FAICONER RESIGNS
ROAD COMMISSIONER
A. V. SMITH, SECRETARY OF
COMMISSION, ALSO DECLINES
TO ACCEPT.

Little Rock, May 15.-Judge w. A.
Falconer of Fort Smith, who had been
appointed as a member of the state
highway commission, has advised Gov
ernor Futrell that he will be unable to
serve on account of other engagements.
He is at present engaged in drawing
up a civil service code for the commits
sion of Fort Smith, and had once
thought he would be able to finish this
in time to qualify ON the commission
by June /. He findss however, that he
will be unable to do SO.
The governor has appointed Judge
Greenfield Quarles of Helena as a
member of the commission to succeed
Judge Falconer.
A. V. Smith, private secretary to the
governor, will not serve as secretary
to the highway commission. He has
had under consideration for some time
the question of accepting the position
and has about decided that he will not
do So
II cannot find any legal impeachment
why I should not accept a clerkship
with the highway commission, al
though l am member of the general
assembly" said Mr.. Smith. "The po-
sition might not be held to be "a civil
Office but there is some question about
it. and I want to be sure that | am
right. Anyway, the highway commits
sion needs the services of secretary
at the present time, and | would not
be willing to give up my work as pri-
vate secretary to the governor at this
time. | am anxious that the highway
commission should succeed, and do not
want to hamper it by delaying it in
any way
Mr.. Smith is the author of the act
creating the commission.

KfNSFTT CITIZENS
DENOUNCE KEYNOTE
NEWSPAPER CENSURE D
MASS MEETING CONDEMNS AT
TACK ON CANDIDACY OF
MR.. BRUNDIDGE.

COndemnlng the attack made on the
candidacy of Stephen Brundidge by
the Kensett Keynote, expressing con-
ifidence in his integrity and ability and
pledging their support to him in his
race for governor, citizens of kensett,
White county, in a mass meeting last
week, took occasion to refute the re-
port circulated over the state that the
Democrats of that town were opposed
to Mr.. Brundidge's candidacy.
The following account of the mass
meeting is taken from the Searcy Citi-
zen of Friday:
A mass meeting was held at the
Brock hall in Kensett Tuesday, May
10, 1913, in which a large number of
the citizens of the town and township
participated
DR.. j. w. Moore was unanimously
elected chairman and Prof. Blanken-
ship secretary. DR.. Moore stated that
the object of the meeting was to cor
rect the erroneous impression which
had gone out over the state that Ken
sett and Kensett township were oppos-
ing the Hon Stephen Brundidge's can
didacy for governor of Arkansas.
Speeches were made by Messrs.
Watson, J. A. Bevill, j. l.. Williams,
Prof Blankenship, Drs. Moore and
Harrison in the interest, and advocat-
ing the candidacy of our talented and
honored statesman, S. Brundidge. A
motion was unanimously adopted
whereby each person present should
consider himself committee of one to
constantly urge the claims of Judge
Brundidge and endeavor to roll up the
greatest majority for him ever before
recorded for any candidate in White
county. DR.. Harrison suggested the
following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted. Mr.. Roland was
appointed committee of one to circu-
late the resolutions for further en-
dorsement by the citizen, and the sec
rotary ordered to send a copy to Mr.
Brundidge;
I"Be it Resolved, That
81. We deplore the fact that the
Keynote, a paper published in our
town, should make an unwarranted at
tack on the Hon. S. Brundidge, White
county's candidate for governor. That
said paper does not reflect the senti-
ment of this community or of White
county.
"2. That Mr.. Brundidge has al
WAYS carried Kensett township, as
we'll as the town of Kensett, and will
carry both by large majority in his
present race for governor.
"3. That this mass meeting eX'
presses unfailing confidence in Mr.
Brundidge as a man, and wisdom as
statesman, and heartily recommend
him to the voters of the state as {
man of unblemished private character
and one whose official record as prose
cutting attorney and congressman i:
absolutely without stain.

Improving on Nature.

One of the latest discoveries of the
synthetic chemists is how to make ivo-
ny out of nothing more wonderful than
cows milk-and very good ivory al
that. according to all accounts. The or
iginal idea was to use the new ivory
for piano and organ keys because il
preserves its original color indefinitely
whereas the genuine article turns vel.
low after time.
But it has been found that the new
product is not only an efficient substi-
tute for ivory, but can easily be pre-
pared so as to take the place of amber
horn, coral. celluloid. and such-liks
products, and, it is claimed, can hardly
be distinguished from them.
1t is i'm it's position as a substitute fol
ivory that the new material has eaus-
ed most surprise, however, because II
has the appearance of being another
instance of improving upon nature. The
new ivory takes very high and last
ing polish, and will probably not lack
a commercial field for itself, as natur-
n ivory continues to grow scarcer ano
dearer year by year.-Scientific En-
change.
Now we wonder if that is going te
cause butter, instead of the COW. tc

Dancer of Iiaht Skirts.

Pittsburg traffic policemen and rail-
road officials are agreed in their con-
demnation of the tight skirt. They say
that it endangers the safety OF the
wearer, and is causing great deal OF
delay in crossing streets and boarding
cars.
."rhe most trouble given by the tight
skirts said a traffic policeman, rs the
difficulty women have trying to step
aboard cars. Sometimes the conduc-
tors lean down and pull the women UP

sumed all counts up il you figure the
seconds lost at each corner by the hun
dfeds OF cars"
Other traffic policemen expressed the
same views, although they made haste
to say they were not officially opposed
to tn. tight skirt, but when asked Il
the ears did not lose time they admit
ted such was the fact.
