Rumors That Poolroom Is to
Do Business in the Near
Future Are Disposed Of by
Gov. Marshall's Personal
Representative.

Attorney J. C. Ibach, who arrived in
Hammond today, after several days
vacation, said he had heard the rumor
reopen Dearborn Park for poolroom
purposes.
1t is understood that the Chicago
men who are interested in this venture
are taking advantage of the fact that
Governor Marshall is in Arizona and
they believe that in his absence they
can start their poolroom.
Mr.. Ibach, who is the personal rep
resentative of the governor in this
part of the state. said today that If an
other effort was made to start gam
bling at Dearborn Park he would Sc
cure an injunction in the United
States court to~prevent the owners of
the property from carrying out their
purpose.
Action Decisive.
The action will be begun in the
United States court for the reason that
the local courts are so crowded with
work that he believes he could secure
quicker action in the federal courts
dersOn would take quick and decisive
action in a matter of this kind.
Mr.. Ibach also called attention to
the fact that when the Dearborn Park
poolroom was raided several years ago
and Bud White and others were arrest

TO BUILD SIDEWALKS
Citizens Hold rleeting and Decide
on Improvement District

A meeting of citizens and tax
payers of Newark was held at the
city hall Wednesday night for the
purpose of discussing the sidewalk
problem.
A large number of citizens were
present, among the number being
several of the largest taxpayers in
town. The booster spirit was
largely in evidence, and if there
was a single knocker present he
kept silent.
Mayor Williamson presided ov-
er the meeting, and short talks
were made by a number of citizens
as to the best and most feasible
plan of building sidewalks. Ev-
eryone who expressed himself was
in favor of concrete, and after a
thorough discussion of the matter,
it was decided that the most feas-
ible, practical and equitable solu-
ton of the matter was to organize
the town into an improvement dis
trict.
Acting upon this decision the
chairman appointed DIR. A. A.
Evans, 4. w. Magness and j. II.
Holderby as committee to pre-
pare and secure names to a petit
ton for the organization of such
Improvement district, and secure
and prepare such other data as
might be needed.
1t is expected that the petition
will be presented to the city coun-
Gil for action at its next meeting,
the first Monday night in Febru-
airy.

BETTERING THE SCHOOLS
Larger Districts, Better Methods
and Better Teachers Needed.

The greatest handicap to the de-
velopment of the rural schools OF
Arkansas is small, weak, inetfic-
lent school district. Such a school
district, with its small revenue,
must, of necessity, have short
terms of school and poorly paid
teachers.
The crying need of the rural
schools of the State is the CONSOLE
dation of small districts into unit
approximately as large as polit-
zeal township conforming to
the natural boundary lines of
streams and mountains. This larg-
er district, where necessary, may
maintain several schools, but where
possible the small schools should
be consolidated into large central
graded school, where high school
branches may also be taught.
The ultimate solution of the
rural school problem is in central
schools and the transportation of
the children in wagonetts. The
first step in this solution is the alb
clifton of the small, weak district
and the substitution of the larger
territory, under the control of one
school board. This system pre-
walls in large number of States
in the Union, and the experiment
has been tried in a number of
places in Arkansas, and wherever
tried it has met with marked sue
cess.
The farce of one teacher attemp-
ting to teach all grades and great
variety of subjects should give
way to more systematic classifi-
cation of pupils and the diversion
of the classes among a number of
teachers, to the marked advantage
of the children. Efficient prinei-
pals, comfortable houses, adequate
janitor service and many other adj
vantages would accrue,
The chief obstacle to this reform,
aside from simple inertia, seems
to be in the opposition of those
who fear such a system would re-
move the schools from local con-
troll. The large district would not
lessen the control of the policies of
the school by its patrons, but one
man domination, factional bicker-
ings and neighborhood dissensions
would be eliminated, to the good
of the cause of education. j. w.

SIMMONS CREATES STIR
Says Liquor Interests Named
Jackson County Election Board.

Judge I'll. 5. Simmons, of New
port, sprung something of sem
sation at the meeting of the Arkan-
sas Anti Saloon League in Little
Rock Tuesday, when, in answer
to calls for a speech, he declared
that certain saloon interests in
Little Rock were able to name the
election commissioners in various
counties in the last election and
that he secured their %. k.' on
the names of three commissioners
whom he and others wanted as
commissioners in Jackson county
before presenting the names to the
State Election Board.
The call for Judge Simmons was
prompted by the fact that he had
lately declined to issue any saloon
licenses for the year 1910 in Jack
son county.
/ don't deserve any credit for
this action, however, he declared.
1T was Jesus Christ and God Al
mighty whipping me into line, and
| felt more. like a boy who has
been mae co do right in the mat
ter of of refusing to issue any
more licenses. 1t was not always
my disposition, and until my con-
version few months ago l was as
strong in my pledge to the whisk-
ey interests as any man could be. -
in connection with his visit to
Little Rock two years ago, when,
he alleged, he secured the naming
of the election commissioners of
Jackson county through the infiu-
ence of the liquor interests. he fur
Their declared that the same liquor
interests controlled the Legislature
at that time.
THE liquor interests in jackson
county have tried to buy me off
since / started to oppose them.
The liquor men offered to pay all
my debts and buy me a home.

health, they told me to take her to

ct. But | would not be tempted

my fight against liquor and give
assurance that | would not put

liked"
Judge Simmons very modestly
admitted he couldn't make much
of a religious speech. You see
i am young in the cause, and | will
have to be pardoned on that ac-
count. Besides, I've got some
campaign speeches to make this
time in my county and Pm saving
up for that, although don It think
there will be any trouble in taking

paign. "

SAYS WAR TO COME
Oregon Judge Says Japan Could
Land 100000 Men in Single
Expedition.

Portland, Ore, July 9.-War be-
tween the United States and Japan
in the next decade was the predic-
ton ventured by Circuit Judge Gran
tenbein Friday, following a speech
delivered at the second annual BAN
quet of the Bolo club, an organiza-
ton of Spanish War vet
Grams.
Judge Gantenbein is one of the
best known jurists Of Oregon, and
while addressing the veterans he
gave it as his belief that war could
be looked for possibly before the
completion of the Panama canal in
1915.
He pointed out that Japan has a
transport feet capable of transport
ing 100000 men in single expedi-
ton.
with a force like that it would
not be necessary for the japanese to
enter our fortified seaports, said the
Judge. They could steer away from
the Columbia river, Puget Sound or
San Francisco. They could land, say,
at Gray's Harbor, and by establishing
a base at Chehalis they could occupy
the coast and subjugate us before we
could rush troops across the Rocky
mountains"

pat policy AMI the support of Messrs.
Cannon and Aldrich.
Whether this method will be fol-
lowed in Chelan county we have not
heard. But we do have it on very
good authority that this course has
been urged on some members of the
county committee. The only preced-
ent for the departure from a time
honored custom of allowing the body

START POSTAL BANKS
Uncle Sans New Savings Banks Will
Encourage Thrift Among Chill
dren as Well as Adults.

A silver ten-cent piece will be all
that you will need to start a saw
ings account with Uncle Sam when the
new postal savings banks are install4
ed throughout the country. The plan
is this:
Uncle Sam wants to encourage
thrift among persons earning small
wages. He wants the child, as well
as the grown up to learn to save
Many persons spend their pennies.
The postal savings bank will receive
only regular deposits of 81.
To encourage the saving of the
squandered pennies, however, the
postal savings bank will issue a card
representing ten cents. Then postal
savings stamps" will be sold at 2
cents each. When the card is filled
with stamps it will be accepted at
the postal savings bank as 81 de-
post and placed to the account of
the depositor.
Some of the features of the postal
savings bank law are:
Children more than 10 years old
may open accounts.
Married women may have accounts
in their own names and free from
CONTROL or interference from their
husbands.
No one will be allowed to deposit
more than 500 in any calendar
month.
The balance to the credit of any
person never shall exceed $500, ex-
elusive of accumulated interest
Interest of per cent per annum
viii be paid on all deposits, but no
interest will be allowed on fractions
of 81.
While no time is to be lost in ar
ranging preliminaries, it is not con-
sidered feasible, according to state
ment of Postmaster-General F. NJ.
Hitchcock, to establish repositories
for several months.
The postmaster-general has APP
pointed a committee of departmental
officers to prepare such blank forms
and instructions as will be needed in
getting the system started The pos
tai administrations of all foreign
countries which have postal savings
banks have been requested by the
department to submit samples of
their blank forms and copies of
their regulations and instructions.
