WANDERER SCORES POINT.

Chicago, March 9-Judge David refused today to permit Julia Schmidt to testify about her love affair with Carl Wanderer before and after the murder of his wife.
 Trough Julia'S testimony the state planned to show that Wanderers af lection for her was the real motive be hind the triple killing for which he is on trial second time.
 When Assistant States Attorney Lloyd Heath declared Wanderer must have ceased to love his wife because he sought the love of another while posing as unmarried Judge David stop ped him.
 "It does not follow" he said, that if man seeks the society of other wo- men he must necessarily have tired of his wife,
 But no man can really love two wo- men at the same time" argued Heath.
 "It is being done every day" the judge replied. "A few hundred years ago it was openly done and customary. don't think times have changed. "- Gazette.

GOVERNOR PRAISES SOLONS

Governor McRae sat with the speak CT during the exercises and made brief talk, in which he said:
 You gentlement deserve the thanks and plaudits of the people of Arkansas. You have redeemed as far as you could every promise made the people. If there be any pledge unfulfilled, it does not lie at the door of this House. You have labored faithfully and have per formed your duty well and are worthy the thanks and confidence of the citi- zens of Arkansas. This warfare for re form has only begun and when you return to your constituency and report, I am sure they will approve your &C., tion and that the good work will con- tinue. Without disparagemnt to any other General Assembly l will say that this body has done more work than any other session"
 He closed with a tribute to Speaker Joiner. to which the speaker replied that the House had endeay0red to re- deem every pledge. including retrench- ment and a return of the government to the hands of the people.

My experience with doctors and medicines caused me to lose faith in both, and when a friend told me that Mayr's Wonderful Remedy would cure my stomach trouble I told him it can't be done However, he finally per suaded me to try it and to my surprise it did.

THE LEGISLATURE ADJOUNRS

Yesterday at high noon marked the close of the 1921 legislat ture. Governor McRae, in brief address to the House said You gentlemen deserve the thanks and plaudits of the people of Arkansas" and they do.
 Whatever else may be said of the body just adjourned, it gave to Arkan- sas a safer and more economical plan of procedure in the matter of peniten- tiary management, and by the abolish ment of the Corporation Commission it carried out the wishes of Governor McRae and redeemed the pledge of the democratic platform
 It's a very easy matter to "cuss" and abuse the legislatu Oftentimes the critics are in the wrong; and generally the fellow who is loudest in his denun- citation is lower in the scale of public opinion than the man he bemeans.
 We agree with Governor McRae- that the legislature of 1921 is entitled to very great credit for inaugurating some needed reforms, and we are con fident that the personnel of the Ark ansas House and Senate, compares Ia yorably with the legislators of our 47 sister states.

FOUR HELD ON
 MURDER CHARGE
EXAMINING TRIAL OF ONE RE SUITS IN ARREST OF THREE
 OTHERS.

Heber Springs, March 10-Winslow Robinson, aged 30, charged with mur- der. and Earl Haskins, 21, George Has kins. 24, and Clarence Still, IS, charg- ed with accessory to murder, today were held to the Cleburne County Grand Jury following hearing in Jus tice Reymers court at Edgemont. Rob inson is accused of killing billiard Will burn. aged B, whose body was found Monday in a field about half mile from Edgemont. He had been shot in the forehead and back with small caliber pistol.
 Robinson several days ago threat ened Wilbulns life, and proposed to several friends that they shoot him as he crossed bridge so that his body would fall into the creek, aceordlnging to evidence given at the hearing. It al so was brought out at the examination that Wilburn was a gambler, and that it was generally known that he carried considerable money with him. This causes officers to. believe that robbery was the motive for the killing
 The three men accused as accessories were arrested during the hearing They were witnesses against Robinson. Dates for the preliminary hearings have not been fixed. They were placed in jail without bail. Efforts to obtain the re- lease of Earl and gorge Haskins through habeas corpus proceedings will be made tomorrow or Saturday before Judge ]. NJ. Shinn at Harrison.
 Robinson was fined and given jail sentence several months ago on a charge of assault to kill. The Haskins brothers now are under Grand Jury indictments for carrying concealed wea pons.-azette.

First Methodist Church,
 Little Rock. Arkansas.
 Dear Dr. Fletcher:
 Your letter in the Picayune of yes terday. particularly the reference 10 myself, justifies a brief reply.
 l regret that you wrote before read ing the article referred to in Candid Opinion If you have 1ot received your copy, l will gladly send you one This is due, perhaps. To the fact that Broth CT Sage wrote his article several days before the March number was out. It was previous, to say the least of it.
 have no apology whatever, for the editorial in Candid opinion. You have written 10 Prescott parties. advising that you were hot mis-quoted, and back ing np your position hy clippings from the Little Rock press. and my niece who was in your audience says that you were not misquoted.
 l think your reference to your "tra ducers," and being selected for Slaugh- ter" and putting the use of tobacco in the catalogue of crimes" is wholly unwarranted. nor do 1 think anyone here has sought to attack you behind your back; nor is there a hornets nest down here. Everything is perfectly quiet l am advised that Prescott is not the only place in Arkansas from Dr. Fletcher, I am yoar friend, what ever your opinions may be: but the trouble is, you are wrong in your posi- ton. I am not entirely alone i'll this conviction. \ number of ministers and laymen and even habitual cigarette smokers have expressed their approval of my position. You advocate the pas sage of law which would certainly not be enforced any better than the old law, and would make it possible for young boys to get cigarettes much more easily than they do now. II is the knee pants lelloN, dtout Wb'AI aIh Nii'iiS concerned You advocate licensing an evil; which is wrong in principle. | was therefore surprised al your utter ance.
 Candid Opinion is not published to ignore these things. If the Bishop had said what you said. l would have been all the more positive in my criticism. I am fully aware that the majority use tobacco. I do not doubt that your large congregation agreed with you, and l am not surprised at the source of the request that you express yourself pub licly. The Arkansas Health Depart ment in the light of scientific knowl- edge, is doing an ienoble work for both the moral and physical welfare of Ark ansas. The great wastefulness of the habit is sufficient alone to merit your diSapproval and condemnation. If the people of the nation, through long sui fcring. should consent 10 leave off the smoking of every sixth cigarette, the saving would be sufficient to save the starving millions of the Near East and Middle Europe.
 Let us preach and write 10 the people about the sin of extravaganza and wastefulness, the tragedy of physical and moral degeneracy, and to shun the very appearance of evil. l am sure we can find plenty of scriptural texts for all of these things.
 Cordially yours.
