WILL FIGHT FOR
 PROHIBITION
Reverend c. C. Cline, the Gifted Pas tor of the First Christian Church,
 Makes Interesting Statement.

The Graphic spoke authoritativelv yesterday when it stated that there was a movmeent on foot here to bring about prohibition in this county next year. It secured the information from an authoritative source and assures all that the article was not published for political effect.
 In discussing the matter this morn ing, Reverend C. c. Cline, pastor of
 the First Christian church, stated that there would be a fight for pro- hibition next year in this county. He said that while there had been no re- cent meeting of the Ministers Asso- cation, of which he is member, that the fight for prohibition was always live one with the ministers who favored the strict observance of the Sabbath day. 'I for one,' said Rever- end Cline, lam always ready to fight for prohibition and there is likely to be a determined prohibition fight here at any time, maybe sooner than next year"

is absurd. Nixon's strength is solely ill Lincoln, although he will receive a good vote ill Jefferson, say reports. Nixons friends declare that his chances are good. There are others who are betting that he will be third man in the race. Still others are bet ting Jones to run third and some are inclined to think that Young will be the third man, but this is believed to be political talk.
 The count of the ballots will end the discussions Friday night. Then there will be no doubt about the out come. The election promises to be carried out orderly and the voting will be held a- the usual places throughout this city and variou. counties.

HON. w. T. YOUNG
 ISSUES A CARD
Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. P, 1907.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. 222, 1907. To the Public:
 The Morning News. ill its issue Of the 20th inst.. pretends to make pO- litical forecast in the contest for pros. ecuting attorney, and pleases to place my name last in the race.
 II am not surprised at this, as this statement is in line with the argu- ments used all over the district by Judge Jones, in whose behalf the arti, cle was written. The purpose of this article was to boost the candidacy of Judge Jones. and, at the same time. to discourage my candidacy, by reflect. ing on my political strength.
 It is little strange that the News should mention my name, if I am not to be considered in the race, and it would not have done so, had it not thought it necessary to reflect upon the Judges strongest opponent. Both Judge Jones and MT. Nixon have had much to say relative to my political strength. In fact, this has been the keynote of their campaign. Were I not strung politically, my name would not have been mentioned in this con. necti0n.
 No one who is familiar with the facts will deny that I am strong in each of the three counties of the dis. trict. It is also conceded hat Judge Jones is weak in Lincoln, and Mir. Nixon is weak in Desha.
 All ask is that my friends remain loyal, and pay no attention to rumors or reports that may be circulated prior to the closing of the polls on the 23rd. I have tried to see every one, but this is impossible, but hope that all who feel kindly toward me will go to the polls and cast their votes ac. cordingly, for which I shall be very thankful.

ANOTHER SCHOOL
 FOR EAST END Absence of the Required Vi aduct Over Railroad Tracks Makes It Neces- sary for Small Pupils.
SCHOOLS OPEN SEPT. 16
Building Has Been Rented at Idaho and East Barra4ue Streets to Ac. commodate Pupils in Three Lowest Grades at First Ward School.

At the meeting of the Pine Bluff School Board yesterday afternoon, a new school, which as yet has not been named, was established at the corner of East Barraque and Idaho streets. This school will be north of the shops, and will have an attendance of at least 100 pupils. Only classes from the first to the third grades, inclusive, will be admitted at the new school fo: the next year at least but possibly after that time the School Board will make other arrangements. The ab- sence of the viaduct over the rail- road tracks there makes the new school a necessity.
 The principal reason for the es- tablishment if this school is due to the fact that the children living in this part of the city are obliged to cross the Cotton Belt yards to get 10 the First Ward school, which they at- tended last year. This is especially dangerous for the small children. the School Board decided, and for this reason they considered the establish ment of a school for the small chill dren necessary in that part of the city.
 This school will have two teachers, who have not yet been selected, and it will open on September 16, when the other public schools of this city open for the years work. This school increases the number of schools in this city to nine, six of which are for white children. So when the new High School is completed, the num- Der will run up to ten.
 The condition at the First Ward school has been crowded for the past year, and this was another incentive which prompted the School Board to establish the new school. The build ing in which the school is to be held is a frame one, and has been rented by the School Board for the next year. There will be plenty of room to &C., commodate all pupils in the first three grades, and the school will doubtless be a great addition to the efficiency of the present school system, which is recognized to be the best in the state

 ELECTION DAY All the Candidates Claiming Election-Young Will Garry Jefferson and Lin coin Say Supporters.
WHAT OTHERS CLAIM
Jones May Carry Desha by Small Ma. jority-Nixon's Strength Said to Be Divided With Young in Lin. cOln-All Kinds of Predictions.

/ What has been one of the most in- teresting and hotly contested con- tests for prosecuting attorney in this. the Eleventh Judicial District, will come to a close tonight and on to- morrow the battle of ballots will be waged from a. m. to D. m. in Jef- ferson, Lincoln and Desha counties. X By midnight Friday the figures will have told the story as to
 who~W will be the states attorney in this district for the ensuing two years. w. T. Young, w. D. Jones, the present incumbent, and T. Havis Nixon are the aspirants for the honor For many weeks the candidates have been fighting it out among them
 selves all over the district. There
 have been many speeches made and in them were injected many personali-
 ties, charges and counter charges.
 Many of them have been proven, oth-
 CTS disproven and still others dropped
 like hot coals from human hand. The speech making has included Appointments at almost every voting 6place in the district. It started in
 Jefferson county at the court house
 in this city and became warmer and
 warmer as the contest passed on.
 There have been many private dis
 cussions and predictions on the street } corners, but in the majority of minds
 there seems to be a doubt as to who
 will be the lucky man.
 The followers of w. T. Young
 throughout the district claim his elec-
 tion by safe majority. They claim
 that this county will come forth with
 a majority of nearly three hundred
 for their champion and that his ma
 jority in Lincoln will aNost equal
 that amount. In Desha, they say, he
 will break even with the other two
 candidates. His lead in the other two
 counties will be too large to overcome.
 his supporters say. It is we'll known fact that Young has an organization that does things. They have worked like trojans the past week especially and at late hour this afternoon it was stated at Young headquarters that everything that they wanted has been accomplished and that they are not in the least worried about the ! outcome.
 At Jones headquarters, it is said, there is no uneasiness felt. His sup porters are claiming the three coun- K ties, but late information from Lin coin is said to have somewhat upset their figures. In that county, 1t is N reliably stated, Young and Nixon are &liberally favored. Jones' strength It 3 is reported is largely in Desha. Young and Nixon also claim a big < vote In that county, but some concede that the county will give Jones small majority over the two other < candidates
 A Jones' majority however, the wise political heads say, will be so small E that it will not be sufficient to carry him through the balloting in the other two counties.
 Nixon's friends are also claiming
 his election by safe majority. They
 even go so far as to say that he will &carry Jefferson, but the Jones and
 Young supporters say that this claim

ADVISE SHOOTING THOMPSON
Seattle Times Prints Remarkable
Editorial DenCuncing Murderer
of Judge Emory.

TACOMA, Feb. 1.-THE Seattle
Times today has remarkable dou-
ble-leaded editorial on the Thomp-
son case in which the Thompson
family and the Pierce county jury
are bitterly denounced. Following
are excerpts:
1T was because Will H. Thompson
has been permitted to live in this
community until the present time
with a reputation of being half law
yer and half poet that gained him
2 hearing in behalf of his wicked
offspring in the first place.
1t WAS the ingenuity of criminal
mind that had the case removed to
Tacoma in the second place.
is it any wonder thai orderly
and law abiding citizens are COM
PEELED to feel that the only safety
in King county today against the
hand of the murder is the hand of
the vigilante?"
''Maudlin sentiment before a
maudlin jury of Pierce county may
free a murderer from his crime so
far as the law may be concerned,
but as surely as there be a God who
presides over the destinies of human
kind, if this murderer Chester
Thompson be brought back and let
loose in Seattle within the near flu
ture, any person will be justified in
shooting him like a mad dog

Every newspaper wants to publish
the local news. The better the paper
the more prosperous it will be. Local
news items are especially hard to run
down sometimes. How many times
have you met newspaper man hunt
ing for items and told him you knew
nothing of interest, when probably your
family was away on a visit or some out
of-town friend was visiting at your
home? OF course you did not mean
to deceive him, yet when you received
your paper you wondered why your
family or friends were not mentioned
A good way to avoid all Of this is to
inform US OF the fact or drop a note in
the postoffice to the paper. The one
item may not amount to much, but
several columns Of such news is the
life Of local paper, don't you know?

Human came and went over the land,
and from there he went to H. B.
Smiths, but what conclusion he came
to is more than l ever learned; but the
bridge was not built. In March of this
year l repeated the offer to the present
board, but received no direct reply.
F. A. Reynolds attended the April
meeting and by him / was informed
that Commissioner Otis would come
and look over the place. Instead OF
coming he wrote Mr.. Reynolds some
time after that for various reasons he
could not come. Later, Messrs. San
ders and Navarro came and went direct
to Mr.. Smiths, and from there crossed
Mason creek to look over the road to
Mason siding, but never came to look
the bridge site over.
Now, gentlemen, as I stated, we are
compelled to cross Mason creek. On
the 18th of this month hard working,
industrious young man, Nelson For
sythe, after doing some work for a
neighbor, in crossing the stream to go
to his home, lost pair of horses that a
year ago cost him $375, and came very
near being drowned himself. Now the
county commissioner, who should at
tend to the business of this district,
will tell the people for various reasons
he can not attend to his duty. If a
man accepts an Office he should not
allow influence or intimidation to inter
fere with his duty. If he does he is
only fgurehead and is not worthy Of
the confidence reposed in him.
In conclusion, l will say if there is
no law to punish county or state
official for a willful neglect Of his duty,
I hope the next Legislature will enact
such a law. J. H. McEvoy.

Editor Echo:
Gentlemen and fellowcitizens of
Chelan County, wish to call your at
tention to the way we who are living in
the western part of the county are
treated by the Commissioners Court in
regard to our roads and bridges. In
my locality, between Mason siding and
Merritt, there are nine families, and we
all have to depend on each other to
get on, and to that end we help each
other. F. A. Reynolds lives at the
farthest point east and H. B. Smith the
farthest point west-about three miles
apart. We frequently have to use each
others teams; indeed, some of us have
no teams at all, but have to depend on
the other fellows. 1t is simply impossi-
BILE for us to avoid crossing Mason
creek. For about three months out Of
twelve we can ford it without mourning
any risk, but for the other nine months
it is very dangerous. For seven years
