HEIGHT THAT FEW ATTAIN
Not Many People Can Boast Their
Complete Guiltlessness of the
~. "Seven Deadly Sins"

The "seven deadly SINS are pride,
envy. lust, avarice, anger, sloth and
gluttony.
The fathers, the sages, the wise
men of the world, handing down from
one generation to another through the
centuries what they had observed and
learned, at last agreed that all our
spiritual and mental miseries, as we'll
as most of our physical sufferings,
come from an indulgence in the
thoughts and actions included in the
aforementioned list of sins.
Old-fashioned people used to keep
this list constantly before them, and
their spiritual and physical health
progressed or declined in the measure
that they were able or unable to con.
troll their thoughts and appetites.
In these modern days we are still
surprised to learn that the list of
seven deadly sins was ever even made,
and we are more surprised to know
that it is a list which really covers
the whole moral scheme of existence
The man who can finally subdue
himself into state in which he does
not break any of the laws for which
the seven deadly sins stand as in
Engagements, may well congratulate
himself. He is what we would call q
pretty good man, and we would like
to have him as neighbor. Not to be
proud, not to be envious, not to be
kstful, never to be avaricious or
angry, nor to be lazy man nor a
glutton, means that you need fear no
man or devil, and that you certainly
shall not be afflicted with govt.
BE good and you will be happy"
There's many saying, but there is
none better than that.

GOVERNOR BROUGH HAS
 CALLED FOR VOLUNTEERS
The Volunteers Will Be Protected by United States Troops; Must Dig
 Coal to Help Suffering.

Little Rock, Dec. 5.-(SpeciaD-Go Brough yesterday issued a call for vol unteers to mine and load coal. assur- ing them of the protection of the Uni ted States troops. He sent the fellow ing telegram to State Mine Inspector Thomas H. Shaw:
 For the sake of suffering humanity, prompt action must be had! in connec- tion with coal situation. l am deter mined that the thousands in this state, who are dependant upon coal for fuel. shall not suffer if I can prevent it. { have given every consideration to free labor and would prefer now that it be handled that way. Too much time ha 5 been wasted already. Therefore, must know immediately if you will furnish labor. No further uuibbling on this question will be tolerated. The people are entitled to this consideration anl this consideration they must have
 Gov. Brough conferred with the mem- bers of the Penitentiary Commission Wednesday evening and they assured the governor that the convicts would be placed at his disposal in the event volunteers were not secured to load the slack coal already on the surface and to provide also lump coal for do- nestle consumers.
 Governor Brough is very anxious that this drastic alternative will not be necessary as he intends to wait at least "A hours for his response to his cali for volunteers.

SUGAR WILL LIKELY GO
 KiGHER AFTER DEC, 3f
Government Will NOt Fix Sugar Price After December 31; Is Expected
 to be Much Higher.

Washington, Dec 5.-The govern ment will not attempt to control the disposition and sale of sugar after the sugar equalization board is dissolved on December 31.
 Attorney General Palmer. in making this announcement today said that as nc funds had been provided by con gress for carrying on the work of han ding sugar, the department of justice would confine it's efforts to the punish ment of profiteers.
 In explaining the abandonment of the program for defeating the sugar shortage, Mn. Palmer said he had put the proposition up to congress, as he lacked both the power and the facil- ities for obtaining tangable results. y After the officials had outlined plans Tor a continuance of the control under the provision under the department of justice, he said the necessary funds and authority were not forthcoming.
 The department will continue to hand down profiteers but without means of checking up on the cost to the refiner or without control of the price at which the supplies come into this coun- try, it was believed domestic consum CTS would be forced to pay high prices after January l.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
 IS BEGINNING TO OPEN
The Old Time Politician is Anxious to Reopen the Campaign; Many Will
 Enter the Races.
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, Dec. 5.-(SpeciaD- longing of the old time politician for a reopening of the political game is about to be gratified. The smounder- ing embers cannot much longer resist intoTa blaze that will sweep the state Whether the Common People, the great class of political non-consumers who are relied upon to pull chestnuts out cf the fire, will respond as enthusias- tically as in "the good old days re- mains to be seen.
 Out of the confusion of candidator- lal gossip there is sure to come some thing definite. soon after the first of the year. Even that will give eight months for the running, long enough to wind the quarterhorses, and estab- lish the staying qualities of those who are better fitted to stay in the race.
 At the present time, it appears that the races for United States Senator Governor, Auditor, Secretary of State and several members of congress will furnish the chief diversion There may be other contests, but they are not developing so far.
 It is doubtful 1.-the old conditions are ever revived, for politics of the old school is no longer as popular as it once was, the reason, if for no other that the people are better employed in business interests.
 They are not likely to forget that their business interests are deeply con cerned in the personnel of their public fficials and in the adoption of safe and sane policies, but they will not make politics their chief end and aim for months, and permit political raneor and personal prejudicies to run riot. IT. is believe dthat sanity will rule more than ever before in the selection of public officials.
 There has never been a time in the History of the state when all classes and conditions of people have been sQ engrossed in the prosecution of their own affairs, and the making of money. Business was never better, nor trade more lucrative in all lines, as now, whether because of or despite the high cost of everything is not known, and can only be matter of surmisel

AND SEWERAGE
 DISTRICT AUDIT IS MADE
Complete Report in Three Volumns Covers Everything-ShOrt on the
 Collections $4,S43.61.

Some time ago and after the city council took over the operation of the WaterWorks of the city the firm of Burel-Cameron Audit Company of Memphis and Little Rock were em- ployed to audit the books of the two districts. This work has been com pleted and the report has been filed with the mayor and city council It may be seen in the office of City Attor- ney Ben Shaver at any time by anyone wishing to look over it. It is most volumnous report in three volumns, one for Waterworks District No 1, one for Sewerage District Mo- 1 and one devoted to water rentals and operation. It is too large for publication. It shows every transaction from the con struction of the plant until the report was made It would require most careful study to reduce the statement to brief form that would show the general condition of the two districts at a glance. It shows that the financi- al affairs are generally in a good shape The worst features are in the fact that there are large number of delin quents, both on taxes and on water rentals.
 Fore the five years the taxes uncol- lected by the sewerage districts were as follows: 1915, $27.17; 1916, $259.- 9S; 1877, $725S3 1918, $991.51. Total sewerage tax delinquent, $2004.49.
 Water district uncollected taxes are: 1915, $3291; 1916, $353.SS; 1917, $733.- 92; 1918, $1,237.S6. Total water tax delinquent $234Oi57
 Water rentals uncollected total $498.55.
 Total of taxes and rentals uncollect- ed during five years $4,843.61.
 The names of those parties who are shown delinquent on the tax books and for water rentals comprises quite numerous list, some delinquent for small amounts and some for amounts that run into larger figures.

84 LEADERS OF MINERS
 TO BE HELD IN CONTEMPT
Alleged They Have C0nspired to Keep Strike ill Force; Indictments
 Are Found.

Indianapolis, Dec. 8 - The United States government today again invoked the powers of the federal court in an effort to end the strike of 100000 bi- luminous coal miners of the country
 Information charging criminal con- tempt of court was filed in the United States District Court here against S4 international and district officers of the United Mine Workers of America, named in the court injunction issued immediately after the strike was called and requiring their appearance to aus wer the charges, were issued late to- day. It is alleged that all the officers have conspired to keep the strike in force and thus have violated the terms ot the injunction
 Acting president John L. Lewis, ecretary-Treasurer William Green, Percy Tetlow, statistician and Ellis Scales, editor of the Mine Workers Journal the only officers of the or ganization in Indianapolis, were mo- t:lled of the action and agreed to re- port in court tomorrow to furnish bond fixed at $10,000 by Federal Judge A. E Anderson. Other officers in the iurs- diction of the federal court here wifi be served as soon as possible and ali will be required to appear at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning for hearing
 Union Officials Liable.
 Tt is the governments purpose Mir. Sims said, ito continue prosecu ticn as fast as evidence car be pre-. pared and filed with the court against all officers of every local who are con- spirltg by concerted effort to keep the strike Tn force. Refusal to return to work, if miner knows of the injunc- ton and the subsequent order of the union officials resembling the strike order, constitutes violation of the in junction, and the government will pro- cecd Gil this theory, regardless of whether officers are guilty of some specific act of encouragement of the strike.
 The government waited patiently while the conference was going on in Washington, hoping that some plan for averting the impending disaster, consenuent on the shortage of fuel, would be evolved. After the confer ence closed the government directed the operators to reopen neither mines and advance wages IA per cent The government again waited patiently for some action on the part of the miners looking toward resumption of work. The officials not only failed to make any efforts to bring about an end to the strike, but in numerous statements to the Associated Press and newspapers encouraged its continuance. During every moment of this period of waiting all officers of the union have violated the injunction and the government has exhausted it's patience.
