DEATH CLAIMS
 COL. C. C. HAMBY
NOTED LAWYER SUCCUMBS AF- TER BRIEF ILLNESS FOLLOW
 ING STROKE OF APOPLEXY.

Last night at o'clock Colonel C. (. Hamby answered the final summons, and thus marked the closing chap,er in helife of d great man
 Stricken with apoplexy while out hrrting last Thursday, and suffering several hours exposure as result of his helpless condition. the veteran mem ber of the Nevada county bar was un- able to survive the complications which followed
 All that medical science could do, to- gether with the comforting hand of the anxious and hopeful watchers at the bedside failed in the fight for the life Of the beloved patient.
 Colonel Hamby was 69 years old, was a resident of Prescott for 47 years. He was first married to Miss Isabelle Blake, daughter of Captain W. ]. Blake, and to this union Randolph r Hamby was born. Following the death of his first wife, Colonel Hamby mar ried Miss Bettie Wells daughter of the late Elijah Wells, who survives him. together with their three children, Mrs W. c.

 Colonel Hamby was born in MissiSS ippi, coming to Arkansas in the bloom of his young manhood; he entered the practice of law, advancing rapidly in his chosen profession. As criminal lawyer it is doubtful if his equal was ever known in south Arkansas; he was born student of human nature-a national leader of men.
 In politics he WAS an uncompr0mis ing democrat-a fighter who carried the flag of his party to many victories 1; at time when the populistic wave was at it's highest tide, he defeated the late pr. Norwood for State Senator in one of the hardest fought contests ever witnessed in the political arena of Ark ansas.
 During Governor Eagles administra ton, Colonel Hamby was Lieutenant Governor For twelve years he was one of the trustees of the Arkansas uni versity

Accuses Tobacco COmpan,

One of the most comprehensive ad dresses by proponents of the measure was made by Senator Owens, who held that the existing law does not repre- sent the will of majority, and that ii k the result of lobbying maueuver> conducted by tobacco company
 II k generally conceded that The cigarette K no more injurious than any other form of tobacco. the senator de clarcd, and aS authority for this state ment. can quo some of the most em- mcnt medical authorities in the United States. Cigarettes are being sold. more or less openly throughout Arkansas. There k demand for them which. to- gether with the demand for tobacco generally. k growing. In my opinion the state wants the business of selling cigarettes legalized, and lifted from its present 'bootlegging status"
 Senator Woods said that he used to- bacco, but that he would be in favor of q national law prohibiting the use of it in any form as physically injurious. The opposite view was taken by Sena- tor Thompson, who declared, Il have cmoked cigarettes for 60 years and they haven't hurt me If l found tobacco in furious I would stop using it." Senator Thompson declared that the dealers want the law. and that they had no ob- iection to paying the licenses.
 Senator Stewart declared that the existing law is generally ignored and that il cannot be enforced Senator Walls said that he did not use tobacco in any form. but he had had legal ex- perienee with the anticigarette law in the courts and knew that it was a nuisance"
 One of the heaviest attacks on the proposed repeal bill was made by Sena- tor Barnes, who declared that the com buston of the tobacco and paper was nothing less that "deally poison. " Senator Barnes said that the church trganiza ations are universally opposed to the sale of cigarettes. and that the sale also is opposed by almost every mother in Arkansas"
 This argument was met by Senator Wilson of Union county, who called at tention to the fact that thousands of ArRansas mothers purchased and sent cigarettes to their sons in the army during the war and that cigarettes were isucd to the soldiers as part o: tieir daily ration Senator Roddy also fav- ored Il measure on the ground that the rropCscd law makes 1t easier to reach and punish dealers who sell to minors which under present laws, is almost Impossible. Senator Johnston closed the argument in favor of the bil Nith the statement that ciga at es are n0w generally held to be the lea,t Injurious form of using tobacco.

WHAT THEY DO WITH BONUS
Seventy Per Cent of Minneapolis Men
Increase or Open New Saw
ings Accounts.

What do ex-service men do with
their bonus money received from the
various states?
Some persons opposed to handing
out cash TO the men either by the
states or nation, give as their greatest
argument that the beneficiaries will
squander the money foolishly as soon
as they get it.
But the experience of the Wells
Dickey Trust company Of Minneapolis
which firm has been instrumental In
advancing $2,265,0 900 to ex-service men
through special arrangement with the
bonus board, completely overturns this
conjecture. Figures just compiled by
the cashier of the trust company show
that of the 1924 claims handled by
the bank for Minneapolis men, 40 per
cent of the men increased their own
accounts and 20 per cent opened saw
ings accounts at once.

PLAN TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA
VIII Urge Congress to Make English
Language and American History
Compulsory In Schools

Henry ]. Ryan, who succeeded Ar
thur Woods as national director of the
Americanism commission of the Amer
lean Legion, has announced a definite
program of Americanism activities
which Legion leaders believe win eff
fectively combat anti-American propa-
ganda at its sources.
The plan includes a sympathetic re
ception to the immigrant and method
of providing him with opportunities to
school himself in American ideas; i'm
provement of immigration and natural
ization laws; measures to stop the cir
culation of Bolshevist and l. w. w.
propaganda, and providing a greater
chance for education in citizenship
among the adult native born.
The Legion's campaign will start
with the school, which is characterized
by MIR. Ryan as the foundation of char
acter building. mo greater problem
challenges the American people than
the school," said Mr.. Ryan. sweeping
changes must be made in our schools
or revolution and the destruction of
America will be but q matter of time.
The school system of America, AS con-
stituted at present, is incapable of de-
veloping the type of intelligent citizen
ship which is the foundation of de-
mocracy, and without which human lib
erty has no champion. The changes
which the American Legion advocates
are, first, that English shall be the con-
trolling language in all schools, and,
second, that the study of American his
tory and civics shall be made compul-
sorry to all school pupils. To accom-
plish these proposals the Legion will
petition congress to formulate a reso-
luton recommending to state legisla-
lures the passage of statutes embody-
Ing these changes"

WHEN JEFFERSON TOOK OATH
Early Presidential Inauguration at

of Ill Feeling.

The first Jefferson Inauguration hao
more drama about ii than its three
predecessors. The President-elect was
received upon the portico of the new
ly completed north wing of the capt.
toll by Aaron Burr, whom Jefferson
cordially distrusted. And the oath of
Office was administered by one of his
bitterest enemies, Chief Justice Mar
shall, who had been appointed to Of
fee by Adams in the closing days of
the administration, an act which JEFF
ferson regarded as not only an i'm
propriety but personal affront. JEFF
ferson's feelings toward Burr and
Marshall were well known.
Then the new president was escort
ed to the senate chamber, where he
delivered his inaugural address, one
of the most notable of all such
speeches. He was afterward escorted
to his boarding house, where he re-
ceived the congratulations of the for
eign diplomats and of the leaders of
the popular party, who rejoiced over
the defeat of the Federalists.
