Virgil Petite in Address at

State Truths

Helena, March 25.--"A real Ar
kansan is Jealous of Arkansas rep
utation," said Virgil G.. Petite among
a number of other truths about
this state, and in Is minutes the
assembled memberships of Rotary,
Civilian and Lion clubs Of Helena
and West Helena pledged $4,000
and their moral and active support
to assist the Arkansas Advancement
Association in spreading the truth
about this much maligned state.
The Arkansas Advancement Asoscia-
ton, like the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World, was formed to
"tell the truth" and was originated
following attacks Gil the integrity
and solvency by powerful eastern
newspapers. Examples of appall-
ing ignorance and misinformation,
when read by Mr.. Petite, provoked

Four Power Pacific Treaty, the ad-
ministration forces this afternoon
swept down to defeat the proposed
amendments and reservations. No
real objection was encountered in

treaty Senator Robinson, Demo
crat of Arkansas, demanded roll
call but a moment later withdrew
tie demand However Senator Poin-
dexter insisted upon n roll call on
article two. The article was adopt-
ed by a vote of &C to 2S, thus in
dicating safe majority for the
treaty's final ratification.
An amendment to the treaty was
offered to the effect that any ma

the other member nations in any
understanding reached under article
two should not be bound to that
This amendment
was defeated by a vote Of 29 to 81.
Senator Reed of Missouri offered
another amendment to article two
stating that it is to be expressly
understood that no nation shall by
reason of any agreement arrived at
be in any manner obligated to do

that Arkansas securities became a

National Geographic, in printing
photographs which were typical of

one of dismal swamp to represent

replied that pictures of the Solo

than those of points of interest in
Arkansas. But this difficulty will
occur no more, as the association
can now furnish the photographs.
There are two counties in Arkan-

the contamination of single state

directing district union officials to
ask all nonunion men to Join the

The Jonesboro Tribune of March
23rd, says: "A very serious fire oc-
Cured this morning about BIB
O'Clock, when the garage and three
large Garford trucks, property of
the A. j. Scott Co., was completely
destroyed by fire, and Curley Gam
bill had a narrow escape for his
life, but escaped with only slight
burns on his hand,
"Gambill, who is one Of the truck
drivers, went to the garage to get
his truck to make his express de-
liveries to the Missouri Pacific at
Nettleton. He had filled his tank
with gasoline and as it was dark
and he was not able to see just
how much gas he had in the tank,
he unthoughtedly struck match.
He got so close that the gas ignited
and in q few seconds the flames
mounted high in the air Forum
ately for the driver he received
only minor burns on his hand. The
fire department was called and by

the flames to the garage, which
prevented a spread to the factory

''The loss of the three trucks and
buildings was about $4,000, and
insurance was carried by the com
pany for about half of the value.
The three trucks burned were
owned by the Coca Cola Company"

been Genro, but he preceded va
magata to the grave by few weeks

Division Of Power.
The Genro came into existence in
1876, succeeding the Sa-in, to advise
the Emperor and do certain legi3la-
tive work. Later. with the adoption
of the Consultation and the estab-
lishment of the bureaucratic gov
eminent, they became advisers to
the throne and dictators Of the bu
reaucracy The four factors in the
government have been the Emperor,
the Genro, the clans and the bu-
Shoshu clans the Genro have come,
and their control of these two pow
erful sectional organizations of the
country led to the growth of their
influence.
In many ways the service of va
magata and the others to this coun-
try is inestimable, but it has meant
continual building up of the mill
taristic policy-more battleships and
a larger army, more power on land
and on the sea and an extension of
the power of the Land of the Rising
Sun to parts and places where con-
cessions were desired. The naval
agreement of the Washington con
ference showed a reversal in policy
to some extent, an awakening to the
fact that Japan could not go on as
she was.
Growing Cry for Relief.
This change must he attributed
country for a reduction OF arma-
ments and relief from the burden Of
taxation, however. And this cry is
continuing. In the Diet now the
government policy is being attacked
day after day by the opposition,
and sooner or later further econ
omies and a reduction of. the land
forces will come.
Yamagata's death will gvie i'm
petus to the movement. The two
aged Genro will continue to advise
during the rest Of their lives, but it
will hardly be possible to take new
men into their ranks and build up

OBITUARY.
MRS. WILLIAM A. ALEX

Lucy Barbour, wife of William A..
Alexander, died late Wednesday af-
ternoon, Sept. 81, at her home on
Oak street. Her death was a shock
ing surprise to her many friends,
few of whom realized the seriousness
of her condition. Sustained by a
faith that upheld her long after
others would have been Frustrated,
she kept about her daily tasks just
as long as nature would permit.
Mrs. Alexander was born in Bucks
port March 8, 1872, and came to
work in the insurance office of her
brother-in- law, George H. Grant.
She was married on September 10.
1894, to William A. Alexander of
Ellsworth, and her home here be-
came the center of her interests.
For it she worked untiringly, true
helpmeet in every sense of the word,
and in fullest sympathy with /her
husband.
But though her home was her
first interest, Mrs. Alexander con-
tributed her part to community
duties and activities, and gathered
about her an unusually large circle
of friends, in whose social life she
found delight. She will be sadly
missed in the home, and by this large
circle of friends.
She leaves, besides her husband,
one sister, Mrs. Ida r. Grant, who
has made her home with her much of
the time in recent years, and one
brother, Wellington Barbour of Fox
croft To these the deep sympathy
of many friends is extended.
The funeral was held at the home
Friday afternoon, Rev. George T.
Jones officiating. There was pro-
fusion of beautiful flowers from
family and friends near and far.
Interment was at Woodbine ceme-
terry.
