WN INE BLUFF O ROGRESS
 R0SpERITY
AND WE ASK WHY.

Ever and anon there goes up com plaint, and a just one in many re- spects that human life is too cheap, that murder can be committed with impunity. 1t is only, however, when some glaring case, such as that of the Litt'es, at Shreveport, comes to light, that the public mind is forcibly inn pressed. .4
 A man was shot down, according to witnesses, in absolute cold blood, without warning and with no idea that such was to occur. It is said that Little was actuated to do the deed by his wife, who had become mad or fancifllly mad at Van Cleave. They were arrested, later there was a tri- al, the evidence pointed clearly to pre- meditated murder. jury of twelve men impaneled to try the case on it's merits, rendered verdict of mot guilty" and then the citizens of Cad do Parish were aroused to a pitch of
 
 indignation such as has never been known there before.
 After the verdict had been rendered, after the Littles had been set free, an indignation meeting was held, the jurors were barred from ever sitting on jury again-all we'll enough as a protest against such future occur rences, but without effort to remove the fact that the Little were free.
 As long as juries, chosen because of sympathetic feeling, because of ignorance, bought or suborned by some methods, or beguiled by silver tcngued attorneys, turn people on the streets who ought to be behind prison bars, just so long will human life be a cheap affair in this country. man with some mind and a fair amount of money can in many instances and in some sections of the country evade a punishment which is justly merited Punishment of evildoers is not meted or should not be out of feeling of vengeance, but that society can be protected. A knowledge of wellnigh certain punishment will deter many from crime. True enough it will not entirely eradicate, but will minimize
 One cannot but admire the methods of England. Compared to the United States, murders there are quite few The explanation of this lies largely in the statement that when murder is committed in England just trial is given, and punishment is quickly glv- en. Various technicalities are swept aside, varied phases of insanity relied upon to cheat the prison or death pen alty are ignored. It has to be clear cut case of really justifiable murder for the guilty person to be set free.
 In many of the northern states homicide is dealt with severely. New York deals in this manner, and while murder is not eliminated and never will be, it is doubtless lessened.
 In many respects it is an admira- ble trait in those of the south to De sympathetic, but when it comes to a condition when this very sympathy IS working a menace to society, It IS well that there be a check. We must n,ace a very high tariff on human life and then those who would take what they cannot restore, will hesitate De- fore taking such steps. Murder, as the outgrowth of frivolous affairs, VIII largely cease.
 The only way to cause reaction Is for iurors to be absolutely firm Tn their acts and let the chips or Justlce lell where they will. And as soon as

NINE NEW TEACHERS
 FOR PEABODY COLLEGE
GREAT SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IS BETTER
 EQUIPPED FOR SERVICE
Many Prominent Alumni of Peabody Normal Resides in Arkansas
 Teachers Interested.

Nashville, Tenn, March 4.-At the last meeting of the Trustees and President of George Peabody College for Teachers just adjourned, nine list, as follows. Carter Alexander, Ph.D., Professor of School Admin istration. Lula o. Andrews, A. M., Associate Professor of English John Lee Coulter, Ph.D., Professor of Rural Economies; Mary c. Davis, Ph.D., Professor of Agriculture i; Fletcher R. Dresslar, Ph.D., Professor of School Architecture and Hygiene; Chas B. Little, Ph. D., Professor of Latin; Robert w. Selvidge, A. M., Professor of Manual and Indutrial Arts; Edward K. Strong, Jr., Ph.D., Professor of Physiology and the Psy- chology of Education; William K. Tate, A. M., Professor of Rural Edu- cation.
 The Peabody Normal School, or which the new Central Teachers Col lege for the entire South is the suc- cessor, has many prominent alumni in the State of Arkansas who are greatly interested in the establish ment of this new and epoch making institution. They are watching all the rapid development with much interest, and many of them are con- tributing generously to help bring it about.
 Arkansas readers will be particul- arly interested in the names of Dr. John Lee Coulter and Dr. Fletcher B. Dresslar, because of their national prominence.
 Dr. Coulter is the most prominent authority on Rural Economies in America. He was Secretary of the American Commission appointed by President Wilson to study Rural Credit Systems in Europe, and is the chief author of the report of the Con- mission, the first part of which has just been issued in large octave vol ume. He is the author of the bill now pending before Congress, provid- ing for the establishment of Rural Credit Associations in the United States, and which has such a wide support throughout the country that it will probably pass during this session.
 Dr. Coulter has been the special authority on Rural Economies in the United States Census Bureau. He is the Consulting Expert of the Con- mission on Industrial Relations.
 The name of Dr. Dresslar is famil- far to all educators in America who are interested particularly in the subject of School Hygiene, School Sanitation and better School Archi- lecture. He has been for number of years acting as Special Agent of the United States Bureau of Educa- tion in these lines. He is a mem Der of the Permanent International Committee on School Hygiene. He is the author of School Hygiene American Schoolhouses" and num- Der of other valuable works of a similar nature.
 The very fact that such prominent educators and men in public affairs have been selected as members of the faculty of the Central Teachers Col

Telephone Post Cards Soor',

Postmaster-Gen Burleson is to
establish another convenience in the
United States postotfices. A report
in postmasters magazine says the
department has under consideration
a certain post card ON which the per-
son sending can place the telephone
number of person to whom the card
is being sent. When the card arrives
at the postof1ice in the other city, a
clerk in the office will call up the per-
son to whom it is addressed at that
telephone number and read the mes
sage to the party The card will sub
sequently be delivered.
This is something on the order of
special delivery letter, only letter
is not opened and read over the phone
but is sent by special messenger to
the person to whom it is addressed.
In case person wants to send one of
these post card messages to be trans
mitted over phone, however, it will
go on this special form of card, which
of course will cost a little more and
will probably be known as special de-
livery post.

the erroneous idea that the editor has
purposely left out some item concern
ing them or their families.
Has it ever occurred to them that
the editor may not have heard of that
particular item, although he searched
diligently in his efforts to secure all
OF the news?
There is a very effective remedy for
these isolated but inadvertent omis~
sions. The next time you have a
piece of news concerning yourself, or
your family. OF your neighbors, or of
your community, give it to the editor
or phone or write it in to him, and do
not depend upon others to do it. They
may be more interested in affairs on
their own side Of the fence.
The editor will thank you for your
thoughtfulness in enabling him to
secure news that will add to the value
of his paper and make it OF interest
to all Of the people, for that is his
mission in life.
He is human, as we'll as you.

No Necessity for "War" Tax.

In a statement given out few days
ago by Representative Mann, he says,
there is no need to put new taxes on
the people at this time. While there
may be slight falling off in customs
receipts during the European war,
that can easily be more than met by
proper governmental economy. The
war in Europe may be over soon and
the treasury can meet the expenses OF
the government without difficulty for
a long time to come if it draws on the
government money now deposited IN
the banks. Much of the money al
ready appropriated need not be used
for the present If the president will
direct the departments to practice
economy. There are many things
which can wait over. Temporary de-
lay in many cases will be no injury.
For the seven months of this year
ending with July 81, before the war
began, our imports from foreign
countries were S122 900 900 more than
they were for the same period last
year, while our exports were $780,
900 900 less. That is caused by the
Underwood tariff. The balance OF
trade in our favor for these seven
months in this year was $50, 1000, 900.
For the same seven months last year,
the balance of trade in our favor was
SsOS 200, 900. This shows falling off
in the balance of trade in our favor
in seven months before the war COM
menced of S24S. 600 900. That is equiv
alent to a demand on us of S24S ,O0O,-
900 in gold That is one of the main
troubles with the country now, and is
the result Of the new tariff law. -

Unsurveyed Lands In Montana.

The Surveyor General Of the United
States Land Office at Washington, d.
G.. advises as follows:
1T is not because Of lack of funds
that the surveys in Montana are not
being made, as the appropriations
made by Congress for this work have
not yet been exhausted. They say
the policy of the Department is to
make the surveys only upon applica-
ton for such surveys by bona tide res
idents of the various townships, and
such applications have not been num-
erous enough to exhaust the available
appropriations for this work.
"In addition to the unused funds
on hand, the sllndry Civil Bill now
before the House, contains a large
appropriation for this work, but the
Department will only proceed to make
the surveys upon application for them
| by the bona fide residents of the differ
ent townships. Therefore, the thing
to do is to have these residents Of the
various townships in Montana located
in unsurveyed territory who will be
benefited by the surveys, make appli-
cation to the local office, Or direct to
the Department here, and the Depart
ment will go ahead and make the sur
veys. The officials here say they can
see no reason for making the surveys
in Montana or any other state just
for the sake of knowing that the lands
have been surveyed"
1t is of the greatest Importance that
the people throughout the state under
stand the Importance of starting these
applications for surveys at the earliest
possible date
