in that year. In 1871 he formed a law partner ship with Col. Ben $. Johnson, which was in existence at the time of his death. This Is the oldest law firm in Arkansas. In 1876 Col. Dodge was appointed by Gov. Garland one of Arkansas, commis- sioncrs at the Centennial EXposi- ton at Philadelphia. In 1871 he and Col. Johnson were appointed attorneys for the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern railroad. In 1887 they became general at toraeys of thatroad for Arkansas and Indian Territory. In the death of Col. Dodge the legal pro fession loses one of it's brightest men and the state a loyal and pro- gressive citizen.
