THOSE WHO CRITICISE
By d. Augustine.

I've been through life a little bit,
I've known its ups and downs,
I've studied human nature we'll
From sages down to clowns
There's many a guy will try to fool
You right before your eyes,
But he's not in il with the folk
Who always criticise.
The folk I'm limiting of are those
With foul and slanderous tongue,
Who throw their poisoned darts at
will,
Nor spare the old or young.
Those are the folk who rack their
brains
And cunningly devise
To hold you in the public view,
Condemn and criticise.
/ knew a man obscene and foul
With lust his heart did burn,
A hypocrite in virtues garb
Whom everyone should spurn.
The simple tale he magnified
With calumny and lies;
A sucker of the deepest dye,
The first to criticise.
oOiiG dun VI gOuiHluA UOl VI XIII
Might reach his prying ear;
Such tales you'll always find he is
Most anxious to hear.
He'll talk it Ger and Ger with you
With sad and weary sighs;
He'll say the worlds gone to the bad,
And start to criticise.
A woman reached some eminence
Whose origin was low;
1t was ludicrous how she tried
Authority to show.
BY accident and cunning she
Did o'er her sisters rise,
And certainly. my friend, she was
"beaut' to criticise.
And in her husbands presence she
A sanity garb wore;
You'd think to look at her she was
A picture saint of yore.
Poor, foolish man, he could not see
That right before his eyes
She fooled him TO her hearts content,
AID did him criticise.
. The foulest tales that e'er we're heard
Was her delight to tell;
Il SO very foul not fouler is
Z The dirt and filth of hell
She boasted Of race suicide, too,
Yet still she could devise
To slur her honest sisters all
Abuse and criticise.
4 II such as describe you meet.
4 Just pass them with disdain,
4 For many a pure and noble mind
They bring TO grief and pain.
q For those who are prone to evil deeds
N To calumny and lies,
/ You'll always find. my friend, they are
4 The first to criticise.

Senator Demands That Affairs

REYBURN'S FRIENDS SAY
THEY WILL GUST PENROSE
By The United Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.-United
States Senator Penrose continues to
line up with the reformers and all
Philadelphia was astounded today over
his bold declaration that the Repub-
lican administration of city affairs de-
mands careful investigation. Whatever
his motive may be, and the friends of
the present administration insist it is
simply to overthrow Recorder Ware.
as an aspirant for the Republican
nomination for Mayor, his attack on
the city government has developed a
strange situation It is admitted that It
has upset all calculations and that for
the first time in many years the result
OF this falls election will be in doubt
until after the votes are counted.
The Democrats say the Penrose
attitude will also have a distinct
bearing on next falls campaign and
that it will cause a new alignment
in both city and state They say
there will be a chance, albeit an out
side one, of the Democrats making
further gains in the state congress
sional delegation.
Friends Of Mayor Reyburn are today
denouncing Senator Penrose and as
serting that they will oust him as
state leader of his party In his lat
est public declaration. after approx
ing the proposition to thoroughly
probe Philadelphia governmental af-
fairs, Penrose says:
The inquiry will be made without
fear or favor. In this purpose l stand
ready to cooperate. II is my desire
that the investigation proceed with
the utmost vigor for the sole benefit
of the people of Philadelphia and not
for the benefit of any individual or
political interest.
The present municipal situation
in Philadelphia in my Judgment, de-
mands a thorough house-cleanng and
the adoption of measures to prevent
a continuance or a repetition of the
methods of the present administra-
ton. Under no circumstances should
the scandalous personal obligations
and financial operations of certain
city officials be carried into another
mayoralty term"

Whether or not the operation now in progress results in strik- ing oil it has been demonstrated that wells sunk to a depth of 1000 feet will overflow and furnish an abundance of fine water.
 This discovery in itself is an extremely valuable one. N o t only is this of great advantage to farmers and stock raisers, but the city will be able to have wells which will empty the water into a reservoir, thus eliminating the necessity of pumping from the wells. A great deal of power is now utilized inpumping the water from the wells to the settling reservoir. By the use of the overfowing wells greatly aug mented power would be available for the manufacture of electric current.

Fl BILL MORE CON-
 flJsING AND COMPLEX

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-The fur thor the controversy over the r.J bill progresses, the more confusing and complex the situa- tion becomes. The whole reven- no system of the state, which 1t had been designed should be re vised and remedied, is in a state of oreater confusion than ever bofore. and it is only the begin ning. Next Friday is the last dav upon which the referendum netition may be filed for it's sub mission to the people, and Il will he forthcoming by that time. In the meantime, the validity of the act is being fought out in the courts, and no one may predict what turn the controversy will take.
 In Pulaski Chancery Court Monday suit was filed by the Ar kansas Tax Commission asking an injunction against the assess or of Pulaski county for making an assessment of the property of the Little Rock Railway Com pany under the old law, also ask ing that the county clerk be en. joined from extending taxes extending taxes against t h @ property of the said company under the old law, and that he be lmandamused to extend the taxes on the assessment of the property of the company made

 Under the old law, the

v
 Under the old law, the assess or assesses all municipal utilities while under the Turner-J Jacob son law. the Tax Commission makes the assessment. Under the old law the assessor this year had assessed the personal property of the street railway company at S660,000. Under the new act, the Commission had certified out to the assessor an assessment of S2,000,000 on the same property.
 Elk Congressman c. c. Reid appeared as attorney for the Com mission, and Assistant At, torney Henry Rector for the as sessor. H. D. Cantrell repre- sented the street railroad com- pany, w. c. Smith for the Water Company. They, with Mr. Rec. tor opposed the suit of the com mission, contending that the T.J bill is not a law, and that any action under that measure Is in valid aud void. They contend that the assessor is acting with in his rights in ignoring the as sessments presumed to be made by the commission, and that the attorney general filed motion to dismiss the suit. Gen. Hal l.. Norwood holds that the ComDis- sion is unlawfuliy pretending to bring suit for and on behalf of the state of Arkansas. As Governor Donaghey is support ing the Commission, it follows that there is a pretty question as to who the State of Arkansas is. Gen. Norwood's motion was set for a hearing September IS.
 There is prospect of a most delightful tangle over sthe meet ing of the levying courts, t h a t hinges upon the determination of the validity of the revenue bill. This threatens to cause so much confusion that there is a chance for the action of the quorum courts being nullitied. Under the old law the courts met the
