DR.. Mark A. Matthews. mod
orator of the general assembly
of the Northern Presbyterian
Church, in addressing the assem-
bly,, remarked that the only thing
that keeps the churches apart
was the p;sralyzing influence Of
nnbeiief. Probably the Doctor
did not mean unbelief in the
principles Of christianity so much
as unbelief in the virtues of diff
ferent dOctrinalism as the means
OF reaching eternal grace In
this he hits upon an interchangeable
trait of human nature. In their
religious affiliations men are as IL
recOnciiable as they are in their
political belief. A few may be
converted from one faith to
another, but the majority will
hold to that doctrine which they
once accept. DR.. Matthews.
while he may feel that the world
could be made better easier and
quicker if the churches were
united and working with IA sin
gleness of purpose, would no
doubt hesitate long before ne
could bring himself to abandon
his belief that the road blazed by
the Northern Pre- SD yterian
Church is the safest, surest and
most direct route to eternal life
A review of the religious field
today must convince even the
most careful observer that in.
stead of there being possibility
of the churches uniting, they are
more likely to get farther apart

Why They Gan Spell ,t.

Before I went to Europe" said tho school teacher, 'it was one of the mysteries of my profession how every British child enrolled i'll our schools came to be authority on the spelling of chilblains. Teachers might hesi- tate over one "l' or two, the children never. They might make photographic mess of the simplest one syllable word, but the tiniest tot from the British isles went to the head of the class on chilblains every time. Ono wintry month in those same islands told mo why. It is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores, in clothing stores, in shops of all kinds cures and preventives of chilblains are uni versally advertised. Owing to the exigencies of the climate there is a regular chilblains literature present. ed for those children's absorption, so no wonder they know how to spell their universal afdiction."

 POLICE OFFICERS Young Mems League Wants Better Pay For the
 Patrolmen.
COMMITTEE IS NAMED
Will Also Fix Good Roads Day For Pine Bluff and Jefferson
 County in September.

At meeting of the Board ol Governors of the Young Mems Pro gressive Business League. held il the assembly room of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon, the question of the salaries paid the patrolmen and other officers of this city was brought up and discussed at great length, it being the opinion or a majority of the Board that the police department of this city was among the most efficient in the state and the members were not being paid sufficient salary for their services.
 After much discussion motion was made by H. B. Feinberg that & committee be appointed to meet with the city council and see what nigh, be accomplished in the way of secur- ing at least cash valuation of the city warrants. if not an increase in salaries for the men. This motion was carried and committee appoint CT and instructed to confer with the ''city dads and see what assistance the League might render in the prem ises.
 A committee was also appointed to confer with the committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce. for the purpose of assisting the Pine Bluff and Sulphur Springs lntcrurban Rail- way Company in securing stock SUD scriptions. The members of both committees will hold a joint session at an early date and will then col- fer with the gentlemen who are in terested in the 1nterurban and a defi- nite working plan will be evolved and both organizations will push the enterprise in every way possible.
 The question of setting a day to be known as Good Roads Day. by the League was discussed and it was decided that an early date in Sep tember would, be designated as Good Roads Day" and that the members would get into the good roads ; movement. The date and place will be announced soon.

EQUALIZATION BOARDS
 HAVE FOUR WEEKS
NEW LAW GIVES EQCALIZEkS LONGER TIME IN WHICH TO
 REMAIN IN SESSION.
State Tax Commission Urges a Com. plete Assessment at 50 Per
 Cent in Letter.

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-There will be a radical differ ence in the work of the Boards of Equalization this year over that of preceding years. The old law equalize the property of q county. Under the new law the Boards will meet Monday, Sept. l, and if they find it necessary may remain in ses- sion until the. fourth Wednesday in October, period of nearly two months.
 The Arkansas Tax Commission has directed an important letter to the Boards of Equalization. calling atten- erty at full 50 per cent of it's value.
 "The Board of Equalization is the most important official body in the county" declares the commission. "The law imposes upon the assessor the duty of assessing both real and personal property. As a rule. hOWev- CT, the assessor has fallen into the practice of dumping on the Board of Equalization the work of assessing real property He simply copies the assessment of each tract as made the previous year no matter if the same is less than 20 per cent of the value Of the property. With respect to the as sessment of personal property the sit nation is but little better. Ordinarily the assessor assumes that he is com | pelled to accept the list of the tax payer and that personal return can be raised by the Board of Equaliza- tion only"
 The commission urges complete assessment at 50 per cent, and adds: ;.1f 9all the iproperty Of the: state is as- sessed on basis of 50 per cent of its full value, the total assessment of the
 state will go beyond $6OO,O0O, more than s17o,ooo.ooO above what it was was sin 1912. -s s; <. ss .s RI N s
