ARK ANSAS FACES
ANOTHER ELECTION

unique situation in the possibility of
two elections being made necessary

ing governor; John H. Hinemon, for
mer superintendent of public instruc-
ton; Robert l.. Hodges, former attor-
ney general; DIR. c. H. Brough, pro-
lessor of economics at the University

It plain that no mercy will be shown
unless the woman gives evidence
against Fiore.

SOCIAL AND DRINKING EVIL.

DENVER, Feb. 3.-"Don't try to
abolish saloons and the redlight dis
trict. They always have existed. and
always will exist. Handle them in q
practical fashion. Run them right
and confine them to restricted dis

copal cathedral expressed after a
study of social evils that has covered
number of years
Men insist upon drinking and GO
ing to the tenderloin," he said. "You
can't cure them of the desire for those
things until you breed new race Of
men. That would take centuries. And
the things we have got to deal with
is things as they are now. Recog-
nize facts and start your work of re-
form to control as far as possible
what you cannot abolish.
IF / were the chief of police or
sheriff or head of the fire and police
board. would adopt one rigid policy
and then stick to it.

coNvIcTs AS ROAD BUILDERS.

After che years trial of the con-
virt labor plan on its roads, the state
of New Jersey has been converted to
the new system. State Road Commits
sioner A. E. Stevens indorses the pol
icy generally and in communication
to the American automobile associa-
tion national good roads board de-
clares that the experiment OF con-
vict labor on state roads was proven
a success in one week. 1t is only the
beginning of good roads building IN
New Jersey which will be extended as
rapidly as possible.
In describing the work in New Jer-
sey, Colonel Stevens wrote:
II gave orders to the man in charge
that he was to give me 'swagger'
lob there. In other words, he was
to build the best section of road ever
constructed in New Jersey. If after
rain, there was so much as tea
cup of water remaining on any spot,
the road was to be torn up instantly
and relaid by these men. This is my
school, and | believe that in the fu-
ture men trained in prison-short

they are turned out into private life
again, can be taught the highest class

to cooperate in every way to make
this work successful-commutation for

yond that obtainable inside the walls. v
