GUARD PROTECTS
 THE SUFFERING
CITIZEN soLDIERY DOES ErFrc TIVE WORK IN FLOODED
 CITIES.
0BJECT LESSON IN PICTURE
question of What Might Happen in Arkansas With No National
 Guard Brought Out ForcbIy.

photograph posted in a store win uo" on Main street in Little Rock. re. gently, attracted general attention The picture showed the bread line in one ot the cities recently flooded. Ot course the bread line feature was very realistic, but in the foreground was 10 De seen a disreputable looking fel low guarded by National Guardsman. while on the ground was a suit case being opened and examined by an. other real soldier, fully armed and capable of enforcing any necessary ac tlon resulting from the survey.
 The index to this scene stated:
 Searching the Ghouls; thugs and wretches who took advantage of the distressed situation to loot, plunder, rob and murder where unguarded DOT. tions of a flooded district could be found"
 This picture called to mind the press reports, that the governors of the states flooded had ordered the National Guard into the flood districts  for protection, and very little desc. cration of human bodies had been discovered because any fiend found robbing or mutilating bodies or proper ty was summarily dealt with, not by tin soldiers, but by real men whose homes and families were in danger, men who were trained, armed, equip. ped and directed by experts, and 1t was realized, that horrible scenes could have been expected and fiend. ish ghouls might have held sway in the absence of trained, armed, uniformed body of disciplined men, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska and Indiana had them.
 This picture brought to the minds of the persons who saw it the question of what might have happened if Lit tie Rock, Pine Bluff, Hot springs and Fort smith had all been suffering from catastrophe of this kind and if the acts of the recent legislature seeking 10 abolish the National Guard had proven effective. The question was asked whether without any National Guard, would the protection shown ia this picture ! prominent feature of such an Arkansas scene?

GuhRDSMEN SAVED
 TIE DAY AT CAIRO
BREAK IN LEVEES PREVENTED BY WORK OF STATES
 SNlElERS.

Chas. H. Miller, president of the Miller Engineering Company of Little Rock. in charge of the work of saving the Mississippi river levees at Cairo during the recent floods, points to the work done By the Illinois National Guard during that crisis to show the importance of maintaining the Nation al Guard in Arkansas.
 Mr. Miller says that when the floods were threatening to beat dows the leyees, the entire police force of Cairo vas trying to drive out to the levee work all the local labor that was left in the city but without much success The engineer in charge had men in lots of ten where he needed hundreds and when he reported that much labor must be secured immediately in or der 10 have a fighting chance to save the city, the governor of Illinois was appealed to over the telephone for 200 state troops to do guard duty and 1000 lahorers. He replied that he could not get any laborers but would send the seventh Regiment, TOO strong, un- der working orders part of the Fourth Regiment consisting of 200 men having already been ordered out under working orders.
 These thousand men, according to MT. Miller, among whom were many lawyers, physicians, engineers. and high priced mechanics, went to work doing what they were told to do, whether 1t was shoveling dirt, build ing bulkheads or carrying sacks. Others, working with the police force, got out every idle laborer and they soon had more than were needed. Without these troops, MT. Miller says, no one could have said that there would be no loss Of life or property.
 I've should all pray that Arkansas will never see the time or occasion that demands state troops" MT. Miller says but the exercise of the reason inc mower with which we are endowed leads us to the inyeitable conclusion tnat we are not yet exempt from oc. currences requiring the quick concert cd action to be had only through an o-ganization such as the ArkannQ Na- .onal 1uard.

IMPROVING THE
 MO. PACIFCR R. K.

In line with the policy of the management of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain system of putting substantial part of the earnings into improvements and betterments, President B en ja- min F. Bush has authorized the purchase of seventeen new loco~ motives for that road. The Amer ican Locomotive works was awarded the order for seven large passenger engines, known as the Mountain type, and for five Paci- tic type passenger engines. The Baldwin Locomotive Works se- cured the contract for five heavy, powerful engines of the Mikado make.
 The seven Mountain. type loco motives will be of the largest pattern of passenger engine con structed and will be used on the main line to the South, hauling the heavy passenger trains over the Ozark divisions of the road. They will be 15 feet , 1.2 inches in height, with total length of eighty feet, and will combine the heavy tractive force of .50,35O pounds with a capacity for high speed. The total weight of engine and tender will be 457, ,000 pounds The tender will be 28 feet in length, being built longer and lower than the ordinary locomotive, obyiating, to a great extent, the liability of derail- ment.
 The five Pacific type passenger engines will be built, primarily, for speed, the driving wheels being over six feet in diameter, and will be used in the fast pas senger service recently inaugur. ated by the Missouri Pacific be tween St. Louis and Pueblo. They will be v feet 5 inches in length, and to the top of the stack win measure 15 feet and 1-2 inches They will have 26- inch cylinders and the total weight of the engine and tender will be 412,000 pounds.
 The five Mikados are for freight service on the heavier divisions of the road. These engines will stand 15 feet , 1-2 inches in height, with a total length of 78 feet i 1-2 inches.
 The three styles of engines will be equipped with the latest i'm proyements m locomotive con struction, including electric head | lights, electric cab lights and superheaterS.
