f.om nortion of the district near A,theimer. The district was formed hy an act of the last legislature. IL extends along the north side of the Arkansas river through Pulaski, Lo- noke and Jefferson counties. The board was authorized to raise s3o0,' 900 for the improvement. Later 1t was discovered it would be necessary to continue the levee to Altheimer, and the board entered into contract with Leonard to do this work. At the time it was known by both that the $3OO,O00 would be exhausted and certificates would have to be issued. Leonard claims that he has been un- alle to borrow money on these cer- tifcates, and for that reason is un- able to go on with the work. He pro- poses to stop until he can secure funds on these certificates with uhich to complete the work. The board of directors sought and secured an injunction in the chancery court at Pine Bluff Leonard appealed the case.

TO ANNUL ITS CONTRACT.

Twenty years ago, when the Iron Mountain railroad secured right of way through the city it contracted to haul as freight all stone to be used in street paving at the rate of $1 per car load.
 Dnring the term that Mayor White las been mayor this contract has been carried out by the railroad.
 Monday, however, Mayor White received communication from a high official of the road stating that this contract would no longer be carried out.
 Mayor White says that he will ten. der the railway company the usual amount for hauling stone and that if this is not accepted, the matter will be carried to the courts

ratieat public has extracted only a few scant kernels of fact, and noth- ing on which to warrant convic- tion.
 To cultivate an attitude of mean suspicion is the vice of small minds; to make wholesale charges of dishon- esty without definite proof fit for court review is in itself disreputable.
 Let us hope that the wholesome re- action which has set up against the "muck-rake' habit will serve to cor rect this most venal fault of mind without glazing the criminal or assist ing the evil-doer to hide his guilt.

WHAT DOES eoRkY MEAN?

4 The following editorial is from the brilliant pen of the Hon. Henry Wat terson, philosopher, statesman and editor of the Louisville Courier Journ- al. It is timely and worthy of the ser ious consideration of the American people, regardless. of politics, Telig- icn, race, color or condition. Mir. Wat terson says:
 Either Maxim Gorky has been put ! in a false position by the fool friends who wrote for him and signed for him an emotional telegram to the al leged assassins of former Gov. Steun. erberg, of Idaho, or he has betrayed a streak of "red' which will not only lose for him the serious consideration of sober, thinking people of America, but provoke in them a feeling of sharp resentment. Greetings to you, my brother socialists" ran the mes sage; 'courage;. the day of justice and deliverance for the oppressed of all the world is at hand
 What rational meaning has this?
 Mover and Haywood are not under arrest on the charge of being Social ists That is not their crime. That is no crime at all. They are charged with murder. The assassination for which they are to be tried was one of the foulest i'll all American history. Their imprisonment has been accomp- lished through the operation of law. If they are not guilty it is for the law to set them free; if they are guilty it is for the law to visit upon them severe penalty. Is the effort of law in America to discover and punish murderers a form of 'oppression?' Is it the purpose of Gorky and his fri ends to imply that Socialism justifles murder and casts upon accused murd erers mantle of virtue, setting above their brow halo of heroismo Does Gorky forget that if there exist in America people oppressed by law. that oppression is the creation of the people themselves. since they themselves are the government? Is he so interruptions or reckless as to intimate that American law is the instrument of absolutism, and that any person who feels it's pressure is a martyred victim of autocratic tyran- ny? Has he ideas of planning an American revolution for the libera- tion of all men charged with murder and the annihilation of all who put confidence in law? Has he aspira- tions of supplanting our we'll ordered democracy with seething anarchy?
 eff Gorky does not repudiate at once the tone of the message sent to the Idaho prisoners he sets himself down an irresponsible and cheap agi tator, a friend to dynamite and chaos, a prophet of assassination and de slruction. The Russian revolution ists, whose ambitions for more fiber. al government long ago gained the earnest, interested sympathy of free Americans, would better have kept such an agent at home. Being here, if he has sense of propriety tucked away in his being, he will board the first steamer bound for his native shores-or somewhere, anywhere lcse himself in a devouring and bene ficient oblivion.

 y breeze.
 These publications have reeked with high-sounding charges couched in vague generalities. for the mos part or put in cowardly innuendo. Rarely have they named specific in. stances of guilt, even in discussing particular individuals; and never have they offered to go before grand juries with proofs of often iterated guilt. While these indiscriminate puryeyors ot filth may have had an ounce of truth in their tons of vituperation, and have done much to dscredit the wholesome reform movement which has risen to such importance in the past year.
 As President Roosevelt points out, the dishonest man who finds him self assailed in the company of five other honest men waits for the hon. est men to clear themselves and  shrewdly escapes by the implication of innocence set up in his fellows de fence. Or if the dishonest man be charged with a crime he did not com init and prove his innocence, it is an excellent cloak to cover the crimes he has committed
 The habit of 'muck-raking' has proven contagious and has spread throughout our entire land. Every state, every city and every commun- ity has it's "rluck-rakers." Pine Bluff is by no means free from them their baneful influence extends ev- erywhere. Here in Arkansas We have not had decent political cam paign in the last decade. Every polit- jcal contest has reeked with charges of rottenness and bitter personaH ties. Private character is lightly re- garded and the innocent along with the guilty have been publicly assail ed. In fact, "muck-raking" is the chief occupation of several politicians end some newspapers in these parts Their vociferous accusations have proven mere chaft, out of which a

wear no clothing. Her attempts to con-
vert her husbsnd to this manner OF life
oyerstrained the copjugal lie.
Herr WoeIhing lately applied to the

renouucing his hereditary rights, which
he was compelled to do oil msirying

this the court consented. Herr Woel'
