Hon. '. A. Beeson of Morrillton is
candidate for Secretary Of State and
the following tribute is from next
door neighbor, J. 4. Livingston of
the Russellville Courier Democrat:
Mr.. Beeson is not a native of
Arkansas, but he las been here
eight or ten years, and no young
man who ever came to the state
has more thoroughly aligned him
self with every interest Of the
town, county and state Of his
adoption in the same length of
time. As editor of the Morriiton
Headlight he was quick to become
recognized as enc of the town and
county's most progressive and en-
thusiastie citizens. By his home
people he has been honored with
the Presidency of tie Board of
Trade and the Conway County Fair
Association. and every movement for
the development of town and coun-

ago he was nominated for represent
alive, his opponent being one Of the
oldest and best known citizens of
Conway county. whose name and
service in the ranks of democracy
was statewide. In the legislature
he soon proved himself ere of the
most active and influential members
in the Lower House, and so far as
orr Judgment goes, at least, this in

By starting the report that candidates

R.CENSURES
WILSON DELAY
Nation Is in Dilemma
Whether Germany
Yields or Not.

Gcrmsny's accession TO the latest de-
mands Of President Wilson would be
proof positive, Colonel Roosevelt de-
clared yesterday, that the same con-
cession could have been obtained when
the "strict accountability" note was
sent; Germany's refusal would find the
United States as impotcnt TO make
good its threat as it was fourteen
months ago.
Fourteen months ago" said Colonel
Roosevelt, "the Presidents strict &C
countability' note to Germany meant,
if it meant anything, at least what the
present note says. Unfortunately, the
Presidents actions in Mexico and as
regards other matters had been such
that Germany did not believe the note
meant anything, and acted accordingly,
and the Presidents repeated notes
since then, intersperscd as they we're
with speeches and statements such as
that of being too proud to fight did not
remove the impression.
Ship After Ship Sunk.
During these fourteen months ship
after ship has been sunk and many
thousands of lives of noncombatants,
including many hundred lives of WON
On and children, have been lost.
Tf Germany now does as the Pres
ident demands, it will be proof positive
that if he had chosen to take the
proper position at the time Of the
strict accountability note the lives OF
these women and children and other
rOncombatants would have been saved
and the causes Of friction with Ger
MANY wouh. have been removed.
IF. on the other hand, Germany
doec not do as requested, it is we'll to
remember that such q note as the
strict accountability note fourteen
months ago is objectionable, unless II
is backed up by the deeds TO make
the words good II Il was meant to be
taken seriously and to get results, 1t
