In order to comply with Iie law
enacted by the recent Legislature, pro-
viding for the re-appOrtioning of the

crat, to do the work, and they have
been asked by Judge Price to meet

district will only do tn cwOrk in then
respective district. Following are the
commissioners named:

Government PrOhi
Jobs to Last 6 Years

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Six years from
now the United States will be as dry
as the enthusiastic prohibitionists ex-
pected it to be when Congress pass
ed the dry law-and not before that
time. 1t is going to take those six
years for the special body of sleuths
armed with the federal amendment
blotter to take all the moisture out
of the land. In six years it is hop
ed that the composite craving Of the
country for alcoholic stimulants will
be entirely extinct.
The camel squad, the sleuths who
have the job of making desert of
the land where once bloomed the
nose, heard the glad tidings that they
had a JOB for half a dozen years
from the lips of H. M. Gaylord, as
sistant commissioner of internal rev.
enue, who lectured at the first session
of the anti-booze university here to-
day. The class comprised more than
100 members who will apply their
talents in the Middle West states.
The prediction Of six year stretch
before things would be to their taste
was not the only unwelcome medicine
Gaylord had for the prohibitionists.
He went on to declare that one of the
greatest sources of trouble the reve-
nue. men will experience will be the
prohibitionists.
"They have insisted and will con-
tinue to insist that we follow their
leads instead of going quietly about
our own business" he said. "They
have been at work for years, and,
although they had voice, they lacked
the punch. Now, they will try to tell
US what to do, and when they see us
going along in their own way they
will begin to hammer us. You have
just got to stand that hammering and

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, Jan. 19.-Extra session

sembly will convene at noon next
Monday.
II is called TO the purpose of en-
acting road, school, and drainage
laws. but is is believed that sub
Elementary call will be Issued this
week to include certain general laws
for which it is believed there is an
urgent demand.
Among these will be the PROPOSE
ton to move the primaries up from
August to, probably, May. The State
Central Committee will meet next
Saturday to decide about this mat
ter, and the Governor will be guided
by the recommendation of the COM
mittee. The politicians of the state
are badly divided on the question,
and the change is as vigorously OPP
posed by some as it is warmly advo-
Gated by others.
Another proposition likely to be
included will be provisions for the
proper maintenance of the National
Gnard Ii is believed that never in
the history of the state has there
been greater need for an effective
militia organization throughout the
country than now. Confidential in
formation has come into the hands
of the Governor from high authority

among the reactionaries and radicals
TO overthrow the Government. AL
state authorities have been warned
to be on the alert, and be prepared

Court officials are agreed that the

cation of prohibition, and the great

The race for Congress in the first
district, for the seat being vacated
by T. H. Caraway, is beginning to
assume an interesting phase. 1t is
not to be permitted to go begging for
want of an aspirant. State Senator
E. Z. Alexander of Mississippi coun-
ty has been candidate for some
time, but last week his formal an
nouncement appeared in the papers
of his district. 1t has been rumor-
ed for some time that another Mis-
sissippian, w. j. Driver, might en-
ter the race but up to the present
time he has not made a definite state
ment of his intentions.
But Senator Alexander is not to
have the race all to himself, for there
are at least two others who are
avowed candidates. J. w. Simmons
of Cotton Plant has entered the race.
He has been an income tax collector
Another is l.. l.. Biffle of Piggott
who has been in Washington in ar
official capacity for ten years, and
is now superintendent of the folding
room of the United States Senate
He was for four years secretary OF

to be efforts to break the prohibition
law.
There is a great deal of civil liti-
CATION, which is resuming it's status
of before the war, there having been
very little during the war. But the
criminal cases that are being appealed
TO the Supreme Court are negligible
in number and for the most part in
consequential in character.
Every editor in Arkansas mem
ber," is the slogan that has been
adopted by the Arkansas Press AS
ISOLATION. 1t is to be made an or
ganization of real service to the
members and many new ones are
acted upon at the mid-winter meet
ing to be held Feb. z. A monthly
bulletin is being printed for free dis
tribution among the newspaper men
of the state, and this is attracting
the attention of the fraternity to the
plans of ths Association and the
great opportunities for its members.
The Democrats of Arkansas are
amused by-standers while the Repub-
lican leaders are making plans for
cutting the pie that hasn't been
cooked for them yet-and probably
never will. The G.. o. p. followers
are divided into two principal camps,
the Woods and the Lowdens, and the
contest between them is waxing
warm. The Arkansas Republicans
are astute politicians, and in the
past have, as a rule, been able to
line up with the nominee. At the
present crisis in their affairs, how
ever, with sky full of lightning rods
they seem to be unable to agree Just
where the bolt will strike.
Friends and supporters of Gener-
al Leonard Wood have launched a
Leonard Wood League of Arkansas.
Clubs are to formed in each coun-
ty of the state. Arr appeal for en-
rollment of members has been is
sued and those who favor his nomi-
nation have been urged to organize
clubs throughout the state. A min.
imum membership of fifteen is re.
quired for each local club. General
Wood is well known in Arkansas and
the founders of the league predict

Temporary headquarters have been
established in Room 300, Gazette
building, Little Rock. The officers
are; Edgar M. Rowe, president

f. G. Thompson, secretary; A c.
Becker, treasurer.
Headquarters reports that the APP
peal for membership is being an
swered by both Republicans anc
Democrats, and that many ex-servict
men are enrolling.
ArkanRas has always prided Itself
upon that supposed fact that it i.
state of high cultural attachments
and that its people are highly educat-
ed This pride is commendable, but
careful analysis of the facts show
that it is not based upon actual con
ditions.

The Department of Education, thru
their Uliteracy Commission, is un-
/ dertaking the task of eradicating
adult illiteracy in the state, and IS
meeting with much encouragement
every where.
Adult schools are being planned
/ for MANY of the communities of the
state and wherever they are opened
they are being well patronized by
those who appreciate the opportu-
nity given them to overcome the dis
advantages under which they have
been laboring, possibly through no
fault of their own.
Teachers are being asked to volun-
! teer for this work, holding sessions
at least three times a week, prefer
/ ably four or five times week for
| four weeks. 1t is announced that a
1000-mile railroad ticket good on all
roads will be given the teacher having

report.
One of the important services be-
| ing performed for the farmers of the
state by the State Plant Board is
the examination and certification of
seed sweet potatoes. This is the
first year the Board has conducted
its inspection service, and the require
ments have been made very rigid. In
consequence the amount of certified
seed is very limited, and to meet the
needs of the farmers, the Secretary
OF the Board has prepared a supple
mental list of few growers who have
what he considers seed of a high
grade. He says that great deal of
this seed is as good as the certified,
although they could not certify it.
The list includes growers who had
fields in which only one or two dis
eased hills were found. 1t is a SER
vice that will add immeasureably to
the success of the sweet potato cul-
ture in the state.
