REQUESTING THE COMMISSIONS

.Gov.-elect McRae has stated that his plan for retrenchment calls for the abolition of the Corporation Commission, the highway depart nent, the penitentiary commission and the boards of control of the several eleemosynary institutions and have the affairs of these several commissions and boards administered by volunteer boards who would serve the state without pay.
 On the face of it that sounds pret- ty good. But somebody has truly said that the things we get for noth- ing cost US the most in the longrun.
 There are, no doubt, at this time number of prominent and reliable citizens in this state who would un- dertake the job of having supervis- ion over the various institutions of the state and without receiving any emoluments therefor, but the job would soon become irksome and oth- CT business interests would cause them to neglect the interests where they were getting no returns.
 The task of successfully admins tering an institution such as the Arkansas penitentiary, for instance, is not one to be taken up lightly. It requires a good deal of time and attention to look after al of the details, and so do all of the other institutions.
 Representative Ebel of Hot Springs proposes a plan which appears to us to solve the problem better than the idea of volunteer commissions would do. His idea is to form a general body composed of the governor, sec retary of state, auditor, treasurer and attorney general to have super vision over these matters.
 These officials could attend to the work much better than volunteer cit izens could do it, and much more satisfactory. A volunteer body would come in for a great deal of criticism, just as the present paid commissions are now under, and they could sidestep their duties on the plea that as they were receiving no pay they should not be blamed for their shortcomings There would be frequent resignations from such com missions as the members found their duties conflicted with their business affairs and the result would be that there would always be new members who were not thoroughly acquainted with their duties.
 The only fault we have to find with MT. Ebel's plan is that he says this commission should serve without pay.
 We believe if this extra work is placed upon them their salaries should be increased. The salary of the governor is at present too low for the class of man we desire and demand. Many county officers in the state receive more money than the governor. It either takes wealthy man to hold down the posi- tion or one who expects to use the office as stepping stone to some thing higher. A man can hardly maintain the position demanded of our governor on the present salary and unless he has other resources he leaves the office in debt.
 The work of administering the several institutions could be turned over to the governor and his cabinet and by increasing their salaries a

PLIGHT OF EUROPE'S
 CHILDREN STAGGERS
3,500,000 Facing Starvation Can Only Be Saved by America's
 Response to Joint Appeal.

It is utterly impossible for one who has not actually seen the misery of the early Autumn ih Europe to visual izc what the children of the Eastern and Central portions of the continent face this winter. To say that 3,500,G00 children have no alternative to starva tion or death from disease excep American aid, is startling, but independ ent observers by the score and care full scientific surveys of tte economic and crop conditions overseas brand the figure as conservative.

POLAND ONCE THE SAVIOR
OF EUROPE

Poland, whose history is tragedy
and whose people have been called
children of the Sun" plays no new
role when she seeks to stop the on
slaughts of the bolsheviki, for it was
she who once stayed the march of
the Turk across Europe.
A communication to the National
Geographic society sums up Poland's
sad and eventful history as follows:
In size she outranked nearly every
nation of the continent. Russia alone
of the European nations is larger than
Poland was at her greatest. In pOnu-
lation she stood at the forefront of
Europe. Only Russia and Germany
had greater populations before the
war than are to be found in the lands
that once were Poland; for unparti-
toned Poland had an area of 2S2.0O0
square miles. and the lands that once
lay within her boundaries support a
population of approximately 80 mil
lion. In area she was as large as The
former German empire, Switzerland,
Belgium, Holland and Denmark to-
gether; larger than Great Britain,
Italy and Greece combined: larger
than Austria-Hungary and Serbia in
one. Within what were her boundaries
there dwells a present population OF
Great Britain and Belgium; larger
than those of France. Belgium and
Holland together; and matching that

the Vienna Congress gave Russia 22O,-
500. Prussia 10000, and Austria $4,000
square miles. Much of the land which
Russia secured, and particularly kiev,
had been identified with Russia gen.

Poland, in the days of her greatest
area, extended from a point within 80
miles of Berlin, on the west, to the
meridian of the sea of AZov on the
east; on the north it reached nearly
to the Gulf Of Finland and on the
south down to the Khanate of Crimea.
