TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Difference Between Governments of
 Greece and Rome and Those of the Gothic Tribes.

There was this radical difference.be- tween the governments of Greece and Rome and those of the Gothic tribes. In thea former the state was every thing, the individual nothing; the state was thought to have a perfect right to the property, liberty, and even life, of its citizens. In the lat ter the individual was everything and the state comparatively nothing; all rights were thought to exist, to inhere by nature in the individual; and the state could demand nothing from him for public use without giving him an equivalent Here we find the funda- mental principle of civil liberty; that principle which has been so carefully guarded in the English and in all the Anglo-American constitutions, and which was so happily and tersely ex- pressed by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. Our rude Saxon an- cestors, though under a kingly govern ment, had more real liberty, and a more just appreciation of the true dig nity of man, than had the polished cit izens of the republics of the Mediter- ranean. The legislative authority was vested in the witenage-mote, or assem- ply of wise men.-Dexter A. Hawkins

CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN
of the Responsible Dweiler Within the WaIls.

In Japan you can learn good many things about the resident of house merely by looking at his door. Ac- cording to police regulations. says a writer in Chambers Journal the en- trance to every residence must have . small wooden tablet affixed to 1t. This tablet has the name and the number of the house on 1t, and on another tablet Is the name of the responsible house holder, who in many cases Is an in- fant, younger brother of relative.
 Sometimes. though rarely, the names of other inmates are placed over the door, but there Is no police regulation that requires 1t, except in the case of boarding houses, which have to place their boarders' names outside for all to see. A person fortunate enough to possess telephone always has the number proudly displayed over his en- trance Near it you will often see quaint enameled CT tin disk. That is the fire insurance mark. Every fire insurance company has its own special IleldI pldCo, WHICH IL UdllS lO lIc Iutci when it insures house.
 There are always several small pieces of paper pasted over the door, placed there by the police. One is to certify that the periodical oshoji. or great cleaning, has taken place. An other paper tells us, perhaps, that the sanitary conditions are satisfactory. What others stand for is known only to the police themselves that they give secret information about the in- mates is certain.
 Formerly it was the rue that, if there was well upon the premises, the fact had to be proclaimed by a square board marked with the charac- ter for well--ido. This was to show where people could obtain water in case of fire in the neighborhood. The regulation may still be in force in country places, but owing to water now being piped, it is no longer, enforced in the cities.

MAY PASS NEW TAX BILL
Representative Ebers "Severance"
 Measure FayOrably Reported.

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-The Judiciary Committee of the House will this morning deliver favorable report on House Bill No. 41Oy by Representative Ebel of Hot Springs, and recommend passage of the bill, which is known as the severance tax" measure.
 A hearing was gwen the measure at the Hotel Marion 1ast night. The bill was opposed by representatives of the coal companies, who complained the tax was unjust and that they could not afford to pay it.
 MT. Ebel appeared in support of his bill. At his suggestion the bill was amended and the tax reduced from two to one per cent. The reve- rue derived under the provisions of the bill would go to the common school fund.
 The bill provides that oil and gas are not to be taxed until March, 1922, and that no tax is to be levied against any product for which those who have severed 1t from the soil have not found market for their product.
 When the bill was read in the House several amendments were offer ed exempting counties, possibly under the belief, MT. Ebel said, that resi- dents of the counties would pay the tax, which is not the case. The com nittee declined to adopt the amend ments to exempt counties, and also declined to accept the amendment of fered by Representative Belote of Hot Springs county, to include lumber in it's provisions. MT. Ebel said he an ticipated calling the bill up for final passage either today or early next week. That the bill will pass seemed to be the consensus of opinion of those at the hearing last evening, and an effort will be mace to get an early consideration of the measure by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 Under it's provisions, it is said, sev- eral hundred thousand dollars would be obtained for the benefit of the pub- lie schools.

When the Ships Come In.

In Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba one of the chief topics of interest to the islanders is the arrival and de- parture of steamers. Newspapers de- vote whole pages to these boat move ments, to lists of the passengers, interviews with notables on board and stories of the voyage by members of the officers staffs and crews. In fact the arrival of the evening train in mainland country town holds no more interest for the residents than the maritime news has for the people of Honolulu, Manila and Havana. The Cuban capital has a new object of interest in this regard in the lately instituted daily air serv- ice between that city and Key West. The planes are of the United States navy scout type, each carrying eight passengers.

HELPED PAY AMERICAS DEBT
How Mrs. Monroe Was Instrumental in Saving the Life of Madame
 Lafayette.

An interesting sidelight on history lies in the story of how the wife of James Monroe. fifth President, saved the life of Madame Lafayette at the time Monroe Was American ainbaSsa dor to France. Lafayette himself was in prison in Germany, and kept in foul dungeon. Mime. Lafayette had been seized by the {Revolutionists, and was confined in the prison of La Force, and date had been set for her execu- ton. The Monroes were very much alive to the great debt America owed the young aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroe determined to do what she could.
 She ordered the state coach of the embassy, with its tiaring coat of arms, to deliver her to the doors of the prison of La Force, and once there. calmly requested an interview with the unfortunate prisoner. An interview with a person sentenced to the knife was unheard of, but the dawning power of the United States was such that the officials dared rot refuse the iCquCot VI tAC oihDoSoduoi D "iIC' ]A few words were exchanged between the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove away. The next morning she was liberated, the French RevOlutiOnistS fearing to execute her, and desiring thus to secure the friendly attention of the new nation. It was a daring thing to do, for the results might have been disastrous and all sorts of in- ternational complications might have arisen.

ACTIVITIES IN MILLER
Mann We'll Soon to be Tested Other
 Tests to Resume.

TeXarkana, Feb. 28.-Cil drilling ac- tivities ill this and surrounding terri tory is being resumed to a consider able extent. stimulated by the recent strikes in the El Dorado field. The greatest amount of interest centers about the operations at the we'll on the Mann property, near Mayton, IS miles east of here and two miles west of Garland City. This we'll is down D. 400 feet, and casing is being set pre- paratory to bailing. Within the last few days the we'll has been enclosed with barbed wire fence and guards have been placed to keep visitors away.
 The National Reserve Oil Company whose headquarters in the South are at Shreveport, will resume drilling next week, in it's well north of Hooks and about 15 miles northwest of here. It is also said that drilling will be resumed shortly in the south portion of Miller county, near Cass, about 30 miles from here. A we'll also is being drilled by the DuLaney Syndicate on the Rochelle Red River plantation, about 15 miles north of Texarkana. It is down about 600 feet.
 There has been considerable talk also of resuming operations near Nash, six miles west of here, where traces of oil caused quite lot of excitement several months ago, but no definite time has been set for resuming work there.

We see Henry Starr, recently demis- ed referred to as the greatest bank robber. Of course that was before Flenry kicked out. He's dead one now. We don't like the word great applied to member of the skunk fam fly. Greatness implies goodness of one who has benefited humanity. The only good thing that Henry has done to benefit society was to get shot so far as we can learn He had no idea that he was taking any great risk when he and his pals walked into the bank expecting to find a small group of unsuspecting and unarmed men who could be easily stuck up and safe getaway. The program was interrup- ted and the other brave bandits fled.

The News started something among the women gardners of Ashdown this week when it published that T told you so" editorial with the sinister in- timation of what happened to the early gardens during the freeze. Some of these indignant gardeners offer to show us that nothing happened by an exhibition of row after row of early growing vegetables. Guess we are caught this time, but we will have the silent sympathy of the overworked husbands who are forced to do manual labor before breakfast and before supper, and in February too. We hadn't started ours, and the cold snap looked like an act of providence and an air tight alibi. Stung again.

If the old Commercial Club with a small membership with the real spirit could bring railroads and big indus tries to Ashdown, what could not the Chamber of Commerce with big membership and a sure, foundation ready laid do? We have to go on, a town with large railroad facilities, with substantial industries well es- tablished, with many public improve ments, modern school and church edi- ficies with thrifty and growing insti- tutions, strong business organiza- tions. The new commercial organi- zation inherits these. If it has also inherited the old Ashdown spirit, it could have no greater heritage.

Oysters Have Many Enemles.

Between the planting and the har- vest, an interval of from two to five years, the oyster culturist assumes many hazards. On the New England coast, after all his material Is down, the fickle "set" may not appear, pos sibly because at the critical time some weather disturbance may have killed the baby oysters while they were yet swimming near the surface. In the Gulf of Mexico the ''set' may be so heavy that there is scant room for the oysters to grow, and many die, while those that are left are half starved and misshapen from crowding. Even when the little oysters or "spat," have attached themselves in favorable num- bers, their perils have just begun. They are never safe from other enc mics until they fall into the hands of their arch foes.

The Hicks community are now plan ming to build new school building and new church. The land is to be divided in two parts, the north half for the school and the south half for the ways pleased to hear of new schools and new churches for the rural com munities. As a suggestion, why not build just one building, and make it large one, for the school, church and also to be used as community house? All efforts combined would reap more and be of greater service to the com m1nity than building two smaller buildings.

Rennor.eful Ghost,

A pathetic story is told of the ghost of Hsham abbey. It is said that the wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was un- naturally severe with her son, who, 1t seems, had a peculiar aversion to writ ing, and in his obstinacy would wilful- ly blot his copybooks. One day his mother, enraged at his perverseness, lost her self-control and beat the poor boy so unmercifully that he died from his injuries. Since then one of the bedrooms in the abbey has been haunt ed by the specter of the cruel woman, who glides through the chamber in the act of washing the bloodstains from her hands.
 It is stated that some years ago, when an old window shutter of the six teenth century was removed, "a packet of antique copyboolSs of that period was discovered pushed into the wall between the joists of the skirting, and several of these books, on which young Hobby's name was written, were GOV cred with blots."
