simply. People are awfully queer,
it seems to me. And it's so firing to

hands clasped loosely about his knees,
and Priscilla studied him covertly.
In that vivid, mobile face his eyes
looked strangely still, two dark, clear
sentinels of his soul, quiet, unfathon-
able, serene, such eyes as she had
seen once in little child and once
in an old sailor; but in that vital,
beautiful young face they seemed
strangely incongruous. They were
as old as the world, and as young
as an April morning. And, as she
looked, they turned to her and the
strangeness vanished. They were
still little remote, but very friendly.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC
 IS GREAT MENACE
so WRITES W. I. WILSON
SAYS MANY CRIMES ARE COM MlTTED AS RESULT OF
 TRAFFIC.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Deep down in my heart I hold no ili-wlll against any man. do, how ever, hold him to account for his er- roneous ideas and evil deeds. Now. what more evil can befall a man than to see his son or daughter fall under the influences of the liquor traffic?
 They don't of necessity have to drink the Slle stuff to get the effects of this demon called rum.
 You know, and I know, that our boys and girls daily come in contact with it's influences in many different ways. "Crapshooters,'' gamblers. white slave traffic and many other ne farious crimes are committed as a re- suit of the liquor tarffic. So you see when you say it will let you alone. if you will let it alone. will lot work Thousands of mothers he wake at night in great anxiety about their boys. Men, are you so depraved that you would cast your vote to corrupt your nelghbors' sons and daughters? Men, think about it! Are you willing TOT your son to enter into the liouor traffic and your daughters reputation to be despoiled by white slave trad ers?' Go to the bottomless pits of all large cities and you will find all these helllsh crimes going hand in hand. Will you help to forward to destruc- ton of your sons and daughters, as well as mine? Men, let's be fair and just to ourselves and our fellow-man. Let's practice some things We preach. The majority of the voters of Arkan- sas are white men. Thousands of times l have heard men say that they believed in white mans rule. Gen tlemen, if you vote the sale of liouor on the people of Arkansas, you have got to do it by the vote of the negro How can you, therefore, be consistent and mix up with what you call the greatest menace to- our southland? Fellow-citizens, realize that my in- nuence doesn't reach very far, but so held me God, l am against this he'll born demon, and have always cast my vote against his fangs, and expect to continue to do so regardless of what people think of me politically or so- cially. Arouse, people, and let's give this demon death blow that it may nevermOre show it's head in decent so- ciety.
 Yours for statewide.

HINEMON SAYS THE
 FIGHT WILL BE FIERCE

Little Rock, August l4-"There can be no differences among us as to the desirability of removing the blight and curse of the open saloon from our great and growing common wealth." declares Hon. John H. Hine- mon, in an address to the friends of statewide prohibition. "The fight will be fierce It is an issue which towers above all others. The saloons will not give up without a bitter struggle. The forces with which We have to contend are powerful and will have almost unlimited revenues at their command. The issue should be met frankly and openly. There is no need of harshness of act or utterance nor should the spirit of intolerance be anywhere manifest. Let us take up the gage of battle with malice toward none and charity for all, but with the fixed determination to join hands in one great and successful effort to re- move this giant evil from the borders of the state and to battle courageous ly for God and home and every fire side. Let there be no discouragement or hesitaney."

DOLLAR DONATORS
 10 GET BUTTONS
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
OF ARKANSAS ARE TO ASSIST IN RAIS-
 ING FUNDS.

This paper has placed an order for Democratic fund raising campaign. These buttons will be received by this paper within few days and all those who contribute one dollar to this cam paign will receive one of the buttons. The campaign in this county was started yesterday by this paper and the first subscriber was Prof. E. A |. Brennan of the State Normal. Don't let Faulkner county get behind in this work. Let's be among the top-notch- CTS. The following letter is being sent to the Democratic newspapers of the state:
 Robert Ewing, Democratic nation al committeeman from Louisiana, is organizing bureau for the purpose of raising funds for the Democratic press of the country, and to this end has communicated with Judge w. M. Kavanaugh, national committeeman from Arkansas, in regard to pushing the campaign in Arkansas. On rec ommendation of Judge Kavanaugh, Fred Heiskell, managing editor of the Gazette, has been appointed to take charge of this work in Arkansas. The fund-raising campaign will begin at once in Arkansas.
 Owing to the fact that the work of obtaining available funds has been started late, it is urged that the Dem- ocritic editors lose no time in obtain ing contributions to this fund. In or der that all newspapers may get cred it for the work done by them, the con- tributions may be sent directly to Judge Kavanaugh, who will send the money direct to the national commit tee.
 "As the Democratic party has no utilization with the trusts, the hope of the country will depend upon the popular ''dollar subscriptions. It has been found that the giving of a button for each dollar contribution has proven a successful plan, and to this end the national committee will be asked to send large number of buttons to Arkansas to be distributed through the newspapers which have taken up the work of raising sub- scriptions.
 "W. F. McCOmbs, the campaign manager for Governor Wilson, now chairman of the national committee is an Arkansas man, and Arkansas is we'll represented in the Democratic council. For this reason is is ex- pected that Arkansas Democrats will do their part in helping to furnish g large part of the popular subscrip- tions to the campaign fund to guar. antee the election of Governor Wilson and Governor Marshall"

Milton School to Open

= When the annual inroads of students
begins appearing in Washington in a
few weeks, many who are looking for
practical preparation will be attracted
by the Milton School, now occupying it's
new quarters of large and we'll venti-
lated rooms, Nos. 410 to 4l6 Maryland
building, 14l0 H street northwest.
The Milton School makes no pretense
to giving the usual classical course. 1t
simply seeks to prepare young men to
take positions as stenographers and sec
retaries. The fact that many young smen
who have attended such schools, have
begun at the bottom and worked their
way to the top, has proved time and
time again that such work is bene-
fci4l.
The course at the Milton School makes
a speciality Of stenography and type
writing, but includes up-to-date courses
in spelling and English. There are also
the somewhat novel, but very helpful
and practical courses of office practice
and civil service preparation, and the
school has not included other modern
: languages in order to offer an especial
structors in this department are ma
tives of Spain.
The authorities of the Milton School,
an institution that has always prosper
ed, have reason to believe that, with
the new rooms and equipment this
years enrolment will be the largest on
record.
