about some kind Of peace confer
ence that will terminate the phys'-
cal struggle by the end OF the year
| hope so at least. But il 1t is to
be fought out by physical force, 1t
is hard to predict when the eud will
be, not soon however. But whether
the war ends or not the u. s. will
be the gamer as the moving nations
will need all our surplus supplies
and when IT IL over IL will be the
opportunity for the U. s. A. aud
we certainly should be on the alert
for II.
Well il is foregone conclusion
that Arkansas will be called on
next year TO vote on two very vital
subjects yiz., the primary election
bill defeated in the last legislature.
| do not know the provisions Of the
bill but have confidence In the
men that were selected by the state
convention to believe they did their
best to so frame il that there could
never occur such 4 muddle and COM
plicstions as occurred last year and
certainly every good and law abid-
ing citizen should want such laws
as will insure the rights of all and
forever put stop to machine poli-
tics. II we need anything we need
clean pure politics. But the most
important question that will or can
come before the people TO decide is
the Initiative or Referendum of the
state wide prohibition act passed by
the last legislature. Now let all
good honest thinking people aud
all should belong to that class, con.
slider what il means TO recognize
and tolerate the whiskey traffic.
Who does il help? No one except
the dealer. Who does 1t injure?
All of mankind and as have al
ready discussed the question in a
previous article, will refrain from
discussing it now but warn all peo.
pie not to allow themselves deluded
into the idea of voting for the res.
toration of the traffic by the shrewd
schemery aud money, Dy the vam-
pires OF the treacherous business
and characters that would sink all
mankind to crafty their selfish de-
sire for greed and gam at the cost
of multiplied millions of souls. o!
whv will sensible people even enter
tain thought Of lending helping
hand to curse the world is more than
| can understand. So If the fight
begins to warm up 1 may have some
thing to say later. only want TO
sound the note Of warning now
and let no one go to sleep on the
job.
Well, when you realize that am
postmaster here and at the delivery
window trying to write this beauti'
full Saturday evening and wait on
the patrons of the Office and answer
all kinds Of questions that naturally
go with a postofiice then you will
not wonder at this rambling and
scattering eplstle, possibly ! can do
better next time, especially If l
champion the cause of woman suf-
frage. Now brothers do not get
alarmed and fall over yourselves |
haven't said word yet and if our
sex would have their moral cour.
age and IN the greatness of their
might do the proper thing in all
things there would be no necessity
for it. But do you and will you
do it? Alas, no! 1t Is SAID that ne
cessity is the mother of invention,
hence the failure on our part to cor
rect the great evils that are within
our reach, calls forth our mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters that
they may be able to correct the great
evils that stalk abroad in our beau
tiful land to the ruin of society,
humanity and christianity and do
not be deceived, they will do it
when they get the chance and its
