THE LIGHT SITUATION.

The root of the whole trouble that the light company is having is the lack of power equipment. It doesn't require an expert to tell why the flow ot .,'.iCe is cratic and irregular. The men at the plant are doing marvelously we'll taking into consideration that the en-
 zines have not only seen their best GGys, but are taxed with an overload that it steadily growing heavier. The impossible is too much to expect, and il is impossible for Ashdown to have anything but failing service with the present plant. Even before the Ire last spring we were told that a big new engine would arrive soon We are still told the same thing from time to time. We have seen foundation laid for the engine itself, but founda- tion without an engine produces no power. We do not know the men higher up nor their manner of reason ing. They may even think that a ser- wee can be improved by new poles, new wireing and b1gger loads. ,'hese things are all we'll, but it seems that the juice factory should come first Ashdown wants a steady and reliable service. It believes that the people who furnish it will make money. Ash down doesn't care who furnishes that service. The people have been very patient, hoping for better things. We have come to depend on a light plant for lights, water and power. Every lapse causes financial loss. It is a situation that cannot be treated ligdt- ly. A big fire and the plant down good night. No use blaming the lccal employees. They are having a hard time too, trying to keep the wheels turning over. The past month has seen one of the engines down most Of the time and the other worked to death and down at intervals. We honestly don't see how We have as good a ser vice as we do have. It should be de- manded that the company remedy this situation at once They should be glad to do it, but do it they should
 They should do it to improve the service; they should do it because it is business and the only road to profits; and finally they should do it, be- fore the public ceases to be patient

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Supreme Court Renders Decision i'll
 Liquor Case Monday.

Little Rock, Nov. 11.-(SpeciaD-An important decision was rendered in the Supreme Court yesterday defining the transportation of liquor as contemplat- ed by the acts of 1917 and 1919. It was in White county case, being the case of man arrested at Beebee on a charge of transporting contraband liq- uor in suit cases which he had placed Il the locker of a caboose on the Iron Mountain road.
 The appellant was passenger on the caboOse, but fled as soon as the sheriff boarded the caboose at Beebe, for the purpose of making search. He ran through the woods followed by the deputy sheriff and came back to the train at point between stations. When arrested he surreptitiously took the key winch fitted the lock on one of the suit cases, out if his pocket and drop ped it on the ground, where the officer picked it up. The cases were opened and found filled with bottles of liquor.
 The court holds that Under the law as it now stands it is unlawful to transport intoxicating liquors into the state, or from one place to, another in the state, for any purpose whatever, except wine for sacramental and alco- hol for medical, industrial and scient fife purposes

Tuesday, November II, Was Armi- stice Day, a new National holiday, making the first year of peace. Nov ember II will become one of the mile stones in the history of this nation as we'll as all the allied nations of the world. On this day just one year ago the last gun was fired in the great war which broke on a startled world in August, 1914 The bloodiest struggle involving more nations in the history of the world, and bringing greater changes, possibly than any other, had come to an end. Some five million Americans were under arms These soldiers had accomplished a great task for democracy throughout the world. The task that faces them and all of us today is to keep intact what has been won. There are in the world forces in action that would destroy democracy itself, even all oganized so- ciety and establish an autocracy of blood and anarchy more terrible than an autocracy of kings We should re- new our allegiance to liberty and not license and resolve again to make and to keep this country better and filter place to live in.

was presented at the Masonic Audi

mighty conflict just ended, was con-
veyed by a vividness of description
gained by personal observat ion: the
lecturer having accompanied the
American forces to the front, and by
a succession of motion films, which
pictured every step of the way '~The
business of war;" in which this coun-
try, employing labor from every cor
ner of the globe, built up the most
colossal organization the world has
ever known" was illustrated by word
and film visions of American cities in
the heart of France. each center SUP
piled with every necessary for the
safety. comfort and pleasure of the
American Army. The bombing of a
hospital by the Germans and the ten

contrast in war manners, and as a
closing feature of a program that
thrilled with its revelations of war

Freight Traffic Declines.

Preliminary reports TO jne railroad
administration indicate that freight
traffic fell off in December. with the
virtual stopping OF great food ship
ments destined for Europe and the
cessation of the hauling of other war
materials. while expenses could not
be reduced materially. This cond:-
tlon sent the net earnings, or railway
operating income, which has been
declining steadily since the record
month of last July, to PROBABLY $25,-
01e 000 or $40 000 coo, officials believe.
This may be compared to income of
$50, ,204 .000 in December of 1917. when
bli7zards and curtailment of traffic
sent earnings to what was then con-
sidered very low record
The outstanding features Of the rail-
way earnings situation last year were
that freight and passenger rates
were increased to yield about $780,
100000 annually. or $3.50. 100000 in
the six months during which they
were effective. while wage advances
added s636.00o.o0o to operating ex-
penses These are the latest estf-
mates of railroad administration ac-
countants, but are not considered
final. Wages particularly may prove
to amount to more than is now be-
lieved.
Pay Roll Increases 81 Per Cent.
The railroad administration ac-
countan S now report that In 1918 the
SI.710,000,000 pay roll of the year
previous was increased 81 per cent
and that consequently s2,346. .000.00
was paid out last year to the 100000
railway employees. Many wage in
creases were effective for only the
latter part of the year. and if these
run through the presen. year. even
without other additions which may
come from action on pending applica-
tions for more pay, they would make
$7S4, 100000 additional wages The
wage level at the end of 1918 was a
little more than IS per cent higher
than at the beginning of the year.
