MORTALITY RATE IN
 ARKANSAS REDUCED
Royal Arcanum Official Says East ern Section Is Particularly Health ful-Grand Council Seen
 for This State.

"It is surprising how the mortality rate of Arkansas is being reduced" said c. H. Hayden of Indianapolis yesterday afternoon, "and it prob ably will startle the native residents to learn that that part of the state lying east of the Iron Mountain rail- way and north of Parallel 34, which runs just south of Pine Bluff, will compare favorably with any North ern state in point of mortality, and the rate of that section is lower than that of several states which are gen. erally conceded to be more healthfu] than Arkansas
 MT. Hayden is deputy supreme re- gent of the Royal Arcanum and is now temporarily in charge of the work of the order in this state for the purpose of increasing it's mem- bership to number sufficiently large to entitle Arkansas to a grand coun- cil This is in pursuance of move ment started last summer which was followed on September 23, with 9 banquet in this city, at which Su- preme Regent Clovis H. Bowen Of Pawtucket, R. l., was the guest of Quapaw Council No. 97 of Little Rock.
 Quapaw Council held special meeting yesterday afternoon in the offices of Gen. B. w. Green in the State National Bank building for the purpose of laying plans to inau- gurate a campaign for new members and MT. Hayden was present to give the members the benefit of his knowledge of such work.
 Learns True Condition.
 MT. Hayden already has visited several of the councils over the state and it was on tour for that purpose that he made study of the mortality rate and found that it was great deal lower than he had expected tc find it. In fact, he said. the Royal Arcanum had not made much ef- fort heretofore to secure members in this state because of the high mor- tality rate believed to exist. While on the trip he materially increased the membership of each council he visited, doubling and more than doub- ling some of them.
 ''The outlook is so fine,' said MT Hayden yesterday, "that feel safe ln saying that grand council of the Royal Arcanum will be instituted i1 Little Rock in the latter part o1 April, and the supreme officers will be in attendance. This will be ir time to give Arkansas representation in the Supreme Council at St. Louis in May.
 "The Royal Arcanum was organiz ed in Boston on June 30, 1877, start ing with nine members. It now has PAS, ,OO0 in the United States and a re serve fund of $6.7s7 ,o00. It has pa.t out 36,S0O. .000 to beneficiaries. O this amount Arkansas has received $4,O00,000. To the beneficiaries O members who have died in Littl' Rock we have paid close to $370. .000.'

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. A.
One thing sticks out in the gov
eminent report on child and wom-

the wretched workers are en-
shaved, and they are powerless to
escape from the bondage. Men,
women and babies are being
ground to death in the spinning
frames and looms.

employers keep the toilers in
dense ignorance and then turn
that ignorance to advantage by
persuading dull minds that the
chains are not calling. All is a
huge, ingenious device to keep the
poor whites in bondage, leaving
them no alternative but to fur
nish their babies and frail women
for the Industrial uses of their
masters.
There is even the social ostra-
cism that slaves know. Other
