The anti-canteen law IS here to stay
In spite OF the recent popular agita-
ton. aroused for the purpose of having
the canteen restored TO the army, the
members of the House Committee on
Military Affairs are at present so OPP
posed TO the repeal of the anti-canteen
law that those who have kept no with
the matter are now convinced that all
attempts to do away with the iaw
would meet with failure
Gov. John A. T. Hull, chairman OF the
committee. has often declared himself
as opposed 10 repeating law just
passed by the House and Senate. 1t is
well known that his colleagues IN tic
committee are with him on this propo-
sition.
Minority Agrees.
Even the Democrats agree with their
Republican confreres on the subject,
passively, if not outspokenly. The
prominent minority members of the
committee side with Governor Huh and
say the anti-canteen law ought not 10
be tempered with; neither VIII they
coantenaace an attempt 10 disturb its
operation
The less prominent members of the
committee, the Republicans and the
Democrats. side with the leaders, and.
almost to Il man. the determination is
that the canteen shan not be restored
to the army
Throughout the body of the House the
general sentiment seems 20 b. that the
law should not be interfered with If
the question werekput TO a vote tornor-
row, the anti-canteen law would be IN
disturbed in the smallest particular
This is. conceded III all directions in the
House.
No Repeal Now
There is no chance OF canteen legis-
lation now. said Governor Hull 10 a
Times reporter yesterday. I'VE want
to see that the anti-canteen law has a
fair chance. and enough time to prove
its efficiency.
THE Government has been. and is
now, put TO the expense of building the
posts and halls of amusement for the
soldiers in connection with the law. and
I do not see the Justice of turning
around Immediately and doing away
with the law. The measure is only
about two years old, and it must be
given time to have fair chance.

KEEP MIND ON DRAFT.

The trolley cold, which is the re-
suit of exercise followed by a ride in
a street car, is just now easier to
catch than at any other time. Then
ther is also the subway cold, produced
by the same causes and just as violent
in it's effects.
Nobody need suffer from either sort
Of cold, if the testimony of a physi-
clan is of any value.
"Nobodoy need catch cold, even
in a draft he told ptient the other
day, $50 long as he continues con-
scious of the fact that there is draft
blowing upon him. Just keep that in
mind and there is no danger.
"But forget it for moment and
there is going to be trouble. Taking
cold is largely a matter Of nerves,
and any man who fellows my advice,
sits tight and thinks of the draft all
the time that it is blowing on him
will escape taking cold.-New York

ALLIGATOR KILLED
On a Farm Two Miles West of Town
of Arkandelphia.

A real, live, genuine alligator was
killed near Jarman's, two miles west
of town, last Friday, and was brought
to town and sold to Claud Tobey, who
now has him on display at the news
= stand properly stuffed and in very life
like condition, says the Arkadelphia
Standard Very few people could be-
lieve it when told that an alligator
was discovered i'm this section of the
country, and like the fellow from Mis-
souri,. they demanded to be sighted.
And then. too, when it came to be con-
sidered that the gator was discovered
running at large in the hills west of
town and miles away from any slough
or pond it was hard to believe it was
true. A negro girl was picking black
berries, when she said the thing grab
bed her by her dress. We don't know
as to whether it really caught her or
not, but even the sight of such fero-
cious looking reptile in such an IN
expected place, would be enough. to
frighten one of less superstition than
a negro, and we are not surprised that
she yelled loud enough to attlact at
tention. Rouf Lawlie and Edgar
Woods were passing by at the time,
and going to the relief of the girl,
killed the alligator. They say that he
didn't show any fight and that they
could have caught him alive had they
taken time to think He was not a
full grown alligator. but was the gen
uine article al! right and measured
something over five feet in length. 1t
is thought he went up the Little De.
ceiper creek during the recent rise.
and the waters receding was left on
dry ground.

which We are all alike-we all do |
wrong.
Well when a wrong is done, it is
done. 1t may have been done intent n

and without malice, but it is done.
And when a thing is done it be-
longs to the irrevocable eternity of
the past. 1t has gone beyond our lim-
it's over into the jurisdiction of the

In that eternity then, be contented
to let it rest.
What sense is the.a in living back
there with the dread accusations and
reproaches?
You may sit in sack cloth and ashes
until the undertaken Genes for you.
with your wretchedness piled up
mountain high about you, but it will
result in no good either to yourself
or to the one you have wronged.
Get up and try to atone for the
false step by taking the steps which
shall be true.
If the wrong was real one, meant
by you to be such, make such amends
for it as you can, and then forget all
about it. Do the honorable, and
then let the word be "oblivion'
On the other hand if the wr ong was
rot real one. having been done ig-
norantly. and without evil intent,
then, by all means, cease to think of
it.
What blessing it would be if. at
the close of each day. We could burn
that days records and begin tomor-

Into the west, along with the set

the regrets. all the failures of the
closing day.
What if you did do something
wrong one. ten or twenty years ago.
should the thought of it be permitted
to make you wretched and worthless
today?
Forget it and begin today to be
true!
1t is not by nursing old regret that
mistakes are to be rectifed.
A truce to the ugly past!
