WORTH CONSIDERATION.

The suggestion has been offered that if Hot Springs had macadam road from this city to where the Little Rock highway connects, there by making for complete highway between tine cities that would De equal to a boulevard, the connecting highway would bring more Arkan- sas state patronage during the year, than the state fair brings for one week in the fall.
 That sounds logical. There are hundreds of automobile owners in all the cities of the state. There are hundreds of automobiles owned by the farmers, particularly in east ern Arkansas. Every auto owner dreams of a good road and dreams in vain. One good road 60 miles long in the state would be induce ment sufficient to attract almost every car in the state.
 So when it comes to state patron age, the good highway between Lit tie Rock and Hot Springs might be far more useful to this city, (thouSh not to the development of the re sas State Fair, winch We contribute sources of the statel than tine Arkan to the support of alone every year
 We are not enjoying such unme IS ured prosperity but that we must consider our own interests first-the interests of the state afterward The State Fair is the biggest institution in Arkansas. It is the biggest thing for the development of the state The state ought to have sufficient interest in the institution to help 1t and to carry at least half the bur den. Half the burden on the state would hake it easy for Hot Springs But is that asking too much?
 We have not abandoned the state fair, nor will we. but we should dis cuss the proposition in business like manner, and We should weigh the situation well, and if we find that it is best to carry the Arkansas institution, we will carry it with the usual success-but if in the final aa. alysis, we find that it is burden of state pride unappreciated by the state, we might then turn our atten- tion to other things in which we, when carrying the whole burden, le- ceive the greater part of the direct results. The press of the state is invited to discuss this subject We would like to have an expression on the subject Are the people of Ark ansas willing to help take care Of and maintain their state fair?

BLAME PLACED ON MEN.

Judge Smith Mcpherson of the fed,
eral court sentenced three men to
prison for violation of the Mann
white slave act. The court was ques-
toned as to why the women in the
cases We're not prosecuted and his
reply was:
Il don't like this laying all the
blame on the women These girls are
not so bad If ii were not for the men.
Men have been laying the blame on
the women for the last 5000 years.
There is floating all over the country
to-day the idea that a man, to be
guilty under the statute, must use
the woman or girl TO make money
for him. There has not been a case
decided in any United States court
that | know of that commercialism
only is to be punished and in my
Judgment the law does not warrant
that construction.
IF man takes a woman over
state line for the purpose of debauch-
cry, even for his own use, he has vio-
lated the law OF course, that is not
an aggravated case The absence of
commerCialism is only in mitigation
When there is commercialism clear
ly proven i give five years in the
penitentiary as the sentence for the
guilty party except where the girl is
under age and then il is ten years
Where there is commercialism clear
ly proven a man needn't talk to me

The question which confronts the
archeologist is how could a popula-
ton sufficiently numerous to accomp-
fish the building of such city have
maintained itself in this region? The
ruins are located 1900 feet above
the level of the sea on a vast plateau
where the constant cold prevents the
maturing OF corn or other grain. At
present potatoes, oca, and some 9TH
er edible roots are grown, but the
region sustains only a scanty noun
tain population. The city once COW
cred large area, the great struct-
ures were built by skilled masons.
One stone is thirtysix feet long by
seven feet wide and weighs 10 tons,
another is 70 feet by 10, and 6 feet
thick. Only the monoliths of ancient
Egypt equal those found in Tiahu-
anacu. The movement and placing
OF such monoliths point to a dense
population, to an organized govern
ment, and consequently to a large
agricultural area with means of
transportation from various direct
ions. The only tenable explanation
is that at the time when Tiahuanacu
tiourished the Andes were from 1000
to 5000 feet lower than at present.

PAYING FOR STREET PAVING

All over Iowa, one of the chief
causes of interna! dissentions in cit
les is the question of improvements,
chiefly paving and sewers. is it
tightness or is it some provision in
the law" enquiries the Clinton Her
aid. 1t then proceeds to answer it's
own questions thus:
Many people condemn those who
protest, without considering that
they may have valid grounds for OBJ
lection, and that these grounds may
be removed.
Under the Iowa law, improve
ments are paid for in seven yearly
installments. The only necessity
governing the number of install
ments, is that the improvements shall
be paid for during its period of use.
Experience shows that paving and
sewers last from % to 80 years
Then issue 20 year bonds, instead of
seven year
If the next legislature will amend
the law, and distribute the cost of
corresponding to. the benefits deriv-
ed, opposition to paving and sewers
will disappear.
HC OuIy Icd6Ou why seven years
should have been chosen is that
seven" has been a conjurers mum
Der from the remotest days of anti
guilty.
Ii, the paving tax assets to
property owner is $500, he has to
pay $57 per year Hundreds of men,
VINO want paving, cannot afford to
pay that much each year. 1t comes
out of their food or clothes, or their
slight enjoyments. But the same
men could afford to pay 500 per
year And who, would suffer? The
contractor is paid through the sale
of bonds. The city's share is no
more. The purchaser of the bonds
would probably prefer a longer issue
The property owner would be re-
leved of a burden.
The cities of Iowa are taking
great steps forward in municipal i'm
proVements. But the way is fraught
with dissension and hardsnips. Why
not make il easier?"

PROFIT IN IOWA TIMBER

The Fort Dodge Chronicle relates
the incident of a pioneer settler in
Webster county who was a tree
crank. He planted about forty acres
TO trees, the homely cottonwood be-
ing part OF the planting, but black
Walnuts and other valuable trees be-
ing also in the lot. Like a wise man
that pioneer let the trees have the
use OF his lands and they used it
every year by adding to their stature
and girth. In the course OF time the
settler died and his heirs divided up
the grove by converting it into lum-
Der. 1t was found that even the
cotton woods made nearly six dol.
lars an acre for every year that they
had been growing. And they made
that at time when land in that part
OF the country was renting for from
two to three dollars an acre. The
cotton woods did at least twice as
good as any OF the crops grown ON
adjoining fields and they did il with
out cultivation and while affording
shelter in | summer and winter
for the stock. The walnut trees did
still better, they made literally a
small fortune of each acre
Such has been the history of tree
growing in every part OF Iowa. There
are farms in the state which have
walnut timber on them, planted by
the pioneers which is worth more per
acre than the land on which the
trees have been grown. And the
land has been made none the worse
tor the presence of the trees. The
value and the Importance of tree cul
ture, commercially considered, has
never been fully realized in this
state. If the settlers could all have
1reamed dreams and seen visions, we
would have five and ten and twenty
acre wood lots on all the farms of
he state. ..s

Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear no petty skirt?
Just your corset and your hose
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl when on the street,
You appear to be all feet.
With your dress so very tight,
You are just an awful sight
Nothing on to keep you warm;
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After awhile ! do believe,
You will dress like Mother Evei

Two millions OF you, brother rail
road workers, live solely on the rail
road pay car and pay envelope. All
you get and all your families get is
what you earn by your toll for rail-
roads.
You prosper when the railroads
prosper; you suffer when the rail

times for the railroads are hard times
for you.

railroad hard times grips you II
axe of economy strikes first hardest
and most frequently at the pay roll,
and that is where and how you live
Your enemy is the self-seeking
politician, the demagogue, the fanci-
full theorist. They have put your
tremendous industry ON the rocks
and you with it. Some want--or say
they want - regulation, and after
that more regulation Some want
government ownership-and that and
are the only alternatives
If they keep on with their wrecking,
for the roads means ruin
for you. Government ownership
means 1888 year for you, as in Ger.
many, or $3.50, as in France, or 1896,
as in Russia - and the privilege of

your wives and children live.
