In the Seventh Congressional DIS
trict the voters have three candi-
dates from which to select their
choice for Representative at the pri-
mary election to be held on Sept. 9th.
These gentlemen are all worthy and
competent for the position to which
they aspire, and we have endea vored
to be fair in presenting their claims
before the people. They have all
paid to have their claims thus pre-
scented, and like ali newspapers hav-
ing space for rent We ha We given them
place to have their say. This is un-
derstood by the candidates them
selves, and all intelligent readers un-
derstand this to be the case. But
there is a large class OF persons who
do not understand this una tier, as to
how and why three men should be
presented by "A newspaper, and all
urged us competent and worthy for
the same position; and this question
having been ruised we desire to state
our position so it cannot be misun-
,lerstood.
As matter of fact the personal
preference of this editor is for Mr..
PHO, and We propose to cast our
vote for him in the primary election.
Notwithstanding this fact, we are
informed that some of Mr.. Pujo's
friends feel offended that we gave
place to Mr.. Reid's address last week,
knocking" both Mr.. Pujo and Mr..
Bailey in his efforts to win with the
populace. So far as his criticisms Of
Mr.. Pujo are concerned, they were
used against him in the other cam
paigns without effect, and we feel
sure they will not weigh greatly at
this time. We admit Mr.. Reid's
charge that Mr.. Pujo's ability has
attracted the attention of number
OF wealthy corporations, who retain
his services by pa lying for them. This
is the very reason we think he should
be in Congress; because he is capable
and ambitious to serve the people
and leave an honorable name to pos
terity, and he has given ample evil
dence OF his desire to doso. His sue
cess in reducing the assessment of
the Sulphur Mine corporation from
ten million dollars to three million
dollars. shows that his Judgment
was good and his contention fair.
The courts upheld his plea and con-
demned the assessors valuation as
extravaganza and unwarranted; and
the State Board Of Equalization has
approved and accepted the lesser
valuation as just and proper.
We admire MIR. Pujo because he has
done things and provoked criticism.
He is not afraid to follow his cOnvic
tions as to what is right. He stands
by bis record, and is willing to be
judged by it before an unbiased pub
lie. He is not averse to discuss his
actions fully and freely before the
people. The two matters above re-
ferred to, and the fact that his known
ability has caused him to be selected
as member of the National Bank
ing Commission, are about all of the
Charges" that we have seen brought
against him. These charges convict
him of being the very best man to
keep 10 Congress. So, without dis
pa:aging the worth or merit of any
other candidate, we regard him the
most useful man We can elect.

Pujo Has a Good Meeting.

fuJO has GOOo meeting.
Hon. A. p. Pujo, present Congress
man from this district, who aspires
to reelection to this important Office,
which he has filed with signal bility
and satisfaction to the people, ad-
dressed about a hundred citizens IN
the Colfax court house on Thursday
at noon.
Mr.. Pujo was accompanied by bis
secretary, Mr.. Gauthier, and Judge
John N. Ogden, of 0pelousas.
Capt. c. FL. Teal was called upon
to preside over the meeting, and H. G.
Goodwin aud E. A. Mathis were re-
quested to act as secretaries.
Judge Ogden was the first speaker,
and paid a glowing tribute to the
worth and merit OF Mr.. Pujo, whose
good acts in Congress he said were
SO numerous he scarcely knew which
to enumerate, being like person in
u flower garden so surrounded with
beauty he could hardly select the
most beautiful. He named the secur.
ing Of $3.50, 900 for the improvement
OF Calcasieu Pass. 800, 900 for Mel.
mentau river, the entering wedge aud
first link in the great Intercostal Ca
nal, that is to cost Approximately
100000 to complete. Mr.. Pujo's
vote on sugar and rice he warmly
commended, and said he felt sure
none of his opponents dare contend
against them if they hope to win any
votes in this district. The Judge
paid his respects to Mr. Bailey as a
resident OF the 9Th district, but seek
ing election in the 7th. He thought
this least among Mr.. Bailey's dis
qualifca tions for the Office, and he
named three or four that he thought
entirely disqualified him AS the prop
er person to seek to displace Mr.. Pu-
10 in his eminent and satisfactory
work on behalf of the people. The
Judges remarks were well received
and he was given frequentapplause.
Capt. Teal in presenting Mr.. Pujo
mentioned one matter the people of
this section are interested in which
he thought the Judge had overlook
ed, and that was lumber, on which
question Mr.. Pujo's vote was emf
nently proper and satisfactory.
Mr.. Pujo was roundly applauded
when he arose to speak. He gavean
interesting, earnest and very lucid
account of some of his principal acts
in Congress, and stated the reasons
for bis course. AS we have just re-
ceived a list of more than twenty
measures ADVOCATED by Mr.. Pujo,
which will be published next week,
we will not here enumerate the mat
tiers related by him. Suffice it to say
bis sentiments met with ready ap-
pfause by his audience, and it was
plainly evident that his acts and his
reasons therefor were in accord and
sympathy with his hearers.

 The prisoners counsel who had never been known to pnblic. ly advocate the abolition of the liquor traffic had the following to. say: That hell-tire liquor de- prived the prisoner of his reason, and he goes on and on like ray ing maniac, without power to control himself, and commits these awful deeds.

Move To Stimulate Commerce

Malvern, Nov. 11-(SpeciaD- - A movement has been started here by citizens for the adoption af a state law granting water power site companies eminent domain over land needed for their projects. A petition to Governor Donaghey, asking him to recommend such legislation is receiving signatures. Itis urged that the passage of such a law would be a tremendous factor in developing the state having ten denCy to promote power gener- ating plants in all parts of the state thus inducing manufactur- ing plants, traction lines and other enterprises requiring cleo tric power at cheap rates, to To- cate in Arkansas.

Fire Saves Arkansas From New Sur

Excelsior Springs, Mo. Nov II NSpeclal)-Arhansas is saved It required the destruction of "The Elms," one of the most beautiful and expensive hotels of this re. sort to effect the salvation but from the standpoint of the people or Arkansas the ill wind for the Films blew the Bear State a great deal of good. For in the confa- grafton perished a manuscript of a book which was to be the SC. quel of "A Slow Train through Arkansas. "
 The author, who wrote the aooye mentioned book, Thomas w. Jackson, had just completed another one about Arkansas which would probably have done the state about as much harm as the first. He was just putting the finishing chapters to it here when the fire came along de- stroying the hotel and incidental ly the manuscript of Jackson s new book. Jackson himself barely escaped with his life.
 Jackson is inconsolable, al though he says he will yet write the book. He said today II had been offered a big price for my book. While 1 have the trend of

ARKANSAS NEWS NOTES

Fort Smith has another murder mystery on hand. Jas. A. Eden was slugged in the railroad yards there. Alter being taken to the hospital and being apparently on the road to recovery he left his bed and after walking across the floor fell dead. Six suspects have been arrested.
 Garland county is fearing for her financial credit if a suit brought by the Security Bank of Hot Springs to mandamus the county collector to pay a warrant dated 1914 is won by the bank. There are thousands of dollars worth of such warrants out standing and the question as to whether county warrant post dated can be collected before the time stated is an interesting one for all the counties in the state.
 Another joke which came near resulting fatally has been sprung A Texarkana man, T. W. Dunn, told girl employee that a young man she had mentioned favor ably was liar, a drunkard and theft. When she had become properly incensed he explained that the young man lies when he sleeps, drinks quantities of water and steals from bad com pany" When the girl saw the joke she was so impressed she tried to spring it on the young man. She got only to the first part however when he flew from the room and finding Dunn as saulted him. The assailant's name is Kiddwell, probably because he doesn't "kid well".
