SURPRISED AT BRINkLEY.

From every side comes exclama- fen cf surprise and admiration at the wonderful way BrinkIey has come ou' from under the greatest calamity that has ever visited any Arkansas city Men of much business ability and increment. who came here from othei cities and town and who saw the wrecked city day or two after the storm, turned away as they viewed the horrible sight and said well Brink ley is dcne fer. She can never over come this diaster. I'm sorry to say it. but there is no hopes for the town, etc"
 But they were wrong; they did know the Brinkley spirit
 Some of these men have been in Brinkley during the last few days and are astounded at what they see.
 In each instance they say that they never saw anything like the wonderful progress and spirit that marks the building of the New Brinkley.
 Said MT. s. J. Beauchamp. a nrouiaent Little Rock business man, yesterday: "How in the world have you people accomplished all this this work3 Why, you already have better town than you had before the storm. Never saw such progress in my life.
 MT. Rasmausun, prominent offi- cer in the Nebraska Bridge Co. of Omaha. said to Brinkley business man this morning: Until last night I ne yer realized the great work that has been done in Brinkley. had paid some attention to the dirty little talk that the relief funds were not properly handled, But l KNOW now that they have been splendidly managed. You people have simply oone a marvellous work
 This is just the kind of talk that is daily heard from honest, clean, clear headed business m en who see and ad- mlre the city for the way it is coming out of the disaster.
 The fact that all Brinkley property is worth more money now than it was before the storm is the blow that breaks the croakers back. Watch Brinkley grow.

Halloween Party

Mrs. f. c. Judd entertained the
members of the local lodge of Re-
bekahs Monday night of this week
with an old fashioned halloween
party. The lodge was in attendance
in full force, and the time passed
pleasantly and quickly. The fun
was pronounced from beginning to
the end. The house as lighted with
the old time candles, and with them
only, for the accommodation of the
spirits with are supposed to wander
on all saints night. At the door the
guests were met by white ghost
who silently extended cold damp
hand, After this hand clasp with
the departed, they were by the spirit
motioned to the cloak room. Then
by the light of the candles and grimm
ing Jack lanterns, the fun began.
Black cats were discovered in the
dim light plenitfully around the par
lors. These frightened some of the
ladies, who remarked that the cats
might catch their rats. Silhouette
pictures thrown on the screen fur
nished the subjects for a spirited
guessing contest. At one place in
the entertainment the curtains sepa-
rating the double parlors being
drawn back, revealed in the garish
light of a purple flare, two skeletons
in clump of brush busy with the
witches cauldron, brewing the witch
es broth. These skeletons later
coming out into the room in an
effort to embrace some of the ladies.

The Tiger and The Lamb at the
Opera House November 5th is a
play described in the following lines:
The story is told directly, with
many fine touch of sentiment, with
much skillful elaboration of charact-
er and with the softening effect OF
much good comedy. The story is
told in action, which is so with every
real play, and it is finely told. 1t
rings true. 1t has feeling and it
goes to you,
A play laid on such lines and
presented by a company of good
players is deserving of the patronage
of all who enjoy a good theatrical
presentation of real life, with the
emotions underlying the every day
occurances of human events.

a false hope of the leaders of the
old time regime.

We frequently hear complaint
about the cost of criminal prose
cutions, usually
COST OF the amount of
CRIMINAL cost IN a given
PROSECUTIONS case being much
over-stated. Also
the complaint rarely comes from
a heavy tax payer, one who is Wit
ally interested in the enforce
ment of the criminal statutes, but
either from some person who is
an habitua1 apologist for crime
and who can always make some
roar against the enforcement of
the laws, or from some person
who never pays a cent of taxes.
The place on which the blame of
cost in criminal prosecution is
rightly laid is at the door of the
violator of law. The peacable,
law abiding citizen has right to
live peacably under the protection
of the law. It is his right, for
which he has surrendered the
right to protect himself by force
and arms, except in case where
the law could not act quickly
enough. That is in the preser-
walton of his own, or the lives of
his family, in the defense of his
goods from actualrobery, and such
cases. The law abiding citizen
in these later years believes that
the cost of prosecuting a Grim
inal is money well spent, although
a conviction fails. It will go far
to prove to the criminally inclin-
ed that crime does not pay.
The right to live in peace unde
the protection of the law is
right which the great mass of
citizens tax payers is ever more
and more strenously insisting on,
and one which they are coming
to prize highest. The criminal,
and the apologist of crime, will
do well to heed the signs of the
times.

as being solely re-
sponsible for the alleged increase
of taxes over the proceeding adj
ministration. Just why the 1egis-
1ature is not called on to account
for its acts, is not explained in
this plea by Curtis. Neither
does he say why he credits
Stubs as being the whole ma
chine. He credits the reduc ton
in railroad Passenger rates to
the railroad commissioners, and
states that they were elected be-
fore Stu IBIS came in. The fact
in the case about the railroad rate
reduction is that the people of
the state had, under the leader
ship of Stubs, demanded this re-
duction by law. There was
mum Der sufficient in the leg-is-
lature to make the passage of
this law doubtful, or to defeat it.
This was by reason of the hold
over members of the upper house.
Yet the fear of the vengence of
the voters, if this was turned
down by the privilege grabbers,
under the lead of the men with
whom Curtis trained then, and
does now, forced them to do
something to stave off the enact
ment of this demand of the peo-
pie into law. After much con-
sultation, the trick of having the
board make this order, and the
roads comply with it, was
framed up and carried out.
This leaves the whole matter
with the roads, who will, if Curtis
and his associate servants of the
special interests succeed in dis
crediting the leaders of the re-
form movement, Immediately
raise the old standard. There
is not the shadow of doubt in the
mind of any man who has watch
ed the trend of affairs that this
move was intended to be made
by the roads in Kansas at the
same time that it was in Missou-
RI But the temper of the voters
made that dangerous, with an
election approaching. Th ere
fore the battle line has been re-
formed, and the guns trained on
the leaders of the reform move
ment in the state The tactics
in Kansas of the apologists of
graft is not different from that
in any place or time where there
is, or has been, a fight made for
clean government in either city,
state, or nation. So they assail
LaFollete in Wisconsin, they at
tack Hughes in New York, andin
similar manner make war on
Heney in San Francisco. There
is no attempt to show that the
methods of grafters is better for
the people than that of their OPP
ponents. But there is a constant
effort to prove that all public men
are rascals, especially those men
in public life who advocate clean
politics. Roosevelt was not ex-
empt from their attacks, only that
he was one man in public life who,
if struck, struck back, quick,
sure and hard. What Curtis
fails to comprehend in this con-
troversy is, that the fight on any
one man of the reform movement
makes not one iota of difference
with final results. This is not
fight of leaders, but of the people
on principle, for their rights to
govern themselves as they see fit.
That they are likely to resent an
attack on the trusted leader is
probable, but that if any one lead
er or all of them is discredited it
will stay the tide now raising, is
