AS EMMETT DOES

The little town of Emmett, up in POttawatomie county, Kas., has in- augurated system of immigration encouragement which is worthy of the emulation of municipalities everywhere. According to the Kan sas City Journal Emmett is only a year old. but from all accounts it is one of the most hustling little youngsters that ever grew up under the shadow of the sunflower. Emmett is not reaching out after 7 any of the new-fangled ways of runnings things. It isn't pining for initiative and referendum, for mu. nicipal ownership or woman suffage town officers.
 Instead of these allurements; EH melt gets right down to businee and advertises that it will give tc every couple under 25 years af age that marries and settles in Emmett between now and January 1, 1908. the following and sundry articles, inducementds, commodities of value etc., etc., to-wit:
 Years inscription to the Citi- zen and 100 printed envelopes, one pair of Turkish towels, one set of knives and forks, one set of spoons, one set cup and saucers, one set plates and platters, creamer, nap kins, one set glasses, pair napkin rings, salt and pepper shakers. sug- ar bowl, butter dish, spoon dish. soup dish, and a free telephone for a month";
 In due time this system will prob ably be supplemented with liberal arguments against race suicide. Prizes will probably be offered for twins, with a special bonus for the handsome pair, and a time and a half' for triplets. Baby buggies, or something else equally useful will undoubtedly be offered for single infants, since the married folks have already been provided for.
 But Emmett has made good start. It has gone after the right thing in the right way, and as this enterprise is attended with numer- ous progressive and up-to-date fea- lures in the way advertising the towns resources. The Commercial club is already in correspondence with a couple from New York city and it hopes to land the pair. thus starting off the movement for in creasing the present and prospective reputation of the city.

Our esteemed afternoon contempo- rary in lengthy and incongruous editorial yesterday, discussing the law
 for legalized primaries, says: If there is a section, paragraph, or a line in the law which says there shall be an open election, or if it refers to FAIR COUNT, then we have failed to observe it. The editor of the Commercial evidently failed to observe section 2S95 of the statutes, which says, Any judge or clerk serving at such primary election who shall in any manner falsify the returns of the same, or knowingly make a false count of the ballots cast, or aid or abet such act of another person, or knowingly permit such to be done by others, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not less than fifty dollars nor more than two hundred dollars and imprisoned in the county jail not less than thirty days From the foregoing it is evi- dent that the Commercial editor failed to read the primary election law very carefully. Perhaps it is this section of the law that some of the opponents of legalized primary are afraid of

LUCAS SEEKS TO
 ASSUME POSITION
Said to Have Attempted to Take Charge of the Blind School Tues day-Was at the Institution
 Yesterday.

When the Arkansas School for the Blind opened it's doors for another years work yesterday morning, Pro- lessor T. A. Futrall who was recently reinstated as superintendent by the State Board of Charities through the efforts of Acting Governor X. O.. Pin dall, was in charge, says today's Lit tie Rock Gazette. S. D. Lucas of Mag nolia, who was elected to the place of superintendent in July, was at the building, but according to statements made there, did not offer to take charge of the institution.
 According to the statement of Pro- lessor Futrall, however, Mir. Lucas did the previous day make an effort to assume the position to which he was elected. He is said to have de- manded that he be given control.
 Il refuse to do so I have been se lected to fill the position by ma jority of the State Board of Charities Professor Futrall is said to have re- piled, and l propose to keep it.
 Mir. Lucas could not be located last night for a statement of his plans and intentions.
 Professor Futrall was last Monday continued in the office from which he had been busted at regular meeting of the State Board of Charity Con- misisoners about three months ago. Since that time two efforts to rescind the action were fruitless due to the attitude of T, J. Williamson, a member of the board. Williamson, however, moved to Texas in the meantime, and his withdrawal from the state enabled Governor Pindall to make a change which resulted in the reinstatement of Futrall. Monday the governor is-

of Melbourne to succeed MT. William son, and the new commissioner, to- gether with three others, met and ex .essed to Professor Futrall the de- sire that he remain at the head of the school, and assured him that he would be reelected at the next regular meet ing. Lucas was to have taken charge October 1.
 The Blind School opened yesterday morning with appropriate exercises and with an attendance of about 100. It is expected that this number will shortly be increased to 150 pupils, a gain over last year. Exercises, which were held in the chapel at 9 o'clock, were opened with an invocation by Rev R. w. Mckay of Winfield Memo rial church. Addresses were delivered by Col. w. c. Braley of Fayetteville, one of the trustees, and by Professor Futrall.

The esteemed Weekly Eagle in an editorial captioned "As to an Honest Primary says that if the last county primary was legalized pri- mary, the Democrats are weary of such farcical elections and will have no more of them" For the benefit of the editor of the Press-Eagle, as we'll as others, the Graphic will say that the last county primary was not le- galized primary. The Press-Eagle's criticisms of legalized primary therefore fall to the ground.
