Want SPEED
LIMIT FIXED.
Commercial Club Favors Ar
rest of Speed rs
Will Ask Council to Instruct
Chief to Enforce the
State Law

At a meeting of the CONNER
cial Club held on Friday evening
of last week the Club went on
record as favoring an enforce
ment of the speed limit for auto
mobiles and motor cycles within
the city limits and the council at
their next meeting will be asked
to see that the ordinance is en-
forced against all people.
Washburn has been very free
from the automobile speeder but
with the large number of cars in
the city it was thought best to
practice the safety first" and
pass an ordinance before some
one was injured.
The club will also ask the
council to erect sign posts around
Washington avenue to make
vehicles keep to the right or
left and thus avoid having an
accident at this dangerous cor
ner. This is the only bad turn
in the city and with the large
amount of traffic at this point it
is deemed advisable to take all
precautions to avoid an accident
from vehicles colliding.

for the other side Of the investiga-
ton and lawsuit, the killing occur
ring in the Office Of Mr.. Stokes. OF
the three shots fired, two took ef-
feet and Mr.. Stokes died before med
ibal aid reached the building.
Stokes claims there was a struggle
between them and that he acted in
self-defence. It is known that i'll
feelings had existed between the
two lawyers in connection with the
lawsuit or investigation represented
by them on opposing sides.
Many lawyers flocked to Trabue
to offer him sympathy in the TRACE
dy-which he certainly needs since
he has stained his hands with the
blood Of his fellow lawyer. We
make the prediction here and now
that Trabue will in the end 60 scott
free--but in the event Of his convic-
ton the good Lord can be thanked
that no Ham Patterson will occupy
the Governors chair.

Henry Ford, the successful auto
mobile manufacturer, made the
statement from New York last Sat-
urday, that if the discovery claimed
by one Louis Enright of a fluid for
motive power fuel, should measure
up to the claims Of the inventor, he
would buy the formula. Enright
claims the mixture Of a green pow
der and water may be used as a
substitute for gasoline. While Mr..
Ford was in New York and doing
some talking, he did not forget to
mention that he would accept the
nomination for the presidency If
the people wanted him." While he
seemed to be sure of a good many
things, he was surer still that he
would not, even to the extent Of
one cent, finance a third party this
year. He said, further, that he was
not a candidate for the presidency,
could not regard himself in that
light, regards his alleged candidacy
up to now as a joke, but thinks it a
serious question as to whom the
joke is on.

Don't Overlook the Date. Thi.

That the State Of Arkansas has
landed a "pardoning executive" in
the person Of Gov Hays, we see in
an editorial in the Stuttgart Free
Press Of the 10th inst. The Free
Press states that scarcely a day
passes that Gov. Hays does not use
his power to release some one from
the State penitentiary and that crit
icism is being heaped upon him
from every side. The paper says
further that in scores Of instances,
the governor has overriden the de-
cisions of the courts of the state
and by the pardoning of men 50
convicted has said in so many words
that the courts did not know what
they we're doing Arkansas has the
sympathy of Tennessee in the mat
ter, for we have had more than one
Of that kind Of Governor. Big-heart-
ed Bob Taylor did not know how to
say no" but was never accused Of
lining his pockets by the sale Of par
dons Under Ham Patterson this
state was disgraced by the conduct
Of a pardon brokerage" business,
the like of which has never been
known in any other state Of the
Union--and which eliminated in
the pardon Of old Dune Cooper, the
assassin Of Senator Carmack and
adviser-in-chief to His Excellency
Governor Malcolm R. Patterson,
whose last attempt to get back into
public Office in Tennessee, finally
brought the people to their political

senses. If Gov. Hays is abusing the
pardoning power, the people Of Ar
kansas, who stand for justice and
are not afraid Of the "redneck" ele-
ment, with whom such tactics al
ways find favor, will sooner or later
have the opportunity to repudiate
him at the polls--and they will do
it, as Tennessee, late as it came, re-
pudiated all such.
