The fact that men choose certain OF

ACCUSED FORCER
TRIES TO ESCAPE
Negro Makes Daring Break at
Police Station While Cells
Are Being Cleaned.

Shortly after he had been locked at
the police station today, accused of hav

less checks on Atlanta concerns, Will
liam Brown, 1857 Bell street. negro,
said by detectives to be an expert fOrg
er. made daring attempt to escape
through the matron's ward.
He was captured by Turnkey Bran
nan, who placed him in a cell. The ne
gro was in the main corridor with a
number of other prisoners. while the
cells were being cleaned. He reached
the matron's ward by running up the
inside stairway
Brown was trapped this morning by
Detectives George Billiard and Doyal at
the plant of the Willingham Tiff Lum-
Der Company He appeared at the lum-
Der company Offices yesterday afternoon
with a check and aroused the suspi-
cions of the officials. He was told to
call at the offices this morning, and in
the meantime the detectives were no.

pointed time he was nabbed.
Pinkerton and city detectives have
been on the trail of the black penman
for several weeks They regard him as
one of the shrewdest and cleverest
forgers who has operated here
His game. according to detectives,
was to forge the names of prominent
Atlanta business men to checks and
then tender them to merchants in pay

ways offer a check in excess OF the
amount purchased, receiving the bal
ance in cash. The checks ranged in
amount to $50.
In some cases the negro is said to
have obtained the personal checks of
prominent men, and from these copied
the signatures. In one instance he
bought a tombstone from marble

the deal got hold Of a personal check
of the manager. This name was then

A Republican government as dlstin-
guished from q pure Democracy IS the
government OF thought and delibera-
lion. That radicalism which, in both
the Democratic party and the Third
Term party, is Incorporating as pro-
gressive is opposed to thought and de-
liberation, is antagonistlc to efficiency.
In our modern civilization no man
thinks Of being his own carpenter. his
own doctor, hts own stone mason his
own lawyer. Why not? Because he
has found by experience that he gets
better service when he employs men
who are expert I'm those lines to serve
him than he would if he tried to do
all those things himself He knows
that they have both time and opportu-
nifty to study and to think and thus
perfect themselves in the peculiar line
Of service Of which he Is IN need He
prefers specialist to a novice
Experts in Legislation, Too.
So too. in the case Of government
We select men for our legislatures not
because we believe they have more abil-
ty than ourselves but because we ex-
pect them to give thought and study
to the subjects with which they are to
deal, and we pay them for the time
they devote to such thought and study.
Were we to devote the same time and
study to the same subjects perhaps we
could do equally well often we could do
better, but In our complex civilization
men do not have time 10 think and con
M oil "a oil .,
which concern their welfare They
must economic time by employing one
set Of men to render one set Of serv-
ices, and another set of men to render
another.
why is President Taft opposed to
/ the initiative, the referendum and the
recall? The recall, as applied to the
judiciary, is so large a subject that /
prefer TO discuss 1t by myself But
what have said applies especially to
the first two named. The real pro-
gressive opposes the initiative and the
referendum because he does not believe
they will make for progress, because he
is convinced they impose on the voter
responsibilities which he is not pre-
pared to discharge-not because he
lacks the ability, but because he has
not the time
We have universal male suffrage in
this country and all men should be
prepared to vote on the questions which
are submitted to them with inteli-
gence and with knowledge. and after
due elaboration. This is essential to
the welfare OF the nation
But if all laws are to be submitted
to the voter under the referendum sys-
tenn, It will be impossible for him to
give to them, before he votes upon
them, that deHberation and thought

cost as much as rent does here. The rice crop is equal to that of Texas or Louisiana. The potato crop, both Irish and sweet, has yielded well. the latter reaching in many instances 20 bushels to the acre. The hay crop is the equal of the best in any Of the western states. These crops are the staple ones from which the farmer gets his cash. Fresh and succulent vegetables are luxuries that dwellers in cities seldom enjoy. The farmer in Arkansas can have them fresh and crisp from his own garden eight months in the year. His early vegeta- bles are usually ready for use in A pril. A succession can be kept up until De- cember.
 If he prefers to eschew cotton and raise grain and stock the soil and the climate both are adapted to this pur pose, aS the success of those who have attempted it proves. The facilities for marketing both are ample.
 Many home-seekers, from the infor- nation they have received, picture Arkansas as a new and wild country. While there is ample room and cor dial welcome awaiting all who come, the country is neither new or wild.
 During the present year, in St. Fran cis county, approximately S50,000 of school revenue has been raised and expended in maintaining our free schools. There is not neighborhood in the county which has not public school in reach of every family, and the teachers employed therein are progressive and up-to-date. There are churches in every neighborhood, and the ministers are paid liberal salary.
 In addition the railroad facilities, equal to the best, the movement for good reads has taken tangible form in the county, and system devised, by which the criminals condemned to punishment are worked upon the pub lie roads, and ill the near future inn passable or bad roads will be un- known. We have passed the wooden age in bridges, and are now construct ing steel ones over the larger streams, the St. Francis river being spanned by one that is as staunch as any in the older states.
 All of eur improvements have been paid for, and there is no county debt.
 The rate of taxation for all purpo- ses is less than s2 per hundred, and the rate of assessment is the minimum.
 There is nothing ''cheap" in St. Francis county but her soil.
