 Life Really Is.

Members of the Pine Bluff Boy Scout troops yesterday gave Pine Bluffians an idea of what being a Boy Scout is.
 They began early yesterday morn- ing by pitching tents on the court house lawn. Then they occupied them and went through with routine program of camp life. The bugle sounded reveille and retreat and "meas" throughout the day much to the delight of the scouts and the edi- fication of the passing Pine Bluff fans.
 Semaphore and wig-wag signal con- versation also was a part of the days program. From the courthouse steps members of the troops took turn about in talking with other scouts stationed in front of the Cotton Belt bank, six blocks distant. The boys will camp on the court house lawn for the duration of the coming drive.
 The days program was a part of the educational work that is to be dcne preparatory to the campaign to be launched here May 27 and which will result in obtaining $ls,00O for the Boy Scout work Judge w. B Sorrells is to be in charge of the ~s m

Hon. J. T. Coston, of Mississippi County has been prevailed upon to become candidate for chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas subject to the action of the Demo- cratic voters in a primary election. I MT. Coston's experience as law yer is broad His practice is exten- sive. He is in the prime of life and, if elected, will be able to give his undivided attention to the servi- their Chief Justice.
 1 MT. Coston was born on Tennes- see farm. His early life was a struggle. He was field hand until he was 21 years old. He was admit ted to the law department of Van derbift University and completed 8 two years course in one year. In 1900 he began the practice of his profession in Osceola and, from that time forward, he has been constant ly engaged in the trial of heavy li- tigation arising in that section of the state. The first case he ever tried was lost in the lower court, but he won it in the Supreme Court.
 No Judge has even sat upon the Su- preme Bench of Arkansas who has had as many cases before that court as has MT. Coston. The hard work and the exacting duties of Su- preme Judge will not be an unusual experience to him. Hard work has always been his lot. When not en- gagged in the court room and in con- sultation, Mir. Coston is busy in his library, which consists of 4500 vol umes. Ameasure of his ability may De had from the fact that he has been appointed by the Supreme Court member of the committee for the examination of applicants for admis- sion to the bar in the second judi csal district.
 MT. Coston's candidacy is not self seeking or self inspired He was drawn into the race for Chief Justice by solicitations and pledges of sup port from every section of the state of Arkansas. A large number of the bar of Arkansas, from every section of the State, have pledged him their support.
 MT. Coston believes that the courts should not usurp the function of the legislature. The legislature makes laws. It is the business of the court to ascertain if these laws are III accord with the constitution. 4. It IS the duty of the courts to construe and apply laws; not to legislate.
 MT. Coston believes it is the duty of the judge to be above faction and

 strues the law, that he IS nv rior to the law. He is keenl to the fact that every man have his day in court ana no ii what his station is, ne Sn0u4 a square deal.

Warrant for Your
 Means Nothing
 to Man in Dublin

Dublin, May 19.-Scores of men in this city are lon the run which, in the parlance of the land means that the police or military hold warrants for thei rarrest, yet they go about the streets unmolested by policemen.
 Sim Feiners here, and incidentally few men will admit they are members of that organization, say that the po- lice are afraid to arrest one of their members on the streets because a crowd collects, often shots are fired and usually the prisoner is rescued. It is at night and at home that they are in danger of arrest, The police do not admit they are afraid to make an arrest in public but say they dis like to create a scene where many people may gather quickly.
 One of the runners confided some of his troubles to a newspaper man. He is 38 years of age, has wife and children and has served several terms as political prisoner. He said: "My wife and the kiddies are getting rath- CT tired of the suspense of not know ing whether 1 am coming home or go- ing to jail. l have four places where sleep. It is only at infrequent and irregular intervals that go home and then never to sleep in a bed. l roll up in blanket on a couch or floor partly dressed. If they come for me, which they have several times, l get out of the house aand they find no evidences that l have been there. l do not have to lay out along hedge or hide behind tree as long as l might if they knew l had been there and in ityatpd thOruph saarch
 "This is only an outline of the sort of life many of us are leading these days. We all follow about the same ystem in which much is left to chance but it really has kept many of us out of jail for intervals at least"

RAIL ROAD RATE BOOST
HELPS AUTO INDUSTRY
Many Commuters Now Using Motor
Cars in Order to Reduce
EXPENSES.

A new field of increased usefulness
for the automobile has been opened
by. the recent 20 per cent increase in
rail passenger rates and the SO per
cent increase in Pullman rates.
Apparently, the people have been
quick to sense the possibilities of
cheaper travelling opened by the motor
car Reports at one of the greatest
railroad centers in the country a few
days ago indicated that day-coach
travel has suffered noticeably because
of the increase.
How are these day-coach riders get
ting to and from their business and
their homes? In most cases the mo-
tor car is the answer to the question.
In some cases, reports show, COM
muters are paying a daily fee to the
owner Of some automobile for taking
them to and from work. Usually the
machine is owned by some neighbor.
The increase in Pullman rates is
expected to have decided effect on
ng-distance touring, although it is
too soon now to determine to just
what extent.
Motor car manufacturers and dis
tributers in general are looking to
the increased rail rates to increase
materially the demand for motor cars
because of the possibilities of in
creased usefulness to the public.

price or size" z::@s;=s: +: s:~s :ss.:s

This remarkable tribute from ma
ton which never lightly bestows
approval, but in a spirit Of sports
manship always admits and admires
a superior achievement, releases us,
we feel, from reticence which has
always governed our references to
the Cadillac.
The truth of the matter is that we
have never expressed to the Amer
lean people our own deep and in
nermost convictions concerning the
Cadillac.
We have RETAINED, from a sense Of
decent restraint, and because we
have always felt that the Cadillac
was it's own most eloquent exponent.
But we feel now, that we owe it
to more than a hundred thousand
American owners of the present
type Of Cadillac, to share this tribute
with them, and at the same time, to
set down, once and for all, an honest
belief concerning it, which we are
certain they share with us.
Heretofore, we may have seemed to
consent, by our silence, at least, to
the suggestion that a car equaling
the Cadillac might possibly be bought
at considerably higher price.
