RESOLUTIONS ARE IN Order

Millions Of bells rang ont the odd.

3oiced. Not for one hundred years
has st. Sylvester's Eve been SO well
come. Churches sang the Te Deum..
Chimes pealed. Whistles blew. In
Topeka the rainbow lights on the mu-
nicipal Christmas tree died into dark

was over.
The old year, with his bent back
and his white locks limped into the
past. He met 1914 as he crossed the
border. They're devilishly glad to
zee you,' he growled. And the new
year laughed gleefully.
Is hasn't been such bad year at
that. Everybody isn't as strong for
the unlucky number as the we'll
known wilson's. Somebody suggested
that Muna Pompilius should have
omitted all the thirteens-that the
"thirteen'' years look like records Of
3e5 Fridays. But it isn't 80.
Anyhow the year is over-past-
forgotten. 1t went out last night.

The inveterate smoker resolves to

solves to tell the truth. The lazy man
resolves to work. The man who

to say a cross word. And SO on.
In all probability the smoker il

Calomel May
 Hurt Your Liver

Every time you take this powerful drug you are in danger. Take Dod- sons Liver Tone instead. Calomel is made from mercury, and while mer- cury has many valuable uses, it is a dangerous thing to swallow. If calo- mel stays in the system very long it salivates. Even when it works natural ly, its after effects are often bad.
 Shaffer's Drug Store will sell you Dodson's Liver Tone, which is posi- lively guaranteed to take the place of calomel Liver Tone stimulates the liver just enough to start it working, and does not make you sicker than ever-as calomel often does. You feel good after taking Dodson's and it won't force you to stop eating or work ing after taking it. It is as beneficial for children as for adults.
 Try a large bottle for fifty cents under the guarantee that your money will be given back cheerfully if you re not satisfied. adv

The Green Forest Tribune, as a Re- publican organ, has been bowling many years about graft in state, county and municipal affairs. Yet it opposes the Publicity Bill which will expose and extinguish graft, and opposes it be- cause the Green Forest Tribune has no chance to get any of his advertising.
 The above is one of number of filings contained in the regular batch of ready-made editorials sent out by the hired press agents at Little Rock last week to the newspapers supporting the proposed act No. 8, commonly known as the publicity bill, to be voted on at the September election. It is thought, of course, that the epethet calling the Tribune Republican organ will make Democrats break their necks to sup port the act because it is opposed by somebody tainted with Republicanism. The writer of this squib, A. D. Murlin. manager of the Arkansas office of the Western Newspaper Union, knows as we'll as any man in Arkansas that he is telling one of whole cloth when he says the Tribune is Republican organ. He knows that he has had specific orders in his office ever since he has been manager of that concerns busi- ness not to furnish the Tribunes with political dope" of any kind or character, that the Tribune's policy is one of absolute political independence. The incident merely shows how hard pressed "the publicity committee" is for argument in favor of the news paper graft measure.

SCRATCH ACT NO. 3--IT IS
 DANGEROUS

Under the above heading the Fort Smith Herald devotes considerable space editorially, stating while it at- tributes nothing but proper motives to the Arkansas Press Association, when it indorsed the measure, that the proposed act is fraught with grave danger and should be defeated, that it opens the way for the wasting of $500, ,000 to $400, ,000 annually.
 Discussing the matter further the Herald says:
 Under this amendment it is possible for all sorts of scheming and the in- curing of outrageously extravagant expenditures for public work and the consequent expense of having some newspaper publish an official report to be paid for by the people. Again, it will legalize favoritism and construct political machines in the seventy-fye counties of Arkansas.
 "The Herald believes in publicity, but unwise publicity is more dangerous than no publicity at all. That's what Act No. stands for. An Act that re- quires paid canvassers to secure the necessary signers to have it placed be- fore the voters is one that arouses sus- picion. Who furnished the money tc pay these canvassers, and what plum awaits them through Act No. 3 to re. ward them for their contribution Vote NO, and send this Act back te the legislature for further amendment
 '"The Herald believes that news papers should be paid for every i'm portant official publication that it i: necessary to make, but The Herald al so knows that in each county in Arkan sas there is at least one enterprisinl newspaper that will seek and obtair for publication free of charge-every important official report that the tax payers desire to see, read, and analyze
