ROY COST IS
GIVEN fine
FOR ASSAULT
Young Man Is Fined TWEEN
ty-Fiivc Dollars for As
saugt and Battery on
Young Woman.
(From Wednesdays Daily

Police Judge John Battens court
this morning was the scene of q
trial, Roy COST being charged with
committing assault and battery ON a
young woman. The young man
plead guilty to the charge Of strik-
ing the young woman, Martha Will
son.
The young woman testified that
yesterday evening were walking
along the sidewalk bordering the
railroad platform and that COST
was proceeding on the opposite side
of the street. Ira called to COST
as to whet !er he was going to court
again, the girls having been two OF
the principal witnesses for the state
in the recent case of Elmer Cole,
charged with pandering, while COST
was a witness for the defense. COST
crossed the street and engaged in
conversation with Ira PostOn and
while thus engaged Martha Wilson
commanded Ira to leave COST and
''come along" Martha alleges COST
cursed her and that she then told
him to be careful how he called
anyone such names. Martha then
claims that COST grinned, walked
up to her and struck her. knocking
her down,
Ira Poston's testimony was prac-
tically the same as that Of Martha
Wilson's. COST, however, claims that
Martha instead of warning him tc
be careful of the use of such names
cursed him and that he then knock
ed her down. COST and the two
girls denied that the trouble wa'
started by any connection with The
Cole case. Woodrow Wilson tosti
fled that he was across the stree
from the scene of action and tina
while he heard the oath passed ant
thought the voice was that of {
woman's, he was not certain whether
she was cursing COST or warnins
him to be careful.
Judge Batten fined COST twenty
five dollars on the charge of assault
and battery and warned him that il

to call police instead of striking
her.
Josie Price will be tried in Police
Court tomorrow on the charge OF
conducting a disorderly house.

to whom the QUESTIONABLE was not
sent. And their replies are dis
couraging. The league authorities
confess that the nations OF Europe
are in no mood to disarm, and they
look for no material progress toward
army reduction during the next
three or four years.
Most of the nations are keeping
up their armies from fear. Some
are keeping them mainly for eco
nomic pressure on other nations.
Frances army is primarily debt
collecting machine, to squeeze repa-
ration money out of Germany. Yet
that army breeds others by making
otner nations afraid of France.
The economic situation in Europe
is mainly responsible, at bottom,
for those armies, because it delays
war settlement and business revival
and fosters discomfort. On the 9th
err hand, the armies are largely re-
sponsible for the economic situation.
There cannot be prosperity until
the cost and menace of armament
are removed and the soldiers turn to
productive work.
+ Lloyd George tried to remove both
causes of trouble at Genoa, by urg-
ing long military truce and loans
for the most stricken nations. But
that effort failed. If there is SINH
lar failure at The Hague, Europe
will continue an armed camp in
stead of a workshop. The whole
process of failure began when the
u. S. Senate irreconcilables repudiat-
ed Woodrow Wilson and the League
of Nations.

H0XIE BOWS
TO ALL STARS
BY SCORE 81
Local Team Plays Fast
Brand of Bali and Easily
1riumphs In Diamond
Melee at All Star Park.
tFrom Wednesdays Daily

Yesterday afternoon the fighting
mine from the Missouri Pacific shops
|trounced the baseball outfit from
Hoxie by the count of eight to one.
The game, played at All Star field,
was one of the fastest to be seen
in this city this spring. Darling on
the hill for Paragould showed the
Hoxie crowd that an old timer can
still bend the horsehide on its way
to the platter when he allowed only
three hits throughout the tussle.
Huggins, the new shortstop for the
All Stars, showed up in fine form
and played a nifty brand Of ball,
He also secured a three Dagger and
two singles. Barfield soaked the
visiting twirler for a three sacker.
The All Stars found Wagle for seven
hits. Following are the line-ups
of the two teams: All Stars-Clark,
1b; Barfield, CT; Thorpe, If; Hug
gins, S.; Noble, IF; Pritchard, 3b;
Woodward, 2b; Darling, p. Hoxie-
Schiller, 3b; Brattin, 2b; Dawes Of;
Estis, 1b; Davies, If; Wall, IF; Fin
ly, S.. Sexton, c. Wagle, p.
Center fielder Dawes in the fifth in
ming scored Hoxies only run. The All
Stars runs were divided as follows:
Barfield 3, Higgins 2, Thorpe 2,
and Greenway one.
This afternoon the All Stars open
ed two game series with the Reyno
on the local stamping
ground. Game time has been set
for three forty-five. The second
game will be played tomorrow after
noon.
No official box score was kept on
yesterdays game. Following is tn
score by innings:

THE GIFTED CHILD.

! Skipping grade is no longer
regarded as the ideal solution to
the problem of the specially gifted
child in the public school.
In most up-to-date school systems
the backward child is already given
considerable helpful attention. Eff
fort is made to discover the cause of
his backwardness. If some defect
Isuch as eye strain, insufficient nour-
lishment, or other physical disad-
vantage is discovered, the remedy
lis promptly sought. If his slow
ness is due to some other cause,
that, too, is handled with special
care and the child is given every
opportunity to progress along the
line of his own ability.
The bright child has had to shift
for himself more or less, with oc-
casional promotion to a higher grade,
skipping the preliminary prepara-
ton of the grade immediately pre-
ceding.
In the advanced grade he may be
handicapped by the lack of drill
he has missed through his sudden
promotion. Sometimes he is still
a misfit, and he is inclined to be
a little self-conscious about his own
superior ability.
The new way, proposed by Dr..
II. II. Goddard, director of the Ohio
Bureau of Juvenile Research, would
section children to their ability,
giving each group the instruction
it needs. In this way the duh child
will receive encouragement, and the
bright child will be carried along at
a pace suitable TO his years and
ability. He will be among his own
mental peers so that there will be
less opportunity for self-complacency
and less opportunity to lie down on
the job. He will have to compete
with other pupils equally bright in
stead of easily understanding slower
pupils. The idea should commend
itself everywhere.

u. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

When the United States Chamber
of Commerce was instituted about
10 years ago, it attracted little at
tention, and many of those VINO
noted its arrival on the scene were
inclined to be dubious as to its
future. It's first president was a
Boston man, John II. Fahey, and
hough the infant institution seemed
to be in competet hands, it looked to
MANY of these dubious ones as II
it were to be simply one more or
ganization, with restricted sphere
of service, and that sphere limited
to the Eastern states.
The fact that it's last president
was a Chicago man, Joseph H.
Defcees, and that at the conven-
ton Just held julius Barnes OF Du-
luth was elected president for the
ensuing year, proves that the infant
sphere of decade ago has rolled up
like a SNOWFALL, and has rolled
westward. Among it's vice-presl-
dents are men chosen to represent
groups of states-Eastern states,
Northern states, Southern states,
Western states The directors and
honorary vice presidents range in
their homes over the country, in
Guiding such widely scattered towns
as La Sale and Moline, H., Fitch
burg, Mass, Devils Lake, N. d., Ok
lahoma City, Denver, Los Angeles,
Kansas City, New Orleans and York,
Pa.
Such an organization, national in
scope, gathering up the lines OF
trade into an orderly and disable
skein, has possibilities of inestima-
BILE service.

THE WET FIGHT.

a.
1t is becoming plain that there
is a good deal of fight left in the
vets. Elections in many places this
fall will hang on the question wheth-
er it is advisable to modify the
Volstead Act.
Behind all the noise made by the
patrons of bootleggeEs, behind all
| the talk that more drinking is
going on than ever BEFORE" stands
| the cold, hard facts of the benefits
) the country as whole has already
experienced because of prohibition.
Granted that in some would-be smart
circles a great deal of drinking
is still going on, and great deal
of illicit trade, it is still true that
Outside of these noisy circles less
drinking is being done than ever
before, and that little is decreasing
as private stocks fade away, and as
knowledge of poisoned booze spreads
among the people.
The health of the country was
better last year than ever before
The period of depression caused
less pauperism and misery because
more people had savings than ever
before. Crime, though prevalent
enough, is less so than in drinking
countries.
1t is too soon to know whether the
Volstead Act is wholly wise pro-
vision or not. An experiment on
such an enormous scale as the pro-
hibition experiment cannot be work
ed out in less than five or ten
years. Enforcement, one might say,
is just beginning. Public opinion,
uncertain at first, is just beginning
TO rally actively to the support of
the law, and Paragouid and Greene
county are affording fair examples
of the prevalence of that sentiment
IT, after the test has been fairly
further trial of modifying the Vol
stead Act, that will be another mat
ter. For the present, it would seem,
better to stand pat on the act as it'll
is, and to assist enforcement of it
as it stands, until the public has a
chance to see what it is like when
it is enforced as it was intended
to be.
Inasmuch as the steel men declare
for the abolition of the 12-hour
working day "if and when practical
blo," their 12-hour workmen are
not expecting to save a great deal
of daylight right away.

There are two schools of political
thought in this country at present,
one holding that the country needs a
sedative and the other that it needs
a stimulant. Well know more about
that after the fall elections.
Secretary Hoover is a brave man.
when he proposes a return to the
Garfield coal distribution system, if
he remembers what people said about
Garfield when it was in force before
Berlin reports that 124, 1868 per-
sons sentenced to prison in Prussia
last year have just been pardoned.
