TO PRESERVE OLD BUILDING

In a letter, signed "Bin Henry
published in the Telegraph last week,
one of the most praissworthy ana
interesting tasks (if task it may
prove to be- to claim the unstintec
attention of our people, was projected
when the suggestion to improve ana
establish in a state of permanency
Commemorative of ali that is gope,
everything that exists and all that
will be for Washington, Hampstead
County, and Arkansas, the old court
building on Franklin St., erected al
most a century ago.
It's present conG 'tion is fairly good
and at a monetary expenditure con-
formable to reason the building and
grounds can be reconstructed and
passed on to Forthcoming generations,
a thing of beauty and a joy to our
citizenship.
Can the people of Washington,
Hampstead County, and the state Of
Arkansas stand idly by and careless
ly sea the relic whose walls have vi
brated with the eloquence of Hemp
stead County's statesmen and whose
names are indelibly written in the
pages of Arkansas early history, go
to ruin.
Can we indiffelcntly stand aside
and allow the old land mark that
was once Arkansas capitol, Hemp
stead County's court house and Wash
ington's school house fall into state
of innocuous desuetude, or worse still,
dilapidated decay and an eye sore to
our people and a reflection upon their
civic pride.
The shades of Washington's Joneses
Garlands and other celebrities are
goading us to jealous efforts. By
earnest cooperative endeavor these
sacred and historic grounds, now uu-
kept and rapidly going to ruin can
he transformed into beautiful and
pleasant retreat with an environment
that will appeal to the rude and uncul-
tivated as we'll as the aesthetic.
This property was purchased by
the city last year from the school dis
trict and the title is now in the town
of Washington. The city officials
are all highly in favor of the project
and will cooperate in every way pos
sible in furthering it. ~
The suggestion made last week that
this historic old building be preserved
is meeting with favor and donations
are already being received by Mr.. j.
W. Butler Of the Washington State
Bank, tlleasurer of the association.

in the year 1879. To them were born
six children, four boys and two girls.

Those living are: J. A, w. H. Jr. and

Brother Parker joined the Mission
ary Baptist Church about twenty

bership from therl to Buck Range

all strife,
Not the close but the dawn of the day;
To him death is but the beginning
of life,
With earth's barriers broken away"
Respectfully submitted,

! o. .as.as 4
Taking action for the seconds time
in steel merger cases directly opposite
to opinions of the Department of
Justice. the Federal Trade Commission
yesterday issued q formal complaint,
! charging that the proposed merger
Of the Midyale, Republic and Inland
steel companies constituted an unfair
| method of competition in Violation
of the Federal Trade Commission act
The Department of Justice recently
{ informed Congress in response to- the
La Toilette resolution. calling upon
the Department and the trade COM
| mission for information as to what
steps were being taken by the. two
departments to determine the motive
for the proposed mergers, that the
m-Lackawanna merger was
as free of unfair trade practices as
the proposed Midvale-Republic-I
combination"
The Federal Trade Commission had
previously issued complaint against
/, the Bethlehem -Lackawanna merger.
In its complaint the commission
named as respondents the Midvale
Steel and Ordnance Company Of Phila-
delphia, the Republic Iron and Steel
Company of New York city and the
Inland Steel Company of Chicago. and
allowed thirty days In which to file
answers, upon which, it was explain
ed, will be determined the issues ito
be tried out in formal manner" The
date of the hearing will not be an
! nounced until after receipt by the
commission of answers to its COM
| plant.
! The complaint declared that the
| commission had reason to believe, aft
| eNpreliminary investigation, that the
| proposed merger or consolidation of
the three competing steel companies,
which. will center the control of
some thirty-five corporations in one
! group, will eliminate competition bes
! tween the companies, lessen compe-
tition and restrain trade and tend
to create monopoly in iron and steel
! products in interstate commerce.
\ This condition 1t was avered, would
be felt particularly in Pennsylvania

ana. Michigan and Illinois.
