There are two significant facts
in connection with the recent tri
al of Miss Blossom Browning,
who shocked the officials of
Richmond, Va, by appearing on
the streets in a slit skirt. The
first is: that Miss Browning OBJ
tanned the skirt from a depart
ment store operated under H.
cense from the city. In other
words, the city permits the store

BALLEW'S CHAPEL.

We have had, and are still having,
the greatest revival of religion TINS
country has witnessed in a number OF
wears. There have been added to the
Free Will Baptist church here thirty
or more members. Nineteen have
been baptized to date, and more to fol-
low.
R. C. Dunahew and family and Miss
Willie Faircloth paid visit to the lat

had been taking treatment under Or.

to sell slit skirts, but forbids
their use by the purchaser. The
other significant fact is; That at
the trial resulting from Miss
Browning's arrest for indecent
exposure, Judge Brownfield' 5
court was packed with the most
select audience it ever held. =
Pine Bluff Commercial.
When Miss Browning testified
that she bought the skirt, which
was split to the knee, from a
Richmond merchant and thought
she should have a right to wear
it, Justice Crutchfield retorted
"Merchants are allowed to sell
firearms in Richmond, but that
does not give the purchasers of
these firearms the right to dc
murder" But really, the most
significant fact about the Bios
som Browning case is that none
of the news dispatches have told
who Blossom Browning is ano
somehow or other her name
coupled with her conduct, does
not sound like the name of CIR
who lives at home with her moth
er-Arkansas Gazette.

The government experts have
found that a meadow lark's fav-
orite diet is boil weevils and
grasshoppers. This ought to in
nre this helpful bird a home Sc
cure in every southern state and
Kansas too, where the hoppers
are reported to have recently
stalled a train. The meadow
larks must have been off on a
lark when the invasion occurred.

The people, or some of them,
are signing petitions to initiate
great long and expensive acts
which they propose to submit to
the voters at the next election.
We hope these people won't OBJ
ject to paying the bill when it
comes due as some of them did
last winter.-Stephens News.
1t is easy to get people to
dance but collecting money to
pay the fiddler is quite another
matter.-Fort Smith Times-Re-
cord.
But when it comes to the ex-
penditure of public moneys, it is
remarkable of how little con-
Germ a bit of economy is to the
people. These long initiated
acts cost the state much money
and when you are asked to sign
a petition to refer some bill or
to initiate another, you ought to
know that the proposition is
meritorious. They ought not
only to be meritorious, but the
time ought to be ripe for them
so that many propositions may
not be submitted upon which
the sentiment of the people is
too well known and the fate OF
the measures thus settled in ad
vance. The education of the PEG
pie upon such issues should be
through less expensive chan
nels.

ST. PAUL s INVADED
BY SUFFRAGETTES
Chant Prayer to Mrs. Pank-
hurst, Interrupting the
Service

London. August "A party of 40
we'll dressed suffragettes interrupted
the morning service at st. Paurs ca
thedra1 today by chanting a prayer in
behalf of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst.
Ushers elected the women from the
edifiice after a scuffle.
The disturbance took place during
the singing of the ltany. The women,
who had front seats in the center aisle,
chanted loudly
Save Emmeline Pankhurst!
Spare her, spare herl
GIVE her light and set her free
Save her, save herl
Hear us while we pray to- Thee..
Evidently the chant had been care
fully rehearsed. 1t was in the same
tune which the choir had been singing.
When the women began their chant
ushers rushed toward them from all
parts of the cathedral while numerous
members of the congregation remon-
strated with the disturbers, telling
them to remember that they were In
church. The suffragettes, however, re-
peated their chant three or four times,
each time in a louder key.
A majority of them finally were led
out by the ushers but half dozen or
SO clung to their chairs and fought
against ejectment.
A squad of police attended at Vespers
this evening but there vas no disturb
ance.
