en about the time for assessing their property for taxation comes around, and when it comes to producing the tax list made out by thieves, murder CTS and other criminals as conclusive evidence of their wealth simply caps the climax.
 Says Statement Is Distorted
 "The governor says referred to the Jim Sale case. This is not true. I never referred to that case either di- rectly or indirectly. He may have felt that he was not justified in grant | ing Sales pardon and that some eX- planation was due from him. He un- dertakes to explain his action by pub fishing letter from me in regard to ! that case, which letter shows on it's face that 1 refused to recommend the pardon. He attempts to twist and distort my statement in which l re- ferred to the letter he published in which I recommended a pardon re- quested by my brother, saying, The judge says that I have failed to grant pardons in cases where the applica- tions were presented by his brother when he refused to make recommenda- tions. Is he angry because l failed to favor his brother in every easel The language I used was as follows: Tn his attempt to show an inconsis- tency on my part he refers to one case in which my brother was inter- ested in securing a pardon and that l recommended it, but he fails to state the same brother was interested in se- curing other pardons where l refused to recommend clemency.' 1 would not accuse the governor of knowingly and willfully misquoting me, but l do say that he is exceedingly careless and reckless in handling the truth.
 Says Governor Sidesteps.
 ''The governor seeks to avoid fur ther discussion of his pardoning rec ord by attempting to turn the light from his record as governor to mine as circuit judge. do not object to a discussion of my record, but l assume that the general public has no special interest in discussion of my official acts in the jffiudge's office. If l thought so. I would take pleasure in inviting a discussion of my official course and a comparison of my record with his as circuit judge. What 1 say in this re- gard will simply be to answer his re- ference to my acts as judge. In his statement of last Sunday the governor makes use of the following language; It is also true from the signs of the times from what such men as Dave Goodeet of Ozan and Luke Monroe and Judge Trimble of Washington and many others in the judges district say. that there will be a change of judges, and especially in his judicial district. For in their own language they say that more people were par doned by him in one county in his dis trict. Hampstead, than 1 will pardon during my entire time that l am in the governors office. Whether these gentlemen are correctly quoted by the governor I do not know, but l do say that regardless of who is responsible for the statement it is a slanderous in- dictment against the high character and standing of the people of Hemp .>.~->---~-~.~->-~-~~>~~~>

PROPOSE TO SEEK OIL
Camden Plans 10 Form Company of
 Local Capitalists.

Camden, Jan. 29.-Though the Stan dard Oil Company capped a well 5000 feet deep near here last summer, de- claring that no oil could be found, and though another well underwent the same history about five years ago, all oil companies renewed their leases on Ouachita county lands this year.
 Five of the largest oil concerns in the country maintain permanent dis tributing stations here and have greatly enlarged their plants during the last year or two.
 These facts lead the Public Service Bureau to the conclusion that there is oil in the county and that the wells have been capped to suit the conven- fence of the oil companies rather than the public. Secretary Warren T. King announced today that a plan was on foot to establish a company here to bore for oil. Local capitalists will be asked to subscribe at home, the re- mainder will be put on the market by advertising.

Says Governor Dodges Issue

"The governor devotes considerable time and space trying to show that the criminals pardoned by him were poor people by publishing a list of their property as listed by them for taxation. In the first place l have never stated that they were all veal thy people, but what l did say was that as a rule they were either promi- nent and well-to-do or that they had friends or relatives who were able to employ lawyers and politicians to se
 cure their pardons and this is fact the governors tax list notwithstand
 ing. No one knows better than he does that property owners are only re- uuired to assess their property at 50 per cent of it's true value, and in ad
 dition to that it is matter of com mon knowledge that even good citizens get to feeling awfully poverty-strick-

AMENDMENT NJ. I4
 STILL HAS CHANCE
WILL TAKE COMPLETE RETURNS TO DETERMINE STATUS OF
 ROAD MEASURE.
VOTE HEAVY AGAINST ACT 2
Republicans Gain a Few Votes in the gislature-6rough's Estimated Majority For Governor Is
 Over 5o,0oo.

Official returns received from 30 of the D counties and practically com plete returns from all but few of the other counties still left in doubt whether Amendment No. IA, the road bond amendment, will be adopted The additional returns did not change the status of the other amendments.
 It is believed the returns received represent more than three-fourths Of the total vote cast and indicated that the vote will be one or the heaviest ever cast in the state The total vote accounted for was 109,667
 With the returns received Act No l, the primary election law, and Amendment No. F, the school amend ment, were assured of adoption, and it was certain that Act No. 2, the local option measure. will be defeated by practically a tVs-to-one vote The vote showed that Amendment No. f3, the initiative and referendum, will nor be adopted
 The vote stands.
 For Act No. l, 62,127; against, 26.-- S89.
 For Act No. ?, 36.4s2; against 7s.- 175.
 For Amendment No F. 6S,936; against. 3O.51f
 For Amendment No. 13. 42,515; against. 47.554
 For Amendment No II, 52,23S; against. 41,4SS.
 Returns from the interior of the state from Tuesdays election indi- cate that the Republicans will have six or seven members in the next Leg islature. It is practically settled that five Democratic nominees were de- feated. with prospects Of Republicans winning in two or three more coun- ties. Judge o. II. Sumpter was de feated by Houston Emmory, former Republican, who ran as an independ- ent candidate. The last Legislature contained only three Republicans, who occupied seats in the lower house They all hailed from the remote noun tain regions of North Arkansas. It is estimated tbat about 10000 votes were cast in the election. and Dr. Brough's majority for governor will be over 50,0o0 The Republican vote fell off in all the larger counties in the state. The negroes i'll Little Rock and the black bell of Pulaski County refused to support the Republican nominee for goverEor because the leaders denied them admission 10 their ward and precinct primaries or meet ings. This condition also prevailed Tn a number of counties where the negroes usually poll large vote.

PLANT TREES ALONG ROADS
Their Value in the Hot, Biistering Days of Summer Can Hardly Be
 OVerestimated.

The time will come, SaNs New ter sey society that is devoted to the ad- vocacy of roadside planting. when trees will line both sides of our rural roads. That is all optimistic observation but there Is probably good deal of truth back of it. The farmer everywhere is undoubtedly beginning to show greater pride and interest i'll the appearance of his place. The city residents invasion and the consequent establishment of summer homes' and country estates" has set new standard in many con- munities.
 It requires little imagination to fancy how quickly q sunny, blistering hot. dusty road could be transformed if the farmers whose property abuts on it along stretch of two or three miles would all agree to line it with saplings this fall. The work could be done in few days when little else about the farm requires attention. The improve ment would bespeak a spirit of prog ress and enterprise and in few years time, would benefit the planters far more than it would benefit the casual tourist. It would go fur toward sub. duing dust and it would make the trip of the farmer and the farmers family, to and from his home, much more com fortable and much pleasanter. It would be, in short, a splendid investment.

Tear Down Wooden Fences

Get rid of the wooden fences and you will help get rid of rats, flies and mosquitoes. So says Dr. John D. Blake, health commissioner of Balti- more. Doctor Blake believes that much disease and sickness is brought about by the wooden fence
 First of all the wooden fence is an obstruction to proper supervision of the premises by the police," the com missioner said "The presence of rub bish, stagnant pools and other insani- tary conditions in yards cannot be de tected by the police or health officials as long as they are hidden by wooden fences. The back fence is an excellent hiding place for burglars and tramps at night. If a burglar manages to jump the fence he can take his time getting into the house. There is no need for him to hurry, as the fence keeps anyone from seeing him.
 'The wooden fence prevents the proper circulation of air Persons liv. ing in houses surrounded by high wooden fences do not get the real ben efits of pure, fresh air. This is detri. mental to the health.
 Rats, flies and mosquitoes carry germs and spread disease. To do away with disease we must exterminate these. The dilapidated wooden fence attracts bugs of all descriptions. Rats gnaw at the wood and dig holes under and around it. These holes become filled with water and in time are ex- cellent breeding places for flies and mosquitoes.
 ''The fact that the wooden fence hides all this dirt and filth is power full argument why 1t should be done away with. What woman would allow dirt, garbage and other refuse matter to collect in her back yard if she thought her neighbors saw it? Every body has more or less pride, and u each back yard was thrown open to the view of the neighbors conditions would be greatly improved"

House Jr, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee; c. C. Kavanaugh, chairman of the Pulaski County Dem ocratic Central Committee. with state, county and city officials, led the pa rade. During the day Chairman House issued the following address:
 "As chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. l want to urge the people of Little Rock and citizens of the entire state, to form and march to celebrate the greatest victory that has been won since the foundation of our government. It was the West and the South pitted in this great struggle against the East, and the story has been told-the re-elec- ton of President Wilson. 1t was not known until Thursday night at II o'clock definitely that we had carried California. History will show in times to come that Mr. Wilson is one of the greatest men that ever lived and it will further show that he has done more for the American people in less time than any man that has occupied the White House.

 Farm Vote the Factor
 There are several great outstanding facts concerning the result of the cleo tion one of which is that labor, in all the big industrial states except Ohio. declined to give it's undivided support tO President Wilson despite his claim to 1t on the score of having persuaded congress to pass the Adamson "eight- hour bill. New York Pennsylvania Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, In- diana, all gave the Republican candi- date pluralities. and Ohios vote in fla vor of Wilson is not certainly to be at tributed to the labor vote.
 Another interesting development was the independence of the West, which is asserting that il elected president without the aid of New York and Penn sylvania and other big western and central states. When it was found. early in the evening of election day. that the empire state had gone for Hughes, the newspapers of the metrop- oliS, even those that had supported Wilson, conceded the victory to the Republicans. without waiting to hear from hn turns came in from these regions, if was found that the farmer and stock raiser had decided the election
