Preach on Slaughter.

Little Rock, Dec. 23.-Two of the leading pastors of the city used Tom Slaughter for their text Sunday night. The Rev. Harry c. Knowles spoke on the subject, "Condoning Crime" and the Rev. c. B. Waller on "The Wages of Sin is Death" These sermons are in line with the revolt that has come following the disgusting spectacle in pated in the funeral of the supercri- minal whom they, in their maudlin sentimentality, would lift to pedes- tai as a glorified hero. Hundreds of dollars were raised to provide flow CTS for his grave and thousands of curiosity seekers struggled to secure the roses and carnations as souvenirs of the occasion. Press and pulpit have roundly condemned this morbid sen timent and denounced it as disgust ing outrage up on decency. There was , nothing in the life or career of Tom
 Slaughter to commend his memory to the favorable consideration of de- cent citizens and to heap laudation
 upon his memory can have but one
 result and that is to instill in the
 minds of the young mistaken ideas , of life. Murderer thief, outlaw of the , lowest type-these are the hallmarks , of the type of man which some have
 persisted in making a hero. It is
 nauseating and now that the fever is
 passing, it is well that the people o Arkansas forget Tom Slaughter anC 1 his kind
