I Troy Roddy, a seventeen-year~old
, lad of NeWburg is perhaps the
youngest Methodist preacher in the
state. Young Roddy delivers ser
mons quite frequently in different
localities of lizard county, and it is
said his efforts are not at all bad.
David Brock, convicted and SEN
fenced to hang for the murder OF
James Parsons, has been granted a
stay of execution and will not hang
next Tuesday at Newport, the date
formerly set for the execution.
Brock, it is said, shows signs of in
sanity, and on that account action
in his case has been indefinitely
postponed.
The Boston Boomers, an aggre-
cation of ball players, a majority
of whom are girls, are in this sec
ton of the state, they having lately
crossed bats with the teams of Hox-
lie, Mammoth Spring and other
points along the Frisco. 1t is said
the Boomers put up a stiff game
and that any team has to 90 some
to best them.
Mrs Nora Sanders, an aged lady
of Hoxie, met with an accident at
Walnut Ridge one day recently
! which resulted in her death.
] She was driving horse, which be-
! came frightened and ran down the
street, overturnine the buggy and
, throwing her to the sidewalk. Mrs.
Sanders sustained fractured skull
= and other serious injuries, which
proved fatal a short time after she
: reached Little Rock, where she was
taken for treatment.
One of the Oldest citizens of Bax-
ter county IS Uncle Jess" Copeland,
whose home is in Mountain Home.
Uncle Jess" it is stated, is a unique
old character-one who up to his
declining years saw service In many
departments of life, and the mem
ory of none is more indelibly i'm
printed in his mind than the long
struggle he had with printers ink.
He is a printer Of the old school,
a veteran of a profession which
casts both gloom and pleasure in
the followers life, thus rendering its
attractiveness. Such old-timers as
Uncle Jess" are indeed rare In the
newspaper field in this day. They
are not only thinned out by the
Grim Reaper, but they, together
with many operators of the Wash
ineton hand press, are forced to
seek the means of living In some
other field Of labor because Of the
advent of modern improvements
which render their services dispen-
sible. Yet to these fellows Is due
all credit; they maintained pro-
fession through hard circumstances.

pledge its member of the legislature
TO work for short session. The
people should keep sharp track OF
their members Of the legislature

There are degrees in murder.
There are different kinds OF rob-
berry. There are men who steal
under cover of darkness or in day
lieht under circumstances to their
advantage. r hey rob chicken
coops or banks, barns or stores.
They are thieves-just pla n
thieves-for whom the public is
always on the watchout with eyes
of suspicion. There are other men
who, by reason of great wealth and
through the combination of great
wealth, rob the homes of the people
day after day with the regularity
of the sunrise They rob the people
when they sit down at the breakfast
table to partake of the necessities
of life. They rob the people in
midday and at night when they
light their lamps filled with STAN
dard Oil. But these men are not
thieves-they are financiers and
business men. The plain thief is
breaking the law, and when he is
caught he goes to the penitentiary'
The "financier" and business man
is breaking the law, and when he is
caught he goes to the United States
Senate-Or sends a man. Then
there is polite robbery, or robbery
according to law. The man who
accepts remuneration for services
which he has not performed is
guilty of this sort of pilfering. The
man who accepts dollar which he
has not earned accepts a dollar
which somebody else has earned.
That dollar belongs rightfully to
the man who earned it, or to any
purpose to which he sees fit to
place it--certainly it does not be-
long riehtfully to him who has not
earned it. No amount Of political
sophistry can Get around tie fact
that it is not right to accept pay
for something you have not done
There Is a good deal of polite,
lawful robbery going on in this
state by men who would not loot
your chicken coop or bank, barn or

A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

The legislature convened Monday

4 Don't criticise the legislature, you
say. Oh, no, don't never raise your
voice against a wrong; don't never
fire on a prowler or expose a hum
bug. Just simply lay down and
be tramped to death; literally have
your pockets picked; take your med
icine like a man whatever or how
bitter it is-but, for goodness sake,
don't say anything or crit'.ise any
body; that's ugly This thing Of
taking whatever comes without
complaint Or resistance Is just about
what's the matter with this state
today. The cowardly, cringing,
apolosetic, sycophantic attitude OF
the newspapers, the preachers and
the men in public life toward other
men in public life who commit
depreciation against the public well
fare Is largely responsible for the
rotten conditions which now exist,
and which will continue to exist 80
long as there is abject, lamb-like
submission on the part Of those
who are being leeced to the sharp
shears of those who are doing the
fleeing. The coward Is all right In
his place, we suppose, but where Is
the towards placer We don't
know; at home under the bed, per-
haps.
Certainly the people Of Arkansas
will not soon forget the lessons
learned from the sessions Of the
present legislature. Before very
long there will be another leeisla-
ture to elect, and there can be no
mistakes made II those who do the
voting will Give an intelligent study
to the records of those who offer
themselves as candidates for the
legislature and base their ballot

and requires a great deal of careful

Chester Sixsmith made a hit as
Tom Carter, Mrs. Greys brother, who
makes up as fake Uncle Tom"
| The part of the real Uncle Tom was
taken by Fred Henshaw. whose ap-
| pearance and dialect were very good.
The role of Dorothy Landon, sec
reilly engaged To Tom Carte, WAS
tawen by Miss LYDIA Wrigh,. who
made an excellent impression as an
actress of the ingenious type. In
several scenes Miss Wright displayed
great histrionic ability.
Robert Anderson, as Bob Grey. and
Harold Pemberton as the father of
Dorothy Landon, are two young men
who, while they may never be Rich
ard Mansfields, have a very good
idea of how acting is done and make
favorable impression on the stage.
Paul Mccoy was a real Irish police

production.

TO make up as Uncle Tom and serve

actions of the fake Uncle Tom mys

in search of burglars and fires
imagined by Mr.. Wycombe, are made.
Then the real Uncle Tom returns
Unexpectedly and the real and the
false appear in the dining room at

he is seeing double because of his
indigestion.
Complication after complication en-
sues The false Uncle Tom tele-
phones the police to arrest the real
one and then goes on the street in
his makeup, only to be arrested
himself. The real Uncle Tom tells
Carriers sweetheart about his own
love affairs, thus confirming what
Mrs. Wycombe has said. Altogether
