Miss Annie Campbell, the valedictorian, then read an essay and this was fol- lowed by the class poem, which was reeited by Miss Ida Lee Pyle. Then came the class prophecies by Miss liar riet Rice, after which the class chorus was sung. This chorus was followed fy the class history, given by Miss Matte Campbell Jackson.

conference of democratic senator's

and which vote bound democrats
to the support of the bill, under the
rules.
Worse than that, Senator Stone
of Missouri openly charged on the
senate floor that Senator Clarke
had entered the camp of the repub-
licans in the senate and divuleed
the plans of the administration and
of the democratic senators who
were pledged to the support of the
shipping measure.

Arnold, the traitor to his country,

A BAD ATTACK
OF FALSE PRIDE
Arkansas House OF Repre-
sentatives Thinks Relief A
Bad Advertisement.

A few days ago Representative
Ellis of Fulton county introduced a
resolution in the Arkansas legisla-
ture calling on congress to make an
appropriation for the purchase of
seed for the drouth sufferers Of
North Arkansas. The legislature
voted the resolution down, on the
ground that 1t would place the
state in an unfavorable light before
the country at large and constitute
a bad advertisement for the state to
pass such measure.
Those people in this end of the
state, who In the past few years Of
drouth and consequent crop fall
ures have never worked more faith
fully in their lives and who are the
victims Of circumstances and con-
ditions over which they positively
have no control, will not be particu-
larly grateful to that majority in
the Arkansas house Of representa-
tives which, on the ilimsy pretext
of protecting the good name of the
state, would deny them an oppor-
tunity of assistance from the GOV
ernment of which they are part,
and d government whose policy It
he's always been to assist her own
people in times of calamity and
distress. The Arkansas house of
representatives ought to know that
the worst advertisement In the
world Is the one that speaks a
falsehood

1t is announced from official
headquarters that one of the pas
senger trains operating between
Batesville and Newport will soon be
discontinued. This particular train
leaves Batesville at Ais a. m, and
the railroad company says it is be-
ing operated at loss.
1t is said that almost every citi-
zen of Calico Rock signed a petition
asking the lesislature to increase
the passenger rate on railroads
from two to three cents a mile. 1t
is the contention of all railroads in
the state that they are losing mon
ey, and many petitions asking for
an increase in the passenger rate
are in circulation.

LOCAL LEGISLATION DOMINATES
Out OF First Fifty Laws Enacted By Legislature
One Is General Measure.

Up to last Saturday fifty measures
had been added to the law books Of
the state by the general assembly,
and of this number only one was Of
Importance to the state at large.
That was the bill providing for
statewide prohibition after January
|. The remainder have been local
measures affecting one county prin-
cipally. This statement of course
does not include the proposed con-
stitutional amendment providing for
a bond issue for road purposes sub
mitted to the people by the leeisla-
ture,
No important legislation has yet
been enacted looking to the relief
of the state treasury and making
any provisions for meeting the
states Indebtedness, which amounts
now to something like a million
dollars,
The necessary appropriations for
maintaining the state government
and state institutions have not been
settled upon, and all In all, as usual,
the legislators seem most bent on
the passage of local bills.

The man who makes a million

as much value to the world as the

merely transfers to himself that
which already existed, and takes

THE RAILROADS

Right now the railroads of Ark
ansas are sending up great cry Of
hard times, and a movement is on
throughout the state to have the
general assembly increase the pas
senger rate from two to three cents
a mile. In almost every railroad
town it seems the people are rally
ing nobly to the interests of the
railroads by augmenting h e
demand for more favorable legisla.
ton in their behalf.
The railroads say they are max
ing no money. But, did you ever
think about it, a whole lot of other
people are in exactly the same boat
the railroads claim to occupy at this
time, and have probably been there
lOnger9
Is it true that the railroads can
never make money under existing
rates, or is it true that the railroads,
like other people, are merely suffer-
ing from financial depression that
now exists, which effects everybody?
If the railroads cannot carry pas
sengers for two cents o mile at a
profit the rates ought to be increas-
ed, but if the railroads are now
merely hit hard by close times they
ought to grin and bear it, just like
others have to do.
The railroads should not be made
the victims of unfavorable leeisla-
ton or oppressed simply because
they are corporations and popularity
supposed to make great deal of
money, On the other hand, they
should not be specialized with more
favorable legislation than is given
to men in other business who con-
tribute to the life and stability of
the state Those who operate rail-
roads are entitled to no more than
a square deal, along with everybody
else.
Hard times hit and cripple the
farmer, yet do we see the state
flooded with petitions asking more
favorable legislation for himY Not
by long odds. Hard times hurt the
merchant, the physician, the printer,
the carpenter and those of every
other occupation and profession, yet
these people have to stand to the
rack when 1t contains no fodder and
do not get coin for the asking by
legislation.
1t Is very truthfully claimed that
railroads are great developers of the
country and do great things for the
people, The farmer, the merchant,
the day laborer and others are in
dispensable to the development of
every community, but they must
share alike In the misfortunes of
hard times, So ought the railroads,
II the railroads Of Arkansas are
simply suffering from unfavorable
conditions, which effect all business,
then the legislature would be fool
lsh indeed to come to the relief of
The railroads with legislation.
When prosperity does come the
railroads will Oct their share of the
profits Of good times, If they can.
not stand bit Of hard times with.
out lretting and champins the bits,
that Is no reason why the legislature

A TRAITOR

homeward to roOSt.
Chickens will come home to roost.
There is no more question about
that fact nor no more room TOR
argument about it than that there
are chickens and roosts.
The fact has been observed in
the affairs of life by those who give
attention to things as they happen.
In that desperate skin-game of poll
tics the fact has been observed in
township affairs, in county and state
affairs, and now the country has
been furnished sight of the chick
ems coming home to roost in nation
al affairs.
Just while gone when Senator
James P. Clarke was candidate
for reelection, and just when it
seemed that his defeat was certain
and inevitable, bot h President
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of
State W. j. Bryan came to his res
cue and sent telegrams and letters
into this state endorsing his candi-
dacy and stating positively that
Senator Clarke was a friend of the
administration.
Without this endorsement from
the national administration Senator
James P. Clarke would never have
been reelected in Arkansas. 1t
might be said just here that great
many of the best citizens of the
state do not believe he was re-
elected in fair and honest count
of the ballots, but without the
stamp of approval placed upon his
candidacy by both Wilson and
Bryan the job of preventing his de-
feat through manipulations would
have been so stupendous as to ut
|terly discourage those who might
have had the inclination to under
take it.
1t might be added also that a
\ great many citizens of Arkansas
Iwho keep we'll up with the records
|of the public men of this state be-
lieved then, and believe yet, that
president Wilson and Secretary
bryan went to the limit of their
consciences when they endorsed
Senator Clarke for reelection.
1t is certain the administration
pad a record of Senator Clarke's
votes in the senate.
Certain it is that the administra-
Won knew with what crowd Senator
Clarke stood, as long as there was
an inch left to stand upon, in that
memorable national convention
Which nominated President Wilson

bryan saved the democratic party
