When we dream our dream Of a
home
or all worldly interests the making
o. a home should be the first in the
mind Of the head Of family. The
htme is the rallying place for all
those OF one flesh and blood who are
united by the strongest Of human ties.
lr the home are inspired all hopes Of
advancement, all plans for progress
ard all Inspirations after higher
things.
Washington Irving says: u value
this delicious home feeling as one Of
the choicest gifts parent can be
stow"
Are you not surprised to find how
independent Of money peace of con-
science is and how much happiness
can be condensed in the hunbest
hcme?"
ITO be happy at home is the ulti-
mate result of all ambition, the end
tc which every enterprise and labor
tends, and OF which every desire
prompts the prosecution"
In no way is the publie spirit of a
towns population more accurately
determined than by the character of
its public buildings, public works
and public Institutions; and the per-
SOL who is utterly devoid of public
spirit would not knowingly invest his
money in a community composed of
citizens like himself When invest
ing his money away from home he
knows we'll enough the value of pub
lie spirit as manifested in the build
ing of good churches, good schools,
good roads and good stores; but he
somehow can not see its value at
home, and he will oppose with his
vote and influence every public i'm
provement that involves expense to
him.
The home is essentially human in

Bush's Bill to Remove Railroad Tracks from Streets of this City Passed Fix Fee of Plaintiffs at $500.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-People who may have an idea that a legislative body in Arkansas is an idle one, would have received a sudden awakening had they looked in on the Senate Friday afternoon. They would have had no Idistant journey into the land of imag- ination to conjure up a picture of Tom Lawson in the trading pit on Wall street on the day following his leak testimony. The Senate was about as busy as a scene on Friday afternoon ,as a moving picture producer could have producer.
 The afternoon session started off innocent enough, six local bills being passed, and then the fun began, and when it ended 23 new general bills had been read a first and second time running all the way from the licens- ing of the sale of cigarettes, to the control of banks and trust companies Then the session ended with the two representatives of Pulaski county in the middle of the floor taking issue with each other on a salary bill for Pulaski county officers. Senator Jones, proclaiming himself the champion of the poor man, was the author of an amendment to reduce the deposit to be made by the plaintiff on filing a suit, from $750 to $3. Senator Adam son declared this would deprive the county of much revenue to which it was just entitled, and suggested a compromise, by fixing the fee at S5
 Pulaski county House members were present to watch the performance, and the adjournment prevented them sec ing it out.

doing so appears to be the only ques- tion undetermined.
 When President Wilson and his ad. visers parted, flor a nights reflec- tion," as the president himself put it, apparently it had not been determined whether the United States should de- lay action until Germany commits an overt act, or whether passports should be handed to Count von Bernstorff with or without a warning note to Berlin.
 After the president and the cabinet had been in session more than two hours MT. Wilson hurried to the capi- tai and this statement was issued at the White House:
 "The president and the cabinet thor oughly canvassed the situation but there is nothing to announce"
 Cabinet Wears Grave Face.
 Members of the cabinet, sworn to silence, left the White House with grave faces. One of them later suf- ficiently broke the rule. of silence to say:
 "The near future will develop some thing very, very serious"
 Another gave a hint of the proba- bility that some overt act might be awaited or at least warning given, by saying:
 "The last chance has not yet come. While Germany has announced her purpose, she has not yet carried it into effect, so far as we know"
 The cabinet unanimously agreed, however, that the United States could under no circumstances countenance such an invasion of it's rights as Ger many's campaign of ruthlessness pro- poses.
 At the capitol the president had an hours conference alone with Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign rela- tions committee, and then sent out word that he sought the views of all senators. Many of the Democrats hur. ried to his room on the Senate floor Seated there with senators grouped about him in a semi-circle, the presi- dent gave no indication of a decision of his own, but frankly announced he had come to hear their opinions. TC induce open expressions, he was care full not to specify what he had in his own mind.

members, Senators Smith, Duty, Gar rett, Vann, Slaughter, King, Sims, Burgess, Greenhouse, Cabiness, Hes ter, Edmondson, Kendall, Emory and Ruff, calling for the abolition of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau. The bill was not referred to a committee, being permitted to remain on the calendar, subject to call.
 The bill is short and to the point, requiring only about half a typewrit- ten page. The fight on it is expected to begin early in the week, and but three more members than those sign ing the bill are required to pass it, if all members are present and voting.
