Arkansas Is Dry
 After Jan. 1, 1916.

By a vote of 70 to l3 in the House of Representatives Satur- day passed the Newberry bill, providing for statewide prohibit tion after Jan. 1, 1916. This bill originated in the House and was passed on to the Senate last week. The origional bill as passed by the House would have made the state dry" at once, but when the bill came up in the Senate an objection was raised to this clause and it was amend ed to read Jan. 1, 1916 and sent back to the House for approval. Franklin county's representa- tives voted: King, for the bill and Nixon, against it.
 Pine Bluff will be dry the rest of the year, as under the new bill no new license can be issued Thru a few minutes de- lay between the time the House approved the bill and the time Governor Hays signed it the Lit tie Rock liquor men managed to get fifty-three license which will enable them to sell until Jan. l, 1 1916.
 Arkansas is the sixteenth state with a statewide production bill.

As Pure Air Gauge.

If a housewife really wants health full house she ought to keep growing plants in her rooms-not for the pleas ure of them only. but because they form very excellent and practical gauge of the moisture and heat of the house. The reason that most plants will not thrive in the ordinary house is that the ordinary house is full of overloaded bad air. This air Is just as bad for the family as for the Bos- ton fern, but as children are tougher than ferns the effect is not noticed as far as they are concerned. No wise mother, however, ought to keep her children in rooms where plants cannot grow.--Harper' Bazaar.

 Politics in this country does not depend any longer upon the regular members of either party. There are not enough regular Republicans in this country to take and hold national power, and must immediately add that there are not enough regular Democrats, either. This coun- try is guided and it's policy is determined by the independent voters.
 What seems perfectly evident to me is this. that if you made a rough reckoning you would have to admit that only about one-third of the Republican Party is progressive; and you would also have to admit that about two-thirds of the Dem ocratic Pacty is progressive.
 The Republicans have not had a new idea in thirty years; they have not known how to dc any thing except sit on the lid.
 This country is bursting its jacket, and they (the Republi- cans) are seeing to it that the jacket is not only kept tight, but is rivited with steel.
 There is one thing that l have a great enthusiasm about, might almost say a reckless en- thusiasm, and that is human liberty.
