WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY,
Appropriately Observed by Child
rem of Public School.

Washington's birthday was
appropriately observed at the
High School with a very enter
tanning program. The exercises
were held in Miss Faulk's room
where all the children assem-
bled. A few parents and visitors
were present and enjoyed a pro.
gram that was richly deserving
of a larger audience. Washing.
toms life and character were
epitomized, but so well that the
salient points of his history were
presented in a way to make a
lasting impression. The excel
lent and amusing performance OF
the soldier boys" is worthy of
special mention-they got special
notice by an enthusiastic recall.
Those who attended felt well re-
paid. The program was as fol-

HEATS FROr1 DISEASED CAT
 TILE.

It is all right for the Beef trust, after being compelled under the whip of exposure and public opinion, to clean up and change it's methods of handling cattle and meats, to cause investigations" to be made by learned doctors and scientific men, and then publish their report under the headline Packing Scandal was all mistake" with a view of allaying public prejudice, but when they, in that report, declare that cattle afflicted with such diseases as tuberculosis and lumpy jaw are healthful food for human beings, they do not help their case little bit, but, instead, turn the public away from their products.
 It occurs to us that regardless of the opinions of those so-called scien- tific men, that meats taken from cattle afflicted with those diseases is wholesome food, that the average consumer of meat would turn loath- ingly from it if he knew that it came from a carcass thus diseased. We feel quite sure that no local butcher would offer such meat to his custo- mers and would soon go out of busi- ness if it became known that he did.
 Is is only big corporation packers, who boastingly state to the public in defense of their trust methods that they never allow any portion an animal to go to waste in their estab- lishments, that have the hardihood to announce to the pnblic that meats from diseased animals is wholesome food. It is quit likely that when embalmed and packed in cans no one would know the difference.

mcnt had failed there would have been no money for roads in Arkansas save the small and utterly inadequate amounts that the counties might spare from their general funds. If the amendment had failed numerous projects for the paving of streets in Little Rock and other cities through improvement districts would have been abandoned.
 Really, public spirited and pro- gressive people do not like to picture in their minds the unfortunate re- suits that would have come if this beneficent enactment had been struck down. But now that it has been affirmed by the highest tribunal in the state let the great cause of good roads and good streets move for ward in Arkansas without a halt. n Arkansas Gazette.

DR. R. T. CONNALLY.

The announcement of Dr. R. T. Connally for the honorable position of representative of this county ap- pears in this issue of the Star. Dr. Connally has been a resident of this county nearly ever since his birth, or for sixty years, he being only one year old when his father came and settled here and it is needless to say that he is we'll and favorably known by all the old settlers, as well as many new ones, as he has always been active in public life and good worker for the upbuilding of Polk county, both morally and materially.
 Ten years ago Dr. Connally was elected to the state legislature and served the people honestly and we'll, and was nominated for a second term but the serious illness of his wife caused him to withdraw from the race. With his well known ability and his past experience, to- gether with his staunch advocacy of reforms in state and national poli- cies, he is safe man to vote for and will make good representative should the people elect him. Of one thing they are sure he will never be found connected with any legislative project not honorable or that in any way savers of graft.

JOUR PIONEER FEATHERS. '

Hon. Thomas E. Watson in his Life and Times of Andrew Jack son." now running in Watson's Magazine, has the following regard ing the farmer pioneers and pro tection::"
 "The historian, the orator, the painter, have been eager in the duty of blazoning the deeds of our pioneer missionaries, lawmakers and sol diers. The names of these heroes live, and deserve to live. in letters of light upon the records of our country. But, to our pioneer farm CTS, justice has never been done. Theirs was a combat calling for soldierly trait of John Smith and Miles Standish. The patient cour age which swung the axe, in the depths of primeval woods. was no less heroic than the bravery which made the musket conquer. The toll of the warriors march was slight by comparison with the homely, but ex- hausting, work of preparing the soil for the sowing of seed. The arrows of the red men were not more dead- ly to the soldiers than were the levers which rose from the swamps and pulled down the settler as he struggled to open out his farm.
 In the South, in the East, in the West, the story of the pioneer blow man of America is one of dauntless courage. of quiet heroism. He found the New World a wilderness and he has well-nigh made it gar den. His axe, his spade, his hoe, his blow, his muscle, his brain, his very heart and soul have all been enlisted in the work; and never once has his lips uttered the craven's plea for Protection. Never once has he gone to the doors of legislation beg ging special favors. Never once has he lied to government and people for the purpose of securing a selfish advantage at the expense of his fellowman.
 No. He has not only not de- manded of the government either protection or privilege, but he has submitted-yes, for one hundred years he has submitted Ito be rob bed of portion of his annual pro- duce in order that our Infant Indus try Capitalists should be able to build up the corporate power which now, in the form of trusts, domi- mates the republic and secures the lions share of all the wealth created in every field of industry"

Corner of the Crossroads.

(A. J. Waterhouse in San Francisco Call) At the cornor of the crossroads, when
 you don't exactly know Which way is the better turning and
 which way you ought to go, There's oft man who sadly errs and
 takes the downward road, To find that rue and wormwood on his
 pathway there are sowed; And he walks with pain and doubting, as host of men have done, Missing ever in the shadows all the glory of the sun; But there's still consolation for the most astray of men: He can go back to the crossroads and try the thing again. One may go back to the crossroads, and, in brief, I'm telling you, On my somewhat vagrant journey, that livery often do; And so must every man who hopes at last to win prize, For, one and all, we sometimes stray, as haply you surmise; But there's no road that leadeth down which may not be retraced, And many man who journeys wrong another way has faced, And still we'll hold it as a truth, the best of all we ken: We can go back to tho crossroads and try the thing again.

We call attention to the notice regarding the State University and containing useful information for those contemplating attending this very excellent institution. Pine Bluff papers are having much to say rather boastingly over the fact, as claimed, that Jefferson county has seventeen students at the university, the largest number of any county in the state. The fact that this, Polk county, has sixteen shows that we are close competitors and that with a little effort we should stand first in the list during the next term. The fact that this county is only one behind one of the oldest counties in the state is something to be proud of and speaks we'll for our rapid growth and progress, for be it re- membered it is only of recent years. since the coming of the railroad ten years ago, that Polk county has been considered of much importance as compared with other counties,

THE ROAD TAX SUSTAINED

The affirming by the Supreme court of the decision of Chancellor Hart upholding the validity of the road tax amendment to the constitu- tion means that the counties of Arkansas are not to lose their pre- cious privilege of levying tax for the building and maintenance of highways. It means that road taxes are still to be collected off cit prop erty and used as fund for the aid of property owners who are willing to go down in their pockets and tax themselves for the paving of streets. It means that Arkansas is to remain in the front rank of the states by reason of having a wise and equit- able road tax law instead of being relegated to place with those un- fortunate commonwealths whose statutes provide no means for the raising of money for building roads.
 If the Supreme court had over turned this amendment six years would have elapsed before the amendment could have been re- adopted and taxes collected under it made available for expenditure on roads and streets. If the amend
