that It should come so suddenly, I'M.
doubtedly was a surprise. The right
of a popular vote was not longer to

little organization has been done from

The Mortgage and What It Is.

The mortgage is a self-support ing instution. It always holds it's own. It calls for just as many dollars when things are dear as when they are cheap. It is not affected by the drouth or by hard times. It is not drownded out by the heavy rains. Late springs and early frost never trouble it, potato bugs do not disturb it. It grows nights, Sun days, rainy days and holidays. It brings a sure crop every year, and sometimes twice year. It does not have to wait for the market to advance. 1t is not subject to speculation of the bulls and bears on the board of trade. Strikes don't bother it. It is a load that gals and frets and chafes. It a burden but few can shake off. It is with him morning, noon and night. Itgets under his pillow when he sleeps. It rides upon his shoulders dur ing the day.
 It consumes his products. It selects the finest horses and the fattest steers of the farmer.
 It lives upon the finest fruit Of the season. It stalks in the dairy and takes the choicest and nice butter. It tshares children's beds and robs them entirely of their clothes. It stoops the toiler's back with it's remorselesS bur- den of care. It hardens the hands, benumbs the intellect, prematnrely whitens his locks and often times sends bim and his aged wife over the hill to the poor house or to an early grave. It is the memorable and exacting taskmaster. It's whip is a men, ance to liberty, a intolerance to progress and a curse to the world. It never dies of it's own accord; it lives even after you are dead. A mortgage is the death grip on mans throat, and will in time choke it's slave to death, or at all events shorten his life by care. -EX.

Splendid Workmen

Bill" Ligon and Emery Smith have this week remodeled the interior of the Independent office and to say that they did nice job of it is putting it mildly. These contractors are in big de- mand for during the time they were at work in this office three different men were after them to do work and they seem to have plenty to do. The Independent will che.rfully recomend them to any one in need of first class and up-t to date carpenters and builders.

Judge Kavanausa Dead.

Last Sunday afternoon death claimed Judge W. M. Kavanaugh, one of the states leading busi- ness men, at his home in Little Rock. He was stricken with ap- poplexy and was sick only an hour. MT. Kavanaugh was at the head of many solid instutoins and had been active in the public affairs of Little Rock and the state of Arkansas, and he will be missed from the roll call of the progressive in our land. His un- timely death has caused a vacan- cy that will indeed be hard to fill.
 Governor Hays expressed the sorrow felt throughout the state by ordering all state offices closed from 12 te 6 o'clock We'd nesday afternoon when the re- mains were laid to rest in the Oakland Cemetery. Several Fra ternal lodges and both houses of the legislature attended the fun. eral in a body. Every wheel of the Little Rock street car system of which Mr. Kavanaugh was President. stopped for five minu- teS.
 Judge Kavanaugh was cut down by the grim reaper just in the prime of a useful career and that his death was a great loss to Arkansas was evidenced by the many, many messages of re gret received from not only all points of this state but from all oyer the United States as well.

Boost Your Neighbor.

Here's little rule which will help you and help your neighbor: in speaking about anybody put the good word last. Don't say "Neighbor Jones is public spirit ed I'll admit, but he is mighty high-tempered." Say ''Neighbor Jones is rather high.tempered of course, but he is a man who is helping the neighbors 1or- ward" Don't say "Tom Brown is a hard working fellow and good hearted, 1 reckon, but he has been mighty low down, wild drinking" Instead say Tom Brown got pretty low once, wild and drinking but now he's a hard working, good hearted citi- gen." In other words, put the emphasis on the good traits rath CT than the bad one.
 Or better still when you hear somebody's name mentioned and it's on the tip of yonr tongue to refer to some blunder or fall ing you know about. just try choking it down few times, leaving it unsaid, and see if you don't feel better inside. Then next time go little luther and try speaking of some good deed he has done instead of menton- ing the time he made a mistake (even though you yourself have never made any mistakes, and see if you don't feel hahpier still.
 If the farmers in any neigh hood will begin to boost one another's worthy deeds. they will soon find themselves living in better neighborhood with. out having to move from where they are!-Progressive Farmer.

Did you ever look at his monthly report? He is supposed to have been at school 20 days in each month. The book will show all absences.
 There are two other things be, sides this which the books will show, namely, depor tment and grades in each particular study.
 Do you balance accounts with your child at the end of the month? Won't you try it? If he has a poor record should you not know the reason? On the other hand, don't you believe he would appreciate a word of praise for a good record? Finally, are you sure that you see the report each month?
 One last word. You are doubt less aware of the fact that tele- phone calls and joy rides and mid week parties are not con- ducive to home study. Can't you arrange to have these things eleminated along with street loafing and picture show S? I am a believer in old fashioned home study, preceded by an hour or two of hard manual lobor with broom Or the saw. 1 don't be. lieve you can educate your child otherwise and make a useful citizen of him.
 Then you indignantly reply, that the child is your own and that you don't see the use in all this hubbub and worry over missing day or two or making a poor grade. We'll, if your child were the only one concerned, perhaps your plea of personal freedom would be thoroughly in accord with the best ethical prin- ciples. But when you reflect that the defection of your child affects the moral of his entire room and that, in turn, of the whole school, do you not recog- nize a duty to the community in holding him to the strict lines of his duty?
 recognize the fact that the tone of this letter is critical, but even justice is sometimes sever ely critical, and the letter is desi- gned to meet critical situation. We must have better attendance in our schools if they are to be an economic, social and entel- Iectual value to the community. They cannot accomplish their great purpose unless the pat rons will cooperate with the fac ulty in eradicating the abuses I have outlined sbove. Will you ex- anime the case of your own child? Will you take note of what he is doing?
 Very respectfully,
 Robt. D. Highfill. Supt. of Schools.

What is Your Child Doing?

sional Man, MT. Farmer: What is your child doing? Have you a pretty good idea, ol are y ou toe much engrossed in your busi ness to take notice of him? Do you turn him over to his mother and say He's yours, now: raise him?" Suppose she has her hands full already; what thenf Did you ever try keeping book with him? If so, how do his as sets and liabilitis stand; you don't know? What about your employees? You know their stand ing, don't you? If you are in business for all there is in it, you most assuredly know. If you don't know, then you are about ready to go into the hands of a receiver-perh9pS.
 Now. these may seem rather impertinent questions, to be ask ed by plain school teacher, but l think that they go to the point. A school is a big business insti- tuition. l keep a pretty accurate set of books and 1 figure profit and loss under the captian "ab- sentees and presents" to the fraction of a per cent, what kind of work your child is doing. Do you? My figures show that your boy or girl, when in his place every day, does good work They also show that, when your boy CT girl is absent three or four times in the run of Month. he does very poor work; that when he is about two or three times a week there is nothing but fail ure ahead for him-even if he be boarding on genius.
 "Oh," you say, but my child can review up before the exami- nations and pass to the next grade" Let us see Every busi- ness in run on the basis of re- ward which is either profit or wages. Two of your clerks come up at the end of the month and ask for their hire. One has been "on the job" every day, the other has been fishing two or three days. Do you reward both eqal- ly? The pass to the next grade is the reward of the school child. Two present themselves for ex- animation, one of whom has been punctual in attendance while the other has been exceedingly lax in that matter. Is it exactly fair to the former to pass the latter thus giving both the same re. ward? That much for the mere question of making the grade.
 In the meantime, what about the habit of missing school which you have permitted your child to build up? Don't you sup pose it will stick to him in his business or professional life? II you figure on his being rectifyed by self-interest you are playing the worst kind of a chance game because there is such thing as losinginte1 est in one's own self
 If you tell me that you need your boy or girl at home. 1 will tell you that his or her time in the school room is worth at least $5 % per day in the future.
 Good chore servants can be had in these times for from fifty cents to $l .O0 per day. Are you robbing your child? But. you say I am too hard on your emerg encies arise wherein you actual ly need him. 1 answer yes-ir casas of poverty, sickness ol death. 1 am disposed to be ever more lenient-for your sake- but 1 must turn away from the consideration of the child's sake
 Again you say, My child is evidently playing truant. Yor should, punish him soundly.' , i Should I? I am receiving an ex cuse with your name signed to it I.nsl r,o,, xp,,;<o tho o ovo,,rnS TIL

To the People
Arkansas

On account of the critical condition which confronts them the railroads of Arkansas de- cided few weeks age to go to the people of the state in series of articles explaining situation which concerns the people of the state more than the railroads. The Senate did not look with favor upon the bill asking that the present maximum two-cent passenger rate law be repealed and that the Railroad Commission be authorized to estab- fish, after careful investigation the rate that should be charged by the railroads, with the pro- viso that the rate would not exceed three cents mile
 It is to be regretted that the Senate could not see it's way clear to authorize the Railroad Commission to regulate passenger rates as they now do the freight rates, and that the railroads did not secure the relief asked for The railroads believe, however, that they have won, because and the railroads will get together on matters of such vital importance to each other
 When a man seeks an office in the gift of the people, he goes out on the platform and outlines the plans ana pOuCleS Wn1cn ne aQVOcaCeS, but the railroads have no speakers, and, therefore went to the people through the newspapers in paid ad- vertisements, openly and above board. In these articles they asked the citizens of the state to write their senators and representatives to give consideration to the railroad problem, and the railroads take this opportunity to thank the peo- pie for their assistance in cause which the rail- roads believe and know is just The response of the citizens. through telegran.s letters and pet- tions asking the members of the legislature to give consideration to the railroads claims was far beyond the expectation of those interested in this great public question.
 The public cannot svads the serious situation that sooner or later must reach every citizen of the state; but in going to the people with their one business man goes to another the railroads have brought much nearer the day when the people and the railroads will work together in harmony through perfect understanding of the problems that confront each other
