COUNTS PRICE OF PROGRESS
Writer Considers Race Has paio Highly for Development of
 Past Century.

What, then, let us ask, has Dec the price of this century of unprece' dented progress? To begin with we have grown distrustful of enthusiasm, and have become somewhat cynical and superficial withal. We skim the surface of life, without time to make our impressions our own. we are on the way to become spiritually m poverished people, somewhat lacking In the generous qualities which can sustain a great friendship or a splen- did dream. We are ultra-sophistlcated. yet easily deluded. In the place or rest, appreciation. we have acquired unrest. We are like men who, while following the chase. have forgotten what is the quarry. If 1t Is happiness we are pursuing, who knows but what she has doubled on her tracks and Is now behind us! Yet we strain breath lessly forward. never pausing to ask ITO what purpose?'
 Having become cogs in the great machine that we ourselves have build ed, how are we to snatch opportunity for thought. for contemplation. TOT the leisurely savoring of life. amid the ceaseless whirring of the wheels? Is mediocrity to be the price the race must pay for it's civilization? The modern schedule leaves no time for the secretion of those by-products ol the soul which give joy and distinc- tion to life. If the race continues to cut itself off more and more from this sustaining communion, where at last will we turn for leaders, or even for men?-W. c. Roberts, in Crafts man

opponent in the home county of his opponent, which he did not visit and where he is not known personally to fifty people is also remarkable.
 His personality must have been inn pressive with the voters wherever he went during his campaign, for he says, in his interview, that he only lost five of the many counties he vls- tied. We are sorry to say that one of these was Greene. He visited this county and made a fine impression but lost it because the people of the county wanted to compliment Harry Grayson, home boy, who held po- sition under MT. Tucker, the oppon- ent of MT. Hodges. The vote was not for Tucker, sentimentally speak ing, but for Harry Grayson. With Harry out Hodges would have won hands down in Greene county. But Harry's friends are chagrined now by the news that comes from Little Rock that he has lost his position with Mr. Tucker. Harry came home three days before the election and worked like a Trojan for his chief carried the county for him only to be fired as soon as he got back to Lit l tie Rock This the friends of Harry consider base ingratitude for he was an efficient man in the office of the commissioner and did the bulk of the work and was always at his post of duty. Had the people of Greene county known what was coming tc Harry they would have given the vote
 of the county to Hodges by an over.
 whelming majority. The next time they have an opportunity to vote fol | Earle Hodges we believe they will
 show their appreciation of him in ar emphatic manner.
 The Soliphone considers Earle Hodges one of the coming men of Arkansas. His political star is just i beginning to rise. Its zenith will find him high up in the political fir mament-Paragould Soliphone.

Cats as Human Food.

The Brussels correspondent of the New York Herald (Paris edition) notes that in Brussels cat Is consid. cred a delicious food in some classes. Workmen in breweries fatten cats and turn them into stew.
 Edward Topsel, who wrote learned ly about the cat of his History of Fourfooted beasts was published in l607-was of the opinion that the flesh of cats can seldom be free from poi son. "by reason of their daily food, eating rats and mice, wrens and other birds which feed on poison, and above all the brain of 9 cat Is most poiso.. ous, for 1t being above measure dry, .:toppeth the animal spirits, that they cannot pass into the ventricle. by reason whereof memory faileth. and the infected person walleth into a Phrenzie." But Topsel was prejudicec against the cat. The people of Savu. who lived the natural life when Capt. Cook visited them, preferred cats to sheep and goats. In Germany many a cat has been sold for hare. and jugged cat has been relished there by foreign sojourners. The handsome daughter of landlady far up in the Canton Vaud told us as a matter of course that when the snow was deep and communion was cut ofY, they all ate cats.

HODGES REMARKABLE CAM
 PAIGN.

In another column we reproduce from the Arkansas Democrat brief and breezy sketch of Earle Hodges, the young man who has recently been nominated for secretary of state. His campaign was one of the most re- markable that has been pulled off in Arkansas in many day. He will be the youngest man ever elected to state office in Arkansas, according to the Democrat, and we believe that he will make the state a most efficient officer. He takes pride in his work, puts his soul into it, does 1t well and works late at night, if necessary, to accomplish the task before him. He is a young man of good morals, strict ly sober, is ambitious and one of the best friend makers in the state. Start ing as country printer he married while yet in his teens and took upon himself family responsibilities at an age in life when most boys are sowing their wild oats. He has never sown any and hence has no crop to reap. His example is worthy of emulation, it is an example to inspire the youth of the state with hope for better things as the result of fidelity to duty.
 Considering the fact that he had never held any office except a clerk ship in the auditors office, that he was comparatively unknown, of boy ish appearance and that his opponent has, for two terms, held an important state office, is member of the na- tional Democratic committee and is considered a smooth politician, man past middle age and native of the state, with record behind him as an officer before being elected to state office, we say that Earle Hodges ran a remarkable race.
 The splendid reputation that Mir. Hodges enjoys as a citizen is reflect ed in the vote from the communities where he has lived and where the people know him personally and that he should come within 54 votes of his

SUNSHINE NOT GOOD FOR ALL
Blonde Races Fail to Thrive in GIL mate Like That of the Amer
 ican Northwest.

Charles F. Woodruff of Manila, P. l.. discusses in the Medical Record the physical degeneration that is found to occur in north European races when they settle in the dry, bright atmos phere of the American northwest. Although the first generation does we'll, the second one is feeble. easily attacked by tuberculosis and other chronic diseases, and the families die out in a few generations. The bru- nette races do we'll in bright sunshine, because they are accustomed to 1t. while the blondes are made nervous by it. But it is the northern blonde races that give us the strong brains that we need to perpetuate our na- tion. and these do not come from the brunette races of the south. It is i'm portant for us to preserve these blonde types, and to that end it is necessary that physicians should ad- wise them to keep from the influences that iniure then The best Aryan blood Is being wasted from our na- ton at present Scandinavian coloni- zat!on is impossible in the tropics.
