MORAL CONDITIONS ARE BAD
Texas Side Officers Asked to "EnfOrce
 the Law or Resign"

TeXarkana, May 1.-The law and order meeting called week ago by committees representing the various Protestant churches of the Texas side of the town was held at the city hall this afternoon and was attended by several hundred citizens, the hall be- ing filled to standing room. Judge P. A. Turner of the Crim,nai District Court presided, and made speech in which he denounced Chief of Police Lanier and other officers for alleged failure to break up houses of prosti- tuition and stop bootlegging and gam bling. Judge Turner said investiga- tions made by the federal Secret Serv- ice had shown 13 houses and many rooming houses where immortality was practiced, but that no such houses ex- isted on the Arkansas side.
 Mayor Nichols followed, endorsing Judge Turner's statements and de- claring he was unable to get the Po- lice DepdfluleHI Io eHlolCe Iho i"" against such places.
 County Attorney Henry, City At torney Brown, EX-State Senator w. c. Rockwelle and Sheriff Richardson also spoke, all favoring law enforce ment and promising to do all in their power to drive out the objectionable houses. Judge Turner declared there would be no let up by his court and grand jury against such places.

More Money Spent for
 Cigars than for Schools

Little Rock, May 2.-(SpeciaD Few people realize that as much Is paid ill Arkansas for cigars, cigarettes, tob- accO and snuff as for salaries of pub lie school teachers. Ana yet this is the startling fact that develops from an analysis of the income tax returns for the state in 1920. Five times as much is spent for lux uries as for the entire expense of the public school system.
 Based upon government statistics, the amount spent for luxuries of var ious kinds in Arkansas last year are: Face powder, cosmetics, perfume, $1,875, ,OOO.
 Furs, $75O,OOO.
 Soft drinks, $S75,000.
 Toilet soap, $1,OOO,OO0.
 Cigarettes, $2,000,O0o.
 Cigars, $1,275,000.
 Tobacco and snuff, S2,000,000.
 Jewelry, $1,250,O0O.
 Luxurious service, S7,5O0,000.
 Joy rides, pleasure resorts, races. $7,5OO,OO0.
 Chewing gum, $125,000.
 Ice cream, $325, ,000.
 Food luxuries aside from staples. $12,5OO,OOO.
 Total, $37 100000.
 During the same period the public schools of the state cos, total of only $7,600,000, while the items of cigarettes, cigars, tobacco and snuff alone amounted to $5275,OOO.
 When the people of a state can spend nearly $4O,OO0,OOO a year for luxuries and non-essentials, it is cer- tainly time for them to stop in their mad career of spending and see if it is not possible to turn some of this mon- ey into channels where it will accom- plish some real good,' said a promi- nent educator in analysizing these startling statistics. "So long as we pay as much for tobacco as we pay our public school teachers, we cannot expect to retrieve the states position from near the foot of the list educat- ionally. I believe the people will come to the support of all legitimate demand made for the school, as they have already shown a generous dis dire necessities that confront our schools at this time''

June Tenth.
 Little Rock, April 30.-Much pres sure is to be brought to bear on Gov ernor McRae to charge his decision to state penitentiary go to the electric chair.
 Local ministers are indignant be- cause of Governor McRae's actions, declaring that execution of the 12 negroes would be barbaric. They de- clare that long scars may De seen on the negros backs where they were maltrated to compel them to testi- fly against each other.
 It is also charged that the negroes have never received a fair trial and that they could not receive a fair trial in Phillips county; ,nat pub lie opinion among the white people Of that county would no, counten- ance a fair trial and verdicts that bore out the law and evidence.
 The governor, however, is standing firm, his first action being today when he set June 10 as the date for the execution of six of the negroes.
 The action was taken shortly after Reveryia Reynolds, a Lincoln county negro convicted of murder, paid the death penalty in the chair.
