Mayor Simon Bloom and B. C. Fowles
 are already at Little Rock and agreed
 to remain over until tonight for the 1 conference, while President H. ].
 Holderness and Secretary E. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce will ac - ] company the committee.
 Endorse w. w. Byrd. w. L. Matthews suggested that be- cause the trustees have already gone on record as urging that Governor Brough appoint 9 Jefferson county
 man as a member of the penitentiary
 board and, while the committee is in Little Rock, it might stress the importance of the matter to the gov ernor.
 Other speakers had something to say on the matter. and finally it de- veloped that w. w. Byrd. one of the
 best known residents ol this city and
 county, is the only man known to
 have announced as an aspirant for such appointment, and has already received very many signatures from influential and prominent residents to petition requesting his appointment. President Holderness made it plain that if there is more than one candi date for the position 1t is not in the province of the chamber of con- merce to endorse one candidate over another, but to this half dozen men announced that they had heard no other names mentioned in this con nection.
 Sheriff E. H. Williams said he knew Mir. Byrd had a petition numerouslv signed, and he urged that the cham Der of commerce endorse his candl dacy.
 "One reason why Jefferson county did not get anything from Governor
 Hays or other governors" he said, twas because we could never center | on any one man or measure. We al- ! ways had several candidates for eacn position, or various measures. and as a result the governor would say.
 Look here, you people can not agree | among yourselves. l cont want any 1 thing to do with this. MT. Byrd is the only man I have heard mentioned | for this place, he has the endorse
 ment of every one who has heard hc | was an aspirant,- and l believe this meeting should endorse him. The endorsement was given without
 a dissenting vote.
 Favor Sheriff's Plan.
 Sheriff williams asked and ob l tained the endorsement of the cham
 ber of commerce, for bill which ha l expects to present to the legislature l today, asking for change in the law l to do away with the archaic and ex- pensive custom of sending the tax
 books around the country each year l to visit each precinct.
 "We make virtually no collections 1 through this custom" he said. "1t does not amount to enough to pay the 1 rig hire. Every man in the count! comes to Pine Bluff two or three times during the tax paying period
 and most of them s2ay their taxe!
 here on those occasions. And it will
 be no difficulty for all of them to pa.
 at the courthouse.
 "Why, a man has to make the IS mile trip to Double Wells and staN lthere all day, yet he didn't unwral
 the tax books. He travelled to Pas Itoria and remained there all day, but
 he never opened the books. An'
 that's the way it is at most of tht
 places"
 The meeting was impressed witt the sheriff's viewpoint and the en-
 dorsement of the chamber of com
 merce to the proposed bill was Igranted without a dissenting vote.

Just when the country needs the
services of every able-bodied man ana
woman, it is unfortunate that II
should be found necessary to lock
number of them in jails, merely be-
cause they insist on butting their
heads against a stone wall. If the ac-
ton of the government be confined TO
the agitators alone it will not be so
serious a matter to the nation, but we
are confronted by the possibility that
its iron hand may be extended TO their
unseeing and ignorant followers. This
would not only entail a considerable
loss of man power but it would have
a bad effect on our standing in the
estimation of the world and would
prove gratifying to our enemies. II 1t
become necessary to shoot down few
hundred opponents of the draft and
imprison large number of them, the
news would quickly reach Germany
and be productive of much comfort to
the hostile powers.

WAR ON THE CLASSICS.

The Rockefeller Foundation is I'M
dertaking to Danish the study of Latin
and Greek from the schools. If it
succeed it will have eliminated from
the curriculum about all that it con-
tains of value outside the three Rs.
Its effort is encountering the active
opposition of such men as Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Alba B. Johnson,
president of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works; Lewis Buckley StillweI, a
consulting engineer; Thomas Hast
ings. an architect; Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern railway and
chairman of the committee on nation
al defense of the American Railway
association, besides newspaper editors
and university presidents.
Aside from the ability to read, write
and cipher to a limited degree, the
knowledge of the so-called dead Ian
guages acquired in the schools is the
one thing that stays with the active
business man. He may not retain his
ability to read in these languages, but
the basis which they form for all other
knowledge he finds of value to him
every day.
They are the key to literature, the
arts and sciences. Any effort to dis
place them in the schools is mischiev-
Gus and should be frowned upon.

WHY DEFY THE LAW?

1t is folly. inexcusable. for anybody to
think that he can defy the United
States government. Nobody ever has
done it and got by with it. This is a
truth that a number of persons in
this country seem destined to learn at
considerable cost unless they aban-
don their open opposition to the Sc
lective draft.
Reading the announcement by a
United States district attorney in San
Francisco that he contemplated COM
piling a list of persons opposed to the
selective draft, who advised young
men to defy the law, a Los Angeles
woman wrote to him to put my name
at the head of your list" The Off
cial did as directed, and the woman
was arrested and placed in jail.
There can be no doubt that a SIM
liar fate awaits those persons all over
the United States who are openly re-
sisting the law. State statutes often
are ignored or evaded but it is differ
ent when one goes against Uncle
Sans DEGREES. 1t is like trying to
stop an avalanche with a pebble.
