"Drys" Mnst Wait a Month.

Texarkana, Tex, Jan. 8.-At Boston, county seat of Bowie county, ,the prohibition committee today presented the petitions for a local option election, numerous ly signed, to County Judge Joe Hughes, with an urgent request that he at once call a special ses- sion of the County Com mission CTS Court and order a local option election to be, held this month. Judge Hughes refused the re- quest, telling the committee they must wait until the regular term Of the court, which convenes February 15.
 Were the election held during January this years poll tax re- ceipts only could be used, while if it be held after February the first new tax receipts will be used. The Prohibitionists are very anxious to hold the election with the old poll tax receipts, while the liquor men are equally anxious to defer it until the new poll tax receipts are issued.

SEATS FOR BOTH FINALLY.
And just How This Came About Is
Here Set Forth Exactly.

Standing side by side in an elevated
car were two women, one gray-haired
but decidedly not old. the other younger.
They We're strangers.
Pretty soon a man, in front OF whom
they were standing. got up TO offer one
OF these two women his seat. his thought
being to offer il TO the woman with the
gray hair. But the younger woman. who
was a trihe nearer, and who appeared
not to understand the mans intention.
started for it. and more promptly. too,
than the other; the gray-haired woman
had understood that the seat was for her.
and with this feeling of assurance In her
mind she was little slow, but now, after
a fraction OF a seconds time, she moved
also to take it, At that the younger
woman, with realization now OF the
mans intention. halted. as did now also
the older woman, and then said the
younger woman to the other;
You take it."
ooh, no." said the woman with the
gray hair, smilinglY you take IT.
But again the younger, woman said.
mo, you take it, whereupon the gray
haired woman did take it and sat down,
leaving the other still standing Then
something else happened.
Sitting next 20 the man who had given
up his seat for the gray-haired woman
was another man who before that little
episode had apparently never thought of
giving up his seat, but since that various
circumstances had combined TO produce
a different impression on his mind
First he had seen his next neighbor get
up and give his seat to a woman. a lesson
Ia politeness. this. and then he had seen
those two women standing politely dis
cuss as to which OF them should have the
seat thus offered, and then he had seen
the woman who might by her superior
proximity and promptness have taken
whom It had really been intended. another
lesson this. an example OF politeness.
courtesy. and right doing. and this lesson
exemplihed to him by woman
These things all together were too much
! for him; they wrought in him q state OF
feeling that prompted MIN now to rise
and say to the woman still standing:
Madam. you take my seat" which she
did with thanks.
So these two women, the gray-haired
woman and the other, both got seats
finally.

The Commercial Club directors voted last evening to take the matter up with Viee-President Sands, in an effort to bring about better service. MT. Sands, however, is in hospital fol surgical treatment, and cannot be both cred with business cares for a time yet. A Times-Echo representative talked to day with MT. Sand assistant, ". s. Roberts, and Traffic Manager Whitney, and they seem to feel that the public was too quick in rendering an unfavor- able verdict against the new order of things. They believe that with a fair trial, the new schedule will meet with favor. MT. Sands went over the mat ter very carefully, weighing with his usual foresight all the ob iections now offered, and he deemed the change a good one-the very best that can possib- ly be given with justice to all patrons of the road while travel is light.

THAT NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE
How it Suits the Other Towns Along the Line of the North Arkansas"

The Tribune's impression last week that Green Forest has no kick coming against the new train schedule has been reconsidered
 The idea that we must have our mail posted by 1 40 O clock in the af- ternoon in order to get it to catch the Joplin flyer that is due to pass here going north 12 hours later, don't set well. Then we would just as soon or a little bit rather have our mail from the north at 1920 in the afternoon than to have it IS hours later.
 When we decided in favor of the new schedule, we were under the impress sion that we would get regular mail service on the passenger trains that pass Green Forest each way in the af- ternoon, but such is not the case. Only very small amount of local stuff is brought in on these trains and nothing goes out except for Berryville
 The new predicament don't look well to A. B. Wilson, who has the transpor- tation of the mails between the post office and the station and his resigna- tion as carrier has been forwarded to Washington right now. Our people, however, mellow up wonderfully in their kicks when they think of Berry vile service. The southbound mail that reaches Green Forest patrons in the morning reaches Berryville at something like in the afternoon which makes the bulk of the mail more than "A hours behind the former schedule, while the Berryville mail from the south is thrown off here in the morning and sent over by the mixed train in the afternoon.
 It is hardly necessary to spend so much time discussing the matter, as we understand the general office force of the railroad company is working night and day on a change on the pres ent arrangements.

The regular passenger is now night flyer and does not come any nearer Berry vile than Freeman.

NEWSPAPERS AND N. A. ROAD.

The exceedingly liberal manner in which the newspapers have indulged in criticism of the new schedule of trains on the NJ. & N. A. road reminds The Tribune of an editorial We printed in 1905, when the management of the cosd withdrew the customary exchange of courtesics with the newspapers.
 While we felt keenly the inconven- fence at the time, We expressed the be- lief that the railroad people had com mitted an error that would work much more to theirow disadvantage than it would to the newspaper men, while the public would eventually be the Rainer.
 A AnewspapermanW with 'pasteboard' d' in his pocket generally finds it conven- tent to explain and defend a company that takes care of him. As the matter nov stands, the editors along the North Arkansas are under practic- ally no obligations to the road from a patronage standpoint and as conse- quencc they feel free to condemn on short notice any action of the company that doesn't appear to suit the public. In fact, we would suggest that some of them are too liberal along this line. It looks now like the company is going to be forced to change it's man. ner of running trains in order to cater to the demands of the public, whose in terests the newspapers have champion ed. Criticism should have been with held until the new schedule is given a far test.
