WOMAN NAMED ON
 WAGE COMMISSION WIDE INTEREST IN LAW
LITTLE ROCK STORE MAY RE PLACE 62 GIRL EMPLOYES
 WITH BOYS.

Little Rock, April 16.-Labor Com missioner J. c. Clary has announced the appointment of Miss Eva Reich ardt as member of the minimum wage commission as provided by act of the last legislature. The governor is required to appoint a woman, and these two, with the labor commission CT, will constitute the commission.
 There is a great deal of interest here an dthroughout the state over the enforcement of this law One Little Rock department store employs 62 girls that will be affected by the law, and it is said they will be dis, charged and boys put in their places, at the same wage now paid the girls.
 Commissioner Clary calls attention to the fact that section 10 of the act gives the commission a wide discre- tion, and that in special cases after a public hearing, may issue an order establishing minimum wage rate that in their judgment is reasonable. y This will prevent injustice being done employees or employers in exceptional cases.

BAPTIST REVIVAL 10 BEGIN MONDAY DIR. 1. R. SCARBOROUGH NOTED TEXAS DIVINE, WILL CONDUCT SERIES OF MEET
 INGS HERE.

: pr. L. R. Scarborough of Fort Worth. Tex, president of the South western Baptist Theological Semina- ry, will conduct a revival meeting at the First Baptist church in this city beginning next Sunday. Rev. Otto Wilmington, pastor of the church, more than year ago secured the promise of Dr. Scarborough to con duet a meeting here, his services at that being engaged for over year in advance.
 Dr. Scarborough is a man widely known and greatly loved by the Bap- lists of Arkansas and Texas and it is said that he has greater success in his meetings than any other evange- list in the southern Baptist ministry He is a graduate of Baylor Univer- sity of Texas and also of Yale Uni versity. For the past several years ne has occupied the chair of evange- lism in Southwestern Seminary and was only a few months ago chosen as
 it's president.
 The services will be held twice each day, at 10 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Special music for the revival will be conducted by Director w. G. Uter- moehlen of the Central College con- servatory.
 Tt gives me great pleasure to an nounce the coming of Dr. Scar borough said Pastor Wilmington to- day. Believing that Conway is en- titled to the very best in our Bap- tist ranks, l invite the public to hear him during the meeting. He is a school man, a high-toned gentleman and I am sure all denominations will feel free to return after they have once heard him. The pastor extends a cordial invitation to one and all to attend the services. You are wei come and we shall be glad to have you"

CLARK DRUNK AT
 TEACHERS MEETING
CHURCH PAPERS ; CHARGE
SPEAKERS CONDITION WAS DISGUSTING, WESTERN
 METHODIST SAYS.

Ever since the meeting of the State Teachers Association at Little Rock 1t has been openly talked among those who attended that Speaker Champ Clark was undeniably intoxi- cated when he delivered his address before the association, but until the appearance of the Western Methodist and the Baptist Advance this week, nothing had been published concern ing the unfortunate circumstance. Both of these papers, however, print editorials severely condemning the condition of the speaker. The West ern Methodist $ editorial is repro duced below:
 When it was announced that Hon. Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives, the second office in influence in our federal government. was to address the Arkansas State Teachers Association last week. the
 teachers felt honored. They expected a great and inspiring address from a great man. When he was introduced
 they gave him an ovation His repu
 tation did not require him to be pro
 found, but his position and standing before the nation awakened expecta-
 ton of vigor and brillancy. Due
 modesty would have toned down his oombastlc announcement the night
 before, and frequent references to self in the address; but these things might be excused Il ne had measured up to the standard While there Tere occasional keen wit, much sound | suggestion, and some practical illus
 tratlons, the address for such an oc-
 easion lacked finish. originality. force and real vision. Hardly a nearer that
 lad not gone further I'll thinking. Still the disappointment over the
 quality of the address might not have found expression if the conviction
 had not forced itself on many in the
 audience that they Were listening to
 man who was not himself-that al cohol had numbed his brain and i'm
 paired his physical powers. Pity, dis gust, shame, indignation, were the
 feelings of many of his hearers and good citizens of Little Rock. Think of the speaker of the national house of representatives, who had narrowly
 escaped the presidency standing be-
 fore the teachers of Arkansas in such condition that the men near him sat tense and ready to spring to his side If he should reel from the platform. !. In his speech he declared that a man who today should disgrace himself as Aaron Burr had done, could not hold his office Was he unconsciously prophesying? In the duel between his two natures Champ Clark has killed his better self. Is he worthy of con fidence in this critical hour? When the English chancellor declares that England is fighting Germany and Austria and drink, and the greatest of these is drink, are we to be led by man who has tamely surrendered to this enemy of the human race? As a Democrat the editor has been proud of the achievements of the speaker of the house, but he now feels betrayed. If the nation is to be safe, if the Democratic party is to maintain self-respect, it must banish such a leader. Thou hast been weighed in the balance, and art found wanting

Legal Controversy

Our town has been the scene of a
novel and somewhat exciting legal
controversy the past week which how
ever was not a very fat take for
the legal fraternity. A Moore and w.
H. Colvert having fallen into dispute
about a quantity of brick and the
amount of a note amounting all to-
gether to some $500 which Moore
claimed of Colvert, but which the lat
ter insisted was cut off by a receipt
in full of all claims and demands,
which he had been sharp enough to
get from Moore. The latter, sanguine
of success, offered to allow Colvert to
pick twelve arbitrators to whom they
should submit their matters, and he
would abide by their decision. After
sitting on the case nearly a whole day
the arbitrators reported a finding in
Mr.. Moore's favor, upon all the points
submitted, and being in liberal
frame of mind just at that time, ap-
prised their own fees at SIS each, max
ing total of $50, which they adjudg-
ed against Mr.. Moore the successful
party. Being questioned why they as
sessed them against the successful
party, some of them replied that they
thought they would charge them
against the party who would pay them
the soonest.
