 Little Rock. Aug. 23--Ignoranee concerning Arkansas as uncovered by the Arkansas Advancement As sociation would be amusing but for the fact that the state loses there by. A young Arkansan who attends a Virginia school is working this summer in Pennsylvania. When he informed citizen of Scranton that his home was in Arkansas he was asked if that was located ill Kansas. This young man writes that he IS in favor of compulsory education. Another young man reports that he lost a chance to become an officer in the army when asked by the off cer to whom he applied for admis- sion to the Officers Training School what was grown in Arkansas. This young man was from the Stuttgart vicinity and of course knew but one reply-rice The officer promptly denied his application. saying that rice was not grown in Arkansas and as the applicant could not truth fully reply to a simple question he could not be depended upon should he become an officer. President Petite of the Arkansas Advancement Association reports that on d trip to Asbury Park d few years ago. a barber asked him if Arkansas was not in Pennsylvania The button, "I am Proud of Arkansas, will be sent to people outside the state this week together with card siy- ing reasons for pride in Arkansas. Through these the world will in a short time know how important Arkansas is in natural resources and progressiyeness.

Where Taxes Do Hurt.

We complain about our confisca- tory taxes in America, at the clubs, in the homes and in the houses of Congress, but we are amazingly light ly taxed when we measure our bills against those of our English friends.
 As the London Times well puts it, "Englishmen suffer in silence and if they laid bare their troubles to the public eye the inference may fairly be that it is because they believe that the public interest will be served by their so doing" Dur ing the last few weeks, however, some of the largest landholders in England have been taking the pub lie into their confidence in the news papers by telling exactly how much they must pay and what their land is yielding.
 The dukes of Portland. Buccleuch and Bedford are among the largest Iandholders in England. Some of
 
 The taxes on their land have so grown that their estates have become d burden. When such owners come to die enormous death duties are put upon their porperty.
 On some of these estates there are historic houses. They were built centuries ago. They arc more than mere residences. They are monu- ments, interesting to tourists and venerated by people in the vicinage. Many of these fine old castles and country houses have architectural lines that make them as interesting as the cathedrals and abbeys.
 Some of these estates are about to be cut up. These houses will be sold and when they are sold their traditions will die. We have before LIS the story of sale of q famous house, Gwydyr Castle. Now the pancling and the carvings from seven of the rooms are offered for sale. The interior decorations aAd cary ings from two rooms of this castle have already been sold for 10000 pounds sterling. The agent sug- gests that the interior of seven rooms of the famous castle of the Wynn family might be disposed of to a buyer who would install them II hotel or in a fashionable show room. Thus used, their richness would delight large number of people and serve as an additional attraction to an establishment.
 A man in England can no longer hold an estate because of traditions and its beauty unless bis indepen- dent fortune is enormous. Even when the property is cut up and sold to small farmers the taxes are such that it is difficult to work them at profit.--Commercial Ap- peal.

CAPT. JACK CRAWFORD, THE SCOUT WHO WROTE POETRY

oNOoI WI1o w NJ SL~ N When a bit of sunshine hits ye After passin' of a cloud,
 When fit of laughter gifts ye
 An yer spine is feelin' proud. Don't fergit to up and fling it At a soul that's feeln' blue,
 Fer the mint that ye sling it
 It's boomerang to you.
 That was the philosophy of Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet-Scout. poet
 and a scoutl A strange combination, but he excelled as both. John Wallace Crawford was an Irish boy who came to this country shortly before the Civil
 war began and enlisted in the Union
 army when he was only sixteen years old. While lying in hospital, a sister
 of mercy taught him to read and. write.
 After the war Crawford drifted West and became miner in the Black Hills of South Dakota. When the Black Hills rangers were organized
 to protect the miners from hostile
 Sioux and bands of highway robbers,
 Jack was chosen chief. In one fight
 he killed three desperadoes.
 At the outbreak of the Sioux war in 1876 Captain Jack enlisted as a scout
 and rose to the position of chief of
 scouts for the Fifth cavalry. After the battle of Slim Buttes, S. D., where Chief American Horse was killed. Captain Jack, who was also corre- spondent for the New York Herald,
 gave the world the first story of this 1 fight. Crawford rode to Fort Laramie,
 $50 miles away, in three days and a i half, 0utriding five relays Of couriers, i but he killed two horses doing it. l During the Apache wars in Arizona | Crawford was again in the saddle as a scout for Gen. Edward Hatch. In 1 1881 he took the trail of the notorious chief, Victori0, and after a scout of
 16 days, located his camp in the Can | deleria mountains in Mexico. Captain 1 Jack then made another remarkable ride to the nearest post. AS a result of his news, Victorio's camp was at.
 tackled by Mexican troops and the old
 chief and many of his warriors were
 killed. When the Indian wars were over, l Captain Jack began writing down
 the verses which he had reCited to his 1 comrades around many campfire on
 the Indian campaigns. He went on
 the lecture platform and in short
 time the "Poet-Scout' was one of the
 best-known of the old-time scouts in
 the country, second only to his old
 comrade of the Fifth cavalry, Buffalo
 Bin. In little over month after
 Buffalo Bills death, Captain Jack fol-
 lowed him on the Long Trail. He died i fin New York February 2S, 1917.

One of the most popular picese of

One of the most popular picese of current fiction is the statement which was recently made in the press to the effect that the Arkansas penitentary had been taken out of politics. The states penal insti- tuition has made and broken many governors and other state officers connected with it, and from the be- ginning has figured large in the po- litical affairs of Arkansas, and 1t will continue to do so until the end of time. Instead of being out of politics, it is deeper in than ever before. It is difficult to determine which is the right side of the pre- sent controversy, although to the casual observer, it would appear that the presen commission is be- ing charged with many things un- justly. It is probable that there is some clements of justice in both sides and that out of it all will come an institution better qualified for it's correctional mission. What ever the merits of the controversy, it is certain that the penitentiary will be very prominent in the next campaign and that it will be one of the principal issues with which Governor McRea will go before the people for a second term. Governor McRea has some very decided opin- ions on the subject and will not hesitate to make them known in lawxuagc that cannot be misunder- stood. *H1 1A

PART OF LEVER ACT
INSTITUTIONAL.

The Supreme court has made de-
cision in a sugar profiteering case
from Atlanta in which the Lever act
of Congress aimed at profiters is de-
clared unconstitutional. In explaining
the decision Senator Hoke Smith says
the decision does not reach all of the
provisions of the Lever act. Accord
ing to his statement it only reaches
that provision that undertakes to
make q crime out of charging un-
reasonable profits, the court holding
that the term unreasonable profits"
is so uncertain that it does not put a
defendant upon notice of what would
or would not be crime, and that
therefore an Indictment for making
an unreasonable profit could not be
profit, the act did not say, and the de-
fendant would not know, when he was
making a charge, whether the profit
was or was not unreasonable. In that
particular case parties sold sugar at
20 cents a pound which had been
bought at II cents a pound, when at
the time they could not buy sugar on
the market at 22 cents a pound. The
court held that that provision in the
act was unconstitutional, but the bal
ance of the Lever Act was left in
force, both that provision which ap-
piled to coal and that which applied to

The first passed without any op-

Federal Government has already con-
ferred upon women the right to vote.
In regard to women being exempt

doubt is well founded, for according

HELM HAMMERS THEM

Senator Heflin of Alabama, is an
optimist and plucky one at that. In
Congress just before adjournment he
scored the Republican party severely.
In defeating the good roads propo-
sition and some of the river and harbor
appropriations the Republican majori-
ty came in for good drubbing at the
hands of the Alabama Senator. He
talked right out in meeting.
Among other things he said:
"Poor old cheese-paring, parsimoni-
Gus Republican Party! You waste mil
lions in useless expenditures and be-
come economical when it comes to do
ing something of substantial ma
ture for the mass of the American
people. You killed an appropriation
that provided for building great
system of public roads leading from
farm to factory and from rural dis
tricts to the towns and market places,
and now, / repeat, you refuse to pro-
vide money sufficient to go on with
the program of river and harbor i'm
provement."
He then admonished the Republi-
cans that their rule would not last
long. He gave this sketch of the up
turn in politics that was brought
about by such tactics as the Republi-
cans have recently INDUCED in. The
Senator said:
II have seen the Republican party
before its recent victory carry the
country by a tremendous majority.
saw your candidate, Mr.. Taft, elected
in 1908 by million majority, and
four years later go out by unanimous
consent. / saw you in that same year
of 1908 carry the House and the
Senate and in 1910 saw the Demo-
cratic Party carry the House when
only two years had elapsed since you
recorded your great victory under the
leadership of Mr.. Taft. In the election
of 1912 we carried the Senate and
elected a Democratic President, and
If you keep on the unwise and un-
American way that you have started
of opposing every constructive meas
ure we will carry the House in the
next congressional election and pluck
some of your members from this end
of the Capitol"
