variety in the little Rep. sheet called
yellow Jacket"-on the Socialist
case.
Now, in the first place, the Y. J.
would not have printed that squib
had it not been colored against the
Socialists; for the Y. J. never prints
anything except colored or one
sided matter. II it ever printed the
truth in all it's life, about anything it
accidently stumbled upon-for it

observer on what the capitalist press,
both Demand Rep. are saying on cur
rent events, and I see clearly that
the Punch and Judy press have ex-
plotted the Sinclair case for all it's
worth, in order to make cheap poll
teal capital-they always do that.
They, Of course, try to make it APP
pear that simply because Sinclair
and Heron had some trouble with
their wives thousands Of Democrats
and Republicans have the same) that
the entire Socialist movement is
J
tract-against the family and in ia
Yor Of ''free love"
It is not because the universal
bourgeois and capitalists minded re-
tanners symathize with the Sinclair
and Heron families and other like
them that they have so much to say
about those cases. No, no, not that
at all; if so, they would take up some
Of the hundreds Of the same kind of
cases whose principal actors are
Democrats and Republicans, and ex-
plot them too. But that would be
against the gam,e--it would not pay

talist dailies every day almost, Of
separations. divorces and breach of
promise suits. The press is full of
them-and yet, not word is said
about their politics, unless some of
them happen to be Socialists. Sig
nifcant? Well, l should smile. The
"old, old story of love betrayed, is
told over and over with clock-liba
regularity every day, by the capital
talist neWspapars-and thousands of
those cases are never published.
Among those of them who see
daylight through the press, however,
they never say that such and such a
Democrat has been separated from
his family and has taken up with
Bill Jones wife, or that such and
such a Republican has betrayed Mary
Johnson and will not ever support
the child. No darling, but in all
these Benightad States Of Morgan,
let one or two Socialists have trouble
of their own and it is Immediately
heralded to the four corners Of the
earth, that Socialists are opposed to
marriage and in favor of free love"
See?
just because breckenridge and Gle
veland and some others practioad
free love-, is that pointed to as an
evidence that the Democratic party
is free love" party? Just be
cause Jefferson had a few illegiti-
mate children, does that make the
Democratic party opposed to mar
riage-opposed to the family?
Carl Marx did not practice free
love- and ''free love" is not even
side issue with Bebel-next to Marx
the greatest Socialist that ever lived.
Not even the capitalist press has
s;.id that they did. Neither of them
were opposed to the family. Each
one of them had one wife. Chat is

Help Wanted-One Flirt..

Special to Independent.
 Spokane, Wash, Sept. 15.- Chief Doust of the Spokane po- lice department, is ready and willing to pay a handsome sala- " to a young woman with a pretty face and engaging man. ners to act as official flirt. Els corts will be provided. He also had job for a female imperson- ator, with a knockout punch in each hand. The purpose of at taching these new officials to the department is to discourage the practice of men accosting women and girls in the streets. Numerous complaints have reached the department during the last week that women with out escorts have been singled out by curb mashers and invited to ride in automobiles. Several arrests were made and in each instance it was found that the prisoners were recent arrivals from Eastern cities. Chief Doust has determined to SUD- press this element and to secure quick action he has decided to engage an official flirt to rout the oglers and smirkers. The police say that Spokane has been singularly free from the genus masher" until this summer, when scores Hooked in from Eastern and coast cities.

 Little Rock, Sept. 15. Thousands of dollars has been contributed by citizens and oth- CTS during the last few months to bring public schools over the state up to the requirements for state aid," said Prof. B. w.

In other places, such as Mountain View, valuable property has been donated to the schools.
 The department is anxious to secure a complete list of these donations for tabulatian and publication, and asks the secre-. taries of all Boards that have re- ceived such aid to report at their earliest convenience.

Compton Wins a Point.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 15.--For- mer County Judge w. A. Comp ton, of Pulaski county, who has been a resident of Marianna, Lee county, for the last. ten years, has won an important point in the appeal of a felony case to the supreme court. He was convicted last spring of having embedded $100 of school funds as a member of the Mari anna school board, and after a hard-fought trial and one mis- trial, was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
 An appeal was taken to the supreme court. Now comes the attorney general and confesses error, admitting that the indict- ment is fatally defective in fail ing to mention that the alleged offense was against the peace and dignity of the state, and that it does not allege facts suf- ficient to give the court jurisdic- tion. These conditions being true, the attorney general asks that the case be reversed and the indictment quashed. The friends of Judge Compton, who is a son of former associate justice of the supreme court, have all the time contended that the alleged offense was largely technical in error.

New Record In Land Values.

A new record price for Inde- pendence county land was estab- lished a few days ago when four tracts of land near Newark sold for S85 and $90 per acre, re- spectively.
 c. M. Edwards purchased 179 acres, for which he paid S15,215, or S85 per acre. The transac- tion included 120 acres owned by Dr. V. L. Pascoe; 40 acres own ed by J. P. Magness and 19 acres owned by R. T. Magness.
 The land lies in a solid block and is situated about a mile south of Newark in the famous Big Bottom, which is noted for it's great yields of corn, cotton and alfalfa.
 Since the above mentioned deal was consumated, Dr. A. A. Evans purchased 63 acres from w. R. Williamson, for which he paid MT. Williamson S90 per acre.
 This is the highest price ever paid for land in this section of the county and establishes a new high record for land values. The highest price ever paid for land here previous to these deals was $73 per acre. - Newark Journal.

SEED SELECTION
 VERY IMPORTANT
How to Pick Seed That z Will Bring Most Profitable
 Returns Next Year.

The Sins of the Father are, visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth gen. eration." This is especially ap- plicable in the case of cotton and corn. Get your cotton seed from the leavings at the gin and scoop your corn seed from the leavings in the crib, and the Biblical ad age will most certainly be full filled. For the amount of time and labor involved, seed selec- tion is the most profitable of the farmers work.
 The question of cotton seed selection is very important just now because of the boll-weevil. The cotton belt will suffer very materially unless earlier and better cotton and hardier varie- ties of cotton are quickly devel- oped.
 An early fruiting and early maturing variety should be se- lected. The plant should not have too large leaves, should be sturdy and stocky built. It should be vigorous and have plenty of fruit limbs on the low CT half. The joints of the fruit limbs and of the stalk should be short. The bolls should be large and storm resisting and the lint should represent at least 33 Is per cent of the cotton.
 1 After the stalks have been se- lected, then during picking time be careful to select seed cotton ! from these stalks. The choicest bolls from near the middle ct the stalk should be selected. 10 not select from the top as Ehe bolls there tend to mature late l Do not select from near the ground since those bolls absorb too much moisture and conse. quently do not have quite as much vitality and germinating power.
 l After you have picked your seed cotton put it in a dry place. By payment of small sum in addition to the regular ginning price special attention in ginning your seed cotton may be secured.
 Do not forget the corn seed selection. From the best stalks select the best ears. Put these away by themselves in some dry place.

 culture.
