A SCANDAL IN HIGH CIRCLES

This IS sorry time indeed for the state department at Washington to become involved in scandal with the pecua ors on the stock exchange It most unfortunate that the egny o the department should be questioned at time when 1t ought to be III position to command the full confidence and support of every citizen home every nation abroad Tn all matters of international the department
 speaks for the government Grave issues of the most vital mo- me to ls country and to the world pending; usefulness agent and spokesman will be seriously inn paired long single doubt entertained the truth the charges lodged against this branch of the government
 Hence the proposed congressional investigation very properly n order and should proceed with precision and dispatch It will not do to simply whitewash department; the investigation should be the most searching possible and the responsibility if any, should be fixed where properly longs In other way the good of the department be redeemed and its honor and dignity upheld Every breath of suspicion must be removed before this of the service will again its high standing in the eyes Americans and before the world.

OUR THIN SKINNED FRIENDS.

Scarcely week passes but what enthusiastic Demo ct undertakes to call to time for daring as to crit else his party position matter respecting which good citizens choose to differ It during the campaign The Democrats were horror stricken when their opponents took Pre- Sen Wilson and his party to task for their apparent The situation extremely amusing those who can
 recall the fact that prior their ascenancy the bourbons the archcritics of all times
 But times appear to have changed. With the assumption of full control of both national and affairs the Democrats would now have understand that to crcise the IS nothing short of les majestic How strange seems that those who masters of the art of easc criticism who sooped to depths n constant endeavor cripple their opponents and who were notorou wrekess with the and the truth in formulating their criticisms should all sudden become representative in the face of honest criticism directed against themselves.
 Is possible that the fine old sport of beng again the government is to be abandoned because the Democrats refuse to play according to the rules they themselves esta shed? Why not borrow the old rhinocerous hide that the O r. wore to protect itself from the darts of its critics and then let the game proceed Certainly the party power cannot nope to deny free speech to those who honestly differ with if in questions of public policy.

 failing all too with other writer's she having lived here in touch with her subjects for many years As writer of short fiction Mrs Van Campen has few superors as writ Alaskan fiction she stands head shoulders above the most noted fiction writers with the possible exception of Jack London who also studied his subjects close hand The Luck of Sourdoug is bit of fiction with the scenes laid in the interior along the Valdez trail

OUR POLITICAL
 PRESTIGE SWITCHED

The political prestige of this paper was today switched to the other side of the house, when our wife proudly displayed to us real, genuine poll tax receipt, of the 1917 model, official Fly signed by the High Sheriff and his deputy, and bearing the signature of of the Auditor of State. We are now ready to announce that we surrender and will allow her to control the policy of this paper, politically, as she has controlled CD the editor for many years.
 She has the distinction of being the first lady in Hot Spring county to secure poll tax receipt, and we real ly believe that she actually means to use it.
 Deputy sheriff D. s. Bray, had the following to say in regard to the mat ter:
 Today the monotony of routine work in the sheriff's office was broken when Mrs. Kate Beerstecher, wife of the editor of the Malvern Daily, Record, appeared in the collectors office presented her dollar and request ed poll tax receipt.
 This was the first applicant, and therefore received the first receipt issued to lady, Mrs. Beersteeher in dicated that she was not buying it as a keep sake either, and that in case her husband did not vote right, she would have a remedy.
 The sheriff's force will show every possible courtesy in getting this great move in force and will gladly answer any inquiry as to requirements of ladies registering and securing re- ceipts."

 Chicago in 1870, and came to Nal vern Tn 1907. In the same year, he was happily married to Miss Josephine Hill. He was the efficient and popular manager of the local plant of the Arkansas Light & Power Co.,, for a number of years, and in 1915 was of fered more lucrative position as engineer of the Brookfield, Mo. Electric Plant. He accepted same, and for two years, with his wife, has made that city his home, yet yearning and expecting the meanwhile to return to Malvern and "home" They returned several months ago. happy and full of anticipation in the reunion with friends here in the old home, not dreaming for moment, of the im- pending sorrow which was so soon to shatter their fond hopes. Very soon after his return from Missouri. he ac cepted his old position, and had hard. ly entered upon his duties before stricken with the dangerous malady of typhoid fever. His health has been poor in the past two years, so when seized with his last illness, hi phyi- cal condition was not such as to com bat the dreadful fever, so after an ill., ness of about ten days, the end came on Monday evening. March 18th. Deceased is survived alone by his wife, having no known living relatives. The funeral took place at 4 p. m. Tuesday afternoon at the home on East Pine Bluff Street. conducted by Rev. J.

WOMEN CAN PAY POLL
 TAX WITHOUT PENALTY

Women who pay their poll tax now for the year 1916 should not be charg- ed penalty for delinquent assess ments, according to an opinion render ed yesterday by John D. Arbuckle, at torney general, at the request of c. H. Baskin, county judge of Johnson coun- ty. Women who have been paying the tax in Pulaski county and other coun- ties of the state have been charged a penalty of $1 in addition to the poll tax of the same amount.
 Mr. Arbuckle said the women who are paying the tax should not be. in cluded in the class of delinquents, be- cause they are not assessing at this time through failure to return their assessments at the proper time, but because there was no incentive and no act of the legislature directing them to assess a tthe time when the usual assessments were made.

It is the intention of the paper to change to an all-home- print permanently, but in order to do so, we must have more advertising and therefore can give our readers more reading matter.
