Annrecinte The Star.

W. B. Frye, living at Crystal Hill, near Board Camp, writes The Star n letter Of warm appreciation, first because six years ago it caused him. with his family, to leave Texas and come to Polk county, where we have good health in our old age, and, second. because it keeps him well informed in county and state affairs and thereby helps him to vote intelligently. He also invites the editor to come out his way and see the big acorn fattened hogs, and the progress among the people in clearing land, building, etc. He also extends warm invitation to the editor tO stop at his house and share in the good things his table pro- vides all of which sounds good and some day the editor may fool Mr. Frye by doing that very thing.

THE PEOPLE STAND BY FRIENDS

 The Star eontended that it would be serious thing to see man turned down for giving his efforts fearlessly for the right--that such would be warning to all men who aspired to hold office to serve the powerful few. and thus retain their good will.
 And when the returns were in 1t was evident that the voters had the same idea Otherwise. why should such Republican states as Kansas and California. have given great maiorities to Republican candidates For governor, and then throw their electoral votes to Wilson7

COTTON GOES HIGHER.
Sales at Above i9c Are Common
 3.fe0 Bales This Year.

On account of the rush, incident to the effort to get election returns, the matter of getting cotton report last week was overlooked. but that did not prevent the price from going steadily upward until it IS ranging form i9 to I94c. and some partlcu- larly good staple is bringing even more than that. Those who have been holding out a few bales Tn the hope that the price would reach Poe are beginning to think 1t will soon reach that mark During the last two weeks 370 bales have been in Mena, which brings the total sold in Mena up Co 3,i6O bales. For the corresponding period last year, l,ii2 bales had been marketed, 2 ,220 in 1914 and 5000 in 1913. The price last year for this period ranged from i.05 to if.25 per pound.
 The government ginners report for the period up to November l shows about the same disparity as compared with last year as does the amount sold. The report shows that for the period ending November 1, there were 3,222 bales ginned from the crop of 1916 as against 932 Tor the same period in 1915.

THE PEOPLE AND THEIR LAWS.

The people of Arkansas have again demonstrated their wisdom in using the initiative and referendum -the powers to enact and pass on the laws under which they would tive.
 They have taken another Step in proving that the principle of self government is workable with an in s.ell;gent people--that it is right
 The voters of Arkansas, by more than to 1, approved Act Noi, a rigid measure against corruption in elections. particularly aimed at rot- tenness in party primaries.
 They showed under Act No. ?. intended to annul statewide prohi- bition and all other anti-liduor laws on our statute books. This is a most decisive y:atory for good goy- ernment and good morals.
 They gave Amendment No i2 a big majority, showing thair desire to have better schools and more education for their children. and by so doing removed a restriction that prevented taxpayers from giving added supporh to their schools when they saw 'he need and the de- sire.
 Amendment No. i3 was defeated. This, in general, was a good provis- ion. worthy of adoption, giving as 1t did. more powers to voters to enact laws they desire, and less power to the legislature and courts to put to naught the peoples expressed de- sires. But this was voted down be- canse there was great scare that ii would undo the statewide law. and would allow cities or counties to vote in saloons. There is little doubt but this scare was wholly groundless. but 1t did the work. But Arkansas can wait another two years for that law. and by so do- ing. may get one somewhat im- proved

No paper run on the old basis can long maintain itself and pay from three to four times the usual price for it's white paper.
