THE CONSTABLE AND THE
MUNICIPAL COURT BILL.

Constable Clint Green has let it be
known he is opposed to the establish
ment in Pine Bluff CT municipal
court with salaried officers, and de-
signed to put into the county AMI
City treasures some of the fees whic1
are now pocketed by Individuals,
Court that will improve the system
and at the same time provide more
funds for county and municipal I'm
provements, from which all the peo-
pie derive benefit.
The constable's opposition created
no surprise. But the statements &C
credited to him did Mr.. Green is
quoted as saying:
aside from a selfish personal mot
i've and speaking as public officer,
| am against the bill for sundry reas-
ons. In the first place my office last
year earned only 81 500 in fees from
criminal business. This amount was
divided among myself and my depu-
ties 1t was augmented by an aver
e@SC Va TAc d ilioiitil w lNu VIC 5Ol
from misdemeanors and civil cases
which entailed no expense to the
county. My office is at present oper-
ated so that there is man ready 10
answer an S. O. S. call at any hour
OF the day or night. By getting extra
fees we are stimulated to ferret out
violations that sa!ared officer
might be careless ar1 overlook, or
regard as outside of his authority. It
is the same as giving an extra per-
cent to travelling man for new bust
ness he brings in for his firm. Last
year ! turned in nearly twice as much
revenue to the county as the office
derived from lis criminal fees"
This tends to show that the con
stables department IS maintained on
$1,000 a year, indicating that it costs
less under the fee system than unde.
the salary plan provided in the Mageo
municipal court bill. But the con-
stable says he was misquoted; that h {,
said the civil business would brine
about $50 month. and that he die
not mention misdemeanor cases al
all. He declared that he had not given
the interview TO the Commercial ana
that the remarks accredited to HIN
must have been obtained while ne
was conversing with trends. Except
for the one error, however, he was
accurately quoted he said.
Another conclusion of the con-
stable that surprised is that a salarie !
officer will not do his duty. He Is

quoted as saying: "By getting extra
fees we are stimulated to ferret out
violations that salaried offio er
might be careless and overlook" A
conscientious man will do his due.
All the county officers and all the
city officers are paid salaries. None
has been charged with delinquency.
Thousands of individuals do their
duty for the salaries they receive.
1t is not necessary to stimulate them
with additional reward IN order to
have them perform tie duties thev
undertake to discharge.

DIVISION OF ROAD FUND.

The council last Monday night
adopted resolution petitioning the
Arkansas general assembly to au-
sthorize the county tax collector to- pay
to the city treasurer one-half of the
road tax collected within the city,
this money to be used by the munich
pal authorities exclusively for street
and bridge work
1t is a fair proposal, and the lesis-
lature should promptly comply with
the petition

LonafelIoW's Inspiration.

Hawthorne told LongfellCw the story
Of Evangeline, adding that he had been
urged to write a romance based on it,
but thought it better suited for verse.
The story of Hiawatha, related to
Schoolcraft by Abraham lie Fort, an
Onondaga chieftain, furnished the poet
with the outline of his einhellished
verse. The ''Tales of q Wayside Inn"
were suggested by an old colonial hos
telry ut Sudbury, Mass, which still is

Story Of Atlantic Island.

Plato tells the story OF tho great
island Of Atlantis and puts it's exis-
tence 5000 years before his time. His
location of 1t is about half way be.
tween the western projection of Africa
and the Gulf of Mexico. Its civiliza-
ton was supposed to be very advanced
and its powerful armies were said to
have penetrated Africa as far Us
Egypt. The whole island, according
to this legend, was engulfed by the seq
IN day and night. Another story
says that q great earthquake destroyed
the island. The legend was ascribed
TO Egyptian priests, and on some old
italian maps Atlantis is placed to The
westward of the Azores. Among some
tribes Of South and Central America
there is the legend Of a vast cataclysm
which engulfed great extent of'land.
Eminent scientists have found moth
1ng impossible in ths existence at some
time Of great Atlantic island, but the
story of Atlantis Is generally regarded
as myth.
