GUARDSMEN SAVED
 THE DAY AT CAIRO
BREAK IN LEVEES PREVENTED BY WORK OF STATES
 SOLDIERS.

: 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.
 MT. Miller says that when the floods were threatening to beat down the levees, the entire police force of Cairo was 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 to 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 labcrers. He replied that he could not get any laborers but would send the Seventh Regiment, 700 strong, un- der working orders part oi 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 it 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, DO one could have said that there would be no loss of life or property.
 "We 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 ing power with which we are endowed leads us to the inveitable conclusion that we are not yet exempt from oc- currences requiring the quick concert. ed action to be hai only through an organization such as the Arkansas Ma t.onal Guard.

G0ARD PROTECTS
 THE SUFFERING
CITIZEN SOLDlERY DOES EFFEc TIVE WORK IN FLOODED
 CITIES.
OBJECT LESSON IN PICTURE
Question of What Might Happen in Arkansas With No National
 Guard Brought Out Forcibly.

A photograph posted in a store win. dow on Main street in Little Rock, re. gently, attracted general attention. The picture showed the bread line ill one of the cities recently flooded. Of course the bread line feature was very realistic, but in the foreground was to be seen a disreputable looking fel. low guarded by National Guardsman, While on the ground was a suit case being opened and examined by an. ether real soldier fully armed and capable of enforcing any necessary ac- ton 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 it was realized, that horrible scenes could have been expected and fiend fish ghouls might have held sway in the absence of a 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 g. catastrophe of this kind and if the sets Of the recent legislature seeking to abolish the National Guard had proven effective. The question was asked whether, without any National Guard, would the protection shown in this picture be prominent feature of such an Arkansas scene?
