County Debt Decreases.

Itis with pleasure that we note from the financial state ment recently published that the indebtedness of Woodruff Coun- ty has decreased during the past twelve months to the amount of about $2, 500.00.
 This is an exceptionally good showing our county officials have made, and especially when we note the big overfows of last year and the damage they did to our roads and bridges.
 Several new bridges have been constructed and other improve ments made necessitating extra expense for the county, and too we have been given two county farm demonstration agents with the assistance of some private donations.
 Besides the above the county has had to pay the bills of a few cost ly cases in circuit court during the past year one of which was the State vs Bratton. We con- graduate all of our officials in charge of the county's affairs and are glad to note that the in- debtedness has been so material ly reduced under their admins trations.

The Arkansas Gazette has de- clared against the repeal of the Statewide prohibition act. It says that Tt is to be hoped that the result of the election will show unequivocally that Arkan- sas intends to remain in the Pro- hibition column. It declares that Instead of the opponents of the sale of liquor now having to bring people over to their side, the shoe is on the other foot; it is the liquor advocates who will now have to bring people over to their side if they are to succeed in their effort to open the saloons again. :"

The Farmers Union went on record against the repeal of the statewide prohibition law. And that despite the fact that the act by which it is proposed to put saloons back into Arkansas, and undo all the good results accom- pllshed during the years of local upton, was initiated nnder the u'rect'on of Ben L.

Some Dangerous Facts.

Enough people to populate a
 ..1n the size of Ozark, Corning, pocahontas, ISc Clarksville, Arkan- sas City, Ashdown or other com n1nity 1 of about l, ,5oo inhabitants ' are needlessly killed each year in the U. s. by fire.
 Fayetteville, aside from it's ,+,dent inhabitants, or El Dorado conld be very nearly populated bv the number of persons maim- cd or injured through fire each wear in this country. Compared with Europe's record, this is a terrible loss. In Europe the reg nlation of fire hazard is very
 strict and intelligent, supported
 both by law and public sentiment.
 The attitude toward fire which
 has grown up in this country is strikingly illustrated by the ex- ample of our metropolis. In
 Jew York ten million dollars a
 year are spent to put out fires, and S15, 900. to prevent them. In Arkansas the public spends thousands of dollars a year in maintaining our fire departments to put out the fires and nothing (practically) to prevent them.
 If the buildings burned in the United States in one year were placed side by side on a through fare it would be long enough to reach around the borders of Ark ansas. Every ten blocks along this street, over a thousand miles in length, would be one house from which person had been crrried out seriously injured and every thousand feet would be the ruins of a building in which some one had burned to death.
 The way to save the lives and property of our citizens, conserve the created resources of the state and reduce the invisible fire tax of fifteen dollars a year that comes out of the pocket of every man in Arkansas at the head of family of five, is to have fewer fires, and having fewer fires is a matter of education and public sentiment, which is very largely almost entirely, in the hands ot public spirited individuals gen. erally, and more especially those o1 this class who preside over the editorial sanctums.

The Progressive Headquarters
has sent out the following letter:
My Dear Sir
This is the most important cleo
ton held within the history of this
state.
Important, because our people
| must now decide whether they
favor PROTECTION or FREE
TRADE.
Important, because there is soon
to be a change of Administration
and revision of the tariff, and if
our industries are to receive pro-
lection, their claims therefor,
should be presented by a protec
zionist, rather than Democrat
elected on free trade platform.
important, because a vote for
the Democratic nominee means
that you favor the free trade poll
cies of the Democratic party, as
embodied in the Underwood bill.
You should therefore, be most
careful in casting your vote on
November 9TH.
The official ballot will contain
three tickets and emblems, to-
viii
The Democratic Ticket, with
the Rooster as its emblem.
The Republican Ticket, with
the Elephant as It's emblem
The Progressive Ticket, with |
the BULL MOOSE" as It's EN-
blem.
If you vote the Democratic
ticket by stamping the Rooster,
you will be recording your vote In
favor of free trade.
Both the electors on the Pro
gressive ana Republican tickets
stand for protection and will 80
cast their votes for President, but
as the Republican party in this
District has no candidate for Con.
gress, he having withdrawn in ia.
yor of Judge Martin, the greatest
care should be used in preparing
your ballot.
Ii you vote the straight Pro
gressive ticket by stamping the
Bull Moose, you will then be
voting for JUDGE WHIT. p.

who stand for protection.
But if ) GU desire to vote for the
