BEN CAUGHRON WILL
 PAY DEATH PENALTY

Little Rock, Aug. 21.-Gov. Broupb last night authorized the statement that he would not interfere in the case of Ben aCughron, of Polk coun- ty, who is in the death cell awaiting electrocution next Friday for the mur- der of Deputy Sheriff Chas. Kirkland. The officer was member of Sheriff Fingers posse, and was killed by Caughron in a battle with draft re- sisters at the home of Bob Harkev whoi now serving a 16 year sen- tence for his part in the tragedy.
 The governor said that he believed justice should be tempered with mercy and that he had on more than one occasion intervened to prevent the maximum penalty being inflicted. but in these cases great public menaces like draft resistance were not in volved; he said that he will so long as he is governor use his official power to enforce rigidly the majesty of the law in preventing resistance to federal and state authorities in this hour of the nations supreme crisis. He believes that an example should be made in this case that will serve notice to all draft resisters.

FROM THOSE HIGH UP.


 Let those who have been successful advise you as to the kind of an edu- cation you should have Men at the head of the affairs of our state and nation.
 Following are extracts from letters from some of Americas greatest men on the value of business education. Hon. Champ Clark. recent Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D. C., said: "Since I have been elected Speaker I have had it more thoroughly impressed on me than ever before that thorough busi- ness college training is of exceeding importance. o. M Dickinson, for mer Secretary of War, Washington, D. C., "Contemporaneously with talk ing my general education, l took a course in a business college and found 1t of value to me, not only generally, but in the practice of law" R. B. Glenn, ex-Governor of North Caro- lima: 'I cheerfully recommend to every one practical business educa- tion for their children" Oswald West, eX-Governor of Oregon: "The modern business school plays large part in fitting young men and women for their entrance into the business world T. C. Pickett, Representa- tive from Iowa: ''The value even necessity of a practical education to young people today is so obvious that no argument should be required in support of it." E. F. Noel, ex-Gov- ernor of Mississippi: "I take pleas ure in testifying to the importance of a practical business education, and to the efficiency of a properly conducted business school in imparting such knowledge" C. x. Harkell, ex-Gov- ernor of Oklahoma: "I consider prac- tical business education of the great est importance" John w. Kern, United States Senator: Everybody ought by this time to understand that business men and business women need business education on the same principle that a doctor must have a medical education." Joseph M. Cary Governor of Wyoming: "Too much cannot be said in behalf of a good commercial educatin. 1 do not believe that such an education can be toe highly recommended"
 Earle B. Mayfeld, Railroad Com missioner of Texas: The world today is calling for men who are prepared and can get results The keynote of success is Efficiency" Tyler Com mercial College offers such prepara- tion and I unreservedly commend it to the young men and women of Texas. l am proud of the diploma which I hold from the Tyler Commer- cial College. The commercial train ing instilled into me while l was 6 student nj your institution has beer of incalculable benefit to me in deal ing with the problems arising ever before the Railroad Commission Of our state.
 Shouldn't the above evidence settle 
 the question with you as to what kind of an education is needed?
