Circuit Judge George Reed of one of the northwest Arkansas circuits, is making a record in dealing with young violators of the law that is worthy of the highest commendation. During his service on the bench he sus- pended sentence against 450 boys and young men on condition that they would obey the law and not get in trouble again. Out of this humber but one has been brought before Judge Reed for a second ofense. There is sense, and
 justice in the method which Judge Reed uses in dealing with those who violate the law for the first time.-Sharp County Rec ord. The example set by Judge Reed ought to commend itself to many of our lower courts where the young offender is hardly given the clemcncy that would do more to bring Q reformation of character than too stiff an in- fiction of the laws penalty. Prison sentences reform So few criminals, that they are now
 regarded as serving but one purpose, and that is the punish ment of crime and misdemea- nor. Confirmed criminals are ever an expense to society and the state, and the better meth cd is to temper justice with mer- cy in all cases, where hope is offered of creating a better man, of changing the channel of the offenders life into the more healthy avenues of good citizen ship and right living.

The good roads movement throughout the state is not con fined to the owners of automo- piles alone, but the farmers and land owners realizing the bene- fits to themselves have joined in the movement most heartily. Any road that is good for an automobile is better for farm wagon or for a horse and bug BY. The question of better roads is one that appeals to the city and the country alike, with the preponderance on interest on the part of the country.-Mon- roe County Citizen.

calling attention to the necessity of assessing the property at a full 50 per cent of it's value.
 ''The Board of Equalization is the most important official body in the county" declares the Commission. ''The law imposes upon the assessor the duty of assessing both real and personal property. As a rule, however, the assessor has fallen into the practice of dumping on the board of equalization the work of assessing real property. He simply copies the assessment of each tract as made the previous year, no matter if the same is less than 20 per cent of the value of the property. With respect to the assessment of personal prop erty the situation is but little better. Ordinarily the assessor assumes that he is compelled to accept the list of the taxpayer and that a personal returro
 be raised by the board of equali- zation only"
 The Commission urges a con- plete assessment at 50 per cent, and adds: If all the property of the state is assessed on a ba- ! sis of 50 per cent of its full value. the total assessment of the state will go beyond S600,00O.O00. II nore than $l7O,OoO,OOO above vhat it was in 1912

most of us, for who knows just what the real conditions are? The substance of President Will sons message to congress is for the American people to ob- serve neutrality, between the factions now cutting each oth- CTS throats and exercise pa tience, for the protection of American lives will be insured against both rebel and govern ment forces and reparation for property losses will be made when peace is restored. While we can't see exactly how these things are to be brought about, the people do not want war with Huerta or with the Constitution alists or other rebels. We have little to gain and war would cots little to gain and war would cost besides placing upon our shoul- ders a greater national respon- sibility than we now face. The country needs and has confidence in the administration of Presi- dent Wilson, believing that this problem will be worked out pa tiently and to the best interests of both countries. That's about as far as any of us can go and feel sure of our ground.

Splendid Advertisement.

Arkansas is getting some valuable advertising just now, owing to the good roads move ment that has gained rapid headway throughout the state. Good roads have been the one thing most needed to tear down the wall of ridicule that has been builded up about this state. Bad roads have been the butt of many a joke at the expense of Arkansas. Here is an extract from the Southern Construction News which shows that the na- tion has it's eye upon this favor ed section just now and is watch ing our development with a friendly spirit: Craighead-Planning a mod el road to the county line. Pur- chased much good roads machin- cry and equipment. Lincoln-Planning to spend I$100,O00 on model macadam road to connect at Tamo with Jeffer- son county's fine new highway.

BRILLIANT REDS
LIKED in PARIS
Shades Which May or May
Not Be Successful

Paris, Jan. S.-Among the colors
in favor, red-a very rich red, between
ruby and caroubier-will be much
worn on the Cote d'Azur for fancy
and morning costumes. l cannot say,
however, that I admired some tailor
costumes of red velvet incrusted with
Venise lace and trimmed with social
ed natural colored fox of that warm
tore between carrotty-red and yell
low.
On the other hand, the originality of
a poncea velvet with short ermine,
colero, was very effective as a CON
trast.
The bolero was trimmed with a pic
turesque fringe Of the tails, as was
also the large fiat ermine muff. Under
the short sleeves of the robs, but this
detail, I admit, was not very pleas
ing.
Among the large nantes much adj
mired is a sort of cape in chinchiIja
squirrel. It was difficult to say where
the sleeves began-indeed one might
almost say there were none. This
mantle, which accentuated the slop-
ing line of the shoulder, was fasten~
ed there, the draped folds being held
in place by an embroidered plaque
It was lined with cerise brocade and

golden rule POLICING
ABOLISHES A COURT
One Closed as URRGGdGd in
Cleveland

Cleveland, Jan. 8.-The Golden
Rule Policy" has abolished one Of
CleyeIand's police courts, and has left
hardly enough work for the remaining
judge, so Police Chief Kohler reports
to Mayor Baker The golden rule or
common sense policy, in effect since
Jan. /, 1908, consists in avoiding trig-
iaI arrests. The idea is that an arrest
is disgrace is likely to cause loss
of important employment and ought
to be avoided unless necessary to pun
ish or prevent crime.
The arrests in 1912 numbered T774, |
as against 1916 in 1911, and against
80,41S in 1907, before the new rule
went into effect.
In addition to the actual arrests,
.34,175 persons in 1912 were brought
to the station houses, warned and re-
leased. IN the hist FIVE years the ar
resta have totaIad 4O,578 and 9l,O59 |
other persons have been warned and
released,
This" says Chief Kohler, does
not include the thousands upon thous-
ands of persons who We're warned AMI
released on view through the good
judgment exercised by the officers and
not taken to the police stations"
The chief says he Use sorry, but
there is no law against the smoking
of cigarettes and drinking of iquoG
by females in public grills and cafes.
In any business or manufacturing
industry" adds Chief Kohler, the
transactions of the same can be
shown at once, either by records or
stock, but in police work it is differ
ent. We have nothing to show in
stock or substantial records further
than honesty and integrity. No rec
ords can be kept of the great amount
of time spent in investigations and in
QUESTIONS, of days and weeks spen,
in running down murderous assaults,
investigating burglaries, on the look
out for thieves and suspicious peru
sons, housebreakars, etc, and ofttimes
without results. 1t need b eve could
point to the presence Of prisoners in
Jail, but that feature is the least of
our work, and the most embarrassing.

MUST HANG PERFECTLY EVEN Il
Proper Length Of the Present Short
Skirt Apt to Cause Trouble for
the Home Dressmaker.

Now that short skirts are the cor
rect and fashionable thing to wear, it
is most important that the bottom OF
the skirt shall hang perfectly even,
the same distance from the floor at
every point.
Home dressmakers viii find this a
somewhat difficult task II they are at
tempting to fit the skirt upon them
selves. When making a skirt. finish it
completely, excepting for the hem;
then slip the skirt on and hook 1t in
place around the waist. Now take a
yardstick, place one end on the floor,
pressing it against the skirt; then at
the top where the stick touches the
skirt make a faint mark with a
piece OF tailor's chalk. Repeat this
all around the skirt and from these
points measure toward the hem, mark
ing 1t the length you desire. You can
then turn the hem up at these marks
and be sure that it is exactly even at
the bottom. Walking skirts should
be three inches from the floor, out
ing skirts four inches, and those for
indoor wear an inch and half
Another way to mark the length of
a skirt, but one which requires the
aid of another person, is to take a
fiat piece of cardboard or a ruler and
mark on it the distance the edge OF
the skirt is to be from the floor when
finished. Place the skirt on the
wearer and move the ruler around the
skirt, placing pins at intervals where
the mark shows the length wished.
Turn the hem up at this point all
around.
A skirt gauge that can be bought at
any department store for small sum
is fitted with piece of tailor's chalk
fixed on rod in such manner that
1t can be lowered or raised to any
length you wish. By placing this on
the floor the skirt can be marked
evenly as the wearer turns slowly
around.
