MUSIC AS NATIONAL unIfIeR
Properly Taught in Childhood " Has a
Wonderfully civiilzina
Influence.

Anyone who has compared town
and city life in this coeiutry and in
Europe. and has seen what a pleas
nre and what a civilizing influence
music may become when il is prop
erly taught in childhood, must real
ize how great a loss our people sus-
tqn by the neglect Of singing. We
are only now beginning to realize
how long it takes to weld a diverse
people into one by means of an intel
leetual conception of nationality.
The thin bond Of self-interest, the
advantage Of getting on in the world
these keep us together in ordinary
times; but in a great crisis such
bonds break. The leaven Of senti-
ment is needed. We want a common
sympathy; we want above all some
means Of expression for that SYM
patty. There have been Of late nu-
merous great meetings at which the
feelings Of men and women have ex-
pended themselves in shouts, in
cheers, in the clapping of hands, and
in other inarticulate methods of ex-
pressing emotions. What would not
song have done for these thou
sands--a song they all knew and

ALLEGED ROBBERS
 JAILED AT SfARCY

Charged with aiding and abetting in the bank robbery at Fl Paso Mon day morning, Arthur and Sidney Quattlebaum, age p and 26 years, respectively, and Jimmy Stone, 18 were brought to Searcy this after noon about l o'clock by Deputy Sher- if J. w. Hall and lodged in the county jail.
 Sidney Quattlebaum, when caught by the officers about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, was driving the same horse driven by the men participat- ing in the hold-up, and the animal was hitched to the buggy declared by men in Fl Paso to have been the one used by the robbers. He was ar rested near his home and taken to ElPaso, where Deputy Hall kept him until this morning.
 next afternoon, (Tuesday), and, to- gether with Sidney, have been placed in the jail here pending a hearing.
 The men believed to have been actu- ally engaged in the robbery have not been apprehended as we go to press, however, confidence is expressed that they will soon be captured and return ed to Searcy by Sheriff Tatum c. Plant and Jailer Bert Campbell, who are still on the trail of those believed to be the guilty parties.
 None of the money stolen has been recovered, and, while there is always a doubt about the recovery of stolen money, the local officers deserve much praise for the efficient manner in which they have conducted the affair from the beginning. Three arrests within AS hours is not bad for any set of criminologists.-Searcy Citi- zen, Feb. IA.

M'CARTHYFAvORS .
BONDlSSUEPLANS

That a first class water system, such
a system as it is contemplated to build
with the money from the bond issue,
will materially reduce insurance rates,
is one of the reasons advanced by Col.
@. ]. Mccarthy, territorial treasurer
and insurance commissioner, for sup.
porting the bonds.
According to Colonel Mccarthy, the
insurance rates win be reduced from
zen to twenty per cent on the compile.
ton of the water system. The rates
are fixed by the board of fire under.
writer's on points of efficiency in city s
fire and water departments. As the
departments are brought to higher
point Of efficiency the rates are auto,
matically lowered. ~.
During 1915 the city paid 5000, 434.l4
in insurance premiums. If the rate is
reduced ten per cent it win be a direct
saving to property owners of S60 900
annually. If the rate is reduced TWEEN.
~ per cent the saving will DE Stau,UJU
annually. Ii Is not difficult, said Ne
Carthy, to figure out that the bond
Issue of A4S0000 could be paid oft w
n short time merely by a saving in the
insurance rate. .. ..t Z alN
! sgs4..ol ~, yarthy is strongly in favor
of the bond issue and believes that the
people of Honolulu viii not losesthis
opportunity to get their water and
S. wer improvements. .-5 80
That Honolulu occupies prominent
place in the minds of eastern capital

posed bond issue, Two firms in New

As the bonds bear interest at five
per cent and as Honolulu has a high
rating Of credit on the mainland, it is
not surprising that eastern capital
