TT IS THE LANGUAGE.

Many papers in thls and perhaps other States have criticised Judge Lea and his court on account of the miscarriage of justice in the Covington case, but it was left for the St. Francis County News alone to say "With such men on the bench we can never hope to purge our higher departments of govern ment of corrupt officials, and filthy lucre will continue to exercise it's baleful influence Tn our legislative bills.
 Judge Lea's action has made ofthis a disgraceful farce and the condemnation of every self re- spectlng citizen of the State should be heaped upon his head"
 The Times does not object to the News crlticising Judge Lea. It is the language and extravaganza of the criticism to which we and all reasonable men take exception. Such language has no application or place in connection with Judge Lea's name, because he has a character and reputation which has been made by lifetime of righteous living. We reprinted n criticism from q correspondent in the Arkansas Democrat, which was much fairer, and although we could not endorse all of it, we 1 believe that some of 1t was well taken, and we reproduced it for the very purpose of bringing it to the attention of the News in com- parison with its own extravagant strictures. The criticisms repro duced in the News from other State papers were unwarranted, be- cause they acknowledge that they do not know the facts. It is easy 10 criticise any man without know ing the truth or the reason which prompted him 10 do the things complained of, but 1t is hard in. deed to tell the truth without the whole facts. So therefore it is bet ter to be charitable, and give Judge Lea the benefit of the doubt, in which case his character and reputation would be your strong bulwark.

MISREPRESENTS THE TIMES

In stating to it's readers that The Times had called the editor of the News an anarchist the said editor told fib, but he streHthened us in what we did say. because 'confu. sion is one of the main doe. trines of anarchy. Ii he can sue eessiuIly confuse the truth, he will do il in order, as he thinks, 10 stand in with the "common" people, as he calls them. We would like to know whatthe News man means by common" people and if he thinks he belongs in that category? We have used no epithets toward the News man and he knows it.. Here is what The Times did say and if the News wants to be fair, II will reprodce this article in it's colums:
 The St. Francis County News is bordering very close upon anarchy in its editorial utterances upon re- cent events in the courts of Pulaski County. The sentiments expressed in its last issue would be dangerous to life and property if it should have any considerable following. If newspaper wantonly attempts to bring the law into disrepute, what may be expected of that class of citizens who are eager for a leader to seize upon every oppor- tunity 10 take it into their own hands? A newspaper should above all else, uphold the majesty of the law and the dignity and honor Of our courts, unless there is strong reason to believe 1t corrupt, which is not true of the court in qu estion.

Complaint from citizens Tn the West End have been rife for ten days about the stench from the point where the city sewers deposit their burden. The authorities claim 10 be doing everything in their power 10 abate the nuisance, and though it cannot be done in a day or even week, perhaps, we feel sure they will succeed, as they have in the past, in giving the people the best sanitary conditions of any town of our size in the country. Be patient good people, and give the authori. ties a chance. They are making arrangements to connect the city sewers with the new public ditch just as soon as it can be done, and this, if accomplished, will settle the vexed question for all time.
The Forrest City times., 1905-08-04

The city authorities are doing what they can in a business-like e way to abate the nuisance com plained of by citizens in the West End, and in due time will give them relief. Let the authorities proceed upon the lines which they have mapped out to extend the public sewer to the public ditch recently provided for by the County Court and this will settle the question 0. sanitary conditions for all time.
The Forrest City times., 1905-08-04

There are all kinds of rumors of yellow fever al various towns in Arkansas within dangerous proximity to Forrest City. These rumors, however. are unreliable and cannot be traced to any source and arc not verified. Forrest City has no yellow fever or any other contagious diseases and is in fine sanitary condition generally with probably here and there an excep- tion. The city has quarantined against all infected districts and all open towns, and officials are on the alert. There is, up to this hour, absolutely no cause for alarm among our citizens and every pre- caution will be taken to keep the conditions of health up to the present high standard ofexcellence.
The Forrest City times., 1905-08-04

The Times has no wish or dis. position to quarrel with the News.

Itwas real unkind of the News 10 refer to the Southside as "pov- erty row." and we scorn the mil lionaire editor of that paper, who does business on w Nall street. We fear that great riches are last freezing the milk of human kind. ness which once was wont to course his veins. Yes, we of the southside are poor, but we're proud, and do not like to have il thrown up 10 us.

The News wants to know "what we mean by the term anarchy or anarehlsty We think there is no complicated definition to either of these words. We have not used the latter word lately but when we do use either of them we will mean jast the plain, every. day, common, old meaning. Does the News know of other defini. tions? Perhaps 1t has found others in it's Statistics"

Ths suggestion that the State militia be ealled out to establish a quaraetine was good one.

The Forrest City times., 1905-08-04

The record of The Times for more than thirty years disputes the charge that it has ever defended any man or set of men who violate the law, and We defy any man to produce a single line from this paper which will in any manner substantiate the St. Francis Coun- ty News in saying that "Ihe Times has taken up the oudgels in defense of the boodlers," etc.

 We understand from reliable source that he has concluded to ask the democratic hosts of this county for this office and that he will an. nounce his candidacy later. Ncwt Landers, as he is familia.iy known and called, has beer resident of this city for sixteen years.
