LETTER OF COINCIDENCE

This letter was not written for pub lication, but it is so true and deserv- ing and from one who has been in a position to know that he has written the truth. Judge Bishop is not any blood relation to Dr. Bishop, he only married a first cousin to Mrs. Bishop
 Nashville, Ark. April 18th, 1922. "Dr. A. B. Bishop, Ashdown, Ark. Dear Doctor:
 we are all indeed sad to learn of the death of your good devoted wife, Cousin Ella McCrary Bishop. Her death came as a great shock to all of us. We deeply sympathize with you and the children in this hour of afflic- tion. However, when We think of her as one of the gentlest and noblest of women it has ever been our good fortune to know, We fully realize that her future state is one of eternal bliss and our loss On earth has been her gain in the eternal Beyond. The writ 
 boyhood days when he first arrived in the good old town of Mineral Springs many years ago, and for sev- eral years lived across the street op- posite to the Doctor McCrary home, We then learned of her good, gentle equable, Christian character; her daily life which was ever calm and serene. notwithstanding troubles at tendant upon ones human, earthly existence. No storm ever lowered or gathered from the most angry skies with such force or intensity as to per- turb her poise and equanimity of character Undisturbed and unchang- ed ever remained that quiet, gentle Christian demeanor. I soon learned that of the entire and most estimable family to which she belonged and was the eldest member. that when Ella spoke in her gentle mood, as she in variably did, "all was well' and her decision and judgment in any matter met with unanimous approval of all others, without objection or question, because she was ever right in her conclusions. She treated every one with uniform courtesy, regardless of his or her station in life and while she no longer lives here on earth, truly her good deeds and most esti- mable character are left as an heri- tage to those who knew her and which will live on and on forever. Ere long We shall all wrap ourselves in the drapery of night and cross into that bourne from which no traveller ever returns" May We leave behind us that influence for good emulating the splendid life and character of the gentle Spirit which has it's flight.
 "Yours sincerely,
 "J. w. Bishop"

THE FARMERS AND THE TARIFF

An exchange gives a reminder of
the manner in which a Democratic
Tariff increases imports to the detri-
ment of American industries and
American worxingmen and in which a
Republican Tariff checks this de-
structive flood of cheaply made for
eign goods.
In March, 1913, after the Demo
Gratis won their victory at the polls,
but while the Republican Tariff was
still in effect, the United States i'm
ported, in round numbers, $5O8,OOO
worth of cattle, but incfeased those
importations to $993,OO worth in
March a year later when the Protect
i've duty had been removed.
This country imported no fresh
meat in March, 1918, but in March Of
the following year $4,000 pounds
came nto the country from foreign
nations.
In March, 1913, 4,262,O pounds
of wool were imported but in March,
1914, this had grown to 100000
pounds.
During the first nine months Of the
Democratic law, this country import
ed 100000 pounds of butter as

the proposed levy made as low as

All the funds are now in the clear

American would think it fair that, be-
cause his country became involved IN

LET'S STICK TO AMERICAN
TRADITION OF HONESTY

Secretary Hughes voices the senti-
ment of a big majority of the Amer
lean people when he protests against
the passage of a bill proposed in Con-
gress, evidently at the instance of the
former management of the Alien
Property Custodian bureau, whereby
Germany is to be given no represent
Gtion on the commission created to
adjust alien property claims growing
out of seizures during the war, and
in effect sets up the principle that
there shall be general and permanent
confscation of the property held in
this country by citizens of any nation
with which we go to war.
There are two good reasons why
this country should not take such a
position. First, it is out of line with
our tradition of fair play even for
an enemy. There was a disposition
manifested during the war by those
in control of the Alien Property
bureau to go to any extremes in

fat fees for favored attorneys and
profitable sales to friends of the ad-
ministration. This conduct Of a gov
eminent bureau, violating a spirit and
letter American national standards Of
chivalry and square dealing, accounts
in part for the anxiety of certain pol
itical interests to hush up the whole
matter by committing the govern
ment to the theory that citizens Of Z
nation with which we are at war, re
siding in this country, have no rights
that American officials are bound to
respect.
Second, the precedent would be
extremely unwise from the standpoint
of national interest. Establish the
doctrine that once a nation is at war
with another, the property rights of
