GETTING DECENT

The Baptist Vanguard is really be-
coming right decent little sheet.
The time has been that it was so
wicked in its nature, so rabid and
cross in its dealings with everybody
IL was not desirable exchange even.
1t threw mud and dashed wicked cpl
thets in the faces of everybody, big
and little felt the lacerations of its
awful talOns. There was not a man
in all of the state Of Arkansas but
what was maligned and dashed by it,
Men we're compared TO Sanballates,
Tobias and Ahabs, in fact, the best
of men we're not spared from its aw-
full lashes, but here recently it is get
ting real decent, it speaks of every
body in very decent terms, even boost
! ing little men, men that it never
thought about before, speaking in
commendatory terms of ministers of
the Gospel, having words of praise
and commentator for everybody.
This is So unlike the Vanguard un
I'll it cannot be helped being noticed
What has brought all of this about
1t has been the defense of the people
by the Peoples Defender. The Peo
pies Defender has forced the Van
Vudrd into deCency. If the Peoples
Defender does not accomplish any
thing else, it has brought to the door
of the people and forced decent treat
ment of the people by the Vanguard
The people may never give credit TO,
it. but it is truth nevertheless. Il
is not the nature of the Vanguard tt
be decent, but it has been forced t
decency by the Peoples Defender
This is one of the great advantage
gained by having more than one pub
lie mouthpiece. When there is onl,
enc, it is apt to grow arrogant, i'm
posing, one-sided and selfish, bu
where there is more than one, the.
are both usually kept in the lines o
decency, one by the other. The Van
guard was never so decent in all o
its career in its public utterances col
corning men as it is today, and tn,
whole matter is the result of til,
building up of another news-journal
another mouthpiece in our communi
ty, in our Baptist ranks
If the Vanguard continues to ge
decent, for indeed there is still room
for some improvement, the People,
Defender shall ask the courtesy o
exchange, for it will regard the Van
= guard as being fully worthy of
Eplace OH its exchange table anon

Just continue to improve your tone,
Miss Vanguard, and you will be well
come to place ON the exchange table
of the Peoples Defender. We are
still praying for you and watching
your conduct with critical eye. Be
sure and do not commit any overt
act, or the submarine will get you.

COUNTING VOTES TERRITORIAL
 ELECTION
Special to Daily Times.)

JUNEAU, Jan. 20. - The canvas sing board, consisting of Governor Strong, Secretary Davidson and Col leCtOr of Customs Pugh, began its work yesterday and will continue fin session until the official count of the returns of the recent territorial cleo tion has been completed.
 That there were many irregularities in the voting has already become ap- parent, and just how far-reaching it it will be remains to be determined As the vote for delegate to congress is close. the final result may not be ascertained until the last of over 14,- 900 ballots has been checked up.
 The first change in the returns was made in precinct number one of Doug las, in southeastern Alaska. Here Sulzer gained three votes under a ruling that where the voter marked the ballot on the right side and the same was called to the attention of the canvassng board the ballots would be counted.
 Neither Sulzer nor Wickersham have any representative present at the official count. Attorney General Grigsby is advising the board regard ing legal questions involved The work will necessarily be slow, and probably the board will have to adjourn from day to day until the belated returns arrive by mail
