JOIN TIE BUf-A-BULL MOVEMENT

Yes. We mean Buy-a Bull Movement, instead of the Buy a Bale Movement that has of late been given so much publicity ov- CT the South. The latter move nent is good one, and will be of some real service; but at most we can expect from it only tenn porary relief, leaving our big pro- 6lem, that of being prepared in the future for such crises as the present. still unsolyed.
 There are necessarily :, ups and downs" in every business-boom times. when there is not a cloud on the horizon. and periods of depression. when there is no market and our products go beg glng at prices less than cost of production. It is the certain knowledge that these rises and falls in our business baromete are to be expected that should lead US to be prepared for them. An essential step in such pre- paration means that for now and all time we must get away from the dangerous practice of placing our reliance on a single crop, us- ing 1t at the expense of soil fertil- ity and in violation of all the the principles of common busi- ness sense. to purchase commod- ties that we would more cheaply grow on our own farms and at the same time naiutain and ev- ,en increase soj r.ility,
 One of the measures of relief that we may well consider is the Buy-a Bull Movement as suggest ed by the Arkansas Livestock Association. As might h ve been foreseen. the farmers of the country who are producing feod and feed crops, instead of suffering because of the Europ- can war. are actually receiving higher prices because of it. Fur Ither. there is abundant evidence to indicate that for many years meant prices will rule high, and that profits await the farmer who can aid in supplying the de- m&nd. Our big job first of all is to supply our home demand for meat milk and butter. Doing this alone. to say nothing of ex- porting such products, will mean an immense advance, and will very largely reduce the cotton acreage.
 Now we don't mean at all to convey the idea that the average cotton grower should break away from cotton at once and embark wholly into livestock production. To do this-we mean for the average cotton farmer would be an almost sure road to disaster.
 Some say that successful livestock
 men are born. not made. How
 ever this may be. we must re ,cognize the truth that to abandon everything with which we ar, familiar and turn to stock ex $:lusively would be equally a dangerous as adhering to an al 4g.Otton prOgram.

l III US SbSdO.
 The reason given by him is the
 reason given by all who oppose capital punishment. ''iust don't
 believe in 1t. :" That kind of a sentiment is beautiful indeed and
 would be alright and serve 9 noble and elevating purpose if the world believed it and so prac- ticed it that there would be no cause for punishment of any sort of crime.
 But that is not the case. Crime is committed and punishable ac- cordance to it's gravity ard this IS as 1t should be. Some offences against society and especially that part of society whose miss ion and business in life is to full fill all the requirements of good citizenship, is punishable by the corporal removal of the offender to state of death, not only as an atonement for the crime com mitted, but as a safeguard against a further recurrence of crime by the criminal.
 The doctrine of capital punish ment has come down from the beginning and so far as we know has received the seal and approv al of all authority of all ages both profane and divine, and to- day stands as the only safeguard of the dutiful and law-abiding citizen against the creature who would take the liberty to kill and destroy.
 The death sentence for crime that not only finds it's place in the fixed principles of social life, but it is the underlying principle of the church and the divine life and we can't just understand man who believes in and preach es the doctrine of spiritual death to the man who violates the div inc law and excuses the man who violates the human law. It seems to us that 1t exceses and exceptions are to be made at all, it would be more humane to give the benefit of doubt to the man who suffers spiritual and ever lasting death instead of giving 1t to the man who commits a heinous crime against society and can rise to a newness of life after he has paid the penalty. As we understand it both of. fences carry the death sentence.
 The human side of this ques- tion is one of sympathy only. Our sympathy for the victim of a crime only lasts until we can transfer it to the man who com mits it. This is not a safe and l reliable guide to go by. The living, the innocence and virtue of our land needs protection and must be protected. Even the death penalty, the most severe of all penalties, fails to give the protection society needs and de- mands.
 Our one great trouble is our lax and indifferent system of en- forcing the law. More men are under sentence of death in Ar kansas today than has been sen- tenced to die in England in the past two years. They enforce the law, we don't and until we do enforce it crime is going to hold sway and engage the at tention of men, even if the churches have to suffer and countless millions plunge into hell dead and damned for all enternity--S Stephens News.

Tin Soldiers

The papers are full of pictures OF
European emperors, kings, princes and
dukes and war lords and generals, who,
it is alleged, will lead the mighty armies
of Europe in the event of general war.
Garish uniforms. gold braid, decorate
medals, fuss and feathers and jewelled
swords adorn these sons of Mars, vet
probably not one of hundred ever heard
the sound of hostile bullet. The wonder
is where they acquired all the useless
tinsel trappings which adorn their mar
tial persons.
After the war has been in progress a
few months, the painful discovery will
likely be made that tin helmet, plumes
and strings of medals do not make a
soldier. More likely the great militia ry
genius and conqueror vii! be some man
now obscure who never wore decora-
ton or arrayed himself like the leader of
a drum corps; some man like General
Grant, who dressed like private soldier
and whose only decoration was a black
cigar.

THOUGHTS OF A REvERIE NATURE
Sitting on the porch while the length
enirg shadows creep across the clear
water of the lake, l take my pencil to
jot down few of the things I see and
think about in this charming retreat.
The scene is quieting and restful, each
branch and each tiny fern, even, is re-
Elected on the glossy surface of the water.
Across on the peninsula a few cattle are
wandering, grazing now and then, on
some tempting shrub. The thick woods
beyond suggest pleasant thoughts of a
cool green, in their quiet depths, during
hot summer afternoon. 1t is indeed re-
freshing after a day of busy scenes to
quietly rest in the gathering twilight, so
in ha twill nh Of h.
able to leave all self imposed crosses,
that we have tried to carry, that bring
heavness of heart. and often blnded eyes
from tears of weeping, and may we walk
in the light of this brightness until the
call comes.

The Cape Cod Canal

Though very small in comparison with
the work at Panama, that which has
brought to completion the canal now
separating Cape Cod from the main
land of Massachusetts is one that must
greatly change the story of navigation.
The canal, which was opened last week
not only greatly shortens the distance
between Boston and New York, and be-
tween Boston and the Southern Atlantic
ports, but it renders the journey far safer
than it could ever be without such a
sheltered passage. The Cape has always
been dangerous point in thick or
stormy weather, and there has been
terrible toll of life in attempting to round
it. Every Cape Cod burial place has me-
MORALS of such tragedies. The heavily
ladened and unweldy coal barges have
suffered especially in the passage. Now
there will be safety.

An Effect of "The Big Stick.

A general war in Europe, while SEEM
ingly uncomfortable after nearly forty
years of peace, would be but the natural
result of the policy which worshippers of
"The Big Stick" would impose upon
America. An individual cannot go swag-
gering about with knives and pistols in
his belt without a temptation to use
them, and nations cannot train great
numbers of their citizens to the military
lie without similar temptation. If
Eur opean nations had gradually brought
their armies down to a reasonable basis
in the past twenty-five years no such
fear as now shadows Europe would be
possible

Something Not to be FORGOTTEN

Let it be remembered that if Germany
permits a great war to devastate Eu-
rope, there are certain forces with which
it must reckon at home, the power of
which no man can estimate. The So
cialist party is opposed to war. 1t rec
ognizes the fact that the laborer is the
one who pays its most terrible charges,
both in money and in blood. Emperor
William may find that there are stronger
forces than artillery within his own do
minion, and forces that he cannot so
easily control.
