BROWN CROW KILLED
In RAILROAD WRECK
independence County Man Los
es Life in Freight Wreck on
Iron Mountain Near Wynne.

Brown Crow who was born
and reared near Hutson in this
county, was killed in a freight
wreck on the Iron Mountain
railroad at Princedale, nine
miles east of Wynne, about 7
o'clock Sunday morning.
Conductor w. j. Allen of
Wynne was killed in the wreck
and Fireman Walker and Ed
Hurley, George Williams and
James Deese, brakemen, all of
Wynne, were injured.
The six men were members
of work train crew. They
were sent out of Wynne at
6:30 Sunday morning on an ex-
ira freight to take 10 empty
cars to Earle and CraWfords-
vile. The engine was backing.
Going down grade rapidly
near st. Francis bay the tender
jumped the track, pulling the
engine and two ears with it.
The tender and one car rolled
down the 20-foot embankment.
The engine turned at cross an
giles with the track and rolled
over on the engineers side. One
car remained on the track.
Conductor Allen was riding
the engine. His body was found
beside the track, but was not
badly bruised. and it is believ-
ed he suffered heart failure in
jumping. Fireman Walker also
Jumped and was only slightly
bruised.
Engineer Crow remained at
the throttle. Both legs were
caught between part of the cab
and the rails. One was severed
completely. He remained con-
scious, however, and crawled
out of the wreckage.
The three brakemen were
only bruised and shaken up.
Engineer Crow was placed on
a special train to be taken to
st. Vincents infirmary at Little
Rock. Crow died as the special
passed Augusta, but the body
was taken to Little Rock and
prepared for burial and was
later sent tc Newport and TAX

SHOULD MARK
BALLOT PROPERLY

Several Initiative measures
will appear on the ballot in the
November election.
Frequently voters areneutral
on these questions and do not
wish to vote either way and
leave them unmarked. In this
case that ballot counts against
the amendment.
All of the measures have
been we'll advertised in some
newspaper in every county and
without much trouble voters
can easily secure a copy of
each of these measures, and a
careful reading will enable
them to determine whether
they favor a measure or not,
and after they have come to a
conclusion it is a simple matter
to cross out the words 'for the
amendment or against the
amendment" whichever way
they choose to vote, but every
voter should vote one way or
the other.
The value of the Initiative
and Referendum is in the pow
er it gives the voter to vote di-
rect for or against a law. 1t
gives him a chance for self
government, and if he does not
choose to exercise his right he
should not blame politicians or
machines" for making laws
that work against the people.

new OFFICERS WILL
TAKE CHARGE NOV. 80
State Election Board Makes
Announcement of Date For
Change of all CountyOfficers

All county, district and state
officers, except the five consti-
tutional state officers, elected
at the general election Novem-
Der Z will take the oath of OF
flee November 80, according
to a decision reached Saturday
at a conference held at Little
Rock between Secretary of
State Earle w. Hodges, Cover
nor Hays and Attorney General
Wallace Davis.
Formerly the new officers
assumed office Oct. 81. When
the consolidation of elections
law passed, by the last legisla-
ture, moved the date of the
election up two months. Mr..
Hodges announced he would
issue the commissions to Off
GERS dated December 81 or
January /.
Last week Mr.. Hodges dis
covered that it would be impos-
sible to commission county col
lectors later than December l
because Section 7042 ofKirby's
Digest provides that collectors
shall file their bond and have
it approved not later than the
first Monday in December, or
their offices shall be declared
vacant. The conference of the
state election board was then
called. resulting in decision
to have all officers take ONCE
November 30.
The five constitutional state
officers not affected by the
decision are the governor, at
torney general, secretary of
state, state auditor and state
treasurer. The constitution pro-
vides they shall take office
when the legislature meets in
January.
1t is probable several chang
es in the new election law will
be sought in the next legisla-
ture. Several members have
said they will introduce bills to
repeal the law. If the law is
not repealed it probably will
be amended by fixing a date
when officers shall take office
and have other changes made
in it. AS it was passed no date
was fixed and the matter was
left to the secretary of state,
who is authorized by law to is
sue and date the commissions
the officers receive.

The amount Of the appropria-
ton for Ohio's National Guard
was reduced by the Cox legisla-
ture so as to cripple it seriously,
the appropriation to provide five
new armories was repealed and
those of it's high officers who
were Republicans were charged
with incompetency and criminal
dishonesty. But the charges
could not be supported by facts
and the unappraisable value of
the heroic labors of the guard at
foodtime created public opin-
ion which restrained the hand
which was trying to wreck it.
Don't be fooled again.

FOR MEXICO BELLIGERENCY

During the Present Administration We
Have Seized a Mexican Port and
Sent Our Entire Army and Militia
TO Fight MexieanS While Armed
Mexican Forces Have invaded Amer
lean Soil and Fought Battles Against
Our People.
Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept US
out Of war"
Ask such men a short question. Ask
them, "Out of what warp
Did Mr.. Wilson keep US out Of the
European war? No. He has himself
in a formal address to congress spoken
Of the European war as "a war with
which we have nothing to do, a war
whose causes do not touch u.s." How
could Mr.. Wilson keep US out Of war
with which we have Hothing to do and
whose causes do not touch us?
Did he keep the rest Of the western
hemisphere out Of the European war?
No independent nation on this side OF
the world is involved In 1t; the only
people In 1t are the colonies Of Euro
pean powers and they had no voice In
their fate, for they were automatically
at war when their mother governments
went to war. Who kept Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Peru, out Of the Euro
pean war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep US out of war
with Mexico? No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In\his term we have seized
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept us out Of war with Mex
leo. He put an embargo on arms so
that American weapons would not be
sent across the boundary, and he re-
fused TO interfere In Mexican affairs.
When he left Office Mexicans liked
Americans, and Americans were safe
In Mexico Since he left Office Mexi-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep us out Of war with Mexi-
co? Not If words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep us out Of
the European war, and he did not keep
US out of war with Mexico.
Out Of what war, then? Detroit

WILSON FLExIBILITY.

We do not see why there should have
been any stir in the senate over the
discovery that President Wilson has
completely reversed himself in the mat.
ter of the proposed child labor law.
Senator BOrah was able to show that
Mr.. Wilson described this legisla-
ton in his Constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional, an "Obvi-
ously absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost houn-
daries of reasonable and honest infer
ence" and making it possible, if sus-
tanned. for congress to legisIate over
every particular Of the industrial or
ganization and action of the country"
That, we must confess, has also been
the Evening Posts view. But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fOgies, dating back to the time
when 1t was the custom to have fixed
beliefs and principles and stick to
them. The senator has evidently not
read Mr.. Wilson's letter in explaining
his change of front on the tariff COM
mission-that it is only a narrow man,
whose mind is stupidity closed to new
ideas, who does not alter his opinions.
By this test Mr.. Wilson is obviously
one of the brOadest minded men this
country has ever produced, for he has
changed his mind to date on the initia-
tive, referendum, recall, woman suf-
frage, the tariff commission, tariff for
revenue only, permanent diplomatic
service beyond politics, the merit sys-
tenn in the civil service, the proper
place OF Tammany Hall in the scheme
Of the universe, child labor legislation,
preparedness, Bryan, a continental
army-but why continue? 1t is a long
enough list to prove that Mr.. Wilson's
political views are not fossilized by
any fear of inconsistency. New York

Huerta was? Would we like our
most important custom house
seized and a million dollars of it's
receipts carried away? DO we
desire a nation to attack one Of
our seaports and shoot to death a
hundred of its citizens2 Would
we tolerate an army entering our
country allegedly to capture a
bandit and remaining encamped
for half a year?

National Guardsmen Enjoy
Life in Camp" says a Democra-
tic campaign bulletin. Since the
Democratic National committee
is thus trying to make politics
out OF the retention of the guards
men on the border, they must
not complain when the men and
their relatives at home pass crit
icism upon the management of
the Mexican fiasco. 1t is a Locr
rule that won't work both ways,
and it is a safe guess that when
it comes to making politics of a
military maneuver that calls for
a $13O. 900, 600 bend issue, there
will be more than one side to it.

of Shoes" said the Iron Duke,
second, another good pair of
shoes, and third, a pair of half
sOles." During the first ten
months operation of the Demo-
cratic tariff law, with industries
depressed in this country, our ex-
ports of mems shoes fell off a.
bout 13 per cent, From the time
of the outbreak of the European
war, August l, 1914, to May 81,
1916, we exported 1880, 900
pairs of mems shoes, valued at
$51, 655, 600, and all but a few of
them went to the fighting pow
ers. For the same war period
we have exported $4,000, 600
pounds of sole leather, valued at
more than $46,OOO,OOO. While
the Democratic party has made
political capital of their torn bod.

Democratic campaign mana
gers should not be so disappoirt
ed over the course of the Pro
gressives in going back into the
Republican party. In the Pro-
gressive platform of 1912 the
Progressives adopted a tariff
plank that was identical with
one previously adopted by a Re-
publican convention. In the diff
ferences that exist over the tar
iff question, we find the funda-
mental difference between the
Republican and Democratic par
ties. A Progressive who believes
in an America First" tariff
could not do otherwise than go
back to the Republican party.

Three years ago President Will
son first took the Mexican prob
lem to Congress, and he then de-
clared that an orderly and con-
stitutional and fair election should
be held in that country. Since
then he has taken no steps to Sc
cure this result-but his prote-
gee, Carranza, is supplying the
omission. Carranza has just de-
creed that an election shall take
place in Mexico, at which he will
be a candidate. In order that
the election shall result in 70
mischance choice of a president
for Mexico, Carranza will name
all the election officers, who, in
turn, will prepare all the list of
voters. Thus, none but Carrar-
"a men will come to the polls and
Carranza will be chosen. It is
evident that Carranza has studied
the model of Woodrow Wilson's
party to good advantage. This
is the method which the Demo-
cratic party in the South adopts
to keep itself in power. We shall
presently see how it will work
still farther south, in Mexico.
