TINE British Government. on
the score Of expense, de-
clires to become a party to
the Panama Exposition in San
Francisco; the British people are
at their wits end to find some
method by which they can rem
edy the blunder OF their rulers.
Press and public are fairly
agreed that the action of the
Government does an injustice to
the British people. Even the or
gans Of the aristocracy and the
journals that live by a servile
adulation Of the aristocracy, pro-
test in a superCilious kind OF way
that It would have been wiser to
meet the wishes Of the American
people. The newspapers that rep
resent the sound, serious, good
hearted British people are unani-
nous in condemnation Of the
pairing. short sighted pol
icy OF the British Cabinet.
1t is not the first time in Brit
fish history that the people have
been wiser than their rulers. Il
IS not the first time in the his
tory OF the Anglo-American rela-
lions that the British people have
stood out against the British Gov
eminent in love and loyalty to the
people Of this country.
ct HE glorious Fourth OF July"
is glorious in the eyes OF the
British people. And they glory
In It. The American people have
never had a war with the British
people-they only fought the
British rulers. The British peo-
pie were doing the same thing at
the same time. They were fight
Ing their rulers. and on the same
grounds. They were demanding
for themselves the freedom which
the colonial forces won on the
hard-fought fields. Washington
and the Revolutionaries had no
better friends IN the world than
they had among the earnest men
in England, whose names are for
ever bound up with the develop
ment Of British liberties. Qua
kers, Unitarians, Congregation
alists, Baptists were the unfaIter-
ing friends Of the American Rev

4 SPOONFUL IN TIME.

The season is drawing near when mosquitoes will begin to make things interesting if We don't look out.
 Of course not like these pests do in most places-they're never that way in Mena or Polk county-but even one mosquito is superfluous- in fact, an abomination. Who. in fact. would not swat the last lone one of his race if he had him an chored and had a "swatter?"
 Capt p. H. Miller, Mena's health officer, is going to use his best of forts to have the mosquito swatted early-in fact very early-even be- fore he becomes a mosquito. And he wants all of Us to help him do it and save ourselves and others much later trouble
 Capt. Miller simply is calling the attention of everyone who will listen to the fact that a drop of common coal oil rightly applied will do wonders \ spoonful of coal oil. or crude oil. poured on the top of rain barrel will annul the best efforts If Nature to make of that receptacle a breeding ground for mo>qui.5es-that is. until that oil is evaporated or washed away The same remedy applied 10 stagnant pool will do as well.
 Look over your premises. See fl there is a collection of tin. cans. an old bucket or a weed patch where the pests will breed. A single old tomato can and a pint of water is foundation enough for a mosquito colony sufficient to wreck the peace of a whole neighborhood
 A spoonful in time-and little care will save much annoyance.

TALKED ON AGRICULTURE.
Prof. LasSetter Addressed Glass in
 High School.

Prof, ". c. Lassetter, assistant agronomist Arkansas Experiment Station, in Mena to look after the work at the local station, made an address of 45 minutes before the class in agriculture of the Mena High school. The talk covered a wide scope, and held close attention .of the students, One of the points brought out was the change in re- cent years of the standing or esti- nation in which farmers were held. Years ago farmer was looked upon as man who was unfit for anything else, but nowadays farm nlg IS a profession requiring the most expert training It embodies the practical application of the principles of all the sciences relat- ed to nature, namely. physics chemistry, botany, geology. etc. The practical farmer can no longer af- ford to be a soil robber. but in- stead, he must learn to reap great CT profits, and at the same time in- crease the productive power of the soil. Points were emphasized bv reference to results secured at inc Mena Sub-Station.
 Prof. Lassetter left Wednesday Tor headquarters at Fayetteville.

MONEY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS.
State Board of Education Will Dis
 tribute S50.000.

Little Rock. May l5.-The State Board of Education will meet in this city May ?. for the purpose of distributing the s5O.000 state aid Ito high schools. Final reports from all schools expecting to par ticipate in the distribution, show ing that they have compiled with the requirements of the law, must be filed prior to that date. with the board. Failure to do this will make it impossible for the board to make final payment of the state aid. Sev- eral schools last year lost this money through the neglect of the teachers and school officers to make these reports as required by law.

FUTRELL PARDONS
 MAN OLD AND SICK
ConVicted in Justice Court for Sell ing Whisky, George B. Adams Has Suffered Much and
 0beyed All EaWS Since.


 Little Rock. May 16-There is. no law or regulation 90 haId and fast that it cannot under certain eOndi- tions be set aside. This Is true of the rule which has been established by Governor FutreIl that he will grant no pardons. Thursday after noon he granted the second pardon since he has been in office, the re- cipient of his clemency being George B. Adams of Hampton, Cal houn county, who Is 65 years old and in very feeble health. He was convicted in a justice court of sell ing whisky July 10, 1910. Owing to his age and the loss of his wife and son about that time by death, he was allowed by the court to give a note for the fines and permitted to leave jail on his bond. For near " two years he has not violated the law and has given every evidence of reform.
 His pardon was recommended by the justice of the peace, the circuit judge and the prosecuting attorney of the district, and by the county officials of Calhoun county. There were also two petitions presented asking for the same. one petition by men of Hampton and the other by the ladies of the town. It ap- pears that practically every person of prominence there has urgently requested the pardon. and after due investigation no objection whatever could be found to the extension of executive clemency.

 We refer to Mir. Kirkpatrick just now, because he offered a resolu- ton at the Marianna meeting of the Arkansas Press Association asking the press to give siOe,ooo in free advertising to the possibilities of this state. ....
 Doe not MT. Kirkpatrick realize that the Arkansas newspapers give away about S50000O annually of VALUABLE SPACE in boosting Ar kansas?
 Why does he want to cut down the amount?

As to Fiqhtinq.

A preacher who will fight with his fists Is wrong in heart says Editor Rankin in the Texas Chris tian Advocate. There are times when If he don't do it there's some thing wrong Tn his backbone.-TeX- arkana T-Narhauian.
 Correct. The preacher is a human being and not different from the ordinary layman. He should de- fend his person when the occasion to do so is forced upon him-TyleT COurier-Times.
 A preacher certainly has as good a right to fight as anybody. but how can the TeXarkanian and the Cour- ier-Times reconcile their position with the teaching of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount? It simply cannot be done What the world needs 10 learn is that moral courage is divine. while many beasts pos sess physical courage in a degree at least equal to that of the most reckless daredevil of a man. The courage which enables man to obey the command. Avenge not yourselves. is truly sublime Marshall Messenger.
 There's a vast difference between averaging" and delivering a good sockdollager when and where it is needed We said there are times. '' and We stand pat. Christ was con- fronted with one of those occasions. and he used the cudgel vigorously. -Texarkanian.
