A MARVELLOUS NEW
 MULTIPLIER PHONE

1t was announced recently tha Major General George o. Squire l Chief Signal Officer of the Army ha recently perfected marvellous devic by means of which it is possible t. : transmit simultaneously, in connec
 ton with single wire, from ten t,
 perhaps fifty telephonic communica
 tlons without interference.
 1t is also said that this new method
 makes the scope of long distance tel.
 ephone communication almost limit.
 less, so that conversation between
 Nome, Alaska, and Rio Janeiro or
 Buenos Aires will soon be possible and practicable.
 The system used is said to be a combined wire and wireless arrange ment, the radio currents being trans mltted along the line of a single wire and tied to" the wire, as it were. The Squire method also increases the frequency and rapidity of the vibra- tions so that they "step up" to as high as 500,O00 cycles a second, as compared with a frequency of from but 750 to 2,50O cycles a second en- ployed on the ordinary telephone wire.
 This new method of communication is expected not only greatly to relieve the congestion of ordinary telephone or telegraph service but it is said that it will enable conversation to be carried on between passengers on moving trains and persons at fixed points. It is also stated that the in- stallation of the new method will in- volve but little expense, it being pos sible to use for the purpose wires al- ready in service.
 While the invention has been pat ented, General Squire has, it is said, renounced all of his patent rights in favor of the public, his entire pur- pose during the years that it has talk en him to develop and perfect his in vention being, according to the state ments made by his friends, to bene- fit humanity.
 A pioneer in wireless work as we'll as in aviation, General Squire was at one time associated with William Marconi and was also Orville Wright's first passenger. It is said that, while he has many inventions to his credit, all of them have been turned over either to the Government or to the public. His idea regarding the matter, is, to use his own words, 'when an army man begins to think about money, he begins to forget about the army"

Lewis Outlines
 His Views for
 Party Platform

Chicago, June 23.-James Hamilton Lewis, former United States senator for Illinois and candidate for the democratic vice, presidential nomin- ation.r announced today the platform he will urge "in my own behalf, as we'll as upon the convention for the democrats" He left tonight for San Francisco.
 "At San Francisco we must do things for our people at home," he said, Eff the democracy will not do things for people the people will do things to the democracy"
 If President Wilson in recent interview meant to say "that the league of nations was to be the su- preme and the sole issue," MT. Lewis said he could not agree with him. Ut is only one of the great issues.
 "The league of nations and peace treaty should not be treated as sa. cred documents but be treated as sub ject to such amendment as the needs of our country and justice to the victorious and defeated people de- mands."

Declares That Citizens Fail to
 Govern Selves

Cambridge, Mass, June 23.-Chas. E. Hughes, speaking at the centenary of Harvard Law school here today. declared that "In the art of governing ourselves we not only fall short of what we should expect in free peo- pie of great intelligence but we fre- quently present sorry spectacle. His subject was "some observations on legal education and democratic prin- ciples.
 "A passion for legislation is not a sign of democratic progress" he said "and in the mass of measures intro duced in the legislatures of our free commonwealth, there is too little evil dence of perspective and an abundance of elaborate and dreary utilities. Oc- constructive measure of great beenfit is skillfully planned, but we are constantly impressed with the lost motion and the vast waste in the endeavor of democracy to function wisely"
 "The regrettable thing" Mir. Hughes continued is "that the tend ency to enact uncertain laws seems to be increasing and, what is still worse, that the people tolerate it and that there are but faint demands for inn provement. Our material progress seems to have created complexities beyond the political competency, and disregarding the lessons of history there has been disposition to revert to the methods of tyranny in order to meet the problems of democracy. In- tent on some immediate exigencies and with slight consideration of larger issues, we create autocratic power by giving administrative officials who can threaten indictment the importun- ities of criminal statutes without any appropriate definition of crime. "We cannot afford to ignore the in
 dications that perhaps to an extent
 unparalleled in our history, the essen- tials of liberty are being disregarded Very recently, information has been
 laid by responsible citizens at the bar

Chautauqua for
 Next Year Uncertain

Unless at least 26 additional sign CTS put their names on cards each of which obligates the signer for seven adult tickets. it is very doubtful if Pine Bluff secures a chautauqua for 1921.
 The chautauqua which closed last night at the High school auditorium is universally conceded to be the strongest program which has ever been presented by the Redpath- Horner people in Pine Bluff.
 During today MT. Day, assisted by several of the local committee, will make campaign to secure the 26 ad ditional signers, and if they are se- cured contract will be executed for the 1921 season.

favor of the government taking the railways, waterways, telegraph lines, oil and coal lands from private monopoly and assuming control for the people, leaving the method of operation by private or public agen- cy as the conditions of each concern may warrant.
 Other blanks demanded announce ment of "the new doctrine of an American foreign policy; that every American in any land carries the pro- lection of his whole country to his life or his property. wherever locat. ed, that "we should express sympa- thy in behalf of any aspiring repub- lie. giving Ireland the fullest aid our institutions permit, "that we provide that complaints of high prices should have hearing before tribunal, with power to declare a fair price, then punish as crimin- als those who violate the decision of the fair price,"
 In asserting that the league of na- tions cannot be the only issue in the coming campaign, MT. Lewis said: We now owe something at home. We must propose measures forsthe re- lief of the United States. We must make an issue of the deliberate cause of the republicans to propose one measure to reduce the high cost of living, or to provide for the home less; the refusal to deny that it was their intention to repeal the present federal reserve bank ,and the farm loan law.
 "The democracy must make plat form at San Francisco that is af- flrmative, constructive, and which promises the continuance of the poli cies of enrichment of this land and the protection of Americans leaving Europe and foreign questions to be taken up where such can be done without the abandonment of the American in his first rights" the senator's platform concluded

6. P. GOULD ASKS ENDORSEMENT TERM
 ::AS TAX ASSESSOR

Clayton P. Gould announced he is candidate for the democratic nomi- nation for tax assessor of Jefferson county for an endorsement term. MT. Gould is now serving his first term as assessor, and while his friends are assured that his efficient service will win for him second term without contest? MT. Gould says he hopes the fact that he is not opposed will not deter any democratic men and women from casting ballots for him, and that he will be grateful for this demonstration of approval of his ef- forts.
 Before undertaking the assesorship, MT. Gould served for several years as county surveyor, and the experience and knowledge of land values gained in that position has enabled him to render as assessor services to taxpay- CTS not incumbent upon the occupant of that position-such as correcting land descriptions, and estimating at fair values the real property in the Couuty. nSScSSOT GOulu dlSO mas en- deavored to explain clearly to all the new assessment law under which he was the first Jefferson county as- sessor to make assessment. This law is so different from the old that there was some confusion, but under MT. Gould's direction the assessments were made, his friends assert, as ac- curately and as impartially as could be effected.
 Though MT. Gould used the newspa- pers and in other ways advertised the time for assessing, there were some who were tardy. Instead of collecting the penalty imposed by law, MT. Gould refrained from imposing this penalty and this is pointed to as additional evidence of his sincere desire to ren- der real service to the taxpayers.
 Than MT. Gould there are few men in the county better known, or in whom more confidence is reposed. He expects to be re-nominated and re- elected, and declares he will strive just as hard to give satisfactory ser vice during his endorsement term as he has in the first year and half he has been in office.
