 However, then Fry put on the braKes' and Bessemer won the game. The game was played in 90 minutes and was quite enioyable. A double header will be played this afternoon, the first game beginning at PAS. It is probable that many Blrming- ham fans will go out on the o'clock car to view the fray. Two close games Will probably be offered. Lefty Robertson will probably twirl the last game.

THE OFFICIALS FIRST DUTY

While it is commendable trait in man in his private relations to stand by his friends, as an off cial it is his duty to know no friends-or at least to be equally the friend of every man. As an officer he is entrusted with power not for his own good, but for the good of the whole people because people believe he can be trus sted to use the power for the good of all. and not for the good of him. self. He occupies the same re- lation that a bank cashier does to the depositors in a bank. Grover Cleveland put the matter clearly when he said that a public office is public trust. out it remained for MT. Bryan to give the state ment it's full significance when he pointed out that the man who uses a public office for his person. al profit in any way, politically or otherwise, Is an embezzler of power. The phrase IS strikingly apt. If a bank cashier takes ot- her peoples money for his own use, he is an embezzler of the money with which he has been trusted, he is an embezzler ol power. It is disgrace for 2, officer to say that he has don, tavors, or rewarded friends i, political appointments. It is hi. sworn duty to appoint only th, man who will best serve the pnb lic good; and we must develop sensitive patriotism which wil rebuke any official who is an am oezzier of power, regardless o- whether he gets gain in the foru of tangible graft and money o, on'y Tn the form of personal ad. 'vancement or power. 1

GOING TO COLLEGE Why? When? Where?

Why? The four years College course has more to do with the making of success for any one, and the shaping of character and manhood than any otherinhuence save that of mother.
 The idea is to be of real service to those who are committed to its care, and to be a leavener of it's power throughits pupils, unto the community, unto the church and state, and unto the nation and the world: in other words, to quicken mental expansion, christian culture, character de- velopment: in the last analysis tC train boys and girls to be able to do things and to love to do

But let the humblest voter lay the f1attering unction to his soul that he Is exempt frcm such reg possibility, and that he may be negligent of his duty without be- ing regarded as guilty in like manner. The subject is so inn portant this campaign year that we hope our readers will pardon us for repeating we said some weeks ago:
 The State does not give the right of suffrage to a man as a present for him to have and to hold, as he might a piece of ordi- nary property. In the capacity of vo CT, each citizen is simply d trustee for public good.
 It Is as shameful to sell one's vote as 1t would be for a guard Ian to sell the property belonging to ward of his. In fact the crime of yote-seiIiag is worse, because of it's debasing influence on public mora sand its tendency to undermin the very foundation of government and civilization. The negro who steals a ham at midnight is a good citizen com pared with the man who sells his vote that long generations of martyrs and patriots have fought to win for the common man as a weapon for the public good The Progressive Farmer.

The ,ip U state, so far as Ar kansas is concerned, is getting shoaly and turbulent water. l.. seems to us that the people who ought to be the Wide-a-Wake pi-
 lots of the ship and chart-makers of the sea of destiny over which we are travelling, have gone to sleep to let the old vessel plunge to the bottom on the rocks. The News is carrying to its readers each week a list of laws that you, Mir. Public Legislator must vote on in the September election un- der the Initiative andReferendum Have you studied them? Do you know what they mean? Have figured out the effects they will have on us if adopted? So far as as we have been able to ascertain you. Mir. Pubic Legislator is not giving them the consideration you should. Some have told us that they had not read them at all and didn't know that they would read them. Others have said that they had read them but didn't understand them. These two classes so far as we have been able to learn are in the mai ority and a big majority at that. You are now about to enter into the law-making business. Un- der the conditions you establish in Septem CT we'll have to live. What about it! Let us call your attention to Act No. 4 known as the Text Book Commission Act. The object is for u uniformity of text books. That part of it is right It also provides for a Popular Educational Committee whose duty it is to elect the State Book Commission. This Popular Education Committee is to be composed of every teacher in the state who holds first grade cer- tifeate. It includes men and women, whites and negroes and every other shade of humanity that holds the propsr credentials. How does it appeal to you?
 Let us call your attention to Act No. 3. This Act is to change the election law to suit the Re- publicans and virtually means putting the white man out of business in southern ana eastern Arkansas. Are you posting your self on these questions? If not you had better get busy. It will bee too late after the thing is done. Stephens News.
