Million Reasons why E. G. Mitchell should be Defeated
VS..
A Dozen Good Reasons Why He Should be Elected.

The office of circuit judge carries
greater responsibilities, and CORE
spondingly greater power into a lin.
tied 81 here than any other office in a
republic. To succeed in the highest
and best degree the judge must be
first, honest; second, courageous; 3rd,
Ia good lawyer, 4th, energetic; 5th,
tactful; 9th, good-hearted.
If a Judge be dishonest, weak or ig.
noraut or lacking in energy, public
credit can be ruined and individuals
will suffer in the loss of property and
reputation. Men who sci boys liquor
and then teach them perjury can have
their fines suspended and escape with
the costs in one or two cases and have
the other cases suspended during good
behavior in the absence of law and
contrary to it,
If the Judge deliberately violates
the law, forgets his oath while on the
bench, chaos necessarily follows, A
murderer convicted by a jury can es-
cape with a sentence of 90 or 80 days,
and an assassin may go unwhipped of
the laws. 1t is within the power of
the Judge TO suspend punishment
over a numerous lot of men and there
by force them to become his Political
adherents,
# fines and forfeitures are not col
lected, public credit is destroyed and
confidence in the law is ruined,
Tested by the six measuring tests
mentioned, Il &. Mitchell can and
wall make one Of the very best circuit
Judges the state ever had When he
was scarcely more than boy, the
people elected him judge after he had
promised them to work hard. He kept
faith with them tor eight years. Cir.
cult courts frequently cost from $500
to $4,000 a day sometimes less and
sometimes more, 1t is a fact that
Judge Mitchell has convened court at
3 o'clock in the morning and adjourn
ed at midnight, working eighteen
hours a day for week at time, He
will work that way again If the press
of the business requires 1t, Even
then the public will pay for the court
at the rate Of more than a dollar per
minute If he did not work more
than two hours thu public would pay
at the rate Of more than $40 per min
ute,
There are a few who criucise him
for keeping faith with the people.
They say it wa, hlrd "a the sherilI,,
clerks, juries, lawyers aud even the
cooks All these could aud did inter
change, but there was no one to
change with the judge, Had he not
possessed a wonderful constitution he
could not have done so much work,
No other circuit judge in the history
Of the WORLD ever performed such a
prodigious amount Of work IN the
same length Of time VINO was hurt
by III Court meet, only twice a year
The fact that the record absolutely
shows that fewer cases were appealed
or reversed from his court during the
same period than from any other
Judge in the state shows conclusysly
that his rulings gave satisfaction and
we're wisely made, He cut out friyo'
lous cases, stopped malicious prosccu'
tons, shortened courts and saved 20

Calamity TO State and Blow to the Nation
Would Be Ciarke's Retirement From Senate
(By WEAVER)

Washington, Feb. 1O.-That it
would be nothing short of state
| wide calamity if the voters of Arkan-
sas should fail to return Senator
James p. Clarke to the United States
senate, was the opinion expressed
here today by a prominent Arkansas
Democrat.
'fNever in the history of Arkansas
has there been such a flood Of i'm
migration to the state. Farmers in
other commonwealth are rapidly re-
aliZing the wonderful advantages of
Arkansas soil and Arkansas climate.
Ii eastern Arkansas alone, thousands
upon thousands of acres of rich al
luvial lands can be reclaimed and~be
made to blossom as the rose if con-
gress provides an appropriation for
the construction of levees along the
the almost annual floods that devas-
tate that region. Senator Clarke, as
chairman Of the senate committee on
commerce, is in a most favored posi-
ton to bring about realization OF
the dreams of land owners in eastern
Arkansas, by assisting in securing a
congressional appropriation for .he
control of floods.
g 1t would take new man in the
senate years and years to reach the
eminent position now occupied in that
body by Senator Clarke. Not only is
Senator Clarke in a position to bring
relief to the annual flood sufferers
along the Mississippi, but it is also
the committee, of which he is chair
man, that finally passes upon the I'M
provement of all the rivers within
the state for navigation purposes. BY
the Improvement of the streams OF
Arkansas. millions of dollars can be
saved in a reduction of freight rates
alone, and there would be no further
necessity Of shipping in coal from
Illinois and elsewhere, when the coal
fields in the Fort Smith district are
at their very door, merely awaiting
a lowering of freight rates until

Modern Farming.

| want to outline just what has
been accomplished in one small, ordi-
nary Georgia county by cooperation
They may be recited briefly: A farm
ers' club, which meets every month;
county colt show, which is held an
nually; county truck growers asso-
citation, just organized; tick eradica-
ton in progress, work progressing
well; and farm demonstration agent
coming for the next season. The
county is awakening, the people are
alert, they are farming along modern
lines. Until four years ago 60 bush
els OF corn was unheard of in the
in 1911 two boys grew over
100 bushels per acre; in 1912 three
farmers grew over 100, and in 1913
three again went over 100, the high
est record of the time being I41
bushels and 122 bushels per acre, but
in spite of all this progress, corpora
ton farming is coming in to grow live
stock, to develop large plantations, to
settle newcomers from other sections
Of the country.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

There is probably greater interest in
community development projects in
the cotton belt at present than at
any time for the past half century.
| have received numerous inquiries
asking for detailed information on
some of the projects now being car
RED through successfully. However,
it must be understood that neither |
nor the farm journals can afford to
promiscuously spread detailed infor-
nation of undertakings OF reputable
character so that similar methods
may be pursued by the INSCRIPTIONS
promoter seeking to capitalize farci-
cal affairs at the expense OF an inno-
cent public, writes J. c. McAulitfe OF
Georgia in Southern Farming.
But the thing | want to impress
upon the people themselves, especial
~ the average small landholder, to-
:,ether with the large landlord, is the
TACT that development is coming. The
eyes of the whole civilized world are
turned southwark. Investigation
means that the wonderful resources
will become public and people from
everywhere will come this way.
The lesson, therefore, is plain. De-
velopment is coming in one way or
another-by community cooperation
or by capitalistic corporation. Local
capitalization of farming projects
forms one of the best ways to insure
continued supremacy CT the soil, for
ii opens the way for development In
such a manner as the individuals
working alone could not secure, and
ii is even doubtful if community CO.
cocration, in the ordinary accepted
term, could produce results thai
could be secured by community cor
poration farming. 1t must be remem
bored, however, that community Co
operation preserves the independence
vi the farmer intact, and gives to the
i Willing worker greater returns thar

Much OF New Guinea Unexplored.

New Guinea is one of the few coun.
tries that still present untrodden fields
for the explorer. The difficulties OF
travelling in the interior of this great
island have prompted a German trav-
eler, Lieutenant Graetz, to project the
exploration of the island by means of
an airship. This will enable the ex-
plorers to pass without difficulty over
rivers, mountains and jungles which
would be traversed only with great
toll by ordinary travellers.

Washington, Feb. A bitter at

He urged compulsory incorporation of

Untermyer read copiously from the
