The Independent has started upon it's eighteenth year. The Independ- ent is the oldest daily publication in North Arkansas, and has reached it's eighteenth milestone in life only through the cooperation of the gdpd citizens and business men of New- port and Jackson county, which as- sistance the paper has attempted to merit and reciprocate. The Inde- pendent has it's friends, and the man. agement realizes also that there are those who do not like the paper. We love our friends and will always be found sticking close by when we can be of service to them. Our enemies we do not despise them, and should be. sorely disappointed if they did not exist, because no individual nor institution can lay claim to any ac- compliahment without having the sat- isfaction of mourning the displeas- ure of the man who is always in the way of progress or the man who is always sure he is right and every body else wrong.
 Since the building of the railroad park on Front street, at which point farmers have been accustomed to leaving their teams, arrangements should be made to provide another place somewhere in the city for the convenience of the farmers, who are the best friends the town has, and upon whom We must depend.

SWITCHMEN DEMANDS

adjustment of Hours.

Washington, Feb. representation Of
requests by switchmen for increased
pay and time and half for all work
beyond eight hours developed into a
discussion before the railroad wage
board today of the practicability of any
|readjustment of hours, now when there
is "A great shortage of men, which
would hamper operation of trains.
S. r, Heberling, president of the
sswitchmen's union. said the eight hour
law was not being generally observed
because overtime was not penalized
and asked that instead of Il pro-ratl
basis, time and a half be imposed for
all work beyond the basic day.
Mr.. Heberling said 1t was only de-
sired to keep the day as closely rs
possible 10 an eisht-hour basis To
minimize accidents due To fatigue.

GERMANY WORRIED
OVER MANY CRIMES
Robbers and Thieves Busy
Throughout Empire.

Zurich, SwitZerland.In Increase OF
crime in Germany as the concomitant
of war is causing distress to German
officials. Theodor Wolff has written
the following comment on this social
unrest in the Berliner Tageblatt;
Everywhere the work of guarding
property has been made more diff
cult. watchmen are fewer and even
the fabricators Of literary slime who
sing about the ennobling effects of
some II our moral concepts are weak
eninG II must also be remembered
that In the moment In which thievery
has become easier the price OF the
booty has risen extraordinarily A thief
who formerly had to sneak from fence
to fence to find some one who would
give him n pittance for his stolen goods
and often had to throw away his booty
can now appear as baron II he tries
to sell food or clothing. The demand
is great and everybody knows what
high prices are paid today in Height
mate ways for such things. And most
OF the purchasers care little whence
the butter or sausage really comes.
Larders Robbed in Germany.
while the professional burglars
busy themselves with stores. the lesser
criminals. minor embellishments. house
thieyery, get closer to our daily life.
Everywhere one hears lamentations
about packages that do not arrive,
about larders from which something
suddenly is missing. Is there no REM
edy for this dangerous condition? We
ought to see to ii that even these minor
offenses are more strictly punished.
The truth, however. is that many OF
those who are robbed fear to prosecute
the thieves, the faithless employees, or
even to make formal complaint, be-
cause the stolen goods have been ille-
ultimately acquired, In violation of
regulations that govern such things
and the real criminal is not punished.
ITO the unpleasant feeling that the
property may not have been legally
acquired, there Is added the fear Of
blackmail. II affects every class. The
war usury bureau of "A single Berlin
suburb has on file more than 2O,0oo
notices against residents who are al
legged to have violated food card rules,
to have paid more than legal maximum
prices or to have secured food or
clothing by ilIegitimate means or to
have sold them In violation OF some
regulation or law.
Wants to End Blackmail.
TT would be commendable to add TO
the ten thousand rules announced an
other one which would proclaim that
only real offenses would be punished

sion of everybody's soup pot"

While the "bourgeoisie" are under

quiet hand. There have been no riots

Moscow. The soviets just took con-
troll, that was all.
They are free and untrammeled
lords of all they survey. Most of them
have stepped into the official places
without changing their worEmen's
blouses. Their "sobrinias" or meet

attended the "sobrinias" declare they
have been impressed most by their
earnestness.
