HORATIO WILL FIGHT
Goes Before Legislature to Force Kan sas City Southern to Stay Put"
 at That Point.

From tho DeQueen Bee
 A notice signed by ten citizens of Horatio is published in the Horatio Times that application will be made to the Arkansas legislature to have law enacted requiring the Kansas City Southern Railway Company and the Texarkana & Fort Smith Railway Company, either or both of them. their lessees. successors or assigns, to maintain and keep a depot at the town of Horatio, Sevier county. at or near where the present depot is now located, for the accommodation of the travelling and shipping public; to keep the same open, and an agent there for the transaction of the usual 5usi- ness with which railway companies are generally charged with doing and transacting; and also to require the said railway companies aforesaid, their lessees, successors or assigns. to give the said town and the public, the usual local freight and passenger ser vice, and to run to and from the said depot, making the usual stops thereat, all the local freight and passenger trains operated by said companies, their lessees, successors or assigns, through the said county.
 This step is evidently taken on ap- prehension that the Kansas City Southern may leave Horatio several miles off the line upon the completion of the present detour from DeQueen to Neil Springs.

 Prosecuting Attorney J, B. Wood. who had spent all the time, with the exception of one day, in the investiga- tion. left for his home in Hot Springs last night. He had a vast number of witnesses summoned and many of those who testified were recalled sev- eral times iii an effort to arrive at the truth of the killing. Judge Wood did not discuss the investigation before leaving and he was not here when the verdict was returned. While Judge Wood has had nothing to say at any time about the investigation, 1t is un- derstood that he has had great diff culty in getting witnesses to testify.
 Member of Minstrel Troupe.
 The negro Wilkes was member of negro minstrel troupe that gave a performance in the local theater last Friday night During the performance there was much disturbance among some young men in attendance. It became so objectionable that a num- Der of those in attendance left before 1t was over. After the performance members of the negro troupe were at. tackled as they were going to theiI boarding house. Wilkes was brained with club while he was pleading fol mercy. Other members of the troupe including two women and man, were badly cut and bruised. but were not fatally hurt.

moral views. The organization of modern business is along impersonal lines. SO that the in iividual in his re- lations is brought more and more into contact with corporations and less and less into contact with the direct per sonal interests ofmen. This conner cial tendency will warp the Golden Rule as surely as the sun will warp the birchen board. Ordinary dishon- esty between man and man will al- ways be rightly judged but Lamb struck the key to this moral difficulty
 when he said. in The Old Margate
 Hoy" the smuggler is the only hon est thief He robs nothing but the revenue-and an abstraction l never greatly cared about The elimina- tion of personality carries with it the temptation to eliminate the moral ele- ment. To transfer one of Leckey's figures, the danger from this insidious, corrupting notion does not lie merely in the possibility that corporations may lose some of their prosperity, but that the people may. in spirit at least, become band of thieves.
 The schools can meet this sagging tendency in the foundation of person. al honesty in corporation age only by strengthening the conviction that when an unrighteous thing is done the great injury falls upon the doer; by establishing the single, gold standard of morality on the motive of the doer and not on the consequences to the victim. The effect of this commer- cial tendency will be the more inevit- able and irretrievable because it is not an intentional moral influence, but blind force, smoking the peoples morals into its vortex.
 In Spain education is probably more nearly useless for the general purposes of life than in any other civilized country, because it runs it's own course, without touching the great interests of the people. The real value of country's educational system is determined by the degree to which it is adapted to influence help fully the practical life of the popula- tion There are several noteworthy tendencies in our American life which have been clearly recognized, and to a slight degree, provided for in the schools. Among the most important is the effect of our methods of busi- ness organization on the personal life of the workers. The big stores, fac tories and similar institutions have drawn the girls away from home. Even when they live at home, while they are wage earners. they are largely relieved from home duties. The economic drift is tending to make girls less willing and less competent to be home-makers. In former days they cooked and sewed from necessi- ty and got some training for mother hood by caring for brothers and sis ters. It was stern training. AL though the schools cannot make do- mestic experts they can, by giving the elements of domestic science, plant desire and awaken ability along those lines of activity that are most
 closely related to the moral welfare. (To be costinued)

Moral Training in the Public School.
lcontinued from last week }

But we still have core of mora soundness. We decline to surrender the old ideals to the morality of shrewd ness, and will not give homage to in tcllectual greatness coupled witt moral weakness. We enjoy the ora tions of Demosthenes, but despise hin because his record is befouled by tho putrid fact that he was a chronic bribe' taker. We admire Webster for his mental power, but he cannot com mand the homage of the American heart as Washington and Lincolir have it, because when the hour O sacrifice came he sacrificed righteous. ness instead of personal ambition The simple hearted man with the gold en threads of self-sacriice and heroic rectitude running through his career is still the American ideal
 History, our own experience and sober feeling of thoughtful people, all warn us that the general welfare depends upon integrity and purity, and not on intellectual and commer- cial power.
 At the outset moral training in the schools encounters grave difficulty in the feeling that ethical lessons alone will not solve the people S moral prob lems There is in every civilization a powerful undertow of moral tendency which individuals as such can do lit tie to check or change The general mind drifts rather than reasons itsell towards or away from its problems. The needs, desires, tasks, the reason, feeling, imagination, all contribute to the creation of general opinon or common sense, which moves after the fashion of a sober system, through what might be termed moral space, Within the mass there seems to be nothing but counter currents of indi- vidual purposes, passions and ambi- tions. The secular drift goes on fol the most part unrecognized. It the public schools are to make any worthy contribution to the moral training ol the people, they will have to take into account the great moral drift of the people as a whole.
 One of the most profound changes that has ever come over the spiritua life of civilized men is now working itself out Its moral significance has been recognized only by thoughtful men. Scientific ways of thinking and working have brought with them the conviction that all things physical intellectual, social, political--are sub ject to law. Under the cold height O this intellectual mood everything seems to lose its moral significance Fear of ill and hope of good have botf suffered, and reverence has shrunl preceptibly. The tendency has not only touched the cultured, but it has become especially characteristic of tho more thoughtful part of the working masses. If the moral training of the schools is to be effective, it will have to use this governing tendency. by do ing it's work on the broad basis O general principles.
 Another recent tendency still more seriously threatens to effect our older

Twenty eight Applications.

2 Dr. Shibley states that there are more than enough applications to fill the institution to its capacity. There are now 28 applicants desiring admis- sion to the sanatorium and there is only room in the institution for about ten more patients. It is expected that the institution will be filled to capacity by the first of next month. Already the womens quarters are crowded and in one or two instances patients doubled up for lack of room. The number Of male and female pa tients is now about equally divided.
