POLITICAL TOBASCO SAUCE

A friend writing from the coast, who
has republican leanings and who has
had an opportunity to study politics
over considerable of the country, re-
lieves his mind in the following pleas
ant manner in a letter to the editor of
this paper:
What do you make of Poindexter's
latest move? According to a dispatch
from Washington, D. c., in this morn
ing's Tacoma Ledger, he is back in
the republican party again, and BOOM
ing Fairbanks for president and Weeks
Tor vice president. Both ultra con-
servatives. | wonder if he intends to
he as radically conservative as he has
heretofore been socialistic? Whatever
lie does, however, will not serve to
re-elect him. He has run his course
like quacks in every profession do,
and he will never be honored again in
this state by high office. After all the
best way to get rid OF such artists as
Poindexter, Bryan (the Washington
congressman ct al, is to give them
office once 1t is bitter medicine for
the public, but it is sure cure.
There is a growing conviction that
the republicans will win throughout
the country in 1916. The Wilson ad
ministration has fallen flat in every
undertaking. Its weakness and its
lack of objective have finally convict
ed the democratic party of another
monumental failure. The New Free
dom has developed into nothing but
a fine and insubstantial phrase. Pros
perity has been killed definitely by the
party politics, or lack of politics, and
beautiful diction, charming rhetoric
and exaulted alturism alike lead but to
the skeleton closet of democfacy-in-
herent incapacity and inability to deal
iutelligently and successfully with the
cold, hard, practical facts. Times are
harder this year than last, and were
harder last year than the year before.
The people have generally settled
down to the firm belief that times will
remain hard until change of admin
istration is effected, and they are i'm
patiently awaiting the opportunity to
effect the change.
The academic theories our scholis-
tic president has had enacted into
what he is pleased to call business
legislation instead of bringing us into
the promised New Freedom have
brought us to bread lines and the
free soup house.
"Our state department, headed by a
buffoon, an itinerant performer or
barn storming comedian, has become
a pitiful burlesque, devoid of purpose
CT direction-a shilly-shallying, wishy-
washy, weak, silly, impotent farce.
Our country's standing before the ma
tons of the world has fallen from the
highest to the most pitifully groveling
and disgracefully vacilating in the
short period of two years. We have
reached the depths of ignominy
through the wierd and wonderful dip
lomatic dam foolery of that peerless
leader that great commoner,' that
peoples companion that 'matchless
statesman, that human photograph,
that great, glorious, grand and ex-
allied Nebraska cornfed Tallyrand, the
fat, sleek, smiling William Jennings
Bryan.
Pardon me, but l had to get it out
OF my system. l never think of that
fool on mans job, and the ass he
has made of this nation, but l boil
and blush for all of u.s."

The county is to build a substantial
oridge at Riverside to take the place

condemned as unsafe. Riverside puts
VI $1,000 and the county supplies the
balance, a small matter of $4,000.
However, this will be money wall
spent, as there is hardly a point on

The Charleston, (Wash.,) American
in its opposition to the amendment to
the initiative law that provides pre-
Yention against fraud in the securing
OF signatures to petitions very naively
says that under this amendment mo
sympathetic friend, seeking to secure
signatures, is allowed even to accom-
pany an intending signer to the place
OF official signature, to explain or dis
cuss the subject matter of the petit
ton. Now is that not an atrocious
ourtailment of the prerogative of the
individual to exercise his free and VOL
untary right to sign initiative petit
tons? Is it not a shocking iniquity
that any law should be conceived that
would place bar upon sympathetic
friend from chasing a neighbor
around cajoling, soliciting, insisting.
urging, coercing him to affix his sigma
ture to petitions? What a villainous
outrage this restriction is upon the
sympathetic friend keenly interest
ed, for personal reasons, in securing
special legislation, and hating at no
means to secure the requisite number
OF signatures, even to resorting to
fraud here and there in his travels.
Everybody should fly to the rescue of
the sympathetic friend" who is ever
ready to make a martyr of himself by
hawking around petitions is the opin-
ion of the American, that poses as a
great reformer-if it is permitted to
do the reforming.

Manners for Everybody.

*A -
New York schools have added new
study to their cirriculum this year,
and all pupils will be required to study
manners" Not only the act Of cour-
tcous department, but the underlying
principles Of sincere courtesy will be
given attention.
AT first glance this appears to be
just another "frill" in the educational
world, but considered more carefully,
the real worth of this training is ap-
parent, and 1t. is probable that to many
pupils whose homes do not afford such
training it will be more valuable in
later life than music or drawing. In
fact, it will rank right along side Of
the three RS.
The young man or woman who goes
out into the world dependent upon
their own eXertions for their living
and advancement will find that one of
their big assets is quiet, courteous
manners. The knowledge OF the right
thing to do at the right time gives a
poisc that creates a favorable impress
sion and prcdisposes people generally
in fhcir favor.
The home is, of course, the best
place for instilling this knowledge, but
it must be remembered that thousands
of immigrants arc swarming into this
country, and probably will be greatly
|
| increased. Children of these peasant
foreigners do not have the advantage
OF the home training OF the better
American homes, and yet they have
the sterling qualities that make them
good and desirable citizens.
There is no better place than the
schools in which to instil American
customs and good manners into the
mind and makeup of the child. And
good manners can characterize the
humbleSt citizen as well as the mil
lionairc. No teacher should be per-
mittcd in the schools whose voice is
not VOL modulated and whose man
ncrs could not be taken as a model
by tho children who spend so great a
part Of their time with her.
Good manners should not be class
asset. but should be national char
actcristic. ic.-EXchangc.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
 GETS DEATH BLOW
Supreme Court Holds Legislature Had No Authority to Continue
 Services of Hold-0vers.

A dispatch to The Press from Little Rock at noon today says the supreme court this morning upheld the decision rendered by Circuit Judge Guy Fulk who decided the special auditing committee appoint ed by the recent general assembly to audit the books and accounts of the departments of state govern ment were operating without war rant of law. The proceedings were instituted by Representative Jo Johnson of Sebastian county who sought to enjoin the auditor from issuing warrants in payment for the services of the members of the com mittee and the expert accounts en- ployed in checking up the depart ments. Judge Fulk granted the in- junction, and an appeal was taken by members of the committee to the supreme court. The decision of that tribunal today puts an end to an investigation that has already re- vealed startling disclosures in some of the state departments. It is stated the committee now has its report ready on two other depart ments and that the documents will be published this week. The de- partments made the subject of pre- vious reports were the state land and highway office and the agricul- tural department. The new reports will probably cover the office of su- perintendent of public instruction and the office of state auditor.
 The supreme court, in knocking out the special committee, held that when the general assembly adjourn ed sine die all committees were au- tomatically adjourned and that any attempt to continue a committee after the adjournment of the gener- al assemly is illegal.

' NO ALUM m ' DR.PRICE'S CREAM
 ! BAKING POWDER
SPORTSMEN BELIEVE
 IN NEW GAME RULES
Think Measure Enacted by Recent Legislature Will Prove Equal to
 Emergency Tests.

Little Rock, April 17.-Members of the state game and fish commits sion believe the new fish and game law is specific enough that no ques- tion can arise as to the validity of the use of funds derived under the law. An opinion, however, is being awaited from Attorney General w. L. Moose, to whom the question has been submitted. Pending the settle ment involving that all important detail, the state commissioners have been held from taking up much im- portant work in their conference this week.
 It was said that an investigation, believed thorough, had convinced members of the body that it will be lawful for the commission to use the revenue fund in conducting the work that is outlined the commits sion shall take care of. While it was the intention of the law, mem- bers say, that thls specltlc pfoVlso should be part of the measure, some question arose as to whether the wording was specific enough to do so. A fairly complete investiga- ton by the commission led to the statement being made that they be- lieve they can go ahead with the work that the new law was intended to require them to start.
 Those of the commission here are D. G. Beauchamp, Paragould; c. c. Calvert, Fort Smith, Dr. Horace Wells, Monticello, and Lee Miles, Little Rock. George Weber of Tex arkana was not at the conference. MT. Beauchamp is chairman and MT. Miles secretary of the commission.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
 ARE HANDICAPPED
Directors Will Have to Provide Own Blanks and Certificates for
 Holding Annual Meeting.

Becuase of the shortage of revenue the state department of education is not mailing out to school officials this year the usual supply of blank forms for the dispatch of business. This fact will result in serious in jury to the common schools, as much of their administration is impossi- ble without the necessary forms.
 Among these are notices of the election, which should now be post ed; poll books and certificates of election, enumeration blanks, and other forms, all of which are requir- ed to conform to strict legal exact ness.
 An irregularity in the notice of election will vitiate the tax levy and a failure in the enumeration will defeat a district of it's share of the school revenues. The build ing of new houses; the repairing of old ones; the purchasing of school sites, furniture, or the employing of a teacher will all be jeopardized by an error in any of the proceed ings.
 Many directors will not undertake to draw up forms of their own, be- cause of their complexity, and the necessity of complying with legal requirements, and the schools will be paralyzed in many districts. Even when furnished with every help from the state, some directors fail to hold a meeting, or take a census, and thus fail to share in the con- mon school fund, or levy a district tax, even where they have railroads or other public utilities in the district.
 If time afforded, directors could have notices of election printed, and pay for same out of any funds to the credit of their district Concerted action on the part of several boards of directors might obtain these mo- tices at a nominal cost The emu meration blanks, poll books, certifi- cates of results of election, etc, will not be needed for several days and can be provided for in ample time to be used. But some kind of uniformity and compliance with stat utory requirements should be ob- served. The notice of election is now due to be put up, and it must state the time, place and purposes i of the election. The signatures of two directors on the notice is suf- ficient, and necessary to the legal ity of the acts done at the meeting or election.
 . Where directors have old poll books with unused blank pages, these books can be used this year, by re- dating and signing the same. It must be borne in mind that the no- tices and the certificate of the re.
