 The organization to be made effective under this plan will be the most compact ever made in the state for any cause, So thorough will the organization be that any message may be placed ln the hands of every state wide advocate in the state in 48 hours.
 When the state is thoroughly organized according to the plans laids out in the constitution, says Supt. Barrett, we will be able to tell the number of votes we will get even before the elec- tiOn is held. The various county chairmen will have a complete list of all the voters in their county end each district Super intendentS will be able to know his strength Agitation will be the order of the day from now on until the black is truly knock ed out of Arkansas.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION
Excerpts from Characteristic speech Of
 Neal Dow. Applicable for today.

Perhaps there is somebody here with us who prays, Thy Kingdom come. while his lips are yet moist from a social glass of wine. Can Christ's Kingdom come until the temperance cause shall triumph? Nay .verily; and meanwhile you will remain a moderate drinker. Is that con- sistent? But, you ask, do you then claim it is a sin to drink a glass of wine? l say this, that for any man who calls him self a Christian, and who knows, as he must, that the drinking habits of society are the cause of the greatest evil in the land; to set the example of drink ing, to him it is sin. Isn't it a primary Christian duty to set a right example? To live so that if all the world should do as we do, no harm would there by come to any?"

FIFTEENTH INTERNAL
 TIONAL CONGRESS

Washington, May 6. 6.-Govern. or Geo. W. Donaghey, of Arkan- sas, has accepted the invitation Tor the state to participate m Fl1teenth International Congress on Hygiene and Demagraphy. winch meets Washington, September 23.28, 1912, under the auspices of t h United States government In the let ter announcing his acceptance, the Governor also said he had appointed a State Committee. consisting of the following mem bers: pr. Olive Wilson, of Para gould; pr. $. J. Shibley, of Bonneville; Dr. Clark Wood of Fit. Smith; pr. P. W. Lutterlch. Of Jonesboro. and pr. T. E. Full. Ter, of Texarkana. It is antici. pated that liberal participation will be secured from the cities ot Arkansas, and along this line an excellent indication of the im> portance of the congress was given in one paragraph of let ter written by Dr. Fulton this week when he said:
 'T h e broad international scope, the distinguished charac- ter of the foreign representa- tion, the governmental auspices under which it is held, all insure that this forth coming event will be the most important and i'm, presslve of it's kind ever held in this country. To be in attend ance at the congress, therefore, IS an opportunity for obtaining a new viewpoint with respect to public health, which after next September, will in all likelihood not occur again in tbis country for generation. Failure to attend on the part of public health man vii constitute an in, justice to himself and misfor- tune to his loc2lity."
 Officers of the state and muni- cipa section will be pr. Frank F. Westbrook, Professor of Path. ology and Bacteriology, Univer- sity of Minnesota, Minneapolis, vice-presidents, pr. Jno. N. Hurtv. Secretary of the State Board of Health, Indiana; and Dr. Chas. V. Chaplin, Superinten- dent of Health, Providence, RI; secretaries, Dr., Herbert D. Pease, N. Y., and pr. Marshall l.. Price.

REBUKiNG MR.. TAFT

of an executive chosen - popular bal
lot who believes that the people are
intelligent enough to elect him, but
too stupid to perform any other func-
ton of government. The vote in
North Dakota was the reply of the
people of that state to the traducers
of the initiative, referendum, recall
and direct primaries. North Dako-
ia has them all and knows them to
be bulwarks of liberty. So will Arr
zcna have them all as soon as the
new amendment is passed.
L will be sometime before another
president follows Taft's example, and
tells a territory it may not become
a state If it puts into it's constitution
the recall for judges. Arizona is a
Democratic state, but North Dakota IS
a Republican state.

Editor Of The Farmer:
Sir-No more grevious, dishonest,

er sacrilege committed than to move

Main street for other purposes, the
yearly increase of land valuation
where 1t now is should make any per-
son oppose it's removal. 1 should say
its removal would be a serious dam
age to all the property in it's vicin-
ity.
Here are few figures for the con-
sentative public to consider: This
Main street front is 70 feet front, the
length along John street is 203 feet.
BY the city map there is approximate
ly 1888 feet. Now this entire base
ment can be used as newspaper and
periodical reading room and would be
more than enough for the next hun
dred years. Now from the Sidewalk
up, we have four floors, that is, 1888
multiplied by 4, which is 81, 356 square
feet This would be room for 100
years. There is no doubt as to the
fact that there is a "NIGGER" in this
wocdpile. Any man who would stoop
so low as to sell this property, would

ASOUITHS LEGISLATION NOT so DRASTIC

There is quality of surprise In the
usual comment upon Premier Asquith
and his minimum wage law. which
shows that much of world tendency In
political and economic fields has es-
capped observation even by those whose
especial function it is to watch the
world and interpret it's manifestations.
Even 80 well informed a paper as

HARTFORD'S WATER SUPPLY

The water supply of Bridgeport
vas established in 1853. 1t was scan
~ and dirty. The leading citizens
of the town, men like the late d. F.
Read and the late w. D. Bishop
waged many sturdy fight to have
the supply improved. Buildings burn
ed for lack of water. One fire. the
water supply being scanty, consumed
factory and destroyed twelve lives.
At last a rival water company ap-
peared, and, as result of the threat
ened competition, the company final
1y provided a larger supply.
During all this long period Hart
ford owned its own water works, made
a large yearly profit from the sale of

much arid and semi-arid land which

In the meantime some of the bes.

price.
But in the great drouth of two
years ago Hartford was threatened
with water famine. Immediately
preparations were made to increase
the supply, and the work is to begin
this spring, the Nepaug, project which
completed, will take care of the cap
ital city for some time to come.
There were no meetings of indigi-
nant citizens, and no score of years
of waiting for private persons to
move. The city owned the supply, and
the city increased the supply as soon
as the necessity appeared
The moral is plain.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-23

Those who mark the great flood of
immigration coming into the United
States do not always think of the
large migration out of it. This lat
ter exodus has been a faithful theme
in the House of Representatives, dur
ing a day or two past, while propos-
ed changes in the Homestead law are
being considered. 1t is planned to
reduce the period in which the set
tier may receive his patent from five
TO three years, and to take off some
of the restrictions which have pre-
vented him leaving his plot of land

on errands of necessity.

and existing forms of land tenure, a
much more ruthless interference with
private property than Asquith at
tempts.

legislation described as existing in
New Zealand.
Germany regulates rates. compels

was more drastic. Slaves were legal
ly the best kind of property. But
they were confscated.
The lesson of this is that property
rights are what they are by social
permission. Whenever society chan
ges its mind about them, the rights
change.
The changes now in being are such
as might be expected to follow the
democratization of government con-
sequent upon manhood suffrage
Societies which were formerly OPP
Grated In the behalf of mobiles able
to buy armour, were transformed in
to societies operated in behalf of bus

The era of government by and for
business men seems about to close,
and be followed by government by
and for the people. Since the peo-
pie are by great majority workers,
and since workers cast most of the
votes, it would be strange if the
drift O; governments were not stead

which are first for the well being OF
the workers.
