HUMAN vuLTUREs

From all over the land comes
mighty protest against the high
price of foodstuffs.
The national government, state
authorities and municipalities
are seeking the cause, but with
out appreciable result.
The government says it is not
the fault of the retailer. and un-
questiouably the government is
is right. But there the govern.
ment rests. r
And when the federal govern
ment, with all the power aud re-
sources at its command, cannot
solve the problem or check the
robbery it is time for the humble
citizen to pause and think. The
time may even come when it will
become necessary for him to act.
And that action should take
the course Of devising some meth
cd whereby the foodstuffs may
travel from the producer to the
consumer without passing thru
too many hands. Under the pres
emit system many hands handle
them and many mouths are fed
from the profits before they trav-
ell the distance from field to con-
sumner, or even to the retailer.
And the consumer pays the
bills.
There is no question but that
the fault lies with the middle
men, wholesalers, cold storage
men and spectators, each one of
whom must extract the largest
possible margin of profit before
be passes it on to the next leech.
And with half a dozen human
vultures fastening their talons
upon every article of diet, it is
not to be wondered at that the
public finds itself plucked to the
bones.
The retailer and the producer
and the consumer should join
hands in a determined effort to
eradicate the vultures, and re-
duce the cost of living to some.
thing within the bounds of rea.
son.
The fact that wave of pros.
perity seems to be ahead of us il
no reason why the consuming
public should calmly submit tc
being gouged 10 the matter Of
its foodstuffs.
Can anyone in this community
suggest a reasonable solution tt
the problem2

HOPKINS
COUNTY
INVADED
By Night Riders-The Little
Town of Dawson Scene
of Much Excitement
Saturday Night
THREE men CIV
EN- WHIPPING

An apparently sporadic out
burst of lawlessness in the south
ern part of Hopkins Co., which
occurred last Thursday and Satur-
day nights, has just come to light
and was heard of here and at the
county seat today for the first
time. 1t is learned that COM
pany of nightriders visited Daw-
son Springs on Saturday night
and whipped three men who are
residents of that place. The
names given are William Handy,
farmer who is said to have been
interested In a loose leaf tobacco
proposition, Henry Jordon, who
is reported TO be an unlicensed
holiness preacher, and Jordon's
son. Reliable reports state that
the marauders took charge of the
electric light plant about mid
night and forced the enginees to
shut down, giving him orders at
the revolver's point not to start
the lights burning until after
four O'Clock In the morning. The
engineer thought it a joke until
a rider stuck a pistol into his
ribs. The town was dark for the
rest of the night. Reports say
there were seventy-five men In
the party. 1t is also reported
that two men named Johnson
were whipped last Thursday
night in the neighborhood of
Handy Station in the same Sec
ton of the county. No reason Is
suggested for these latter whip
pings. Hopkins County mas gem
orally escaped any such manifes-
tation of outlawry and citizens
generally feel outraged and are
denouncing these lawless raiders.

% AND WAS GLAD TO
CONE BACK HOME

John Thoni and Emil Speihs
left New York on July 9Th. with
the intention of spending several
months in Europe, but on the LIST
of August we we're In Zurich,
Switzerland, and the war broke
out, so all the Swiss soldiers had
to 90 on the border between
France, Germany and Switzer-
land, and at times we could see
them march by, while there was
a heavy rain fall lasting severa
hours, but the Swiss soldiers did
not seem to mind it and all APP
peared to be in the best of spirits,
so on August the 9Th, we went to
see the American Consul at Zu-
rich to see if we could get some
passports, for did not have my
American papers, so he fixed us
up with several hundred more
Americans and l felt greatly re-
lieved, so we found out there
were some steamers sailing from
Geneva Italy, and thought we
would try that route, but before
going far we found out passage
on steamers cost from $500 up,
and we knew that we could not
do business with them, so after
waiting in Zurich about Is days
the French and Swiss government
arranged for a special train con-
sisting of 2 engines and eighteen
coaches and 800 passengers which
took us via. Geneva, Lyon and
Paris and from there to Harve,
France, where we boarded the
French steamer Rochambeau and
sailed on same Aug. 80, for New
York, under the American flag,
this was steerage passage and
there were 300 of us Americans
down in the hole and the other
800 that came on the special
train went to Liverpool, England.
While we were at Ronen, France,
letting some Of the soldier trains
pass, we could see the wounded
soldiers in through the windows,
some had their hands and arms
shot off. and think, they were
taking them to Paris, France, fol
medical attention. We also saw
there at Ronep. France, muster,
ing in young boys appearing tc

FALL TERM AND SCHOOL PROBLEMS

The opening of the fall terms
of school brings the problems of
education again to every home.
One hears nowadays much COM
plant of modern school meth
DDS. Much of this censure is no.
doubt just. Yet two many par
ents criticise without having
made any personal observation
Of the schools.
The public does not compre-
bend the strain of school work.
The parent can barely maintain
stable government through vaca-
ton. Yet she feels that the
teacher can easily subjugate the
forty or fifty children that are
unloaded on her in the great
majority of towns. She does not
realize how much diplomacy and
enthusiasm 1t takes to organize
these little anarchists into a
working body. For these quail
ties, ten dollars a week is COM
monty considered fair compensa-
ton, and seven of this sum goes
for board.
The average teacher has to
handle too many children. In a
crowded room, discipline alone
is big proposition. Then in a
five hours session there is only
about minutes per pupil for In
struction. The public school
child gets his education largely
by hearing the others recite.
But the others may not ask the
questions that bother your boy.
Better work is done in some
private schools, but not because
people with more money can buy
brains for their children. A pet
ted child is a little loafer. The
private school teacher has fewer
children to look after, conse-
quently she can lead them as in
idividuals, does not have to drive
them as herd.
Tax payers every where say the
schools have reached the limit OF
expense. More teachers could
not be afforded. Yet somehow
many towns afford buff brick
and stone buildings, where once
wood was pointed at with pride
as an ornament.
The teacher drills her over
grown flock through the machine
as best she can, grinding them
out often on dead level. But
let this de better realized, that
more teachers and more time fol-
Iind1uidual attention would do far
more for the boys and girls than
the handsomest brick, granite OF
marble.

THE PETITION LISTS.

Because of the unfamil'arity with such proceedings, there Is some mis- understanding relative 70 the method of having names taken from the peti- tions for the sale of liquors, after the petitions had been signed.
 The prohibition side announced the proper course some time ago, which in brief. is that the person wishing his or her name removed, should either give notice personally 10 those HAVING THE PETITION IN CHARGE, or else grve power of at. toriey to some other to represent them.
 The Sentinel.Record publishes the list as given over by the committee, with such alterations or amendments as authorized by the committee, and the publication is just as any other publication required by law. We have no authority in the matter Of withdrawal of names, more than. we would have in adding names.
 The controversy is one for tho courts to determine, and proceedings of which will be published in the same unbiased manner as any other court proceedings.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Standing at the dawn of a new year filled with opportunity such as never another has offered The Sen tinel-Recod extends it's heartiest greetings, and wishes for this grand old resort and everybody therein, tue happiest and most successful year of all it's history.
 Wishing happiness and wishing prosperity, however Is only beneficial prosperity, however is only beneficial as an inspiration to work for results. There is an old saw in effect 'if wishes were horses beggars would ride" tiS The way to make for prosperity and to make for happiness is to work together A little poem from Texas, where big things are done in big way, is not inappropriate: They took a little hustle,
 And they took little grit, A little optimism
 And some get up and git; A little thought and patience,
 4 little effort too, A little get-together,
 A little work to do. "They took some perseverance,
 And some persistency; Some firm determination,
 Some real consistency; Tenacity and courage
 They added to the rest; A little public spirit,
 Some nerve to stand the test. "A little unremitting,
 Unswerylng confidence; A little plucky plodding,
 A bit of good horse sense; A little careful planning,
 A little civic pride. They said. We'll build a city
 Where this old town has died "They organized their forces,
 Put everyone to work; They pushed the live ones forward, Ignoring those that shirk; They got lot of members, The kind that work and pay, And they built thriving city
 That is growing day lby day"
  There isn't anything much the mat ter with Hot Springs-nothing except | what could be easily cured if the proper remedy were to be applied be- fore it is too late.

 So, while wishing for each and ev- cry one Happy New Year, with all the blessings that opportunity can of' fer. we offer the further suggestion that lesson be taken from these lines. with the self assurance that from the moral only good could re- suit. It is with you--this, and 1914.
