STATE EDUCATION
BOARD MEETING

Little Rock, July "A meeting of
the state high school board is being
held today in Superintendent Cooks
office for the purpose of apportioning
for the next year the $4,000 fund
for state aid to high schools. Prac-
t:cally all of the schools that had
state aid last year have applied
again, besides many others.
The first years trial has proven
most satisfactory. Of the $4,000 set
apart for high school aid, there is a
balance of 81 ,689.50 and of the $780,
900 for normal high schools, there is
a balance of S2,014.50 There was ap-
portioned but not allowed because of
a failure to meet the requirements,
S1,672.49. There were II normal
training high schools, 10 four-year
schools, 26 three-year schools, and 81
two-year schools, total of SO recelv-
ing a:d All the counties were repre-
sented except Madison, Drew and De-
sha. The total enrolment was 6,638,
with 1912 from the outside. The to-
tai enrolment of 1873 high schools for
the last year was 1922, and for the
same schools the preceding year, g.
1872, a gain of 48 per cent. There
were 156 more pupils in the state aid
ed nigh schools last year than in all
the high schools the preceding year.
During the first year private par
ties gave a total of $21, 799 to aid
schools in meeting requirements, and
property valued at $30,50O was deed
ed to school districts for the same
purpose.

AN ORIGINAL WILSON
man is s. ". ROGERS
LOCAL TORN EY PICKED
NEW JERSEYITE AS FAVO-
RITE OVER A YEAR AGO.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
No man in Conway was more jubi-
liant over the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson than S. w. Rogers, a local
attorney, who has been one of his
staunchest supporters, and who can
probably claim the distinction of be-
ing the Original Wilson man" here.
In April, 1911, before he moved from
Washington, D. c., to Conway, Mr..
Rogers, in lengthy letter to the Log
Cabin Democrat, pointed to the New
Jersey governor as his favorite for
the nomination, a portion of his COM
munication being as follows:
If not Mr. Bryan, who then can
lead the hopeful Democracy to vic
tory? In my opinion there is but one
man who can successfully lead both
wings of the party. Mr.. Bryan may
be called the John the Baptist of his
party. He is the forerunner, preach

People who say that the Wall street
influence is a delusion of demagogues
do not read the stock market pages of
their daily newspapers.
Even more enthusiasm was felt in
Wall street over the apparent ''elimi-
nation of Bryan" at Baltimore than
over the defeat of Roosevelt at Chi
IS saying a good deal.
Below are three extracts taken
from the Wall street correspondence
of metropolitan papers of Wednesday.
The men who wrote this matter are
disinterested correspondents who are
paid by their newspapers to analyze
the action of the stock market each
day. The extracts tell how Wall street
viewed the defeat of Bryan by Parker
| in the first skirmish at Baltimore:
"The improvement in price was not
attended by any noteworthy enlarge
ment of activity, there being very 1t
tie buying throughout commission
houses on outside account. The &C.
casion of the change of front on the
part of certain traders who had &C
cumulated a rather heavy short ac-
count was mainly widespread and
quite generally excellent crop reports,
an advance in the price Of steel bars
and reports from the Democratic con-
vention at Baltimore, where the Bry-
an element appears to have been dis
posed Of.
Sentiment underwent a favorable
change over night because of the con-
sentative victory at Baltimore and as
surfing advices that the radical ele-
ment was losing its grip on the DEM
ocratic convention. The prophets
seemed to be of one mind that the

Wall Street and Politics

work of that political body will be
pleasing to those interests which
make a strong speculative movement
possible"
"Much of the buying today follow
ed the receipt by important men of
kilograms from Baltimore saying the
convention would eliminate both Bry-
an and Roosevelt as presidential pos
sibilities. With sane government as
sured, Wall street does not care much
whether it is Democratic or Republi-
can. The financial world is reconciled
to tariff reform, is hopeless of getting
monetary reform, and rather likes
trust-busting, so why should the mar
ket care?"
at were difficult to name the vital
incentive or propulsive force. The
shaping of the political situation was
palpably to the liking of the commits
son house people. These were busy
all day urgently recommending the

solicitations were successful, and as
business attracts business, the
chances favor a continuation of what
took place today-providing all goes
well at Baltimore. Brokers were will
ling to stake their judgment that all
would go WE'LL
1t is a pretty safe prediction that
what is good for Wall street is bad
for the people Before denouncing
radicalism, read the stock market
page of your paper.
1t might be said, in passing, that
! the Arkansas delegation at Baltimore
voted solidly to produce the condition
that was so pleasing to those inter
ests which make a strong speculative
movement possible"

ing civic righteousness, and has pre-
pared the way for another great re-
former. He is not greater than Mr..
Bryan, however, but by combina-
ton of circumstances Governor Will
son rather than Mr.. Bryan, seems to
be the logical candidate. He is the
one man around whose standard all
factions of Democracy can unite. On
the political horizon he is newcom-
err, and has therefore made no dang
erous political enemies. AS governor
of the trust ridden state of New Jer-
sey, he has already made a record not
surpassed in the history of any state.
No man in the country has a more
thorough knowledge of the theories of
government. Ills record as governor
of New Jersey proves his ability to
put his theories into practice. His
Democracy is decidedly of the pr
gressive type. He believes in the
twentieth century application of JEFF
fersonian principles. He is clear,
logical and Illuminating as a public
speaker, and withal he is southern
gentleman and a scholar. He is free
from political alliances. Despite the
fact that he has been classed as
Cleveland Democrat, his public acts
have so committed him to progressive
measures that Mr. Bryan could i'll af-
ford to withhold his enthusiastic sup
port.
The hopeful Democracy must make
no mistake in the choice of the leader.
1t might go further and do worse if
it should choose Speaker Clark. 1t
could hardly do worse than to choose
Governor Harmon. 1t could do moth
ing worthier of it than to choose Mr..
Bryan. But the only sure, safe, sane,
and worthy leader of the reunited
hopeful Democracy is Mr.. Woodrow
Wilson, governor of New Jersey.

SON WILL REPLACE !. THE MISSING FUNDS To Reimburse State for S2S,000 Unaccounted for
 by Father

Albany, N. Y. December I.-Stanton Siekles, son of General Daniel E. sekles, of New York, today promised to sec that the state is reimbursed for all funds unaccounted for by his father as chair man of the New York State Monument commission, totalling about s2S,o0o. At the conclusion of a half hours conference between Deputy Attorney General Kellog and young MT. sickles. it was announced that an agreement had been reached for the postponement of legal proceedings cn the part of the state to recover the money.
 Mir. Sickles left with MT. Kellog a cer- tified draft as part payment of the money and has promised to supply the balance as soon as it can be sent here from Spain, where 1t is said Mrs. Sickles holds con- siderable property.
 MT. SiclSles refused to discuss his visit here and MT. Kellogg declined to say how much money had been paid on the account. MT. Sickles told me-" said MT. Kellogg, that his father had lost the money in Wall street. If the agree ment entered into is fulfilled it will be unnecessary for the state to look to aay of the other members of the monuments commission for any part of the money unaccounted for by General Sickles"

WOULD NOT DELAY
 HARD COAL" CASE.

Washington December 21,-Attorney General Wiekersham indicated today that if he discovered sufficient ground to fur ther prosecute hard -coal' interests un- der the Sherman anti-trust law. he would proceed at once, and would not delay the attack for his successor under Presi- dent Wilson. Within a few weeks, the Attorney General is expected to decide whether the government should move against tho so-called minor combinations of railroad and canal companies which the United States supreme court in its recent anthracite decision dismissed without prejudice for further considera- tion.
 The determination to act at once, if it is thought that the law Is being vio- lated. is due to the importance of the commodity involved For the closing days of his administration, the Attorney General has laid down the general rule that he will undertake no fresh trust investigations unless they are of pressing importance, but will conflne the work of the department of justice largely to bringing the numerous pending investiga- tions to conclusion and filing the resultant suits.

Mrs. Cooper has been married four times and her husband three times. Judge Stover abruptly ended the proceeding by saying:
 The petition Is dismissed. Your peo- pie have married too many times al- ready. If you can't live happily to- gether, search for your Utopia separ- ated."
