CENTRAL COMMITTEE
 MAY FILL VACANCY
P. o. Scott, Van Buren, Director in National Bank-lneligible to Serve as Presidential Elect or, Says National Chairman.

Little Rock, Aug. 24-It appears that the State Central Committee will be called upon to fill anotser vacancy in the list of Democratic nominees for presidential electors from this state. According to telegram received by State Chairman Joe w. House, Jr., P. D. Scott of Van Buren, is ineligible because of the fact that he is a direct or in the First National Bank of Van Buren. Vance C. Mccormick, Ma tional chairman, wired Chairman House as follows:
 1t is imperative that no officer of the United States or officer or di- rector of a national bank should be nominated for presidential elector so such officers are constitutionally dis qualified. We must not take the haz- ard of losing an electoral vote through the selection of a candidate who is not eligible. Please confer with your na- tional committeeman immediately and see to it that this provision is observed in your state. If any candidate who is an officer of the United States or officer or director of national bank has been nominated, he should either resign as candidate for elector or give up the official position he holds. I urge you to give prompt attention to this important natter"
 It is understood that this rule will apply to none of the nominees save Mr. Scott.

The Raes Here Assin.

The Ida Weston Rae Company of ten
persons played the first three nights Of
the week in our city, and had q crowded
house each night. st. Francis people
like this company and their work and
have given them hearty support.
Mrs. Rae, the manager of the COM
pany, is a talented woman. She writes
her own plays, designs her scenery and
arranges the details for every attrac-
ton she stages. Their costumes are
rich and suitable, and each has a part
to which he seems admirably adapted.
Mrs. Rae is especially charming in heJ
acting and Jacques Raymond Is sure
some pianist.
AS we are off the main line not all the
first class plays come our way, and both
town and country show their apprecia-
ton of the Raes, by turning out en-
masse every time they see fit to make
our little city. They expect to return
in about two weeks for another engage
ment.-St. Francis Newspaper.

as Cow creek, would then be in a
rather embarrassed position if some
BODY remembered the fact-and some
body probably would.
The advance of a hostile army through
the center of the country would not be
as picturesque as the bombarding of
New York or siege Of San Francisco,
but it would be a picnic parade for the
enemy and would split the nation in
two. The food supplies of the east
would be cut off and by use of railroads
an invading force would soon be collect
ing enforced contributions from Hutch
inson, Kansas City, st. Louis and Chi
cage. It would be easy money for any
European nation and enough might be
picked up in that way TO make good q
large part OF the debt incurred in the
last two years.
Of course, if Germ any gives up its
military ideals and England sets fire
to its navy, there need be 10 fear of
such an invasion. But otherwise there
viii be much better prospect for war
on American soil than there was twenty
years ago for the United States to at
tack Manila. If the English or the
Germans or the Japs ever do try to get
even with the United States they viii
find their excuse and their entrance in
Mexico, and their first march viii be to
the wheat bins and pig pens of Kansas.

The Worth Of a Bow.

|. What is a boy worth? What IS az
education worth? An Indiana jury
awarded S599.99 for the killing of boy.
A friend Of mine who is a superintend-
ent in West Virginia, called that award
an outrage. 1 asked him why. He
answered; ITO say nothing of the
value Of the boys personality and all
that boy is to his father and home,
the commercial value of a boys time
that Indiana jury" I asked him how
he made the calculation. He said:
''You find the value of a boys time at
school by substracting the earnings of a
life of uneducated labor from the earn
ing OF a life of educated labor" Then
he gave me calculation that I have
used this year before every institute,
for 1 am anxious to get into the daily
papers, to have it carried to every
schoolroom and upon every blackboard,
50 that pupils will carry it home and
discuss it with their parents.
He said: eff an uneducated man
earns $3.50 day for 500 days in a year,
he does very well and if he keeps it up
for forty years he will earn $3.50 x 500
x 40 or S18, 900, and educated man is not
generally paid by the day, but by the
month and by the year. If you will
strike an average of the earnings of
educated men, beginning with the
president of the United States, who
earns $50, 900 year, the presidents Of
the insurance companies and of large
railroad companies, and run down the
scale until you come to the lower walks
in point of earnings among educated
men, you will admit that 81 600 is a
low average for the earnings of educa-
ted labor. For forty years you have
$40, 600 as the earnings of an educated
man. Subtract S18, 900 from $40, 900,
and the difference, or $50, 900 must rep
resent the value of boys time spent
at school getting an education.
You will admit that a man who works
with his hands at unslilled labor puts
forth as much muscular effort as a man
VINO earns his livelihood By his wit and
education. Now if 500, 600 represents
the value of time boy spends at school
getting an education, what is the value
Of day spent in school?
The average school life of every boy
and girl in Massachusetts, is seven
years of 200 days each; let Us say that
it takes four years more to get a gooC
education Reckoning eleven years OF
2C0 days each, you will find that 22O(
days at school are equal to 1000 anC
a simple division on the blackboard VII
bring it home to the comprehension Of
every boy that each day at school, pro
perly spent must be worth ten dollars
One director asks whether it is VIC
lation Of the compulsory law if farm
er keeps at home his eleven year old sol
to pillow, because it costs one dollar 4;
day to do it. While he IS putting on
dollar in his own pocket, he is robbing
the boy of ten dollars in the shape O.
future earning capacity. Is not tina
high-handed robbery by the father O

District Newspaper Men.
Max Anderson's twelve-column an
nouncement as candidate for the Re
publican nomination for congress in the
Sixth district didn' t appear to make any
great hit over the district with lot OF
newspapers. MAX IS accused of garb-
ling some of his clippings, and as was to
be expected, he is being taken to task
for it. If Mr.. Anderson is IS bright
as his announcement would have the
people believe, he viii change his tao
tics somewhat in the future. The be-
trayal of private correspondence and
garbling of clippings is not going to
help him. This layman Is a warm per-
sonal friend of Max Anderson and is
sincerely sorry to see him adopt this
course he has evidently selected. To
continuously insinuate that the newspa-
per men who have chosen to support
Benton have been bought up" is the
siIliest kind of twaddle and an insult to
the editors of the district. It is all
right for the Democrats to peddle that
kind Of slush, for they are most all
fired hardup for material, but for a
Republican candidate to fall for it pas
ses understanding. If Mr. Anderson is
nominated he is going to need the sup
port of everyone of these editors and
their friends.-Osborne Farmer.
