Canal Builders for Repeal.

Recently Col George W. Goethals,
the chief engineer Of the Panama
canal, said he was in favor of the re-
peal CT the provision exempting
American coastwise vessels from the
payment of tolls. It is known to your
correspondent that the other great en-
gineers of the isthmus, the men who
have done the big individual pieces
of work, feel in this matter as Colonel
GoethaIs does. By the backing Of the
chief engineer and the division engi-
neers, President Wilson has gained
something, for congress is likely to
give heed to the opinions Of the canal
builders. The Democrats who are OPP
posed to the repeal may be glad Of
this expert advice, because they can
use it perhaps as an excuse for chang
ing their minds so as to agree with
the administration.
Judging from what has happened in
congress to proposals to subsidize
American ship builders, it seems def
niteIy settled that the American peo-
pie as a whole are opposed to the
granting of out and out subsidies. The
exemption of American coastwise
trading ships from the payment of
Panama canal tolls is looked on in
Washington by a good many officials
as being a disguised subsidy.
Democrats in congress who are in
sympathy with the administrators at
tempt to secure the repeal Of the act
granting free passage to American
coastwise ships say the courage Of
the administration in this matter is
most admirable.

EFFICIENCY NEEDED

Let us place all of our schools
upon an efficient basis and make
it possible for every boy and girl
regardless of wealth to secure
training for efficiency, but in the
special line that he or she prefers.
Every dollar the state spends upon
the education of the industrious,
ambitious boys and girls is an in
yestment that will bring adequate
returns. The state cannot afford
to permit its citizens to be reared
without training nor can it afford
for its best talent to be educated
in other states. That other states
have educated many of our young
people has caused the Southwest
ern states to lose leaders that are
needed at the present time. Farm

PEOPLE WILL VOTE
ON FOUR new LAWS
Four Proposed Laws and Three
Constitutional Amendments Will
be Submitted in September

The time for filing petitions for
the initiation of laws under the
Initiative and Referendum expires
today. Sufficient signatures have
been secured and filed in tn e office
of Secretary of State Hodges at
Little Rock for submitting four
proposed laws to the voters in the
coming September election. Three
constitutional amendments will be
submitted also.
The bills to be submitted by
petition are the miners qualifca-
ton act, the child labor law, the
bank guaranty act, and the pub
lieity act.
OF these bills, the child labor
law will probably meet with the
least opposition, and the bill for
the protection of miners will be
urged strongly by the federation
of labor, while the coal mine own
ers will see that able campaigners
and we'll prepared arguments are
used to defeat the act.
The constitutional amendments
to be voted upon are those for
bond issues for cities, lieutenant
governor, and the placing of the
legislature on a salary.

NEWPORT OFFICER
KILLS FLEEING MAN
Policemen McDougal Uses Gun
With Fatal Effect Upon Prison
er Who Tries to Escape

William Lankston, a white man
about 81 years old, was shot and
killed in Newport last Sunday
morning by W. C. McDougal,
member of the police force of that
city.
McDougal was held for murder
in the first degree by the coroner's
jury who investigated the case
and he is now in Jail at Newport.
Early Sunday morning Lanks-
ton was arrested by Officers Mar
tin and McDougal in a house of i'll.
repute and was taken to Jail. 1t is
reported that Lankston asked
Martin to see Jim Payne about
going on his bond and Martin
went out to find Payne.
The jailer, it seems. had gone to
breakfast and McDougal was I'M
able to get into the Jail to lock up
his prisoner. There was no one
present but the two men and it is
not known what occurred between
them while waiting for the jailer,
but it seems that Lankston decid-
ed to make his getaway and start
ed to run. He emded the officer.
dashed around the corner of the
Jail building and started to run
down the street. McDougal was
close after him and when he got
to the corner, Lankston was not
more than 10 or Is feet down the
street. He drew his revolver and
fired at the fleeing man. The bull
let struck Lankston in the back
between the shoulders, penetrated
the heart and lodged near the left
breast just beneath the skin. Lanks-
ton continued to run after he
was shot and turned into an alley
where he fell at the back of Mont
gomery's barber shop near the
opera house and died in few
minutes.
Lankston's home was at Maud
en-, Mo-, where he has wife and
two children. He formerly lived
near Tuckerman, where his moth
er and several brothers still reside,
and he is said to have been en-
route to Tuckerman to visit his
mother when he got into the
trouble that cost him his life. He
had no weapon of any kind about
his person, but about $27 iii mon
ey was found in his pocket after
he was shot. His remains were
shipped to Tuckerman for burial.

PIONEER MINISTER
GOES TO REWARD
Rev. H. I. Gibson Passes Away at

Rev. H. T. Gibson who had been

tor many years, died at his home
In Wycough township last Satur-
day. after an illness of some time.
Rev. Gibson was 81 years old
last October and was one of the
pioneer citizens of the county. He
was a native of Tennessee but
came to Arkansas with his parents
when only L years old and had
been a citizen of independence
county continuously for 70 years.
After long, busy and useful
life, he died as he had lived-hon-
ored. trusted and loved by all who
knew him. He reared his own
monument while he lived in the
hearts of those who knew him.
His life was completed, if work all
done and we'll done constitutes
completion.
His Christian life was beautiful
from its beginning to its close, and
through all the vicissitudes and
sorrows that he met on the way,
his faith in the Master never wav-
cred, and it is impossible to esti-
mate how much the country owes
to him for his good and great
work in helping to raise a higher
standard of citizenship.

and reverently laid to rest in the

JONES BOYS JAILED
ON FELONY CHARGE
After Sensational Escape Here They
Get Into More Trouble Are Sent
to Reform School--Now in Jail

Sheriff w. A. Fike passed up
the road Sunday taking Claud and
Willie Jones to Batesville where
they were placed in Jail to await
trial on charges of grand larceny
and robbery.
The boys escaped from the Of
fcers here some time ago while
under arrest for burglarizing S.
M. Bogle's store at Tuckerman.
They succeeded In eluding the Of
ficers here, but it seems that they
could not long resist the tempta-
ton to break into the old game.
After leaving here they broke into
and robbed a store at some place
in Faulkner county. They were
captured, tried and convicted.
Having an eye to business, they
misrepresented their ages to the
court and thus escaped a term in
the penitentiary and instead were
sent to the reform school.
One of them had been in the
reform school before and the au-
thorities there have his record.
They discovered that the boys
were wanted in this county on
felony charges so they communi-
Gated with Sheriff Fike and agreed
to turn the boys over to him. The
recent grand jury returned indict-
ments against the boys for grand
larceny and robbery. The grand
larceny charge is said to be for
stealing some hogs and the other
charge is for breaking into and
robbing Tom Browns residence.

REDUCE COST OF LIVING

Products such as canned fruits,
canned vegetables, syrup, jellies,
preserves, pickles, dried fruits,
sweet potatoes, pumpkins, ETC.,
raised on the farm save the cost
of marketing which is sometimes
a great deal more than the cost of
production. That is a sufficient
reason for raising these for the
family table. So long as cost of
marketing is so great we should
reduce it by raising as many of
the food products as possible on
