Must Work Together

Ii you saw a men throwing sand
at your plate glass window il would
not worry you very much would il?
But if you saw hlm massing the
particles of sand into an adhesive
ball with the aid Of little lime and
water, you would know that the sani
thus cemented together, would 90
through that window when il Was
hit.
And you would Immediately begin
to figure on your insurance.
If all the men in this country
were TO start out, each one on his
own responsibility to conquer an
other nation, that nation would not
have much to fear, would it.
But if these same men went out
together under efficient leadership,
they would be practically resistless.
SO it is with community.
A single individual, however
earnest and ambitious in his desires
to advance the welfare of his com.
munity can do little more than
agitate.
An entire community of lndlyid.
uals prompted 10y the desire but act.
ing each on his own initiative, and
without regard to what the Others
were doing, will accomplish little
more.
But actuated by the same desire,
and working collectively for the
same purpose--ah, that's another
story.
Our town is entitle to the conf.
dence, loyalty and hearty support
of everybody in the community. -

Since Amendment No. l3, in

for ibe last four sessions OF the
General Assembly. And they will,
in many instances, obtain what they

This is the kind OF good fellow

this that he is now behind prison

The custom of the General AS
sembly of Arkansas in passing such
a large number of special acts, at so
great an expense to the people, Is
an outrage, and believe that the
members of the next General As.
sembly will win for themselves
lasting reputation by devoting their
time to the consideration of gener-
al measures, and the passage of
special acts only where a general
law is not applicable. If the Leg
islature does this, it can easily get
through and adjourn within sixty
days.
Now, a large majority of the
people Of this State have declared
for short session of the Legisla
ture, and am confident that prac
tically every member elected either
had this as a plank in his platform,
or would have declared in favor of
short session, if he had been called
upon, and i believe that the next
Legislature Is going "To Make
Good" and pass all necessary laws
in sixty days. You can do il easily,
if you will observe the Constitution,
and abandon the idea that the Gen.
eral Assembly convenes for the pur-
pose of directly legislating for
townships and parts of townships.
The Constitution is as binding on
the Legislature Department Of the
State Government as il is upon Ex
ecutiye and Judicial. If there are
any Of you who havn't a copy Of
the Constitution, the Secretary
of State viii furnish you a copy on
request.
The per diem and contingent cx
pcnses Of the last Legislature
amounted to $l9s,05LO2. A sixty.
day session will cost approximately
s75, 10000; a saving of more than
$l2o,oOO.oo Will help some.
With great respect and highest
regards for each Of you, / am,

cOAsTINe AND ITS eLoRIEs
Columbus Editor Grows Some Enthus-
iastie as He Writes on the
Subject.

During the last snow spell the boys
had out their sleds and did a deal of
coasting. There is no memory of
youth as glorious as that sport. No
body ever thought that the fun of
sliding down hill was in the slightest
diminished by the labor Of trudging
back uphill.
The. swift and exhiiaratiug 10y OF
Hitting down the hillside was a grand
part of q boys experience, and will
never grow stale in the memory.
What great thing It would be II the
spirit of that sport would get into the
humdrum of life and brighten 1t up
some.
There is one feature OF this coast
ing business that stands out like a
promontorys That was "beIy-bustin'S'
There is no use to feel sQuirmish
about the term or hesitate to breathe
1t aloud in a literary column.
That was the exciting feature of
coasting,. and was INDUCED in mostly
by the boys of daring and patched
clothes. Get out of the way!p he
shouts, and bang goes the sled on the
slippery hillside, with the boys legs
stretched far astern the sled In the
endeayor to guide it, but, failing, on
he runs into boy here, knocks one
down there, and turns another end for
end out In the snow. oh. but Il was
gioriousi One can hear that yell yet.
II men would do that TO one another
IN the grown-up world. there would
be lighting and madness all the time,
but in the boy world 1t belonged to
the beautiful sanctities Of life. To
this day we take on our hat to the
