PROGRESSIVE STATE CONFER
ENCE
Half the Counties OF the State Rep
resented at Kansas City Last
Week

Pursuant to the call of State Chair
man Leighton A. Ellis, the state COM
mittee Of the Progressive party met
at Coats House in Kansas City, No,
last Friday afternoon. In sending out
the call for the meeting, Mr.. Ellis had
suggested that county chairmen and
other interested workers would be
welcome.
Accordingly, about hundred lead
ing members Of the Moose party,
representing over fifty counties, at
tended the meeting There were
twenty-four members Of the commit
tee present, being the largest number
that has ever attended a Progressive
committee meeting in this state.
The spirit of the gathering was
decidedly militant. Some Of the speak
ers declared that they had left their
former affiliation with the Republi-
can party because that party had out
lived its usefulness, had lost its con-
science and had fallen into unscrupu-
lous hands; that the people confirmed
their judgment in these matters by
casting nearly Il million more votes
for the new party than for the old
one in the last election; and that now
the old party bosses establish new
monument Of stupidity by suggesting
that the Progressives return to the
party that they and the people have so
overwhelmingly repudiated. They de
clare that Col. Roosevelt is the only
national leader of any party big
enough to oppose Democracy with
any show Of success, and that he will
sweep the country in 1916 at the head
Of the Progressive ticket. They eX-
poet to elect several congressman this
| year.
In addition to reafirminG their al
lcgiancc to the national and state
platforms of l9l2,thc resolutions com
mitted the party to the support of the
county unit in the coming election
Amnlgamation with any other party
was declared to be out Of the ques-
ton. 'F

HORT0N--SPAUGH

The wedding of two of Farmingtons
most popular young society people oc-
CURED at one o'clock p. M, on Thurs
day, May nth, when DR.. Edward
Linn Horton and Miss Ruth Erskine
Spaugh were married by Rev. War
ner DuBose assisted by Rev Weeks,
of the Compton Heights Baptist
church, St. Louis.
The simple, beautiful. impressive
ring ceremony of the Presbyterian
church was used, the contracting par
ties being grouped before the east
window at the home of the brides
mother, Mrs. E. L. Spaugh, where had
been banked woodland blossoms and
ferns in exquisite profusion, the couple
being unattended.
The bride was gowned in q cloth
gown Of dark blue with hat to match
with corsage boquet of purple orch
ids, lilies Of the valley and maiden
hair fern.
None but the members of the i'm
mediate families of the bride and
groom were present, and the happy
couple, after enjoying dainty refresh
ments Immediately following the cer-
enony, departed in automobiles for
Rock Springs where they took the
train for st. Louis, Washington, New
York and other eastern points for a
honeymoon stay of two weeks.
Upon returning to Pennington Mr..
and Mrs. Horton will reside tempor-
arily at the home of the brides moth
er on First street until their own
pretty new cottage in the West end
is completed.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mrs. E. l.. Spaugh and one of the
most popular and accomplished of
Farmington's younger society. Dr..
Horton has been successfully estab-
lished in the practice of dentistry in
Pennington for some years, and like
the lovely bride he has won a large
circle of friends all of whom wish
them both long years of happiness and
all that life holds of contentment and
rosy future. In these good wishes the
Times heartily joins.

WHO PAYS FOR THE
ADVERTISING?

The other day | talked to n
department manager in a st.
Louis haberdashery on Olive
street, which has just lately
spread out a bit by occupying
the adjoining store, formerly op-
Grated by a competitor. ] asked
this department manager what
did it?"
And he said:
"The advertising those folks
DIDN'T do.
And he hit the nail squarely
on the head. This concerns
advertising (Which is regular,
persistent, rather than over
whelming in amount) has built
splendid store from small
beginning, And when you come
to simmer the thing down to bed
rock. it was that COMPETITOR
who DID NOT advertise, who
paid for il in the end.
There seems to be an idea
that prevails more or less in
Pennington that advertising is
an eXpcnse-to be minimized as
much as possible, or dispensed
with entirely if there's any
chance Mt all.
But if you'll notice, it's the
advertiser who spends the
MOST who do it most willing
ly, because they have found of
an expense it is an Investment
an investment in public conf
dcnce. stability, the power to
endure hrough any competition,
through adversely, through any
thing, That's just why adver-
ti8ing is a BUILDER of bust
ness. The idea should or must
Immediately attract n crowd
like the auctionecr's stridcnt
voice or the bell-ringiug of his
,drummer-up is so old it has
whiskers on it, and is a joke to
those advertisers who have
made it pay.
I'm not hired, however, to
sermonize on you what is good
and bad advertising. I'm paid
to HELP YOU, Mr.. Advertiser,
whoever you are, to MAKE 1T
PAY. So ] renew the invitation
come up and talk it over with
me, | havn't the time nor the
disposition to hang around a
gainst your will. But if you
ARE the Give one" you would
have as believe, back it up
start your advertising campaign
and do it now. For publication

Dr. T. B. Bradford, district director Sanitary Arkansas State Board of Health, says: Does anyone question the statement that vaccination prohibits? If so, it will only be necessary to study reports from few na- tions.
 Tn Sweden, the 28 years be- fore vaccination was introduced, I2,050 persons out of every mil- lion died of smallpox. During the following 40 years vaccina- tion was practiced and only 158 out of every million died of smallpox.
 "In Berlin, 24 years preceding vaccination, there was an aver age of 3,422 deaths from small pox annually. In the 40 years following it's introduction, there were only 176 deaths.
 "In Havana, Cuba, from the year 1879 to 1899, there were 12,460 deaths from smallpox. I'm 1899 Uncle Sam took charge and established jurisdiction and in- stituted compulsory vaccination, and as a result, since that time, in a period of 15 years, only 4 deaths have occurred.
 "Now, does it pay to vaccinateZ {
 "I trust" says the doctor. "that every reader of the Inde- pendent will see the wisdom of being vaccinated for it prohibits death from this loathsome dis case and preserves the skin from ugly A1narks very rXvnfensale faalensa Under mod +. asepsis there are no bad results from the use of the government dispatched vac cine points"

, WHITE WAY
 ], FOR NEWPORT
< Cooperative Electric Company Offers City Splendid
 Proposition.

Newport has an opportunity to secure Great White Way" for
 it's business section, if the ex- ' pense can be met by the city or business man in acceptance of "a very liberal offer upon the part IxNf the Cooperative Electric
 Light Company, whose officials
 J. H. Hamel and w. B. Cross
 land are public spirited, pro-
 gressive, want to see Newport
 advertised and grow.
 The company proposes to give
 the city 176 forty watt lights,
 four to each stand, thus giving
 each block between Beech and
 Pine streets on Front foul stands
 or Is lights, all the lights on Front street to be on the East
 side of the street as there are
 few business houses on the west side of this street.
 N The blocks on Hazel and Wal x hut between First and Second
 streets are also to be given two
 stands upon either side of these
 streets, making 32 lights for
 these two blocks and the other
 112 on Front street. This plan
 of arrangement is probably as
 good as could be made, but changes could be authorized if found more practicable or of
 greater beauty and benefit. The
 officials of the light company al-
 so state that they would pur-
 chase and install high class fix ttures in keeping with the idea
 of beautifying the city.
 The company offers to pa ythe cost of installation of such ' system, which means an expense \ Of about $3,000 and also to maintain the equipment and fur ! nish service for $115 per month, which is a very reasona- ble, yes low price considering the cost to other cities.
 x An electrical display of this character advertises a city bet S ter than any other means orered, for Jonesboro, Arkansas and Columbia, Missouri are two notable examples of cities whose xboom and growth are partially
 traceable at least to the adver-
 Using of their White Way and the impression such a display makes upon all visitors to the city as well as upon transients and travellers merely passing
 through.
 Newport needs this system, but the city is hardly in finan- cial position to make such con- tract, for we understand there is only about $1,O00 in the treas < ury and the city faces some hea- \ w expenses in providing the

President Refuses
 To Arbitrate
Huerta's Men Must Salute Flag They Treated With Con-
 tempt.

|
 Washington, April 15.-With a majority of the ships of the American navy under orders to proceed immediately to the At lantic and Pacific coasts of Mex |ico, the United States govern ment gave Provisional President Huerta final warning that unless a salute is fired to the stars and stripes within a reasonable time to atone for repeated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States, " serious re- suits will follow.
 1t was learned tonight that General Huerta, when informed by Charge O'Shaughnessy of the proposed demonstration of the Atlantic fleet, argued that the episode growing out of the ar rest of American bluejackets at Tampico is a fit subject for arbi- tration at The Hague, and that he would appoint commission to investigate the incident. Pres ident Wilson, in an emphatic re- ply through Charge O'Shaugh- messy, is said to have told Gen. Huerta that the time for delay and evasion had passed, and that the American government will temporize no longer. Adminis- tration officials hold that insults to the flag and questions of na- tional honor are not subjects for arbitration.
 All information that reached Washington from Mexico City tends to show that General Huer- ta believes the Washington gov ernment is blufing. Some anti American demonstrations at Vera Cruz and other points are reported.
 General Huerta submitted to an executive session of the Mex ico Senate today the demands of the American government of a salute of the flag. No informa- tion of the result has been re- ceived.
 While expressing earnest hope for peace, the president told members and house Committees on Foreign Affairs that the of- lenses of the de facto govern ment at Mexico City could no longer be tolerated, and that un- less Huerta complies with the American demands seizure of 1 the customs houses at TampicO andVera Cruz and even the de- claration of a Pacific blockade, shutting off commercial inter- course with the United States, would be justified by precedents i in international law.
 No aggressive act such as the ling of any towns or the seizure Handing of marines or the she'll of any ports will be undertaken without authorization from con- gress after President Wilson has personally delivered a message on the subject.
 The nearly unanimous approv' al that Republicans and Demo- crats alike gave the administra- ltion's first steps made it appar- lent, however, that should Rear Admiral Badger find it necessa- Try, Congress would back up the IAmerican navy without hesita- l tion.
