MILITARY SPIRIT
 STRONG IN STATE.

Little Rock, June 3O.-(Special,)- Not since 1898, when the Spanish-Am- erican war called oI. two regiments Of the Arkansas State, Guard, as it was known at that time, has the military spirit been so strong in Arkansas as it is today. There has been some diff fculty in recruiting the two regiments of the National Guard to the full strength, because apparently. the country does not yet fully realize the gravity of the situation. Those who are interested actively in the mobili- zation of the troops are enthusiastic and look with slight favor upon the "slackers" who have no family ties to deter them from enlisting, In some rare instances, much feeling has been aroused by the sighting remarks made by those too cowardly to enlist tn 'mselves, and lacking in sufficient patriotism to see the unselfish sacri- flee of others.

It must have been a bitter dose for a man with as much dignity as CarranZa claims to have to be compelled to eat crow and release those prison CTS, but possibly he contem- plated the other alternative Of having a double handful of whiskers jerled from his mug. The only way that Mexico can be taught anything is with force. They are not capable Of believing that the American in tentions are good. We with drew from Vera Cruz to show them that they had nothing we wanted. They attributed our withdrawal to fear of them. Nothing but force will ever make good MeXicans.

He says that a friend of his will introduce the repeal bill, and that he will give it all his influence. I promises to be a warm fight. for consolidation has some very arden advocates. as we'll as vigorous opponents. The proposition has been defeated many times in the legislature before it's final enactment into law by the session of 1915.

appealing to mankind as jury for verdict between the American colonies and the government of Great Britain. Tn the controversy betw n the parties, a controversy which involved the rights of the human race, the verdict, being in favor of the colonies and of human rights, was Immediately fruit ful in creating public opinion against the rule of tyrants in other countries.
 The years of the American republic have been notable beyond any similar period in the history of the human race. This era has been marked by a spread of popular government over large areas of the world. As w stand today there is not a despotism exist ing among nations of any proportions on the face of the earth. The rights of man cover the earth as the waters the sea or as the ski the globe. The world owes this marvellous develop ment. so full of beneficent effects, t. tie pdJIlOlS W IO udlSu to uCIs llIS autocratic English king.
 Simultaneously with the spread of gov eTnments founded upon the ropu lar will there has developed in the world an era of industrial activity of the spread of popular education and a growth of moral sentiment such as mankind never knew before That is what makes the declaration so impor tant in tn history of mankind. It is not the document, a mere bit of print ed paper with the names of the sign CTS at the bottom. It is not the the ory of popular government in and os itself It it the fruitful results that have grown from the living idea em- bodied in that paper. The right to manage their own political affairs af tre their own way gave the people such an interest in the government that immediately they saw to it that that gov rnment should be conducted in such a way as to secure for all the people liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. Not only mems lives were safeguarded from tyrannical vengean- ce, but the property of the 1ople was protected from stupidity.-Lcs Angeles Times.

PEACE TALK EVIL
German Chancellor in Sensa-
tionaI Speech to Reichstag.
No Conclusion of War Except
With TeutOnic Victory.

Berlin, June Via London.-A
profound sensation has been caused
by the great speech made Monday
before the reichstag by Chancellor
Won BethInann-H o1lweg in which he
declared that any further suggestions
OF peace by Germany would be futile
and evil. His eloquent appeal to the
nation to hold on until victory was
theirs and the categorical defiance he
hurled at England were greeted with
thunderous applause. AT the con-
clusion of his speech the chancellor re-
ceived tremendous ovation, the
cheering being renewed again and
again; all parties Joined in the ova-
tion with the exception of the con-
servatives and the socialists who Sc
ceded with Doctor Liebnecht. The
chancellor appealed for the unity of
all parties, declaring that political
lines ought to be obliterated d-ring
the prosecution of the war. The con-
clUsion of his speech brought almost
the entire house to their feet in a wild
outhurst of enthusiasm.
Die With Honor.
4 see the entire nation he said,
lin heroic stature fighting for its fu-
ture, our soldiers and brothers fight
ing and dying side by side. There we
see the equal love for home in all. The
sacred flame of love of h me steels
every heart so that they defy death
a heart completely dried up can es-
cape the affecting impression of the
great primitive strength of this peo-
pie
My belief in my people and my
love for my people gives me a convic-
ton firm as a rock that we shall fight
and conquer as we have fought and
conquered hitherto. Our enemies wish
t. let it go on to the end. We fear
neither death nor devil. not even the
hunger devil which they wish to send
into our country.
Refers to Navy Victory.
h The men who fight out there
denburg, our proud bluejackets who
showed Albian that rats bite, are
fashioned from a breed that knows
how to bear privations also. These
privations are here. l admit it calm
ly and openly even to foreign coun-
tries, but we will bear them.
I'm the fight against hunger we also
will make progress. Gracious heaven
allowed a good harvest this year. 1t
will not be worse but better than in
the previous hard year. This calcula-
ton of our enemies on our economic
difficulties will prove deceptive.
Another of their calculations was
sharply corrected by our young navy
last week. This victory will not make
US boastfuI. We know that it does not
mean that England is beaten. But it
is a token of our future wherein Ger
many will win, for herself and also for
smaller peoples full equality of rights
and lasting freedom of sea routes now
closed by Englands sole domination

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says o noted authority.
Tine kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it otter remains to irritate and inhame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
fiQm your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutraliZe the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneye and>t causes np bad
effects whatever.

CLEAN UP PRECAUTIONS

Citizens should get an early start
this year in making up their minds
to use proper care in burning rub
bish when doing their spring clean
UP work. Each spring many fires
result from the fact that rubbish
piles are burned either too near to
buildings, are left in charge of in
competent persons, are started on
windy days, or, left alone, are
thought to be dead, when in fact
they are just slumbering.
Make this year a clean year in ev-
cry way. Prevent the possibility of
a fire by entering earnestly into the
work of fire prevention. Teach the
children the danger of handling mat
ches. Keep gasoline or kerosene
out of the house. Place one or more
fire extinguishers about the house
and barn and show those whom you
find to be careless the danger. In
terest them in a clean, wasteless,
trashless community Do this and
it will be more effective in the pre-
vention of fires than all the laws
that can be enacted by any legisla-
ture or ordinances to that end A
tidy housekeeper is the worst enc
my of fire waste. This is conceded
by insurance companies, and We ap-
peal to you to be of this class and
help the Fire Marshal Department
in it's work for fire prevention, which
is for you and your neighbours bene-
fit. Will you?
The campaign of education and
publicity which is being carried on
by the State Fire Marshal Depart
ment is intended to teach the prop
erty owners to, remedy faulty con-
struction and the occupants to elm
mate hazardous conditions. 1t is also
intended to instill into the minds of
the people, the insurance buying por
ton especially, the fundamental fact
that the insurance companies do not
pay the fire losses. The payment
lis made by those of us who buy fire
insurance through agents of the in
surance companies. Along this line
of fire prevention, bulletins have
been distributed with the purpose of
calling attention to the careless acts
that cause so many flres-the sins
of omission and commission. Their
purpose is not only to reach the par
ents but their children, and to en-
courage more carefulness in their
homes.
It is practical enough to interest
the most practical, and it admits OF
enough scientific study to delight the
most earnest student. It's economic
side has to deal directly with the con-
servation and preservation of our
natural resources. 1t furnishes a
wide field for research. 1t deals with
common everyday matters and should
| interest those in all walks of life.
| The people must listen and under
stand before they will act in mat
ters of fire prevention. The study
of the subject in the schools should
| be encouraged and ought to- be the
means of accomplishing definite re-
suits, in a very few years.
| And when it is considered, that
| hundreds of human lives are de-
stroyed every year in this state as
a natural result of the fire waste and
property loss, it is difficult to see
how the Importance of the fire pre-
vention cause can be over empha-
sized or exaggerated
