A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

of Arkansas have announced their
positions on the whiskey question.
Candidate Norwood believes in stat
utory statewide prohibition. He
wants the next general assembly
to pass a statewide prohibition law
and does not believe the whiSkey
question should be left to a vote of
the people, because, he says, the
negro vote would hold the balance
of power and carry the state wet"
Mr.. Norwood says no man has a
moral right to sell whiskey, and
that the right to do so is purely a
legal one given by the legislature
He declares that no vote was ever
taken in the state to determine
whether or not whiskey should be
sold and that there is no need OF a
vote of the people to say that the
sale shall be stopped. lie says a
great majority Of the white citizen
ship of the state wants the sale OF
whiskey stopped and the wishes of
this majority should be complied
with directly by the legislature and
not allowed to be defeated in an ell
ection. Candidate Donaghey favors
the submission of the whiskey
question to the people for settle
ment. Candidate Robinson does
not believe statewide legislation is
advisable at this time, and is the
local option candidate. In support
of his ideas on the question of pro-
hibition he can point to the fact
that under local option laws the
state is fast going dry" At pres
ent more than sixty of the seventy
five counties of Arkansas have BAN
ished the saloon, which is good evil
dence of the efficiency of local op-
ton laws, and a better record than
can be shown by some states that
have tried or are now trying state
wide prohibition laws.
Whatever view of the prohibition
question the reader may take, and
whatever gubernatorial candidate
he may be inclined to support in
his views on the whiskey problem,
we want to call attention to the
fact that the paramount question
before the people of this state is
that of taxation. The question OF
who shall be governor and who
shall 90 to the state senate and to
the house of representatives should
be determined upon the candidates
ideas of taxing the people, Other
questions are important, of course,
but no matter gets close to so many
people as that of taxation. If the
candidate can be found whose
views are sound on taxation and on
other questions as well, so much
the better.
f. :: :.
The question, what shall the
people pay for government has
always been paramount. Go as far
back into history as you will and
you will find that taxation is the
thing of greatest interest to those
who had the government to sup
port. Exorbitant taxation upon
the people has caused many rev.
olution and revolt. The situation
right here in Arkansas is not I'M
precedented. A depleted public
treasury, heavy debts laid upon the
taxpayers by politicians and those
in authority, the reckless appropri-
alton and expenditure Of the public
funds Is nothing new. The same
things have a record running
through the centuries,
" " "
The paramount issue In Arkan-
sas is, or ought to be, TAXATION
Don't be carried away with any
other propositions that the candi-

the party. PerhapS the greatest
cause for rejoicing in the democrat
ic ranks is found in the fact that
Kentucky came back into the fold
after having been in the republican
column for four years. That state
elected a democratic legislature
and a state ticket Of the same faith.
James B. McCreary, who was elect
ed governor, is an interesting po-
litical character. He is now 73
years of age and was governor OF
Kentucky more than thirty years
ago, since which time he has serv-
ed in the United States senate and
held other important positions by
gift of the people of Kentucky. lie
is a democratic war-horse, and is
described as a campaigner of much
strength and ability. Evidently
James B. McCreary, even if he is
way up in years, is still the one
best bet in Kentucky.

The Bank of Gentry failed a few
days ago and a crowd of angry de-
positors was about to lynch the
cashier when officers arrived and
prevented the deed. And that
makes us think of it: 1t is said
that a bank failure is unknown in
all the history Of China, where the
law demands that the heads Of
defaultine bankers shall be remov-
ed from their shoulders by the use
of a sharp knife.

THE USE OF ARSENIC.
How the Poison Acts When Taken as

How the Poison Acts When Taken as
Complexion Beautifier.
"You no doubt have observed the lily
white complexion of some women.
These women are sacrificing years of
their lives for that beautiful skin by
the use of arsenic" said a chemist of
Manchester, England.
at is a well known fact that thou
sands of women in all countries of the
world use the poison in small quaint
ties to bleach their skin. 1t is an eff
fective means of whitening and clear
ing the complexion, but the complex
ion given by its use has no perma'
nency unless the absorption of the drug
be continued.
arsenic, as science has long told US.
is an accumulative poison. When one
takes it either by prescription for the
upbuilding of ain appetite or for the
bleaching of the skin he does not fee
any i'll effects for several years. The
effect of the drug is bracing and makes
a person feel like eating. 1t also aids
the digestion. The average user OF
the poison takes it in such small guam
titles that he does not realize how
much of it will accumulate in his sys
/ tenn in the course of four or FIVE years
"BelnG an accumulative poison,
often takes that length of time to sc'
the results of the drug, Then the use
may complain of not being able to Goa
! troll his fingers or toes. Subsequeutl'
he loses control of his hands and arms
Paralysis, superinduced by arsen1ca
poisoning, is the fearful result.-Wasf

LlNcoLm's QUESTION.
II Skilled the Storm Of Applique, For
His Opponent, Doueiss,


Professor James L. McLeary Of
Mankato, Mimi, who for fourteen
years represented district of his
state in congress- told this Lincoln
story:
"a friend of mine told me that when
a boy he attended with his father one
of the famous Lincoln Douglas de-
bates in Illinois. My friends father
was a Lincoln man, but the place in
which that particular debate took
place was Douglas stronghold.
douglas spoke first, and he was
frequently interrupted by vociferous
applause. The cheering and the hand
clapping at the end lasted four or FIVE
minutes. When Lincoln was intro
duced the crowd broke out into cheeSs
for Douglas and kept 1t up for several
minutes. Lincoln meanwhile waited
patiently
"When at length the enthusiasm had
subsidized Lincoln extended his long
right arm for silence. When he had
partly got this he said in an impress
sive tone, What an orator Judge
Douglas is!'
"This unexpected tribute to their
friend set the audience wild with en-
thusiasm. When this applause had
run its course Lincoln, extending his
hand again, this time obtained silence
more easily.
"'What fine presence Judge Dou
las hasv exclaimed the speaker ear
nestly. Again tumultuous applause fol
lowed the tribute.
allow well rounded his sentences
are! How well chosen his language
is! How apt his Illustrations are!
ending up with, What splendid man
Judge Douglas is!'
"Then when the audience had again
become silent at his call Lincoln lean
ed forward and said:
"'And now. my countrymen. how
many of you can tell me one. thing
Judge Douglas saidT
"N1y friend told me he searched his
own heart for an answer and found
none. Afterward he asked his father
If he could remember anything Judge
Douglas had said. and the latter re-
membered practically nothing. But
my friend said to me impressively
even now, half century later, can
recall practically all that Lincoln
said "-EXchange.
