relative likelihood of damage or in
jury to be encountered in the promi-
nent athletic pastimes. This is not
unlike the condition in industrial oc-
equations, for many of which the in
cdence of accident and harm is
known. 1t the statistics of accidents
in athletics, and the personal harm
known to result all too often, could
be gathered in some way for purposes
of public contrast, the physician and
physical culture teacher could advise
more intelligently regarding the de
STABILITY of participation. We believe
however says The Journal of the
American Medical Association, that
the greatest advantage of this sugges-
ton would lie in the reforms which
the facts thus elected would inevitab-
ly promote. A few wel-attested data
regarding the undoubted dangers of
crew races, of football and some 9TH
er much-vaunted sports might serve
to direct public attention to the abu-
ses of athletics. The promoters are
then usually quick to respond.

THE NEW COUNCIL

A biennial city election has just
been held. A new council has been
elected. There was no special issue
on which the new council has been
elected. In fact with the exception of
the Office of City marshall there was
no opposition in the city election and
with that exception it passed off very
quietly and there was nothing to
cause excitement of special interest.
Notwithstanding this condition,
there is a great deal of interest both
to the officers elected and the people
generally when any new officer or set
of new officers take the oath of office.
Prescott has her problems just as a
larger city on county or State has its
problem. We need better sanitary
laws and regulations.
We need cleanup days. Some at
tention ought to be paid to the gen
eral appearance of public places. Ac-
commodations for farmers and 'visi-
tors from the country should not be
overlooked.
Methods for the purpose of adver-
Using the town to newcomers and
anything that will tend to draw the
business men of the town closer toge-
Their, is necessary and in sense i'm
perative if we are to make the pro-
gress that we should and be numbered
among the live towns of the State.
A town will not just run itself, with
no attention to these important mat
tiers. Each new year and each new
administration brings new response
bilities and opens up new opportuni-
ties for development. We hope the
present council will not overlook the
Importance of their respective posi-
tons.

THE GOING LAW

1t is a distinct victory for tenn
perance in Arkansas that the Su-
preme Court has upheld the Going
Law, passed by the last Legislature
1t is believed by a great many that
this bill was introduced as a measure
to force the whisky interest to put up
money to prevent its passage. How
ever that may be, the bill passed and
became law. 1t is in force in a large
part of the State 1t would be we'll
for people generally to read the full
opinion of the Supreme Court and
know what this tribunal thinks of the
law as applied to the regulation of
the liquor traffic and the powers of

coded to be the leading literary daily

paper in the country that prints book

the whole range of current literature as
if it believed books were actu lily as in
teresting to it's readers as, say, the pork
market or the latest murder.

ment, under the editorship of Edwin L.

ments are quoted all over the untry,

RESISTANCE TO DISEASE

Why is it that one pe-son can work all
day standing in cold water, slush and
snow with no harmful effect, while an
other with less exposure contracts colds,
pneumonia, rheumatism, sciatica or
something equally distressing and dan
gerous?
Because in the first case the body was
in such perfect balance that there was
resistance" to disease. In the second
there was lack of tone that invited Ill
health.
Keep your system toned up with DR..

He shook his head, little sadly,
perhaps. There were people who
could teach her these arts, but not he.
He had neither the ability, the cour-
age, nor the patience.

she loudly insisted her cheek flushing
and her eye showing an angry spark.
ct Will not be ignorant always; I will
not. l will not" And turning, she
fed from his side.
The possibly speedy appearance on
the scene of GeOrgian's. so-called
brother did not detract from his diff
Guilty. He felt helpless without the
support of Mr. Harper's presence. At
two o'clock occurred the event OF
which he had been forewarned. A
carriage drove up to the hotel and
from it stepped two travellers; one of
them a stranger, the other the man
with the twisted jaw Mr.. Ransom adj
vanced to meet the latter. He was
anxious to listen to his FIRST inquiries
and, if possible, be the person to an,
sWer them.
He was successful in this. Mr..
Hazen no sooner saw him than he ac-
costed him without ceremony.
what is this l hear and read about
Georgian and her so-called twin?' he
cried. Nothing that can believe, l
want you to know. Georgian may
have drowned herself. That is credi-
bic enough. But that the girl we read
about in the papers and whom she evil
IDENTIFY induced to come to this place
with her should be the dead girl called
Anitra-why, that is all bosh-a tale
to deceive the public, and possibly
you, but not one to deceive me. The
coincidence is much too improbable"
"'There are stranger things in heav-
en- and earth quoted Ransom; but
Hazen was already in conversation
with the group of hotel idlers who
had crowded up at sound Of his loud
voice.
After a careful look which had tax

preached one young fellow, covering
the lower part of his face as he did
so.

SPEAKER HULL
To Be CANDIDATE

Speaker Merlin Hull of Back River
Falls was in Madison Friday and
stated that be would be a candidate
for the Republic nomin alton for Gov
ernor att the September primaries.
Mr.. Hull said he will issue statements
embracing his views on appropriation,
taxes, schools and other public Ques-
tlons. Not topic Of interest to the
people of the state will be omit ted
from his curriculu OF discussion, he
declared. Speaker Hull has been a
mem Der of the legislature for three
terms, and at the last session was CD o
sen its presiding officer. He has al
ways been allied with the progressive
element, but as an independent factor
with views of his own on public ques-
tons which he has nos hesitated to
discuss.
Speaker Hull answered inquiries
while in Madison on his views res
pecting taxation, q subject now en-
crossing public interest.
"The only way to reduce state taxa.
ton Is to reduce the appropriations"
| he said. 81 have had definite ideas
as to how state appropriations could
have been made much lower without
damage or injury to any state institu-
ton or department. In the three
sessions of the Legislature of which |
have been member, have voiced my
protest against certain apprc pTiation
bills and also the general system I'M
der which appropriations ere made.
Appropriations too frequently have
been increased without taking into
consideration the ordinary revenues of
the state. | am positive that reduc-
ton can be made in many ways and l
shall at an early date outline my views
very fully so that the people can IN :
derstand my position. Among other
things, have urged and voted for
consolidation of some of the minor
state departments. I believe it is
possible thus TO promote economy
without loss Of eff cheney.
"The need of bebter systems OF &C"
counting has also been recognized, and
should be adopted, but no relief from
tax ation can come from mere change
in methods of bookkeeping. Reduce
the appropriations to the proper level
and the question Of state taxation will
be taken care of. Instead of 8ppro-
priating Iavishly and then taxing with
equal liberality, the appropriation
should be made according to the nor
NAL amount of revenue, and every de-
partment and institution should have
just proportion in the general scheme
of economy"

 The band music is always greatly appreciated, and the dance Friday will be one of the best attended which have occurred this spring.
 Music will be furnished by the band and the proceeds will go toward the payment of the band for Sunday even ing services.
 An additional feature of interest will be the fact that Bion F.

Every body appreciates the efforts of the music committee in securing the band concerts and will be glad to dance in payment for those restful, pleasant Sunday evenings at the park.
