away other gospels, other messages of
hope, aside from the one which the
Bible presents. Theosophy Is one Of
these, Evolution another, New Theology
another These hold out different
gospel from that of Jesus and the
Apostles-the one given to us for our

rIood news from various sections
of the United States took on an IN

received word from Detroit that the
high waters on the outskirts of the
city had utterly failed to baik the

Few automobiles driven by owners

Returned the Fire,

The Times man unintentionally erred last week in writing up the ac. count of the attempted burglary at tile home of Capt. and Mrs. Y. C. Merwin on Thursday night of last week. as we failed to mention that MT. Will Merwin, who discovered the stranger and was fired upon several times, bravely stood his ground, re turning the fire until his revolver was emptied and he had no further am. munitian Written hurriedly the item seems to infer that Will made no attempt to capture the marauder. and in q spirit of friendly raillery. stated that when the shooting began He left for town 10 notify officers. This mistake Of our reporter was caused mainly by Mr. Will Merwin $ manly modesty in telling the partic- ulars ot lis exploit, as he failed to mention the manly part he played in the adventure.

Railroad Men Return.

Rock Island Agent C. C. Birkicht of this city and r. NJ Chaney of Madi- son are back on duty again at tLeir respective stations, after having at tending q mammoth cotton meeting held by the Rock Island Railway Company at Fl Reno Okla. This meeting was attended by the agents of the company from all the princi- comprising the divisions oftA rkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Panhandle and all the Texas lines, together with all the uperintendents, the general manager and assistant general mana ger and the train masters of the Third division, also the supervisor Of insurance, auditor of freight traffic, superintendent of car service, general freight claim agent and the super visor of the safety committee, from Chicago, making, in all, about 300 agents and officials, participating in the meeting
 One Of the purposes of the meeting was 10 formulate plans and to discuss ways and means for handling cotton shipments the coming season in the quickest and most expeditions manner possible. In the discussion the im- portant fact was developed that some thing like 100 GOO bales of cotton was handled by the Rock Island last sea son, grown in the territory known as the Third district. and the figures submitted placed the losses paid on all this business at the insignificant sum of $500, with fire losses over the entire district of only sl ,000, not one cent of which was charged against the Arkansas division. meaning that all cotton was handled over the Rock Island lines in Arkansas last season without the expenditure of single penny for losses on the part of the company.
 The meeting was closed in the la test approved style when the com pany rendered it's empla es> q swell banquet at the Southasd d5te' in Fl Reno.

Department of Education Make
 Attack on Number

The Times is opposed to the pro- posed initiative act providing for state uniformity of school text books. for various and obvious reasons. some of the most important of which are recited in the following news item:
 Little Rock, Ark, Aug 13.-The state department of education today issued statement to the voters of Arkansas attacking the proposed in- itiative act providing for state uni formity of school text books.
 The department assigns the fol- lowing reasons for opposing the measure:
 None but teachers can vote for the text book commissioners.
 None but teachers can become members of the commission.
 No other class of citizens or tax payers can participate.
 It creates perpetual board, with elections every two years.
 It keeps our schools continually in politics.
 It makes the department of educa- tion ill elections and politics
 Competitive bids for text books are not required.
 lie entire section Tor the SC electlOn of text books is faulty and hay and leaves the door open for every possi- ble abuse
 This act creates six salared state officers for all time and provides a biennial appropriation of sll, 200, all of which they may spend in their own per diem.
 The bill is too indefinite to be practicable, and business of this mag. nitude should be well protected.
 It burdens the department Of edu- cation with impossible and almost endless tasks and with great resDon- abilities, for which proper protection of public interest Is not provided, yet offers no means either in added force or funds to do this work. even if the same were not lmpracticable
