TUESDAY

Oh. Tuesday is a large, fat day,
Endorsed by pulpit and by press
a dav on which to shoe away all
mental collie and distress. On
Tuesday hustling people thrive,
and see their bank accounts IN
creased: we all are glad that we're
alive when Tuesdays sun shines
in the east. But Tuesday has no
charm for men who play the old.
sad loafing game; who fam would
own the potent yen, but will not
work to get the same. You see
that bunch in every town, the
shiftless, lazy, frowzy ghosts !;
they're holding dry goods boxes
down. or bracing poles and hitch
ing posts. Fair Tuesday comes
with noble gifts. but idlers have
no show thereat: as on her shin
ing way she drifts, she eyes the
bunch and mutters, Scat" Her
gifts are for the busting boys
who hump themselves the whole
day long, and in the evening find
their JOYS at home, mid laughter,
mirth and song. You could not
ask smoother day on which your
labors to pursue; but if you fool
the hours away, all days will look
alike to you.

TAX EXEMPTION ISSUES
DISCUSSED BY CITIZENS
Senator Gallinger Lauded by East
Washington Association
in Resolution.

At the March meeting of the East
Washington Citizens Association last
night at East Washington Hall, ques-
tons relating to tax exemptions were
considered. The discussion was shorten
ed by NJ. I. Weller, who withdrew a reso-
luton he offered several months ago
81 500 on homes occupied by owners.
"A bill providing for such an exemp-
ton" Mr.. Weller stated. soon will be
introduced in Congress and it will pass
and become law
John H. Adnaans presented resolu-
ton asking for legislative revision Of the
conditions under which realty is exempt
ed from taxation. He stated that eight
classes Of realty are now included in the
list Of property that is not taxed. He
mentioned the valuable church property
included in the list and quoted from the
Bible to show the justice of his conten-
ton that such property ought to be
taxed.
Objects of Quotations.
NJ. |. Weller objects to Mr.. Adriaans'
quotations, saying it was bringing re-
ligious matters into the association.
Out MI. AuElddHS uellleu IudI Ills daOs0-
tons could be SO construed.
They merely show that the founders
Of religions favored paying their shares
Of taxes or tributes" Mr. Adriaans said.
Mr. Adriaans stated that much of his
information was obtained from a re
Darneille. who was then assessor, and
Mr. Weller said that the report of Mp.
Darneille was filled with SO many err
roneous statements and propositions
that it was ridiculous.
Replying to statements made by the
mover of the resolution, Mr.. Weller
said that the payment of taxes upon
certain exempted property is fully
covered in the method Of paying the
institutions that are earning money
should pay taxes. The resolution was
further discussed and rejected by the
association.
Gallinger Is Commended.
Senator Jacob H. Gallinger who
served as chairman Of the District
committee number Of years ago. was
highly commended in a resolution Of
fered by S. W. Curriden. The resolu-
ton reads:
The East Washington Citizens Assoct-
alton heartily rejoices at the appropria-
ton by United States Senate Of 1906, GOO
for the erection of public hospital on
the site procured for it many years ago
this rejoicing due to the belief that it
will enable the District Commissioners al

tai. with its better and larger facilities

cause Of limited facilities and occupying

This association rejoices further that
this new public hospital is to be given
the honored name of Gallinger, a man
whose many years Of patient painstakins
service in the United States Senate. has
secured legislation beneficial to every
citizen Of the District, the value Of which
will be appreciated in future years bet

stated. would mean the saving of $4,000

Another reason urged for the con-

stated. is that friends Of prisoners might

SPEAK UP, SENATOR!

Judge Walls of Lonoke and Henry Traylor of Conway are members of the executive committee of the State Democratic Central Committee, who will canvass the results of the pri- mary election. Both are candidates for United States marshal for the Eastern district of Arkansas.
 Senator Clarke is depending upon both of them to vote to sustain the Poinsett larceny which gives him a majority for the senate.
 If Senator Clarke will announce now whom he is going to appoint as marshal, we will guarantee that he will not have the support of both of these men in the committee.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-04-02

honest Democrats who voted for Clarke, but whose every sense of de- cency is outraged by infamous crime of these nighttime burglars in Poin- sett county.
 It would have been just as legal and just as much in proportion to the number of poll tax receipts in Faulkner county for Col. G. w. Bruce. who acted as chairman of our county convention, to draw up cer- tifcate showing that Kirby received 1000 votes and Clarke 100 votes in Faulkner county, and attempt to have such figures. included in the official count, as it was for Night-Rider Go- ing to perpetrate such debauchery of the ballots as he did in Poinsett county.
 If such as this is continued, there will be no use of honest people voting in our state primary elections, where the outcome is in any way close. We might as well stay at home and let the Clyde Goings and the other Dick Turpins of Eastern Arkansas politics decide who shall have our offices.
 But we have too much confidence in the integrity of the people to believe that they will longer tamely endure such outrages. The time has come when decent Democrats must assert themselves. Irrespective of whom they supported in the primary, they should demand-and enforce their demand-that Judge Kirby be given the nomination he has honestly won, and that the ballot thieves of Poinsett be sent to the penitentiary.

Little Rock, March 31.-After three regular panels had been exhausted and 10 special jurors summoned when court adjourned late yesterday after noon only nine jurors had been chos- en in the case of Joe Coker, charged with the killing of Dr. John Harrod.

 Court convened at 9 o'clock yester- day morning, but adjourned until Z o'clock yesterday afternoon as the Democratic Central Committee was using the First Division room. Cok- CTS wife and eight children were with him in the court room yesterday. The youngest child, a baby little more than a month old, slept peacefully most of the time on the top of ta- ble. Another, a small girl, curled up in an alcove formed by a doorway, and lying on a pile of coats, slept on in spite of the crowd and the ques- tioning of the Jurors.
