SAVING TROUBLE
ny GEORGE FITCH,
Author of sAt Good Old siwash."

Saving trouble is a thing which ruins
men and makes mankind great
All men are born with an ambition to
save themselves trouble In this case
trouble generally means work. When a
man can save an hour Of work he In as
happy as IL he had just found a guar
ter and knew a place where he could
spend it without too much exertion.
There are two ways OF saving trouble.
They are as similar as war and peace,
and their results can be distinguished
Mankind is divided into two classes, ac-
cording to their motive for saving
trouble.
One class Of men saves trouble in or
der that they may have as little of It
as possible. One can find these men
everywhere, but particularly In places
where loafing Is the most salubrious and
where the Job cometh not.
This sort of man will let his corn go
uncuitivated in order to save himself
trouble: will let a customer go away
unsatisfied to save trouble. and win save
himself so much trouble and worry and
labor In an ordinary Job that his en-
ployer will often sell out In order to get
rid Of him.
There Is another class Of men who
save trouble in order that they may have
time to accumulate more trouble. These
men will spend a week in figuring out
how to do two hours work In one. but
they will not go fishing IN the second
hour. They will do two hours more Of
work.
Trouble saving Of this kind has given
us the sewing machine. thu spinning
machine, the steam engine. the corn
planter. the self-binder. the telephone,

The grand jury report states that many
of the cells are unfit for the housing OF
animals. a majority OF the cell blocks
are infested with vermin. which II is i'm.
possible to eradicate, owing to the con-
structiop of the prison. while the medi-
cal staff Is declared to be inadequate and
inefficient. and many prisoners are said
to have become insane through confine-
ment in the cooler" or dark cells.
The capacity of the prison Is l. 200. but

within it. The hospital facilities are like
wise overcrowded. there being no pro-
vision for the segregation Of contagious
cases. while in all parts OF the institu-
ton, prisoners afflicted with tuberculosis
are allowed to mingle with healthy men.
The investigators found that owing to
the perpetual dampness which exists in
many parts Of the cell houses. many of
the prisoners are suffering from rheuma-

The President Holds the Whip Hand.

The way may be long and the road
may be hard, but the signs all point to
the fact that the President will be able
to secure from the present session of
Congress currency legislation.
Mr.. Wilson cannot now turn back, if
indeed he would. His forthcoming
message to Congress will recommend
legislation, and legislation he will get.
1t may not be of kind upon which
there will be full accord, but it will be
better than the present archaic system
and it will check existing criticism.
The President is not such a novice
but he is aware that it behooves him to
strike while the iron is hot. Give his
opponents an inch and they will take
the proverbial ell. If currency reform
is difficult today it will be tenfold
more difficult next December. If the
fight is postponed two years it will
mean that the country mast look to
the next administration for its remedy
The President knows his power. He
knows that every victory strengthens
him, every defeat weakens him. His
administration has just commenced.
The new tariff law is to all intent and
purpose on the statue books. It
will have been placed there in no small
part by Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives who yielded their personal
views rather than incur the hostility
of an administration which overwhelm-
ingly had been voted into power.
The protests and the hesitancy at
the. Capitol are not unnatural The
Bryan disaster of 1896, fought on the
currency question, is too recent a po-
litical event not to cause cold chills
to run up and down the Democratic
spine. The taunt OF 5o-cent dollars,
Coin" Harvey's displacing Thomas
Jefferson as the Democratic authority,
form in the Democratic textbook a
chapter to which no member of that
party can afford to turn.
The President may well reason that
it is precisely to avoid repetition of
the dark days of Organism that the
party welfare demands that the ques-
ton be disposed of.
The President holds the whip hand.
He will get currency legislation at this
session, or he will never get it.
When the roll is called it will be
found that few Democrats in either
Senate or House will have the temer-
ity to answer no.

TOTAL VALUATION VALUATION
 IS TEN MILLION
TAX BOOKS ARE COMPLETE AND TURNED OVER TO THE COL
 HECTOR FOR HIS WORK.
Increase in Total Valuation Less Than s3oo,ooo Over That of the
 Year Before.

l The total valuation as shown by the tax books of the county, which were completed yesterday by Frank Me Cam and turned over to County Col lector Evander Housley, shows the sum of $10,070,66O in all taxable prop erty of the county, and increase of less than $300,000 over last year, when the total valuation was $9,752,- 960.
 Of this sum the division is as fol lows: Real estate. s7561 ,050 Personal, s1,795,2S0. Railroad, etc, $714,33O. There will be 6.526 qualified voters in the county provided all who are | assessed pay their assessments, but this is never done, and the list prob ably will be diminished one-fifth by the time the poll books are made up. Of the number 5,437 are whites and l,0S9 are negroes. The whole is an increase over last year
 There are some freaks shown in the totals of the tax books, one in particular which shows that by this record there are only 316 watches carried in Garland county. while there are 40S pianos. As matter of fact there are probably 316 watches in any one of the large wards of the city of Hot Springs
 The list shows some other interest ing statistics, as follows:
 Horses, 2,Sf7.
 Mules, 2,030
 Cattle, 9,S76.
 Sheep 2.119
 Hogs, 9,308.
 Wagons and vehicles. 2,61S.
 Pianos, 403.
 Watches, 316.
 In the matter of how much money there is in the county, this item is shown in the matter of money and credits and amounts to $39S,945. An other interesting feature of the report is that the value of all the merchant Idise in the county, including stock in stores, etc, amounts to but $507710

NO GAMBLING ON
 MALVERN AVENUE
COUNTY JUDGE MOONEY ISSUES EMPHATIC EDIcT IN GRANT
 ING SALOON LICENSE.
No Applications Filed From the Sixth Ward, Where Liquor Had Been Voted in by a Small
 Majority.

County Judge Robert Mooney put gambling under the ban on Malvern avenue at least yesterday when in is- suing the saloon licenses to appli- cants in that section he made the em- phatic and unqualified statement that clause against gambling under the same roof would be inserted in each license, and that the first proof that came to him that the clause had been violated would call for an immediate revocation of the license.
 There had been remonstrance hled by Attorney O. H. Sumpter represent ing Fred F.. Johnson and other proper ty owners of Malvern avenue who set up that their property was lJured Dy the saloons in that gambling was con ducted in connection with most or them, and that negroes congregated on the streets about such places.
 sIn putting in this clause said County Judge Mooney, 'it is not done for any less purpose than to help con ditions on Malvern avenue. It IS either a case of the saloons cutting out the gambling features there where they are objectionable, or the licenses will be revoked as the complaints are es- tablished before my court"
 Tom Doherty was the only other property owner to file his objection, and he stated that he had nothing to offer against saloons being properly conducted. but that he would urge that an anti-gambling clause be inserted and enforced Ut is the crap games run in connection with the saloons on Malvern avenue that make the ne- groes crowd the streets" said Dough erty. Negroes flock to a craps game just like flies to molasses."
 There were no applications for H. cense in the sixth ward, probably be- cause the position of the county judge in the matter had been indicated. Judge Mooney had stated that, after the remonstrance had been filed, he thought it best that no licenses be granted in that section, too far out for police protection.
 Other licenses as applied for were generally granted, and while there were some remonstrances filed as to various sections, these were not sus- tained. The licenses granted were:
