Springdale, Ark, July 9. 1909

In looking over the field for a suitable person to deliver the ora- ton at the Fourth of July cele- bration in Springdale the commit tee appointed for that purpose chose Hon. c. 4. Hurst, of Fay ettevllle, one of Washington County's repres entatives in the last general assembly. Mir. Hurst Is an orator of no mean ability, and as he IS young man who probably has separations for the future, the committee consid- cred 1t was payIng him graceful compliment in inviting him to Sprlngdale to address the people. To the surprise and chagrin of not only the committee, but of the entire audience, MT. Hurst, instead of delivering patriotic address appropriate to the day and the occasion, after his intro ductory remarks launched into d political harangue which he kept up for about an hour. The News appears to have furnished Mir.  Hurst text for his address in a little editorial paragraph which appeared i'll this paper during the session of the general assem- bly. The editor of this. paper paid Ar. Hurst tie courtesy of going out to hear him, and was probabl 7 as greatly surprised as any one in the audience at the trend ol his remarks, for we had entirely forgotten the matter. We have looked through the files of the paper, and herewith repro duce the editorial to which our young friend takes such strong exceptions, and which appeared | in the issue of March 2:
 In his speech the other day against the Gam prohibition bill, Mir. Hurst stated that he represented d constituency that was in favor of prohibition. There is no doubt but what large majority of Mir. Hurst's constituents are in favor of pro- hibition, but instead of represent ing them on this important queS ton le appears to De mlsrcpre- senting them.
 The News has no disposition to quarrel with Mir. Hurst over his position on the Gam bill, as that IS a matter to be settled be- tween him and his constituents when the proper time comes. However, we see no reason to change our opinion from that ex- pressed last March. While the Gam bill may not have been all that the friends of prohibition desired, they felt 1t was d step in the right direction and that its passage would be splendid victory for the cause of temper ance. With the liquor interests arrayed solidly against the bill on the one side, and the sober, Christian, fathers and mothers of the state battling for 1t with all their might on the other, we submit that in lining up with the former element MT. Hurst mis- represented the good people of Washington County who sent him to the legislature. He may have been al heart in favor of prohibition, as he would have us believe, but in the fight for the Gam bill he was found i'll mighty poor company. The News is for prohibition, but un- like Mir. Hurst, we take "ourn" straight, Hong -whiskered preach CTS and all.

GREAT WARS FROM TR1EnEs.

Great wars, pregnant with bloodshed
and all the horrors accruing thereto:
have very often been the outcome OF
gtri1ing incidents which might, had
they been treated properly, have been
smoothed over and the slaughter
4averted. More often was this the
case in earlier times than it is now,
Every one knows that William the
Conqucror lost his life In France
through his horse treading on a red
hot clnder while he was superintend-
ing the burning of Nantes. but few
people know the fact which gave rise
to the campaign that cost William his
life.
During the latter part Of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con-
sequently the laughingstock of not
only his subjects, but his neighbors
across the water. One day his con-
temporary, Philip OF France compar-
ed him to flllet Of veal on casters
and suggested that he should be ex-
5hibited at prize monarch show. This
so enraged William that he straight
way made war upon his ridicnler,
and the loss of thousands OF lives
was the result.-London Times.

CLERK OR BRICKLAYER?

You often hear clerks say that they
would rather be bricklayers on ac-
count of the pay, but they don't know
what they're talking about. Clerking
beats bricklaying every day In the

CLERKS. however poor, are popular
with the ladies on account Of their
fine clothes, but bricklayers, when
they go sparkling, get the cold should

"a bricklayer, no matter how much
he makes, has trouble in getting into
swell boarding houses. for his clothes
soil the fine furniture. but a clerk,
with his white hands. is welcome in
any house he can afford.
II know what I'm talking about,
for / brlcklaid two years before 1

of young bricldayers forsaking the

Consul-General Horace Lee Washing
ton of Marseille furnishes the Following
Information as to the. proper way for
artiticially raising frogs for market: ex-
plains thei!. very limited consumption
throughout France, and furnishes form
ulas for cooking theni.3 "a
Upon being directed to prepare a re-
port or, the subject of the raising and
marketing of frogs in France, the first
result obtained on general inquiry into
the subject viz, that frogs are not
either largely or generally used as an
article OF food In France. and therefore
are not bred to any Important extent,
caused some surprise, as being con-
trary to the idea which prevails in the
United States. A French authority, NJ.
+ I.arbaletrier, In his pamphlet on frogs.
icalls attention to this, and states that
greater demand exists In the United
States than the markets of New York
can supply from the native product In
this southern section Of France the de-
lnand is very limited, only small
Quantity being consumed, and that gem
orally in the summer time. What is
consumed here is said to come from the
neighborhood of Lyon. Nothing shows
the small demand for this article OF
food here in Marseille more than the
fact that in the wholesale fish market
the director states that the sale Of
frogs is entirely unknown" { COM

HISTORY MAY REPEAT ITSELF.

In the days Just before gunpowder
came into general use the armorers of
Europe were Very busy people For a
hundred years the coats Of mail and
plate worn by knights and nen-at-
arms had been getting heavier and
heavier. The swords, lances, maces
and battle-aSes had also been getting
heavier and heavier until some of them
became of an almost incredible weight
and size, A heavier corselet called for
heavier AK TO crush it; the heavier ak
demanded new wrinkle in the con-
struction of corselets. And so on, until
the man-at-arms, at the latest period
during which complete ar1nor was used
was incased In such a heavy shell that
cnce endorsed and on, his back he was
