EDITORIAL COMMENT
The War Lobby,

Boston Advertiser: Meanwhile the
whole country stands behind Presi-
dent Wilson, in refusing to be STAN
peded by the constant shrieks and
bowls Of the val lobby, flaring into
print every afternoon in blood red
letters, each headline ~contradicting its
predecessor Of an hour previously,
Whatever the war lobby is paying for
this silly attempt to repeat its tao
tics $50 successful in the Spanish wary
is wasting it's good money. The factors
which brought about the war with
Spain, against the calm wisdom and
the sound judgment Of William Nc
Kinley, John D. Long and other Am
erican statesmen at Washington, fif-
teen years ago, are powerless and dis
credited now. The war lobby has
found President Wilson immovable to
it's strongest weapons. 1t will find the
great body of American people
similarly unresponsiVe.

A View of the Mann Act.

Harper's Weekly: 1t has been held
in the notorious San Francisco case
that a man is brought within the
Mann act, the so-called white slave
act, If he merely pays the fare Of a
woman from one place to another, if
they are making the trip for purposes
deemed morally Objectionable. 1t may
or may not be wise for the govern
ment to undertake to regulate all the
sex matters in the universe, but it is
certainly idotic to make no distinction
betWeen the rea white slave traffic,
which is the organized interstate trade
IN vice, and those voluntary arrange
ments between the two individuals
concerned. The fight against organic
ed vice as a business has begun in
earnest, and has an increasing weight
OF public feeling behind it. The
danger of a statute like the Mann act
is that In mixing up a cruel business
with the ordinary concerns of private
individuals, it Ia bring above a re-
action. The Mann act not only does
not confine itself to organize traffic, it
does not contine itself to prostitution
organized or isolated. It undertakes
to bring within the federal statute, on
a technicality, purely individual and
non-mercenary matters and thus
make the federal government interfere
with the most intimate private morals.
Whatever your opinion about human
rights may be, you will admit that the
law in this instance is undertaking a
considerable amount of regulation.

THE ROAD WORKERS

If anyone thinks that the gooo roads enthusiasm went waning when Brinkley turned out en- n,asse and did such good work on the Brinkley and Wheatley road some weeks ago, a glance afou''o town Wednesday morning wouiu have convinced them that the spirit was as rampant as ever.
 Practically every business house was closed and merchah'S clerks, lawyers, doctors. ana men from every walk of life started out early for the proposed work near Cache river. Every means of transportation from automo- b;le to the lone hoss shay car ried the willing workers to the scene of work, and we venture to say if the citizens in every town in the state did as much and as good work as Brlnkiey citizens did. Arkansas will De the blue ribbon winner for good roads.
 Reports from every section of the state show that the people responded promptly to Governor Hays proclamation, setting aside Sept. 3rd and 4th as Good Roads Days, and instead of being days of action, were days of a great and lasting work accomplished by people who are beginning to realize what good roads mean to the town, county, and state.

RICE GROWING

Rice is now a leading product in all 10 counties of Eastern Arkansas.
 Part of the territory In which rice is grown 20 years ago was a wilderness and the rest of 1t was a prairie which was thought to be useless, except for a small Amount of wild hay.
 German farmers came down to Stuttgart and went into the dairy Inc business. The grass was nared for and affored splendid austenance for great herds of eattle. The dairying grew to rnch q volume on Grand Prairie h at milk was furnished to Mem- phis and Little Rock.

Caves in Arkansas
(Concluded from First Page)

\O-- | In the larger chambers near the roof the water has cut away shelves, and on these are depsits of tallow clay, which has been cut into fantastic shapes and resemble old castles and battle ments. The ore in this opening lays below the floor of the cave. Desultory mining has opened up some 85 feet of ore-bearing strata which was very rich, but the cave has never been fully ex- plored nor prospected.
 Many of the smaller caves have their silent histories. There is the old saltpeter cave in Ma rion county, where the Confeder- ates mined and refined saltpeter to make powder with during the Civil War. Many of the old ket- ties which were used in the refin- ing process are scattered over this section today among the far mers, who use them to scald hogs in and for the family wash ing, etc. The cylinder head of the old donkey engine with which they used to draw their dirt from the cage is buried, open end up, in the front yard of lWm. Aylor of Amos, on Trimble Flat, serving the peaceful pur- pose of a pot for a white lily. Near the little town of Oakland, 20 miles north of here, short time ago, a number of pieces of Indian art work in the shape of carved sandstone were taken l from the cove. Ed Farris, man. lager of the Arkansas-Missouri Telephone Company of this place while exploring a cave on Buffa- To river with his father-in-law. Robert Hurst. came upon a skel- eton caught fast between two rocks, the only record of a silent tragedy enacted years before.
 In many instances where caves are handy to civilization they are used as refrigerators in the sum- mer time by their lucky owners and as storage rooms in winter for vegetables and fruits. H. B. Brown, a merchant, who lives at Cricket, had such a cave near his store. In the summer months he was able to purchase eggs and keep them fresh for quite 8 period, and in the winter he used it as vegetable store room. North of Mountain Home is a cave on the farm of Will Taylor : where he and his neighbors keeI } their vegetables and fruits in the winter time. Nothing freezes The temperature is practically the same winter and summer.
 The caves in the Ozarks pre- sent an interesting study to the geological student and to the man who likes to find thrills the unknown recesses of the bowels of the earth.
