Secretary Moffett Rhodes is at Hendrix today in the interert of the Y M. C. A. work.
 They are telling around town a joke on Doctors Brown and Wes- terheld that's too good to keep. In order to avoid climbing the stairs, these doctors decided few weeks ago 10 erect one-story of flee building on their lots on the west side of the public square. The fact, however, that the Gam bill is pending in the legislature has caused a good-natured laugh on the doctors, by some wag who pretended to see another motive in the new building. You doctors think that Gam bill is going to pass, he said, land you are pre- pairing to get in on the ground floor. Dr. Brown will be the practising physician who will write the prescriptions for thirsty individuals, and Dr. Westerfield, , ill the adjoining room, will be the registered pharmacist who will fill them. It's great scheme. e."

EDITORIAL
A SUGGESTION TO THE LIQUOR
 DEALERS.

DEALERS.
 The drugstore joker i'll the Ganr bill suggests to The Log Cabir Democrat that the liquor interests of Arkansas, through the magic words, Estate wide prohibition, ought to be able to secure almost any sort of legislation they desire. Let them propose a measure some thing like this:
 "S. B. No. 4II44. Gander. "A Bill for an Act to be Emit
 led an Act to Enforce Statewide
 Prohibition in the State of Ark
 ansas.
 "Be it Enacted, by the General As
 sembly of thesState of Arkan sas:
 "Section I. That from and af- ter the passage of this act no per son shall be prohibited from sell ing, giving away or otherwise dis posing of any alcoholic, spurious, malt, vinous or intoxicating liquor to any person within the State ot Arkansas,
 "Section ?. Tn at all counties townships and cities be hereby prohibited from preventing, by vote or otherwise, the carrying out of the provisions of Section I o this act.
 "Section 5. That all acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed. '
 The first line is all that will be read. "Whoopee! says the pro- hibition enthusiast, Heres a bill for state wide prohibition Let's have mass meeting. Call the w. c. T. U., the I.-C. T. F. and the AS. l.. together immediate ly. Let the organized forces ot temperance press the passage ot the Gander bill. Telegraph youl senator and representative at once Down with the man who lifts his voice against statutory statewide prohibition. Hurrah for the Gan. der billl''
 And if a plain citizen of the state who opposed the sale of li- quor in his community should hap pen to read the measure and should venture to suggest that the Gandel bill wasn't exactly the thing he wanted, he would at once be de nounced as "an emissary of the rum demon-a foe to the cause of tenn perance. "Twenty-four thous and majority spoke III thunderou' tones last September for the pas sage of the Gander billl Oppose it if you dare, and we'll skin your political hide at the next Demo, cratic primary and if we don't ge it there we'll go after you with al independent or a Republican q the general election.

the privilege of riding in the royal
carriages, but under a recent order
only the members of her own family
may accompany her on these oc-
