Gated the establishment of a system

of graft for itself.
That brings up another question.
1t seems to be the opinion of some
newspapers that those papers which
opposed the publicity bill when the
act was before the people should
not be given any of the printing
And, by the way, right there you
probably have the key to the real
reason why almost every news
paper in Arkansas fought its head
off for the publicity measure. The
Record will accept printing under
the new act purely as a matter of
business. The publicity act is the
law of the land; the people adopted
the measure. If the Record should
refuse to furnish publicity to such
items as are required to be publish
ed under the act, the Record would
only be injured and the people
would not be helped; the publica-
ton would simply be made else
where in the county. The Records
conscience is clear on that point.
If this paper, viewing the matter as
it does, could repeal the act it
would do it in a minute. If our
present estimate of the act proves
correct we shall have the pleasure
of helping the folks repeal the act
at no very far distant date. If the
act proves profitable to the people
and popular among them, the joke
is on US and you may charge US
with another mistake in judgment.
The Record would not publicly en-
dorse the publicity act for every
line of printing the act will produce.
That's plain. But as long as the
act is law we shall not crafty any
body by giving a clear field in such
publications as the law requires.
Then, we judge that there is no
better medium in this section
through which the proper officials
could carry out the provisions of
Act No. 3, If they proceed on the
theory that giving publicity means
reaching the people, than this pa
per. Anyhow, all hands around
know the Records position.
We shall all know more about
the publicity act as time moves
along and the measure is placed in
operation in all its glory, The
people adopted the measure If,
after a fair trial they like 1t, they
will keep it. If they do not like ii,
they can wade through the tears
and trample upon the earnest pray
ers of fifteen-sixteenths Of the news
papers cf the state and knock the
thing into a cooked hat.
Sharp County record., 1914-11-06
THE PUBLICITY BILL

IN the fourth page Of this issue
of tbe Record appears the first in
stallment of public printing under
Act No. 8, the Publicity Bill which
was adopted by the people at the
General election last September.
This first installment consists OF
four orders of the state railroad
commission, and we ask all our
readers to turn to the matter !,e and
read il, after which they will have
some better idea as to whether or
not the publication of such things
will relieve crying and long
neglected need in this state, and
whether or not the publication OF
such matters is worth to the people
what the cost will amount to IN
oood honest coin of the realm.
OF course no reader will forget
the fact that he is helping to pay
this bill. To publish the four ord
ers of the railroad commission
which appear in this paper in the
seventy-five counties of Arkansas
costs the taxpayers $1,6S75O, or
S22.5O to the county The people,
as they always do, pay the bills.
The newspapers get the money,
and, while it will be generally ad-
mitted that the press needs the
funds, that can hardly be consider
ed the proper basis upon which to
Judge the merits of the act
The publicity bill is by long odds
the best thing for the newspapers
that has come down the road in
Arkansas in many moons. 1t is a
system of legalized graft for the
newspapers pure and simple, and
we make the prediction now that
when this law is fully in operation
the people will ser up a howl that
can be heard in adjoining domin-
ions and that they will never rest
until the act is repealed and buried
forever beneath righteous pubic
indignation. We are in the news
paper business for business and for
profit, yet there are at least two
reasons why we wish to publicly
denounce the publicity law. First,
not to do so would be breach of
honest conviction and break in
faith with our readers, which this
paper has always tried to maintain.
Second, this paper has at least been
consistent in an attempt to fight
draft in this state for years, and.
graft is graft as certainly when the
profits therelrom accrue to the
newspapers as when they 60 else

Which OF These Stories About
Our Mexican Blunder Is
the True One?

: Villa kept up the war on Huerta until he
fled for his life
Our mediators tried to persuade Carranza
to stop the war, and to promise protection to
Huerta, &c, as stated elsewhere in this paper,
Our Government had put itself in the
hands Of the Roman Catholics Of The Pan
American Union, but Carranza and Villa de-
clined to commit folly of that sort.
Consequently, the war went on, the A. B.
c. mediation failed to accomplish what the
Italian pope wanted, and old Huerta, his
garments dripping with the hfeblood of
Mexican patriots, ran away to Spain.
Now comes the news that, to anticipate an
embarrassing demand from Carranza and
Villa, the American troops at Vera Cruz have
been ordered home.
What acore they sent there for?
Don't forget the facts: Admiral Mayo
landed some of our marines at Tampico, to
buy some gasoline. At least, that's what he
claims.
Tampico was foreign soil, and was under
Martial Law. Admiral Mayo had no legal
right to put his bluejackets ashore, without
permission of the Mexican authorities,
He did not request permission, but landed
his men without notice to the Mexican off
GERS.
The local guard put the Americans under
ARREST, UuG Ulu not OlleE them ANY luOlSnlUy
and did not lock them up.
In a few minutes after the arrest, supe-
rior Mexican officer saw the Americans under
arrest and ordered their immediate release.
a full and prompt apology was offered to
Mayo by the Chief Mexican officer of the
Tampico military district. Huerta also
apologlzed, promptly and fully.
Did Admiral Mayo accept these public
apologies, for an arrest which he himself had
blunderingly caused?
Not at all On the contrary, he peremp-
torily demanded that within brief limit of
time which he fixed by his own watch, the
Mexican general erect a U. S. flag in Tam
plco, and salute it with 81 guns of large
calibre
There is absolutely no precedent and no
law that justifies the imperious demand of
Admiral Mayo
Bryan had not at that time hired two ex-
pert lawyers, Scott and Wambaugh. to post
him on International Law; and therefore he
and Wilson rashly backed up the Peace
dove demand of Mayo.
The consequence was that our bluejackets
were landed, not at Tampico, but at Vera
Cruz, wher they killed several hundred Mex
leans who had had nothing whatever to do
with the Tampico affair
In this business, lawless and bellicose-
totally at variance with the Peace dove pro-
fessions of Wilson and Bryan-nineteen Of
our gallant boys were killed outright, and
several others mortally wounded, or MANNED
When the bodies of these American boys,
sacrificed without excuse or reason, were
brought to New York to be sent to the vari-
Gus grief-shadowed homes of fathers and
mothers, President Wilson made another of
his pharisaical speeches.
He said
eve have gone down to Mexico to serve
mankind, if we can find the way.

The Naval Stores Trust which deals in
rosin and turpentine, pitch and tar. got their
relief from the Government so quietly that
it is not generally known they got any.
It seems to have been a case of holding the
crop off the market-01M Of suppreSSing the
facts as to the size Of the crop.
The Trust prevailed upon the Government,
by the aid of Senator Hoze Smith, to violate
its own laws as to official reports in order
that a favored few might coin money out Of
the deception practised Wp0n the public.
No wonder the Trust kept the secret
No wonder Smith did not include this VIC
lation of law among his great achievements
when he published the Record of his feats
He knew that the Trust would tip it off to
the trade-rosn and turpentine, pitch and
tar-and that the voters of the Naval Stores
Trust would do the rest.
What do you think of Democratic adj
ministration which violates the law to help
Trust, and won't pass law to help the Far
mer!

THE JEFFERSONIAN

A war Of service! We had violated the
rights of neighbor nation, seized her princi-
pal seaport, and redeemed the street of her
principal coast-city with the blood of natives
who had done us no harm!
We had done this We who had prated
of universal amity peace doves, brothely
love, and all the rest Of it,
Never did the practise go SO wide Of the
preaching, and our troops at Vera Cruz were
in q false position from the start.
But they have been ordered by Wilson and
Bryan to evacuate the foreign soil which they
had been violating.
Why arc they ordered home?
In the press dispatches Of Sept. Is, you
may have seen the words ~. S. quits Mex
leo at demand Of Carranza,"
Then follows this
WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT.
Tho reasons for the step were set forth in the
following statement from the White House:
This action is taken in view of the entire re-
moval Of the circumstances which were thought
to Justify the occupation The further presence
OF the troops is deemed unnecessary
The President discussed the subject with his
Cabinet, some of wham, it is understood, did not
favor the move. 1t finally the consensus of
opinion that the main purpose of the American
expedition to Vera Cruz-to punish the affrOnt
to the flag at TampicO-had been achieved
through the occupation itself and the forcing of
Huerta's abdication as provisional president.
So! According to t6is last statement, we
killed several hundred Mexicans at Vera
Cruz, and sacrificed 10 of our own youths,
"to punish the afr0nt to the flag at Tana-
pico."
Therefore, it was 4 WAR OF Re-
VENICE, and not "a war Of service to mans
kind"
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts.
On the 4th day of October when we pray
that Europe will quit fighting, let us pray
also for President Uriah Wilson, and for
Peace treaty Bryan, who now admit that they
caused bloodshed and left a00und that aOiz1
Arrays ra7ahze IN Neuico, for no better reason
than that the Mexicans refused to comply
with Admiral Mayos most arrogant and law-
less demand.
Moreover, the flag has never yet been sa-
luted.
AS to Huerta's 'abdication," that brutal
murderer fled as soon as he realized that the
Italian pope's effort to save him, through the
A. B. G. mediation at Niagara, had proved
abortive
