SENATOR LANE

~ ESPITE the radical man.
70 ner in which most of the
people of the state diff
fered from Senator Lane on the
question of supporting the
president in his war program
there will be genuine regret
over the senator's untimely
death-due unquestionably to
the intensity with which he
worked at Washington and to
worry over the trend of al
fairs.
Senator Lane was a man of
many splendid qualities. He
was eccentric but courageous
and honest in supporting what
he believed to be right. He
was a man of deep sympathy
for those laboring under dis
advantages and loved to fight
for a cause that appealed to
him, let the results be what
they might. He lacked in tact
and at times his judgment was
wrong but such mistakes were
always of the head and not the
heart. Senator Lanes action
on the war subject was not
prompted by any want of cOur-
age or by the fact he was lack
ing in patriotic American spir-
it. Much of the criticism
made of him was excessive and
unfair-prompted by partisan

don't make the fatal mistake of re-
garding it as a trihing matter. Au-
thorities agree that Catarrh is an in
lection Of the blood. Consequently,
sprays. salves and lotions can 'af-
ford only temporary relief. because
they do not reach the source of the
disease,-the blood. When you depend
on these temporary remedies alone
your case is likely to grow steadily
worse until it becomes chronic and
possibly affects the lungs.

KEEP THE BOYS AND GIRLS AT
 HOME.

Prof. Fred L. MacChesney, the new superintendent of the Marianna
 schools, has an interesting comnun- ication in this issue of the Courier Index with reference 70 the school situation here. The new superin- tendent makes a strong plea to par ents to keep their boys and girls in the high school department here in- stead of sending them away to schools where they will take the same work given them here. If Marianna is to build up a great educational institution the taxpay- CTS must join hands with the school authorities and assist them in their work. Not only must they support the schools with their finances, but they must keep their boys and girls in the institution until they have completed the full course of instruc- ton. The high school department in the school here is just as eff cient as are these departments in the larger city schools, but if par ents persist in sending their boys and girls away to take high school work it will be only a question of time until this department in the Marianna school will suffer. We have a progressive, wide-awake school board, and an exceptionally strong faculty of teachers in charge of the local school. The plant is one of the best in the state. There is no earthly excuse to send bo' or girl out of Marianna to high school work. The odds are in favor of more substantial progress here than in other places. Let's make Marianna first in all things. Let's keep our money at home, and most important of all, let's Keep our boys ard girls in our home scncoi until they have completel all the work that can be advantageously given them here.

WOOD FOR COMMISSIONER.

It is a matter of extreme gratifi-
 cation to the Marianna and Lee
 county friends of Thos. E. Wood,
 chairman of the Arkansas railroad commission, to learn he has a fair prospect of receiving an appoint ment as a member of the interstate commerce commission. Senator Rob- inson of this state, is the author of the bill that recently passed con- gress providing for an increase in the membership of the commission from seven to nine. Soon after the passage of the bill movement was launched to secure the appointment of Mir. Wood to one of the new places. It is understood he has the solid endorsement of all seven Ar kansas congressman, the two sena- tors, and numerous commercial or ganizations in Arkansas. Mir. Wood has made most enviable record as a member of the Arkansas railroad and his friends feel sure he would make good in the larger field of rate regulation. MT. Wood was raised in Marianna and for many years was associated with his uncle, Col. Jas. E. Wood, in the pub lication of the Lee County Courier. Marianna is still hrs home, though temporarily he is residing in Little Rock.

LAwLEsSNEsS.

There is much food for thought in the acts of lawlessness in differ ent parts of the country. Are we as people losing respect for the law? Are We losing sight of the fine ideals we have cherished for 9 century and half? Or is the un- rest so prevalent in other parts of the world communicating itself to us?
 The most disquieting feature of these outbreaks of lawlessness is not that they should have occurred, but that they should occur just at this time, when the country needs to be united in heart and soul as never before.
 In times of peace and calm the good sense and ordiliness of the people would not have tolerated the causes which led up to the distur- bances. With the minds of the peo- pie on other matters these causes have been permitted to grow and flourish.
 While we are proposing to make great sacrifices for freedom, let us not permit growth within our body polite that is caluculated to nulli- fly and make impotent that freedom.
 Let us set our own house in order.

sense of the American people should be called into use.
 But we are unlike any other people on the globe. There seems to be something in the very air we breathe that makes for a different outlook on life from that of any other country. No other land can vie with us in the vastness of its resources. The in- crease in our national wealth during the last two decades would make Croesus appear a piker, and beside our own mangnificence the glories of Solomon are as the moonlight to the radiant orb of day. Our strength and our resources are boundless and limit less.
 But because of these very facts we find ourselves as a people standing on the very brink of national disaster. We are the most confidently care less people on earth, hence find our selves now engaged in gigantic con- flict and lamentably unprepared for the task before us. What boots us that our resources in men and mater ial are so vast? These resources are as the latent heat of the coal-un- developed and unmobilized. A stren- uous campaign of preparation is on, but the one absolutely essential ele- ment-time-is in a great measure denied us.
 Then we are the most magnificently wasteful people of the world. Be- side our national extravaganza, the prodigality of kings is as pinching economy. And this trait, too, is threatening to be our undoing. Hav- ing by our own royal extravaganza consumed much, and by shipment front the country consumed much more, we find ourselves facing a de- mand for unlimited supplies and with practically empty storehouses. What matters it that other crops may be raised? That same element-time- may be denied us e'er the insistent denman is upon us.
 The remedy? Several.
 In the first place, export nothing that is urgently needed in this coun- try. But perhaps you say that the European nations must be fed. Grant ed, but are we under obligations to feed them and let our own people suf- fer for food? And was it by any act of ours that the bulk of their men are now fighting when they should be at peace and producing. It is well to care for our allies to the limit of pos abilities, but our own interests must take precedence.
 Next, get after the price booster. If there is any particular class of humans-if such they can be called to whom prison garb would be actual ly becoming, it is these vampires Without mercy themselves, they de- serve none; without pity, they can ex- pect none. Void even of a sense of justice, they should have meted out to them the justice of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.'
 Then, let America go to work in earnest-work with the soil. Let us not be satisfied with increased crops this season, but let us plan for even greater increases for years to come, in order that the nations of the earth may be fed and we still have enough left for our consumption.
 And when we produce it, let us conserve it and not waste it.
 If the experiences through which we are passing shall have the effect of teaching us rational economy they will be well worth the price. It is leson we need and should heed.

A NEEDED LESSON.

With the clouds of war looming darkly over the country; with plots and counter plots against the peace of our people; with food disturbances in the large cities; and with the price booster stalking abroad in the land, truly it is a time when the sober
