 RUN FOR GOVERNOR
The Attorney General Made Formal Announcement That He Will Be in Race Two Years Hence
 Prtfers Short Campaign.

From the Gazette
 Al Drm, Geucral Ha Norw ood ,es erd announced that he will be a candidate for governor a, the next state Democratic pri mary. which will be held two years from the present time. Ia making the announcement MT. Narwood declare l that no matter who is Tn the race for Unite d States senator or governor he will be candidate to succeed Cover TOT George w. Donaehey.
 It has been reported in political circles for some time that Attor. ney General Norwood intended to become a candidate for governor, but MT. Norwooi gave out the first statement 10 the public yes- terday as the result of question from Gazette reporter as to the truth of the reports.
 "It is my intention to be a can didate for governor, Mir. Nor. wood replied without hesitation.
 When Mir. Norwood was asked if his candidacy might be effected by the lineup of candidates ia the race for either governor or United States senator he replied in the negative. He declared that the condi'ious in either race would not affect his candidacy.
 Does Not Seek Long Campaign.
 "I don't mean to indicate by making th.s statement now that I am in favor of long campaign because the shorter the campaign the better 1t will suit me-" de- clared MT. Nor wood. Il will, as long as l am attorney general, have a great deal of work to do and will necessarily be pressed for time, but my intention is now to be m the race and if some oth- CT candidate starts campaign at such a time as will make it long and drawnout I'll be in 1t any way"
 Mr. Norwood was asked as 10 what issues he intended to make prominent in his campaign. He replied that It is too early to dis cuss that Ill Utter, as many things might happen between DOW and the time of the campaign that would develop issues in guber- material campaign. He also stat. ed that he thought statement as to his possible platform would be discourteous to Governor Don aghey who may, before the com pletion of his term, carry out cer- tain projects which might now be gubernatorial issues, but would not be in two years.
 He was also asked as to when be would probably open his cam. paign. He replied that it IS also too early to answer that question and that this would depend 10 no small extent on what his opposi- ton would do.
 Many Candidates From This Office.
 Attorney General Norwood will be the seventh attorney general to seeK gubernatorial honors. Simon P. Hughes, Dan w. Jones, James P. Clarke and Jeff Davis went from the attorney generals office to the governors office. The othertwo aspirauts were defeated.

BAPTISTS FAIL TO
 RAISE FULL FUND
Campaign for Mission Money Results in 20 Per Cent Increase. However, Over Last Year-S25,787
 Raised.

Little Rock, May }. = The campaign of the Arkansa baptists tor home and foreign mission money for this year end- ed Sunday night at midnight. The sum sought for the cause of foreign missions was SIS, 900, and and for home missions was SIS, 000 These amounts were not realized in full, although a gain of nearly 20 per cent was made oyer the amounts raised last year.
 Up to the closing of the books last night SIS, lS7 had been re- celved for foreign missions and Sl2,600 tor home missions. Rev. J. $. Rogers, secretary of the State Mission Board, said the campaign was highly successful, and far surpassed the expections of some of the leaders in results He thinks that but for the recent cold spell and the great damage to fruit and other crops, the entire sum sought might have been realized.
 Jonesboro Church Leads.
 The First Baptist church of Jonesboro led in off fferings to both homo and foreign missions. This church gave to home missions sS3l.50, and to foreign missions Sl,000. Among other large gifts may be mentioned those of the First Baptist church of Little Rock, which was $825 to home missions, and the Beech Street church of Texarkana, gave to the two causes S900.
 A telegram from Rev. k. ] Williugham, secretary of the For e.gn Mission Board of the entire South, located at Richmond, Va, announces receipts of oyer S50O,. 900 for the year, and states that slight indebtedness rests upon the board.
 The special car bearing the Ar kansas delegates to the annual sessions of the Southern Baptist Convention, which meets in Balti- more May lilo, will leave Little Rock next Monday night. Al ready reservations to the number of about 30 have been made, and It is expected that several others will join the party.

HAS RIGHT TO SHARE &
. y: .5= IN LABoR'S BARGAIN

Many centuries ago an employer
of labor, in the face Of q threat
ened strike in his vineyard over
the payment Of a full days wage
to those who had come to work
at the eleventh hour, asked a ques-
ton that has had many repetitions
lis it not lawful for me to do
what I will with mine own?" 9.
The force of the implied pre-
negative on the part of the en-
ployer was so great that the work
men at once subsidized. What right
had they to interfere with the
conduct Of the business of their
boss?
The employer Of today has not
ceased to resort to the reasoning
of the ancient grape king. When
asked TO make some concession to
labor or to arbitrate differences
between him and his employees,
he declares that in order to win
success he must have complete con-
troll of his own affairs; and he
asks HSha11 r MT corG,rot my,
business in my own way?"
1t takes two to make a bar
gain. - Yes. 1t also takes two
to make business. And one of
them is the man of labor.
He is not piece Of machinery.
He is not a beast of burden. He
is not a slave. He is man who
speaks as Burns spoke:

And when the editor enters his
workshop he leaves his convictions
behind him, content to be merely one
of the many laborers associated in
producing each day certain product.
The young lad, when he first goes
into journalism, looks to It as a
burning with great ideas that he be-
lieves the world needs to hear.
But his back is soon broken and he
becomes wage-slave with no more
interest in the product of his labor
than the workman who spends his
life in producing shoddy shoes.
He finds himself cog in the ma.
chine and learns to tick as regularly
as a clock, just like the> millions OF
other toilers who labor to build UP

that humorous bit of mockery.
Early journalism was largely a
vulgar, personal, individual thing.
An editor, like an old-time crafts
man, was producing something that
expressed his individuality.
He often owned the paper, worked
at the case with his compositors, and
personally solicited his ADVERTISE
ments.
He lived down" among the people
and usually shared their democratic
views.
Wall street was about as far from
him as it is from the hunky in the
Chicago stockyards.
The newspaper was his tool and he
used it not only as political weapon
but often as a blackjack to club his
personal enemies.
Today the newspaper is powerful
capitalist institution. It is a big,
modern, complex machine.
Its news Is supplied by q trust
which has its agents at work In every
city of the world. .@H ,,,>, .:.<x

mated by men Of wealth, whose as

finance. -
The newspapers themselves are
great organizations that require q
great capital and the editors and
writer's, like the compositors and
newsboys, are hired hands.
They accept the policy of the pa
per, they do not make It.
Their convictions are about as i'm
portant working asset to them a.
convictions are to the laborer. who
digs ditch. . -:
The writer's learn very quickly that
the paper they work for belongs to
capitalists who are using It to. fight
their political and financial battles
and that their first duty is to promote
the interests of the boss.
They go just as any other hired
hand from paper to paper regardless
of whether 1t Is a Democratic, Re-
publican, a Morgan, a Hearst or q

block the game of the labor lead
ers and convince the public they
have hoodwinked 50 often that
they are the victims Of false &C
cusations and that they are really
the, most philanthropic and bene-
VIOLENT institution on the face of
the earth. l.
But the shrewd observer cannot
help but notice three points in
the sly moves of this powerful
combine.
First the pensions are given in
such manner, with such strings at
tached, as to tie their men to their
jobs, no matter what burdensome
conditions Of toll may be enforced.
1t is simply a sugar coated method
of purchasing slaves.
These pensions are brides to
divert the attention of the workers
from the great injustices being
perpetrated upon them and to
divide these workers against them
selves that no concerted action
looking to strike or organization
may be possible.
Again they are concessions to
gain truce, a breathing spell in
the merciless war, during which
the trust may strengthen its re-
doubts, repair any breaches that
have been made in it's defenses by
the onslaughts of organized labor
and place itself in an impregnable
position from which it may deris.
