BOB WILLIAMS
AGAIN ON TRIAL
Judge Orders Trial to Proceed
Under Agreement To Use
Ten Jurors.

Hot Springs, May 30.-Attor-
neys for state and defense hav-
ing agreed 70 go 10 trial with 10
jurors. and the consent Of the
defendant having been made a
part of the record in open court
the trial Of 3. I. Williams, indict
ed sheriff OF Garland county,
charged with non-feaSance in Of
fee, was begun in Circuit Court
late this afternoon. Most of the
day was taken up in arguments
by the state and defense on a
motion to dismiss the lndict-
ment, which was offered when
court convened this morning.
In Williams behalf it was urged
that the Indictment, which was
brought under a certain section
of kirby's Digest, was nullified
by clause in the constitution
of 1874. which compelled the
sheriff, before he could have
filed information that gambling
was gong on, to have supported
that Information with an affida-
Wit.
Judge \. E. Grace Of Pine
Bluff is presiding over the case,
Judge Gotham being disquali-
fed, as the defense desires to
use him as a witness. Judge
Grace had intimated that ne
would sustain the motion to dis
miss the Indictment, but at the
afternoon session of court the
argument presented by Judge
Vaughan Of Little Rock, who is
assisting the prosecution of
Sheriff Williams, was SO strong
and convincing that Judge Grace
ordered the trial to proceed.

There IL nothing unhappily militant
about the Iowa suffragists. The move
ment which doubtless will ere long win
the ballot for Iowa women has been
ably directed, so long as 1t has had
direction at all, and has never been un-
dignified nor required an apologist. Rev.
Mary Stafford. long weil-known here for
her praiseworthy record as a Unitarian
clergywoman, Is president Of the Iowa
association. Miss Flora Dunlap, who
has made the Roadside settlement a
recognized factor for good in Des
Moines, and who was recently elected a
member Of the school board there. is
with the party which will be here Wed
nesday. She has been called the Jane
Adams Of Iowa. The first meeting
was held at Adel, by invitation Of Gov
ernor and Mrs. Clarke and Harvey

Leader was with the party at its earlier
meetings.

Besides. work Of this sort Is good
for the state. Illinois needs roads and
needs them badly. Considerable money
has been appropriated fer their con-

much further than would be the case
otherwise. Moreover, this form OF em-

convict labor and free skilled labor

In brief. the system is to have con-

road is to be constructed and to live
there while employed in road construc-

THE c0BBLER's CRITICISM.

A correspondent who signs himself
"Constant Reader" addresses the fol-
lowing to the editors Of this newspaper:

a thankful spirit. in that the Lord has
blessed Iowa with bountiful crops while
Kansas and other western states We're
burned out and had total failures in
many localities. Some of US are Won

The correspondent while perhaps
constant reader. seems to read careless
lv The article to which be refers ex-
pressed the thankfulness Of Iowa for
excellent crops and the general SYM
pa,hv all men have in common with
sectors here and there where other
men have lost the results Of their labor
The correspondent impression seems
to be that the T.-R. is advising Iowa
to be thankful for the nlisfortunes Of
other more than over her own good
fortune and prosperity. The article to
which ha took exceptions suggested
that Iowa stands ready 10 divide her
prosperity with the suffering people OF
Kansas Perhaps the correspondent
failed to read so far. Possibly the sug-
gestion that those who prosper should
share with the unfortunate does not
appeal to him.

CHURCH UNION.
Sioux City Tribunc.]

The union of professionals into one
great church seems an idle dream.
That there are too many denominations
is doubtless true. That The time VIII
come when there will be fewer, is rea-
sonably certain. The union, some
years ago. of the Presbyterian church
and the Cumberland Presbyterian. and
also the progress that IS being made
in Canada toward the union Of the
Methodist. Presbyterian and Congrega-
tional churches, are hopeful signs.
But that the time will ever come
when ALL or the important majority. OF
non-Catholics will unite in one organi-
cation, seems beyond expectation. The
movement halts because it is not &C
cepted that the world would be better
by reason of the consolidation.
The fundamental basis LOT denomt-
nations is temperament. Organization.
creeds. property rights and many 9th
er things enter into the problem. bus
the ultimate reason for the existence
Of the larger denominations rests in
that indefinite thing we call tempera-
ment
Some denominations lock at things
from an emotional view and other
ers from the intellectual one. one con :
ceives Of a God Of ma jestt and rejoices
in Noses. Another feels the tenderness
of the NaZarene and declares God is
good.
Such differences are far harder tn
reconcile than matters of organization
or creed. from the fact that IL is so
much more subjective ana personal

Such people have the legal right to

1t is possible the various lines OF

might be brought about.
But human nature will have to be
changed If the Protestant world, with
it's emphasis on personal liberty, ever
unites in one church organization. The
present tendency is rather to reject all
dencminational claims and to withhold
support of any, deplorable as this may
seem
