STATEWIDE prohibition will do more
to purify the politics of Arkansas
than all the corrupt practices acts
that could be imagined. For years
the "liquor vote has swung a ire
mendous influence in our elections. 1t
has generally been conceded that a
candidate with that vote at his COM
mand had an advantage of something
like $4,000 votes. Whether or not
this number is overestimated, the Ii
quor vote has always been counted
solidly in favor of the candidates
whom the liquor leaders favored.
Adopt statewide prohibition and
there will be no liquor vote.

THE shameful conditions which eX-
listed in the senate during the gen
eral assembly Of 1911 would have
been impossible under statewide
prohibition.

zoe" IS GETTING GOOD.

For years past we have been tight
ing for local option because we believ-
ed it the best thing we could get at
the time to cut down the sale of whls-
key and the debauching of many Of
Arkansas good people; but now, that
Joe Lyons, who is considered the
great head-center of the Liquor AS
socian in Arkansas, has espoused the
local option movement with the hope
of defeating statewide prohibition, we
are sure that the latter is for the'
for the citizens of the state; there
fore, we are supporting statewide
prohibition, and urge all good people
to do the same.
The following letters, written to W..
H. Nelson, editor of the Stone County
Record, shows where the liquor deal
ers stand:
Little Rock, Ark, May p, 1912.
Editor Nelson, Mountain View Rec
ord, Mountain View, Ark:
Dear Sir and Friend-As the
county central committee are about to
send in their recommendations to the
state election board to have the coun-
ty election commissioners appointed,
and as We are going to have the ques-
ton of statewide prohibition submit
ted, | would ask you to use your best
efforts to see that we get good men as
possible selected as commissioners
and who will favor local option.
IF possible, We want men who are
not fanatical prohibitionsts or fanat-
zeal whiskey men.
after the county central commit
tee has selected the election commits
sioners to the state board, will you
kindly send us what their views are
upon the question of statewide and To-
cal option?
Thanking you kindly in advance, l
remain, yours friendly,
JOE LYONS"
How good Joe is getting! He now
advocates local option, and his mouth
piece, Facts" under the control of
an ex-governor of the state, is trying
to make us believe it is the patriotism
of Joe Lyons, Ex-Governor Jones, I.
A. Wright, J H. Hand. and all 9TH
err liquor lovers, which causes them to
oppose statewide prohibition. Deliver
Ius from such gang Of patriots

A QUESTION which has been repeat

A QUESTION which has been repeat
edly asked and never answered is this:
If, as the liquor dealers contend,
more whiskey is sold under prohibi-
ton than under local option, why do
they oppose prohibition? If what
they claim is true, the only effect pro-
hibition would have upon them would
he to save the expense Of state, county
and city licenses? Why do they OPP
pose prohibition?

ANOTHER HUGE sKYscRAPER.
Springfield Union.)

The old Equitable building, regard ed as the finest office building in New York a few years ago and destroyed by fire last winter. is to be replaced with a structure 500 feet high, and pro- viding in it's 36 stories more office space than any other building on earth. It will have no tower, the front presenting a view of two facades ex- actly alike rising straight to the top, with a narrow space between and an arcade through which an entrance is gained to the middle portion of the building the whole effect being some what similar to the Hudson terminal building in Cortlandt street. The cost of this structure, of course, will great ly exceed that of the. old Equitable building. something like $12,000,000 hav- ing been invested in the site alone by the new owners, consisting of Gen. T. Coleman Du Pont and others. Though it will be New York'S- largest build ing. there win be. three other taller ones, all in Broadway.
 Perhaps no feature of American de- velopment is more, interesting or re- markable than the erection of innpos- ing business structures in our cities Plans have just been completed for a great History building in Atlanta, directly opposite the postoffice, and to cost S2 OO0, GOO when com mpleted. Every few days brings the announcement of some new structure of monumental in one or another of our marvellous cities.

YEARS AGO.
 A BASEBALL BALLAD

I've wandered to the bleachers, Tom, I've sat there in the sun, Upon those hard old wooden seats, you remember every one. But none were there to greet me, Tom, and few were left to know, That sat with us upon those seats some twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, dear Tom. spike-shoed men at play, Are sporting like the nine did then, with spirits just as gay, But the captain sleeps upon the bench he's failing sure but slow, They say that he's been camped out there since twenty years ago. The fans are just as crazy now, but the opposing throng Is larger than it was. dear Tom, while ours appears less strong The old band stand is ruined now, where once we played you know, And the baseball band was broken up just twenty years ago. Some of the team are dead and gone, some still are in the game, And the fans who used to sit with us have done about the same. Oh hope they'll have us buried, when we are called to go, Beneath the spot where home plate was just twenty years ago.
 Sam Harvey.

shown by the fact that prices have risen from two weeks to a month ahead of the scheduled time.
 In addition there is likelihood of car trouble The railroads are not un- mindful of the heavy demands which will be made this fall from farm, mine and factory for transportation facili- ties. and are making strenuous efforts to increase their supply of rolling stock. The equipment orders are ire quent and railroad supply houses are busy. However. it takes time to build railroad engine or a car, or to build railroad tracks The ques- ton is whether railroads will be able to supply their def1ciency In time to prevent serious car shortage. The likelihood is that they will not. It is this danger which more than anything else, perhaps is giving the strength to coal prices.
 Another undoubted influence is the beIated realization on the part Of coal users that they have let the storage period of May, June and July pass with out replenishang their depleted stocks. They are now coming into the market with storage orders which come upon the coal mans desk simultaneously with orders placed this time of year for coal for immediate use These war; ious things coming to a focus at a time when trade custonarily is active, has given the national coal market decidedly better tone. Of course, there is not as yet cany signs of a boom, or any tendency to pay premium prices; in fact, the stronger movement on the market is mostly one of sentiment, which is a. mental process pure and simple The demonstration of it is not in increasing prices, but. in great err strength to the prices which have heretofore. been quoted with a good many mental reservations. That is, prices now being named are actual rather than tentative and that, to the coal man, is distinct improvement.
 The one distinguishing feature for the trade for the week is that no one section seems to- take the lead over any other section in activity, although some coals take the lead from other coals The thing of importance in this connection is that those fuels which are strongest are those which are of best quality and most carefully, pre- pared. This, in fact, is the feature not only Of the trade for the week but of the trade for the coal year so far.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-08-16
COAL MEN LOOK
 FOR HIGH PRICES

The Black Dianond,'' '' the official or gan of the coal trade, in discussing the coal situation, says:
 Since the strikes and mine suspen- eions occurred last spring, there have been Acertain elements slightly under the surface of the national coal mar ket which make for a tendency toward strong, if not indeed high prices this winter For a matter of two Or three months these almost obvious fndfca- lions have been disregarded even by those who are engaged in business. Within the last week. however, the ser iousness of their possible and even probable influence has been recogniz- ed quite generally with the result that the market has taken on a cer- tain amount of strength which prom igeS to grow. The elements are a less supply of anthracite than will be called for; the liberal movements of eastern coals into export; the de- mand for more coal than was used last year: certain incapacity on the part of railroads, and the rather strik- ing fact that the coal productive ca pacity in certain fields has not been increased.
 The only one of these factors which does not have a direct and strong in- huence upon current prices is the last named. Since productive capacity for the last few years has been in excess of demand, the absence of new mine quiprnent-accounted for by the un- profitable state of business heretofore lis not just now a serious matter. The others are all of direct influence upon prices this year
 For instance. while. anthracite Dro- duction is only ten million tons less, for the first half of the year, than that produced for the first six months of last year, this does not measure the shortage The fact is that, for Jan uary, February and March the con- sumption of anthracite was fully one- third in excess of what it was last year This means that about 5000, 900 or perhaps more tons were burned than is customary This makes the net shortage at least 15, GOO, 900 to1is. Tn addition, there was, in June, a cur- tai1ment of production, due to the ab- 6ence of labor. Even now the opera elons arM bothered quite regularly by focal strikes, which means likelihood Of Irregular production until we'll along toward winter. This, with depleted storage piles. means taking a lot of anthracite coal off the market.
 Where anthracite will not be avail able the probability is for a demand for smolzeiess. It is a peculiar fact that smokeless production has not in creased appreciably in the last few years. with no large increase in out put, smokeiess companies will have market: will export between 75O, 900 tons and 1000. .Ooo tons and supply the demands which cistomarily are made upon that industry.
