AN OUTSIDE VIEW

The announcement of Mr. R. J. Williams for reelection to the office of district attorney of this judicial district appeared in the Helena Daily World and It gives us real pleasure to call the attention of our readers to 1t.
 Most of the people in the district are acquainted with Mr. Williams by reputation if not in person. He is just now round ing out his first term in this office, and he has made a splen- did record with which to go be- fore the people again. He has been honest, jealous and fear less in the discharge of every duty that his office required of him and the district has fared we'll under his conduct of the office.
 MT. Williams has many friends in Helena and Phillips county who will be glad of his reelection.
 "So far he has no opposition and 1t is not thought likely that he will have" Helena World.

Arkan>a, needs sadly a definite edI

Arkansas needs sadly a definite edu- eational theory Our schools are not working toward fixed ideals. The present system Is chaotic Suggestions for improvement. however. should be advanced with mcdcsty fl not with reverence.
 In order ta clear the bushes before cutting down the tree. we should have some campaigns of red hot educational evangelism. Our state needs educa- tlonaI missionaries 10 stir up the masses. When our people become thoroughly interested in school i'm. provement the right system will be devised and the right laws will be made and enforced. Good laws are the fruitage of good sentiments. Cor rect theories will. Of course. help to create and to crystallize sentiment. Plato'S Republic, or the Dialogue of Justice was never put into practice as d working institution, but | exerted | profound influence on thought.
 Our greatest immediate need Is the agitation of some elementary propo- sitions. We want the newspaperS.tEe pulpit, the educational organizations and the leaders of thought iu all lines To build up sentiment that viii put better teacher, into better buildings. We need a sentiment that win make the districts more careful and dis eliminating in the selection of trus- tees. Schools cannot grow wien con troiled by organized inrompeteHey.
 With the growth ot healthy edu- cational interest there viii come q parallel development of practical plans for the improvement of our system or organization or administration. Most of the great epoch making documents, like our constitution of the United States, were born in respon~e 10 ma tional needs
 We cannot hope to have a good system of public schools until We are willing topay the price. Every good system Chat may be devised ill it's last analysis goes back to the question of taxation. Universal education should be d eorollary of universal suffrage. Create the desire for education and the legislature will gladly vote higher Ievies. Ignorance is q greater burden fer state To carry than taxation.

Better schools General Interest in
 school Improvement.

The school patrons of Arkansas are coming to appreciate the value of work accomplished through School Improvement Associations, thus bringing together the patrons and teachers to work for the practical betterment of school conditions
 Last year this campaign was insti- tuted by State Superintendent, Geo. E. Cook Eighty-three active asso- citations with three thousand mem- bers in thirty-nine counties, competed for the loving cup offered by Superin- tendent Cook for the Banner $. l. A. of Arkansas. The trophy was won by the Central Association in Little Rock, and the reports showed that these organizations had raised and expended for the schools ten thousand dollars, and had encouraged the eN- penditure of half million dollars for new houses and equipment.
 The loving cup will be competed for again this year at the State Teachers Association al Hot Springs, December 2s. 29 and 5o and report blanks are now being sent to each S L A.
 School Improvement Associations are now organized ill practically every county. Twenty-siX new associations were organized during the past thirty days. and Miss Eva Reichardt. field representative. has more requests to visit schools than can be filled. Three hundred new school houses have been built in Arkansas in the last year al | cost of a half million dollars, and the school Improvement idea is mak- ing itself felt in many ways directly beneficial to our boys and girls Ad- dress Geo.

Why The Farm Telephone is so Popular

The telephone IS more essential in country districts than in the eity,in the opinion of the Atlanta (Ga. Constitu- tion. This newspaper recently review ed in it's editorial columns rural tele- phone article which appeared in the Manufacturers Record, also a South ern publication. The Contitutlon stat ed:
 Commenting upon the marvellous manner in which the telephone Is com ing into vogue in the rural districts, and outlining it's practical value to the farmer and the rural resident generally The Manufacturers Record says.
 'It is not alone the farmer can in this way keep posted as to the price of his products. and many of the farmers of the west depend entirely upon the telephone in making sales of grain and other produre-valuable as the telephone is from the financial point of view, 1t is even more valuable in bringing the family of farmers in touch with their neighbors The loneliness m k.e S farm life a burden to so many people, especially to the children and women. the fear that takes possession of them when the men are away, the fear of the inability to reach doctor in times of sickness, are all banished by the telephone in the home. Among the great blessings which have come to civ ilZation in recent years there Is scarce ly anything comparable to the value of the telephone, and as valuable as it is to the people of the city, it is infiitely more valuable toythose in the country
 "In the South, and, of latter years,
The Forrest City times., 1909-11-26

especially in Georgia. the voice in the box las made wonderful strides in the country districts.
 he farmer has outgrown the old impression that the telephone was a luxury accessible only to the manin the city.
 He has discovered that with the use ot the party line system and eoopera- atiNe method, now so prev e { throughout this section. he can have an instrument n his house the ear round at cost we'll within the revenue from one bale of cotton.
 he claim of the Record that a tele- phone iS even more essential to the country than to the city is entirely log ieal.
 Tn the City there is none of the iso- lation that characterizes the rural dis trlets, and the means of communication. aside even from the Telephone. are numerous and rapid
 In the country there is only the high way often connecting farmhouse to farmhouse, highway often nearly i'm passable in element weather and nnder the best ot conditions forcing consider a'ioh oi the elements of delay and out lay.
 Into this difficult situation the rural telephone comes as a great transformer. IL mitigateS isolation almost to the van lshlng point. lt puts the farthest-re- moved farm lR immediate 0touch with nelghborinG farms as well as civilization at large. l. gives the farmes. with crop ready for sale, instant access to market quotations. II provides tor the summonng of physicians. for aid m fighting fire or for any other of the dozen emergencies inseparahle from country life.
 It Is not strange that. offering these and other reVelutienizlug advantages. the telephone should berapdlv conquer ing the rural districts
 ''So vividB was Mr. Roosevelt s country life commission impressed With the salutary results that had followed the general prevalence of telephones in the country that 1t names their patron- age as one of the factors destined to solve the rural problem.
 Will the South facing unprecedent- ed prosperity,it it is likely the coming year will witness even greater progress on part of this modern adjunct to life and business.
 That the telephone is rapidly "con- quering the rural districts was never more apparent than this year. In the past months the Western Electric Com pany, which makes all the "Bell'' tele- phones, sold 100, GOO of it's newest type of rural telephone. In some sections of the country more than e-fourths of the farms have their telephones.

HON. k. ]. WILLIAMS

Hon. k. ]. Williams of this city is standing for reelection to the office of prosecuting at torney for the First Judicial Circuit. The administration of Mir. Williams has been so thor ough, capable and efficient that The Times Is constrained to believe, and, in fact, such is our wish, that no other name will be presented before the primary next March. Mir. Williams has only served one term and 1t fol- lows, in view of the clean record he has made, that he should be accorded a second term without opposition. This is democracy: and, be 1t said here to our friends everlasting honor and credit, that there Is not d truer, more earnest exponent of the grand principles and doctrines of democracy in the state than Rufe Williams. His reputation as a democrat Is well established and d.unsullied. It is space wasted to enlarge upon it here.
 Mr. Williams ability as a law yer and his proWess before the courtsof the state has long since given him the foremost place amongst the leading attorneys of Arkansas. Ir the discharge of his duties as prosecuting at torney of this district, Mr. Will hams left no stone, unturned to punish criminals and uphold the law, and, while he has been vigorous and impartial in his prosecutions, he has also been uniformly courteous to every body. He has made friends of the bar of the several towns throughout the entire district, and in this connection We print herewith a petition endorsing his candidacy, numerously signed by the Helena bar, which speaks for itself.
 We, the undersigned, mem- bers of the bar of the city of Helena, Phillips county, Arkan- sas, do hereby endorse the can didacy of Mr, R. J. Williams for the office of Prosecuting Attor- ney for the First Judicial Cir cult. We base our endorsement on the efficient services ren- dered by the said k. J. Williams during his present incumbency, and we feel that with further experience in the office that he will further discharge the du- ties fearlessly and with energy and efficiency, and in a manner altogether satisfactory to the citizens of his Circuit.
