THEATRICAL

There is laugh in every line of
"Potash & Perlmutter," the famous
comedy of the cloak and suit trade
that manager A. H. Woods will pre-
sent at the Paris Grand on Thursday,
September 10th, direct from its sec,
ond year at the Cohan Theatre, New
York City. The three-act play is one
long riot of humor-humor broken
from time to time by pathos and sus-
pense enough to form strong fra
matte contrast which holds the audi
ence spell-bound until the very last
word is spoken. Greggs' Imperial
Orchestra of the Colonial Theatre,
Lexington, will furnish the music.
Columbia Theatre To-Day.
Four splendid reels of pictures will
be shown-two from the Mutual ser
vice and two from the Universal.
A talented musician is now play,
ing the pictures at The Columbia.
Don't fail to attend to-day.

SIZZLING WORDS!

"a link in the long chain OF un-
faithful and cowardly jailers has been
broken by the jailer of Bourbon coun-
ty, who defended prisoner at the
risk of his own life and shot to kill
when the mob began to roughly
handle him. The cowardly makeup
of mobs was again displayed when
the men fed in confusion after the
jailer, single-handed, opened fire.
There was little excuse for the at
tempted lawlessness. The man want
ed was a negro and was sure OF the
punishment he deserved. 1t is re-
gretable one of the mob was killed,
but if his death will put a stop to
lynch law it will not be in vain.
Jailer Farris has rendered a distinct
service to the majesty of the law and
shown his regard for the sacredness
of an oath by furnishing an object
lesson to those who would take the
law into their own hands that they
do so at the peril of their lives. All
honor to him''-Col. w. P. Walton, in
Richmond Climax.

A TIME TO GIVE THANKS.

1t would be a Christening and bene-
fetal experience for the critics of
President Wilson's Mexican policy to
sit down and go over their criticisms
of a few weeks since, says the ST.
Louis Republic. Where would the
world be if the United States and
Mexico were at war today?
At this moment all mankind turns
to the United States. Never before in
the history of the race has a people
faced such responsibility. With the
Six Great Powers of Europe already
at war or trembling on the verge, this
nation is the center of the worlds
hopes. The great ships of the Seven
Seas seek asylum in our harbOrs; ma
tons facing panic stretch out their
hands to us for gold; We shall be
called upon to feed the hungry, to do
many a gracious deed to those need
ing the Offices of the Good Samaritan
perhaps to mediate <setween bleeding
and exhausted foes. and we are in
position to respond to these appeals,
to preserve 100,000,000 of our own
people yin prosperous security, be-
cause our hands are clean of blood
and we are at peace with all the
world
Suppose we had been engaged in a
war of subjugatiOn in Mexico, will
all it's colossal economic waste, when
we were called upon to sustain the
tottering business structure of the
world. Suppose, to-day, the whole OF
South America were one red blaze OF
| indignation because of our invasion
of the territory of a .tlatin-American
people. Suppose our financial struct
ure, along with the strain of the NOV
ing of enormous corps and the Incl
dental disturbances from overseas
were weighed with the necessity OF
financing costly war, with al
sources of international credit dried
up. Suppose there were no abode Of
high civilization on either continent
no single nation of wealth and power
to whom the hope of mankind might
turn as the abode of peace. Is it MOI
time to give thanks for the patient
wisdom of the President?

PROHIBITION AND TEMPERANCE

A great many people confuse Pro-
hibition with temperance, and in this
way are mislead into believing that if
Winchester should vote "dry'' in the
coming local option election, the
cause of temperance would be great
ly advanced in the community. AS a
situation is entirely raise, as there is
little connection between prohibition
and temperance. '"You can lead
horse to water, but you can't make
him drink" And you may prohibit
man from drinking, but you can't
make him quit.
The only way in which the cause of
temperance can be promoted effectu-
ally is by the education of the indi-
vidual. If an appeal to mans moral
character does not PREVENT his
drinking, then there would be little
use to PROHIBIT it. A man is in
many respects just grown up boy.
Forbid the lad admission to the pan
| try, and he will risk the worst licking
of his life for a taste of jam. And
so it is with a man, with regard to
liquor.
| DR.. William Osler, a noted physi-
clan of the Johns Hopkins Universe
! ty has declared in one of his famous
medical books that more people die
| every year from intemperance in eat
| ing than in drinking" Therefore it
will be seen that to prohibit man
! from drinking because some men i'm
| bibe too freely is no more reasonable
than to prohibit the sale of certain
articles of food because that partic-
ular article "does not agree with
fsome individual.
Temperance is temperament eat
ing, in amusementS in every kind of
human self-indulgence, as well as in
drinking. Any intemperance cannot
be prevented by legislation, and pro-
hibition cannot be made to prohibit.
| 1t would be a misconception of the
liquor problem to attempt to control
the personal habits of any man by a
! law prohibiting the sale of liquor.
! The law does not prohibit a man
from BUYING all the liquor he can
get-Only the dealer from selling
And what is more reasonable to sup
pose than that the man who buys will
go to a dealer in some other town
who is not prohibited from selling.
And what town is closer and "wetteF
and greedier than Lexington.
/ Lexington reached out and drew to
herself the Burley Tobacco Society,
which had been nourished in tbs in
fancy and taught to walk" by Win
chester. And the business men Of
that city doubtless chuckled in their
sleeves at the ease with which they
did it, Shall we again be the easy
marks and witless Cupes of Lexing-
ton Winchester Sun.

NOW foREstAl RESULTS

Thro' the efforts and influence of few of 9ur clever county officials the iroad tax carried again in Monr6e county and now it's up to thesd gentlemen to get busy and show some REAL re- suits from this expenditure Of money.
 As before stated about Sl50, : 900. co of money has been collect ed as road tax during the past ten years and if there is $50000 worth of results to show for all of this expenditure the ARGUS would be glad to know where it is.
 This money has been spent just as the County Judge saw fit. It has largely been the cause of the undoing of two clever men who had been honor ed by election as Judges and scandals followed resulting In their indictments. The people of Monroe County have suffered from such disgraces long enough and with if all our public roads are not a whit better than they were before we had the road tax.
 So long as the present make shift road tax Is levied just So long will the people of Monroe county be without a system of permanent roads and the ARGUS opposed it because of this
 During the past few years the writer has had occasion to visit nearly all of the middle states and to note the progress and de yelopement thereof together with the causes producing same. In every state where there is 2 real development going on. per manent roads are invariably the foundation of every step of progress.
 The greatest hindrance in the rapid growth and development of Arkansas today is the lack of real permanent roads. Arkansas has the world beat a mile on nearly every possible line and with the extensive and unsgr- passed advertising that has been to attract attention, thousands upon thousands of people would flock to the state if we but had real roads. Whereas without them they turn their backs on us and say whats the use oI wasting your life in such a cogm- try waiting for the people to wake up?'
 Quite few of the ARGUS readers will remember an ad- vertisement which appeared iu the ARGUS some months ago. where an Illinois man adger- tised to buy a small farm rear Brinkley. The Illinois man re- ceived a number of letters from people in the Brinkley territory who wanted to sell him farms, He came here to look at the places and one day after he had been riding all day. out thro' the county dropped in at the ARGUS office. After introucing him. self said: Well, 1 met you on your great Arkansas on Wheels train as you were thro' our town.

Farm Products Wanted

If there's any of the readers of the ARGUS who have choice articles in the way of rice. corn, cotton, potatoes, vegetables or other farm products. the ARGUS would like to have them for a young man who desires to in clude them in an agricultural display at the Fair. Please send them in, tagged and state whether you desire them re- turned or not.
