Land Offices report great deal of

notable for the large areas of the
Government domain to be taken by

years on homestead preliminary to

TIE RECALL.

While the general principle Of the
recall is good, the amendment pro-
viding for it in this state, to be voted
upon September @ is faulty in the
small number of petitioners require ed
to secure a recall election. Under
this proposed amendment y per cent
Of the voters who elected him may by
petition require any ofiiceholder to
seek reelection at any time before
the expiration Of his term. Twelve
per cent is entirely too small a pro-
portion Of the lectorate to WELD such
a power. Almost any successful can
didate for an Office will, in a hard
fight. incur the il-will and enmity Of
a considerable portion Of his eonstit-
ueney, and however efficient an Off
Ger he might prove to be, a sufficient
number of disgruntled voters, with
the small percentage required, could
be found to require him Immediately
to seek another election
A good many other defects have
been pointed out in the proposed
amendment providing for the recall,
but this one fault is sufficient to con
denim it, and it ought to be defeated.
Properly drawn, however, and
heldged with reasonable restrictions,
a recall amendment should be placed
in the constitution of Arkansas. Some
means ought to be provided whereby
the voters could rid themselves of a
public servant who proves unfaithful

JUDGING from the numerous edito-
rial explanations being given in prac-
tically all the county papers carrying
the anti-prohibition advertisements of
Messrs. T. A. Wright & Co, it is evil
dent that these papers are facing con-
siderable criticism at home. And the
"two" papers (of which the Log Cab
in Democrat was onel which declined
this advertising have multiplied con-
sderably since Messrs. Wright & Co.
wrote to this paper. Among the ex-
changes received this week by the Log
Cabin Democrat, there have been at
least dozen which have taken the
same stand as this paper, and less
than one-third of the papers of the
state are received on exchange by this
office.

! THE advertisements now appearing
in various country papers throughout
the state against prohibition are of
such character that the Log Cabin
Democrat finds much satisfaction in
its refusal to accept them for publ
cation. Everyone knows that there is
no stronger prohibitionist in the ma
ton than William j. Bryan. A total
abstainer himself, he has consistent
ly fought the liquor forces whenever
and wherever it was possible for him
to do 50, going even so far as to re-
fuse to support the Democratic NOM
inee for governor in his home state
because the nominee was an avowed
enemy of prohibition. Yet we find
Messrs. T. A. Wright & Co. publish
ing advertisements which seek to
make Arkansas voters believe Bryan
is against statewide prohibition. Bry-
an was for county option in Nebraska
because the voters of the counties had
no more means of prohibiting a sa-
loon in the county than they had of
prohibiting a grocery store. In that
fight, instead of battling for local OPP
ton the whiskey forces were con-
demning it with all the vigor that
Arkansas whiskey men are now con-
demning statewide. The same fight
was made in Arkansas over 30 years
ago, the prohibitionists securing a To-
cal option law in 1879 Did the whis-
key men of Arkansas favor local OPP
ton then? Not that anyone can re-

THE Turner-Jacobson bill, which
seeks to equalze the assessments in
the state, through the freaks of po-
Htical fortune, win doubtless be de-
feated. There are probably some fea-
lures Of the bill which are open to
criticism. 1t would be difficult to
imagine measure Of 12S sections
that would be absolute in its perfee-
ton. Yet, the only alternative offer
ed by the Democratic nominee for
governor. who condemns the Turner
jacobson bill, is to borrow money at
interest to cover the present indebt-
edness and to raise the general reve-
nue. rate to a sufficient sum TO cover
all appropriations and provide sink

A LONG and bitter war between cit
liens of Russellville and the light
and water company of that city has
been amicably settled by the company
granting substantial reductions in its
rates for electric current and conces-
sions as to the installation of water
service. The new rates for residence
lighting is 15c per kilowatt for the
first 20 kilowatt hours, and Toe for
all in excess of 20 kilowatts, the min
imum monthly bill to be ST. The old
rate was zoe per kilowatt hour. For
business lighting current is sold at
Toe per kilowatt hour for the first
100 kiowatts down to &c for 800 or
more kilowatts used in one month.
For power a fiat rate of sc per kilo-
watt hour is charged for two horse
pc ar or more, less than two horse
power taking the business lighting
rate. For water 40c per 1000 gal
Ions is charged. Compared with Con-
way, the rates are slightly lower for
electricity and considerably higher
for water. But in producing electric
ity Russellvile has the advantage of
water power, eliminating the cost of
fuel, the largest item in the cost of
operation of the Conway plant.

ONE of our wise solons is advocat-
gin the printing Of textbooks for use
in the public schools by the convicts
of the state A bright idea! Then
the convicts not employed in manu-
featuring the books could be used as
teachers in the schools and expOund
the books their fellow-prisoners had
produced of which would save
the people a lot of money. And it
would of course be an easy task to
transform all the prisoners into jour
neyman printers and competent teach
ers. All that would to be done would
be to endow them with brains, remove
their prediction to crime, give them
a good high-school education and then
allow them about four years training
to master their profession.

EMINENT CATHOLIC FAVORS
v, PROHIBITION.

In the current issue of the South
ern Guardian, the official organ of the
Roman Catholic church in Arkansas,
appears a sermon on the prohibition
question recently delivered by Monsin-
ger j. M. Lucey, one of the most prom
inent Catholic divines in the state and
a veteran of the Confederacy. The
sermon is noteworthy in the fact that
Mgr. Lucey comes out boldly and un-
eauivocally for statewide prohibition
in Arkansas.
Recognizing the fact that the Ger
man element, which composes fully
one-half of the $4,000 Catholics in Ar
kansas, is, by heredity, national Gus
toms and belief, almost unanimously
opposed to prohibition of any kind,
Mgr. Lucey goes on to say:
"A pastor OF congregation and a
vicar general of diocese should not
take position on public question,
in my opinion, that would place his

THE whiskey men say if statewide
prohibition is adopted vast sums of
money will be sent outside the state
for liquor instead of being left at
home. No spirituous or malt liquor
is manufactured in Arkansas now
and the dealers in this state are al
ready sending vast sums outside the
state for liquor. The only thing pro
hibition will do will be to deprive
them of the margin of profit they
make in handling the liquor The
bulk of the money goes out of the
state anyway.

The claim of the whiskeyites that
if statewide prohibition IS adopted
doctors viii set up blind tigers and
furnish whiskey on prescriptions to
all who apply, is a gratuitous insult
upon the medical profession in this
state. We believe there is not state
in the union where the physicians, as
a class, have a higher regard for pro
fessional ethics, and this belief IS
borne out in the advanced legislation
regulating the practice Of medicine
that has been secured through their
organized efforts OF course, as IS
the ease with all professions, there
are perhaps a few disreputable men
claiming to be physicians who would
abuse the liquor privilege conferred
upon them But this proportion Of
the medical fraternity in Arkansas Is
so infnitesmally small that it IS a
gross reflection upon the whole pro
fession to charge that the doctors will
wilfully abuse and violate the anti
liquor laws.
