MANHOOD vs MONEY.

Down at Monticello, one Of the prettiest towns in Arkansas, is publish ed the Drew County Advance of which w. A. Mofatt is editor.
 The Advance is one of the few papers in the state which heretofore has been carrying whiskey advertising It has been carrying big line of them and must have gathered in S25 to $40 per month from them judging from Its ad. columns. The last issue of the Advance contained the following an nouncement:
 The Advance has decided to cut out Whiskey advertisements, so no more will be taken. To be truthful about the matter. we hate like blazes 10 loose the business. but as matter of principle have decided not to carry them
 Thus I hts if if Is Is ssha. ssihia. manhood conquers over money. and another paper is ad- ded to the big majority which will not accept whiskey ads. for love nor money.
 The good work goes on year by year
 There are just few good papers in Arkansas who allow their columns to be disgraced. for few paltry dollars. with the dirty and degrading whiskey ads. but as the months go by this small list gets smaller and smaller. as the publishers realize that the filthy lucre" is not to be gotton at the price Of manhood and principle.
 All honor to the Advance and its courageous decision.

How Uncle San Levies
 Taxes.

One striking feature of the internal revenue laws Is that they never look to quality or value. but always to quantity. The tax on 1000 cigars is three dollars, no matter whether they are "Pittsburg stogies" or the Key West brand whose retail value is. say. twenty-five cents each. The tax on a "Pittsburg stogie' is about one-fifth of the retail value; 1t Is less than one eightieth the value of the Key West cigar.

refsued to give information. although the law in this state makes the owner ship of such license sprimafacie evil dence that the owner was selling liq- uor. A recent act of congress ap- proved by President Roosevelt June. Fist. which changes this condition is as follows:
 "Be it enacted by the Senate and house of Representatives of the Unit ed States of America, in Congress as- sembled. that chapter 3 of the Re- vised Statues of the United States be and hereby amended in section 324o. so are to read:
 Section 324o. Each collector of internal revenue shall. under regulations of the commissioner of internal revenue, place and keep conspiciously in his office for public inspection, an alphabetical list of the names of all persons who shall have paid special taxes within his district, and shall state thereon the time. place and business for which such special taxes have been paid, and upon application of any prosecuting officer of any state. county or municipality he shall furnish certified copy thereof. as of a public record. for which fee of one dollar for each 100 words, or fraction thereof. in the copy or copies so re- quested. may be charged.
 Under this law and our own state law every druggist who. takes out revenue license to sell certain patent medicine which the department has declared to contain alcohol can be re- quired to take out state. county and citylicense where license Is issued and are liable as illict distjllers where prohibition prevails. and under the laws as they now exist there sshould be no trouble to convict those who take out revenue license. if officers will try to discharge their sworn duty.-Hope Gazette.

N INCONSISTENT ARGUMENT.

One of the real strange and incon- sistent things in the argument of the advocate of open saloons in commit nity is that they invariably say: "Oh! I'm for prohibition if it would only pro- hibit but since there are violations Of the law, I'd rather have the open sa- looms and get the reyeue.
 Now those who argue thus are put tinp themselves in the whiskey and saloon advocate line up. The very inconsistent position they take. puts them there without any further effort of theirs. and any thinking per son will see it just that way. too.
 Every law under the sun is daily being violated. The law against murder. rape. and arson. even with a death penalty. Is violated; the law against theivery. gambling. etc are violated. even with jail sentence penalty are daily violated; but we never hear these kind prohibition friends suggest that these laws ought to be done away with and these crimes and misdemeanors licensed, just be, cause the violations of these laws can't be stopped
 Why do they so foolishly pretend to expect so much more from the pro hibition laws than from any other law under the sun2
 Stop trying to hide your friend ship for "old booze" and the open saloons. behind such thin and flimsy excuse. Be honest and plain; If you favor the "booze joints and their de- grading business stand out on the open and say 50 and do not endeavor to fool anybody into believing that you stand on the moral side.
 Be plain and honest with yourself.

sician studies medicine or a per- son who is to become an attorney studies law. They must not on- ly know how to do things, but why they are done. They must know the effect upon the soil of different methods of culture and the effect upon animals of differ ent systems of feeding. They must know a thousand things
 that were unknown to anyone a generation or two ago, and then
 and not till then, will they be in a position to practice farming as intelligently and as successfully
 as does the physician practice
 medicine or the attorney practice
 law. It requires time and some money to acquire tils knowledge, but not so much as is required to
 prepare for other occupations
 and professions that yield good
 returns. There is no prepara-
 ton necessary for the laborer
 who uses the pick and shovel at
 a dollar and a half day, but preparation is necessary for the person who earns three or four times that amount in any kind Of
 work. There is no preparation
 necessary for the farmer who is
 content to harvest what the soil
 produces of it's own accord, but
 preparation is necessary for the
 farmer who produces three or four times the normal yield of the soil. The man who manipu- lates the soil and directs the ele- ments of nature in an intelligent manner in the production of that crop is the important factor,
 rather than the soil itself.
 Fathers and mothers who desire their boys to become farmers should encourage them to make the requisite preparation for their l life work, and then there will bel less abandoned farms and less discouraged and disheartened farmers.

Students of the Farm.

The time is fast approaching when the intelligent, industrious and energetic farm boy will oc- cupy a more prominent place in the affairs of the state and nation than he has occupied in the past
 The rapid pace which has to be taken by people engaged in the professions and in mercantile pursuits in order to successfully
 meet the competition on every hand is not conducive to the mental endowment of the descen- dants, and the farm boy of rug eed constitution and industrious habits will be in greater demand to take their places than has ever been known. Much as has been written in regard to the prominent part that such breeding and early training in the country have contributed to the success ful management of great enter prise5 and the successful prose. cuti)n of professional matters, much more will be saif in the same direction in the future. The farms of the eointry, says com- potent authority, have been and will continue to be the nurseries where tle ranks of those with overworked brains and shattered nerves will be replenished. There is also d most promising future for the farm boy who takes up agriculture as an occupation Farming is no longer drudgery and muscular exertiOn, in which
 the man occupies about the same place as the beasts of burden but is an industry calling for the keenest intelligence and the ap- plication of we'll defined princi- ples. If the farm boys can be made to understand that the cu,. tivation of the soil and the feed- ing of stock are based upon prin- ciples as we'll and clearly defined as the principles that underlie any mechanical or mercantile business, and that when the sam 6 skill and energy are applied yield as profitable returns as these, they will offer greater attractions to them. When to these facts are added the opportunity to participate in public affairs and the assurance that because they become farmers they do not sur- render all claim to the public re- cognition and renown, they will enter upon the work of the farm with greater courage and less foresodings. In order 10 obtain these results it is necessary that they be fitted for the work as thoroughly as persons are fitted for work in other matters. They must study agriculture as the person who is to become phy-

THINKS POLE CAN BE LOCATED.
Peary Delivers Lecture on His Lat
est ExDcditiOn.

Commander Robert e. Peary gave a
public lecture in New York Saturday
at the museum of national history
upon his latest attempt to reach the
north pole. He said in the course Of
1t that he was satisfied there is a body
of land somewhere about 100 miles
northwest of Grantland. His party
he said, found driftwood 100 miles
from Grantland in the open Polar sea,
which he was convinced could only
have come from rivers flowing through
land not yet placed on any map.
Commander Peary said also that he
believed that if the polar winter, dur
ing which he had made his attempt,
had been a normal one he would have
reached the pole. He thought it could
he reached with no greater expense or
loss of time than he had experienced
in his expedition. With his added
knowledge of Arctic conditions, he be-
lieved the pole could be reached with
sledges, but the explorer should leave
land further west than he did, at
about Cape Richards and should not
proceed straight toward the pole, but
toward the northwest and thus take
advantage of the natural drift of the
ice and currents, which is southwest.
He discovered, he said, an unique gla-
cial fringe on the northern coast Of
Grantland, which he believed to be
the origin Of the paleocrystic or always
frozen ice, which former explorers had
thought come from ice massed about
the pole.
