 MONEY QUESTION.

Secretary O. D. Longstreth of the Arkansas section, National Citizens League, announced today that met ing of the business men of Faulkner county will be held at the courthouse in Conway Monday afternoon, for the purpose of discussing important mat ters in connection with the league, which has for it's object the promo tlon of sound banking system.

 Please announce" says MT. Long streth, that we regard as 'busi- ness man every man who earns a dollar, spends dollar or lends a dol lar, and invite every such person in Faulkner county to be present. I am anxious to make this an enthusiastic meeting, to which I can refer in fu- 1 ture talks before other assemblies in the state"
 The meeting to be held here is the first step in a movement to organize branch society of the league in ev- cry township and school district in Arkansas.
 Secretary Longstreth calls atten- tion to the fact that the new move ment has already been indorsed by the two state conventions, Democratic and Republican, by the Arkansas Press Association, by Arkansas busi- ness men and by the bankers of the state.
 Legislation that will give the fol. lowing results is what the organiza. tion is advocating:
 First-Co-operation, not dominant centralization, of all banks by an ev. olution out of our clearing house ex. periences.
 Standardization of the credit system of the country from the dom- nation of any group of financial o1 political interests.
 Third-Independence of the indi. vidual banks, national or state, ana uniform treatment in discounts and rates to all banks, large or small.
 Fourth-Provision for making liquid the sound commercial paper of all the banks, either in the form of credits or bank notes redeemable ir good or lawful money.
 Elasticity of currency and credit in times of reasonable demand and stringencies, with full protection against over-expansion.
 Sixth-Legalization of acceptances of time bills of exchange in order to create discount market at home and abroad
 Seventh-The organization of bet. ter banking facilities with other countries to aid in the extension of our foreign trade.

ASKS ATTENTION
 10 CLIFTON STREET CITY BEAUTIFUL WORK
COMMENDED BY PROF. c. GREENE, WHO SUGGESTS
 NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

IAdt lOI LtS 1dDlIl DeInOcTaI.
 Please allow me to express my ap- preciation of the City Beautiful As- sociation and the work it has under taken. The effects on our streets of the extreme weather of the past long winter, of the installing of the waterworks system; and of the ab- sence of the man who, of all our citi- 1 zens, gave most literally of money, time, and energy to the welfare of the city, have accumulated the need of the work the league has set itself to do. Beautifying Conway is not the passing fad or fancy of some women and a few men who like to humor them. It will increase the money value of every foot of land in and around the city It will help greatly to make the physical, mental, and moral life of our citizens-espe- cially of our chillren-more clean and wholesome.
 | am glad to see that mayor and the council are cooperating enthusi- astically with the league. Let me respectfully call the attention of these organizations to Clifton street. This street, so far as have been able to learn, has no official "side, edge or bottom Every property owner builds his front fence where it seems good to him. He is not to blame there is nowhere else to build it. The result IS, the street flops from side to side of a north -and-south line, and varies in width from 42 or 43 feet to considerably more than 50.
 Repeated efforts to secure the con- sent of property owners to straighten the street have failed. Concrete side walk is now being built on the east side of the street between Prince and Mill streets. Some of us fondly hop ed that this walk would be built to a line, and introduce some order into the making of the street. Imagine Jour chagrin on seeing that the differ ent sections of this walk that have been built, valuable and beautiful in themselves, take their own direction?
 Personally, I think that the street ought to be made straight and 50 feet wide. This width will require fewer Ichanges in sidewalks and fences than any other if the street is straighten- led. It will make every piece of prop erty more valuable. If We can not have the street 50 feet wide, let us have it 45 or 40. If it can not be made straight, let us curve it uni formly. If we can not straighten all of 1t, let us straighten part of it. By all means, let the city council lay off Clifton street according to some sort of plan, and have a surveyor show every property owner where his fence and sidewalk ought to be. Make changes reasonable and wise in view of the present and the far-future of Conway. Give everybody plenty of time to make changes. Injure no- body; oppress nobody.
 To the Ragged Edge Committee of the City Beautiful Association, l would say that there is nothing in Conway more ragged edged than Cliff ton street. To the association itself l would say, If thou canst do any thing, have mercy upon us and help us." C. J. GREENE.

Soldiers were sent against the rioters
The men and women in the mob fought
back and for time It was feared that
artillery would be necessary to clear
the streets.
The victims were shot to death by
the soldiers who were compelled to fire
several volleys before the frantic riot

Street Cars Overturned.
The members of the mob had started
out originally to make a demonstration
by marching before the government
buildings. Singing revolutionary songs
and screaming curses at members of
the government, the marchers paraded
through the principal thoroushfares.
The tumult became so great that the
police tried to clear the streets, but
were unsuccessful. The rioters at
tackled street cars. overturning them
into barricades. Automobiles and car
riages were held up and overturned in
the streets.
The police were bombarded with vol
ley after volley of stones. Filled with
the wanton spirit of violence the rioters
smashed all the windows within sight,
tore down doors and shutters of shops.
Mob Defies Troops.
1t was finally decided to call out the
troops, held in readiness in the bar
racks in anticipation of an outbreak.
Led by cavalry the soldiers marched
through the streets at double quick.
The commander of the soldiers rode
ahead and warned the ringleaders of
the mob that they had better go TO
their homes. They answered with q
volley of bricks and stones.
The order was given to charge and
the cavalrymen urged their horses
against the rioters. Five times the
soldiers charged but were driven back.
They then fired several volleys into the
