The Bentonville Democrat, in commenting on the bill introduce ed i'll the legislature to move the University to Little Rock, com plains that the Swamp Demo- crat" m the legislature are in- clined 10 run rough-shod over the members from the hill counties. and that 1t K almost impossible for any one from the latter sec tion of the state to secure any of the officers, even down to page. There Is no doubt but what the members from tile lowlauds wield more influence than those from the northern section of tile state, but one reason for that iS be- cause the people oi those sections send their strongest men to the legislature to represent them, whereas in other portions of the state the idea seems to prevail that any sort of material will do to send to the legislature. The News has for a long time con- tended that the very best men in the county should De sent to the legislature. Although it is a thankless job, and 1t is not often found that really capable men care to accept the place and sub init themselves to the, often un- just, criticism that is always heaped upon member of the legislature, still for the good of the state and the people such men ought to be willing to sacri- flee something. As for the statement that the Swamp Dem- ocrats" always gets the offices, the Democrat Is mistaken. In the session of 1901 Washington County had the unusual honor of furnishing both the presiding officers, K J Wilson being elect ed president of the Senate and T. H. Humphreys speaker of the House.

l. Is it right or is it wrong for a

a failure to know its lessonsi
2. Is it proper or improper to
require child TO stand upon the
floor as a means of punishment for
imperfect lessons or for any other
eausei
