 Those who heard Dr. Brough's speech at Melbourne last week at the opening of the Izard county court, are enthusiastic in their praise of his grasp of national affairs. There were delegations present from many coun- ies, and he was given a most cordial reception. One of the interesting fea- lures of the meeting was the fact that the chairman was Thomas S. Evans, who is n,nety-fve years old, and has practically all of his life resided in that section of the state.
 Dr. Brough referred to Woodrow Wilson as man, who, combining the patriotism of Washington, the philos- ophy of Thomas Jefferson, the cour- age of Andrw Jackson, and the philai.- thropy of Abraham Lincoln, is destin, ed to go down in history as one of the five great presidents.
 He said that every member of what had been the Progressive party in Ar kansas should support the Democratic ticket, both state and national. and should vote for Wilson, because Will sen and a Democratic Congress had enacted into law every plank in the Roosevelt platform except the recall of judicial decisions.
 Praises Federal Reserve.
 Dr. Brough descr. bed the Federal Reserve Ac as the great. ,t piece of Constructive legislation enacted since the Civil War. He referred to the Rural Credits Act as the Magma Char ta of liberty for the farmer, whereby the farmer is; enabled to secure long time loans at rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent This is soon to be supplemnted by Personal Rura; Credits bill which will more fi.miy establish the agriculturalists of the nation.
 He declared that Wilson's policy to- ward Mexico is identically the same as was that of President Lincoln Millions of American dollars for the protection of American lives, but noc American life for the protection Of millions of American dollars" He ap- peals in all his speeches to his hearers to vote for Wilson because he has kept the country out of war; and has steer ed the ship of state into the harbor or peace, progress and prosperity. with the motto, America First" at the masthead.
 Says It's a Good Road Bill.
 Dr. Brough praised the Shekelford good road bill enacted by the Demo- cratic Congress, appropriating $75, 100000 over period of five years ror the construction of good roads. The share that will come to Arkansas the first year is $82,000, and this will in- crease annually. The present cost of IiduSpOI llllS Ollo IOll OHo uillc, WlIh present roads, and taking the average for the whole state is 26.S cents, but this can be reduced with pike roads to approximately cents mile
 Hughes Plays for Women.
 Hughes play for the support of the women in the suffrage states, by pre- tending to favor equal suffrage, is pur- ely political. Woodrow Wilson voted for Women Suffrage in New Jersey two years ago, while Hughes had not cast a vote in a city, county. or state election since 1910, although woman's suffrage had been in issue in New York
