NORMbL FACULTY
 NOT ANNOUNCED

Referring to story in this morn ing's Arkansas Gazette that the State Normal School faculty for l916-17 had been announced by President J. J. Doyne, President Doyne said today the article was entirely unauthorized and that he had made no such state ment. The faculty will not be chosen, he stated, until the board of trustees meets on June "A, and at that time the board will elect teachers for the forthcoming session. The statement that he had announced the faculty for the next year, President Doyne s-id, was quite embarrassing to him, as it places him in a false position, that of assuming an authority which he does not possess, the selection of the teachers of the institution. The faculty as listed in the Gazette is the one which has served during the past year and which appears in the annual catalogue of the school, issued this week.

EXPECTS INCREASE
 IN ASSESSMENTS TAxsASSfSSOR JOHNSON Who Begins Work Monday, Says Personal Property Values Must
 Be Increased.

A total assessment which will not only wipe out the decrease of 1915 under 1914, but will show an increase in keeping with the generally i'm proved financial conditions of the county is expected by Tax Assessor Austin Johnson, who will begin on Monday, June 5, at Wooster the work of making up the assessment of Faulkner county for 1916.
 Last years assessment showed a considerable decrease from that of the preceding year. This was due to two causes, MT. Johnston states. The principal reason was the low price of cotton from the crop of 1914, from which the county had not recov- cred. The other was the fact that the assessors acquaintance with the people and property of the county was limited and considerable num- Der escaped assessment and were not found by the delinquent assessors.
 Il intend to see this year that every person liable to taxation is placed on the tax books," said Mir. Johnson today. Several Conway people who were away for the sum- mer failed to assess altogether last year, and as 1 was not acquainted with them l failed to get them on the books. I should like to notify all such persons this year that if they fail to come and assess their proper ty l will list it at such value as I think is proper and will also extend the legal penalty for delinquent as- sessments against them"
 MT. Johnson also stated that he would insist upon better assessment of merchandise, moneys and credits this year. He said Faulkner county IS much under the average in it's per centage of assessed value to the real value in this class of property and he expected to see material increase in the assessments this year.
 Real estate, which is assessed only in alternate years, will not be valued by the assessor this year. The as- sessment as made in 1915 against all real property will stand for another year, except where Improvements have been made which increase the value.

MRS. W. M. LYON
 DIES SUDDENLY

Mrs. Sallie Sims Lyon, wife of William M. Lyons, former postmaster of Greenbrier and prominent Republi- can leader of this county, died sud- denly at their home at Greenbrier shortly before 10 o'clock this morn- ing. Although it was known she was afflicted with an affection of the heart her condition has not recently been regarded as serious and she was in apparent good health. Attending to her household duties this morning she suddenly fell and was dead almost instantly.
 Mrs. Lyon was born in this county June 13, 1864, and was married to MT. Lyon in 1881. She is survived by her husband, one son, John E. Lyon, bookkeeper of the Faulkner County Bank and by two brothers, John Sims of Plumerville and Bart Sims of Pangburn. Mrs. Lyon was lifelong member of the Baptist church and was loved and respected by large circle of friends and rela- tives.
 The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at Greenbrier, the burial to be in the Thorn cemetery.

MORRILTON CROWD IS WELCOMED HERE OVER 200 YISITORS;COME From Sister City to Inspect COnway's Street Paving and Lighting
 Speaking on Square.

Over POO citizens of Morrilton coming here in 40 or more automo piles, last night were guests for g few hours of the citizens of Conway maxim gthe visit upon the invitation of Mayor J. c. Dawson for the pur. pose of inspecting Conway's system of street paving and lighting. Simi- lar improvements are now being or ganized at Morrilton and it was the purpose of boosting this movement that the visit was made. Had it not been for threatening weather it was stated that double the number of cars and people would have made the trip. Only a few drops of rain fell, how ever, and there was nothing to mar the pleasure of the occasion.
 Reaching here between 7:30 and 8:30 o'clock the visitors formed in line at the north end of Front street and, headed by car carrying Mayor Dawson and other city officials, a drive was taken over the paved streets of the city. Returning to the public square, after an enjoyable se- lection by the Morrilton park band, Mayor Dawson delivered a short but cordial address of welcome to the vis- itors and introduced Attorney Ed ward w. Gordon of Morrilton, who responded on behalf of Mayor J. A. Frisby.
 Dr. J. H. Reynolds of Hendrix Col lege delivered a short talk felicitating the people of both cities upon the cordial relations existing between them. He outlined the methods by which the paving had been construct ed in this city, stating that the cost had averaged about 95 cents pe1 square yard and averaged from 9C cents to $l.90 per front foot, accord. ing to the width of the paving.
 E. E. Mitchell and Judge Jordan Sellers of Morrilton both made short talks, complimenting Conway on hei splendid improvements. Both refer red to the work of the late Capt. w. w. Martin in bringing about Con- ways achievements and said that if Morrilton had been so fortunate as to have him for it's citizen it might have been that Conway would have been coming to Morrilton for lessons in municipal improvements, instead of the reverse.
 Splendid music between the speech es was rendered by the visiting band and the program was concluded with the singing of Arkansas" by its au- thor and composer, Mrs. J. w. Bar nett of Little Rock, the crowd joining in the chorus.
 Punch was dispensed to the visit. ors, and beautiful buttonhole boquets prepared by the ladies of Conway were also given them. A crowd mum. bering at least 2,000 people was or the square during the speaking. Al most every automobile in Conwa, was out.
 Owing to the late hour at which tht program was completed and tn, threatening weather but few of tn. visitors accepted the invitation tt visit Rustic park. The entire occa sion, however, was a most pleasan one and greatly strengthened tn, friendly ties between the people O. the two towns.

WHERE REFoRMERs FIT IN.

| The methods Of the average reformers usual
| ly defeat their own purpose. In every commun-
| ity there is always certain number OF men
anxious to reform their fellows-willy nilly-
to legislate them into goodness This condition
of affairs has always existed and probably al
ways will Fortunately, however, for the
peace and well being of community, these
persons are always in the minority. This nu-
merical disposition appears to be part of ma
ture's benifcent scheme. Usually, ALSO these
individuals are able to make enough noise to
exercise a certain restraining influence upon
the majority. To that extent, therefore. they
sometimes serve useful purpose, but it is al
ways source Of bitter complaint with such in
dividuals that they are never able to gain the
attention of the great body Of citizens and are,
therefore, perpetually in the minority. Their
heads are held SO high in the air that they are
apt to lose sight of the human equation.
1t was David Harum who said that certain
number Of flees is good for dog, else the AMI
NAL would forget that he is dog. Likewise, a
certain number of reformers, sometimes de-
nominated kickers, is good for town, else the
town would sink to dead level of satisfaction
and forget that it should be up and doing-no
necessarily following the guidepost set up by
the reformers but looking about for sight Of
the best methods of Improvement which will in
the end bring the greatest good to the greatest
number

STREET PAVING.

Permanent pavements, laid in workman
like manner, remove the expensive necessity
that invariably arises for constant repair. re-
filling or resurfacing Any city wherein the
thoroughfares are marked by dog holes and
hurdles is anathema in the conversation OF vlsl-
tors from abroad, and even it's own citizens
make unfavorable comparisons. Anathema
and comparison may be odious yet they set the
CITY brain a-thnking as to the better course,
with usually the result that campaign for
permanent paving is inaugurated. Cause and
effect go together. no less in Keokuk than else
where but effect should be distributed without
discrimination as to locality. Favoritism and
partially, either for or against a contemplated
municipal Improvement, have no place IN the
scheme of progressive government.
It is not the part of The Daily Gate City, no
more than it is the part of any individual citi-
zen or taxpayer, to say what particular street
should be bettered and made sightabe. But
it is the general opinion that ninety nine per
cent of the city should not be made the
tsgoat'' in the selection of thoroughfares sub
ject to Improvement. Fairness demands an
equal distribution of burdens if street improve
ments are to be regarded as such.
Let all the streets of Keokuk be within the
circle of betterment When this is determined
upon, there will be less comparison with condi-
tons prevailing in Fort Madison, to the disad-
vantage of Keokuk.

Meredlth,s oracefuI Exit.

Sioux City Journal: Here are few
kind words for Ed r. Meredith: Mr..
Meredith. was director of the Chi
cago federal reserve bank when nomi-
mated as the democratic candidate for
governor of Iowa. The federal re-
serve board in December last had
passed a resolution declaring that
holders of political Office cannot hold
federal reserve bank oirectorships
and that present directors cannot ac-
cept political office. Immediately
after being nominated Mr.. Meredith
rendered his resignation as director to
the chairman of the federal reserve
board, and it has been accepted. In
resigning Mr.. Meredith obeyed the
spirit rather than the letter of the
federal reserve rule. He is not now
holding a political Office. He has
merely received the nomination for
one from the minority party in Iowa.
Under the rule his resignation could
not be called for until he was elected
and was about to assume the Office
of governor. AS the probability is
that Mr.. Meredith will not be elected
to the governorship, he might have
hung on to the bank dictatorship
throughout the campaign and there:
after. That he did not try to do SO
is to his credit 1t is to his credit il
he was thinking only of relieving the
reserve bank of embarrassment. 1t
is equally to his credit if he was
thinking it might help out his politi-
cal standing to place on record this
intimation of confidence in his cleo
ton. Whatever his motive, man is
entitled to commentator II he does
the right thing when he might have
done the wrong thing. Mr.. Meredith
did the right thing in getting out of
the federal reserve bank as soon as
he got into politics.

Good School for euardsmen.

Davenport Times: The country has
been informed by one of the highest
officers in the national guard, who is
at the Mexican border, that the
guardsmen are now privileged to take
part in one of the most elaborate
schools for the soldier that was ever
he'd in this country. He states that
while of course there is always the
possibility of need of the men being
ready on the border to prevent in
vasion, it. is not the only reason for
their being there. Thev will be
drilled and seasoned and made ex-
perienced soldiers and they will pre-
pare the officers who must be called
on to organize, drill and lead that
great army of volunteers, or con-
scripts it may be, which must be
formed in the event of war with a
first class power. The reason for the
holding of the men on the torder thus
is explained in two ways. both of
which are equally important to the
nation as whole.
