Commencement

Commencement is an annual Ger.
emony in which the pupils who
have absorbed an entire course OF
study submit samples Of the wisdom
they have acquired to their friends
and relatives.
There are many kinds of COM
mencements, including those In high
schools, universities, training
schools for nurses, business colleges
conservatories of music, barber col.
leges, veterinary schools, logical
seminaries, boxing academies and
correspondence schools. But all of
these, by far the most important is
the high school commencement,
where the pale young graduate, in
his first black suit, plants one foot
on the threshold of life and the
other in the floral decorations on
the village stage, and discovers that
beyond the Alps lies Italy, and that
beyond the footllghts are 10000
people, each one of whom is glaring
at him with two eyes like automo-
bile searchlights.
Commencement, like a wedding,
consists of clothes for the girls and
embarrassment for the boy. Clothes
take away the horror of the occa-
sion for girls, and keep them happy
through the ordeal, but there Is no
oriate for the young man who has
to lug his 8O.pound feet and ham
sized hands to the front of the
stage at commencement and try to
illuminate the world with an oration
of which all he can remember at
that moment Is the fourth line from
the last.
Educators often wonder why so
many young men leave high school
Pocahontas star herald., 1912-07-05

to become captains of industry or
grocery boys, and thus abandon
the cause of education to their sis
ters. The answer, however, is
simple. The boys are not abandon
ing education, but the commence.
ment oration. Ifthe sterling young
athletes in our high schools were
to be allowed to speak at commence
ment per phonograph, while they
themselves sat behind a bank of
palms and perspired unseen by the
populace, they would not quit
school with such frmness in their
junior year.
Commencement are held in June
at an average temperature of l0l
degrees and are great source of
great joys to the parents, florists
and dress makers. Many entirely
new discoveries in history, science
and politics are made by the essayists
commencement exercises, but thus
far the wicked trust which runs the
encyclopedias has scornfully declin-
to embalm this rare wisdom in
print. George Fitch.

Taft VS. Roosevelt

Below weigive some features of
the political fight at the Chicago
Convention:
Mr.. Roosevelt reverberates the
glades and hillsides with the heav-
ems. bursting announcement that he
is against the bosses. But consid-
cred calm and without passion or
prejudice, have we ever had in all
the history of this great nation of
ours, a more imperious boss or
uncompromising politician than
Theodore Roosevelt? The noise
that he has been making only
amuses the people, and the bosses
are perfectly willing to pay the bill
as long as the amusement doesn't
hurt them. State Republican.
The Big Stick has lost some of
its old.time power since the Steam
Roller has come into existence.
How does Roosevelt strike you
as a dignifed speaker? In recent
six minute speech, he used the
words, "Tbieves, Thievery and
Theft" exactly seventeen times.
Pocahontas star herald., 1912-07-05

And he used to be President of
the United States!
Roosevelt said he was a better
fighter than prophet. From this
we conclude that he is mighty
poor prophet.
Why do you reckon the Conven.
ton refused to dance when Teddy
fiddled? 1t must be rather hard on
his personal dignity to suffer such a
jolt.
That old Steam Roller certainly
did the work. Taft can now Law ii
aside for future use.
1t certainly is lucky to be able

Amendments proposed under the
initiative and referendum, viz;
No. l3.-Limiting sessions of the
legislature to so days, and provld-
ing that members shall receive no
pay if the body extend their session
beyond the sixty days.
No. l4.-Provides for the recall
by popular vote of public officials
for dishonesty or other cause.
No. l5.-Provides for the issue
of bonds for municipal improve
ments in cities of the first and sec
ond class and incorporated towns
of 1000 population or more. The
adoption of this measure is vital to
the welfare of the towns, but SINH
lar measures have been defeated by
the vote of people in the country
who are IN no wise affected, but are
nevertheless called upon to vote on
it. They either vote against it
generally, or leave the question
blank IN filling out their ballots,
and this counts the same as vote
against the measure. People in the
country this year should remember
that people in the towns want this
measure, and as it cannot possibly
affect the people in the country
they should vote for 1t and thus
enable their neighbors in town to
issue bonds by levying a tax on
their own property if they see fit.
No town can issue bonds under the
provisions of this amendment until
its own people have later voted for
the bonds In their own town.
In addition to these Initiative
Acts and amendments, there are
two constitutional amendments
proposed by the Legislature, VIZ,
No. 1I.-Providing for what is
generally known as the "Grand-
father Clause" and requiring GER
tam educational qualifications to
make one eligible to vote. 1t
should be adopted in Arkansas, as
it has been in most all the other
Southern states.
No. IL. -Exempts from taxation
, for the next ten years money invest
ed in cotton manufacturing in the
state, each factory to be exempt
for period of seven years from
the date of its establishment. This
measure is of vital interest to the
development OF the state and should
be adopted.
Each and every voter In the Sep
tember election will be called to
vote for or against each and every
one of these measures. Do not Jet
, others do your thinking for you,
but read these measures and form
, your own opinion of them before
going to the polls. If you do not
understand their provisions fully,
then discuss it with some neighbor
or friend in whom you have conf
dence until you do understand it.,
, and then vote your own sentiments
on each measure. -Ex.

The | & R Measures

WIS ioouO VIII W lOuuu OhO
four proposed laws and three con-
stltutional amendments that will
be voted upon in the September
election under the Initiative aud
Referendum amendment to the Con.
stitution of Arkansas, which was
adopted at the last election and
becomes effective for the Fl rst time
next September. Some of these
measures are lengthy, but each and
every voter should take time to
read them, study them and be pre-
pared to vote intelllgently upon them
when he goes to the polls in Sep
tember.
The four laws proposed by Inl-
tiative Petition are
Act. No. Proposing radical
changes in the revenue system Of
the state, and generally known as
the Turner-Jacobson bill. The
people are more or less familiar
with the provisions of this measure
and 1t doubtless figured largely in
the defeat of Governor Donaghey
for reelection, yet we regard it a
good law and hope to see it adopted.
Read it yourself, and forget any
prejudice that may have been born
In your mind againstlt during the
late primary. The principal feature
of this measure is the provision fol
assessment at actual value. Those
who have objected to full value
assessment in the past have justified
their position by saying that we had
no assurance that a later admins
tration would reduce the rate of levy,
and thus our revenue would bt
double and the money wasted by
extravagent appropriations. This
is safeguarded however, in the act
to be voted on in September, as il
provides in Sec. 100 levy based OIL
the State Capitol Rate. The pen
sion rate shall be three times. thu
state general rate five times, anC
the school tax rate six times th'
amount levied for the Capitol Rate
In case the total assessed value o.
the state shall not exceed $4,000,
666, then the Capitol Rate shall b.
Al cents on each 500. 1t thel
provides for sliding scale or re
ductions in the rate as the total of
assessment increases, reducing tn
levy to 4 cents, cents and on dow
to lIcents when the assessment shal
have reached 81, $50, 100000 unde
the full value assessment plan. w,
have been for this measure first
las. and all the time, and if tn
voters will but study its provision
from now until September it will b
adopted.
Act No. 2.-This s the State
wide Prohibition bill, and there i
little doubt of its adoption.
Act No. 3.-This act provide
for changes in the present election
laws of the state. 1t also should
and doubtless will, be adopted.
Act No. 4.-The enabling act o
this measure sets out prett,
thoroughly the provisions of th
act, viz: can act creating a pop
ular educational committee; ere
ating text book commission =
and providing 20 uniform tex
books for the public schools of thi
state, and for furnishing the sam
to the school patrons of the state
at actual cost of production anC
delivery" This measure is en-
dorsed by all the leading educator
and school men of the state and viii
doubtless be adopted.
There are four Constitutions

or alive-and one Of the two joint
beneficiaries of the disputed $4,000
life insurance policy, declared in the
first interview she has granted that
the operation performed on the
Kimmel identity claimant at the Rob-
ert Burns hospital has not convinced
her in the slightest degree that the
man is sincere.
She ridiculed the idea that he would
now remember things he could not re-
call before. She admitted, however,
that developments of the last few days
would strengthen his case and that
she would not be surprised to see the
New York Life Insurance forces win
in the coming October trial. Further
more, she says she does not care how

ROTHSCHILDS OF THE EAST
Mitsui Family of Japan Is Famous for
UnsulIied Honor of Their
Name.

The Mitsui family of Japan have
been called the Rothschilds Of the
East; but while the fame of the lat
ter has gone abroad over the world,
says the Atlantic Monthly, the Nit
suis have remained practically un-
known except to a few western mer-
chants who have had extensive deal
ings with the Orient.
The European family owes its great
renown to the fact that for a century
there has been no slightest stain up,
on It's commercial honor. But its ca
reer, it should be remembered, has
been passed in a world where bust
ness itself has been held in honor;
while the Mitsuis, engaged In a pur-
suit utterly condemned by public SEN
timent, for three centuries, in spite of
the demoralizing influence of the So
cial ban, have been trusted by govern
ment and people alike and have kept
the honor Of their name unstained.
Now, thanks to the new spirit anil
mating the nation, they no longer
stand 80 conspicuously alone.
Other great commercial families are
being ranged with this one, their men,
bers not only enrolled among the
peers Of the realm, but ranking with
the merchant princes of the west as
opponents of all that is honorable in
the conduct Of mercantile affairs. To
their number are yearly being added
many of the Samirai. or nightly chiv.
airy of old, who once scorned allscon-
tact with trade, but who are now re-
turning to bring to the rescue of their
country the fine sense Of honor in
which they were educated under the
ancient regime. That they will even
tually succeed in their task, backed
as they are by the instinct of common
honesty pervading the rank and file,
there can be no manner of doubt.

BAD MONEY RECEIVERS GOOD
Merchant Who Dropped Purse In
River Shows Cleverness.

Alton, ILL.,, May 16.-George Bauer
reversed the usual order Of things
when he sent bad money after good
and he attained the desired result.
Bauer is a furniture dealer at Alton.
A few days ago he went fishing and
in the excitement dropped his pocket.
book, containing real money, into the
river. He pondered for few days
when he realized on his meditations.
He went to the same spot where he
lost his pocketbook. He took another
book of nearly the same bulk as the
one he lost. He cast it into the river,
after he had attached a string to it.
just where the other book disap.
peared.
Then he followed the string with
some graphing hooks. He hauled in,
and, behold. his valuable purse and
the other came out of the water to-
gether.

Southern Express Company
Puts Detectives on Trail.
0. AND c. LIMITED ROBBED
Loot Obtained Is Estimated at $14o,.
600 or less-Passengers Not Mo-
Tested, as Crew Is Lined
Up Helpless.

Hattiesburg, Miss, May 16.-TwC
masked men held up the New-Orleans
New York limited train No. 2, north
bound, on the Queen and Crescent rail
road, eight miles from this city, and
after dynamiting the safe in the ex
press car, escaped on horses with q
bundle said to contain $4,000.
f. M. Williams, general manager OF
the Southern Express company, left
Birmingham for the scene OF the rob.
berry. With him were a number OF
special agents and detectives that will
begin at once the work of tracking
down the robbers.
No further word has been received
at the company's Office concerning the
amount of the robbery, but they were
inclined to think that the estimate OF
$4,000 was greatly exaggerated
Nevertheless they admitted that II
would be impossible to say so for Ger.
tain until they have further word from
their southern Offices.
Posses formed and mounted on
horses started in pursuit of the rob-
bers, who, it was said, had escaped
in northeasterly direction, evidently
heading for the Alabama state line.
Five charges of dynamite were ex-
ploded in the express car, nearly de-
molishing it. A through safe destin-
ed from New Orleans to eastern points
which contained nearly $150,000, most
of which was government funds, was
blown open and the contents taken.
The train had stopped at water
tank just north of Richburg, when the
men boarded the express car At the
time nearly all the passengers except
few who were to leave the train at
Hattiesburg, were asleep in their
berths.
The men first forced the engineer
and fireman to leave the engine and.
together with the conductor, fagman
and other members of the crew, they
were lined up against the train and
covered with a revolver by one of the
robbers.
The other entered the express car
and forced the express messenger and
a guard, said to be watching the gov.
eminent money on the train, to get
out and join the lineup.
The messenger and guard were re-
lieved Of their weapons before they
had chance to make any resistance.
