CONVERTED DEADBEATS
CAUSE HAPPINESS

Merchants in England and Wales
are happy ever the fact that the
great religious revival is causing peo
pie to pay their debts.
Hhere is substantial good result
of religious enthusiasm which even
the hardest-hearted materalist must
acknowledge.
Missionary work in the heather
lands makes good customers for the
products of civilization. It has long
been recognized that, in a broad way,
the dollar in the missionary box is
the best investment the business man
can make. And now the English and
Welsh merchants are learning that
money given in support of revivalists
comes back multiplied many times.
The mystery of some peoples finan-
cial responsibility has never been
fathomed They may be the soul OF
conscience in every repect but this.
Perhaps they never get dollars
worth of any commodity without a
firm intention to pay for it. But
somehow they never do pay fer 1t,
and all the while the thought of not
paying for it is harassing and even
shocking to them. There is needed
an authoritative psychological study
of the respectable, well-meaning
"dead-beat."
Probably no one on earth save
bishop OF the English church would
have been found to object to the re
vival which began in Wales and IS
spreading in EReland on the ground
that it is causing people to pay their
debts. The bishop of Carlisle in a re-
cent address. expressed his scorn OF
this sort of conversion and lntmated
that the man whose moral sense mad
not already made him honest was
doubtful acquisition, under an emo,
tional impulse. tc any religious Or
eanization. A man. he said should
he honest up and down and through
and through. A religion OF emollch
and crocodile tears might cause the
man who was not thus honest to pay
his debts, but it would hardly trans
form him into a person Of real con
science.
The idea of a man who is as re-
lieious out of church as in it and who
never required conversion to prevent
his buying things that he had no ser
ions intention of paying fer is attract
i've. There are many such men. 1et

OF BUSINESS MEN TO BE Sc

PlTAL ASSOCIATION.
Membership Is Now $50, and Associa
tion Has $4,000 for Build

The Woman's Hospital and Benev-
olent association held its monthly
meeting with Mrs. W. l.. Dewoody,
July II. 1t wS decided to get an ad-
visory committee to be composed of
business men who would agree to
assist in getting the affairs connected
with the raising of funds for the erec-
tion of the structure. and in the over
sight of details in connection with
the building. into practical and bust
ness-like shape.
The organization is grateful for a
cash donation of IS mailed to the sec
retary from an unknown friend. Same
was put in the treasurer's hands.
The association has about $4,000 as
nest egg for the project, $1,000 of
which matured in the Arkansas Build.
ing and Loan association in April.
The workers have implicit conf
dence that they will receive the
hearty and necessary cooperation
and money as needed to carry out the
plans as specified, estimated and ap-
proved by those competent to judge
in such matters.
The membership is now $50 and
ought to be 1000 strong. An entrance
ee of 81 and a monthly due of ten
cents will admit to membership, and
this much needed benefaction de-
serves this small support from all the
women of Pine Bluff.

Put on Pension List at Texarkana
for Service in Confederate Army.

il is easily to be fancied that the mer-
chants and shop keepers, of what
ever faith or moral system, are
pleased when they see the revivalists
Wickling dulled ccnsciences and caus-
ing long-standing accounts to be set
tied.
In spite of the adverse opinion of
the bishop of Carlisle, the common
ly-accepted view among levelhead-
ed business men must be that the con
version which causes ''dead-beats' to
pay their debts is a first-rate kind OF
conversion.
The convert who takes time from
his praying to hunt up and square
his accounts may not stand the high
est with the bishop. but he makes a
hit with all the rest, and no doubt a
harp already tuned awaits him on
high.

pointed to investigate the subject.
It is known that, besides matters in

government bought seventytwo Ian

ton amounting to scandal concerning
the purchase of large supplies and ia
vOritism to certain business houses in
awarding the contracts, will be laid

It is considered to be unlikely that
the report in full will be made public

known as the "Keep-mum" commits

today in absolute secrecy, as hereto

WHERE WE STAND.

" AL1L W Il ~ ANA
Replying to the criticism of
Col. Philips elsewhere in this is
sue, the GAZETTE is very sorry
that it cannot please Col. Philips.
The GAZETTE knows that he is
very conscientious about what he
writes and Of his opinions ad-
vanced; so is the GAZETTE. The
GAZETTE would not have referred
to his article heretofore except
that a statement made as to the
attitude of the GAZETTE was
wrong and it felt it a duty to cor
rect it. The GAZETTE does not
invite patrons to express their
opinions and give them the space,
assuming the expense of putting
their articles in type for nothing,
and then fall out with them and
enter into continuous discussion
with them. But when a CORES
pondent makes a mistake in de-
fining the position of the GA
zETTE, either as to the past or
present, the GAZETTE will GER
tainly make the correction.
While there is no great differ
ence in the views of the GAZETTE
and Col. Philips on the question
of controlling interstate rail-
roads, except on the point of gov
ernment ownership, the GAZETTE
sees a vast difference between
government control and regula-
tion thereof and government
ownership. The method of con-
troll and regulation that Presi-
dent Roosevelt advocates is a
system opposed to government
ownership, and such system of
regulation excludes the idea OF
government ownership.
The GAZETTE cannot go into
newspaper discussion with Col
Philips on these questions he
mentions because of it's limited
space, which cannot be occupied
with prolonged controversy upor
one question. The GAZETTE ha;
stated its position several times
upon these questions to the effec
that it is heartily in favor of reg
ulating and controlling, in aid O:
the public good, corporations a.
advocated by President Roose
velt and as endorsed by the re
publican party, and that it is no
in favor of government owner
ship Of one railroad or any othe:
number Of roads.
Our government will eventu
ally regulate and control the rail
roads by proper laws and decis
ions of the court. This pape
does not accept as its undispute'
guide the 'GlobeD-emocrat, tn
Chicago Inter-Ocean," or an.
other paper. It feels able t.
think and act independently o
any other source when it obtain
the facts. For the information
of those who wish to take tn
trouble to investigate, it invite
their attention to the fact tina
government bonds are bought
sold and speculated upon, in tn
q stock exchange of New York i
r. a similar way that are all othe
bonds and securities. The only
difference being that us. bonds
being of more permanent valu
renders them of a less fuctuat
ing nature in price.
