CITY ASHAMED OF
fFfICY INCIDENT
WON GOVERNOR FRIENDS
LITTLE ROCK CITIZENS 4 UNIT
IN CONCERNING ACTION
OF MISCREANTS.

/ Little Rock, Sept 20.-On account
Of certain official actions. which dis.
/ pleased some of the political leaders
of Little Rock, Gov. Donaghey has not
for some months been the most popu-
! lar man in the city, but the actions
of few lawless characters in hang
| ing the chief executive of the state in
effigy Thursday morning, has done
much to make every man of Little
Rock in closer touch with him. Ever
since the dummy was found hanging
upon telegraph pole on the postof-
fee lawn, Little Rock has been one
large Indignation meeting. Practic-
ally every man in the city has eX-
pressed condemnation for the act Of
the thoughtless ones who brought
shame to the door of the law abiding
citizens of the community.
At first there were few hot heads
who condemned the governor because
he pardoned Robert Armstrong, the
negro who was twice convicted here
and sentenced to hang for criminal as
sault. 1t was then recalled that IL
members of the two iuries which
convicted Armstrong had requested
that he be pardoned, that the identifi
cation of Armstrong was meagre, and
that he had proven as good an alibi
as negro could through negro tes-
timony. In addition to all this was
letter received by the police of Lit
tie Rock after Armstrong had been
in which the mysterious
writer confessed guilt to the crime
and exonerated Armstrong
After Jack the Shooter was killed,
specimens of his handwriting were
compared with that Of the anonymous
letter, and every handwriting expert
in the city, as we'll as bank officials
who are extremely familiar with
handwriting, pronounced them to be
written by the same person. This
Gov Donaghey, more than
anything else that Armstrong was in
nocent, and having reached that con-
cluSion, there was no course open for
him but to pardon the negro. The
courage of the governor in making
this decision in the face of what he
knew would be violent denunciation,
is applauded by all Little Rock, espec-
tally now since he has been condemn
ed by ruffians in such an undetermined
manner.
Armstrong, the pardoned negro,
left Little Rock Immediately after
being released from Jail. 1t is re-
ported that he has returned to Miss
issippi, from which state he came to
Little Rock. Armstrong did not tar
ry to settle any business affairs, leav-
ing those for his attorneys.

suit Of monkey nature are indeed
laughable.
When the barber shop opens an
"old gentleman" monkey, in all dig
mtg. walks in. He takes his seat in
chair and tells the monkey barber
he wants shave After placing the
towel at his throat the barber decides
he needs a hair cut.
In the difference of opinion which
follows the monkey barber gets angry
and fills the patrons mouth full of
soap suds. Then he catches up an
enormous pair of shears, and the
damage he would do is checked only
by the timely arrival of trainer.
This monkey barber shop scene is a
most amusing presentation of animal
nature. 1t is, however, only one of
scores of unique displays which Gen
try Brothers all new feature shows
offer this season.

Whose fault is it that these practical
business people paid more than $50
900 for a telephone system that Is
ready for the junk heap2 Either one
of two things is true: that they pos
sess very poor business judgment 60,
or that they were willing to pay q
long price for the system, As their
representative admits, for the purpose
of fostering upon the citizens OF Con-
way a rate system such as Will insure
a good income and, in addition gradu-
ally reimburse the company for the
$40, 900 loss on the original purchase.
The latter seems to me to be the
truth.
Let US figure little. The company
says it will take 100000 to put IN OPP
Grafton an up-to-date system. Their
representative says the company IS
satisfied with the modest income of 4
per cent. What are the facts? There
are nearly 400 phones in the city pro-
ducing a gross income of more than
800 a r;onth or over $4,000 a year
mot including long distance or rural
lnes). The operating expenses and
repairs are said to have been not
more than $4,000 for the last II
months. This leaves a net income of
20 per cent on the investment. What
a difference between 4 per cent and 20
per cent,
Now. let us be fair with the com
pany, and help it to find more just
way to make its per cent or even 8
per cent. and that, too, not only on the
$4,000 necessary for putting in a
good system, but upon that plus the
$50, 900 it paid for its junk heap %
g per cent of $4 900 is So 300 And
as the company's present net income
is more than $4,000 a year, 1t Is evil
dent that the company can put in the
500, 900 improvement and still get a
good return on the investment.
If | had time and space | could
show you how their representatives
juggle with figures Take one exam
pie: This great corporation claims
to have never declared dividend
above 6 per cent, Lut they do not tell
you that large sums are put to sur
plus for the purpose of buying up To-
cal franchises and increasing the COM
panys capital many fold | know of
a bank Just six years old that has de
clared an annual dividend of 6 per
cent and has greater surplus than
capital stock.
would like for some one to explain
why it is that people complain of OPP
preston by the trusts and monopolles,
and turn Immediately and sign away
their. Fights to the very institutions
they condemn.
How long shall we continue to put
the halter around our necks and put
the other end into the hands of the
great corporations to lead us as they
wish? The people seem never to fight
till they are trampled in the dust.
