panies are leaving our country in.
 We know that large companies are getting possession of our finest forests of Faulkner and border counties, therefore the timber that would otherwise be benefcially used by the citizens, both in the rural districts and in the city for building purposes is now being monopolized and sold in shipments to other destinations, or if left in our county their profit is so great that improvements that do not di rectly count dollars and cents which calls for this lumber must be abandoned.
 Following these lumbermen our county is being visited by the rail- road tie companies who take every thing that is suitable for ties. Af- ter our forests have been visited by each of the above mentioned com panies our timber is practically gone, thus causing the landowners and farming people of the county to wonder with astonishment as to what source they will finally have to resort for fencing, etc.
 Can we therefore afford to sell the timber to the companies for a minimum price and look forward with the expectation of not get r., of r-6.ocNtoh h1o but one of extortion when we must have ito To those who reside in parts of this county where these timber companies are now ship ping out choice timber which the farmer would readily purchase coule he buy 1t at the same price, I ask the question, Are you treat ing your county right when you sell the timber on vast tracts of land to the companies, causing the local saw mill to suspend business, forcing the farmers to pay higher price for the timber he uses than he is paid by these companies? This part of the county is being visited by company that is cut ting eight thousand feet of timber per day and shipping it while our citizens would readily buy 1t for fencing, boards lumber, etc., at the price this company is paying I mention this as a simple illus tration.
 In conclusion, I will say that if each citizen would become inter ested in the cause of forest protec- ton to that degree which will prompt him to render his assist ance it will check the destruction and cause the grade of our forests to rapidly rise.

THE NEED OF ENDOWMENT.

''The poverty of Arkansas in educational facilities was never more apparent than today. The south is suffering as no other sec ton of our great republic at this point" says Dr. James Thomas, educational commissioner of Hen drix and Galloway colleges, in an article in the Western Methodist { last week.
 Continuing, Dr. Thomas writes: During the last half dozen years benefactions to educational institu- tions in the United States amount to SO. .ooo. 900, while less than

S ,ooo ,ooo of this sum has been given to the colleges of the south. Of endowment funds in America only SIG, ,ooo, 900 out of a total of SI75, ,ooo, GOO belong to southern institutions. The south owns col lege property and equipment of only Sc, ,ooo, 1000 out of total SIs6, 900, ,ooo. The illiteracy of southern whites is I2.2 per cent against 2.S per cent for the rest of the United States. Arkansas is behind, in all these things, num- Der of her sister states. Hendrix owes $26 ,ooo of debt-has an insuf- fcient endowment and needs $50 GOO of improvements right now. Galloway owes S, 900; needs S75, GOO in additions right away. The day was when Arkansas could plead poverty with some degree of plausibility as an excuse for this painful status, but in view of the fact that the value of Arkansas products has increased millions of dollars within the past fifteen years there is no comfort to be found in our situation. A state that gains more in wealth per day than sever al nations gain in a week is amply able to supply every educational facility that the times demand.
 Next to the scriptural evange- lism, our greatest need today is a campaign for education that will wake the slumbering conscience of our people and enlist their intelli- gence and heart in the correction of our condition. The destiny of our great state is in the hands of our own and other denominations. The time is ripe. Hendrix needs $500 ,ooo endowment and this sum should not stagger Arkansas Meth odists. Galloway needs $Ioo, 900 and this should appeal to men who have the ability to make money.
 "The Little Rock conference has raised her educational assessment that Hendrix be helped in this time ot effort and the preachers collect this assessment with an enthusiasm. I am of the opinion that all three of our conferences will pay 1t in full. Let no Methodist preacher fail in his educational assessment.
 Fellow citizens, I am more deeply impressed than ever before of how our Christian schools pay dividends to its state and bless the whole people whether patrons of Christian schools or not. The graduates of our denominational schools are already blessing this great s.ate in every walk of life.
 You, reader You who think more of making men and women than of hugging a dollar to your souls destruction and to the un- manning of your offspring, write me letter to visit you and let's talk the matter over. I know many who ought to give large things, others who should give something-God knows all about you.
 we are doing something for our colleges, but not enough. "

The educational contests of Faulkner county are worth much to our school interests. There is no reason, however, why these contests should not be arranged to develop proficiency in other lines besides elocution and map draw ing. The Log Cabin Democrat suggests that the teachers of the county provide contests in original productions such as orations, es- says, and debates, and in spelling, mental arithmetic, etc. The de tails of these contests could be so arranged that they could be con- cluded in three or four hours, say two in the forenoon and two in the afternoon. In this way interest in educational matters would be great ly widened and research into i'm portant lines of study developed and strengthened.

FOR GOVERNOR GEORGE w. DONAGHEY OF FAULKNER COUNTY
NO EXTRA SESSION.

The wisest thing that Acting Governor Pindall has done, or rather the thing that he has been wisest in failing to do, is his refus- al to listen to the clamor of certain interested individuals and call an extra session of the general assem- bly,.
 Ever since the attorney general rendered his opinion declaring that no funds were available for the state capitol, the Little Rock papers had been raising great hue and cry about the pension and school funds, claiming that the opinion linferentially tied them up also. In the midst of the dull season, with gaping columns to be filled, the copy-writers allowed their imaginations to run riot in picturing the distress of the dis abled ex-Confederates who would be bereft of their annual pensions and the innocent little children who must needs grow up in igno- rance-unless the governor came to the rescue with a call for a special session of the legislature.
 Governor Pindall, however, is sued on last Thursday very firm, clear and concise letter, refusing to call the legislature in special ses- sion and giving his reasons there for. He says the opinion on the state capitol fund has created a condition making it incumbent upon the state capitol commission to assume the initiative in regulat- ing this matter, and until they have exhausted all of the means reasonably within their power to remove the impeachment to their progress it is premature for this of- flee to take action."
 Concerning the school and pen sion funds he says that "there will not be and there need not be any serious trouble about this matter. " He refers to the fact that it has been the universal custom to dis tributs these funds without a spe- cifc appropriation and sees no req son why this should be done this year. He also says that there is distinction between mandatory and directory provisions of the law and that 1t is rule universally reCog nized that constitutional provisions are directory as applied to the ex- ecutive department. He concludes by saying that there is no penalty attached to a noncompliance to these provisions of the Constitu- tion, and that if there were such penalties, in this case he should not hesitate to remit them.
 And so the tempest in the teapot has subsided, the school and pen sion funds will be disbursed as us- nal and the Little Rock papers must look for some other excuse to get the legislature together again.

The Little Rock papers, which were so excitedly telling their read CTS few days ago that an extra session of the legislature would be absolutely necessary in order that the pension and school funds might be disbursed, are now commenting Governor Pindall for refusing to call if.

avenue. last night. the occasion being "a
lecture by Or. ". T. Harris, formerly
United Sites Commissioner Of Education,
on What Dante Has Done for Otner
Nations"
The lecture was attended by many pc0-
pie Of social prominence, who were vel
coined to the Embassy by Baron des
Planches and the officers OF the Dante
Society; the secretary. Mr.. H. p. Giavina;
the vice secretary J. Luigi Lamanna;

/ Bride Sterrett. \ large membership Of
the society was also present.
In introducing DR. w. T. Harris to the
audience, the secretary, Mr.. II, Pier
/ Giavina. spoke feelingly of Dante as
not only 1he great national poet of Italy.
/ but the poet Of the world.
/ The lecture Of Or. Harris was an eX-
position Of the inner meaning OF the
poetry Of Dante and a vivid dissection Of
the psychology Of the "Divina Com
media" He indicated that mp TO Dante's
/ time the poet of the world had been
/ Homer. but that Dante set the pace for
the modern world to follow. He showed
/ how both in England and in America the
! thoughts of Dante had Influenced litera-
ture and in our own country, particularly,
/ he instanced the effect of Daute's con-
! ception of the Inferno upon such writer's
as Hawthorne; i'm England. upon George
| Eliot IN all of her novels. but paTticu-
/ larry in "Savanarola." OF Hawthorne 5
work he thought that The Marble
/ Faun" showed the Italian poets influence
most.
The lecture was scholarly, painstaking,
and evidently the result of close and
ardent study. 1t was listened to with the
greatest attention and at its close the
lecturer was warmly applauded.
