A SUGGESTION.

Rev. J. J. Hurt agrees with The
Log Cabin Democrat that a char
ity organization is great need OF
Conway. The Log Cabin Demo
crat knows of no better man to
head the movement to form such
an organization than Mr.. Hurt.
In view of this fact, we desire to
offer this suggestion:
Let Mr.. Hurt take the matter up
with the other pastors of the city,
and let it be agreed upon by them
that the usual services, either
morning or evening, on some con-
venient Sunday be dispensed with
in order that a mass meeting or
union service may be held at one
of the churches for the purpose of
organizing local charity associa-
ton.
We do not believe there would
be any objection upon the part of
even the most devout to the trans
action of such business on the Sab
bath-in our opinion, the worship
of God could scarcely take on a
higher form than the providing of
intelligent and systematic means
of caring for our unfortunate fell
low. creatures who may be in dis
tress. Our reason for suggesting
such time and place is that bet
ter attendance could be secured
and it is eminently fitting that such
an organization should be formed
in a place dedicated to the highest
purposes of human life.

LAWN TENNIS IN AUSTRALIA.

Australia to-day possesses the best
lawn tennis players in the world.
Norman Brookes has beaten the pick
of England and there are a number
of players in Australia who can
make an excellent partnership with
Brookes in doubles any time. There
is practically no leisure class in Aus
tralia, and there are few men who,
enthusiastic in sport, can afford SIX
months vacation and the trip to
England and back to play in the in
ternational contests. That is why
a limited number of Australians
have been heard of in the annual
Journeys. But the English critics
to-day are admitting that the Aus
tralians play the most scientific game
and secure the best results all
round.-Recreation.

TAKING THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Consideration That Might Do Much
Toward lessening Friction OF
Workaday World.

GLOW interesting life would be If
we could appreciate more sympa-
thetically the work others do for us
in the making and marketing of the
articles of common USE, said A. H..
Flanders in the Republican house.
at appears to me that the general
public is not sympathetic enough IN
regard to the work that others do for
us in an indirect way. There are
many illustrations that can be used
to show this.
"Take sugar, for instance. When
we stir the sugar in our coffee it
might be pleasant occasionally to re-
fleet that this is the end for which
hundreds of people work.
with proper Imagination, we
might see them cutting the cane,
hauling it away on sledges, filling
great cars with it, putting it through
the various processes in the mills,
piling up in bags and barrels and
package crates ready to ship to ware
houses from which our grocer gets
his supply.
"Such thoughts now and then
would do much to lessen the friction
of the workaday world. If we
thought of the baker who makes it
possible for us to get bakery prod
ucts, maybe the conditions in some
bake shops could be improved
through public sentiment. Mill

opposition to the Gam bill. But
we have offered our objections in
the firm conviction that the pro-
posed law would do Unreasonable
injury to the cause of prohibition.
We favor prohibition, but we want
to be sure that we retain prohibi-
ton at home, before we undertake
to reform rest of the state. In
short, if we must make a choice,
we prefer to let the saloons re-
main in Little Rock rather than to
set up half dozen drug store sa-
looms in Conway.

GOOD WORK Of THE SUPREME COURT


The benefits of the occasional
infusion of new blood into an old
body has been strikingly demon
strated in the Arkansas supreme
court. Only few years ago this
court was from twelve to twenty
four months behind with its work
Unless a case was of unusual i'm
portance a decision conld not be
expected in less that a year from
the submission of the case and
often two years would elapse. 1t
was a condition gratifying perhaps
to railroads and corporations which
endeavor to wear out cases which
they cannot win, but extremely
detrimental to the interests of the
great majority of litigants.
With this state of affairs in the
court, Judge Joseph M. Hill made
the race for chief justice five years
ago and was elected upon his pro-
mise to clear the docket of the
court. Following his election his
associates apparently caught the
spirit of his purpose and within
two years his pledge was redeem
ed.
In making some changes in the
bench recently Governor Dona-
ghey has been peculiarly fortunate
in his selections, In view of its
tremendous Importance, it was
right that the great legal battle of
the state against the railroads
should be led by the lawyer at the
head of his profession in Arkan-
sas-the chief justice of the SUI
preme court. To fill this vacancy
perhaps the most active of the
associate justices was chosen as a
fit successor to Judge Hill. And
to take the place of Judge McCul-

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES.


In a recent editorial in his paper,
the Paragould Soliphone, Col. j.
r. Taylor says:
Governor Donaghey has exert
ed every power at his command to
fire the dishonest contractors of the
new state capitol. He has ex-
hausted every resource. both as
private citizen and as governor, to
rectify the plumbers already made.
1t is now up to the legislature. If
it refuses to obey the expressed
will of the people, if it persists in
turning deaf ear to reason and
common sense, if it cares so little
for the states interests that it is
willing to continue compact with
self-confessed boodlers who have
been practicing fraud on the peo-
pie, let it bear the whole burden of
the odious deal. The people of
Arkansas had reason to hope for
better things from this general as
sembly. They have spoken once
on this question. They will speak
again; and next time they will
call out men who have more re-
spect for their commands.
It should be explained, how
ever, that this editorial appeared
before the passage by the senate of
the Patterson bill, which conforms
to the recommendations urged by
Governor Donaghey in his inaugu-
raj address. 1t looks now as if the
legislature has gotten down to real
business, and we believe that the
long drawn-out state capitol con-
troversy will be satisfactorily SCI
tied within short time.

1t is a violation of the law to
sell, give away or in any manner
furnish any alcoholic or intoxicat-
ing liquor in Faulkner county.
Druggists are not permitted to sell
it, on the prescription of physi-
clan or otherwise. And this law
is rigidly enforced. Yet did any
one ever hear of a case where an
injury was done because of the in
ability to buy liquor for medicinal
purposes? Then why is it neces-
sary for a so-called statewide pro-
hibition bill to contain provisions
permitting the almost indiscrimin-
ate sale of intoxicants by drug
gists throughout the stateo

AVICTORY FOR HONESTY.

The Arkansas senate is to be
sincerely congratulated upon its
passage of the Patterson state cap
itol bill. 1t was not only victory
for the administration and a just
recognition of the voice of the
people, but it was big victory for
honesty and decency.
That the house will also pass
the bill there now seems little
doubt. A majority of the men,
bers of this body have already ex-
pressed their sentiments in passing
a resolution to discharge Architect
George R. Mann, without whose
assistance and cooperation the
contractors could never have per-
petrated such frauds upon the state
as they have in the erection of the
capitol.
After the enactment of the Pat
terson bill, an adequate appropria-
ton should be made for the COM
pletion of the capitol. In this
connection it should be remember
ed that the building will have to
be stripped of the inferior work
and almost rebuilt. 1t will cost
thousands of dollars-SI75, 900 is
the estimate given by Major Sewall
to tear out the dishonest work
work of Caldwell & Drake, replace
it with the grade of work specified
in the contract and bring the build
ing to its present stage of compile
ton. The capitol should then be
finished in a style commensurate
with the dignity of the state, and
no cheap or inferior finish should
be permitted to mar its beauty.

CHARITIES ORGANIZATION NEEDED.

A few days ago there came to
Conway from village in this coun-
ty poor widow with two small
children. Insuficiently clad and
exposed to the rough weather Oh
their way here, they each became
seriously i'll with pneumonia soon
after their arrival. They made
their way into an old shack in
this city, and here for nearly two
weeks they have lain, without
money to buy medicines or food
and without strength to wait upon
each other.
OF course the kind neighbors
have provided these wayfarers
with food and medical attention
and have cared for them as if they
were their own people. But the
incident suggests to us what we
believe is one of the real needs of
Conway, and that is charitable
organization. Our town has grown
SO large that works of charity can
no longer be properly administer
ed through individual effort, and
the burden has become too great

Few new points are brought out,
however, and as the agitation for

there is apparently little prospect

the Gam bill would set up in ev-
ery nook and corner of the state.

BIBLE PLACED

Burlington Railroad Adds Copies of
Holy Writ to its Libraries
Recently.

Tie Burlington railway as mis-
sionary of the gospel, may seem a
misnomer to many and yet when one
stops to think, the railroads of the
country have done much towards the
spread of religion and the success of
the churches.
In the days when new railroad
towns were laid out in great numbers,
there was always an effort made to
have at least one church organized in
the new town. and a building site, to-
gether with liberal donation 70

Then again the railroads. at least
until the new 2-cent fare went into
effect carried the ministers OF the Cos
pei at half fare and that was a great
factor in the building up of the
churches of the country.
Now, however, there comes an an
nouncement from headquarters of the
Burlington that should make every
minister of the church glad. and an
announcement that will give Billy Sun
day, the great baseball evangelist, a
new argument for some time to come.

there will be placed on every train
