IS MUCH UNJUST FEELING AGAINST
 HOT SPRINGS
No City In the State Has Done More to Advertise Arkansas and Bring investments and Citizens Into Her Borders.

Two things are unfortunate for our state One is, that her people in gen eral know so little about the greatest health resort in the world, located in her territory The other is, wide spread prejudice, more or less viru- lent, against Hot Springs. This pre- judice has been created largely by the wild rawlings of visionary religious cranks, and alleged "reformers," who have branded the place as "a hell hole" etc. Another class of defamers are persons who have gone there to have a good time or to beat the other fellows game" have sought the dives and found sharper crooks than themselves. Lacking moral. courage to tell the truth as to how they were separated from their wads, they have cursed the town as community Of "grafters and thieves" There is, per haps, less truth in either of these stories than of any great resort of its nature anywhere in the world. Many of the leading churchmen of the coun- try have visited Hot Springs, studied conditions, and declared that in law enforcement and high moral and so- cial standards. Hot Springs will com pare with any city of it's size and character in the country.
 Admittedly the most renowned health resort in the world. Hot Springs is a distinction to the state, of which all her people should feel proud. They ought to learn more about this wonderful place and then they would think better of it. It has done more than any other agency or city to advertise Arkansas to the world. It has been the means of bringing more capital into the state for investment than any other city. Wealthy people from all sections go there for health or rest, who other wise would never have come to the state, have learned of our marvellous resources and made large invest ments in lands, timber, mineral and manufacturing industries. These in
The Prescott daily news., 1911-08-04

vestments have sought various sec tions of the state, and if full list of them could be told it would make a wonderful story. For these reasons the people all over the state should be proud of Hot Springs, should feel an interest in it's growth and ad- vancement, should send men to the legislature who could, at least have some appreciation of its importance to the whole state sufficiently to deal fairly with it in legislative matters.
 The unfounded prejudice against Hot Springs has, to some extent, mili- tated against the State Fair, because that institution is located there. The State Fair is not local to Hot Springs beyond the mere fact of being held there, an incident due solely to the fact that the owners of the Oaklawn the free use of their half-million dol lar plant to the people of the state for the purpose of the fair This fact Is entitled to some appreciation On the other hand, the location of the fair at Hot Springs adds greatly to its benefits to the state. No city in the state is so we'll equipped for comfortably taking care of the multi tudes who go to the fair, and at no other point would the resources of our state be so widely advertised to the outside world as there Be just and fair to Hot Springs. Boost the State Fair, for what it is-"of and for Arkansas"

show many other stories equally as amusing, but which would be a tragedy to the former owners if they could see the difference a few years have made.

Blind Tiger Men In the Tolls.

For some time it has been appar-

around Graham had been in active
operation, but all efforts to make a
capture had failed. Lately the coun-

ter special attention, and last week
Developments were rapid, and as a
result there is one white man and
two negroes in Jail, under convic-
tons carrying fines and Jail sent
ences. Last Saturday in county

violation of the local option law,
and fined 500 in one case and 500
and ten days in Jail ia another, and

Crusade Against Impure Foods.

With all its machinery ia action,
the Department of Agriculture has
begun the BIGGEST general house
cleaning in Washington's history,
and before the work is completed
every drug store aud wholesale
grocery in the city will be brought
to account for any adulterated or
decaying foodstuffs or medical nos
trums found on the premises. Al
ready 100 cans, each containing 90
pounds of vfrozen eggs; hundreds
of bottles of vfake" lithia water
have been seized and are being held
pending trial of the cases in court,
Perhaps the most important step
which the department has taken in
the matter is the attempted aboli-
ton of all forms of frozen eggs and
the various liquid vmixturesn which
are sold to pastry makers. Within
the last six weeks agents of the de-
partmeDt have caused seizures TO be
made which led TO the destruction
OF 49, eggs, the largest single
shipment coniscated being in a
large Wholesale warehouse. When
the cans of "frozen" eggs were
seized and found to be mixture Of
decayed and cracked eggs, tenn
porarily preserved by freezing, the
proprietor of the establishment ex-
hibited a guarantee from the firm of
whom he had secured the eggs,
which read, vThis mixture is abso-
lutely guaranteed under the pure
food and drug act.S The present
activities of the Agricultural Depart
ment is the most general and eff
fective crusade against impure foods
inaugurated since the passage of the
pure food laws, and the general in
spection and examination may pos
sibly extend TO other cities Of the
country.
