As One Fellow Sees It

Editors are all born boosters. The other day the editor was solicited to join a lodge and was handed petition printed by a supply house. he got a dun from a merchant in a government stamped envelope and written on gargling oil statement: he made a purchase at a store and got a duplicate bill printed at Chicago and wrote a check on a blank printed in Denver. Ye gods. how can an editor expect to join lodges and pay bills on such treatment as that, and all the time tell the people to trade at home? Editors have to be born boosters, prepared to live on herring and stand for any thing Verdon (Okla.) ] News.

Start Right, Says Billy Sunday

Billy Sunday. the evangelist, preached a sermon to boys re- gently on the wisdom of starting life right. He illustrated it with the following anecdote;
 The time to start right is when you are young. l was out in a brickyard several years ago and saw them making brick. They would put the clay in a big machine something like a huge sausage grinder and grind it up fine and then spread it out on a big platform and smooth it out just the thickness of the brick. and then man would turn the big wheel and the knives would cut the clay. and fellows would put the pieces in wagons with shelves and carry them to the kiln and burn them.
 I picked up some of the clay before it went to the grinder and could still mould it.
 T picked up some clay that had lain in the sun for several days ana by trying hard l could still bend it, but when picked up a brick after it had come out of the kiln, try as hard as l might. l could not even dent it It was burned hard and would always remain that way.
 Boys and girls are like that clay. When they are young, God can mould them to do his way or the devil can mould them to do his way, but after they are old it is hard to change them. - Morrilton Headlight.

Stamps Required On Mortgage

When in Little Rock last Satur- day I called on Mr. Jack Walker, Revenue Collector for Arkansas, and was advised by him that d 25c revenue stamp should be put on each mortgage. both real and chattel. and that clerks should see that these instruments bear the stamps before filing same. He advised me that he had writ ten the Treasury Department to find out how to proceed with reference to placing stamps on mortgages filed prior to this rul- ing. and that as soon as he heard from the department he would instruct us how to go about it.
 So after this date the stamp will be required before the in strument is filed. and the collec- tor will advise us what to do about stamping the old instru- ments filed from Dec. 1st to April lst.
 Very truly.

And Isn't So Bad After All

After all the abuse heaped upon Gov. Hays for cutting the appropriations made by the last legislature. it is now discovered that the most of the items were for additions to the institutions, painting, repairing, stenogra- phers, and items not absolutely necessary or which could be provided for from some other fund. Even the tobacco for the old soldiers which some dema- gogues shed crocodile tears over, has not been taken from the old veterans and will not be accord ing to the superintendent. but will be bought with money from the fund for the support of the home. Among all the criticisms of the Governor we have failed to see one hint of how the critics would have the state pay the large, and sometimes extrava- gant, appropriations with no revenues provided. It seems to us that the legislature should have made an effort first to pro- vide funds by remodeling our antiquated system of taxation and enforcing some economy in the administration of the state in stitutions before it passed appro- priation bills with hole in the treasury. This is a time we all have to go without paint on our houses or powder on our faces and the state buildings can go till next year without a fresh coat of paint.
