Quota-Leftfo for Rifle Range

Z
Delaware's contribution to the
armed forces of the United States in
response TO President Wilson's call for
militia organizations of the several
states was promptly met. In Dover
and Smyrna the call stirred up consid-
cradle enthusiasm and the uniformed
soldier boys that walked our streets
have been appla0ded by every one
and honored by all in spite of many
sad scenes and pathetic partings.
The members Of Company G. have
spent the waiting hours in drilling
at the Dover Green and all were an
xious for the departure which took
place Thursday morning at 9. 36, for
New Castle State Rifle Range. Com
pany G left with a full quota of men
The physical examination debarred
eleven men. which is considered a very
low percentage. There were enlist
ments up to a half hour of the time
the company left the State Armory.
Headed by the Dover Band and es-
corted by citizens. the heroes Of the
day marched down State and LOCKER
man streets midst waving flags and
shouts of encouragement from the
town folks. many Of whom were trying
to keep back tears and choking
voices. Fully a thousand people were
at the station when the following
members of Company G departed:

 CAME CANCELLED

The game scheduled by the State Normal with Little Rock College for next Saturday has practically been called off, Coach Estes said today. The Catholics, members of the Ar kansas Athletic Association, cannot play the Teachers, members, and remain in the association, it is said. Little Rock has made arrangements for another game, and the Normal coach is negotiating for clash with the Monticello Aggies, at Monticello, to take the place of the Little Rock battle. In the mean time, Coach Estes is driving his men on the prac- tice field, devoting considerable at tention to the line, which was the one weak point in the Ouachita game last Friday. With an improved line, the Teachers will have the best football machine ever turned out at that in- stitution, it is believed. The first home game for the Pedagogues will be staged October 2S, when the Jones' boro Aggies, tutored by MT. Bran non, appears here.

COTTON MARKET
 AGAIN ADVANCES

Cotton took considerably longer step today than usual in it's daily upward climb, the futures markets closing this afternoon about 40 points net higher than yesterday This ad- vance carried all contract months on the New York market over the 18- cent mark, may options reaching close to Is 1-2 cents, while December futures closed at 1918 cents. As has been the case daily for week or more, the advances carried the prices to new high records, and much talk is now being heard of 20-cent cotton by Christmas, if not by Thanksgiv- ing.
 On the local market prices were advanced to F 1-2 cents, against l7 IA cents yesterday. Cottonseed ruled steady at $49 per ton.
 One reason why Conway is draw ing cotton from such a wide terri tory was shown when this mornings Gazette announced that the price of cotton reached F cents in Little Rock yesterday. Seventeen cents was paid at Conway last Friday. Saturdays price was 17.15 and yesterday when the Little Rock price was advanced to 17 cents, the prevailing price at Conway was IF IA.

ENORMOUS CROWD
 IS EXPECTED HERE
CIRCUS BIG ATTRACTION
Boys and Girls Club Exhibitions and School Fair will add Many
 to This Weeks Throngs.

With big circus, the opening of the girls and boys club exhibitions as the paramount attractions here Thursday, Conway is expected to be deluged with people. The largest crowds in the city's history are ex- pected. The circus alone, which will be the first to appear in Conway this year, probably would draw record crowd. But with the club exhibits in which practically every family in the county is interested, as an other big drawing card, crowds which far outnumber those attending the coun- ty fairs of several years ago doubt less will be seen here.
 Another attraction which had been planned to be staged at the same time-the Conway School and Civic Club carnival-has been set aside on account of the disbanding of the club, an announcement of which ap- pears elsewhere in today's Log Cab in Democrat.
 The Gollmar Brothers circus, said to be one of the largest in the coun- try, will arrive early Thursday morn- ing from Russellville, where it shows Wednesday, afternoon and night Only one attraction-at o'clock D. m.-will be given here, on account of long jump that is necessary in order to meet appointments on the following day. The circus travels in special train of about 40 cars.
 The first annual Faulkner county school fair, which will convene Fri day for session of two days will be held at the high school building, while the athletic contests held in connection with the fair, will be staged at the fair grounds. Numer- ous valuable prizes and medals have been offered by the business men of Conway to the winners in the vari- ous contests. Reports from various points in the county received ta those in charge of the fair indicate many entries in the contests. The contests will include both literary and domestic arts, as we'll as ath- letics. Prizes in agricultural supre- macy also will be given.
 In the boys and girls club depart ment, all kinds of exhibits of hand craft, poultry, stock, agriculture, etc., will be made. These will be on dis play at the fair grounds. The dis play probably will all but equal in size those of the county fairs, held heveral years ago. More than 100 prizes have been offered in this de- partment.
 Experts from the United States de- partment of agriculture will be here and make addresses along agricul- tural lines, according to c. w. Wat son, head of the department in Ar kansas. Moving pictures showing the work of the various boys and girls clubs will be exhibited free.
 Breeders of thoroughbred stock will have displays at the fair ground both days.

THE PROBLEM OF LIVING.

Meat that sold in 1915 for Is cents
pounl, is selling now for 40 cents a
pound, and many other things that we
eat have gone sky high in the way Of
price and the end is not yet-no relief
is in sight. Predictions are that
prices on all commodities that we
eat are going to steadily advance. 1t
is not predicted however that wages
are going to advance prOportionally.
The high price of meat has produced
a most peculiar situation. Indeed a
remarkable one, in that people wh0
ate meat regularly and often on low
wages few years ago, are now doing
without it on much higher wages.
When other things reach the extreme
high price that meat has mounted to,
what is the poor devil of wage Garner
going to do, is the question paramount
ia the minds of this class. What is
going to happen when they have to do
without vegetables and landlord in
the meantime jumps up his rent is
hard to conjecture.
10
that says men march and fight on
their stomaches. The same thing can
be said of men who work, Another
assumption is that they prepare" on
their stomachs. The logical conclus-
ion then is that the preparedness army
of workers cannot equip themselves
for very much of an offensive unless
is done to improve the
commisary department for the labor
ing masses. The extreme high prices
affect the men who labor most be-
cause their earning capacity is limit
ed But the men who engage in trade
or commerce regulate the prices in
accordance with the first cost. In
other words they advance the price to
meet their increased expenditures.
That is they sell their goods at an in
creased per centage of profit in order
to keep up their spending power, leav-
ing the poor wage Garner 10 foot the
bills.

TREACHERY OF ROOSEVELT.
What Roosevelt did to the Progress


What Roosevelt did to the Progress
i've party was enough.
Not in the history of American poi
itics has there ever been pulled OFF a
dirtier deal than that handed the Pro
gressives by Theodore Roosevelt. His
treachery to the party, a creature OF
his own making, was monumental and
unprecedented. In him these poor
misguided men had placed their trust
he was looked upon as the great lead
Ell who was to lead them on to victory,
hut alas, for the frailty Of the mind
instead of being led to victory they
were cast aside as so much chaff.
That it was a premeditated deal is
no longer doubted. His worshippers
were to he handed over bound and
gagged to the Republican machine
This part of the deal however went
astray. The traitor reckoned without
his hosts, with the result, that he was
unable to deliver the goods, and in
stead of Strengthening the Republican
party, that vehicle of corruption for
which he stood sponsor, tremendous
accession have been made to democ-
racy, the party of dignity and honor.
The net results of the whole dis
graceful business has been to make
stronger the hopes for a continued
democratic administration and the
further accomplishment of good gov
eminent.
In a sense Roosevelt's treachery Is
going to prove beneficial, in that the
eyes of his followers have been open
ed to the fallacies of the doctrines he
was trying to promulgate, and to the
corrupt practices of the party to
which he sought to deliver them. In
large numbers they are returning to
the folds of democracy, a party of
decency and responsibility.
The erstwhile Progressives are COM
ing to know that the republican
version of republicanism does not
stand for progressive Americanism.

THE TAXING OF END0WMENTS

Various opinions have been uttered
on the exemption of college endow-
ments from taxation. There is a bug
aboo in most everything, and this
pride of opposition has shown its
face. 1t is to be conceded that good
arguments lies on both sides-as far
as fair discussion of finance goes.
Chancellor Walter B. Hill has plead,
Remove without further delay this in
famous window-tax upon the human
soul" And there's merit in that
striking sentence.
Old Man Peepul. that being which all
politicians love, has made known a
sentiment in favor of the abolition of
tax on college endowments. Old Man
Peepul wants to vote on this measure,
and our idea is that the general as
sembly can do no less than refer the
constitutional amendment to the peo-
pie for their choice in the fall election
It's popular to cry Old Man Peepul
But, it's O. M. P. who pays the bills
and it's the same person who wants t
have a say about who should pay ant
who shouldn't pay.
Let the people vote on the question
and the blood will then be on another
as far as the general assembly is
concerned.

KEEP COOL.

Keep cool. This is easier said than
done. Anyhow keep cool.
Keeping cool does not always apply
to the weather, but some times to tenn
permanent. When difficulties arise we
overcome them by keeping cool. If a
bigger fellow than we are insults us
we avoid whipping by keeping cool
and sometimes the other fellow gets
ashamed of himself and apologies.
There is religion in keeping cool.
Some where in the Good Book we are
told if our enemies smite us turn the
other cheek. Christ kept cool else he
would not have lived and died to save
the world. We owe our redemption
and means of salvation today to the
fact Of his having kept cool.
The man who gets hot and chafes
under the collar at things when they
bn't go just right seldom accomplish
es anything. Diplomacy is another
name for keeping cool. The successful
business man is diplomat He goes
at things in an easy quiet manner. II
the man whom he is trying to do bus
Euess with gets mad and flies off the
handle he keeps cool, handles him
with gloves so to speak, the result
OF which is that he succeeds while tbs
hot headed fellow fails.
All down the corridors of time his
tory teaches us that our greatest mer
were those who kept cool. Even un
der the geratest stress ard highest
tension noted characteristic of the
worlds greatest men is that they were
always calm, deliberate, careful ani
consideration short they kept cool.
SO it is today with President Wilson
He has kept cool, had he not done SC
we would ere this have been engaged
ia war with Mexico or some othel
country. By so doing he has managed
to meet every emergency of these try
ing times in such a manner as t
command the respect and admiration
OF the entire world.
Keep cool

PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

Getting ready for the trade war that
is bound to come after the European
war is over and in striking contrast OF
the upraising of high tariffs that is pro-
posed by European nations. there is a
bill before the United States congress
which. if passed, will be long and
prodigious step toward the develop
ment of peace and prosperity among
the American nations.
The bill provides that on and after
July /, 1916, the United States will
admit free of customs duties all i'm
ports from any North OF South or
Central American countries that will
admit our products free. The purpose
of this bill is to enlarge our trade and
strengthen our friendship with the
South and Central American coun-
tries. A propaganda is being carried
OIL in favor of the bill by the National
League for All-American Customs.
This league includes in its membership
many of the leading manufacturers OF
the country and other public spirited
men, who realize that the removal of
all trade barriers is the surest ami
quickest way to permanent interna-
tional peace and worldwide prosper
ity-a prosperity that is nowhere be-
gotten of poverty.
do unto others as you would have
them do unto you" is nothing more or
less than reciprocity, and if we prac-
tice this as individuals, why not do the
same thing as nations. And let us not
stop with all American reciprocity.
Let us abolish all our custom houses
OF else put them to some use.
Let us engender a worldwide recip-
rocal prosperity. Let us recognize
that only in the fatuous philosophy of
protection" is there any dream Of
selling without buying. We want
prosperity, not only for America, bat
for all the world, and it is high time
Ter us to stop preaching and begin
teaching by example.
