Elsewhere in the Weekly will be
found the appeal of s. Billups for
aid to build a theological normal
school for colored people in this city.

efforts. The Weekly believes that
Sam and his school deserve both.

not return unto him void.

We, the undersigned citizens and

Arkansas, realizing that the work of
our county officials has increased ma
terially since the present law was en-
acted, fixing their fees and salaries,
by reason of subsequent legislation
and increase of business interests and
population in our county, believe that
some of said officials should have adj

in order to aid them in giving the pub
lie the most economic and efficient SER
vices possible as public servants The
cost of living has greatly inerea sed
since the present system was enacted
by the legislature and clerical men are
compelled to have more for their SER
vices We believe that the records Of
tue Offices will show an increase in the
volume of business transacted and the
increase of responsibility, also the fees
by them collected. We think it moth
ing but right and Just for them To re-

collected and for which the law re-

Better Moral Conditions.

D u = D
Mayor Moore Is TO be highly COM
meuded for the stand he has taken
in favor OF better social conditions
In the streets II has been an open
shame thai the streets have been
oyerrun by. women of questionable
character. Understanding of these
women and men on the street cor
ners, has been notorious even to
the point of detestation, and even
Tear on the part Of decent people.
There never has been any excuse
for that condition OF affairs and the
improvement already made under
the new administration Is noted with
much pleasure by all persons. who
desire to have a moral community.
Those who have been punished
and who have been notified to leave
the city may believe they have re-
ceiyed harsh treatment, but they
should remember that their own
conduct is a menace to other people,
and they have no one TO blame save
themselves for the prosecution given
Them.
There are men in the same class
and they too win doubtless receive
the same kind of attention from
the administration.

!. AS advertised there is movement
on foot to submit to the residents OF
Broad Oaks and Alta Vista, two lead
ing suburbs of the city. the question
.,of Incorporating them and creating
town government. This agitation
, has been up before and, If the Tel
egram remembers correctly, Ii was
voted on and defeated by small
margin. Whether there has been
any great change of sentiment there
since remains to be seen at the polls
II such an election is agreed upon.
The question will be opposed by
a number, who have not yet been
able to see any benefit in govern
ment and the advantage OF incorpo-
ration. But, on the other hand
there are many enthusiasts for in
corporation. II sentiment be d.
vided among those active on either
side, the fate OF the movement will
he determined by the luke-warm
residents.
Both these suburbs are building
up rapidly and they have a great
future. They are properly part Of
Clarksburg. though not officially. 1t
would seem strange to strangers
that such spledid section should
not be part of the city proper.
There is no possible ground to
deny that Incorporation would
be henticial to these suburbs. though
there may be some complaint about
taxation. Incorporation should
mean water, light and police SER
vice. All These may prove some
what expensive in an independent
corporation but the expenditure will
he justified. If the service rendered
IS of good character. AS a part OF
clarksburg taxation might not be so
high and public service ought to be
better.
However. the question has not
been studied very closely by the Tel
egram. Those most interested are
doubtless better Yersed on ythe. sub
1ect pro and con. and thoughts here
presented are merely general sug.
gestions.'
