from school, found society distinctly
a bore She had that discomfort which
leads some girls to enter upon mission

others to do dangerous things.

Southern Railway Company, and the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way Company, and we have in our office a master to audit the claims for overcharges, but we have not been able to return any of this money to the people. However, we hope to do so, some time during the beginning of the year 1914.
 The suits against the Rock Island, Kansas City Southern, Frisco and many other roads are still pending, and it will take more than two years to get all of these matters adjusted, the docket clear and the people in possession of their overcharges, and I think it a poor policy to swap horses amid stream.
 You have won these suits under my administration, owing to the able counsel of Judge Jos. M Hill, of Fort Smith, who so ably presented our cases to the Supreme Court and won those that have been tried, and 1 ask that you continue me in office until am able to finish all these cases. that we may leave behind the feeling that we have already saved the pdOpla of Arkansas and a large-b sum per annum for for the futlre.f by the restora- tion of Commission Tariff No. 3.

From Moro

It has been quite some time since I wrote anything from our little "city" and it is just as hard to write anything now as it ever was, for our people are so interested in the coming election that they have forgotten everything else (except lawsuits which are plentiful here.)
 At a recent meeting at the county seat (Marianna) to de- termine if Moro should be an incorporated town there being a protest filed against it by a number of Moro citizen, the matter was deferred until after the election, of course it will be incorporated then but politics you know" well the writer is highly in favor of incorporation and as there are two factions in all towns, Moro is not exempted from what everyone terms malice, for if ever there was a town where people fight one another it is Moro. But some day we all hope to see a town here resurrected from the ruins of ''graft. greed and prejudice" and then a new Moro with every one the interest of every one at heart. Moro is a new town and the people that are making the town have an uphill climb all the way but still there is coming a time when things will change and all will follow the teachings of him who said "do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
 Now that spring is in the air and people naturally feel better. Let us hope that with the coming of spring election that they will forget who are their enemies and turn to thoughts of each others interest.

To the Democratic voters Of the l Northeastern Railroad Com ] mission District of Arkan-
 sas:
 In announcing my candidacy for reelection as a member of the Arkansas Railroad Com mission, it is in order to give an account of my~sFEWardship to the voters .aaa citizens I have had the hon9r So serve to the best of my ability.
 The great value of the Com mission is recognized by every shipper. consignee, traveller and the people generally. The Rail- road Commission court occupies a peculiar position. It is not only a court of law but also a court of equity, of arbitration and of diplomacy.
 The docket shows every thing of importance that has been accomplished, but it does not tell all that has been done. The railroads, at the suggestion or request of the Commission, have made hundreds of minor inn provements, which having never come to a public hearing, have never appeared on the docket such as erecting track scales. in stalling signal bells, telephone connections, establishing flag stations, obtaining cars for shippers, improving train service and shipping facilities, proyid- ing conveniences at depot wait ing rooms, refunding of over- charges, and numerous other matters for the conveniences and comfort of travellers, shippers and others. These requests. when just as reason able, have been granted by superintendents, when in their jurisdiction, with promptness and courtesy, through cores pondence, through the commis- sioners, or through personal appeal.
 (The Docket of the Commis- sion shows that there has been some 75 orders made for new de pots'improved train service, etc, which has been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the people. The Brinkley Union Station two depots Clarendon, installation of Station agent at Palmer and several other impor- tant orders in this territory.)
 WHY I ASK ANOTHER TERM
 h few public offices do ex- perience and a knowledge which can only come from experience, count for so much as in the work of the Railroad Commis- sion.
 For this reason, if no other, I am sure l am better able tc serve you than when you first did me the honor of electing me
 But there are other reasons
 chief of them being the refund cases now being litigated, which 1 began prior to my administra- ton. feel 1 should be allowed to fiaish and am better qualified to finish than one unacquainted with their ramifications.
