Donaghey Still a Sphinx.

 Little Rock, Oct. 2O.-When Governor Donaghey was asked if there was any truth in the re- port that the chancery decision on the Turner-Jacobson bill would have any effect upon his political attitude, he said:
 -s'I have nothing whatever to say about it at this time. Just let them keep guessing. You remember the old Revolutionary general who said to his men, Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes Well, I am waiting till l see the whites of their eyes"

 SHOW INCREASES
l In Assessments As Result of
 Boards of Equalization Work.

Special to Independent
 Little Rock, Oct. IS. Reports are coming in constantly from various Boards of Equalizations over the state, showing that they are actively engaged in the work of settling the tax lists to the satisfaction of all concerned
 lin rare instances.
 s"The work is more thorough, more systematic and more pains taking than ever before in the history of the state" said Chair man Burge of the Tax Comnlis- sion
 The county judge of Hemp stead county put up to the Board the proposition that the state should pay one half the ex- pense of the Equalizers, as they pay one-half of the cost of the assessment, but there is nothing in the law to authorize this, and the counties must continue to pay all the expenses cf equaliza- tion
 Benton county reports a big increase, but that the equaliza- tion is being made on an aver age basis of about 25 per cent, one of the lowest in the state. Logan reports an increase of about$275. .OOO. Good increases are reported in Jackson, Frank lin, Fulton, Baxter, Saline, Gle burn and Searcy. The increase in Washington will be small, and chiefly in Fayttevile. There is none in Izard and Marion, and very small increase in Boone. Carroll lost $345,OOO last year, and will do we'll to regain this amount in the present assess ment.
 The mountain counties, as a rule, assess above the average to provide sufficient funds to keep up their county expenses and their schools, and many Of them get back more from the state than they pay.

Belng a member or the cnurcn won't save you. You have got to live up to the Christian stan, dard.
 How many professed Chris tians of Newport have an influ- ence with sinners for good. You must live above the things of the world to have an influence for good.
 Less than 25 per cent of the church membership of Newport attend church services at every opportunity. The rest come when it is convenient. One side serves God and glorify him, the balance serve him when there is nothing of interest to serve in the world. To which side do you 1 belong?
 The devil tells you lie wher 1 he says you cannot be a Chris I tian and run your business al the same time. Mir. Professional and Business Man, you can be a Christian and be a better busi- ness man, doctor or lawyer at l the same time.
 Many men and many women serve the goddess of fame and money to the neglect of their souls, striving to become rich and famous and just when they apparently have reached the pin nacle of their earthly ambition, death comes and their spirit is waited away to face the awful judgment of the God they would not serve.

IN HOTEL HAZEL
Broke Out About 10:3O Thurs day Night in Rear of Colo
 mel Paul's Office.

l Thursday night, the alarm being turned in about 1O:3O o'clock and brought a ready response in 1 the fire department and large crowd of citizens attracted by curiosity and a desire to help in case the confagration proved se- rious.
 The Hazel hotel was filled with smoke and just how bad the fire was, could not be told at first. 1 l The front door of Colonel PauPs office was broken through and al stream of water played over the entire office though the blaze was largely confined to the rear. The dense smoke indicating a more advanced fire, caused the fire boys to rather lose their bet 1 ter judgment and the water damage to the office supplies of Colonel Paul was much heavier than it should have been. Miss Alice Bishop, the capable assistant of Colonel Paul in the Grand Secretary's office, proved tho heroine of the occasion and when Colonel Paul was refused entrance to his office to secure valuable records, Miss Bishop with the help of several young men secured entrance through a door from the Hazel dining room and removed the books of the lodge that could never have been replaced.
 The heaviest losers were the owners of the building Wolff and Goldman, whose damage is plac- ed at $500, which is fully cov- cred by insurance.
 Colonel Paul owned individual ly much of the furniture and furnishings of the office and es- inmates his personal loss at $500; with insurance at $4OO. The Grand Lodge, I. O. o. F. has property in records, station cry, desks, typewriters, address |ographs and other things valued at $500, with insurance of $1,- 900. The lodges loss is proba- lbly about $500, which is thus fully covered.
 John A. Creesinger of the Ho- ltel Hazel estimates his loss at $500, which is fully covered. The groceries and supplies car ried in the storeroom to the rear of the grand secretary's office were all badly damaged by wa l ter.
 1 When the vlarm was commu- nicated to tl2a occupants of the various rooms, most of them
 fled pell mell and with 'scant at
 tire to the McLain across the
 corner. In fact next morning
 MT. Creesinger did not know
 whether he had any of his guests.
 Another loss to the hotel pro- lprietor was in the dining room silver, much of which had been stolen during the fire, as watch men were employed to look after the exposed property for the re- mainder of the night. w. H. Snetzer was delegated early the next morning to make an estimate on the loss of the building, which will be put back in first class condition at once. The hotel property is not dam aged to any extent that will in- terfere with good service.
 Colonel Paul was assigned the storeroom to the north and the furnishings and fixtures that were saved, were carried into t11is place. which will be used for

WHAT THE SCHOOLS NEED.

@vHE city schools had better get themselves a business manager.
The sum tentatively accredited to them in the 1912 budget is
$3o,379 600, which is S~1,27s,oOO more than last year and
nearly one-ixth of the budget. 1t is too big a sum, and the school
system has too big a plant, to be administered h%aphazard.
School boards elsewhere know the value of a business manager.
The plan has worked well in Elizabeth. Richard f. Clement, Super
intsndent Of Schools in the New Jersey city, says in his annual report:
"Our Board Of Education employs q business manager who devotes
six days each week in the discharge of the duties of his Office. He
b capable and conscientious, eminenty practical and well informed,
b Q close student of conditions, and is constantly employed in plan
ming or in supervising repairs or betterment in or about our school
houses"
There is no adequate business management here, and can be
none 90 long as it is intrusted to mere committees Of the citizens that
constitute the Board Of Education. Nor is it a proper function Of
the City Superintendent of Schools. The charter thinkers laid finger
on Q real weakness, however faulty their remedy.
The Germans are wiser than we in municipal administration.
They have extended to many departments the practice of govern
msnt by voluntary bodies of citizens. But they always associate an
expert with q citizens committee. So should we.

4 BRITISH BARITONE called a meeting Of his creditors to
negotiate release from bankruptcy. Examination disclosed
that he had no assets at all. He was dismissed while the
creditors conferred. A cockncy music dealer who had come down
from London to the provincial town where the meeting was held said
ho must have something to show FOR carfare. Why not have the
baritone sing, and if he sang we'll, forgive his debts2 The other cred
itors agreed, and the singer was notified. He assented, and after a
moments reflection sang in tones that his auditors declared were
both thrilling and satisfying, "wait Till the Clouds Roll By"
The story is recalled by news in the marlborough Bulletin that
subway employees have organized "a military brass band and drum
corps combined Of fortyAve pieces" In the band are law clerks from
the claims department, conductors, motormen, guards, switchmen,
tskst agents and gatemen. Its objects are "or the further musical
Instruction Of its members, for the honor Of the subway, to inspire
patriotism and for the amusement Of employees"
Good objects, but the band misses an opportunity Fl it stops with
smussment Of employees. Why not use it in the traffic and claims
departments to cheer or console patrons? With forty-fve pieces to
draw from, every express station could be equipped with rush hour
bala How much better than the afronting' "step Lively!" to hear
the guards discourse "Trip Lightly Over TROUBLED, The Salvation
Army tune, eve Will Tear Hels Throne to Pieces" would give a
motif for the crush. at its Aercest. When swain and sweetheart were
parted the band could render "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" When
ever q patron was Aattened out it might inquire, "Has Anybody Here
Seem KeIly?" Services should begin and end with the Subway hymn,

The entire ~forty-fve pieces should be requisiioned for the claims

nsdes Of injured patrons would remove resentment and halve damage
suits. Where litigants were non-suited, would it not promote good
feeling to send the band around to render "Wait Till the Clouds
