DISCARD MILITIA
AT HENDERSON

Little Rock, August 24.-The mill
tary feature of the Henderson Brown
College at Arkadelphia has been
abandoned, according to the an
nouncement of the president, DR.. Geo.
H. Crowell. He says that unless a
school is strictly military throughout,
trouble arises which
breeds discomfort" The honor sys-
tenn has also been introduced, putting
the student entirely upon his honor.
The school will open September II,
and many changes have been made,
all of which it is believed will be for
the best. The cottages have been
abandoned and the boys will board in
homes adjacent to the campus. Each
house will be in charge of matron
DR.. Crowell has devoted a great deal
of time and attention to putting the
buildings in order, and he is looking
forward to one of the most successful
seasons with an attendance of 40(
students.

KEEP UP Martin
SCHOLARSHIPS

The % scholarships maintained for
a number Of years at Hendrix College
by Capt. w. w. Martin for the bene-
fit of poor but worthy students, will
be continued by the college until the
graduation of the students to whom
they had already been granted, but
no longer, Business Manager w. B.
Hubbell said today. Three of those
holding the Martin scholarships grad
uated last June, leaving only 10 out
standing. The number will gradually
grow less until few years all will
have either graduated or withdrawn
from college.
The maintenance of these % schol-
arships, for which Capt. Martin paid
the regular tuition, was only another
one of the many benevolences of Con-
ways grand old man, which did not
become generally known until after
his death. Few knew that in addition
to the financial aid he lavished upon
Hendrix, he was also paying out a
large sum annually to aid both the
college itself and a score of its best
students.
AS Capt. Martin left no will or be-
quest by which these scholarships
could be maintained, the college board
nf l1l 70
the students to whom Capt. Martin
had already granted them until their
graduation or withdrawal, but no new
scholarships could be provided.

JUDGING from the numerous edito-
rial explanations being given in prac-
tically all the county papers carrying
the anti-prohibition advertisements of
Messrs. I. A. Wright & Co., it is evil
dent that these papers are facing con-
siderable criticism at home. And the
1.-TWO" papers (of which the Log Cab
in Democrat was one) which declined
this advertising have multiplied con-
siderably since Messrs. Wright & Co
wrote to this paper. Among the ex-
changes received this week by the Log
Cabin Democrat, there have been at
least a dozen which have taken the
same stand as this paper, and less
than one-third of the papers of the
state are received on exchange by this

THE claim of the whiskeyites that
if statewide prohibition is adopted
doctors will set up blind tigers and
furnish whiskey on prescriptions to
all who apply, is a gratuitous insult
upon the medical profession in this
state. We believe there is not state
in the union where the physicians, as
a class, have higher regard for pro-
fessional ethics, and this belief is
borne out in the advanced legislation
regulating the practice of medicine
that has been secured through their
organized efforts. Of course, as is
the case with all professions, there
are perhaps a few disreputable men
claiming to be physicians who would
abuse the liquor privilege conferred
upon them. But this proportion of
the medical fraternity in Arkansas is
so infinitesmally small that it is a
gross reflection upon the whole pro-
fession to charge that the doctors will
wilfully abuse and violate the anti
liquor laws.

YES, Hortense, for various reasons
the Citizen is not filing it's columns
with boiler-plate advocating local OPP
ton which is being scattered broad
cast to the newspapers of Arkansas
by the liquor interests. IT'S true that
the matter has the appearance of

men even before it's insertion at twice

have said, the matter is not to be
