Right to Be Neutral Denied Us

It is plain enough how we were forced into the war. The extraordinary insults and ag- gressions of the Imperial Ger man Government lett us no self respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as a free people and of our honour as a sovereign government The military masters of Germany de- nied us the right to be neutral. They filled our unsuspecting communities with vicious spies and conspirators and sought to corrupt the opinlon of our people in their own behalf.
 Much as we had desired peace, it was denied us, and not of our own choice This flag un- der which we serve would have been dishonoured had we with held our hand Woodrow Will son, President of the United States.

L. C. SMITH OUTLINES PROBABLE
 PLATFORM

Judge L. c. Smith of Dewitt. who, in the last governors race ran second has been in Little Rock for the past two or three days, gathering information from his friends relative to mak- ing the race a second time, in primaries next May.
 To representative of the Ar kansas Democrat Judge Smith stated that he would no doubt be candidate for governor again, and made the following state ment:
 If decide to make the race and it appears now as though 1 will, 1 go into the fight with at least 25 per cent better chance than 1 had last time, which should mean that 1 will win in a walk. 1 do not feel that Cover nor Brough has lived up to all his campaign promises. and 1 am reasonably certain that the peo- pie of the great State of Arkan. sas are not wholly satisfied with his administration of the office, and will welcome a change.
 The last time I ran for gover- nor, 1 used a slogan. Let the People Rule and this will again be my slogan. There is no great CT voice, than the voice of the people, and 1 believe that that voice now is calling me to gain make the race judging from the great number of letters I have received from representative cit izens in every part of Arkansas.
 1 shall introduce in my plat form, plank that will advocate the changing of the present drastic "bone dry" law. I shall do all in my power, if elected. to urge the legislature to pass an amendment giving to the people of Arkansas the right to order, once every so often, little wine. beer or liquor. This will be all worked out, between now and the election. 1 believe the people of the State would welcome such an amendment, as the present bone dry" law has tendency to increase rather than take away. the criminal element in our State. As a matter of fact, there are today, in the penitenti ary, a humber of women serving sentences for bootlegging While it is true. in a measure, they should be tbere, as they vii plated State law, I am against a law that makes it possible for women with small children to be arrested, tried and sentenced to the penitentiary, for an offense, that after all, is not a cardinal sin 1 repeat, the law is drastic. and I believe an amendment will improve conditions. It at least can't make them any worse"

LET THE PEOPLE RULE

A movement has been started in
Congress to check the United States
supreme courts practice of vetoing
legislation on the ground that it is
unconstitutional"
In an address before the Popular
Government Leagues convention in
Washington last week Senator Owen
called attention to the growing
power of the United States Supreme
court, and the dwindling power of
congress. The Civil war, said, Sem
ator Owen was fought because of an
unconstitutional decision of the Uni
ted States Supreme court-the
Dredd Scott decision. In the pres
ent S-hour day case, the Senator
said, the country is faced with sit
uation where the court might again,
by an attempt to override Congress
and to nullify perfectly good law,
bring about just as grave a situation.
When law has been passed by
both branches of Congress and ap-
proved by the president that should
settle it and no one Supreme Court
judge or a majority of the court
should have power to nullify the will
of the people. To illustrates:
At the close of the Civil war the
Supreme Court was composed of
five judges and by vote of 3 to .
declared the greenback unlawful
money. Soon after two additional
judges were added to that court and
soon after General Butler at his own
expense, instituted friendly suit
and carried it to the Supreme Court
and the former decision was over
ruled Some twenty years ago Con-
gress passed law to tax incomes.
The law was declared unconstitution-
al by one vote of the court A rehear-
ing was granted and one member of
the court changed his opinion and as
consequence constitutional
amendment was inaugurated which
took seventeen years to secure its
passage by vote of the states. By
reason of that amendment we now
have an income tax.

INGENIOUS YOUNG MAN

Ray Meinzer has just completed
harvesting his crop of ice. He has
put up altogether over 500 tons
which is 200 tons more than has
been put up heretofore. Monte Vista
has always run short and had to
shin in ice at high price which
seemed to be poor manageme 1 as
the cost is nominal to put up in COM
parison to shipping it in.
Ray has built motor-driven saw,
mounted on steel runners which is
very rapid and successful in cutting
the ice. He took two cylinder en-
gine out of an old REQ automobile
and a circular saw and with the help
of blacksmith he got the thing to-
gether so it works in fine shape He
says it beats the old horse plow "all

WELSH SINGERS

The advance sale of seats for the
concert to be given in tie Monte Vista
Opera House by the Welsh Royal
singers February 3 is already a
record breaker Although it is near
ly month until the event takes
place over 200 tickets have already
been sold and if the present interest
keeps up the house will be sold out.
Patrons, please remember this is
not one of the lyceum numbers. The
three remaining numbers of the ly-
ceum are still to come. But this is
an independent attraction.
Remember, also, that the seat
board will be placed in Fuller's Drug
Store February l, and that all pur-
chasers up to opening time on that
date will have an equal chance.
Still one more thing to remember.
This is an absolutely guaranteed at
traction which means that if it is not
up to the highest standard your
money will be refunded. 1t would
be well to get your order in now.
Every ticket bought before February
1, will also help the two hustling
high school girls who are making the
sale. Order now.

STATE CAN ENFORCE
ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION

The Wcbb-Kenyon law, recently
declared constitutional by the U. s.
Supreme Court promises to play an
important part in Colorado liquor
legislation. The Denver Times of
Wednesday last gives a short discus
sion of this law by it's author.
This meaure was first drafted in
1908 by Fred S. Caldwell, while he
was special prohibition enforcement
attorney for Oklahoma under Gov.
Haskell, but who was formerly of
Colorado. Mr.. Caldwell is at present
vice-president and general manager
of the C. H. w. Mining Co. of Cen
trail City.
Under this law any state can per-
nit Intoxicating liquors to come in
as free as air and water, or it can
make the state air-tight," declared
Mr.. Caldwell. "It is now entirely
up to the state. The law in its sim
plest analysis takes away from in
toXicating liquors the character of
iHteTStale commerce when shipped
from state to state when the liquors
are intended for illegal purposes. If
state makes it illegal for person
to receive, keep in his possession or
use intoxicating liquors, then any
shipments consigned to him from
some other state cease to be inter
state commerce under the Webb
Kenyon act"
The difficulty in framing such a
bill arose from the fact that Con
gress has sole jurisdiction over in
terstate commerce.
The above law has an added inter
est to Monte Vista because of the
fact that Mr.. Caldwell's parents have
recently come to our city to reside
| occupying the Matthias house or
Faraday st. Mr.. Caldwell is also a
cousin to Clarence Jones of this
place.

BUREAU MAKES
STOCKRAISER THE GOAT

The proposed raise in grazing
fees of 100 per cent by the govern
ment on it's national forests, is meet
ing with a storm CT protest from live
stock associations and others. In
Wyoming a resolution has been in
troduced in the state Legislature pro-
testing the raise. The stockmen
contend that the fees which they
now are paying far more than pay
The expenses of the forestry depart
ment incidental to regulation of live
stock grazing.
This seems to be true. The deficit
in the Forestry bureau comes from
an enormous overhead" expense
which is found in the maintenance
of high salaricd chiefs and armies
of clerks and supernumeraries who
are necdless!y paid to duplicate the
work of the supervisors office.
In this western country, the large
part of the revenue derived by the
Forest Service comes from the graz
ing fees and yet there is only frac-
ton of the rangers, time that can
properly be charged to grazing. 1t
seems hardly fair to make the stock
man pay for building roads for tour
ist travel and for protection of tim
Der and scenery

II. o. G. MINSTREL

The work on the special features
given February 8, 8 and 10 in the
Monte Vista Opera House has al
ready begun and the big minstrel
overture ordered from Witmark and
Co., New York, will be ready for
regular rehearsals at the beginning
of the week. The overture, song
hits and special features will all be
accompanied by an orchestra of
eight pieces and spot and colored
lights will add to the scenic effect.
The best singing talent of the city
has been persuaded to "be seated"
at the opening and end men and in
terlocutor of more than local fame
will dispense the sidesplitting jokes
Special costumes are being secured
from a big Denver house and every
thing that goes to make an up-to-
date minstrel performance will soon
be in readiness.
The special features consisting of
fancy dances, song specialties and
monologues will be unique and at
tractive and all together will COM
bine to make hours of the finest
amusement. Thursday and Satur-
day night performances will be for
the general public while the Friday
night performance will be for the
private entertainment of the Hog
Growers Association and their
wives. The sale of tickets will soon

joying visit from Miss Emma Ma
thias, Miss Kershaw and Mrs. Eg-
bert who came in Wednesday from
Salida. Mrs. Egbert is sister of
Mrs. Blount and resides at Salida.
The other ladies are of Gadsden,

Blount's cousin. The mother of
Miss Mathis is Mrs. G. II. Mathis,
about whom the American magazine
this month publishes an interesting
story. Mrs. Mathis is, perhaps, the
most prominent woman in Alabama
and among her accomplishments it
is stated that almost single handed,
she tripled the earning power of
hundreds of Alabama farmers, null
tiplied land values, and wiped out
the cattle tick, which was doing
Sl,O00,000 damage every year. Fig
ures have been gathered which
prove that in 1915 alone Mrs. Mathis
was worth $2O,OOO,OOO to her
