The Chinese Boycott.

great deal of space is being wasted on the
Chinese boycott. If the truth were known it would
be discovered that the boycott was suggested by
concerns in the Uniten States who favor cheap la.
Dor and therefore would remove all restrictions.
These same concerns favor the dago or any kind of
cheap labor. The boycott is game which two can
play The Americans may decline to patronize the
Chinese laundry and the Chinese restaurants The
hand of every American toiler in the field and in
the workshop may be raised against the Chinese
and all the products of the Chinese. Let no Amer.
lean citizen be disayed by the Chinese boycott of
American products. Every American citizen hav-
ing at heart tina welfare of this country should pro-
test against the immigration of the Chinese, the
dago and the scum of Europe-all of which are men.

Speaking of the recent race riots in New York.
the New York Tribune is frank enough to say
1--WE are given to criticsing the lawlessness which
in Southern communities leads to vendettas and
wholesale lynchings, but in the South such out.
breaks usually follow some fragrant crime and aim
at Furnishing known or suspected criminals. In
Fridays disturbance this excuse as resort to
violence was wholly lacking. On trivial grounds,
or without any grounds at all, whites attacked
blacks and blacks attacked whites. Both classes
seem to have acted on the merest impulse of race
prejudice and race rancor.''

Much fuss is being raised by the newspapers
about King Alfonso, who recently while on visit
to other countries showed willingness to step aside
to let ladies pass and was anxious to show them
common courtesies. Also, "every one who met
him was charmed by his politeness and considera-
ton of those much older than himself. We haven't

1t has been suggested that if salaries of public
officials were increased there would be less graft
and thieving. But not so. This would in no wise
serve as remedy. If man is by nature thief
he will remain so. The increase in salary would
not help matters, but, to the contrary, would give
those inclined toward crookedness additional
leverage. When the party in power is alternately
Democratic and Republican there is notceably less

LAMBAST THE EDITOR!

Il seems that one like Fewclothes' has gotten
the editor of the Dodson (Winn Parish) Times into
peck of trouble by contributing an Objectionable
article to the columns Of that paper which was put
in type by the office force during the editors ao-
sence The editor explains that he was away dur
ing the better part of the week and returned nome
late in the afternoon on the day his paper shonld
90 to press. Finding about enough type up he de-
cided to try to rush the paper out by highland
thus the matter in question found its way into
print There was too little time for proof-reading
and reflection, which is common in country news
paper offices, where every one must work in run
on press day.
Now some of the readers and supporters OF that
naner are inclined to make the editor shoulder the
blame Why do this? The article was not his. 1t
came from an outside source, and no one connected
with the paper is in any wise responsible for views
expressed or statements made.
AS far back rs the memory of man reaches it has
been an unfaing rule in the country office to an
nounce from time to time that ''We not respon-
sible for views expressed by correspondents. -
Every man, woman and child (and every gum
head who didn't know what it meant) who has ever
read newspapers has seen this in print. And, still
they don't know it-they can't find it out. The
truth is they don't want to.
The country editors lot is not one to be greatly
envied, and for an ungrateful public to thus try to
make his position less bearabe is perncious; and,
too the cause of complaint really springs from the
public itself.
The editor of country weekly who is located in
single-horse, half. dead town, the streets of which
are overgrown with weeds and reeking with the
filth accumulation of past years, whose lazy and
Indifferent citizens spend their time gossiping,
whiting and besmirching the already unsightly
walks with tobacco juice, while some one else is
clothing and feeding them, whose subscribers and
other patrons pay him off in cord wood, fence posts
turnips, potatoes, etc.. not at all, is indeed a
man to be greatly pitied. Do not censure him. He
is a great and good and patient man and should be
admired above all others.
We do not mean to imply that Dodson is such {
town, or that the editor of the Times is in such po
sition. We have never visited in Winn Parish
We only intend to call attention to the many re-
verses that the enthusiastic and earnest countr!
newspaper proprietor meets with-the man who
persists in publishing a bright, respectable ant
readable paper in town that does not half do it
part and exhibits no sense of appreciation what
ever. There are many such papers on orr ex
change list, and not a few of them are published il

Pool Rooms Win.

Little Rock, Aug. 20. Chan cellor Hart yesterday morning rendered a decision in the Ar genta pool room case, dissolving the injunction against the opera tion of the pool room in that city by Bob Furth and his associates.
 Within half an hour circulars were on the street announcing the reopening of the place.
 The injunction was dissolved largely on two grounds. One was that the city of Little Rock was not a proper party to pray the injunction, as the case in- volved rights of property holders and citizens who could speak for themselves.
 The other was that an injunc- tion was not the correct remedy for the lawlessness alleged against the pool room proprie- tors. They could be indicted un- der the common law and punish ed for any proven violation of it.

Sequel to RisOn Divorce.

Perryville, Aug. 20. Senator Albert w. Rison of this district plays a leading role in an inter esting story here. On Wednes- day Chancellor Wallace granted Richard E. Rison, a brother of the senator, a divorce from his wife on statutory grounds. Sen- ator Rison appeared in court and argued the case for Mrs. Rison. The testimony was very inter esting and attracted a great crowd of the curious. Earlier in the week indictments against Senator Rison and his brothers wife for alleged violation of the marital laws were continued for the term. Friday the county clerk issued a marriage license to Senator Rison and the divorced wife of his brother, Mrs. Minnie RisOn.

SITUATION SERIOUS.

Hot Springs, August 18. The local insurance men have been expecting a rush for insurance policies in the home companies about the middle of September, at which time great many poli- cies in old line policies will ex- pire. The result of the recent drastic insurance measure has been to make the demand fer such insurance as can be secured very strong and all the agents here are being tried to their wits end to place a few dollars more insurance on the larger buildings and stocks. The sit uation as already developed is acute but will be more so as the old line policies expire.
