GOVERNMENT SHOULD AID.

One of the most important sub
jects before the United States to-
day is placing the money-poor peo-
pie iii homes on the land, according
to the belief of Geo. e. BarstOw, for
mer president of the national irriga-
ton congress, which holds it's nine
teenth meeting in Chicago, December
5 to g. Mr.. Barstow says:
"My understanding, as discussed in
my address before the national irriga-
ton congress that convened at Spo-
has already passed a law providing
for the establishment of a bureau of
immigration, the purpose of which
is to aid in assisting the immigrants
coming to our shores to right un-
derStanding as to where they can
best locate upon lands for home
building This bureau is also to
work in conjunction with similar
bureaus created by the several states,
the better to accomplish that much
to-be-desired end. The Importance of
this step is realized when we consid-
er that over seventy-five per cent
of all the people coming from other
countries to our shores have been cul-
tivating the soil in their native lands.
"But should not the national gov
eminent, if not the state, go a step
further? A large percentage of i'm
migrants land at our great ports of
entry with insufficient money to
enable them to push out west or to
the southwest. Shall |, who have
always been broadly conservative,
be regarded as preaching paternal-
ism, or as sOcialistic in my purpose,
when suggesting that the duty of
the national government may be
found in providing, under proper
safeguard, fund which may be used
to make loans of suitable amounts
to enable this thrifty and frugal class
of people to locate their homes under
the government irrigation plants?
Does the duty of the state lie in
the care TO her INDECENT and needy?
Does her duty lie in the enlighten-
ment of her ignorant? Is her duty
found in the proper protection of her
people by creating such laws as to
protect her citizens in the pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness? Then,
lie along the lines of making such
wholesome provision for that part
of her true, though money-poor peo-
pie, as to obtain homes ON the land,
thereby creating a truer and nobler
citizenship, and whereby we shall re-
quire less almshouses and jails and
| sons?
Il believe this to be one of the
most important subjects that can oc-
cupy the serious attention of the
people of the United States at large,
and by their state legislatures and
the national congress at Wash
ington.
Nov, as I have said, we have the
bureau whose duty it is
to point out the land for the land
less man. But, we should supply by
legislation the missing link
in this vital economic chain, by pro-
viding for these worthy immigrant
farmers the money on reasonable
time and at a low ate of interest,
payment to be secured upon their
purchase of the public domain, of

THE STEl1ZLENS
 IN COURT AGAIN
This Time the Husband Files Suit For Divorce and Makes Serious Charges
 Against His Wife.

Manley $. Steltzlen, who was re- cently acquitted of a charge of non- support when arrested at the instance of his wife, Mrs Alice C. Steltzlen, and who figured in a divorce suit fil- ed some weeks ago by his wife, the suit being finally dismissed when a conciliation was effected, yesterday, through his attorneys, Sorrells and WhitelaW, brought suit in the Jeffer- son chancery court asking for an ab- solute divorce.
 The Steltzlens were married in this city on December 20, 1908. The plaintiff is brakeman on the Cotton Belt road. He charges his wife with infidelity and abuse and says that she sometimes drinks too much for her own good Recently, the plaintiff charges, he secured a position in Jonesboro and after renting house and buying all the necessaries of life he says he took his family there from Pine Bluff. Later his wife took their children and returned to her home in Pine Bluff

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept S.-Harry Clay Beattie Jr, stoic, Ii there ever was one; creature of un- believeable capacity to mask emotion listened unflinching tonight to 2
 tdict that doomed him to death in electric chair.
 Lshe twelve Virginia farmers who held his fate in their hands took only ufty-seven minutes to find him guil- ty of murder in the first degree. They were so eager to make known their Judgment that when asked for it they did not merely allow their foreman to reply; but they chorused it, all twelve:
 Guilty, guilty!! guilty!..'
 The expression of their faces, half filled with awe with what they had done, filled with pity for him, made no impression whatever upon the setrange boy Nor did the sole gaze of five hundred spectators or shouts of ss.Guilty" on the lawn outside; or the sclipping of dozen telegraph instru- ments almost at his ear, which were ending out to the country, the word kof his conviction.

SEWARD AND BELZNER WILL OPEN THEIR PLACE OF BUSI-
 NESS THIS MORNING
REQUEST IS REFUSED
Were Not Permitted to Remain In Business Under Old License Until
 Appeal Could be Heard.

After turning down the request of
 the Attorneys Danaher and Danahnr.
 counsel for Senyard and Belzner, To-
 cal saloonists, whose Main street bust. , ness house was recently closed by County Judge Philpot on the ground that they had not exercised due care
 ln complying with an agreement made
 with the county court in the issuance Of their license, providing that no
 gambling should be tolerated in tho
 building occupied by them. that of ficial granted them a new license for
 the remainder of this year and the
 saloon will reopen for business this morning.
 Judge Philpot had been asked to allow the saloon to continue in busi- ness until Judge Grace could hear the evidence in the case and either aD- prove or disapprove the order of the lower court The attorneys for the saloon men agreed that they should have the case heard within tic first week of the October term of the cir cuit or if not, then the order of the county court, revoking the license, should go into effect and the saloon closed. It was on an appeal that the attorneys hoped to get favorable ruling from the higher court
 Immediately after Judge Philpot gave notice that he would not grant the request yesterday, Senyard and Belzner applied for a new county li- cense, which was granted by Judge Philpot, with the additional under standing that all evidence or suspic- ion of gambling should be removed from the building occupied by the sa- loonists. The new license will cost the saloon firm $500. The city coun- Gil took no action in the matter, hence the old license granted the saloonists on January 1, 1911, remains in effect as does also the license issued them by the State. The city license is $1,000 and the State privilege $500. County Judge Philpot believes that in paying the $500 the saloon men have been punished. With attorneys fees and the loss of several days busi- ness while their place was closed, the saloon men have been put to an ex- pense of about $1,OOO or more, which includes the new county license cost ng $500.
 MT. Senyard, one of the proprietors 'f the place, was in Colorado, when he game of poker was pulled off in a 'oom over his building by s. c. "Coxey' Cross His partner, Will Belzner, who came here from Camden some months ago, testified that he knew absolutely nothing of the existence # the game over his saloon. As an vidence of the reliability of Mr. Belz- Ter as a witness, it was shown yes- erday by city official that large 'atch of letters had been sent here y prominent business men and off ials of Camden, in which they speak 'f Mr. Belzner in the highest terms. The letters were unsolicited, being ad- lressed to the Mayor and aldermen of he city of Pine Bluff. The writers leclare that they have known MT. 3elzner for years, that he is a high

oi lhe hlghWaNMan. Carefully he built mp from the evidence the States case that Beulah Binford has been the passion, the mania of this boy for years, that he turned to her again al the very time his wife was suffering the bangs of motherhood. That he wanted her, must have her, would do anything 10 possess her. .Ie proved, by simple logic. the planning of the crime, the opportunity for it's com mission.
 Next he broke Young Beatties $ spirit for a moment by denouncing t:m as a cheap murderer-cheap". He held up the suit of clothes the boy wore on fhe night of the killing and displayed the tailor's label showing that it had been made in 1908. Sheer ugly he pointed out that Beattie had worn his oldest, most useless suit on the night of the crime that ht, might save his other from becoming blood Henry's old story on the stand that he had bought his wife some candy only few minutes before the slaying. Bitterly he declared that It had been fifteen cents worth of candy cheap candy bought by cheap killer" The boy flushed crimson and elinched his fists angrily
 If you acquit this man. the Pro secutor then thundered, "go to the graves of Cluveaus, of McCue, of Ihil'ips,-the meanest, most miserable wife slayers that ever dis eraVed our state-dig down 10 their bddes. bring them up and apologize to them for having executed rhem Then put black band around the CSC hucheon of Virginia and wear il tn hat way for eternity

Tsere $ one verdict, gentlemen aid. that is guilty. And if you return that verdict every man and woman 0. Virginia will say, Well done, thou good and faithful ser wants 2
 Several Of inc jurors and dozen of spectators could not refrain from tears as the Prosecutor ended.
 Beattie was left tonight out at the little old jail house. closely guarded lest he endeavored to save himself from the electric chair by suicide. It is the belief of nine out of ten Vir- ginians that he will kill himself. But If he does they think it will be only after his last hope for a new trial or a communication of sentence to life has vanished.

When he returned from his visit he

Do Not Neglect Gardens.

The fact is notorious that the farm
ers garden is not as well cared for as
that of the artisan. In fact, it is in
many instances entirely wanting. Usu-
ally the larger the farm the more in
significant the garden. The excuse
given is that the farmer hasn't the
time. The answer to this is clear. A
good garden adds to the comfort and
enjoyment of the farmers family, and
aids in promoting health. No farmer
is justified in being so busy that he
cannot furnish what is essential to the
well being of his home.
