A SAFE GUESS,

The Hon. Ben Cravens writes The Star regarding the lectures to be delivered in Mena on Friday, No vember II. saying: T know the people who hear these lectures will be helped and 1 know you are inter- ested in their welfare"
 In both propositions our Congress- man is right. Those who hear these lectures will be helped, and The Star is interested in anything that will benefit it's readers, and the three subjects to be treated on, Crops and Farming Profitable Stock Raising" and Good Roads" are of vital importance singly and collec- lively. In fact the success of each depends upon the other two. A little thought will prove this.
 The Star sincerely hopes that when the eminent specialists on these sub- iects speak in Mena there will be as many of our people present as can get within hearing of the voices.

WE ARE GRATEFUL.

Two weeks ago The Star re- quested that its readers who were in arrears call and make settle nent as soon as they could.
 The response has been very gratifying indeed. We believe that larger number have come in and paid up during the rast ten days than in any like period in the life of the paper.
 This is indeed appreciated mot only because we need and should have what is justly due, but be- cause it shows that our readers approve our efforts to give them good paper, and are of the sort that pay what they owe.
 That is characteristic of Polk county people.
 There still are some who have not come in. Some may not have been to town, others may have forgotten when in.
 Come when you can.
 Yours very truly.

teachers into better buildings. We need sentiment that will make the districts more careful and more dis criminating in the selection of trustees. Schools cannot grow when controlled by organized incompe- tency.
 With the growth of a healthy educational interest there will come parallel development of practical plans for the improvement of our sys sem of organization and admins tion. Most of the great epoch-mak- ing documents. like our constitution of the United States, were born in response to national needs.
 We cannot hope to have good system of public schools until we are willing to pay the price. Every good system that may be devIsed in its last analysis goes back to the sub ject of taxation. Universal educa- ton should be corollary of univer- sal suffrage. Create the desire for education and the legislature will gladly vote higher leyies. Ignorance is greater burden for state to carry than taxation.

Haskell's Predicamert.

Governor Haskell of Oklahoma has lost prestige, he has even lost the respect of many people who had previously admired him.
 He may be innocent of wrong doing and may be just the victim of Rooseyelt's wrath, or he may be one of the corruptest politicians that has ever disgraced the country.
 If he had been innocent of wrong dolng, he made a mistake when he resigned from the office of treasurer of the Democratic National Com mittee under fire.
 He still further compIicates the case when he allows his attorneys to move to quash the indictment on the ground that in promoting the al. legged town lot fraud, he violated nc Federal law.
 Perhaps he didn't, and perhaps the Federal court is not the proper tribunal to pass on the case.
 But has he violated any law?
 That's what the people want tc know, and they want to know re. gardless of what Roosevelt charges or what Haskell denies.
 But he can't afford to try to throw the case out of court unless he makes a motion to move the case from one court to another court, but if he ever again expects to occupy public office and regain public confidence he must invite and insist on the thorough investigation of the cas-.
 Whitewash will do him no good. =. Arkansas Democrat.

MENA IS THE HUB.

Mena was the originator, and is the hub of the East and West rail-
 road project, and is distinctly to the interest of our city that it be also kept in the lead.
 The men chosen to have charge of the movement in behalf of Mena are able and willing workers. With the united support of the citizens they can keep in the front. They can not only secure the support of every other interested town on the line, but they can have these other towns looking up to Mena as the hub the center of the movement. just as it is
 the center of the proposed line. It is not at all improbable that our representatives may arrange for the b ginning of construction, either o le way or another. to be at and out from Mena. If this is done, a very large part of the cost of building will come at once into the business channels of our city. Much labor will be given to men in Mena and Polk county, and the merchants and
 business men of Mena who must put up a large part of the bonus. will have much of it returned to them in profits from increased business. Again, referring to Mena as the
 center. has it occurred to you that lit is the logical point for division?
 This is another reason why our rep
 resentatives should keep in the lead
 the lead in energy of action and
 the lead in influence. They may
 have the power to bring more to
 Mena than just a new road.
 Remember. too, that one man can
 tear down the work of many. One kicker. one dissatisfied citizen, can handicap and hinder the workers
 even ruin all chance of success.
 Therefore. it behooves every one to
 stand up. as did those at the meeting
 last night, agreeing to work as one
 man for one end.

When Man Can Soar at Will.

Whatever Wilbur Wright says about flying commands hearing. He has shown that he never lets his enthusiasm get away with his judg- ment. Hence there is great inter est Tn this statement made by Mir Wright and published in an article in the Gazette:
 "When aviation has progressed far enough there is no reason why an aviator should not mount to the clouds Tn his areoplane, cut off his motor. and then soar in circles and spirals over ascending currents of air like the great birds. sail op for period of time, with no exertioT of energy: then at his will restart the motor and return safely to earth. expect in a few years to be able to do this myself. and my brother, Orville, with his flights, is already preparing to do this.n
 Think of being able to sail up in your aeroplane. above the houses and the trees, above tEe earth and all things earthly, and for as long as you pleased. circle around in the free, blue air. with no engine in motion and no sound to distract or disturb; simply to skim upon wings, just as the strongest and the bravest of birds l-Gazette.

Off Wrong.

A farmer in Iowa to whom we send
 copy of Pointers occasionally, in- jected the following into a social
 letter, doubtless in reply to some
 thing about buying at home: A word about the mail order busi- ness. From long study and from ex- perience have come to the conclusion that the unfairness aud exorbitant rates of the country merchant were the causes of the starting of the mail order houses. Also, have seen it demon strated that no country merchant who is willing to be strictly honest and fair in his dealings need have any fear of the mail order business. | would like to see the country merchant honor the farmer as he expects the farmer to honor him.
 We are all dependent on one an- other, and no community can prosper where the farmers and merchants do not work together but the farmer suffers most. When u e town goes down, farm values depreciate as well as town homes and rents. When conditions get too bad the merchant can move his stock, but there is no demand for farms in that section. Farm values are always dependent on the proximity to market and a good town.
 As to honesty; the merchant is more trustworthy than the farmer. the mechanic, or the professional man, because he learns by wide ex- perience that it pays to be honest. It does not seem that any argument lis needed to prove that it IS poor policy to build up merchants in dis tant cities at the expense of those lat home. Take the purchases the year through and the country mer- chant sells cheaper than the mail
 order house. This is well estab- l lished fact.
 But. suppose the home merchant does charge little more; think of the advantages direct and indirect
 The farmers are no worse than the

 could buy at horne. IsSs a near sighted policy.

HOLDING BACK WON'T DO.

There is probably not man in Mena but realizes that it is of para mount importance that the efforts to secure another railroad should not falter or fail.
 It is absolutely known that even delays ia getting the absolute work under way are jeopardizing not only the future progress and prosperity of the city, but also it's opportunities to secure the much needed road.
 Every day we continue as we are we are losing vitality in that move ment begun must be carried out to succeed best. by the flush of public interest pushed forward on flood of united enthusiasm. And, please do not forget for even fieeting moment, that other towns, most particularly Hot Springs. is being urged, and urged hard and earnest ly, to tie itself to another road that is being projected in it's direction. If this is done. it puts an end to Mena's chances to get help from that city-a hard blow indeed. Don't hang back. When waited on by the committee which was of your own selection, get in the!game. Strike while we have the strength and the assistance of others to strike effectively.

Where the Aldrich Law Hurts.

Most of the political leaders evl- dently have missed the point of the public censure of the Aldrich law. By pointing to this, that or the other reduction they have assumed that they could answer criticism.
 The people know precious little about the tariff in detail. They are not primarily concerned with rates. Whether the duty on thu own silk in the gum" is high or low doesn' t greatly interest them. What does concern them first of all is that the tariff shall be just; that it's burdens shall be equitabIy distributed.
 It was known that previous tariffs had been made as the result of deals and trades. The strongest interests got what they wanted without re- gard to the justice of their demands This was what people objected to and this was what was promised should be eliminated in the new revision. The tariff of 1909, it was pledged, should be based on the diff ference in the cost of production at home and abroad.
 The people had expected a new deal in tariff f-making. Instead they were treated to the old spectacle of 3 scramble of interests in which the most powerful won. The Aldrich law was based, not on reason---as the scanty defense of it's schedules showed---but on political bargains. It's schedules were the result of intrigue. not of honest economics.
 This nation is tolerant and long suffering, but it is not ready to over- look conspicious violation of the policy of the square deal.--- Kansas City Star.

A TURN OF THE TARIFF.

This is a "sure-nuff" tariff joke. The California lemon growers de- cided they wanted to hold the Ameri- can people up for higher price, and the Payne-Aldrich combination was willing, so the tariff on lemons was advanced to suit. Later the transcontinental railroads, thinking the deal looked good, raised the freight on the fruit about equal to the tariff raise. Of course the growers now know what 1t is to be handed lemon" but it's the peo- pie the ultimate consumers-th those who pay the freight that are handed the lemon that the railroads squeeze.

Spain and Ferrsr.

We do not know just how much of a case the Spanish government could make against Prof. Francisco Ferrer, who was shot to death by a squad of soldiers after some sort of nasty trial. But the day has passed when governments can have men shot for their opinions and their preachings even if their views and words be subversive of government.

MEXICAN BARBARISM.
The True History of the Yaqui
 Troubles in That Country.

"Barbarous Mexico" the series of articles that John Kenneth Tur- ner is writing for the American Magazine, is the most appalling reve- lation of atrocious cruelty that has been published in any magazine or newspaper in many years. ltis even more sensational and astounding than Ksnard's expose of the Rus sian outrages in Siberia, which ere ated such a profound impression about twenty years ago. In the November issue of the American Magazine, Mir. Turner relates the true history of famous Yaqui Indian troubles with the Mexican govern ment. A brief summary of the story is as follows:
 "The Yaquis are being extermi- mated, and exterminated fast. As to whether or not the Yaquis ought to be exterminated there is more room for controversy. It $ un- doubtedly true that a portion of their number have consistently re- fused to accept the destiny that their government has maredk out for them. On the other hand, there are those who assert that the Yaquis are as worthy as other Mexicans and deserve as much consideration at the hands of the Mexican govern ment.
 "The determination of the Yaquis began in war; it's finish is being accomplished in deportation.
 The Yaquis are called Indians. In the United States we would not call then Indians. for they are work. CTS. As far back as their history can be traced they have never been savages. They have been agricul- tural people.
 The origin of the Yaqui troubles IS generally attributed to plot On the part of politicians, the purpose being to get possession of the rich lands in southern Sonora which the Yaquis had held for hundreds of years. The Yaquis seem to have had a pretty good title to their lands. The Spanish were never able to sub. due them completely, and after two hundred and fifty troublous years a peace was entered into whereby the faquis gave up part of their ter rItory and, as acknowledgement of their rightful ownership of the rest of 1t. the King of Spain gave them a patent signed by his own hand.
 Butsomehow war came. Teresa urrea Cabora, a highly educated Mexican woman, published history Tn spanish of the Yaqui troubles, says that a certain pair of officials wanted the Yaqui lands, and they saw opportunity for graft in bring Ing large body of soldiers into the
