1t is with much pleasure that | an
nounce that through the courtesy of
the dean and his corps of instructors
of the College of Agriculture at Fay
etteville, and through the hearty CO.
operation of the public-spirited BUSH
ness men, we will have school of ag-
riculture at Conway August A to g.
inclusive.
Extension schools of the State Col
lege of Agriculture will be held in sew
eral counties of the state this season.
A few were hald last year. AS many
as 600 farmers attended the school in
Faulkner county last year.
During this school there will be one
day known as farm demonstration
day." and | would like to see every
man, woman, boy and girl in the coun
ty out that day.
Our State College of Agriculture
has a very able corps of instructors
There are none better in the south
But the State College is several miles
distant. Very few farmers in this
section have been able to attend it
But now, for short course, the State
College comes to us.
The farmers cooperative demon,
stration work and the State College OF
Agriculture are in most hearty ac-
cord, each in its own sphere working
to the same end-the betterment OF
agricultural condition. Because our
county shows spirit of progressive
ness, this school comes to aid and in
tensify the work. We want you here

Little Rock, July 24.-Returns re-
ceived at the headquarters of the va
rious political organizations indicate
that Judge Geo. W. Hays plurality
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
and that Harry H. Myers, Republi-
can, will run second. The headquar-
tiers of the Democratic State Central
Committee gave out statement last
night, claiming 10000 plurality for
Judge Hays. White county, the home
|of Brundidge, who opposed Judge
Hays in the Democratic primary,
polled the heaviest vote yet heard
from for Col. Murphy, the Bull
Moose candidate. This county, with
Pulaski and Garland, gave Murphy a
lead of 1000 over Myers. These fig
ures were overcome later in the night
when Carroll, Searcy, Newton and
other counties in Northwest Arkan-
sas were heard from. This section
of the state gave the Republican can
didate heavy vote, placing him in
the lead of the Bull Moose nominee.
Scattering returns received from
correspondents from most of the
counties in Arkansas up to an early
hour this morning indicate the cleo
ton of Geo. w. Hays of Camden,
Democratic nominee for governor, by
a large majority. A vote of less than
60 per cent of the normal was polled,
however, due to the brevity of the
campaign and discord in the ranks of
the Democrats. Friends of Stephen
Brundidge, who was defeated by
Judge Hays in the primary of June
81, in large numbers did not vote In
some cases Brundidge's name was
written in on the ballot, but this was
not done to large enough extent to
materially affect the result.
The surprise of the contest, howev-
er, seems to be the strength shown by
Harry Myers, the Republican nomi-
nee. He will probably run second.
Col. George w. Murphy, Progressive,
formerly Democratic attorney general
of the state, was expected to poll a
much larger vote. Many disgruntled
Democrats were said to be lining up
for him and at one time during the
early part of the campaign it was
said he had a chance of election.
That a detection of the Democratic
vote occurred it is certain, but it
seems Myers profted from it as much
or even more than did Murphy.
Weber, the Socialist candidate, re-
ceived an increased vote from pre-
vious totals received by that party.

way in any litigation. President Will
son is furnishing in his articles COM
plete and exact illustration Of that fact.
When the President speaks of "1he
New Freedom" he means the freedom
Of American manufacturers to com
pete with the world on unequal terms;
and when he speaks of the "Emanci-
patton Of Business" he means in fact
the enthrallment of business, and the i'm.
position Of the requirement. which he
would lay upon business Of suffering
without protest any disabilities that the
Democrats may see fit to inflict upon It,.
Such perversion of the meaning of
words is not unknown, especially in So
phistical augmentation; but one would
suppose that in public affairs Of prac-
tical Importance, and in the discussion
of great public matters, the President of
the United States would not undertake
the pervert the meaning Of words, but
would use them in their ordinary and
sense. especially if that Presi-
dent had been at the head OF a great
educational institution for years, and
ought not only to be perfectly candid
in his use OF words, but ought to be SO
advanced in proficiency as to make no
mistake In that use.

FEDERAL Law ON CONVENTIONS.

A bill has been introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Sherman of Illinois
providing for the control Of National
| conventions by Federal law. The bill
provides for supervision by the Fed
eral Government. 1t would compel the
National conventions of all political
parties to be held on the. same day,
he third Monday in June, 1916, to be-
gin with, and on the same date there
after. 1t lays down very strict and
definite rules for the election of dele
gates to these conventions, and the
certifcation of the results to the Secre.
tary of the Interior, WHO is required to
transmit the same TO the convention
for its government.
Clearly bill Of that kind would de-
stroy all spontaneity of effort, and
would make the conventions matters
of routine and control by bosses or
leaders to far greater degree than ever
known before, just as the assumption
of control over the ballots for the
various elections has practically de-
stroyed the freedom Of voting. COM
pelling the casting of the official ballot
of one party or the other, giving them
even n greater control than ever to
the party machine. Just so this
proposed control by law of the National
conventions would put the nominations
in the hands Of the party machinery
TO far greater extent than ever be-
fore.
All of these measures, nominally for
the relief Of the people and freeing
them from the bosses, result ultimate
ly in further extension of the power
Of the bosses, and the more complete
dominance Of the party machine. At
various elections in Utah in recent
years the effect of legislation designed
10 make voting free and to secure pure
elections and the greatest freedom
Of voting by the electors, we have
seen the electors bound hand and foot,
md practically compelled to vote a
machine ticket, since the ballot is a
ong one and it is impracticable for
he voter to get up his own ticket un-
ler the present methods.
The less laws interfere with the

,allots or the dictation by law of the

PERVERTED WORD MEANINGS.

We see constantly perversions in the
use of language; interpretations put
upon words that are entirely different
from their ordinary meaning An emf
nent New York lawyer is quoted as say
ing: 81 don t care what words they
use in the laws if tue court will allow
me TO FIX their meanings And that is
the crucial test in many controversies
among mankind. Those who undertake
TO Justify unusual or perverse acts or
declarations are prone to put farfetched
meanings upon words and to claim the
right to interpret words according to
their own advantage. s'We have the
right to interpret words as we please"
is a common but wholly unfoupded
claim, No one has a right to give false
meanings to words. To do this is a
crime against philology as is evident to
the student of words, for in spite of all
claims to the contrary, words do have
absolute and fixed meanings. They have
radical significances that cannot be de-
parted from if any one wants TO use Ian
guage intelligibly and Alright Ii is use.
less as well as fallacious and sophistical
to say that the real meaning of words
can be perverted and held to be diff
fercnt from the meanings established by
the root forms and the usage of man
kind.
The New York lawyer referred to, in
addressing an audience recently, held
that the term Statewide" does not
mean Statewide in tho ordinary
sense, but it simply means that the
Statewide primary, for instance, would
not necessarily mean primary for the
nomination of State officers, but that q
Statewide law would be established by
a bill limiting the direct nomination for
village officers, provided no part of the
State were exempted from its provi-
sions. That is, State wide primary
would have no necessary reference to
the nomination of State officers, but
might only mean that village officers
throughout the State were TO be nomi-
mated by primaries And thus the real
meaning of the term State-wideU
would be entirely thrown to the winds.
1n like manner we note that Presi.-
dent Woodrow Wilson is contributing q
series Of articles on "The New Free |
dom TO the World s Work The sec. |
tion of that series which is contained
in the June number is on "The Eman- |
cipation of Business Now, first of all

President Wilson appears to be re-
rather than a freedom. He
would put American manufacturers on

misuse Of the word "freedom." When.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

| Congress has been compelled to rush
| through an emergency appropriation
bill carrying 100000 for the payment
of deficiencies in the operation Of the
postal laws. Universally the need of
this emergency appropriation is laid
to the law passed by the recent Con-
gress, not only requiring the applica-
tion of the eight-hour law to postal
employees. but requiring that the eight
hours of work must fall within the
period of day of ten consecutive
hours The clerks and carriers in first
and second-class postofices have for a
good many years been working under
the eight-hour law, but the eight hours
might be at any time within the
twenty-four hours of day, according
to the needs Of the service. When the
eight hours must fall within q period
Of ten consecutive hours, then the ac-
tual effect 1s to compel the neglect Of
mails as they come In; for with the
best transportation service possible,
there is a greater margin than two
hours in the actual arrival and depart
ure Of mails. And If the time service
Of postal clerk expires for the day
just as the mail comes in or is partly
distributed and If it is illegal to al
low that clerk to keep on with the
distribution of newly-arrived mail,
then that distribution must cease until
the next day, or double shift Of clerks
employed to cover the temporary need.
The result is deferred deliveries and
complaints as wide as the Union Of
tardy deliveries OF mail and Of be-
lated service.
Two alternatives are proposed. An
increase of the service, or a return to
the eight~hour service as IL was prior
to the new requirement of compelling
the eight hours to fall within ten con-
secutive hours of given day. This
would place the service on the same
basis that 1t has been for years, aud
there would be no reason for any great
on the part OF the people.
But to increase the service force would
require an enormous addition to the
postal expenditures by providing a
force that would not really be needed
except for two or three hours in any
day.
1t is estimated that the emergency
of 100000 to meet the
additional expenditures made necessary
by the new law for temporary clerks |
is only about one-ffth OF what would |
ho 10
manent proposition. That is to say,
So 900 900 a year would be the cost |
Of this new legislation. This law is not |
worth the cost; but il seems i'm
possible to get Congress to amend any
of this kind once it has
been adopted; and it is very likely that
we shall have TO bear this additional
expense, and increase the number Of
postal employees, even though they
nay not be really needed for effective
service. But this increased employ
nent will be made necessary simply
because Congress is too cowardly to
'epeal its amended eight hour law for
ear of the general effect upon the
abor lobbies But since the labor or
have made no declaration
N this matter, it seems as though Con
yress might take chance for once,
md reirstate the old order, under
which postal employees were by no
means overworked, and S3,00O,000 in
rood money would be saved to the
public treasury every year.
