When craven ohurIs deride her,
To front lie in arms and not to yield

Not forced to frame excuses for his

Fed from within with all the strength

Such was he, our martyr chief,
Whom late the nation he had led,
With ashes on her head,

And, choosing sweet clay from the
breast
OF the unexhausted west,
With stuff untainted shaped a hero
new,
Wise, steadfast in the strength of God

How beautiful to see
Once more a shepherd of mankind, in

Who loved his charge, but never loved

One whose meek flock the people ioyed

Not lured by any cheat of birth,
But by his clear grained human
worth
And brave old wisdom of sineerityl

The Ad and the Goods.

When people see the advertis- ing of an article in the news paper and then come face to face with the goods in the store keepers window, the selling chain is complete. If the goods are the kind they want they gen. erally buy. The advertising is the introduction, the window the closing word. Keen retailers always make their windows keep time to their local newspaper.
 It means business for them and it means a favorable impression of their store on the part of the public. An ad in The Spectator will be made neat, readable and attractive-it forces a good inn pression. The Spectator reaches more people in the territory con- tributory to Ozark than any other paper published. That's why Spectator advertising pays.

SCRIPTURE AND PREPAREDNESS.

There has been great deal of scripture quoted in the discussion concerning military preparedness in an effort to show that it is un- Christian to prepare for war, and just as much could be quoted on the other side of the argument. The Scriptures, and particularly the New Testament, teem with warnings against setting high CT value on life and it's material possessions than on honor and justice. But all this i s some what beside the argument. Nc one in America wants war, but President Wilson and those who support him believe in providing such a defense as will make hon. or and peace more secure. Those of our friends who believe that we should merely dream the days away with beautiful ideals, SC far as the national security is concerned. are very inconsistent. Doubtless many of them carry fire insurance, and quite likely they lock their doors at night, and yet the majority of them have never been burned out or robbed.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

The people of this great state did a wise thing when they went to the polls on March 29th and nominated Charles Hillman Brough, teacher, scholar a n d statesman, for governor. It was by the will of the people and probably no better selection in the entire state could have been made to fill this important office. The plurality by which he was nominated was not over- whelming, yet it was large enough to be decisive and shows the unmistakable choice of the citizens of the grand state of Arkansas. His recognized qual- ifications at the beginning of the campaign were his scholarly at- tainments, lifelong study of economic affairs and a high type of Christian manhood. To these he soon displayed the ability to rally to his support men of all classes and in all walks of life, which perhaps is more indicative than anything else of a success ful administration. Regardless of other qualifications, no man lacking in the ability to draw men to him and enlist them in the measures and reforms he wishes to put into effect could make his influence felt in public affairs. But one other time in a generation or more have the vo- ters of the state elevated a man from private life to the govern orship at one step. The experi- ence is novel one and the re- suit will be watched with much interest. Dr. Brough's friends have an abiding faith that he has the ability, the manhood and h e determination to make good," and that his administra- tion will be lasting monument to the state.

THE following is an Arkansas boys account of his fathers en- trance into politics: Dad has took the stump. 1 dunno who run him up it-but he's on it just the same. Dad is after offiis. One paper says he is natural born liar; mother one says he stold a hoss, an mother one says he run off with a widder. When maw heard all them things she said she thought she knowed him be- fore; but she's glad she's done found him out for sure at last, an jest wait till she ketches him again."

ANENT THE MONTH OF APRIL.

April is called by the ancients the lovliest of the months. This was because it typified both the beauty of Venus, for whom it was named. and her philosophy of the users of beauty. Venus was the most beautiful who ever lived anywhere except in Ozark.
 She was the Lillian Russell of mythology. Everybody wanted to marry her, and speculation as to her choice was as great as

that with respect to Alice Roose- velt's several years ago. She knocked the breath out of every body by marrying Vulcan. who did a general vulcanizing a n d blacksmithing business. He was so ugly that people thronged to his shop to trade, just as we go to see Eddie Foy. It had been supposed that Venus would mar ry Apollo or some other ravish- ing beauty, but she took Vulcan and held the soldering iron in the shop for him when the auto- mobile season was on. She ex- plained that she considered it the duty of every beautiful woman to marry an ugly man, and ask ed how else the average of beau ty was to be raised. Nobody could say, and from that day to this beautiful women have mar ried ugly men. Thus we have in April the lovliness of Venus and the thunderbolts of Vulcan, combination which meant more to the ancients than either the flowers of May and the charms of June.

PACKARD PERFORMS
FOR CHICAGO TODAY
Great Lett Handler 10 Oppose Young
and Shack1efOrd-Mike DOOlan
Will Be in Game.

Nike DOolan, one of the best known
ball players in the game today, and
who is widely remembered for his
work with the Philadelphia National
league team, will be in the game this
afternoon, at Athletic park, bet "een
the Cubs second team and the Brew
ers, having reached the city last night
from Shreveport. Doolan comes to
take the place of Mulligan, the short
stop who has been with the second
team, but who has now been shifted
to the first team by Manager Joe
Tinker.
The Cubs will present a new line
up in the game this afternoon, Rollie
Heider going back to his old position
at first base, Wallace working in his
regular position behind the bat and
Mccarthy playing at second base,
where he belongs naturally.
Manager Zeider last night announc-
ed that Eugene Packard will pitch for
the Cubs today Packard is a left
handler. was ranked in the Federal
league last season only behind the in
comparable Eddie Plank. He is in
form, and the fans will watch his
work this afternoon with interest
especially after they saw what he
can do with the stick, in yesterdays
contest.
For the Brewers, ICY" Young and
Red Shackelford are expected to do
the pitching. Than Young, there are
few better pitchers in the American
association, and if he works his slow
ball successfully this afternoon, the
Cubs will suffer with strained backs
tonight. Shackelford probably has
more perfect control than any Of the
pitchers with either team, and his
work, if he performs up to his class,
will be somewhat of a revelation to
local fans.
The batting orders for today are as
follows
Cubs-Zeider, lib; Mccarthy, 2b;
Schultz, II: Zwilling, eff; Wallace, C;
Allison. IF; Doolan, SIS; Pechous, 3b;
Packard, p.
Williams, If: Martin, IS;
Thorpe, Of; Kirke, IF: Lewis, lib;
Benson, 2b: Stutz. 3b: Allen or O'Far-

The game will start again at 2:3O
o'clock.
