To The Democratic Voters of the Eleventh Judicial District:-
 Believing the office of Prosecuting Attorney to be one of the most hon orable positions within the gift of a people, and one fraught with the gravest responsibilities, because the welfare of a people, and the security and safety of their homes and their lives are dependent upon q full, com plcte and impartial enforcement of the law by the officer holding such a position; and since our Governor said that he would make only a temporary appointment to fill out the uneXpired term of the man who so ably filled the office, until the people of the district could elect the man of their choice Prosecuting Attorney; and believing myself by experience fitted to attend 10 the duties imposed upon the man who shall be chosen at the election June 21, 1913, l hereby annouce my self as a candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney, subject to the will of the Democratic voters of this district. l bespcak for myself a care lul consideration of my candidacy. l promise, if elected, faithful, conser- yative and impartial enforcement of the law. A good citizen demands no more, and a violater of the law should receive no less. My opponent and myself are good friends and l know that our race will be a friendly one, conducted on the high plane of decen- cy, conforming l am sure to the wish of all the people that our campaign will be a clean one and free from bit terness and anything that bespeaks mud -slinging." I now submit my cause to my friends and the Demo- cratic voters of Jefferson, Lincoln and Desha counties. l solicit your vote and your influence.

Parham had not asked for the endorse ment. He said that MT Collier was trying to make himself the boss in this county and put himself in the county had made good prosecuting attor- ney, but that Parham had never tried case without MT. Nixon's assist ance; that he was never given one case to try voluntarily. Toney said that his legal career he had defended twenty men for murder in the first degree, not one of them had ever been hanged and that he had acquitted many of them and had, while prosecuting another, negro, sent him to the gal lows. He said that the charge had been made that Toney does not repre- sent the moral element of this com- munity. Toney reviewed many favors that he had accorded ministers and others who had sought better moral conditions and especially referred to the courtesy be had shown Dr. J. |. Norirs, pastor Of the First Presbyter- ian church of this city, who was re- sponsible for the defeat of the Sunday baseball act, which Toney said he introduced, but was willing to listen to be convinced that he was wrong He paid pr. Norris a high tribute as a minister and man.
 MT. Parham's Speech.
 Mr. Parham said that he had been credited with being a de1nagogue, but insisted that MT. Toney was poking fun at him. He said that l.. J. Ker- win was Toney's campaign manager and that they were making false claims as to Toney's strength. He pleaded with the voters not to believe reports. He said that MT. Toney has said he Was a poor man but that he lives in a fine house and that on the tax books is a lot of property ill his Wife's name He defended the non enforcement of the viaduct bill, de- claring that several lawyers had in formed MT. Nixon that it was uncon- stitutional. He said he would enforce the laws just as rigidly as MT. Toney The bill, according to Toney, he said, was given morphine, and he was of the same opinion, but that the reason it had not been enforced was because it had been declared unconstitutional by learned lawyers. He said that Mr Toney had the opportunity to change

the law while in the legislature and that if there was any blame connected with it's non-enforcement w. D. Jones or T. Havis Nixon were responsible and not himself He said that he would be just as appreciative of the laboring mems friendship as Mr. To- hey. He charged that negroes had done the painting at the Toney home He asserted that Mr. Toney had never had more than three criminal cases in court
 Mir. Parham said that he was 2J miles away from Pine Bluff when the Taxpayers League endorsed him and that he knew nothing of it. He ap- preciated the endorsement, he sad, and was glad that the Taxpayers as sociation had enough confidence in him to give him their endorsement. He has made no pledges or promises to Tom Collier or anyone else, he said, and would do nothing but what he thought was right. He said that few politicians are trying to make the Free Bridge an issue in the campaign but that it was not to be considered ill this race. He recited how the lawyers of this city had endorsed him for ap- pointment when MT. Nixon resigned his office and how he had been given an unsolicited endorsement for the place by the people of Forrest City, his former home.
 Toney's Reieinder.
 MT. Toney in his rejoinder declared that the charge that ne 1la0 employed negro painters on his house was un- founded and falsehood He said his mother-in-law owned the home he liv- ed in, but that he was willing to stand by whatever his wife or mother-in-law did in it's construction He called off the name of R. W. Lane a white man, who he said, had the con- tract to build the house; Ed Price, a white man, who had the work in charge; R. A. Poole, a white man. who painted it, and Condray Brothers, also white, who had done work on it. He named other labor union men who had been given jobs by him. He also read off 3 long list of criminal cases in which he had been employed in the courts of this city and state. He was interrupted by Mr. Nixon and as a re- ply said: Il don play poker with a man and then when I need S25 have

WHY BOYS LEAVE SCHOOL.

An interesting phase of the ques-
ton why boys leave school is brought
to the attention by the American Ma
chinist. The fact that great pro-
portion of the boys Of the country
leave school as soon as the law al
lows, which is usually at Ia years of
age, has been noted and used as an
argument for industrial education. 1t
is generally assumed, and no doubt
with considerable truth, that econom-
ic pressure has much to do with this
and that parents and boys feel that
the years should be used in more di-
rect preparation for life or in earn
ing money. Yet the earnings the boys
get are small, and most parents are
willing to make any sacrifice necessa-
ry to keep their children in school.
And now comes the interesting
point made by the Machinist. The |
almost universal plea on the part of
children, it says, is that they hate
school and want to work. what
part Of school life do they hate and
what part of shop life do they crave? ?"
1t asks, and it gives the opinion of
correspondent, said to have had abun-
dant opportunity to investigate these
matters, that the largest cause of
this detection is lack of willingness
to think and take responsibility. The
Machinist says:
"That is, it is form of mental la
ziness. AS he views the situation a
boy feels that he can dodge response
bility for correct arithmetic, English
and everything else that he is taught
in school by entering a shop. There,
at his age, he is only allowed to do
work which is almost automatic in it's
nature, which requires almost no
thought and little attention for its
completion. He is only
given work requiring thought and
attention as he shows willingness to
10 it; which means that many never
Use at all and the rest comparatively
slowly"
Here we see in technical publica-
ion what many will regard as strong
for cultural education
But, after all, there is no much great
between cultural and
industrial" education as many as
ume. The trouble with the boy who
nters the shop too soon has often
cen pointed out by the advocates of
,dustrial education. He is liable to
ct into blind alley that leads no
here. No real, all-round trade ed
cation awaits him, and there is need
n some form of industrial education -
lat will supply this lack. Some OPP lib
use industrial education on the en-
'ound that it is narrowing and that his
tends to put youth into industry att
ematurely. But it is the couteption
