Ideas of An Optinnist
BY EVALEAN BURNHAM

It is up to Arkansas to breed up out of that condition!
 It is up to Arkansas to live down the slam!
 It is time to raise more bacon and fewer bristles il Arkansa1'
 It is time real religion threw off tie chains of creed and denomina tional pettiness! It is time justice dragged herself out from under a mass of legislative special acts and political, sectional and provincial rubbish on it's statute books and asserted herself in Ar, kansas!
 What a Godsend if ONE legislature could be convened and UNMAF[E the volumes of tomfoolshness in the spe- cial acts of Arkansas and adjourn for five years!-and give Progress a chance to breathe the air of common sense for awhile!
 The comedy of courts is the real Comedy of Errors with fools and tools galore shifting the scenery while the public pays the price of the panto- mime!
 Cast-irbn laws-with tin foil backs for their very makers to undo, as oc. casion arises.
 Puritanical statutes-with holes in them big enough for forty moral lepers and four hundred law deiyers to crawl through when the tine comes to test them!
 Cat.hopping courts as full of stitches and stuttering legal lights as old cheese with skippers-and the public pays the bills and Arkansas pays the penalty in a reputation abroad for baconlesss pork-lawles courts and impious pulpits and pews Isl't it about time to poison the pup that is sucking Arkansas eggs.

Senators Smoot and Sutherland at
tackled the administration from different
positions Mr.. Smoot declared emphati-
cally against tho surrender OF any rights
to Great Britain and denounced the
Democrats for abandoning the platform
upon which they were elected. Senator
Sutherland also protested against the re-
peal bill, but advocated the submission
OF the dispute to arbitration.
Tho President" said Senator Smoot,
NOW repudiates his party platform and
asks all OF us to repudiate our platforms
on the subject And the only reason Of

done"
THE Democrats" said Mr.. smoot,

vice plank by riders throwing open to

lations, and all with the Presidents APP

Perhaps, IN view OF this record, the

tors Stone and Simmons. he said, were
attempting to draw devious plans for at

"The difference between repeating this
