GOV. GEO. w. DONAGHEY.

There will be no reproduction of the Jeffries-J Johnson prize fight pie tures in any city or town in Arkansas if such shows can be prohibited by law, declares Governor Donaghey. Moreover, he believes the statutes will easily reach the case on general prin- ciples if not in specific terms.
 \ telegram in response to dis patch from William A. Shaw of Bos' ton. general secretary of the United Endeavor Society, was sent by Gov ernor Donaghey. in which he eX- pressed his disapproval of the exhi- bition of the prize fight pictures and pledged his cooperation with other state executives in any general move ment for the suppression of the film exhibits of the Reno fight Secretary Shaw notified Governor Donaghey that q general campaign against the exh bition of the pictures is being launched throughout the North and East. and asked his cooperation as the chief executive of one of the Southern states in an effort to ex-
 
 south
 In discussing the matter, Governor Donaghey dechred .his opposition to the reproduction of the pictures of the prze fight on the ground that c=en if there were no danger of racial trouble the ethical side of the ques ton deserves consideration.
 
 of society for prize fight to be al- lowed in the city or within the state, then it is equally harmful to allow the reproduction of the pictures of such fights in public places where women and children are expected 10 congreeate for entertainment.
 This, however. is the less serious phase of the case said the govern OF. The worst feature is the bad feeling i'll a racial way that is likely to be engendered in the reproduction of the pictures, resulting in all prob ability in clashes here just as has re suited in other cities where even tho mere discussion of the fight has pro voked trouble. As chief executive I hall do all in my power fo prevenf the pictures from being shown in this state and believe the statutes ara hroaI enough 10 cover inc case on the ground of Inc general welfare In addition to tAis am seadv to ao- uHazafe To 4ns reasonable and logical dHslee#in general movement among the governors of the seeera states fcrtha prohibit o8 of=tha=m moving pic ture exhibitions of tae fteht."

In Oklahoma We have decided to inaugurate cam paign to improve the quality of tlf' hogs raised What We will do in this state will depend upon the result of an investigation which 1 propose to make here. It it seems that the best results can be obtained by endeavor- ing to settle up the cut-over timber lands. We will undertake that work Northern farmers, however, must be shown what they can do on these lands, and for that reason actual demonstration must be made as to what can be raised here I am so- ing to Louisiana, but I expect to re- turn to Arkansas about the first of September and make tour of the state.
