T. W. GAVIN FOR TREASURER

Thomas W. Gavin of Eagle township authorizes the Log Cabin Democrat to announce his candidacy for treasurer of Faulkner county, subject to the action of the Democratic primary of August 10. MT. Gavin is rock-rib- bed Democrat who has fought the bat ties of his party all his life and who stayed with the party in days when It took courage to do so. He has never held county office, but is well qualified to fill the position he seeks. For 45 years he has lived in the same rural community, where he has al- ways been one of it's leading citizens, ever taking prominent part in all movements or enterprises for the bet terment of the community. His ac- quaintance throughout the county is wide and he had friends in every town ship, but if anyone desires to ascertain what kind of man he is, Mir. Gavin only asks that they inquire of his neighbors with whom he has lived for nearly a helf-century.

A cement famine" is causing de- lays to a number of building opera tions in Conway at present.

A copy of the patent attached to the suit shows the signature of James Buchanan as president. Mir. Thomas further asserts that he pur- chased the island from w. B.

Letter from Governor Expected t, End Controversy Over Case of
 Cleburne County Men.

A letter which Governor Brough wrote to the post commander of the Heber Springs American Legion, in which he explains his reasons for granting a stay of sentence to Tom Addison and states positipely that he will never grant pardon to either Tom or Bliss Adkisson, is expected to end the controversy which has arisen in both Cleburne and Faulkner counties over efforts to secure a par don for the elder Addison.
 Governor Brough's letter in full follows:
 MT. Neal Reed, Post Commander,
 Saxton-Willis Post No 64, Heber
 Springs, Ark.
 My Dear MT. Replying to the original copy of the resolution passed by the SaXon-Willis Post No. 64 of the American Legion of Heber Springs on Sunday, May 23, 1920, will you kindly convey to the post the fol- lowing statement of the governor?
 ''The two stays of execution gran%
  July 20. They were granted on pc titions by ex-Gov. Donaghey, Senator Hartje of Faulkner county and a large delegation of citizens from Faulkner county, who represented to the gov ernor that Tom Adkisson had large crop now in course of cultivation and to compel him to enter the peniten- tiary in March, and later in May, would work great hardship on his family, consisting of wife and four children, dependent upon him for sup port.
 'The governor stated to both dele gations that he would not pardon either of the Adkissons, as he be- lieves them both guilty of the murder of Porter Hazlewood, splendid mem Der of the sheriff's posse, on Sunday morning, July [, 1918. Those stays of execution were granted with the distinct understanding that the gov ernor would not consider any appli- cation for an absolute pardon. He regards both of these men as draft resisters, and when the life of our nation as well as the lives of our pa triotic citizens were in jeopardy no worse crime could be perpetrated than a mutiny against constituted author ity.
 "A strong pressure has been brought to bear upon me to grant a pardon to the older Adkisson. 1 beg to assure you gentlemen that as long as l am governor neither of the Adkissons shall receive pardon at my hands, but I do feel that teh dictates of common humanity warrant the grant ing of the stays of execution for the saving of a crop that had already been planted, upon which the wife and four children of Addison depended for their livelihood
 "No one is more sympathetic with the patriotic attitude of the Ameri- can Legion than am, and the splendid members of your post deserve the gratitude of their commonwealth and their country for their heroic sacri- fees in behalf of great cause You are justified in the expression of righteous indignation against the murderer of one of your comrades, and beg to assure you that I have no sympathy with the heinous crime which the Adkissons perpetrated' '

ROSALIE..

Rosalie and Rose appear to be of
the same general root, the more eu-
phonious name of Rosalie being a
French extraction. A curious point
is that the color rose is irrevocabIy
associated with the name Rosalie,
as well as Rose.
The history of the name Rosalie
Is most interesting. 1t first was
given to fair women of France and
1t was there that st. Dominic ar
ranged series of devotions by
means of telling beads upon a
string. These formed the rosarium,
or rose garden. or freely translated,
delights Of devotion. The Rosarium
has a day to itself in the Roman
calendar and may possibly have
named the transatlantic saint Rosa
di Luina, which gave rise to Rosita.
Switzerland calls her Rosel and
France Rosine or Rosette. In Eng
land she is Rosanne. sometimes Ros-
abella. meaning beautiful rose"
From Italy comes Rosina and Ros-
eta. A more rare. but no less
charming Interpretation. is RoseaI-
ba, signifying white rose"
There are red roses and white
roses and yellow roses in nature,
yet the real rose Is the deep pink
and the bearer of the name or any
of its derivatives should surround
herself with these flowers IL she
would wish the psychic atmosphere
which. their quality insures. Her
jewel is that rare. beautiful gem,
the fiame-hearted ruby 1t denotes
pride and haughtiness and appoints
Tuesday as the fortunate day for
its wearer and . the lucky number.

There Is no sort of a gold brick
that isn't offered her for sale. Min
ing promoters with mythical gold
and silver mines in the heart OF

by a dying missionary. whisper in
her ear that because she has made
such an impression on him they will

themselves hoarse trying to induce
her to buy corner lots in q swamp
at Broadway prices. Get-rich-auick
concerns camp on her trail. and play
upon her cupidity by trying to con-
vince hor of the folly of taking five
per cent on a good bond while you
can make twenty-five per cent by
taking a chance in the sure thing
they handle.
Worse still. men who are bound
to her by ties of blood and old
friendship. trade upon her affection
and her trust to borrow her money
when they know that they have no
security to give her that any bank
would take as collateral, and that
they are taking advantage of her
being a woman to rob her.
This may seem a hard indictment
OF man but 1t Is no harder than the
bitter truth. Look about YOU at the
husbands who have cheated even
their wives out of their inheritances.
Look at the brothers who have got
ten the lions share in the winding
up of estates. Look at the widows
who have been beggared by the
trustees of their husbands Wills.
Look at the poor. helpless. starv-

through being cajoled into signing
papers they did not understand. or
through lending to Cousin Thomas,
whom they trusted so much because
he was a deacon in the church, and
prayed so beautifully, that they
never thought of asking for a first
mortgage on anything by way of
protecting themselves.
When one thinks of how little the
average woman knows about bust
ness; when one considers how help
a dollar IL she Is thrown on her own
resources; when one remembers how
hard the woman who works earns
her little money. and by what
crimping and self-denial she saves
up her pitiful little hoard of dollars,
1t would seem that she must make
an irresistible appeal to any chivalry.
and pity and kindness in a mans
heart. and that few men could be
/ brutal and callous enough to be
willing to cheat her out of the
money that means far more to her
than money can ever mean to a man.
But so far from this being the
case the sight of a woman's pocket
book appears to rouse all the sneak
thief instincts in many mems
. breasts. and unless she has a death
grip on IL they snatch Il and run
away.
! OF course there are many excep-
/ tions to this rule. There are many
men who are fair and honest with
women. and who protect them even
against themselves. but the great
. majority of men are far less honest
with women than they are with
other men.
