Liquor Organ Becomes PeeUed

The Arkansas News, the of ficial "juice-harp' of the liquor interests during the recentcam- paign for Act No. 2, seems very much disgusted becausenobody has noticed the alleged fact that it was the first newspaper to suggest q law against ship ping liquor into the state.
 There are probably several reasons why they havn't, first and foremost of which is the fact that the News is badly mistaken about its being the first newspaper to suggest such a law.
 A law of this kind was ad- vocated by The Journal and other papers before the Ark ansas News ever came into existence, and when the News present editor was too busy trying to keep liquor in Ark ansas to even think of suggest ing such a law.
 Possibly another reason why no public comment has been made upon what the News has said is the fact that such a sug- gestion, coming from the News, is so inconsistent as to be un- worthy of notice.
 To command any respect, a newspaper must be consistent in what 1t advocates, and when the chief liquor organ of the state begins advocating a bill to prevent liquor being shipped into the State, the peo- pie at once conclude that there is some ulteror motive behind it.

MORE BUFFALOES THAN
 HOGS IN N. Y. CITY

Mir. Editor.-I see in your paper I got today that you had been feasting on buffalo steak and you think they are about to become extinct. 1 don't know so much about that, they seem to be more plentiful than hogs here. I see a great bunch of buffalo browning around here in the city and I haven't seen a hog. However, if you want any more steak just send an egg and the teabone will be forthcoming. Subscriber,

The report of President J. c. Futrall of the State University shows that B per cent of the students attending the Univer- sity are residents of Washing ton county. The University is costing the taxpayers of Ark ansas entirely too much to be maintained for the special bene- fit of Washington county. It should be moved to some more central point where it would be easily accessible from all parts of the state, and it will never accomplish the good work that it should do for the people of the entire state until it is more centrally located. The Journal hopes the present session of the legislature will provide for it's removal from Washington county.

A Central State University

have a centrally located Uni versity, though when it does come, the present University should be maintained as a branch institution.
 The Commercial is firmly convinced that one of the cen- tral counties of the state could we'll afford to contribute $1,- 500,000 or $2,000,000 to be ex- pended in buildings for a great CT, and grander University of Arkansas. The Commercial de- sires to propose to the legisla- ture that in it's coming session 1t permit the counties so fav- ored as to be obliged to such. a contest, through their geo. graphical location to bid for the privilege of becoming the home of the University of Ar kansas. It has been suggested by a financier, that anyone of the counties near the center of the state could we'll afford to organize itself into an im- provement district, levy an as- sessment of five or ten per cent of the property valuation and donate the proceeds to a new university, to be main- tained by the state.
 Should this plan be approved by legislative action, the bill should go further and provide a Board of Trustees or Uni versity Commission to select the location and erect the buildings. Such a board should be composed of the leading citizen of each of the seven Congressional districts. If the selections were wisely made there would never be intima- tion of politics in the institu- ton.
 A university in the center of the state with $1,500,000 in modern buildings and equip ment, would equal that of any state in the Union, and we are confident there would be g. 300 or 5000 students enrolled the first year, with represen- tation from every county in the state instead of the soc now attending the institution at Fayetteville.
 With thousands of school : children demanding. an oppor. stitution for higher education we cannot begin too soon tc prepare for them. The safe and sound solution is to build a uni. verslty that will be a credit to the state and we believe there will be some lively bidding on the part of central counties who want to give the state a University if they are permit. ted to do so. Let's let 'em bid and profit all around.-Pine .iBluff Commercial.

and city newspapers of Ark ansas, thousands of Arkansas people are reading the fire prevention warnings sent out from time to time by the Ark ansas Actuarial Bureau and there is already an awakening as to the ease with which hun dreds of thousands of dollars of annual fire loss in this state could be averted,say those who are spreading the gospel of fire-prevention. They call at tention to the fact that the pub lie pays for this loss; not the insurance companies. The less the fire loss the less the insur- ance rate in given state.- Southern Construction News.

With educational possibili- ties today greater than any other Southern state, comes the natural question, twill Arkan- sas make the most of her op- portunities We believe our grand commonwealth is awake, and we also believe the time IS ripe to strike for a compre- hensive educational system which will make Arkansas a real leader, instead of trailer.
 Arkansas voters heartily in- dorsed at the recent, an amend ment to the Constitution, per- hitting counties to increase their tax levy for school pur- poses to 12 mills. As most coun- ties voted in faVorof the amend ment, it stands to reason that these counties will avail them selves of opportunity to secure more funds by voting the in- creased tax.
 With practicallylevery school district in te state provided with ample funds, modern school houses will appear and districts which have held but a few months of school each year will have full terms. With these additional facilities for educating Arkansas young sters, will come the natural desire for a higher education. True, the majority will consid- CT themselves fortunate to have had advantage of the neighborhood schools and go from the schoolroom into the world, but how about those who demand a chance to con- tinue their studies?
 What is Arkansas going to do for them?
 Is the state going to offer to them the alternative of at tending it's institution situated up in one corner of Arkansas, or their going to educational institutions of other states? Does it not seem an absolute necessity, that Arkansas pro. vide itself with an institution of learning which will com pare favorably with those o1 other states, if not excel them And should not such an institu be so located that it ~ts is s ( easy as 45 o5 6- access to the entire people o1 the state?
 The Commercial is in no way opposed to the University o1 Arkansas in it's present location nor does it wish to handicap il in anyway, but it does favor a real university, and it believes that one of the centrally locat- ed counties of the state will erect one. The time is certain ly coming when Arkansas must
