FUTRELL MAY YET
GET IN THE RACE
In Authorized Statement Para
gouldian SAYS He Has About
Decided to Run for Governor

(From Mondays Daily Press)
Refuting a special sent from Lit
tie Rock and appearing in Sundays
Commercial Appeal to the ef-
feet that Senator j. NJ. Futrell had
written friends in Little Rock that
he would positively not be a can
didate for governor, Senator Flu
trell this morning authorized The
Press to state that he had written
no such letter to any one. On the
contrary he is still considering en-
tering the race and has about
made up his mind to do so.
The Little Rock special to the
Commercial Appeal is as follows:
"Strong efforts have been made
lately to induce Senator J. M. Flu
trell of Paragould to enter the gu
bernatorial contest, but letters re-
ceived from Mr.. Futrell today posi-
lively settle the matter. He says
he will not, under any circum-
stances, be candidate. Senator
Futrell was acting governor of Ar
kansas for several months after the
1913 legislature adjourned, and
made a splendid record. Everyone
comedies that he would have made
a most formidable candidate"
When shown this clipping, Sea-
ator Futrell said
"All along | have had no inclina-
tion to enter the race for governor,
and have so expressed myself by
letter, but have at no time stated
positively / would not run"
Speaking further he said:
81 am not obsessed with any
special ambition to be governor,
and have regarded it very doubtful,
in present day politics, that any
one could be elected governor with
out being hog tied by prediction
promises. l would not want-in-
deed, / would not have, the gov
ernor's office if l could not be free
to act upon any matter as I saw
proper. But as the issue of an e1ec-
ton is always doubtful one,
have about made up my mind to-
enter the race-at least, l have the
matter under serious considera-
ton"

McRAE ANNOUNCES.

Prescott, June 14.-Col Thomas
c. McRae of this city, and for Is
years a member of congress from
this district, Saturday announced
nomination for governor at the
primary next March. He states
that he has declined an invitation
to open his campaign at Brinkley
on the 18th, believing that the
business of the country, both pri-
vate and public, politics, both state
and national, suggest that political
discussion and agitation at this
time would be premature and un-
wise.
He insists that the making, har-
vesting and marketing of the grow
ing crops, the revival of business,
domestic and foreign, and above all
the support of the president in his
determination to uphold the honor
of the United States and protect
the rights of citizens at this time
are uppermost in the minds of the,
people.
the restoration and maintenance Of
the credit of the state; the econom-
cal expenditure of public omney,
the abolition of useless offices, the
protection of labor and capital, the
encouragement of immigration, the
enforcement of all the laws, the
liberal support and improvement of
all public schools and state colleges
and the passage of a primary cleo
ton law that will prohibit and
punish fraud in elections and Sc
cure the right of contest.
Although he will not begin an
active canvass for several months,
Col. McRae intends inviting all op-
ponents to join him in public dis
cussions throughout the state. He
hopes that the state central COM
mittee will call the primary for
next summer. instead of in March,
that the campaign may be conduct
ed during the spring.
Mr.. McRae is the man who Gre
aLed such sensation at the Am
erican Bankers association in Bos-
ton two years ago when he deliv-
cred a speech commencing Presi-
dent Wilson for his action in in
dorsing the establishment Of the
Few banking system.

POOL ROOMS WILL
OPEN HERE SOON
Supreme Court Has Held City
Councils Have No Authority to
Suppress Such Places,

From reliable sources it is un-
derstood pool and billiard halls
will soon reopen in Paragould,
after a suspension of five months.
It is known the supreme court of
Arkansas recently held that city
councils have no right to suppress
this form of business, that the law
merely confers upon municipali-
ties the authority to license and
regulate these places, and it is in
timated that the license must be
reasonable and not so high that
upon its face it would make it un-
profitable to attempt to operate
pool and billiard halls.
The pool room nuisance in Par
agoud was the subject of a long
and somewhat acrimonious fight
here during 1918 and 1914. The
city council passed an ordinance in
December. 1913, raising the license
on each table to SIS, and provid-
ing that those seeking the privilege
to operate pool and billiard halls
should make personal application
to the council, which body should
be the sole judge of the moral
qualifications of the applicant to
run the business. Provision was
further made for the revocation OF
license in the event the owner or
operator violated the restrictions
thrown around the business.
Several times during 1914, Ii
censes were revoked, but later up
on the pleas and promises of the
were rescinded.
Toward the close of 1914 the
council passed an ordinance abso-
lutely prohibiting the operation of
pool and billiard halls in Para
gould after January l, 1915. When
this ordinance went into effect all
the pool rooms went out of busi-
ness. Since then the three build
ings occupied by pool and billiard
tables have been leased to tenants
who installed mercantile stocks. In
fact, the moral atmosphere of Par
agould has been considerably i'm
proved since these dens of vice were
abolished
However, the decision of the su-
preme court nullifies the effect of
the ordinance suppressing this
evil and now there is no law
against the operation of pool and
billiard halls.
The ordinance passed in 1914
repealed the ordinance of 1913, and
since the 1914 ordinance is lille
gal, the city now has no ordinance
of any kind to license and regulate
the business.
The city council will meet in ad-
Journed session tonight for the
purpose of passing an ordinance
fixing the annual license on pool
and billiard tables and providing
for the strict regulation of the
business. City Attorney Cecil
Shane is today preparing the ordi-
nance, and it is understood he is
making it as drastic as the state
laws will permit.
While this issue has not been
before the new council, it Is be-
neved at least majority of the
members are opposed to the re-
opening of the pool rooms in Par
agould, but under the decision of
the supreme court they are power
less to suppress the business.

assault by aggressive nations
at least sufficiently prepared to
meet the first assault that may
possibly be made upon it until
it can organize and mobilize its
defense. The Prince of Peace,
whom Mr.. Bryan would invoke
in his passive peace policy. once
said to His disciples, "Know this,
that if the good man of the house
had known in what watch the
thief would come, he would not
have suffered his house to be
broken up; therefore be we also
ready" 1t is admirable in a ma
ton to counsel love and peace,
but it is wise to be prepared to
resist possible attack and inva-
sion by other nations that are
not by tradition or practice so
peaceably disposed.

Walter Williams, dean of the
School of journalism of the Uni
versity of Missouri, delivered an
address on Publicity" at the
golden jubilee convention of the
Missouri Sunday School Associa-
ton, which met at the Third
Baptist Church in st. Louis last
Tuesday. He advocated and en-
phasized the necessity of pub
licity in church work of all kinds,
urging the use of "the worlds
greatest power advertising.
He said "Jesus Christ was a
master of the art of advertis-
ing" and he didn't forget to
mention that the devil is good
advertiser, too. Of course the
advertising of the Lords bust
ness has been given into the
hands of His agents or followers,
who compose His Church on
earth, for unto them was deliv-
cred the commission, go We in
to all the world and preach the
Gospel to every creature" But
the evil one has his advertising
agents also, host of them, and
some times we are almost per-
suaded that they are the more
active from the fruits we see all
about us.

Several days ago Marie Moent-
man, the 17-year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Moentman, of
$40 Michigan Ave., st. Louis,
had both her arms crushed while
feeding cloth bags into a press
in the Fulton Bag and Cotton
Mills of that city. The right
arm was so badly crushed that
it had to be amputated at the
shoulder and the left near the
elbow. Here is forceful exam7
pie of child labor, of woman COM
peting in the domain of man
in mans place-doing the labor
that man should do; and, 10
doubt, receiving a very small
wage, although able to feed as
many bags into a press as a 40
year old, 200 pound man who
would have $500 or $4,000 per
week perhaps, a or 5 times what
Miss Marie Moentman was get
ting for doing not less than a
$4,000 man could do.
Is it any wonder that n1ost of
the business ordinarily goes to
the big city where it is done at
low figure by the utilization
of cheap feminine labor! Wo-
men and girls are being utilized
not only in the arts, in educa-
tional fields, but in commercial
and industrial activities; yet,
they are persistently being de-
MED the right to participate in
the regulation and government
Of the spheres in which they
are used. Is such a condition
Fair? Is it consistent?
Too many big printing plants,
factories and department stores
in the big cities are preying on
this innocent and defenseless
class to the detrinent of the
small country business, and, in
directly, to an influence that Isl
apt to be destructive Of virtues.
Were women given charge Of
their own affairs, by enfran-
chisement, there is reason to be-
lieve these conditions would be
somewhat ameiiorated.

These are dark days for the
world. The shadow of the war
is heavier than ever on all hearts,
whatever their sympathies.
There is little exultation now
even in victories, for we know at
what a price of blood and pain
every victory is won. But there
are many things besides war in
the world. Except for our ac-
tive imaginations, most of us
would feel like running on pref
ty much as usual. There is the
same sunshine, the same life
giving air, the same autumn
colors in the woods, the same
joy in bountiful harvests. There
is the same quiet satisfaction
of soul that has always come
with the fall season, whether in
country or city. Here in our
American isolation, we can live
out our lives in spite of the wars
and rumors of wars. There is
need, to be sure, of taking
thought for the future, prepar-
ing against the time when war
may bring home to us the wrech-
edness that we knew half a CEN
fury ago and that Europe knows
today. But that is a matter of
calm decision, not for alarm and
fear. We are today the most
fortunate nation in the world.
There is no reason why we can
not continue so. 1t is a good
time for the nation to take to-
heart the philosophy that q is
preached so much today to in
dividuals-the philosophy of
confidence, of optimism, of pos
tive thought. 1t is right and
proper that we should feel the
woes of Europe, and it is our
duty to alleviate them all we can.
But it is wrong to let those
woes weigh on our spirits until
we lose our own bouyancy and
poise. It is better to regard the
war as a doctor or a nurse re-
CARDS sickness-as something to
be cured, whose cure can be eff
fected not through outbursts Of
sentimentalism but through in
telligent and cheerful service.

United States Marine Corps
was first called into existence
by an act of the Continental
Congress of November 10, ITS,
and CALAMITY served throughout
the Revolutionary war. 1t was
disbanded at the close of the
war, on April IL, 1882, but was
re-organized and permanently
established July II, 1893. From
that day to this it's officers and
men have been Jealous partici-
pants in every expedition in
which the Navy has engaged,
and in many trying campaigns
they have won distinction with
their brethren of the Army. It
is the gallant little corps that
has so ably assisted in fighting
Americas battles in every cor
ner of the globe for more than
a century; it's members are the
first men on the ground in case
of trouble with a foreign power,
and the first men into battle in
case of hostilities. They have
at all times served their coun-
try faithfully, both in peace and
war, and have reflected great
credit upon themselves as a
Corps and the nation which thew
represent. Ever have they liv-
ed up to the letter, as well as the
spirit, Of the motto of the Corps,
Semper Fidelis.' Marines serve
on both land and sea, but are
trained, clothed, and equipped
very much as are soldiers OF the
land forces.

Preparedness and efficiency
have become the standard by
which the world measures men
and means, and it is not strange
therefore that there appears to
be preponderating sentiment
throughout the country in favor
of President Wilson'S policy OF
national preparedness against
possible foes. There are a few
militant persons, like Colonel
Roosevelt, who think that the
Presidents proposed plan does
not go far enough, and still
others, like Mr.. Bryan, who are
opposed to any policy Of pre-
paredness, on the theory that il
shows a belligerant spirit and
invites rather than repeIs as
sault. Mr.. Bryan would resist
attack by the law Of love, which
is admirable, and So would VIC
all as a nation, for the United
States government stands com
nlittea against aggression and
extension BY force but until all
other powerful nations are COM
mitted to the same policy Of
good will, it is wise for our ma
ton to be prepared for possible
