A Disgrace to Little Rock.

In the capital city of Arkan- .sas, the editor of a state news paper has been assaulted and ,disfgurcd three times because of the expression of his views upon public issues and a thug in each ease was the offender against the law and in trial of the first two cases, escaped with little or no punishment.
 This recital of facts is a re- flection upon the courts and cit izenship of Little Rock and smacks more of conditions sup posed to prevail in frontier town of the wild west in the ear 1y days, where a fearless citizen or newspaper man had to pro- wide his own protection.
 Now the editor of the Demo- crat threatens to hereafter pro- fect himself, unless his last cow ardly street assailant is punish ed adequately. And he ought to, Past events certainly justify him. He has never offended so- ciety by extremes or personal at tacks that would justify brute bully in publicly chastising him and he must perforce go armed to have that protection the law and society should give him. But it is nevertheless to the shame of any city that a man must resort to the necessities of a past civilization or rather lack of it. WFM

The Start For Next Year.

"We mustn't stop with our ac- compliShments on these two days" said Governor Major. We have done much. If every state in the Union had accom- plished as much, what a wonder full upheaval of bad roads there would have been. Estimating on the same basis as the patriot ic citizens of Missouri have turn ed out, at least 50 million dollars of work would have been put on the roads. What a colossal prop 0sition and of what great value it would have been.
 Next year l am going to ask the governor of Kansas here to issue a proclamation calling on the people of his state to work the roads August 20 and s21. I'm going to call on the govern ,or of Arkansas and all the other governors to join in and make them the national good roads days"
 September 8 and 1 are the days upon which Arkansas is to inau- gurate this movement that Is revolutionizing the roads of ev- cry state, and we ought to con- tribute our part of this $50,000,- 900 spent in labor for better highways. Then other states noting the accomplishments of Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas will be ready to enlist upon two days next year, that will be na- tion-wide in scope and results.
 The Roman empire, famous for it's roads, that are still pre- served in sections of Europe, will have a competitor for fame in this achievement of our own country. And our highways will not have been built by the cap lives and slaves of conquerors but by a citizenship who were enlightened and awake to the ad yantages of good roads and bull them with their own hands anC

and material from point to point. Many who could not labor paid a substitute-often hiring a group of men, and one big contractor and employer turned over his en- tire force of two or three hun dred men, with tools in their hands.
 Now Arkansas can do very nearly as well as Missouri has done-the sudden expansion of the good roads spirit has been nothing less than wonderful. Districts and communities that were thought indifferent to good roads or bad roads have given electrifying evidence of the keen est interest and determination to have good roads. The best of it all is the mutual personal effort put into the actual work of mak- ing roads. This has brought to- gether the people as nothing else has done, showing that they re- cognize their mutual interests and that they are willing to work togethertO conserve them.-Fort Smith Times-Record.

Gov. Hays and Good Roads Days

Every able bodied man in Ar kansas and every disabled man not injured in the pocketbook should respond to Governor Hays call for volunteers in the cause of good roads. And the women of Arkansas can help as did those of Missouri. by fortify- ing the inner man for hard days toll with plenty of good fare.
 The stories that come down from Missouri show that the state was on fire from border to border with an enthusiasm which nothing could stay and it lis estimated that nearly two mil 1 lion dollars worth of work was done on the highways of the 1 state.
 By no means the least of the volunteer work was the loan of all sorts of road making machin- cry. dealers and makers recog- nizing the splendid opportunity for advertising such wares to township and county officials, Then there were the loans of traction engines and motor trucks for the moving of men

RAILROAD MEN
 BIG HEARTED
A Recent Incident on the White River Passenger Proves
 This True.

One evening recently an at- tache of the Guard was a passen- ger on the evening train between Batesville and Newport, when an incident occurred that shows the big heartedness of the average railroad man-the men who risk their own lives daily, and among which class there are none more firm of nerve and tender of heart.
 Among the passengers on this occasion was an old, blind man and his two children, bound for some point beyond Newport. They had been passengers on the train all day, and just after the train pulled out of this city the news butch, who had kindly given the children some fruit to eat, informed an engineer, who is a resident of Batesville, and who was going down to New port to take out his run the fol- lowing morning, of the circum- stances of the blind man and his childrpn This bip-hearted.
 ough looking engineer went over and began talking to the unfor- tunate man. He was informed that the man and his children had no funds, although they had a ticket to their destination, and that all they had to eat during the entire day was the fruit the train butch had given them. The man of the throttle did not of- fer words of sympathy, but reached down into his pockets and produced a coin. Then he took a survey of the passengers, and appointing himself a com mittee of one, he started through the train, telling in plain words of the case of dis tress, and asking that others, too, donate something for their relief. Hardly passenger refus- 1 ed to donate, and no one ques- toned the motive of the man who took up the collection, al- though hardly anyone had be- fore noticed the unfortunate man and the children.
 Without counting the dona tions, the engineer completed the rounds of the passengers, re- turned to where the unfortunate man sat and emptied into his hat l a hatful of nickels, dimes and quarters and one or two half dollars. The joy on the faces of this old man and the children showed their gratitude, but their joy was no greater than that the beaming, smiling man of the throttle and every one who gave to the charity felt doubly re- warded for their act when, after the train reached Newport, they 1 the little children lead ing their father straight into a restaurant, where their hunger was appeased.

evening. They had determined to
return a week or ten days before
but the reports from snow bound

Their course is over the Denver

one place, Corona, 10000 feet above
sea level and in travelling the two
hundred miles they go Through Sc

long. When reaching the end OF
the road, Steamboat Springs, they
still have 4S miles to travel by
stage. It's delightful trip full of
hair BREADTH escapes and in the
midst of the grandest scenery on
earth. At Denver they will rest a
day or two. 1t lis three years since
they first left here for the west.

REV. SMITH RESIGNS
Pastor Of Christian Church in Extra
Tenders Resignation after Three
Years Of Service.

+ The Journal notes with regret
the resignation of Rev. S. M.
Smith from the pastorate of the
Christian Church of Extra. 1t
was rendered last Saturday and
will take effect at the end of the
current month.
Rev. Smith is a type of man,
whose departure is distinct loss
to any community. He believes
that the Church should be an ac-
tive, rather than a passive force
for good i'm its field-and seeks
to make it 80. He endeavors to
make the appeal of the Church a
twentieth century appeal rather
than a fifteenth century appeal.
Whether his methods shall ever
prevail lis uncertain; but the
thing that is certain is that
the time seems to have come when
both the destiny and the usefulness
of the Church depend upon its in-
terpreting things in the Terms OF
the living present rather than oi
the dead past.
He is booster" for the town
and worker for its best interests
AS secretary of the Commercial
Club he has proved himself unusu-
ally efficient
1t is understood that he has not
as yet decided where he will go
A number of openings are being
consid cred.
