GOVERNOR FREES
AGED C0NYICTS
ASSERTS PAROLE POWER
ACTION OF EXECUTIVE RAISES
QUESTION OF CONSTITUTION
AL AUTHORITY.

Little Rock, Oct. 2.-Tuesday was a
busy day in pardon business with the
governor. He denied 20 petitions,
granted "a and passed number of
others.
An especially interesting situation
was that of FIVE aged men whom he
had seen personally at the peniten-
tiary, all of them being old, infirm
and unable to work. The governor,
acting under what he believes to be
authority of the constitution, granted
paroles in several of the cases, al
though paroles have heretofore been
granted only by the board. He adj
mitted that his action might raise an
issue if any one desired to take it up.
These men are:
John w. Marsh, Marion county, 73
years old, convicted January 80, 1912,
of embezzlement, very feeble; sentenc-
ed to one year; pardoned
c.. j. Nelson, jefferson county, SO
years old, three years for false pre-
lenses, almost totally blind; pardoned.
Sam Cook, st. Francis county, Ga
years old, convicted September, 1908,
murder; sentenced to hang, later com
muted to 20 years, paroled on condi-
ton that he shall violate no law.
J. A. Murphy, Desha county, 81
years old, very sick, convicted Janu-
airy 80, 1912; grand larceny; has
brother in Ottawa, Kan; paroled on
condition that his relatives take care
of him.
w. H. York, Chicot county, grand
larceny. three years; convicted Octo-
Der 23, 1911: 60 years old, has tuber-
culosis; pardoned. :,
The governor has never advocated
pardoning a convict on condition that
he leave the state, but he pardoned
Don Hallman, 19year-old boy OF
Pulaski county, on condition that ne
leave the county. He pardoned Joe
Snyder of Garland county, convicted
in 1905 of forgery and sentenced to
two years. escaped after one year,
conditioned upon his making good
citizen. He announced that he would
pardon George Westerfield of Garland
county December l.
Tn hardening FLOYD Bradford OF
Pulaski county. convicted or aSSauic
to rape. the governor heaped coats OF
fro upon the head of Prosecuting At
tornev Rogers, who had severely crit
c;sed him for recent pardon of Robert
Armstrong. The governor sad:
nnhesitatingly take the opinion OF
Prosecuting Attorney Rogers about
This case. notwithstanding he refuses
to take nine CONCERNING similar otfens-
es. and | trust that the citizens, who
might be disposed. will refrain from
hanging him in effigy for making such
recommendation.
The Jack the Shooter letter which
secured the pardon of Robert Arm
strong, is figuring in an application
made for the pardon of John Henry
Warren, a negro sentenced to % wears
for entering the home Of one Gray.
The writer of the anonymous letter
admitted the crime.

Although the appointments are to

SUNDAY SCHOOL
TO TAKE CENSUS

The Conway Baptist Sunday school
will this week begin to take relig-
ious census of the city, ascertaining as
nearly as possible the name, age,
church membership or preference of
every person, and whether or not he
is attending Sunday school. A
house toulouse canvass will be made,
and it is intended to make the census
as accurate as possible. The informa-
ton gained will be used in increasing
Sunday school attendance by personal
solicitation of those found not to be
regular attendants.

COST or HAULING PRODUCE.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t cannot
be expected that railroad and steam
ship rates for hauling farm pro-
duets will ever be very much lower
ed than they are now Doubtless
there will be some slight reductions
as efficiency of operation, improve
ment Of equipment and better
financing 90 on But these re-
ductionS cannot greatly effect the
cost Of marketing farm products.
There is however, one element III
the cost that can be radically re-
duced and that is the farmers
cost Of hauling 10 the railroads
1t Is Il remarkable fact that u
very large share Of the cost Of
getting farm products to market is
the cost OF hauling them to the
railroad STATEN. The worse the
roads over which they must be
hauled, the greater this cost. Good
roads, then, furnish the obvious
means whereby the total trauspOr
tatOn cost is to be reduced The
saving thus effected will go partly
to the producer and partly to the
consumer, 50 that good roads will
benefit practically everybody.
Hogan w. Page, director Of the
office of public roads at Washing.
ton, furnishes some strikino figures
in this connection. He declares
that during the working part Of
the year a million dollars a day is
sunk in the mud of American
roads
He adds that, while it costs
twenty-five cents to haul ton
mile over the average country road
it costs but three !ourths of cent
to haul that ton mile on the
railroad. and but three wo-hund-
redths of cent to haul it mile
on the ocean. Take the case Of
the average farmer who lives nine
and a half miles from town. 1t
costs him over twenty-three cents
more ton to haul his grain to
town than it costs the buyer to
ship il from New York to Liver
pool.
The saving of food stuff values
to the producers cannot be expect
ed to change materially from pres
ent relatives until we begin to cut
out the tremendous waste Of bad
road haulage.

The Academy Shine.

The man who has the most highly
polished shoes In Paris today is Paul
Bourget. To one Of his friends who
was marveling not long ago at their
Incompatible brilliancy he communi-
Gated. under an oath of secrecy. this
recipe:
First you wash the shoe $3.50 with
some water. Then you dry it and rub
backing cloth over it. Next you take
a second cloth. softer than the first.
and rub until the shine is perfection
itself. Then with sheep bone you
rub for five minutes to fix the blacking
and that opera ton puts it in the proper
condition to receive the polish. which
you spread on with your thumb. All
you have to do after that is to let 1t
dry"
For your shoes to acquire the acad-
smy brilliancy you polish INCREASINGLY
and then polish them some more

The Better Part of VaIor.

Nobody ever called in question the
courage of the early Spanish settlers
Of California. but there seems to have
been at least one man among their
descendants who held discretion to be
the better part of vaor A certain Don
Andreas was interviewed by his supe
riOr officer on the eve of an engagement
with the enemy and was warned that
the American was very different foe
from the Indian or the Mexican and
that courage should not be pushed to
rashness in an encounter with him.
"Have no fear. general" was the re-
sponse of the intrepid caballero. Il
would far rather that history should
record from where | fled than where
fell"
The generals mind was probably re-
lieved of anxiety concerning the fate
Of at least one individual in his com
mand by this reply.

Natural Ear Trumpets.

1t has been ascertained that the
spiral horn Of wild sheep. when so
placed that the ear is in the axis of
the coil, makes the direction from
which the ticking Of watch comes
more easily discernible. Since the ear
OF the sheep Is surrounded by the horn
1t Is inferred that the latter acts as an
ear trumpet. not improving the hearing
for distant sounds. but disclosing the
direction Of sound. This would be
useful In enabling the sheep to ascer-
talc- 'tEs- exact points wnpgce- sounds

roads Of the village. under the sacred

to rub the black from the wicks under

to let the Balkan states fight Tur-
