The editor Of this paper has been
accused of not telling the truth and
we plead guilty to the charge. We
do not print all the truth all the
time because we do not wish the
town and community TO have to suf-
fer the consequences. We try to
print the news and such things as
will help and encourage our citizens
along the way through life. Doubt
less we would all enjoy reading
"the truth" when it's about the other
fellow, but our policy has always
been to turn such business as that
over to idle gossipers, who have
nothing else to do.

The Mammoth Spring Democrat
came out last week with a strong
three-column article condemning
the lower house Of the Arkansas
Legislature for its failure to pass the
bill appropriating $500 for the re-
moval of the remains for former
Governor Drew, to Pocahontas for
reburial. The closing paragraph of
Bro. WhalquIst's article is as fol-
lows:
"Shall the remains of Governor
Drew continue to abide in a far off
distant state, in lonely neglected
grave covered by the wild Cactus
and the Maskeet its only fence being
the Chapparell thicket or must and
will the patriotic, thoughtful people
of the state raise the amount by pri.
vate donation and do that which our
Legislature has refused and bring
back to Randolph county and give
1T decent burial by the side of his
wife and children and in the soil of
the state he loved so well and for
which he did so much. Fulton
county Will stretch forth her arms
and clasp hands with her sister
county of Randolph in an effort of
this KIDD and while the Democrat is
poor and has large family to sup.
port we will donate $500 to this
cause.

The men folks over at Williford
tell us that the ladies of that town,
through an organization which they
perfected some time ago, have done
more to clean up the town morally;
done more toward improving the
public buildings of the town, the
school and churches, and all in a
short time, than the men had ever
accomplished. 1t simply takes the
interest of women to do this sort
of work for the town. Men can't
or won't. In most every town may
be found faithful band of women
working for the betterment of So
ciety and for a better, cleaner town.
Their efforts are always rewarded
with success. And we have no
doubt it could be easily ascertalned
that, everywhere, these women are
not concerned in the agitation for
votes for women except no doubt
they are not in sympathy with the
movement Sharp County Record.

For Better Roads

Gtisa fact, well known to every

that we are sadly in need oil Oe''er

them. 1t is well known tact that
we will never have good roads un'

adopted and the man who can start
a movement that will secure the de-

SATURDAY, APRIL IS, 1911.
UNEXPECTED WISDOM.

For more than generation Repub-
licans have viewed an occasional
Democratic congress with complacen-
cy. If not to say gleeful anticipa-
ton, confident the, said Democratic
majority would make foolish breaks
that would violently throw back the
pendulum of public opinion in favor
of Republication for another long
lease of power.
That there was abundant cause
for Republican gleefulness history
records.
It was SO in the middle eighties
when Horizontal Bill Morrison broush
forward the acme of tariff bill folly
It was so in the early nineties when
a Democratic senate, as clearly bos-
sed by big interests, especially by
the malodrous sugar trust, as ever
a senate was, played such sad havoc
with Professor Wilson's tariff bill,
that President Cleveland called 1t
party perfidy and dishonor, allowing
It to become law without his sig
nature.
Democrats have had no chance to
make fools of themselves from that
time till now but Republicans confid-
emily counted that the bourbon ele-
ment still predominated.
In this 1t seems they counted their
chickens before they were Matched
VI say seems, for only start has
been made and before this time next
year lots may happen.
But the Democratic majority is
making a fine start. At the caucus
the other day, reciprocity with Can
ada was endorsed and Tafts meas
ure will be passed thru the house
without amendment, but following
right on its heels will come FAR
MERS' FREE LIST.
The main objection to Canadian
reciprocity has been that 1t removed
duties off farmers products but moi
off farmers needs. The Democrat
ic caucus says what's sauce for the
goose Is fair tidbit for the gander
and SO the tariff will be taken of
lot OF things the farmer has to
buy, such as agricultural implements
wire fencing, boots, shoes and sad
dies, baling wire. cotton bagging, cot
ton ties, bagging ties, burlap ant
,,lt.
On many OF these articles the
present tariff is practically prohibi
''vs and there are few importations
~ that account.
And this is not the end Of the unes
nected wisdom.
The two foregoing measures will
not stand in the way Of immediate
Introduction of three other importan
measures-popular elections Of sen
ators, publicity before election o

tive Endorsement that are veritable
revelation. Only recently certain facts
have been brought to light through the
threatened resignation of a number of
employees in one of the most advanced
hospitals of this city, which go to prove
that even those most hardened to the
sight of suffering have a limit-facts
vigorously excluded from publicity.
Not until the people are sufficiently en-
lightened upon the conditions can any
degree of success be hoped for by the
Society for Humane Control OF signifi-
canoe in this direction Is the verdict of
some Of the leading surgeons and prac-
titioners Of the country that experiments
upon the living animal are not only de-
void of practical import, but distinctly
misleading.
The society received. a marked impetus
about a year since through the enthusi-
astic efforts of Rev. DIR. Ernest Smith,
whose sermon from the pulpit of st.
Thomas Church aroused widespread in
terest. to the increase of membership.
1t is to the suggestion of DIR. Smith that
number of the leading clergymen OF
the city have agreed to devote at least
one Sunday a year to the preaching Of
the cause.
The masses are not Indifferent, but
ignorant, and when their eyes are once
opened to the true situation they will
rise as one to demand that the glorious
results Of science be no longer fouled
by such fiendish practices.
