BY BERNARD SHAW.
Brieux's Damaged Goods" is q mag
nifcent piece Of work. II only. bears out
my long-standing contention that srieuS
IS one of the greatest OF all French
dramatists.
He is the natural successor to Moliere.
When I expressed this opinion In Paris
some years ago the Frenchman called
me a lunatic. asked them to name his
superiors. All they could name were a
couple of modern fashionable playwrights
whose works won't live thirty years.
The critics AFFECT to sneer at Brieux.
Just now their god is Sophhocles, whom
they proclaim a master OF technique. he
is a master in his own fashion But take
the case of his "Oedipus," recently pro-
duced. What is this technique? It is one
series of aimless, foolish. and improbable
condolences. He leads odeipus up to the
point where he discovers that he has mar
ried his own mother. Having attained
this result by childish condolences, he
makes Oedipus go mad.
Hopes Ban VIII BE Lifted
Now I maintain that he would not have
gone mad--nor any one else. 1 have often
felt like writing an Oedipus play of my
own, showing that the discovery Of this
or any other tie OF affection would not
have awakened any unnecessary abnor-
NAL emotion in him.
Take the case of Brieux in Damaged
Goods" He makes the doctor lead the
villain of the piece through all the con-
ventional phases of regret, but when it
comes to the end he takes the logical
view. He discovers himself that he would
not personally have felt the due feelings
of horror which he tried to instill in the
lai- Ia -Arrll hox- 10na ct ha
villain did. But he takes the logical step
of preventing any one led upon a course
of this kind. He wants every one told, so
that this sort of debauchery and the filthy
disease resulting will be eradicated.
1 only hope this play will be allowed
to be performed publicly. The trouble
is We are up against that inexcusable in

KIRBY CONFIDENT
 OF FINAL RESULT TO FIGHT POINSETT VOTE
SAYS HONEST PEOPLE CON DEMN GOING'S ATTEMPT
 ED ROBBERY.

Little Rock, April 6.-With Senator Jas. P Clarke leading Associate Jus tice W. F, Kirby by 211 votes on the face of returns, in a total of 135, ,797 votes cast; and with Al counties with 315 delegates to the state convention accredited to Judge Kirby, and 34 counties with 314 delegates accredit- ed to Senator Clarke, the present con- test for United States senator is the most remarkable ever known in the history of the state
 While it is being placidly consider ed as settled by the Clarke forces, Judge Kirby and his supporters are confident they will be able to show fraud sufficient to overcome the small lead that appears for Senator Clarke, and by throwing it into the state con- vention at Pine Bluff, June 3, win the nomination he contends is justly his on the vote cast by the people in the recent primary.
 We have won the election" is the confident way Judge Kirby discusses 1t. "The Democrats of the state have nominated me United States senator, as fair count of their votes in the primary, officially returned, will show.
 1t was a great battle against tre- mendous odds. Outside influences strengthened Senator Clarke's grip and control of the federal pie counter, job-holding and job-hunting brigade all of whom were coerced into sup porting him.
 Now, after the reports on the re- turns in the different counties showed unmistakably majority for me and my nomination, and after the returns from Poinsett county had been report ed to the Arkansas Gazette, indubiat- ly verified, showing majority of only 671 votes in favor of Senator Clarke, the chairman of the county conven- tion presents a certificate showing the vote to be such that it increased Sen ator Clarke's majority more than 400 votes. The Gazette received this later report and credited the increased ma jority to Senator Clarke, declaring in it's columns his nomination, notwith- standing it had on the preceding day supported it's correspondent and pub | |. that county as official, showing my nomination by nearly 200 majority.
 q have seen no statement from Senator Clarke approving this raise in the Poinsett county vote, but from the statement of his manager, R. P. Allen, it appears that he not only ex- poets to enjoy the benefit of this pro cedure, but justifes it.

GOING w
 UPHELD BY COURT TODAY
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat


 Little Rock, April 6.-The supreme court today sustained the constitu- tionality of the Going liquor bill, re- versing and remanding the decision of the Pulaski circuit court.
 The Argenta liquor petition, which was appealed from the county court. must now be tried on it's merits. as the court declared liquor laws are not among immunities from the four teenth amendment to the federal con- stitution. Also, the court declared that petitions are not the same as elections, citing federal decisions which uphold the three-mile liquor De- titions in which women are permitted to participate, while they are not per- mitted to vote in elections. The court said that if this can be permitted, ne groes, too, can be barred from sign ing liquor petitions.

There are some things worse even than being robbed of nomination for United States senator, and I would not have the nomination under such conditions.
 The people have registered their will in the Democratic primary, and the time has not yet come when the machine, manipulated by Clyde Going, in small county in eastern Arkan- sas, noted for it's unfair elections, and returning 800 more votes than the poll tax list shows qualified voters, will be permitted to control their choice of a United States senator by raising the majority to 400 votes more than first reported, because necessity required it to give Senator Clarke the appearance of having been renominated. The hon est, fair-minded voters of that county do not approve it.
 ''No bolder outrage, by more high handed methods, has ever been at tempted in this state. Honesty, jus tice and fair dealing, as well as a de cent regard for the peoples expressed will, require that it shall not succeed, and my loyal friends throughout the state, may confidently rely upon my doing all things possible to prevent

SMALLER COLLEGES . PRODUCE LEADERS DR. REYNOLDS SPEAKS HENDRIX PRESIDENT TELLS
 OF ADVANTAGES OF
 MINOR SCHOOLS.

Dr. J. H. Reynolds, president of Hendrix College, yesterday and last night delivered addresses in which he set forth the advantages of the small college over the larger institutions as producers of leaders in almost every profession and calling, says the Gazette today. He cited numerous instances in which men from small colleges had won high success in the world.
 The first address was delivered in the Winfield Memorial Methodist church and the second in the Metho- dist church on Pulaski Heights. Large audiences were present at both ad- dresses.
 After showing by statistics how the small college graduates had an ad- vantage over the graduates of larger institutions, Dr. Reynolds brought out the various points which gave this ad- vantage to the small institutions.
 Tn the first place." he said. ''the small college is more Christian in spirit By that do not mean that it's Christianity is necessarily confined to the narrower boundaries of that term; l dc not mean that it need be even sectarian, but l do mean that the smaller college is more Christian than the larger institution in that broad CT feeling of fellowship prevails. men are brought closely together and thus the spirit of leadership is fostered and encouraged.
 'ln the second place the small col leee brings every one together; it is really like Q small family. All inter- ests are common interests and all work for the common good and the spirit of loyalty and responsibility is highly developed
 Character is caught, not taught, and in the smaller college where the close personal touch in instruction and all other things exists, characters may be and are developed.
 That this is true is shown by the men who have achieved leadership in the nations affairs and life. By far the majority of these leaders of thought and affairs have come from the smaller colleges of the nation. The usefulness of the small college is very, very apparent and in works and spirit the small college, at least, does more than hold it's own"
 Dr. Reynolds is very much inter ested in journalism and after his ad dress last night he expressed the in tention of visiting the Gazette office sometime in the near future to see how runs are covered" by reporters, Ihcopy" is read on the desks and how news is gathered, handled, turned in to black type and then set forth upon clean white paper for all the world, shat cares, to read

MUNN'S CLOTHING WAS
 BURNED BEFORE TRIAL

On last Saturday the clothing worn by Wesley Mum at the time he was said to have been shot to death by J. c. Whitley, on the morning of Jan uary 2, last, and which should have been taken care of by the sheriff, was burned by H. R. Whyte
 MT. Whyte, in his statement to a reporter of the Advocate, claims he did not know the contents of the bun dle he destroyed, believing he was de- stroying a bundle of clothing that had belonged to Belle Delaney, a woman that was discharged by the grand jury at the March term of cir cult court and who had been confined in the county jail on murder charge.
 The bundle had been left in the building formerly used as court room by the county and which is now occupied by Mr. Whyte as law of flee MT Whyte says he notified the sheriff of the bundle that had been left behind, and after giving him am- pie time to remove it, which he failed to do, he (Whyte) burned it up,

For the first time in it's history the enrolment of the State Normal School today reached 300. This ex- ceeds the enrolment of any previous session by 20, and several more stu dents are expected to enter during the remainder of the session.
 Three hundred was the mark set by President Doyne at the opening of the present session, and his .predic-, tion, which has now materialzed. bids fair to be considerably exceeded.

British Expedition to Tibet Reports
Curious Atmospheric Effect.

The perils Of mission into q hostile
country are described in communica
ton to the National Geographic socie
ty Mt Washington by Sir Francis
Younghusband, who headed the British
mission to Lassa. Tibet. Sir Francis
is now paying his first visit to Ameri
ca after having spent more than TWEEN
ty years on the frontier and in India.
1t was suspected that secret nego
tiations were being carried on between
the Tibetans and Russia which would
be detrimental to England, with her
vast interests in India. Therefore II
was decided to send a party to the
sacred city Of Lnssa itself. The escort,
Of Sir Francis at the start-200-was
swelled to 1920 native Indian and sou
British troops.
The hardships Of the winter trip over
the Himalayas. fruitless negotiations
with the Tibetan military leaders and
priests and two months siege endured
by Sir Francis and 800 of his men
while surrounded by 10000 Tibetans
In small Enclosure on high plateau
are described. together with the final
signing Of the treaty In the palace Of
the dalai lama in the Forbidden City
and the peaceful journey back to India.
Sir Francis tells of newspaper com.
ments as to the dignity and bravery
Of the Tibetan troops. who. when fore.
ed to retreat, moved at the rate of but
two miles an hour. 1T was not brav-
cry or dignity so much as altitude"
he says. Later we had occasions to
retreat for short distances ourselves
and, although extremely DESTROYS of
making good time. found IL impossible
to run or walk faster than two miles
an hour In addition, owing to the
rarity Of the mountain atmosphere,
shells from the guns of our mountain
battery travelled about twice the dis
lance on the same charge Of powder
as they would have done at sea level.
Bullets from the rifles behaved the
same way. and we were compelled to
revise completely our system of sight
ing our firearms"
The people of Tibet believe the soul
of the dalai lama never dies. Upon
his death 1t passes to the body Of a
babe born as near as possible to the
time Of the dissolution. The new lama
comes into his full rights on his eight
eenth birthday. t,,rt

EMOTIONS OF ANGER.
Give Them a Little Play Rather Than
Bottle Them Up Tightly.

There are few universal habits in
the human race which have strange
primitive origins, and there are some
which are universal because they have
a physiological stimulus, and one of
these latter is in the habit that little
child often has Of stamping its feet
when angry. Exactly the same thing
brings down his fist on the table. In
both cases 1t is due to lack of nervous
control.
The nervous system is a unit. and
most of the emotions of anger come
from sudden thwarting of a calculat-
about to sit down on q chair and q
mischievous urchin yanks the chair
away just as we have let the muscles
of the thighs relax the anger excited
Is out of all proportion to the actual
bruises that have resulted. If a child
Immediately angry unless he has been
taught to control himself. The desire
for the jam, for example, has set in
motion a nerve plan, and when this Is
suddenly stopped there is a flow of
nervous energy which has to spend
itself in some way. In the case Of the
child. he usually works this Off by
stamping his feet and crying. In the
case Of the man, he usually goes
through exactly the same processes by
humping the table and swearing In
the case Of hysterical woman. she
beats upon the floor with her heels and
screams. It is all the same thing.
Strange as 1t may seem, moreover.
the outflow Of emotion is far better
Cor an angry person than 1t Is to bottle
It up. Emotion Is going to express
Itself In action somewhere, and If the
muscles are kept still the brain cells
will be exhausted instead Emotional
force has got to go somewhere. It can't
just stop and disappear. Too great
suppression of the emotions leads to
gradual atrophy Of them, and when
the emotions begin to die out the per-
son himself or herself Is Of compare
lively little use to the world. It is for
this reason that nothing should ever
be done to "break" a child's temper.
