RETURNS NOW SHOW
 SUMTER ELECTED
Election Commission of Garland County Throw z Out Vote of Four Townships and Wipe
 Out Greaves' Majority.

Little Rock, Sept. 2S. Judge Q. Il. Sumpter of Hot Springs was elected senator from the thirty first senatorial district, composed of Montgomery ano Garland cuonties, at the election September A, by a majority oi IS votes over Charles D. Greaves, the Republican candidate, who was also supported by the Ire. form" element of Garland coun. ty according to the returns certified to Secretary of State o. C. Ludwig. The Garland county returns certified to the secretary of state yesterday show that the Board of Election Com missioners of Garland county refused to count the vote cast for senator iu four townships oi Garland county, which action re- suited in the reduction of Greaves' vote to such an extent that he received less votes than Sumpter, despite the fact that the com plete returns week ago, wheE counted, showed that he had a ajority of LOS votes in the dis trict.
 Menb bers of the Garland coun- ty Board of Election Commission CTS last night explained over long-distance telephone their action in throwing out the vote of four townships by stating that they had been presented with affidavits that showed ir- regularities of sufficient impor- tauce to cast out the entire vote.
 Only the vote for senator in the four townships was cast out. The commissioners stated that the affidavits received by them pertained only to the senatorial race in those townships and that for that reason they did not throw out the entire vote of the township.
 Reform" Element Indignant.
 The announcement of the ac- ton of the commissioners in throwing out the vote for senator in the four townships was not generally known in Hot Springs till last night when the news that the returns showing the election of Sumpter had been filed here was flashed back over the wires. Leaders of tue ''re- form" element, 1t is understood are very indignant at the action of the commissioners ia altering the returns of Garland county to such an extent that Sumpter, instead of Greaves, is elected.
 The race between the two candidates has attracted con- siderable attention throughout the campaign, and ever since the election, as the outcome was in doubt even for more than week after the election. Returns were slow in coming in and 1t was not until about week ago that it was definitely announced that Greaves had received a ma ajority of the votes cast and that he would lead Sumpter about 10S votes. The fact that Greaves, a Republican, was sup ported largely by the "reform" element of Democracy in Garland county attracted attention to the race and when it was learned that the Republicans had received the most votes the leaders of the reform element expressed great qualification.
 Greaves Will Mandamus.
 Greaves is in the city today and says he will immediately mandamus the election commis' sioners and compel them to cer- tify to the secretary of state that he was duly elected

ECONOMIC. NOT Personal.

In the name of partisan argument
much inane rot is being inflicted up
on the people just at present. But of
all the things that have been brought
forth fro mthe Book of Arguments, "
one of the rankest is the statement,
made with much gusto, that the lib
critics of the American people are
now fully and thoroughly protected.
Because the personal liberties of
men are not urtailed-because they
are allowed to pass from state to state
without passports-some orators and
newspapers believe that all is well.
But the problems now up pertain
to the economic rights of men and
not to their personal privileges.
Though of a different nature these
questions are just as grave and they
are far more intricate than those
which confront the American colo
nists before the revolution.
when you take my house you take
my life. for you take the prop where
by live" said Shylock and he gave
utterance to an economic truth.
Plutocracy does not care regarding
the lesser rights of the humble Amer
ican citizen. 1t is willing TO allow
him to breathe, to travel about and
to vote, so long as he does not inves-
tigate too much before he casts his
ballot.
As long as the trusts control con-
gress and through doing so know tnat
their grip upon the economic affairs
of the country will not be shaken they
do not worry about lesser matters.
They prefer to show great outward
Difference for the rights of the people
and 10 pose as mssk and abused crea-
lures rather than as robber barons.

JAPAN'S SYSTEM.

An insight into Japan's remarkable
success in war may be had from the
following statement recently made by
Russian general who visited the Mi
kado's empire:
I'm their military school, where
saw a Spartan system of education,
the exercises of the cadets with pixies,
rifles and broadswords were not ap-
preached by anything of the kind that
had witnessed in Europe-it was
fighting of the flercest character"
says he. AT the end of the strug-
gle there was a hand-to-hand combat,
which lasted until the victors stood
triumphant over the bodies of the
vanquished and tore off their masks.
In these exercises. which were very
severe, the cadets struck one another
fiercely and with wild cries; but the
moment a prearranged signal was
SVEN, or the fight came to an end,
the combatants drew themselves up
in a line and their faces assumed an
expression of wooden composure.
I'm all the public schools promi-
nence was given to military exercises,
and the scholars took part in them
with enthusiasm. Even in their walks
they practiced running, thanking and
sudden, unexpected attacks of one
party on another The history of
Japan was everywhere made a means
of strengthening the pupils patriot
ism and their belief in Japan's invn-
cibility. Particular stress was laid
upon the country's successful wars,
the heroes of them We're extolled, and
the children were taught that none of
Japan's military enterprises had ever
failed"

BASIS OF THE SMILE.

It is now announced that an eastern
business college will offer instruction
in smiling The principal object Of
the course will be to better fit young
men and women for work in depart
ment stores.
The idea Of course in smiles is
certainly novel and it may prove a
good thing. 1t cannot be doubted
but that the man with the smile is a
better salesman than he with the
groucay look
Put If the New York college expects
to produce the genuine article in the
line of smiling it will need very ex-
tcnsive equipment Furthermore, the
course may require more time than
Is needed to teach gentle fingers the
art Of stenography.
A smile is not a matter Of the face
alone. The real article is produced
only when body, mind and spirit are
in perfect tune. It will be difficult
10 adjust these through a six weeks
course in a commercial school,
The only smile that's worth while
is that from the man who really feels
good and likes his fellow creatures.
The smile that comes from the face
only is a fake that is easily detected.
Dogs and babies readily distinguish
between it and the genuine article.
Unless this business college has some
thing better than the artificial varle-
T. to offer It had better leave the sub
feet alone

She takes here face o mornings
An steams it DER a pot,
Then she rubs some dope stuff in 1t
While it's red and sizzlln' hot.
Then she lays some hot cloths on it
Fer to drive it further in,
Then she plasters it and rubs it
Fer to beautify her skin.
Then she's got rubber dingus
Thet she fastens ter tn door.
Then she grabs and bends down back
ards
Till her heads most on the floor
Then she doubles over forward
Till she almost busts in half.
Then she spanks US children awful
Cause we can't hold in our laugh.
She has bought a Jar of ointment,
An the label on ii said
II would kill hair on her features,
But would grow ii on her head;
An the shelves are full of sKin-food,
And o. ointments an o. creams.
And she dopes her face O. daytimes
An she masks it while she dreams.
She has got some stuff in bottles

THE GIRL WHO SMILES.

The wind was east and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed
dreary,
For nobody smiled, and nobody joked,
The young folks grumbled the old
folks croaked;
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door and girl came
in;
Oh, she was homely-very.
Her nose was pug. and her cheek was
thin
There wasn't a dimple from brow to
But her smile was bright and
CHEEKY.
She spoke not word of the cold or
damp
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted
the lamp.
| And Sne put on tne place Inherent
stamp
From that 1t had without her
They forgot that the house was dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom departed from every face
As they felt the charm Of her mirth-
full grace
And the cheer Of her happy laugh
ter.
Oh, give me the girl who will smile
and sing,
And make all glad 'together
To be plain or fair is lesser thing,
But a kind. unself sh heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

New York which l have seen, and
consequently girls don't prepare
themselves or cultivate their capa-
billties," Miss Barrymore is quoted.
They have enough for what is de-
manded Of them and they don't at
tempt anything more difficult. II
you can join gracefully in the inani-
ties Of an ordinary dinner table, youll
pass muster, but II you should hap
pen to touch on anything that the
real men of our country are doing,
you would be Stunned as Il frightful
bore.
THE women Of wealth are merely
selfish and piggish and are utterly
content with comfortable living quar-
tcrs, a good dinner, a little polo or
fridge or a rapid automobile or two.
They are empty shells and perfectly
meaningless and useless to the coun-
try.
IF a plague were to wipe out the
entire society element of New York,
the city would be none the worse for
1t nor would they be missed. They
accomplish nothing and give nothing
to the world"
This criticism is doubtless intended
for the people of Gotham's. upper So
cial circles-the set where they have
monkey dinners and billlon-dOllar
divorce suits. But these people have
never stood high in good society.

LOVES LOGIC.

Because your eyes look into mine
And read my heart and understand
Withholding nothing, dear, they are
The falrest in all the land.
Because your lips, budding rose
With half It's glorles still unfurled,
Surrendered to my kiss, I count
Those lips the sweetest in the

Because your heart still beats with
mine
Up all the thOrny way go,
Beneath the sun no other heart
Holds any secret would know.
