CONTRACTOR OFFERS
 TO TAKE $15,000
Of S40,000 Stock Required To Build Bridge Over White
 River.

Sherman, Texas, March ?, 1914 Mir. s. Heinemann,
 ! Newport, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 Referring to our recent con- versation with respect to bridg- ing the White river at your town, please be advised that we do not believe it practical to put in a draw or lift bridge at that point for the purpose of high way traffic on a toll basis. It will not only be very risky in high water of that depth, but very expensive to maintain, as the piers will have to be provid- ed with protection and bumpers for boats, etc.
 We are, however, prepared to accept your proposition of build- ing a suspension bridge with a pier on each bank with a clear ance of 40 feet above high water or 72 feet above low water. This clearance would accommodate any steamer you have on that river. It. could be erected at any stage of the river, and would give you much more satisfaction than any other structure.
 The cables would be fabricat- ed at, shops and piers of concrete or. steel. The approaches would be something like 1000 feet long and have an easy rise of 5 feet, in 100. It would make a very picturesque and servicea- ble structure with capacity com mensurate with modern traffic. It would leave the channel of the river clear and unobstructed. think the approaches on the town side would cross above the Iron Mountain railroad and pro- vide a clearance for trains. With this arrangement we could take $15,O00 stock on a ba- sis of $4O,000 total cost and could begin work as soon as a. greement in writing could be made.
 If this proposition appeals to you and your committee please advise, and we will prepare plans for your endorsement and begin on details.
 We enclose a pencil sketch that will give you an idea of the

The Shoe Pinches.

Persistent reports emanate from
Washington that Department of Com
MERGE is making an investigation wi
the idea of recommending to President
Wilson that duty OF one cent a pound
b. levied on sugar imported into
the United States. The Underwood
Simons Tariff makers threw away
$40, 100000 a year in revenue and gave
that much to the Sugar Trust by
adopting the free sugar plan, with no
apprec able benefit TO the consum-
err and with much damage resulting
to Southern cane and Western beet
sugar planters.

Records show that of late women
have been as active in the murder
business as men. One cause for this
is the d.slnclinaton on the part If
men to punish women, whatever
crime they may have committed.
The law does NO. distinguish be-
tween man and woman. When muir
der is committed the law is violated,
IL makes no difference who commits
the crime; if guilt Is proven, they
should be made to suffer.
In these days, when crime is rum
