SUCCESS TO LANKFORD.

A keen interest will be taken by citizens of Faulkner county in the congressional race in the Second dis trict. In that district our circuit judge, Hon. Eugene Lankford, is a candidate for congressman, and we feel sure that we voice the sentiment of our people when we say that in his canvass he will carry with him the commendation and good wishes of the citizenship of Faulkner county.
 During his term on the bench Judge Lankford has made good as a cir cult judge. He has displayed great energy and diligence in dispatching the business of the courts, and in this way has saved thousands of dollars for the taxpayers. His conduct as a judge has been above reproach. It Is never said of Judge Lankford-as unfortunately it is sometimes said ot some of our judiciary-that he is friendly to any interest" or faction or that he permits anything of the kind to influence his actions on the bench. He is not politician in any sense of the word.
 It is a good omen for the future ot our politics that we have an increas ing group of clean, progressive mel like Judge Lankford If they are bu given the opportunity, they vii smash machine domination and regen crate our politics-and the people vii give them the chance, we believe, be fore many years elapse.

THE CONTEST FOR GOVERNOR

The exceptionally close race for governor is unfortunate in that it has the effect of bringing forth allega- tions of fraud by both principals, and MT. Brundidge, whom the returns show to have been defeated by a few hundred votes, has instituted a con- test and declares he will fight to a finish the nomination of MT. Hays.
 1t would have been much better if either candidate had won the race by majority of several thousand, that there might have been no question as to the real choice of the party for the nomination. With majority of prob bably less than one per cent of the to- tai vote against him, the loser may easily feel justified in attacking any apparent irregularities m the returns.
 But in the present instance, we be- ieve, for the good of the party, if the official returns from all the counties show MT. Hays to have a majority of the votes, MT. Brundidge should con- cede the nomination and withdraw from the contest. The Log Cabin Democrat supported MT. Brundidge to the extent of it's ability and would have been greatly pleased at his nom- ination. But the Democratic party is of more importance than the success or defeat of any individual in the party, and to institute a contest at this time would undoubtedly leopard ize the party's strength and bring it into disrepute in the state And the people in recent years have had enough political turmoil and what they want most now is peace and har- mony.
 We do not believe that either Judge Hays or MT. Brundidge was a party to or cognizant of any fraud in any county. Yet in their enthusiasm the friends of each who happened to be in control of the party machinery in some of the counties may have been SuilCy oI lIiSSuidii'ico' MI DA UAi- didge points out nine counties in which he charges frauds were com mitted on behalf of his opponent and Judge Hays cites only three in which the returns seem suspicious to him. If votes were padded" in behalf of either candidate, it is probable they were padded in behalf of both.
 The place to correct these evils, if such occurred, however, is in the coun- ties in which they are alleged to have occurred and not in the councils of the state party organization. The law provides ample remedy for such offenses and the law may be easily en- forced

The people are sincerely greatful to Governor Futrell for his decision not to call special election to choose a successor for the late State Auditor John M. Oathout. Aside from the fact that we have had politics enough for one year, the appointment of the former chief deputy in the office, L. L. Coffman, is eminently satisfactory. MT. Coffman, owing to Col. Oathout' s long illness, has had the burden of the duties of the office upon him virtually since the administration changed. The people are satisfied that he is wor- thy successor to the position, and 1t is more than likely that before the DOT tion of the term to which he was ap- pointed has expired, he will be elected to a full term without opposition.

It is pretty safe to assume that q number of our citizens who forgot to pay their taxes in time this year and had to put up ? per cent penalty won't make the mistake year hence. The penalty is much higher now than it was some years ago.-Rogers Dem ocrat.
 As matter of fact, the penalty is not higher but lower than it was some years ago. The legislature of 1911 passed a law reducing the penalty for delinquent tax paying from 25 per cent to 10 per cent, and the attorney general has ruled that this reduction applies to all state and county taxes, on both real and personal property.

Student attendance at the State Col

dred mark, and with more students
yet to come next semester. 1t is expec-
ted IN April that about seventy five men
and women will take the practical auto
mobile course at the State College, a
course valuable to farmers and all who
wish to learn how best to operate the
automobile, as well as gas and other
engines for general use. It is quite
probable that the total attendance for
the year will closely approach nine hum
dred, by far the highest record ever
made. The State College is handi-
capped for room to care for all the
young men and women who are in at
tendance.

SAUL WILL BE PROSECUTED
Sioux City Banker Shows No

With Erring Young Man

From all appearances wine and won.
en-, mans worst pitfaIl, has caused the
downfall of another susceptible mortal
and Elmer Saul, whose home is in
this city, now languishes in the Sioux
City jail with penitentiarv term star
ing him III the face One would deduct
from the daily newspaper accounts of
the affair that he had enjoyed the COM
pany of one John Barleycorn to an ex-
cessive extent and that John had led
him into the company of some doll and
that she had finished the job by approp-
rating what coin he had. In his at
tempt TO replenish his empty pockets
he used too freely the signatures Of
two Of his fellow townsmen, L. T. Rust
and III. T. McClain. He obtained money
atJefferson ON the McClain check and
on the Rust check at Sioux City. When
he attempted to obtain the latter at the
Midwest bank at Sioux City, Pres.
Kearney phoned the First Nationa hank
Of this city and asked if +. T. Rust's
check was good for $4,000. Upon
being informed that it was, the money
was paid to Saul. A short time after
ward the officers of the local bank saw
Mr.. Rust in front Of the establishment
and decided that something was wrong
with the deal or that l.. r.. was using a
flying machine Mr. Rust informed
them that he had not sent or presented
q check at the Sioux City bank and the
latter was notified at once. Kearney
found Saul, obtained the money and
turned him over to the police. A letter
written by himself to Mr.. Rust was
found in his pocket and it appeared
that his intention was to kill the female
who had assisted in his downfall and
end his own life.
Messrs. Rust and McClain went to
Sioux City to investigate the affair but
Saul was snilen and refused To give
them any information. The two men
are inclined TO be lenient with him and
refused to prosecute. Kearney, how
ever, does not seem TO share the view
and viii likely push the case against
the young man. He was given hear
ing ii police court on Monday and was.
bound over TO the district court for.
trial.
The people Of this city are extremely
sorry over the trouble Elmer has gotten
himself into and are hoping the trouble
win be satisfactorily adjusted and that
he will not be forced to suffer an ex-
treme penalty Tor his foolishness. He
has always borne good reputation here
and has many friends. II he can be

likely that it will be 4 lasting lesson To-
him and that in the future he viii make
