KEEP THE HEALTH FIRE
RIlRMING

The law OF compensation seems to
Official figures inform us that the
death rate is decreasing and the sui
eide rate increasing. Seemingly if
man cannot die from natural causes
within a satisfactory period OF time
he will shuttle off the mortal coil of
his own volition.
The decline in the death rate in
1921 over 1920 as reported by n OF
the great insurance companies Is de-
scribed as quite remarkable-in brief
1877 pei cent. tuberculosis decreased
1875 per cent, Bright's disease decreas-
ed SIS per cent, diseases of the heart
II per cent and diseases relating to
child bearing 1872 per cent. There
will be still further decrease when
the government learns that human
beings are, economically at least, as
valuable as hogs, and then functions
intelligently through its health depart
ment to educate the people in the
matter of sanitation, stripping the
mask of mystery from simple medica-
lion and putting before the men and
women of the land the A, B, C, of
health conservation. The schools
should teach the children something
Of the habits and indiscretions that
throw a monkey wrench into the nat
ural machinery, and they should know
the reasons why.
The calm Indifference with which
civilized governments all over the
world have ignored the education of
their peoples in matters pertaining to
health is an indictment of civilization.
Billions for war, millions for pork
barrels, hundreds of thousands for
political fence building, but not a cent
to teach the people how to preserve
their health, upon which all happiness
and prosperity is based. The medical
profession is fast in the strait jacket
of idiotic ethics that have been the
direct cause of thousands Of deaths,
and the great field of information has
been turned over to the quack doctors
and cure-all takers.

UNDER
n MICROSCOPE

The report to the Federal Trade
charging practically a price plot on
the part of the three leading tobacco
manufacturers in their operations
with the jobbers, has aroused more
than usual interest in all parts of the
country, particularly in the tobacco
growing states, and more particularly
among the tobacco growers them
selves.
All the facts are not yet available,
so it would be unfair to suggest either
criticism or praise of the work of the
commission 1t is quite evident, how
ever, that a large-siZed monkey
wrench has been thrown into the to-
bacco machinery. The discomfort of
the tobacco growers will not be les
sened by the findings of the commits
sion, and of course the multitudinous
anti-tobacco elements in all sections
of the country will take full advantage
of the situation.
The tobacco growers contend the
prices they are paid for the leaf as
compared with the prices the public
pays for the finished product are out
of all proportion, and this brings the
manufacturers dangerously neal the
neither millstones. News reports indi-
cate a determined effort to have the
public study the figures so there may
be a protest loud and long regarding
the price of a smoke.
The Federal Trade Commission has
not yet made any definite statement
ns-to the profits Of the manufacturers,
Me issue must be ~squarely faced.
Eness to the tobacco companies de
lids that the findings on profits be
given to the public at the earliest pos
sible moment. Great concerns like
The American Tobacco Company, Lig-
gett & Myers and the P. Lorillard
Company now under such vigorous
attack should not be subject to the
injury of a half completed indictment.
They must want, and are entitled to
no less than the publication of the
entire bill of particulars. If, in addi-
lion to the allegations of price fixing
there are, as limited, to come figures
10 show the exploiting of the tobacco
rover on the one hand and of the
public on the other, then there should
be no delay in their publication. The
companies should have early and fUll
opportunity to clear themselves.

 We, the undersigned the adver- tisement read, "ex-service men, mem bers and non-members of the Ameri- can Legion, regard the soldiers bon us as contrary to the ideals which prompted our military service and economically unsound We believe the wounded and disabled ex-service men should be immediately and ade- quately provided for by the govern ment.'
 The American Legion post has adopted resolutions saying the adver- tisement did not express the general opinion of the -ex-service men.

CUSTER OF SHERIFF PREVENTED
Supreme Court Grants Temporary
 Writ Against Judge Sorrels.

Pine Bluff, Feb. 15.-A temporary writ of prohibition was granted by the Supreme Court at Little Rock to- day preventing Judge w. B. Sorrels of Pine Bluff from passing on the petition for the removal of Sheriff John McClain of Lincoln county. The petition asking the temporary writ or prohibition was filed by Attorneys R. w. Wilson of Pine Bluff, Arthur Johnson of Star City and w. F. Kirby of Little Rock. They set forth the claim that Lincoln county was with out jurisdiction to pass on the peti- ton of the removal of. the sheriff. Chief Justice McCulloch issued the writ.
 Action on the petition for the re- moval of McClain was to have been taken up early today. McClain's at torneys filed an answer and demurrer land Judge Sorrels announced that he would pass on the case at 1 o. clock this afternoon, but before that hour he was advised that the writ of prohibition had been issued,
 The Supreme Court is expected to make final order on the case Mon day. This will determine whether Judge Sorrels has the right to pass on the removal petition Sheriff Mo- Clain has been absent from Star City for several weeks and it had been im- possible for Dr. T. F. Collins. coron- CT, to get service on him. McClain returned to Star City last night from Pine Bluff.
 The petition for removal was filed last week by Prosecuting Attorney E. C. ~Brockman as the result of convic- ton of McClain at the last term of Lincoln County Circuit Court on a charge of drunkenness. He was fin ed $25.

INSURANCE RATES LOWER
Twelve Per Cent Reduction Ordered
 for Texarkana, Texas Side.

Texarkana, Feb. 14.-lnsurance a. gencies here have received notice from the Texas State Fire Insurance Com mission of a reduction of 12 per cent in the fire insurance rate on the Texas side of Texarkana, effective March l. It is estimated that this reduction means total saving to the people of the Texas side of about S25,000 year, So far as can be learned the rates on the Arkansas side will remain un- changed, at least for the present, be- ing under the control of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, which has given no intimhlion of reduction. Te cut on the Texas side is said to be due to the exc llent record made by the Fore Departmen during the past 3 years. The Arkansas side recently has purchased several thousand dol lars worth of new equipment, and has increased the number of its firement It also is arranging to build an ad- ditional fire station in the FalrvieW residential district. It is thought by some that these changes may result in a reduction in rates on the Arkan' sas side also.

PRESIDENT DELAYS
 LETTER ON BONUS
c. 0. P. Ladders Desperately Try to Find Some Method of Financing
 Economy Plan Develops.

Washington, Feb. 15.-President Harding kept congressional leaders guessing today by delaying his prom ised letter on soldiers bonus Iegisla- ton.
 A meeting of Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Commit tee scheduled for this morning was adjourned until afternoon and later postponed until tomorrow when the letter failed to arrive
 Meantime a mbvement developed for the passage of bonus bill with out any scheme of financing, funds to be made available by a slashing of appropriations for the army and navy and other departments.
 Republican Leader Mondell of the House began the preparation of a statement dealing with possible econ omies. The statement may be made public tomorrow. MT, Mondell ex- pressed the belief that between $2OO.- 000,00 and $300,000,000 might be sav- ed by vigorous cutting of pending appropriation bills.
 Representative Fordney, chairman of the House Ways and Means Con- mittee, repeated his intention to push bonus legislation, regardless of the position that may be taken by the president. MT. Fordney indicated that if necessary he would favor passing compensation bill and figure out way of raising revenue afterwards.
 Passage of bonus legislation with out any special provision for raising the funds probably would necessitate the issuance of additional short term certificates of indebtedness as de- ficit developed A reduction of even as much as $3O0O00,OOO in contem- plated appropriations for the fiscal year 1923, would not prevent a def cit. It has been estimated that S350,- 00O,000 would be needed annually dur ing the next three years to pay the cash bonuses.

Completing Comprehen=
 Sive History of State

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-Dallas T. Herndon, State Historian is complet- ing the manuscript for the most com prehensiye history of Arkansas ever compiled. He has gone thoroughly into original sources for his material and. every statement has been care fully verified. The work is the result Of many years of research It will be published in three or more large royal octave volumes There will appear in it a vast store of inform atlon which is not available anywhere else save in obscure, newspaper files and pamphlets or other publications that have long been out of print There will be more than 50 pages in the history and the first volume a. lone will cover more than 1000 pages Evefy phase of the states history from the earliest dates of Spanish exploration down to the present day will be thoroughly covered In his foreword, MT. Herndon says:
 The swamp lands, once so un- slightly, have been reclaimed. protect ed by levees and converted into pro- ductlVe farms; the mineral deposits of the mountain region have been exploited; great sawmills have given commercial value to the forests; rali- roads have been built to connect Ar kansas with the outside world; hun creds Of thousands of dollars have been expended by the state in the construction of modern hiehwavs: and the log cabin of Arkansas Traveller" notoriety, with it's leaky roof and unkempt surroundings is I thing of the past.
 The geographical position of Ar kansas is ideal. Centrally located in the southern Mississippi Valley. it is neither "up north" nor down south." back east" nor "out west" Here the southern planter may find opportuni ty to cultivate his cotton, cane and rlce; the northerner, his wheat. corn oats and clover; the western his al- falfa; and the easterner his tobacco and fruits. To set forth the geo. graphical and climatic advantages of the.l state; to correct the mistaken notion that Arkansas is far behind the other states of the Union an in- tellectual and material progress; to present in graphic and authentic narrative form the story of the states development along all lines. are the obJects of this proposed history"
