FEDERAL AID FOR
 ARKANSAS ROADS
Signing of Bankhead Good Road Act by President Wilson Gives State S1,272,750 if a Like Amount is Furnished.

The signing of the Bankhead good road act by President Wilson will mean big things for good roads in Arkansas if Arkansas will take ad- vantage of it's provisions for securing federal aid
 During the next five years the state should receive total of $1,272, ,750 out of the grand total of $75,000,000 appropriated by the act for the et :. couragement of road building in the various states.
 The amounts to be received an- nually are as follows: 1917, for the year ending July 1, S84,85O; 1918, $169,7OO; 1919, $254, ,550; 1920, $239,- 400; 1921. $424,250.
 1t is provided, however, that each year the state must provide an equal amount to be used on the roads, else the federal aid will not be available. Just how this can be done is a system that must be worked out. State High way Commissioner Owen is deeply in- terested in the possibilities of the scheme, and is devoting considerable study to it. He will call into consul tation county judges and road build CTS from all over the state to consult upon what plan can be submitted to the Legislature to secure for the state the advantage of this large amount of money.

PUBLICITY COST IS
 GREATLY REDUCED
Act. No. } Will Save Taxpayers Many Thousands of Dollars Over the Year Nineteen Four teen.

Publication of the proposed amend ments to the constitution and the ini- tlated acts to be submitted at the gen eral election November '. under the initiative and referendum, will cost only approximately one third as much this year as similar publication est in 1914. The saving is due to Act No. 5, the publicity act, initiated in 19lI.
 In 1914 the initiated acts and amendments amounted to seven col umns and their publication cost qp- proXimately S611.50 per county. or approximately $46,00O for the entire state. This year the amendments alone will make seven columns and their publication will cost the state S2Oo per county, or S15,000 for the en. tire state. The acts to be submitted this year amount to approximately four columns and will cost SIP per county, or S8,402 for the entire state.
 The publication of the II columns this year will cost $23, ,502, a little more than half the amount required in 1914 for the publication of seven columns. The publicity act reduced the time of publication from six weeks to four weeks and cut the price from Sl per square to soc per square in all papers, except those having a guaranteed circulation of more than 5,o00 copies. There are only four newspapers in the state having a cjr- culation larger than 1000 copies.

CAPITOL VIEW METHODISTS
 PAY OFF INDEBTEDNESS :

Little Rock, July 12-CapitoI View M E Church South, this week paid off it's indebtedness, through the un- tiring devotion of it's former pastor, the Rev. H. r. Buhler now of Pine Bluff During the four years of his pastorate he paid $2,500 out of his own meager salary toward the debt. He was paid Sl500 year, and was then sent by the last Conference to a S1,00G charge at Pine Bluff. But the interests of his former church still were on his heart, and this week he returned, raised S5,98O, and on Tues day paid the whole debt. The Board of Stewards are insisting that the church shall be named the Buhler Memorial in recognition of his splen- did work but he demurs against this action, declaring that what he las done was not for self-glory.

GOV. HAYS WILL
 FILL VACANCIES
Companies Reduced to Less
 Than Peace Strength by Rigid
 Physical EXaminations-per- centage Projections One-third.

Little Rock, July 13.-The physi- cal examination of the troops of the Arkansas National Guard is deeimat- ing their numbers most rapidly, and many of the companies have been re- duced to less than their peace strength of 65 men. Some have been cut down to as low as 43 men. The percentage of rejections is averaging about one-third. Officers and men alike are feeling the effect of a most rigid examination.
 It is not known just what means will be adopted to recruit the regi- ments, as the recruiting by the state has stopped, and all new men must come through the general recruiting service of the regular army. It is understood, however, that there is no danger of combining the companies. as the policy will be to maintain the present units.
 The appointments to fill vacancies caused by the rejection of commis- stoned officers will probably be an- nounced by Gov. Hays this afternoon. There is very large number of these places to fill, and great pressure is being brought to bear in the interest of various applicants. Efforts are be- ing made also to secure waivers on some of the officers who have been turned down for physical defects.
 It is rumored that Maj w. C. Brad ford, the assistant adjutant general of the Guard, will be given an appoint ment as major of the First Battalion, Second regiment, in place of Leon R. Smith, who was rejected because of his light weight It is reported also that Harry Stewart, the governors former private secretary, will be given a captaincy on the staff of the Second regiment.

CAMDEN's LOST DEMOCRATS

John W. wEsCOTT nominated Mr..
- Wilson at the st. Louis convention at
the desire of the President, who decided
that his claim TO that honor was weight
Ter than Governor Fielder's. There were
still other reasons for the Administration
to back Wescott against MARITIME. Before
he became Governor Mr.. Wilson admitted
to Jim" Smith that MARITIME was not of
senatorial caliber, but backed him be-
cause he was the peoples choice in the
preferential primary In the Senate Mar
tine has shown more independence than
was pleasing to the White House. But
MARITIME is the choice of the New Jersey
Democrats, who are evidently in no mood
to give the Administration carte blanche
Mr.. Wilson once remarked that Jim"
Smith and Nugent represented an insig-
nificant faction in the New Jersey Democ-
racy-'hardly more than 1000 persons"
The returns show that many more Demo-
Gratis than that are disaffected. There
seems to have been a paralysis of interest
among Democrats. In the senatorial
fights there was total Of 1905 Repub-
lican votes and of 1917 Democratic votes
In Camden, a ratio of about six to one.
The ratio should have been more like one
and one-half TO one on the basis of past
performances. Are Camden Democrats
becoming extinct?

its enthusiasm is so pure that II has be-
come spiritualized away above the betting

dollars, bet this way or that, is a vulgar
thing compared with the rare beauty Of
the breathless drama on the broad velvet

baseball was made TO celebrate.
Brooklyn greets us today for the death

things in the effort OF its champion.

Robert Carver, First Assistant County
Attorney, only about one liquor case in
ten ever gets to the trial stage. The
rest are dismissed. Carver said.
Forty-six of the defendants docketed to
appear for trial for infractions of the
prohibitory liquor law are women, ac-
cording to the docket
Figuring on the 1915 population of Shaw
nee County, the bootlegger cases docketed
there were at the rate of one to every 500
population. Keeping in mind that bootleg
gers docketed are not by any means all
the lawbreakers of that ilk plying their
trade in Kansas capital, 1t can be seen that
even the man who fails to order LIQUOR

MR.. FRAzIER's REJoINDER


Sr-In his letter accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency. at
Shadow Lawn, Mr.. Wilson gave us a num-
ber of elusive epigrams-he is past master
in the making of pithy phrases-this be-
ing one of them: I'VE must assess the past
in order to correctly judge the future" In
his appraisal of the past President wilson
feebly endeavored to show that the Demo-
cratic party-especially under the Wilson
Administration-was party OF "construc-
tive action" and that the Republican party
was one of destructive comment and
action"
1 felt that II was my duty to show that
this particular epigram was false In theory,
false in fact-a shadowy vision-a phan-
tasm. and ! cited the historic testimony OF
three Presidents, Buchanan, Cleveland and
Wilson, to corroborate my statement that
the Democratic party was the party of de
structive comment and action" Hence did
not refer to the 'panics and business de-
pressions" mentioned by IS" in his letter of
criticism of September 25, for the reason
that they were soap bubbles In COMPARISON
with the Buchanan and Cleveland panics,
and there was no thought In the minds OF
Republican Presidents of bringing those
baby panics to the consideration of Con-
gress as Presidents Buchanan, Cleveland
and Wilson were compelled TO do. Neither
was there any such frantic cry for belp dur
ing those "depressions' mentioned by "S."
as that made by the Farmers Alliance of
the State of New York during the winter
of 1914 In it's appeal to the farmers of the
West, In which It said:
A cry Of hunger and starvation comes
up from the heart of the great me-
tropolis-New York city. II comes
from the throats Of tens of thousands
OF American citizens who are without
bread. 10 ascends 20 heaven and is in
tensified by the tears and means of
starving mothers and famishing chill
dren men are becoming desperate as
the gaunt specter OF famine stalks
abroad unheeded by the pillage OF labor
and the ravishing Of industry.
Nor was any editorial published during
those casual Republican "dspressions" as
was published by the New York Evening
Post. which supported Cleveland for the
presidency. which said:
We must DO today what we have
never had to do before-call attention
TO the appalling distress which prevails
among the employed poor OF this city.
Thousands Of persons who have always
hitherto earned a decent livelihood are
sinking down into blank destitution,
from which recovery with broken health
and spirits will be difficult
"s" says the surplus in the treasury on
July /, 1914. was $4,000, 900. viii as"
kindly inform me what the treasury surplus
is today, with all bills paid up TO Septem-
ber !, 1857 JOHN w. FRAZIER
