The Republican has received scores Df letters of thanks from women throughout the state for the space iU
 nas offered every Sunday for a series
 of articles by prominent club women.
 Despite of their multiplied duties
 during the holiday season, the mem
 bers of he clubs who have been asked
 to contribute these special stories
 have responded generously. Mrs. B. 4. Fowler of the WOman's club,
 whose brilliant address on Fedora
 ton" before the Tempe Woman's club
 was published last week, inaugurated
 the department that will be continued indefinitely. The much discussed problem play is the subject of tOday9 article. written exclusively for The Republican by Mrs. Francis II. Rede- will. As chairman of he program committee and curator of the study section of the College club, Mrs Redewill has given considerable thought to the modern drama. the topic of the clubs endeavor She is also identified with the Woman's club and is one of the most active and clever members of the Musicians club.
 MODERN DRAMA"
 (By Mrs Francis II. RedewiiD At the last springs closing ses- sion of the Woman's club it was unanimously decided to study the modern drama during this present | season. This wish came unprompted and unsolicited from the club and seemed to be a univ ersal one on the part of the membership. I have since wondered just why this inclination was so general among us. Why the
 modern problem play-for such the | modern drama is-should be of such ! intense concern to all. I think the principal reason for so much interest | is because of the character and sub | ject matter used in these sociological | plays. They show life among com | mon people--Or middle class, if you wish-with common every day expert | ences, as we ourselves might have. the oio romantic background of | Shakespeare is no more The char ! actors are not necessarily the great | people of the land. hut just folks l such as We meet and converse with
 daily. The plot may be quite d sim 1 Ele one With 10 very great climax l of tragic death or sacrifice, but the | whole structure of the modern drama l mas to do with modern sociological ] problems in politics, eugenics, ethics 1
 whelmingly significant Reforms along
 all of these lines are interesting to | every progressive citizen, although
 the method of rectification is not very | clearly defined as yet to any of us | Sometimes we are even unaware of l the importance of some facts until | they are impressed upon us by some
 outside factor
 The theater does not hesitate to 1 tlckle all modern problems unflinch- ! ingly, while the colleges, churches and other opponents of public in- ! s'ruction are more reluctant about their investigations. The stage easily l becomes the mirror of social and | moral dangers. Through the medium of the drama the exposition can be ! done artistically, ana also can reach more people than any other one thing ! The theater is the greatest educator because it is a public place for all people.

Our firm has reports from the sections I have not visited, and it seems as encouraging as what I have seen. The cotton has had such favorable weather that the stand is good and the plant healthy. We will have to have some very unfavorable condl- tions or the state will have the banner cotton crop of it's history.

CANNOT REFfR
 LIQUOR LAW
To People According to Opinion Rendered by Attorney
 General.

Little Rock, June l.-Only a few hours after Attorney Gene al William L. Moose handed down m official opinion expressing q belief that Act 59 by the last legislature, regulating the issu- ance of liquor license in Arkau- sas, is not subject 10 the referen- dunn, mandamus proceeding were filed by Morris M. Conn. attorney for the Arkansas Li- quor Dealers Association, and the suit was set for hearing be- fore Judge Guy Fulk June 13. Tie liquor interests contend the emergency clause attached tU Act 59 does not prevent a refer- endum on the bill and ask that the secretary of state be com pelled to file the petitions now held in his office.
 In filing the mandamus suit against the secretary of state, the liquor dealers assert they are opening a fight which will be car ried to the Supreme Court of the United States, if necessary, for a favorable ruling.
 If the case goes to the United States Supreme Court, the opera tion of the act will be suspended until a decision is rendered by that tribunal. Two years at least is required for the Supreme Court to reach cases so that sa- looms could not be driven out of Arkansas inside that length of time. In the meantime, new legislature will have been elect ed.
 The liquor men will not take the case to the highest federal tribunal, however, if the Su- preme Court of Arkansas revers. es the opinion of the attorney general and finds that Act 59 is subject to the referendum.

"What you people need is a man at your house. Shame on you people of Jackson county who blame the county officers and want the government to build your roads. Your roads are just as good as you want them. If you wanted better, you'd get them. Don't wait for the government to build your roads. The government helps only those who help themselves and your grand children will all be dead before you get govern ment roads"
 Tt ought not to be safe to talk about good roads and not build them" Just at this iunc- ture in his address, the ice cool CT fell off the stand in the court room and the speaker took ad- vantage of the Situation to re- mark: Somebody tried to get on the water wagon and fell off, <" which created a burst of laugh ter.
 MT. King paid tribute to the newspapers for boosting good roads. He declared that he was not in this movement to make money, that he had reluctantly accepted a call to lecture and that his interest in the question was due solely to the patriotic motives and a desire to benefit the people.
 "A road drag makes smoother roads, makes the ditches at the side, does away with bumps at the culverts and seventy-fve per cent of the dust" explaining in his address how these four re- suits were accomplished. He told of how, after a two weeks rain, the half mile of road in front of his farm was a fine race course within "A hours after the rain had ceased. The theory that the surface soil, by continual dragging after rains could be made waterproof was accom- plished upon the same principle that the slime of a hog wallow was made waterproof. He told of mud hole which he dragged between his farm and the town, of how the mud was thrown back to the center, al- lowing people to pass upon the sides, and the water to run out upon a ground that would take it up. The mud in the center soon hardened and the drag had kept it a good piece of roadway. "The time to drag a road is not immediately after rain, for the surface water must be MOIST, BUT NOT STICKY. The formu- la for road dragging is to go down the right side of your road way with a drag to your neigh bor's house, returning on the left, and after the fourth or fifth dragging, you will find the mid dle of the road higher than any part touched by your drag. 1t is a crime to get rid of the crust of dirt our roads have acquired by piling up loose dirt in the cen ter. This kind of dirt will do for raising cabbage, but not to build roads. You are not going to have flower beds in the center of your roadway and you don't want this garden dirt there
 Upon the conclusion of his address 28 farmers promised to construct and operate road drags and then he called for questions upon the part of his hearers. MT. King opposed wide tired wagons as a means of building
 roads. It was too hard on the
