To the Voters of
 Arkansas


Believing that when d nGu, offers for public office, especial for the exalted position of gov of great state the people are entitled to know what manner of man he is. Believing that man should be considered in connection with the goVcno}slip of state unless his private character is unimpeachablc and his reputation stainless, We deem 1t our duty to call the attention oi thH citizenship of our state to the facts hcrcin- afei set out concerning j., C. Smith candidate for governor in the coming primary election.
 In the first place. we beg to remind the voters that this Smith is the same who in the campaign two years ago for the same office basee his candidacy almost solely upon his support of the Whislev interest, and who advocated the re- peal of the state wide prohibition law as his prin- cipa claim for support This question having been overwhelmingly N decided against him i'll that cleo ton, he is now contcndiny that the Whiskcv qllcs- tol has no place in the present contest. We sub init that if he should be elected it would furnish tremendous encouragement to the hangers and supporters of the infamous liquor traffic, and in al! probability would result in another contest up on that question.
 We now believe it our du y to say to the pco pie that this man Smith has three living wives. His first wife. whom he married on November IS, 1875, bore him several children. Secured divorce from him upon a complaint the 18th day of Ieb r,larv. 1a1O in which she alleges his cruelty and nfidclity. Copy of this decree be found on pages 157 and 15S.

League of Nations, Formed at Coun-

Safety Of .World-war Issues Re-
stated.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The price of
peace win be impartial justice to all
nations. The instrumentality indispens
able to secure it is league of nations
formed not before or after, but at the
peace conference, and Germany, as a
member, ''will have to redeem her
character not by what happens at the
peace table, but by what follows.
This was President Wilson 5 answer
given last night before an audience of
Fourth Liberty loan workers here, TO
the recent peace talk from the Central
Powers, although he did not refer spccif-
ically to the utterances of enemy lead
ers
Peace was not a question, declared
the President, of looming to terms, =
for eve cannot come to terms with
them, as they have made it impos

there will be parties to the peace
whose promises have proved untrust-

''It would be folly to leave the guar

continued the President.
The President emphasized that the
justice to be obtained by the league
must involve no discrimination toward
any people This he set forth explicit
" in q set of five principles. which
he enumerated as "the practical pro-

These principles were, he said:

BULGARIA IS
COLLAPS|NC
Gen. March Says it Is Due to
Concentration of u. S.
Forces i'm France
GERMANY UNABLE
TO ASSIST ALLY
Because of Pressure Being Put Upon
Her Armies on Western Front-Elim-
ination of Bulgaria Would Have Ire
mendous Effect on War.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-The i'm
pending collapse of Bulgaria, Gen. March
SAID today, was direct result of the
concentration of American forces ON the
western front. Great Britain has replied
to the Bulgarian request for an armi-
stiee BY this reply it is made perfectly
plain that all military operations can be
suspended. At the same time regarding
the proposal that duly accredited Bulga-
ran representatives should confer with
the allies on the question of peace it has
been made plain to the Sofia government
that such peace necessarily involves
complete rupture by the Bulgarian gov
eminent with Turkey, Germany and
Austria Hungary.
1he allied governments necessarily de-
mand every guarantee which they CON
slder necessary to them to safeguard
their military operations and prevent the
dispatch OF German troops to Bulgaria
In discussing the Bulgarian proposition
1t Is pointed out that the allies have no
intention OF attempting to make a final
territorial settlement in the Balkans,
which obviously must be matter for
consideration at the peace conference If
| the terms laid down in the despatch to
Sofia are not acceptable to the Malinoff
government the allied powers, it is add
ed, must now have no further condition
to propose and it viii rest with Bulgaria
to find other representatives who can ac-
cept these conditions. sSs.
Hitherto, Gen. March explained, when
lever section of the central empires was
menaced Germany was able to withdraw
divisions from the west front to bolster
up the threatened points. The elimina-
4 ton of Bulgaria, the chief of staff point
ed out, should separate, peace be granted,
would bring aboiit the isolation of Tar.
key and possibly tlere-entry of Rumania
into the war. The effect of these events
on the grand strategy of the war was
obvious.
In the new France American drive the
American forces west of Verdun have
Ipassed beyon Hindenburg line and are
facing new Kriemnielde line He said
the advance was characterized by the
same sharpness and rapidity which had
heretofore marked the American opera
lions. On the first day Pershing's men
advanced from five to six miles, Official
dispatches today show capture by the
Americans in this sector of 5000 prison
ers, while the French to the west of them
have taken more than 1000.

can be no special. selfish economic com,
binations within the league and no en-
ployment of any form of economic boy
colt or exclusion except as the power
of economic penalty by exclusion from
the markets Of the world may be vested
in the league of nations itself a. a
means of discipline and control
Fifth, all international agreements
and treaties of every kind must be
made known in their entirety to the
rest of the Wosld.''
Mr. Wilson related the issues of the
war as follows,
Shall the military power of any ma
ton or group of nations be suffered to
determine the fortunes of the peoples
over whom they have no right to rule
except the right of force9
Shall strong nations be free to
wrong weak nations and make them
subject ta-their own purpose and in.
terest?
Shall peoples be ruled and domi.
mated, even in their own internal af-
fairs, by arbitrary and irresponsible
force or by their own will and choicel
Shall there be a common standard
Of right and privilege for all weak
peoples and nations or shall the strons
| do as they viii and the weak suffer
without redress9
| Shall the assertion of right be hap
hazard and by casual alliance or shall
there be common concert to oblg,
the observance of common rights?',
He added:
No man. no group of men, chose
these to be the issues of the struggle
They ARE the issues of it,
