Ballots For Everybody

|
Mooser's filed motion and aft
davits, asking that the Circuit
Court direct the County Court
Clerk to furnish a greater mum
Der of ballots for the Primary
Election at certain Precincts,
which is named in the motion
and affidavits. Owing to the
Roosevelt vote at the last Nov
mber election it was contended
by some persons that the Repub-
lican ballots should be reduced
in mum Der TO the Taft vote only,
plus fifty per cent. The Clerk
took this view also.
The hearing was before Judge
Sampson, and after reading aud
considering the atidavits and
motion, he ordered aud directed
the Clerk to issue sufficient
mum Der IF ballots in each pre-
clnct TO give each voter an op.
portunity to vote with the party
of his choice. The Court held
that each party having candi-
dates upon the August Primary
ballot should have sufficient bal
lots to give each voter an oppor-
tunity to express his choice.
The complaint was made chiefly
in behalf of the Republican can
didates because they were the
ones who would have suffered
most. Judge Sampson announ-
ces the opinion that all, or near
ly all of the Republicans who
voted for Colonel Roosevelt last
fall in Knox County, did so I'M
der the belief that Colonel
Roosevelt was the rightful Re
publican nominee aud not be-
cause of any new party all liza
ton; that such persons did not
then and do not now intend to-
become mem bers of the Pro
gresslve party, or any other par
ty other than the Republican
party, and that they are as much
entitled to Republican ballot
in the August Primary as any
one else, if they desire to vote
with that party, and that no
doubt very large per cent of
them will exercise this tight by
calling for Republican ballot.
The Court further declared
that no one could be wronged or
injured by the people having
full and free opportunity to eX
press their will at the Polls by
means OF their ballot voting
with the party of their choice
but that if at any precinct there
were not enough ballots To sup
ply the voters desiring to vote
with any party great confusion
aud strife would arise aud such
persons as were denied the right
would suffer irrepara BILE injury.
In the course of the hearing
Judge Sampson announced that
every effort should be. made to
have an absolutely fair Primary
so that candidates receiving the
highest number of votes should
be declared the nominee of their
party. And further, that no
money or whlskey should be
used To influence voters. Upon
this subject the Judge declared
that no candidate, OF the friends
of any candidate need to expect
anything but a thorough investi-

or whiskey had been used, II

er viewpoint
Summed up, the creed of the citizen fac
tory is this: We must beat our birch rods
into fishing poles and turn our reform
schools into Republics in miniature.
Back of this whirlwind of enthusiasm
there must be an exceptional woman.
Think of it, eight "hundredth boys in the
home nest, besides three of her own, to say
nothing of an eighty horsepower, two-handed
iconoclast! There is just such woman She

That would mean a contest and a sound

than there is caterpillar problem. A boy
holds the same relationship to man that a
caterpillar does to a butterfly. We have
been fitting artificial wings to the cater
pillar, and then condemnlng him because
he does not flv like a butterfly.
The fundamentals of the citizen factory
sound almost revolutionary. Here are some
of them
There is no such thing as an intrinsically
bad boy. We are making bad boys and po-
tential criminals by the false attitude of so
ciety and the law toward youth.
"Original sin doesn't exist. Give boy a
chance and the original good will come to
the surface.
Teach morals. Morals, not intellect,
form the basis of citizenship. Our schools
strive for intellect as the all important;
then, perhaps, health and modicum of
morals. Reverse this order. Throw boy
entirely on his own resources, demanding
only that he play the game square, and IN
ninetv-nine cases out of a hundred he will
make good.
That is what Judge Brown is doing with
his boys at Boys City. A wonderful place,
BOYS City, story in itself, where the boys
operate their own city government, their
newspaper, their store, their bank, handle
their own monev,-a city in miniature.
Recently the townsite of Walhalla, Michigan,
has been acquired, and Boys City will soon
go on the maps and postal guides.
nOES it work, this revolutionary, icono-
= elastic citizen factory? Aside from the
hundreds of boys who have passed out of
the factory to good citizenship, Judge Brown
can point to eight clenching arguments.
They are eight boys, some of them hope
less cases. the hundredth boys after the
winnowing of the ninety-nine per cent. of
successes. Now these eight boys are the
finished product of the system, worthy to
be admitted as members of Judge Browns

RAILROAD WORK
 RESUMED HERE

After delay of several days pend ing the approval of change in the plans to meet objections raised by West Side property owners, the work of laying the tracks for the new rail road yards was resumed here this morning, big force of men being at work. The new switches will be laid by the end of the week, it is thought, and the bridge and building gang will then be brought here to remove the old depot across the tracks to make room for the new passenger station Work on the foundations of the latter will probably be started next week.

Fort Smith, July Probably never before in the history of the state was such light vote boiled in western Arkansas in a gubernatorial contest as in yesterdays election. Scattering returns indicate that it was a landslide for the Democratic nominee, Judge Geo. w. Hays of Cam den. Judge Hays carried every bor- der county, namely: Crawford, Washington, Carroll, Benton, Sebas- tian, Polk, Little River, Sevier, Miller, Boone, Pope, Logan, Scott and Madi- son, on the face of early returns.

The work of refining the water works reservoir three miles northwest of Conway was begun by Contractor Joseph McCoppin yesterday. It is thought that a week or 10 days will be required for the completion of the work. During this time it is neces- sary to keep one of the pumps at the water source in continuous operation in order to keep pressure on the mains in the city.

 Little Rock, July 24.-Returns re- ceived at the headquarters of the va rious political organizations indicate that Judge Geo. w. Hays plurality will be in the neighborhood of 25,000, and that Harry H. Myers, Republi- can, will run second. The headquar- ters of the Democratic State Central Committee gave out a statement last night, claiming 30,000 plurality for Judge Hays. White county, the home of Brundidge, who opposed Judge Hays in, the Democratic primary, polled the heaviest vote yet heard from for Col. Murphy, the Bull Moose candidate This county with Pulaski and Garland, gave Murphy lead of 1000 over Myers These fig ures were overcome later in the night when Carroll, Searcy, Newton and other counties in Northwest Arkan- sas were heard from. This section of the state gave the Republican can didate heavy vote, placing him in the lead of the Bull Moose nominee.
 Scattering returns received from correspondents from most of the counties in Arkansas up to an early hour this morning indicate the cleo tion of Geo. w. Hays of Camden, Democratic nominee for governor, by large majority. A vote of less than 60 per cent of the normal was boiled however, due to the brevity of the campaign and discord in the ranks of the Democrats. Friends of Stephen Brundidge, who was defeated by Judge Hays in the primary of June 2l, in large numbers did not vote. In some cases Brundidges name was written in on the ballot, but this was not done to a large enough extent to materially affect the result.
 The surprise of the contest, howev- CT, seems to be the strength shown by Harry Myers, the Republican nomi- nee. He will probably run second. Col. George w. Murphy, Progressive, formerly Democratic attorney-general of the state, was expected to poll much larger vote. Many disgruntled Democrats were said to be lining up for him and at one time during the early part of the campaign it was said he had chance of election
 That a dehection of the Democratic vote occurred it is certain, but it seems Myers profted from it as much or even more than did Murphy.
 Webber the Socialist candidate, re- ceived an increased vote from pre- vious totals received by that party.
