uBy BOOZE CAN'T COME BACK.

" .
 There are HOO vacant cells in Phil adelphia's house of correction. TWO branches of the municipal court Of Chicago, which deal with criminal eases. have been closed. For the first time in the history of East Saint Louis there were no prisoners in the city iail at 8 o'clock March 5, and no arrests had been made for l2 hours. East St. Louis, you may remember was once the scene of great race riot that lasted for days. For more than 24 hours, recent day, there was not an arrest for any cause in Colum- bus, the capital of Ohio. Arrests for drunkenness in Detroit in 1919, num- bered SPAS, and in 1917, 19,309. Vlo- lation of law has decreased one-half in San Francisco within year. Bos- tons municipal lodging house TOT tramps has been closed. Baltimores .iail board reports 1892 fewer com mitments in 1919 than in 1918.
 When prohibition does these things, how far do the whiskey politicians and the brewers and distillers think they are going to get with their booze rebellion in the United States. The Bryan victory in Nebraska was not so much a personal victory for Bryan as is was a blow aimed at the Nebraska booze faction-Capper's Weekly.

Two men were heard talking on the streets. One said, Corn will be $30O a bushel next year, and folks are won dering what they are going to do ' The other replied, "It is not too late, better raise some of it." It is going to be lot easier to raise bushel of corn than to raise $500. It is also going to be easier to raise the equiva- lent in hay than the three dollars. The banks cant carry this years load and next years too. This was only heard in passing, and it seemed worth while repeating,

KILLS NEGRO, DRACS BODY THREE MILES
 TO RAILROAD TRACK
Slayer Then is Arrested But Successfully Makes His
 Escape

Timothy Lester, negro, is at large after escaping from Dumas officers, and after killing Ernest King, another negro, whose body he is said to have hauled three miles and placed on the railroad tracks. Tuesday night the ne- groes are reported to have gotten into difficulty and Lester struck King over the head with a piece of iron pipe. King soon died and Lester, fearing the law, forced Will Walker, negro boy, to help him haul Kings body three miles to the railroad tracks where it was placed in the middle of the track.
 When the north bound Iron Noun tain struck the negro's body, just this side of Dumas, it was at first thought that the negro had met his death from being struck by the train. But bruises were noticed on his head, and officers who investigated soon arrested Les ter. As Lester was being taken to Du- mas to jail he escaped from Deputy Westbrook and has not been appre- hended.
 Ernest King, the murdered negro was about 35 years old.

 So says Miss Lois Kadle who re- sides at the home of E. M. Ross, 1902 Cherry. A year ago Miss Kadle in- vested $10 with the Great American Oil company of Ranger, Tex, in a small acreage. Recently the leases were sold and Miss Kadle this week received a check for $1 200 from the company as her return on the in- vestment. Miss Kadle received the check Tuesday.
 Miss Kadle was a stenographer fer the company's Little Rock office at the time of buying the lease and says that she had forgotten all about buying the small leasage until this week, when she received the check Since coming to Pine Bluff she has been employd by the Home 1nsur- ance agency, but will soon leave fo' a vacation trip to California to visit her brother, who is an aviator, sta toned near Los Angeles.

'side of justice and right; should oc- casion require.
 The republican party stands for
 agreement among the nations to pre-
 serve the peace of the world. We be-
 liece that such an international as socIation must be based upon inter national justice and must provide
 methods which shall maintain the rule of public right by development ot impartial courts and which shall secure instant and general interna=
 tional conference whenever peace shall be threatend by political ac- tion, so that the nations pledged to do and insist upon what is just and fair may exercise their influence and power for the prevention of war.
 We believe that all this can be done without the compromise of national independence, without depriving the people of the United States in ad
 vance of the right to determine for themselves what is just and fair, when the occasion arises, and with
 out involving them as participants
 and not as peacemakers in multi tude of quarrels the merits of which they are unable to judge.

IL Condemns Wilson. Praises Senate, Endorses Prin-
 ciple DECLARATION HEDGED
 BY MANY PHRASES
Principle of International Peace Concert in Harmony With American Traditions" is
 Strongest Statement

Chicago, June 10 Reseuine the party by eleventh hour compromise from a threatened split on the league of nations issue the republican na- tional convention tonight adopted platform and then adjourned to nomi- nate candidate tomorrow.
 Harmony on the league issue was reached after many hours of heated negotiations revolving about the sub- committee on resolutions but bring
 ing into consultation first and last virtually all the big men of the party In the end the irreeoneilables and mild reservationists accepted a treaty plank drafted by Elihu Root before his departure for Europe several weeks ago but revised in some detail to meet the views of the contending clements. It condemns President Wilson's lea gue covenant, upholds the senate in it's rejection of the treaty and en- dorses the principle of an interna- tional peace concert in harmony with American traditions
 ! After impatently marking time all day for the resolutions committee to complete it's work the tired convention received with cheers the reading of the platform by Senator Watson of | Indiana, the committee chairman, and adopted it with great chorus of cheers, it nearly drowned out a mi- nority report presented by Edwin J. Gross, the Wisconsin member of the committee and signed only by himself. 1 The substitute provided fat rejection of the league idea, advocated govern ment ownership of railroads, and com bined other proposals which the con- vention hooted as "socialism.'
 The relative chance of the presiden- tal candidates apparently was little affected by the platform agreement and on convention eve there was in evidence no development which chang ed the situation with Wood, Johnson and Lowden leading but without any of them having delegates to nominate.
 So far as the talk of. those on the | inside revealed, the attainment of harmony over the troublesome treaty plank had no reflection on any of the candidates except possibly in the case of Senator Johnson. He will not now appear on the convention floor and that is disappointment to his sup-
 porters who had believed that the ap- I pearance of their leader in treaty fight would help his fight for the
 nomination.
 In accord with the plan to finish
 up the convetion's work on a skip- stop schedule it was agreed to convene at 9 a. m. and to hurry through the
 nomination speeches and remain in continuous session until candidate is nominated.
 The pain seemed acceptable to most
 of the campaign managers and it suited the delegates because they are
 worn out and anxious for the big
 show to end.
 , The convention held two sessions tdday. Meeting first at Ii a. m. it
 quickly adjourned when word was brought that the work of the resolu- tions committee still was uncompleted. The second session began at D. m and then two hours were whiled away in music, speeches and cheering be- fore Senator Watson brought in the q platform.

Chicago, June 1O.- The league of nations plank is as follows:
 "Fhe foreign policy of the admin istration has been founded upon no and directed by no definite conception of cur nations rights and obligations. It has been humiliating to America and irritating to other nations, with the result that after a period of uneXampled sacrifice. our motives are suspected, our moral in fIuence impaired and our government stands discredited and friendless among the nations of the world.
 We favor liberal and generous foreign policy founded upon definite moral and political principles. char acterized by a clear understanding of and firm adherence to our own rights, and unfailing respect for the rights of others We should afford full and adequate protection to the life, liberty and property and all in- ternational rights of every American citizen and should require proper respect for the American flag, but We should be careful to manifest a just regard for the rights of other of our international engagements when lawfully assumed is essential to our own honor and self respect and the respect of other nation. Subject to due regard for our international obligations, we should leave our coun- try free to develop it's civilization along the line most conductive to the happiness and welfare of the peo- pie and to cast it's influence on the
