Why Arkansas Are Interested Tn the Pros perity of the Railroads of Arkansas.

The enormous loss sustained by business gen erally and by every citizen of Arkansas through the decreased buying power of the railroads is stnkingly illustrated by the great falling off in the past year in the purchases by the railroads of lumber, ties, piling and other forest products
 On the lines of six of the principal roads traversing the State of Arkansas the loading of railroad ties for 1914, compared to the previous year, records a decrease of $500 cars This means that approximately 3,800,0 900 less ties were bought. There are now over 100000 ties as- Sem6led on the right of way of that same railroad in Arkansas or in the hands of the producer which the railroad is unable to purchase and more than another million are reported to be on the right of way of other roads awaiting purchaser About 70 per cent of these are ties that have been hewn by farmers Of course the railroads have use for these ties and would like to purchase them and thereby help the farmers and other owners but through lack of funds they are unable to do so
 statement from one car building company alone shows that under normal conditions they purchase annally 3O000Oy00O feet of lumber for use in the construction of railroad cars costing $9000000, located in the St. Louis district, use company, located in the St. Louis district, 100000000 feet of lumber yearly at cost of $3,- OOO0OO, while they are buying practically no um- Der under present conditions. very large DOT ton of this lumber is purchased in the state of Arkansas and the enormous shrinkage in sumption has almost paralyzed the lumber indus try of this state.
 For the 12 months ending October, 1914, six railroads in the Western district show decrease of 5000 900 in their pay roHs, compared with previous year. One railroad alone shows a de- crease in wages paid for the period mentioned of over one million dollars. Railroads must retrench in every department and at the same time endeav or to retain their organization, hoping and believ- ing that the people will come to their rescue and place them in a position to make betterments and extensions and to enable manufacturers to pro- vide employment for hundreds of thousands of men now out of work and formerly employed in industries which supply the railroads.
 Mir. Citizen of Arkansas, the restoration of the Scent rate will mean much for the prosperity of the railroads and the prosperity of the railroads means prosperity for the entire industrial system of your state.

p. P. Claxton, United States com.
missioner of education, writing to the
secretary of the interior on the further
development of the domestic arts and
sciences, says the American home is
the most important of all institutions
in the country. Commissioner Clax.
ton, who canes from Tennessee, said
of the home and family: Cali their ac-
tivities proceed from it and return to
it. Therefore, of all the arts those
pertaining to home making are the
most important, and of all the sci
ences those which find their applica.
ton in the home, making us intelli.
gent about the home and its needs, are
the most significant. If the schools
are to assist in making us intelligent
about the life we live and the work
we do, they must provide literally for
instruction in these arts and sciences.
Within the last two or three decades
educators and people generally have
become conscious of this fact as
never before, and gradually the schools
are being readjusted to meet the new
demands. Probably they have never
undertaken more important or diff.
cult task, and there is constant need
for information in regard to methods
adopted and results obtained"

ACCURACY IN NEWSPAPERS

ACCURACY IN NEWSPAPERS
Professor Hugo Munsterberg is a
professor of psychology at Harvard.
His head is filled with ideas, and
he knows many things. But some
things he doesn't know. For
instance, he has been taking fling
recently at newspaper reporters,
who, he says. habitually distort
what men say and do, and the
professor regards this as bad
thing for public morals. Evident
ly the professors experience has
been with the metropolitan news
paper. On these newspapers a
vast quantity of news must be
gathered in an extraordinarily short
time. Accuracy is aimed at and
attained to a remarkable degree.
But the metropolitan press is but a
very small part of the country's
press. Professor Munsterberg is
provincial, like many other dwellers
in Eastern cities. In the small
towns the people are close to their
newspaper. Frequently the editor
knows everybody in the county.
Accuracy becomes a deadly neces-
sity. No reporter or editor who is
worthy the name dares say he does
not care whether what he writes is
true or not. His profession and
his pride in it demand that he gives
to it the best he has in him. Ac-
curacy, attention to detail, truth
are only some of the things that
he must give to his paper. Profes-
sor Munsterberg may be great
psychologist, but he will never be
a great man until he learns that
outside of Harvard, Boston and
New York there is a great country
filled with newspapers and news
paper men, and that in the lot the
venal, the deliberately untruthful,
the mountebank are as scarce as
exactitude is in psychology.

THE larger part of the influen-
tial papers of the state are making
a demand for a smaller legislature.
We join in the movement but can
not for the life of us see where we
can spare either of the members
from this district, including Senator
Griggs. We need Our members
and need them all. After one
term of trial, before which we were
represented by a legislature in
whose election we had no choice,
we are of the opinion that the
cutting down should be done in
some other district than ours. It
is to be hoped however, that the
legislature could be cut from it's
present overlapping proportions to
one that would at least have room
to stretch its feet i'll the legislative
halls of the state capitol. It is a
we'll known fact that there are
many members in the state whose
efficiency goes just about to the
capacity of stretching their feet
under the mahogony desks and
no farther.
The Red Wing Eagle sarcastic
ally remarks that the move for a
smaller legislature should be en-
compassed in about seven members;
two from Duluth; two from St.
Paul; two from Minneapolis and
one from the state at large. Wow!
The Mankato Review in COM
menting on the above, says the
sarcasm has opened an avenue of
thought inasmuch as seven men,
bers from the state at large and
only one to district would suit
them. It further ruakes the state
ment that in this manner the best
man of the district would be
chosen and salary commensurate
with his ability could be paid as an
inducement for the best to aspire.
All of which is good.

A great hurrah is made over the
fact that our state taxes will be in

than last year. says the Bell
Plaine Herald. This is the sole
accomplishment of the reduce
expenditures campaign made by
the people two years ago. The
place where the legislature applied
the pruning knife was to the
school appropriation that should
be let alone. Saltwater Gazette.
The chief business before the
house, after everyone else has been
provided for, is selecting Christ
mas gift for father. Many pos
sibilities at once suggest them
selves. Father could stand new
overcoat. Yes, but who has the
price to buy father a new overcoat?
Answer: Nobody, not even father.
Father also needs a new pair of
goloshes, new comb, another
handspring in his watch, 10 tons of
coal, toupee for the top of his
head, six or eight new pairs of
shoe laces and a gross of collar
buttons. He also has sneaking
desire for half a dozen cellploid
collars that can't be told from the
real thing, because his linen ones
always melt when he gets mad at
the stenographer.
Let us. therefore, consider these
articles carefully. Goloshes cost
too much. Cut 'em off the list.
Comb-a combs too cheap. Any
way, there are only seven teeth mis-
sing from the comb which father
now has, and the missing teeth
just match fathers missing hairs.
New handspring to watch-this
would necessitate asking father for
the watch. and then his Christmas
gift wouldn't be surprise. Coal
father always buys the coal.
Why should we rob him of his
pleasures? Toupee- unroman-
tic. Shoe laces- undignifed.
Collar buttons-see shoe laces.
