Remakina the postofflce.

The increased density of mail traffic, due to rural free delivery. has made possible, feasible and profitable the reorganization of the United States postofllce, in progress under Postmaster General Hitch cock. As long as the postofIice car ried the mail to a mans door in the city and made him gor for it in the country the mail of the former grew and the mail of the latter was rel- atively stationary. With rural free delivery rural mail becomes rev. enue producing.
 This has not only been used to wipe out the postal deficit, but it IS the basis of great changes in pro- gress. In three weeks, by Septem- Der 8, 526 first-class offices and i,773 second-class offices will be postal banks. The receipts at these, already large, are mere drops of the shower which will come when all the third and fourth-class offices are postal savings banks. So far, the postal savings. banks have been nearly all in territory already hav- ling some savings banks, many or few, according to the state and city.
 The rural districts have no savings banks and they have from 60 to 70 per cent of the population of the land and as large share of it's thrift. In few years hoarding of the postal banks will match the de- posIts in savings banks, and these will have grown as fast as ever. A parcels post will follow, first
 for the rural free delivery, where
 the postotllce department alnaaa.. i iiias its delivery teams going from door to door. This once begun there

was not a single shipment of auto- mobiles. The past year 2i motor cars were received in Mena over the Kansas City Southern.
 The ticket sales of the Kansas City Southern at this place for the year ending September i, i9iO were S46, ,292.69, as compared with $i6,595.- 76 the past twelve months, a very small increase, but last year a big Galveston excursion in August ran the sales up to a high figure, and one train, The Traveller, has been dis continued the past three months. Considering these things. a gain of any sort is good showing.
 And here's another straw" show. ing Mena's tendency since the di- vision removal.
 The bank deposits in the middle of September, 1910, were $3li, ,700.t6; September i5 this year they were Si93, 792.99, an increase of $i52,092.- S3, certainly very healthy growth for any little city.
 Conservative estimates give the number of new families locating in Mena the past year at 100, and a large part of these are buying the very best of the homes given up by the railroad employees and spend- ing thousands of dollars in improv- sng them, while others are huild- ing anew.
 There have been built during the past few months six brick business buildings and as many more of less expensive kind, and a number of new business firms have located here and are operating successfully.
 The stamp sales of the postofflce for this quarter show a healthy in- crease over the same quarter of last year, and the Antlers hotel shows a ii per cent increase in business.
 All in all, somehow we just can't mourn over Mena as dead" city.
 What do you think about it?

THE TRUE TEST TRIED IN MENA IT HAS STOOD
 THE TEST.

The hardest test is the test of time, and Doan's Kidney Pills have stood it we'll in Mena. Kidney suf- ferers can hardly ask for stronger proof than the following:
 Samuel Badt, ene Seventh Seventh Street, Mena, Ark, says: 'I have not changed my mind regarding Doan's Kidney Pills since I publicly in- dorsed them in 1908, and I never let an opportunity go by to advise the use of this preparation. My cure has been lasting"
 The above was the substance of Mir. Badt's conversation when he was interviewed on March 2t, 1911. His former statement given in 1908 was as follows: @Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly the best kidney medicine ever used and many people to whom have recommend ed them consider them an ideal preparation for weak kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of backache that had annoyed me for almost two years and they also re- stored my kidneys to a normal con- dition.r

CRAWFORDCOUNTY
 TAXES TO GARTER
Texarkana Jurist Invades Extreme Northern County of District and Wins Friends for Con-
 gressional Candidacy.
Under tho heading, "Carter Makes

Under the heading, Garter Makes Fine Impression" the Alma News has the following concerning Judge Carter's visit to Crawford county:
 Judge J. Nj. Carter of Texarkana, one of the candidates for congress from this district, made a very fine impression upon our people in his speech here last Monday. Judge Carter proved himself to be an able speaker and a deep thinker and as we have stated before he does not resort to demagogic statements to carry his point, rather relying on a plain statement of facts.
 ITO meet Judge Carter is to be- come his friend and to talk to him or hear him speak convinces one readily of his qualifications for the position he is seeking While he lives in the extreme southern pat of the district, and was known in this vicinity only by his reputation as cir it judge of is district, yet the people of Crawford county knew that in Judge Carter they had a man of ability seeking suffrage at their hands.
 His visit to Alma and his address to the voters only served to strengthen their opinion"
 Judge Carter stands high in his own county as man and a jurist, and his many friends there feel that his qualifications are such as will make him especially valuable to Arkansas should he succeed in his aspirations to represnt the Fourth district in Congress. From the above it would seem that he also is capable of winning friends on his merits where he is not so well known.

Itomatic also is the bill introduced
 and earnestly defended by Senator
 Owen. which provides for the elec-
 ton and recall of Federal judges. The main cause Of this increas-
 ingly critical attitude toward the court lies on the surface. The as-
 sumed power of the judiciary to set aside acts of congress and of state legislatures has of late years been
 so extended that any act is now in danger of failing through the flne- spun logic of a divided court. In- stances in which this has happened are so numerous and recent that specific references seem to be un-
 necessary. Upon this unwarranted
 judicial meddling with legislation Senator Owen relied largely in de-
 lending his bill.
 A little bill introduced by Sen ator Bourne toward the close of the extra session contains a remedy that would in great part, at once relieve the courts from the growing burden of popular impatience. The bill provides that the Supreme court shall not set aside as unconstitu- tional any act of congress or of state legislature, except by unani- nous decision. Senator Bourne quotes from an old decision of the Supreme court itself:
 Tt is but a decent respect to the wisdom, the integrity and the pa- triotism of the legislative body by which any law is passed to presume in favor of it's validity until it's violation of the constitution is proved beyond all reasonable doubt"
 Certainly when four out of nine members of the court hold an act to be unconstitutional it's violation of the constitution cannot have been proved beyond reasonable doubt. If even one member of that great court holds the act to be con- stitutional the doubt is so great that the court has no defensibe right to set the act aside. If President Taft wishes to stop the agitation for re- call of judges he should recommend that all appellate courts forthwith adopt the spirit of Senator Bournes bill:-Saturday Evening Post.

A NEW RADIUM HOSPITAL.
Not a Drop of Medicine in a Lon
 don Institution.


 London.--A hospital containing not a dose of medicine nor sur- geon's knife-a veritable hospital of magic--has been opened in Lon- don.
 The new Radium Institute-the second radium hospital in the world-owes it's existence to the suggestions of the late King Ed ward.
 Apart from the necessary appa- ratus, the sole stock in trade" of this new, handsome building, oppo- site the Queens Hall, consists of a few biackish specks of mysterious substance which could easily be placed on a watch glass. Mir. A. E. Hayward Pinch, F. R. c. S., is the medical superintendent. Poor patients, who pay nothing they cannot be treated without a certificate from thelr medical ad- 5ise-and paying patients have separate apartments, but rich and poor receive exactly the same at tention. On the first and second floors are the rooms where radium lis supplied.
 To estimate the total value of the radium in the institute is practi- cally impossible, said the medical superintendent. It has been esti- mated at between $250,000 and $300,- 900 by other authorities.

IMENA A YEAR AGO AND NOW.

A year ago September i5 the kan- IS City Southern moved its division criminals from Mena.
 During the months prior to that vent, there were hundreds and thousands of people, many Mena ltizens included, who could see othing through the clouds of de- pair but woe, calamity, ruination. There even was a fund of thousands 'f dollars raised and expended to undertake to prevent the removal of ae terminals, together with hun reds of railroad employees; com . littees were sent to New York, and
 sewhere but all in vain.
 Then the blow fell. The change ok place according to schedule. But somehow, the next day saw

LION ATTACKED LITTLE GIRL.
Going Too Near a Cage, Girl Was
 Dangerously Injured.

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. i5.-Clawed and bitten by huge lion in side show at the state fair this after noon, Laura Burns, years old, of Morrisville, is in a dangerous con- dition at a hospital today.
 Cages of lions were roped of to keep spectators four or five feet from the cage. The girl slipped un- der the rope barrier. A lion reached out and fastened it's claws in her head. The beast drew the child to the cage, despite her screams. With the other paw the lion clawed at the child's face and tried to draw her through the bars. Attendants rushed to the child's assistance, but not until it had been beaten with bars did the infuriated animal re- lease the girl.

count of being unable to attend the re-
union, sent the flag by Mr.. Smith.
