JUDGE GOULD IS
 4 STAND PATTtR
Will Not Even Hear a Petition for a DramshOp Outside of Pine Bluff Much Less Issue One.

County Judge James Gould. who re- turned yesterday from business trip to Ashdown, Arkansas, made the em- phatic statement that he would re- sign the office of county and probate Judge of Jefferson county, to which he was recently reelected for third term, rather than issue any dramshoD licenses in the country precincts, out side of Pine Bluff He will continue to refuse licenses for country saloons as long as he is county judge, he says, and he made this same state ment while making his recent cam- paign. He will approve all applica- tions for licenses, for the establish ment of saloons in this city, where there is ample police protection, but the applicants must sign an agree ment that they will not permit ganl- bling of any kind on their premises or violate the Sunday laws in any way. If they violate the agreements Judge Gould has positively informed them that he would revoke the licen- ses of those adjudged guilty. The statement made by Judge Gould that he would not issue licenses in the rural districts, was occasioned when he was informed of a rumor that some applications, would probably be made for saloons outside of Pine Bluff For the past two years there have been no saloons in the outlying districts in this county and Judge Gould will not hear a petition for one in any section of the county, other than Pine Bluff. It is expected that about twenty local saloon keepers will make application for new licen- ses on January l.

WHAT ROCKEFELLER SAYS
ABOUT MORGAN AND PANIC

In the Worlds Work for April. Mr..
Rockefeller speaks of the panic of
1907, and pays the following tribute
to Mr. Morgan:
Since 1857 can remember all the
great panics, but | believe the panic
of 1907 was the most trying. No one
escaped from it, great or small. I'M
portant institutions had to be sup
ported and carried through the time
of distrust and unreasoning fear. To
Mr.. Morgau's real and effective help
should join with other business men
and give great praise. He acted
quickly and resolutely. where quick
ness and decision were the things
most needed to regain confidence.
and he was efficiently seconded by
many able and leading fnanelers OF
the country, who co-operated cour-
ageously and effectively to restore
confidence and prosperity. II Will no,
