Adams ADVANTAGE

Whatever troubles Adam missed.
This must have made him sore,
when he and Mother Eve fell out
He couldn't slam the door.
Birmingham Age' Herald
Whatever troubles Adam had
And he had some, 'spose.
He never sat behind hat
Al moving picture shows
Houston Post
Whatever troubles Adam had
he always had chance.
For sure he never had 10 fear
That Eve vood wear the pants.
New Orleans Item
OF all the troubles Adam had
He had one chance guess
And that, whenever they dined out
He never had 70 hook dress.

ignoring the Newspapers

Over in Western Arkansas they
have had an exciting race for the
position Of circuit Judge. One
candidate patronized the newspapers
Of Yell county, the other ignored
them. The result is told in the
current issue of the Danyille Dem.
oorat as follows:
Candidate Wilson saw ft TO ig-
more every paner IN the Danville
district In his race for circuit Judge,
but announced and patronized ex-
clusIyely the columns Of all the
other papers IN the Fifth Judicial
District aud, Of course, under these
circumstances those papers doing
business in the DanvIlle district did
not feel disposed to do very much
for Candidate Wilson.
At the home OF the Danyille DEM
oorat Priddy received 492 votes and
Wilson /. At the home OF the
Plainyiew Herald, weekly, Prddy
received 402 votes and Wilson l.
At the home Of the Ola Enterprise
Priddy received 3l4 votes and Will.
son 8. At the home of the Belle
vile Herald PriddY received 262
votes and WilIon /.
OF course these papers do not
claim the credit for this splendid
victory for the Yell county man,
but they did their part, all right.

Sometimes we run across a per
son who always has wall because
his neighbors have plenty and he
has nothing. And if we could just
follow them to the end of their car
GERS we would probably find the en-
joyment OF plenty while the neigh
bors continuing in wailing drifts
along with his accumulation Of
nothing. And then If we cared to
Dig down and exbume the cause we
would doubtless find the neighbors
working and improving their oppor
tunities while the waller carelessly
allows his to fit by. At least that
is the way it appears to us, and 1t
is 80 simple we believe 1t to be true.

The organization Of a club of
business men of Pocahontas that
would include farmers of the sur
rounding country would be a great
thing for Randolph county If prop
erly conducted. We believe that
the farmers aud merchants should
get together IN order that they
might understand each other better.
Cooperation of business men and
farmers would serve to stop this
blood-sucking mail order system
that Is taking thousands Of dollars
out of our county every year.

THE PARTY LABEL.-I don't think
people are really much interested in
SweitZer as a Democrat or Thompson
as a Republican. What difference
does it make? What is the differ
ence-at any rate in city government
whether a man is one thing or the
other? SweitZer will be no better as
mayor, or no worse, because he hap
pens to call himself a Democrat. The
same is true of Thompson. But it
does make a mighty difference what
kind of MEN they are. It makes a
mighty big difference whether they
will faithfully serve the people or
meekly serve Special Privilege and
betray the people. Changing from
blue clothes to brown doesn't change
the color of a mans skin or the bent
of his mind. Bob Sweitzer is the
same Bob SweitzeT now that he is a
Democrat that he was a few years
ago when he called himself Repub-
hcan. And Thompson would be the
same Bill Thompson if he tore off his
Republican label and called himself
a Democrat. In the days when the
Republican ticket was headed with

Addressing the annual convention OF

ISOLATION in Detroit last week, Presi
dent Bowers of the Ohio Association OF
Letter Carriers, declared: THE great
est school in the world is the United
States rural free delivery system"
This is not an exaggeration. Second,
class mail rates and the r. F. d have
put current literature into hundreds of
thousands of farm houses, where edu-
cation in current events ia now the rule
rather than the exception. Rural free
delivery has done more for the agricul-
tural uplift In the United States than
any other agency for good. Rural free
delivery has brought the farm to the
city and the city to the farm. In its
commercial aspects. the R. F. D. ser.
vice has been of surprising rural ad.
vantage. In it's social aspects, the r.
F. d. service has been both evolution.
ary and revolutionary. And in it's
educational aspects. cit is the greatest
school in the world. >"
Such an institution ought to be safe
from political assault. such an insti-
tuition should be sacred against petty
penny wise economies that stunt eff.
cheney and curb vitality. There is no
more unreasonable or more unwise or
more unnecessary movement in con.
temporary public affairs than prevail
ing reorganization" work in the
Rural Free Delivery. Routes are being
re-arranged to the serious detriment of
the service itself Conso idation and
elimination are tearing down much
that has been reared through years of
patient effort. 1t is a phase of postal
reforms" which ought to bring ruth.
less condemnation from those who are
not affected as we'll as from the direct
benefciaries of the devitalizing attack.
Any changes made in the r. F. d.
should be in the direction of expansion.
"Ihe greatest school in the world"
ought not to have bricks pulled from
its foundation. This present monkey.
business merits the popular disapproval
which it will speedily receive when the
people have a chance to express them.

CHILD'S DEATH WAS SUICIDE
States Attorney Can Find No Evil
dence Supporting Murder.

Montpelier, Ind, Aug. 26.--The in.
vestigation into the death of nine
year old Dena Baker, VINO died last
Wednesday of carbolic acid poisoning,
has about run its course, according to
Prosecutor Lee F. Sprague.
The states attorney, who has been
assisting Coroner c. f. Rutledge in
the inquiry, asserted that no evidence
had been unearthed that was consid-
cred sufficient to warrant the filing of
a murder charge against any person.
So far as he was concerned, the
prosecutor said, the investigation was
practically. at an end and probably
would end with verdict of suicide.
