Capital Punishment
 Will be Abolished
COMING SESSION OF STATE LEG- ISLATURE EXPECTED TO
 ACT ON QUESTION:.

The unpleasant conditions aris- ing from the execution of Arthur Tillman in Logan county, and the legal squabble now taking place to save Arthur Hodges from the electric chair next Sat urday, has started anew a de- mand for a law which will do away with capital punishment entirely. A bill will be present. ed in the 1915 legislature, assess ing a punishment of life imprison- ment in the State .penitentiary for those found guilty of crimes which are now punishable by death.
 It is doubtful if such trying condition ever faced any gover- nor as that pretaining to the four youths incarcerated in the Ark ansas penitentiary, all sentenced to death. Every effort possible was exerted to save Arthur Till man from the gallows, where he paid the penalty for murdering his sweetheart. Now comes Arthur Hodges, who, guilty of murder of a constable in Clark county, pleads insanity first at his trial, and failing to make it an adequate defense there, now tries to prove himself insane, with a knowledge that the law will not permit an insane man to be executed. Hodges is bare ly more than a boy.
 There are two more youths in the penitentiary awaiting cleo trocution, Clarence DeWein and Joe Strong. Neither of these have reached the age of man. hood and their youth is causing much sympathy to be expressed in their behalf, though they have been convicted of murdering l.. H. Thompson, an aged merchant. of Benton, while robbing his store. The law makes it first degree murder when man is killed while being robbed, hence there IS no way to lessen the degree of the boys crime.
 Had the defendants in these cases been men of mature age, there would have been little effort other than the usual legal eXertion, to save them from the supreme punishment sanctioned by law, but the execution of boys has so aroused the people that they will make it impossible for it to happen again, by a change of the laws.

A Home-Grown
 Christmas Dinner
ARKANSAS SOIL PRODUCES ALL THINGS NEEDED FOR THE
 GREAT HOME FEAST.

This week the All Arkansas Christmas Dinner campaign was inaugerated, and until the holi- days the people of Arkansas will be urged to honor the procla- nation issued by Gov. c. w. Hays, and if they cannot feed themselves on home products for this big meal of the year, to at least use nothing but home pro- ducts for the feast. Menus will be prepared by leading chefs and housewives of the State, demonstrating what an elaborate dinner can be served and nothing but Arkansas products used.
 Everything for a successful Christmas dinner is grown in Arkansas with the possible ex- ception of the cranberry sauce and oyster dressing, and no one has attempted the growing of cranberries, though it is admitted the salt water of Arkansas is hardly adaptable to the growing of oysters. Had the proclama- tion been issued earlier some one would no doubt have attempted cranberry growing, but some other sauce will be found which will fill the bill-or the internal vacancy. Arkansas ches tn u S will cause the oysters for dress ing to be forgotten.
 There is manufactured in Ark ansas crackers equal to any in the United States, Ft. Smith boasting of an excellent factory. Macaroni is also manufactured in Ft. Smith. Vegetables of all sorts are canned in every section of the State, so they will not be hard to secure. Turkeys, geese, pork, beef, mutton, or any other kind of meat is plentiful in all sections and with Arkansas flour and meal surpassing any shipped in, it is rediculous for anyone to consider anything from the out side. If they cannot be made at home, the fruit cakes and plum buildings can be secured in large quantities in Little Rock
 Arkansas even produces spices and flavoring extracts, so that the only thing necessary to serve the dinner, that must be brought in is the cutlery and the dishes, but the day is not far away when Arkansas potteries will supply one of these wants.

lioht From the Earth.

The darkest part of the sky is al ways aglew The earth itself gives off a lot of light. Scientists of the Franklin institute have measured this earth light and have found that it is of the order of one-tenth part Of the intensity of star of the first order oi magnitude. It Is attributed, at least partially, to a permanent aurora bore alis which Is revealed by the charac teristic green ray observed on ob sccre nights in the whole heavens.

Esrth's Temperature.

It has long been known that the tenn perature below the earth's surface in- creases at the rate of about one degree per hundred feet, or 50 degrees per mile. If the rate of increase were con- stant. the temperature at the relative ly small depth of 100 miles would be above the melting point of all sub stances under ordinary surface eondi- tions.

Worid's Darkest Moment.

The darkest moment Is said to be just before dawn. This is now dis covered not to be 80. The darkest moment. relatively speaking, Is when that living things on the earth are blinded by the dazzle of tho sun and fail to recognize the light that never fails out in space.

SHIP LEGISLATION TO BE
PUSHED AT WASHINGTON
Repeal of Present Marine Laws to Come Before
Congress in Effort to Build UP Our Sea Commerce
During the European Crisis.

Increase of the American merchant
marine by 100 ships is expected as
an immediate result to break the tie
up of foreign commerce.
Government ownership and opera
tion of a feet of merchant ships is
proposed in bill introduced today
by Representative Bryan, of Wash
ington. The bill directs that the
President, without unnecessary de-
lay TO purchase, lease, construct or
acquire the necessary vessels to
handle the coastwise passengers and
freight traffic of the United States.
All the provisions Of the seamen's $
bill relating to proper treatment of
seamen and safety of passengers are
included in the proposed measure,
which also contemplates compensa-
ton for accidents and insurance of
seamen. The bill eontemplates a
monopoly of the coastwse trade for
government owned vessels
