To close the Tigers. but you know, and we know, that in the end he vii fail Whyz Because no matter what his intentions are there will be, and has always been, either a beer club or bootiegger who will supply to those who will have it such liquors as they may demand There is an other question in this matter, the enforcement of the law by the sworn officers No law or rule is d good rule unless 1t has the majority of the peo- pie for it. They will do their duty as soon as public sentiment demands it, and if they have not done so, it is clear to our minds that there is greater demand for liquor than there is against it. We are merely ex- pressing an opinion this week, but We hope next week to go more thor oughly into the matter, and do what We honestly think is the best interest of this good town, as we have always done for 26 years.

clamorous for al least show of the law being enforced In the arrest Of Hughes came the golded opportunity for Attorney General Estes and the police department of Memphis to vindicate themselves and at the same time makh a brilliant grandstand play. How well thsy succeeded has all gone down in history now. and J. ]. Hughes was the goat
 In the city of Memphis today men guilty of crimes besides which that of Hughes sinks into pany insgniicance, are walking the streets as free as the air We breathe. Proprietors of saloons operated in direct violation of the law, and proprietors of gambling hells, pliers Of the white slave traffic. keepers of brothels and low dives of every description, it is alleged ply their trade with impunity.
 Hughes was convicted: the sentence of the lower court was affirmed. Now can the powers that rule and dis pense justice in Shelby lay back and rest at ease. The law has been vindi. cated. \ murderer can be convicted and sentenced and be banished to the pen in Memphis. Great is the law in Shelby and great is it's vindication.

PAPER STOCK ADVANCES PRICE

The Times has for the last several weeks been in receipt of letters from the various paper houses with which We do business, notifying us that the prices of all paper stock, had ad- yanced sharply in the last two or three weeks and that new price lists would be issued and sent out shortly. The advance shown, iE many cases. amount to as much as twenty per cent, and even more. Our customers will please note this change and bear it in mind when comparing prices charged for job printing, with prices charged in the past.

HUGHES SENTENCE AFFIRMED.

Under glaring headlines last Sun day morning the Memphis Conner cial Appeal devotes something over page and a-half of it's valuable space to lurid Iehash Of the history of the killing of Tommy Dolan, the all legged ex- jockey, tout and police tool, for which J. ]. Hughes was sentenced to life term in the penitentiary.
 Hughes case had been appealed to the Supreme Court, and that, the highest tribunal in the great state of Tennessee, sitting in Jackson. a short while ago heard argued orally by the ablest counsel procurable. Their verdict handed down Saturday affirmed the one given in tie lower court, and Hughes last hope was shattered.
 The story that was written in length In the Commercial Appeal is too lengthy to print in our columns. II contains history of the crime and Of all the sordid commonplace events that led up to it. It digs down and brings up the life history Of the imprisoned man, and lays bare the story of his life, emitting not even the smallest detail, and to add to the zesU of the news story printed for the satisfaction of the morbidly curious seekers after the sensational, the editorial writer of that great newspaper delivers himself thusly:
 J. ]. Hughes must spend the rest of his life in the penitentiary for the crime of murder. The supreme court has affirmed verdict secured in the criminal court of Shelby county against MT. Hughes
 Before getting in trouble in Mem phis MT. Hughes had killed other people. When sober his friends claimed that he was very peaceful man. In drink he was bloodthirsty.
 We are sorry for Hughes We are sorry that any man should be com- pelied 10 spend the evening of his life in prison; but We are glad that the law was not shot 10 pieces in this case.
 Attorney. General Estes deserves great credit for securing a yindication for the law in the Hughes case, The result Of this trial may have far reaching effect in these part if the courts take advantage Of their oppor- tunities.
 Hughes was convicted because pub lie sentiment was temporarily aroused against murder, because he was vigor- ously prosecuted, and because polit- ical or any other sort of pull was not effective, and lastly. because the facts warrant the verdict.
 If everybody doing a murder were prosecuted as vigorously as was Hughes, and if the machinery of the law was directed as effectively as il was in this case, the business of mur. der would soon stop.
 We cannot stop and rest upon the record in the Hughes case for law enforcement. In the three months there were half a dozen killings that were without excuse.
 Several men indicted for murder in the first degree are out on bond. Williford, who killed man on Main street few nights ago, secured bail through his attorney, Bluford Rich ards, under bond Of g., GOO, in Judge

i PalIneris court His chief defense i for killing his man was that the vic i tim was looking at him in a menac- 1 ing manner.
 Winburn, who killed Poston less 1 than month age. is about 10 move l for bail.
 Aaron Bosenthal. who shot Miller on the river front, will move for bail: and the general defense will be the higher law.
 ]. A Pass, who lives near the National cemetery, who has been in- dicted for running a blind tiger. and killed negro on Decoration Day, is about 10 be admitted in bail under an amount Of 5000 MT. Pass blind tiger business probably needs his st- tention.
 "Bill" Laura, after spending a brief season in the jail is now sum- mering with his family. Latura's latest exploit was to kill a sporty negro with whom he had been shoot ing dice.
 Laura alleges that the killing was done in self-defense. Laura would hardly shoot negro for any other reason than to save his own life. His past career would justify this con- CluSlOu-We uOU lillDh-
 The thing to do is to follow hard and keep on hammering away at all these cases: and, if the same energy in the trial and care in the selection of jury are manifested in these cases as was manifested in the Hughes case there will be lot of conviction and then it will begin to sink into the minds of would-be lyt l,n hn ic cafa and then you would see an end of the practice.
 Keep up the good work begun in the Hughes case. Make 1t hard for these first degree murderers to get bail; put them quickly to trial and good results will follow.
 When man is indicted for murder in the first degree it would be a great advantage if he could be put on trial at once. The higher law" fellows should have quick trial.
 Thus is the law of great common wealth vindicated. Hughes was convicted because public sentiment was temporarily aroused against mur- der, because he was vigorously prose- cutedn
 The last sentence-becaus se he was vigorously prosecuted-tells the tale. Hughes was vigorously prosecuted and bitterly prosecuted. Had the powers that be and the powers that rule in the Shelby county metropolis been thousandth part as yigorous,or a thousanth part as bitter in the hun dred and one other murder and cases of even worse degree with which the fair name of Memphis has been shamed in days gone by, that proud city would not be wearing now as she does, the name amongst the cities of the land as being the toughest and worst town of her class i'll the United States
 We are not seeking 10 viudicate Hughes for the crime he committed According To the testimony and the verdict of twelve good men and sup posedly true. he was guilty of the crime of murder The people Of St Francis county and Forrest City know J. J. Hughes. He is the head of a family that is prominent in the social and business world of Eastern Arkansas. His case has been watched with intense interest from its be- ginning, and the sympathy of our peo- pie goes out to them
