SOME NOTABLE BIRTHDAYS
 TODAY.
January 27.

Samuel Gompers, head of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. an organi- zation of two millions of American workingmen, is 66 years old today. This is his thirty y-fourth year at the labor helm. He has been through some strenuous battles, not only with the opponents of labor organization. but with other leaders in labor unions. Gompers has fought consistently for many years for the cause of the Fed eration, which is to render employ ment and means of subsistence less precarious by securing to the workers an equitable share of the fruits of their labor. Gompers was born in England on January 27, 1850. He was a cigarmaker by trade, and in his youth became interested in the organi- zation of workers for collective bar gaining. He became a popular pub lie speaker and acquired the art of or ganization. He was later one of the founders of the American Federation, which bound together the various trades unions of the United States. Mir. Gompers is one of the leaders in the National Civic Federation, which is bringing labor questions to a better understanding with the public and healing the differences between capital and labor.

PURELY IMAGINATION

Thousands are called, or imagine | they are called, but only one hundred are chosen. This is true of the can |didates for Representative. Hundreds have announced, only to fall by the way-side with q serious attack of cold | feet Reports from the counties that have already held their primaries are i that high-graio of citizenship is be- ling chosen. and the next session of J the General Assembly should be one devoted strictly to business and to an earnest and conscientious purpose to | lift the state out of the financial dol drums in which it has been drifting for several years. All the candidates for Governor are pledged to measure
 for political relief, and with economic Administrations and a full restoration
 of confidence in administrative func-
 tions the ensuing four years should
 see the state once more upon a sure
 cash basis
 Pulaski county, which has just nom- lnated four of its strongest and most Representative citizens, will offer candidate for the speakership of the
 House in the person of w. B. Brooks,
 who has already served in the lower
 House, and is an experienced law
 maker. Half a dozen other prospec-

NATIONAL JEWISH RELIEF DAY

Washington, Jan. 27.-Today is the day appointed by President Wilson, on which all public spirited citizens may contribute to the funds now being raised for the relief of the Jews in the war zone. The American purse strings have been loosened many times since the great war broke out, but never in a more worthy cause than today's it is another case of Belgium only wider in extent and more pitiable in it's geography, for the Jews who are left homeless and friendless in Eu- rope are spread in all lands. No ties of kinship or religion bind them to any of the nations. They were the tillers and the workers. having little to do with the governments or the bigger affairs that have caused their ruin.
 Long prosecutions in Russia and other countries have made the Jew an object of pity in America. The American Jews have been carrying the load for years, and their aid may be counted in millions of dollars, besides untold energies for the lifting of the heavy yoke of taxes, religious oppres- sion and abuse.
 The Jews al 1 now in a more deplor-

able condition than ever before. Mill lions of them have been driven from their homes without warning, de- prived of an opportunity to make pro vision for their most elementary wants, causing starvation, disease and untold suffering. The full, frightful story is yet to be told, for it is diff cult to gather the full story of the fate of these millions in the war-swept zones. Enough is known, however, to arouse the people of America.
 The American Red Cross is today receiving contributions from all parts of the Union, and the fund is expected to swell to goodly sum so that the relief will be subtantial and will rep resent in full the generosity of Ameri- ca to a strcken race.

p1lBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

Another effort will be made in the h 1ovislature of 1917 to secure the en- o.tn,on+ of an adequate law for the vocation of a Public Service Commis- |son Such commissions are provided
 |iO many of the states, and have prov |en very efficient in the regulation and oversight of public service corpora |tions A proposed bill was intro |duced in the last Legislature, but it was so long that the legislators gen |erallv were suspicious of it, and it was civen scant consideration. The Public Service Commission of
 oklahoma has fifty employees, and that
 Inf Missouri has one hundred, while
 tbere are only six in the Arkansas
 Railroad Commission, including the Commissioners themselves. There are
 |tbirtv-fve statisticians along in the Missouri Commission. Moreover, the |fees and taxes payable to the Commis- sion make it more than self sustaining. The scope of the Arkansas Railroad
 |Commsion has been gradually broad |enng. but those who see it in the pos
 abilities of much greater good are not
 |content to let it rest where it is. An
 |effort will be made to secure action on
 |the bill early in the session so that it
 Twill ot be tracked later on.
