THE TARIFF LAW

The passage of the Underwood
tariff bill has not only fully re-
deemed the pledges of the Demo-
cratic party, but will place on the
statute books the first real revision
of the tariff in the interest of no
special interests, since before the
Civil War. 1t is in no sense a free
trade measure, in fact it is not
even a tariff or-revenue measure.
but it is a long step in the direc-
tion of a tariff for revenue. For
half century we have been taxed
for the benefit of special interests.
Manufacturers and others who
under Republican control were
allowed to write tariff schedules,
but the consumer had no look in.
1t was for him to pay while enor-
nous fortunes we're piled up by
few until the country could
stand lit no longer and entrusted
the making of a tariff law to the
Democratic party: How wisely
the work has been done remains
to be seen, but a party that has
lived up to its pledges to the peo-
pie in spirit as well as in letter
can afford to leave to the people
the approval or disapproval of its
ork.-Dover Index.

Seven widowed mothers of Mer-
Ger County, N. j., received pen
sion grants the other day from
Judge Gnichtel, under the new
Nichols law, and the applications
of four others were laid over for
further investigation. The allow
ances are from S14 to $50 a month.
A number of the States have
adopted the system of pensioning
widowed mothers. The last ses-
sion of the New York legislature
appointed an important committee
of investigation with the object OF
reporting facts and plans for the
passage of the wisest law on the
subject. Fifteen thousand dollars
was voted for this committee o
investigation. Besides the be

In calling the attention of our
readers to thd fact that a gigantic
evil exists in our midst we want
it distinctly understood that we
did not reflect upon the general
character and conduct of the sol
diers at Fort du Pont as a body.
We cheerfully bear testimony to
the general good conduct of the
men and believe that the number
sof vicious men at the Fort is no
larger than would be found among
the same number of soldiers OF
civilians elsewhere. If drinking
and debauchery were less preva-
lent among these men it would be
far better for them and for this
community, but in this respect
they are the arbiters of their own
destiny. 1t has been our privilege
to meet many of the soldiers and
to find them entirely worthy o.
respect and confidence. 1t is how
ever, to the interest of the soldiers

THE OLD HONESTY AND
THE NEW

The NEW.
1t is the fashion nowadays to de-
plore the general want of moral
principle and to lament the decline
of old-lashioned honesty.
But, really, how about this old
fashioned honesty =?
1t is always easy to see a saint
in dead relative, just as it is easy
to see statesman in dead poll
tician.
Grandfather's virtues, like
grandfather's clocks, may be a
badge of responsibility, but in our
own day they are not always in
good running order.
Our forefathers were no better
than we are. Indeed, to judge
from some criticism of their con-
temporaries, they were good deaf
worse.
The world in which old fashion,
ed honesty lived was singularly
uncomplicated, Smith knew
Jones and Jones knew Smith, and
if the one did not cheat the other
there was every chance that each
would die in the odor of respecti-
bility, Individualism set the
limits to old-fashiOned honesty.
We need this individualistic
honesty to-day, and we have it.
But we need to day very much
bigger sort of honesty-an honesty
which sees that our obligations are
set not alone by our relations with
one another, but also by our re-
lations with municipalities and
States, with a nation and a world.
Such honesty is not any too com.
mon, but it is growing.
Men have gone down to their
mausoleums labeled honest mil
lionaries, who were directors in
corporations whose methods would
bring bushes to the cheek of a
confidence man. According to the
standard of old fashioned honesty
there was nothing to be said again,
st these honest millionaries. But
from the point Of view of the new
honesty they were thieves though
they robbed legally.
Morality is always a generation
or two ahead of legality.
The number of offenses against
the moral and legal codes is in
creasing constantly.
Moral principle never cut so
large figure in the affairs of this
American people as it does to-day.
We have twenty moral qualms
where out godly ancestors had one.
1t never occurred to them that
a lottery was wrong, or that it was
wicked to drink whiskey, or to
whip child or a wife or to enslave
the black man and cheat the red
man.
Nine out of ten of the little
conscientious niceties of life are
discoveries of the last fifty years.
More societies to do all kinds OF
good and all kinds of reforms have
been created in the last two gener-
+ ations than had been formed OF
thought of from the beginning o.
the world.

ing to the acre to 250 to 300 pounds ot seed cotton. They don't try to grow Indian corn here except now and then a patch of june corn, which pro- duces very little. Very little fruit IS raisd here and vegetables are gen erally a scarce article. Melons do splendidly as rule, but I find this season was little to dry for them. They tell me that they often have an abundance of melons until frost. but they are very scarce at this time.
 In coming thru Taylor County we found the cotton crop about Abilene the shortest we have seen in the state There are hundreds of acres of beau tiful level firtile fields that will not make enough to justify going over the ground to gather and the feed stuff also seems to be very sorry. We feel that old Arkansas is a grand CT country now than ever before. Good water, good crops and good peo- pie. We say, hurrah for Arkansas.

Arkansas School For The Blind

The purpose of this institution is to give education and training, both practical and cultural, to the young blind of Arkansas of both seXes-an education which will fit them not only for a larger enjoyment of life but which will also enable them to become self-supporting, independent, self-re- liant citizens; to give the blind oppor- tunities, as far as possible, equal to those of their brothers and sisters who are blessed with sight.
 It is a public school for blind child ren; it is in no sense an asylum for the blind.
 All who are admitted must be sound of mind and free of any con tagious disease.
 The school is open to all blind per sons between the ages of six and twenty-six.
 Board and instruction in the liter ary department and in vocal and in- strumental music, and certain indus trial and domestic arts, are free to all persons who are eligible to attend according to the laws of the State
 The literary department compri- ses the work of the primary and grammar school grades and limited number of high school studies, cov- ering, in all, course of study for eight years.
 The younger children are taught according to kindergarten methods and here receive their first instrue- tion in "seeing thru their fingers
 In the department of music, in- struction is given on the piano, pipe organ, and on various strlnged ana wind instruments.

SCORES OF WORKERS
 ARE NOT SEEN
Hotel Staff of Gentry Shows Sel-
 dom Meets Public

With travelling cities, such as the Gentry Brothers All New Feature Shows are, there is an army of en- ployes, of whom the public sees mo- thing. These employees are entrusted with the hotel work that is incum- bent upon an institution like the big Gentry Shows.
 Cooks, walters, and hotel car DOT ters are conspicious about the show solely because of their absence from view. While the multitudes, that at tend the worlds most classy animal exhibition, are marveling at its won ders, this corps of invisible, but never the less valuable assistants, is busy making up the beds in the Pullman train used by Gentry Brothers, or they are busy preparing the meals for scores of other employees who come in closer touch with the public.
 About the only thing common to the Broadway Hotel that cannot be found with the Gentry Brothers All New Feature Shows is the telephone. this adjunct however, is unnecessary. Every employe in the big institution knows his place and his duties. Hence conversations during the day are not needed.
 With the arrival of Gentry Bro thers All New Feature Shows in this city Saturday, Sept. 27, the hundreds who toll in the cause of amusement will awake to find waiting them a hearty breakfast of the best the mar

Important Pointers in Main
 tenance of Dirt Roads

In last weeks bulletin, attention was called to the necessity for drag ing the road at this time of the year. It is exceedingly important that this dragging be done at the opportune time. If your roads are too soft, the drag will have the effect of blows. If your road is too dry, the drag will not take hold. The object of drag ging is to give your road a surface to sustain the traffic, as well as a roof to shed the water which may fall.
 Be careful to see that sticks and stones are thrown from the roadbed. Oftentimes a drag will uncover loose stones that may be lying just under heath the road surface. Take time to pick these stones out and throw them to one side. Every moment spent in this character of work, is worth money to your road. No road can be successfully maintained with different characters of material in it's surface makeup. A clay road should be all clay, and holes in these roads should not be filled with gravel sandy loam or other material than clay. The same is true of sandy loam, the gumbo soil and other ma tario1c Tho rocLc in tho road n, a hard spots, consequently, producing holes in your road. Get them out during dragging or before you drag it, and the results will be uniform ly smooth road surface.

The melancholy Eays have come" said Medford to himself as he unlocked ms front door upon his return from es. taDllshing his wife at a summer re- sort, and the fellow who said that the fall days are the saddest of the year proba0ly never had a wife who went away every summer and left him to his own destruction"
 lie stared about him when he enter ed the familiar living room and 1t seemed to him that company of ghosts were drawn up to receive him. Ills wife's cozy, sleepy hollow chair had changed It's pretty tapestry dress for winding sheet. The Morris chair wore bilious looking blouse, and al though his own leather rocker had been permitted to remain unmolested It looked strangely out of place in this ghostly company.

 He wandered about from room to room, assuring himself that he felt like the heroine in the story of the Three Bears" who was so difficult to please in the matter of furniture and porridge. When he came to the din. ing room he stood aghast at the havoc revealed there and he was shocked at the absence of the precious silver cof. fee pot.
 No matter if I am to take my meals out, she might have left that coffee pot just for company" he mourned. 'It Is all very well for her, there in a perfect forest of coffee pots, for she will probably never give thought to her own, but next to her there is noth. ing that I miss so much. If knew

 Then he slowly ascended the stairs and entered the dainty gray and pink bedroom where twin four poster beds stood in solitary splendor.
 If she was so keen about putting things away, why didn't she hide this abandoned twin?" he grumbled as he turned from it. Again, like Golden Locks, he ventured to try another bed, the spare bed, which graced room which had no personal associations for him and therefore seemed less dreary. But the mothballs had taken posses sion of that room and In utter discour agement he returned to the twins, which at least were innocent of offen- sive odors
 Upon again entering his own room his eye fell upon his wife's little ma hogany sewing table, with Its armless chair drawn up beside it, and out of idle curiosity he opened one of the drawers.
 If I were a real hero of romance" he unused. q ought to find a letter tucked away in here, a letter that would reveal my wifes hopeless pas sion for another man."
 But instead of letter there were the gold thimble he had given her, a neat little row of scissors and spools of thread of all sizes and coiors. These seemed to agitate him as much as a guilt-revealing letter would have done, and he looked away from the drawer to the picture of happy face smiling at him from the wall. He returned the smile.
 When later he tumbled into bed his final reflection was: Well l don't care how lonely am, if only she has a good time e"-Chicago Daily News.

washington, D. c. Sept. 25.-The n.n.rtment of Agriculture is send ~ m mt warnings to the farmers in .as cotton belt, cautioning them a. ,,inst the spread of the boil wee yl It is also advising them through ssld agents how to destroy and ,,event the spread of the insect.
 aDestroy the cotton stalk early in IOtOber, if possible" advises the |pepartnent. Destroy your stalks even if your less progressive neigh bor does not. It will pay. Clear off and burn all your rubbish on ditch Hanks and other hibernating places tar the weevil. This should be done esrly in the fall.
 "Do not plant cotton after cotton |but plant your cotton on land that has grown heavy crop of cowpeas, velvet beans, Lespedeza or some oth- Ter leguminous crop to supply the land with nitrogen and vegetable matter. Break the land in the fall or early winter that is to be planted to cotton next year.
 Where sufficient teams and tools are available to blow under and con- petely bury the stalks this should by al means be done Where it is inn possible to blow the stalks under they should be uprotted, raked into wind nvs and allowed to dry for a few dsys they should then be burned"
 To prove the value of destroying the cotton stalks the Department con- dred experiments in Amite County, Mississippi, last year and the follow g results are shown:
 Vn IF acres where no stalks were destroyed but where all other in structlonS of the Government were followed, the average yield was 619 pounds of seed cotton per acre On Sacres where the stalks were des- u0yed before October 10th, and the same cultural methods applied, the average yield per acre was 1050 pounds of seed cotton, or a gain of n pounds of seed cotton per acre, worth at that time S17.64, was se- cured by early fall destruction of Salks' If it pays a few men S17.64 pg acre to cut their cotton stalks NlOfe October 10th, what would it mean to a country if every stalk m" were cut before October 10th ?'
