SkaggS Case Again

!" Paragould, Feb. l2.-The crimi.
nal and civil cases against Prof. w.
L. Skaggs, school teacher, which
were to be called at this term Of
court, will be tried at Piggott, in
Clay county, the defendant having
secured change of venue due on
the grounds that he did not believe
he could get a fair trial here.
These cases are the outcome Of
numerous charge made by Skaggs
through small paper called the
Educational News" against mem.
bers of the Paragould School Board.
Skaggs was severe in his arraign-
ment of some of the members call
ing them by name and charging
them with embezzlement and falsi-
flying records.
The last grand jury returned two
indictments against Skaggs for
libel. In the meantime w. H.
Johnson, who took the school
census of 1908, and who had been
the object of Skaggs wrath in pub
lie print, instituted civil proceed
ings for $4,000 damages. Skaggs
was formerly superintendent of the
public schools of this city, but dur
ing the past two years he has been
steadily engaged in school work.
Last fall he was given the principal
ship of the public schools at Wal
nut Ridge and is now living there.
He is one of the best known educa.
tors in this section Of the state and
owns considerable property in Ran
dolpb county. The trial promises
to be'sensational for Skaggs will
attempt to prove that his charges
against members of the ParagouTd
board are true.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
WITH OUR POETS
Peace

Peace on earth, good will to men,"
Let us proclaim with tongue and pen;
Let this spirit round us hover.
Drawing one man TO another:
Let 1t penetrate the soul.
Lift it TO higher goal;
Let it govern every life
.And,remove all bitter strife.
Let us go no more to battle
Like herd Of angry cattle;
Let US hear no more the rattle
OF the cruel iron shackle,
That makes OF man, slave,
Drags him early to the grave.
But let's put away the "hatchet"
And stop all this weary racket.
From the heights of Calvary's hill,
Come these words, Peace, be STILL"
IT'S what Jesus did proclaim;
Let the thought reach every land,
Even every heather strand,
Till the nations. hand in hand.
All become one peaceful band.
bright celestial day.
Nomore a grand array
To fight bloody fray!
The Illuminating light
Has stopped the battles might,
And men join hands in peace
And all old feuds release.
This glad day doth appear,
o. may it soon be here,
Removing every fear
And drying every tear!

It is generally the history of such cases as this that the thoughtless persons who get in- to the trouble never realize that they are making criminals of themselves until they wake up behind prison bars, or are caught in the meshes of the law, that they are thus outraging.
 This is a law abiding country and there is no man, nor set of men, who can willfully destroy property and disregard law as has been done without being ap- prehended and punished.
 It's going to be pretty hard jolt on those who are responsible for the depredations when the officers of the law close in on them.
 NOW is the best time for them to cease from driving trouble bands around their own lives.

Lawlessness That's Dan.
 gerous.

Reports have been made that a number of four wire fences in Monroe county have been cut re- gently on Cypress Ridge, Pea Ridge and even down near Clar- endon, by some party or parties operating under the cover of darkness.
 The depredations have in some instances been a very great hard ship on the land owners many of whom were not able to stand the loss caused by these thoughtless persons engaged in this remon- strance against the present four wire fence law.
 The object of this notice is to convey if possible, to those en- gagged in this depreciation, a warning, which may prove of in- estimable value to them if it is needed.
 Surely those who have been engaged in this night work have been thoughtless or else they would not invite trouble on them selves. There has never been a case of this kind but what the guilty parties were caught and were made to pay severely for their depredations. It matters
The Brinkley argus., 1910-04-29

not how strong the band of night riders have been they're invar- iably been brought to time and the punishment for outraging the law is always hard. These, Whoever they are) as sure as life, will be caught if they con- tinue their depredations and then comes their punishment.
 It's foolish and thoughtless in them to invite trouble on them selves and then besides fail in the very purpose they seek to accomplish. It is the invariable rule in every state that where ever these unlawful remon- strances have been tried against the death of the no fence" practice that 1t has resulted in the passage of the most string ent stock laws in even a shorter time than in sections where peo- pie didn't try to resist by unlaw- ful force. There's a way for them to do away with the four wire fence if they really desire it and that way is the ONLY way that will stick.
 And too THAT way does not endanger the life and freedom of those who are seeking the change. It doesn't make crim- inal and law breaker, or a des- perado out of a man either.
