Editor Record We received
the Record today. | have taken
the Record ever since | can re-
member, or at least have read 1t,
and have taken it ever since you
have been its editor and have
never get found you on the
wrong side of question, but to-
day | ran across a statement IN
your editorial column which
states that the State University
is maintained principally for the
benefit of Fayetteville and Wash
ington county. Have you ever
taken the trouble to investigate
the matter:
Back in the early seventies
when this part of Arkansas was
practically devastated by the con-
ilicting forces which had been at
war in the sixties on her hills and
valleys, the question of locating
a State University was put to the
entire state and every county
was allowed TO vote on it and
make bids. | call your attention
to the action Of only two counties
because they are the two before
the limelight at present Pulas-
ki county voted against making
any bid or appropriation for the
University six to one. Washing
ton county voted overwhelmingly
to make bid and the county
paid 100000 and Fayetteville
$4,000 Only Monticello, Bates
vile and few other towns made
any bid at all. The matter was
then put into the hands of a
Board of Trustees who after con-
sidering the bids and locations,
unanimously placed it at Fay.
sttetine ahG signed contract
\ which says "shall thereafter be
\ irrevocable by the state"
n This county and city fulfilled
N Nevery demand made by the state
at time when the population Of
n This city was less than 1000 and
when everybody was strained TO
\ the utmost, apparently, to re-
cover from the effects Of the war.
They have fulfilled every letter
Of the contract and paid in inter-
est and principal, SAP, 200.
There is no argument ior Little
Rock or any other part of Ar
Kansas to put up for the removal
pf the University because to do
20 they are obliged to eliminate
the honor and faith of the state.
The sacred honor of the state is
pledged to Fayetteville and
Washington county and nothing
put the veriest dishonor will at
Pach 10 those who break it.

! from the city OF Little ROCK ln-
asmuch as Little Rock is ten
times greater, and would any
other section of Arkansas, other
than Little Rock, be benefited
more than if it were at Fayette-
vile? Not bit. Other things
considered, the burden of taxa
ton would be just as heavy on
the mass of the people Of the
state of Arkansas were the Uni
versity located anywhere else in
the state.
If the city Of Little Rock was
not long headed enough to see
this in the early seventies, they
ought not to howl now. Little
Rock has every other state insti-
tuition of Importance, Except the
Normal schools) and she offered
no bonus for any of them. She
has waXed fat, pompous and ar
rogant from the spoils of every
Legislature since Arkansas has
been a state for which she has
paid nothing. Does she not levy
tribute on every nook and COR
ner of Arkansas? What dc they
get in return?
What would Little Rock say to
a proposition to move the State
Capitol? Hot Springs would
give a million dollars for it;
Batesvile, Pine Bluff, Camden
would erect buildings for the
Blind School, the Deaf Mute In
stitute and other eleemosynary
institutions and give them to the
state and the state could sell the
high priced land upon which
these buildings stand in Little
Rock and net herself a nice sum,
and yet three or four of the large
real estate dealers in Little Rock
would seek to place the highest
.asti.ut.on in the atato GA piece
Of land which they are boosting
near Little Rock.
You may say they could notdo
this, that it would be left to a
Board Of Trustees to locate it.
The Board of Trustees would be
as powerless in such a bunch as
is the Arkansas Legislature.
Every thinking man knows that
Little Rock largely shapes the
legislation Of Arkansas, and she
has become 80 grasping and
rapacious that she seeks to VIC.
late the honor of our own state to
crafty her greed,
Any man will take the trouble
to weigh the facts can come to
but one conclusion, that the at
tack on the University was insti-
gated by the various politicians
with no other aim than to drag it
into politics and make it an issue
that they might grow fat on tho
spoils and by real estate boosters
who have lots for sale.
As to the difference In railroad
fare to reach Fayetteville from
other sections Of the state, the
difference in cost would be but a
trifle compared with the differ
enee it would cost the student to
live in Little Rock and Fayette-

GRAY HAIRS BANIsHED.

The old idea of using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers used TO
have dark, glossy hair at the age OF
Iseyenty-hye, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used TO make a sage
tea" and apply 1t to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy
and gradually restored the natural
color One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble OF max
ling It, especially as 1t had to be made
every two or three days on account
OF 1t sourlng quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking al
most any first-cless druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur the public
can get a superior preparation OF
sage, with the admixture of sulphur,
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles. Daily use OF this
preparation will not only quickly re-
store the color of the hair but Will
also stop the hair from falling out
and make 1t grow. 1t Is sold by all
druggists for soc. and $500 a bottle,

She Told story and Husband Tries 10
Kill Himself.

Atlanta. Ga, Oct. by paying
his young wife $4,000 in cash and
entering into a contract with her to
be good in the future. f. b. Cowan,
wealthy Atlanta business man, in
duced Mrs. Cowan to withdraw her
suit for divorce and resume marital
relations with him. Cowan entered
into contract to be good several days
ago. Today he learned that Mrs.
Cowan had told the story and that
she said he would not be good and
she would have TO leave him In
spite OF the payment Of 100000 to
her. when Cowan learned that his
wife was telling the story OF the con-
tract he felt greatly Inundated and
bought poison and tried to kill him
|self. The poison was snatched from
Cowan as he had II at his lips.
Cowan was married only seven
months ago 10 beautiful girl. Mrs
Cowan In her suit for divorce charged
her husband with cruelty. One ale
CATION was that Cowan favored race
suicide and objected to her becoming
mother. Mrs Cowan alleges she
wanted child. but that her husband
told her she should never have one.
II Is understood that in the contract
which Cowan signed to get his wife
to return to him he agreed never
again to advocate race suicide.
Cowan is being guarded TO prevent
another effort at self-destruction. He
IS worth over 100000.

Precipitation the Paducah Athletic
clubs football team held the Marion.
H., eleven to g tie yesterday after
noon at League park. Neither team
was able to force a man across the
line, and when time was called the
score was 20 0. Owing to the
warmth of the weather both teams
worked slow, as a slight run ex-
hausted the players so they could not
fight hard.
The weather man was the person
to blame for any fault found with
the game, as he served ideal baseball
weather, but for the player of MOLE
skin It was entirely too hot Fun
bling is responsible for the Paducah
boys not gaining the game, as sew
eral times the team worked the pig
skin within striking distance of the
goal, only to lose 1t on a tumble.
Most of the game was played in
Marion's territory, and balancing both
teams the p. A. c. team outclassel
the visitors. However, the Illinois
boys always stiffened when the Padu-
cab chaps scented goal.
Several hundred people were out,
as it inaugurated Sunday football in
Paducah. Davis for Marion kicked
of to Caliins, who returned the ball
a few yards. By line rushes the Pa
ducah boys carried the ball down the
field, but Marion stiffened and held.
In a rush the ball was fumbled by
Marion and Groves electrified the
crowd with a run of about 60 yards.
Wilson for Marion surprised the
crowd, too, as he ran from across the
field and tackled Groves In 20 yards

cash an inch long in his tongue, and
injury untitled him for play, but he
gamely stuck with his team and gen.
eraled the players.
Paducah rushed the line, and then
fooled Marion completely with a fake
place kick, which was used as a for
ward pass to Reeder. Reeder had a
clean dash of IL yards for goal, but
he muffed the beautiful pass from
Groves and Marion recovered the
ball. 1t was play that should have
resulted in a touchdown, and the fall
ure seemed to take the ginger out of
the Paducah lads. Marion punted out
of danger, and recovered the ball,
but in the next play Reeder got the
ball on tumble. Bower went
through the line for eight yards while
Jones followed with FIVE yards, and
Paducah was within scoring distance
on a beautiful crisscross play turned
in to a successful forward pass to
Groves. However, the advance was
stopped by a tumble a minute later
and Marion got the ball. 3oatwright
was knocked out. The half ended
with Marion in possession of the ball
on her 20 yard line.
After a rest the players recovered
their breath, but the hot weather
told on them. Paducah kicked of,
but Marion was pushed back and an
end run was called back because OF
offside. With 81 yards to gain,
Marion punted to Groves. Paducah
fumbled the ball an instant later,
but Reeder fell on the ball. On an
onside kick Paducah failed to make
the ten yards and lost the ball.
Marion was held until forced TO punt
ana long forward pass to Reeder
was called back with a penalty. Pa
ducah punted, recovered the ball and
held Marion. 1t looked like the lads
had braced and would win but lost
the ball. Marion signaled for a punt
but the ball rolled away and Padu-
cab recovered it. In the plays Groves
and Bower did splendid tackling
breaking interference and mailing the
runner.
Next Marion failed on a forward
pass and as the goal was in danger
punted to Groves, who was knocked
out. Cries were loud for Paducah to
make a touchdown, and Jones by
sheer force went through Marion
line for ten yards, while Bower re-
'sponded gith a gain through the line
but was injured ana forced to retire
Jeffries taking his place. The next
two minutes OF play resulted in a
bunting duel, as neither team had
time to make a score, and the game
ended with the ball in possession OF
Marion on her 20 yard line.
The Paducah Athletic club has q
shiftier team than last year, but yes.
terday 1t was unfair TO Judge the
team as had the weather been right
the team would have won from
Marion. Marion had a heavy line
with backs, and played good ball.
