years have tried to correct that

Letters come to me almost every day

not only reliable news but the reason

the reader intelligent or useful. It II
the papers business and privilege to
tell the reader why the man is in the
police court and why the girl went
wrong, without at the same time Civ

sin. In the featuring Of crime and
wrongdoing let me suggest Q study OF
the way the Bible does It Whoever

ters In the right proportion To ID
mat requ1le s all the wisdom and dis
elimination OF the best minds. A pa
per printed with that kind of plan !
Is not top heavy with scandal or
crime or sport or society or ANYTHING.
But such paper must have some one
constantly defining news and the
readers needs. Because a thing has
happened is no reason why it must
be printed and read. Some of the
best things that ever happened in this
world have never got into print and
what is more they will never be
known until the recording angel be-
gins to read. There is a good deal Of
satisfaction in the thought that he
mas Il use the word reverently) a
scoop on every newspaper ever is
sued.
The paper I like most to read has
personality in it. The editors ought to
sign their names to their writings. If
they had to, 1T would make them more
careful. Every day some big daily
crtticizes and even abuses public men.
we all despise anonymous letters
What protection does the public have
from irresponsible newspaper reporters
and writer's who garble facts, tistort
all without authorship that can be
traced.
Il know am hopelessly in a minor
ity in this opinion. but venture to, ex-
press it because I would like to read
a paper that signed not only its edi-
torial but it's news pages. Almost the
only man who signs his stuff in the big
daily Is the baseball man. / have often
wanted to know him. He must be the
bravest man on the staff.
| A Papers Purpose.
| my favorite newspaper is printed
with one great purpose always in view;
namely, to help make a better and
happier world. The editor is under the
same moral obligation to live for this
purpose Of the minister or philanthro-
pist. It is the biggest business OF ev-
cry one to better mankind The man
is Sinking the first obligation of hu-
manity.
Every paper in the United States,
big and little, ought to come right out
and work for the national prohibition
Of the liquor business. If all the pa
pers In New York, Boston, Chicago,
Denver, San Francisco and every other
city and town would get under this
thing the way they ought to, there
would not be a saloon or brewery left
in this country in five years. And they
ought to do it. They owe it to human
ity. It is not fair to keep silent or be
hostile on this question 1t takes all
the big forces of civilization to civilfze.
We need church and school and state
and home and press to work with a
common purpose to make a better
world. The press is a tremendous force
for lettering the world and 1t is under
obligation to do it.
II believe 1t will. The standards of
. the papers are growing more and more
ethical. One of these days we shall
i. have the great American daily with
this one great purpose You gentlemen
will help to make it. Put me down as
? a subscriber and a constant reader.

PROMOTERS SECURE INTERURBAN FUNDS
10 BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
PASSAGE OF LITTLE ROCK FRANCHISE ASSURES ROAD
 TO PINE BLUFF.

Little Rock, Jan. 7.-The promoters of the Pine Bluff interurban, for Which the Little Rock city council granted franchise Monday night announce that they have closed all preliminary arrangements for the necessary funds through St. Louis house, and that it is their purpose to begin active construction work at once. The city council has been work ing for several months on the fran chise, and at last after two had been vetoed by Mayor Taylor, has con- cluded contract that it is believed will be equitable for all parties con- cerned. The terms are liberal for the companies, and the rights of the pub- lie are protected.
 The work of selling the $2OO 900 of preferred stock of the Hot Springs irterurban is progressing, and the promoters are confident they will be able to dispose of it. Several thous- and prospectuses and blank stock subscriptions have been sent out, and returns are coming in from these. There are large, active committees in Little Rock, Hot Springs, and the state at large for the sale of this stock. The secretary of the subscrip- tion committee, L. Grant, who has given the greater part of his time for the last six years to this promotion enterprise, writes in his letter to the public:
 "It requires no argument on our part to convince every citizen as to the value of the proposed interurban to the city of Little Rock and to the state as well, and we ask you to CO., operate with, and join us in the under taking to build this road, by subscrib- ing Iiberally for the cumulative pre- ferred stock, which our investigation justifies us in believing this will prove a profitable investment"

l.. HartOn, directors of the Conway Compress Company, enjoining them from issuing or disposing of or voting certain shares of stock of the com press company, which James alleges were wrongfully issued by the defend ants to themselves. MT. James alleged that the defendants had refused to sl- low him to subscribe for his pro rata share of the additional stock issue. as- serting that he was entitled to share in the new issue of stock in propor- tion to his holdings in the original capital. The case will probably be finally tried at the March term of the chancery court. The defendants, in their answer, denied that they had discriminated unjustly against MT. James, and alleged that they were full ly authorized to make the allotment of the stock as made by them. The hearing at Morrilton was attended by J. w. James, D. o. H arton, G. L. Banner and J. Frank Jones. James was represented by R. w. Robins and the defendants were represented by J. C. Clark.
