THAT subject which has been before

up again on Wednesday. The sub
Jet was first started on its journey
when the Democratic Board decided to
put one Of its own faith in the Office
and elected John B. Burtis, q staunch
Democrat and one who was chosen by
strictly partisan vote. We were in
clined to think that the action was en-
Nrsly out of order but the Supreme
Court decided that 1t was all right.
Under advice Of counsel the man who
had besn busted declined to surrender
any Of the paraphernalia OF his office,
On the ground that the matter was be-
fore the Court of Errors and Appeals
and the decision Of that body must be
waited for. The action Of Wednesday
WAS brought about by q complaint
nom the state department which
claimed that the Burlington county Of

sthsr reason, Mr.. Burtis did not 90

new appliances to be used in his work.
but he failed to act. So now the Board
Of Frseholders has served notice on
him to show cause why he should not
b removed. Not being acquainted
with the law in this particular instance.
Il IL hard to give An intelligent express

when the Supreme Court liz appealed

POSSIBLY because there was some
friction in Atlantic county, the Sem
Ator from that place introduced and
carried to completion a law which
places In the hands Of Boards of Free
holders the salaries Of all county EN-
ployss. Under this law the compsnsa-
ton Of assistants in all the county Of
ices will be fixed Is the Board OF Free
holdsrs may designate. The salaries
Of the chiefs. arranged by law. cannot
b touched. Just how this law will
Affect Burlington county remains to
be seen, but the recent liberality dis
played by the Board Of Freeholders in
the matter Of salaries does not seem to
call for much uneasiness.
To keep the party in good shape and
not to SOW discord would seem to be
more to the point now. There seems
10 be fear that somebody wants to
succssd himself and that there may be
= possibility Of his doing 1t. If he has
shown himself TO be the proper sort of
officer why not give him another
chance, especially il he has much work
with little pay? 1t Ia said that sena-

Gouennnent Greatly Needs Efficient
 Workmen in Ship-B Building Yards

the freight with the exception of food and fuel, came not because of fall ing down on the part of the carriers themselves, but because of the lack of ships. The reason for this is plain. The speeding up of the Amer ican factories piled in the Eastern seaports, and packed into every rail- way siding outside of the seaboard cities, thousands of loaded cars of materials for the war zone. The re- suit was that even the coal required for the ships in harbor could not get through, and even the few ships which we now possess were held in harbor by empty bunkers and could not sail.
 Until we have ships to clear the Atlantic ports of manufactured goods, for which our army in France and our allies are in need, these enforced holl- days and embargoes must recur, with l the result that no factory in Ameri- ca can be assured of running full time and no workman can count on con- tinuous employment. If you can drive this home to your people; if this lesson, through con- stant repetition, can be thoroughly learned; there is no doubt that you will get your quota of the necessary men.
 1 1t is not mere numbers that count Lit is the efficiency of the men en- rolled.
 1 1t is as much to the interest of the manufacturer to send his best men to the shipyaYds as it is to the interest of the man himself to go.
 If the use of my name will in any way help you in your work, you have the authority to use it, quoting from this statement, to the end that the people from your district may realize once and for all that on labor depends the construction of the needed ships, and on these ships depend not only the war itself, but the present indus trial life of the nation.
 Yours respectfully,

Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board Explains Situation in Let
 ter to Chairman Stayton.

The following letter has been re- ceived by Jos. M. Stayton, chairman of the Jackson County Council of Defense, from Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the Shipping Board, and is published for the benefit of the public, in that an insight may be gained of the needs of the ship build ing departments:
 Washington, D. C.,
 Feb. 5, 1918. MT. Joseph M. Stayton, Chairman, Jackson County, Council of Defense, Newport, Arkansas,
 Dear Mir. Stayton:-Because of your official position, and the vital importance of the work of enrolling the United States Shipyard Volun- teers. in which you are engaged, 1 desire to lay before you a statement outlining the ship-building situation.
 The information herein contained is placed at your disposal, for use as you may see fit in obtaining the en- rollment of the necessary men for the United States Shipyard Volunteers.
 Our shipbuilding program contem- plates the construction of six million tons annually, but owing to the want of the necessary skilled men, we are not under present conditions in po- sition to turn out that tonnage.
 The Shipping Board has the money It has the yards. It has the material The housing question is being rapidly cleared up. All that is needed IS to obtain the necessary efficient labor.
 It should be brought home to em- blowers and to the employees of the industries of the nation that then own future depends on the construc- tion of these ships. The fact IS thai the recent order issued by Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield, closing the fac tories of the whole country, ana tne more recent freight embargo lssueo by Secretary McAdoo, tying up al

governor for failure to render this favor to great state.

A beautiful feature of the great vol ume of patriotic service that is being pushed forward in Newport is that 1t is the work of united townspeople. For this the town should be thankful and proud. Both the men and the women are doing their share in unity, and Newport has established record which. we believe. cannot be equalled by any other little city of similar size in Arkansas.
 When two men are trying to get rid of a third, everybody can tell what they are trying to do except the third. If the two men have planned to eat lunch together they become nervous several minutes before time to go. One of them looks at his watch, says if is five minutes after certain time and slaps his hands together, hoping that the noise will break up the crowd. But old Third stays with them. Then the other man gets up, stretches, and says he is going home He takes a few steps away from the others in an effort to get Third in the notion of leaving. At last they pet rid of him, after both have declar- ed their intention of going home They go to restaurant, and when they are seated moment they see Third enter. He sits where he car see them, and for week both of them are unusually nice to him. They take him to lunch several times so he will understand that they were not trying to get away from him.
