take on a lively appearance of ex- citing political campaigns.
 The last week has developed only a few new features. Senator Kirby delivered his opening speech at Con way on Saturday, answering charg- es made by Congressman Caraway in his opening speech at Benton and making counter-charges, which Mir. Caraway will probably answer later on. The "short and ugly" has been freely used by Mir. Kirby in re- 'futing carges made by his opponent.
 Mir. Caraway is known to be him self a vigorous campaigner and the public may we'll look forward to one of the most exciting campaigns that has been waged in the state since the historic days of Jeff Davis, James P, Clarke, James K. Jones, James H. Berry and other war-horses of other years.

 The financial drive among the churches proper resulted in mary elous response, but it was universal Iv agreed that the campaign in the so-called No-Man's Land between the church and the world was mis- take and a failure, as there IS no such zone of persons friendly to the work of the church who are not already contributing.
 It had been supposed that the corporations would contribute lib- eraily toward the support of church and benevolent institutions, but 1t develops that even the corporations are not without souls. While a corporation cannot in itself become member of the church, the in- dividual members with few excep- tions are either members or direct contributors to these institutions.

Eight Years Trouble Gone and Feels Fine Every Day Since Taking
 Tanlac.

HSince I began taking Tanlac all my troubles of eight years stand ing have left me and 1 can do as big a days work as any man," said J. Curry, a well-known flagman, on the Key Route System, who lives at SIT West Eleventh St., Oakland, Cal.
 q had the worst sort of chronic indigestion" continued MT. Curry. q could hardly retain thing on my stomach and had spells of belch- ing and nausea almost every meal and a bad taste in my mouth near ly all the time. I was so badly con stipated that I had to take a laxa- tive nearly every day, was troubled a lot with lumbago and was so nervous that at night 1 would roll and tumble from one side of the bed to the other without getting near enough sleep and when morn ing came I would be so tired l simply had to drag myself to work.
 'I began taking Tanlac and will say right here it measures up to everything people say of it, for it has put me back in as fine health as I ever was. I eat anything set before me without the slightest bad effects, I sleep like a log every night and all my other troubles are gone. I have more life and energy about me than I have had in years and can't praise Tanlac enough for it is the most dependable medicine ever heard of"
 Tanlac is sold in Marianna by all leading druggists.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the candidates, the people refuse to become excited and .have ap- parently adopted the course of lis tening, reading and then following the dictates of theri own better judgment. Never before has it been so difficult to forecast the results as it istoday in the race for govern or There is the usual talk of cliques, machines and political hier- archies, but it is evident the people are discounting these things and are disposed to act for themselves. The day of the political machine is doomed; at least it is not pos sible for one to long resist the at triton of public sentiment and polit- ical independence.
 The only development in the mi nor races is in that for Auditor of State. Deputy Auditor c. c. Smith has announced he will not make the race but will enter commercial life instead. This leaves the contest to A. J. McAmis, a clerk in the of flee, and Ollie Rolf, a former dep uty auditor.

One of the gratifying signs ot progress in Arkansas is the con tinued growth of sentiment in la vor of increased pay for our pubic school teachers. State institutions as we'll as special and rural school districts all over the state are grant ing their teachers higher salaries, realizing that only by. these means will it be possible to retain the serv- ices of those upon whom the educa- tion of our youth depends. The dls-- proportionate pay of teachers and those engaged in purely manual la Dor has been brought forcibly to the attention of the public. The protest which the teachers finally had courage to make has yielded definite results and in consequence the schools of Arkansas should be placed upon a higher plane of eff ciency. The people are ever ready to pay the cost of good schools. The school tax is one tax to which they offer little protest.

The Arkansas delegation to the Inter-C Church World Movement con- ference last week at Cleveland has returned with some very valuable information.
 There are three features of the recent campaign which stand out prominently. They are:
 First, that the campaign for fi- nancial support for the churches, conducted among the so-called Friendly Citizens Group was an ut ter failure because,
 Second, there is no such thing as Friendly Citizens Group:
 Third, that the campaign among the churches has been a great suc- cess, and that future campaigns must be conducted by the denomi- nations, with the cooperation of the Inter-C Church Movement for a re- duction of the overhead expense.

The overall craze is passing. It was but fad at best and could not have been expected to last long. As public protest against the prevailing high cost of wearing ap- parel it served a useful purpose, but it was economically unsound. The attitude of some of those who advocated it has not been consist ent when the wearers of overalls sported $l5.000 silk shirts and dia- mond studs, the sartorial protest fell flat. Further than this the re- suits have proven that instead of re- ducing the cost of clothing, the un- usual demand for blue denim has increased the price of that fabric and the working man who must wear the overalls in his regular em- ployment has been forced to pay more for them. The craze had a short life in Arkansas. Overall clubs were organized in many places and for few days it was public fad, but gradually the men sneaked back into their old time, conventional apparel and the wearer of overalls became an exception. Likewise, the advocates of patch 'em and wear 'em" clubs found little favor in Ar. kansas where the people are insisting they are entitled to wear as good clothes as anybody and that the prices of necessities of food and apparel must be brought down by legitimate and common sense meth ods.
