1t does not require prescience of a

now, with 1000 cotton mills, the

that 95 per cent of the intoxicants
consumed in Arkansas is manufactured

will be less difficult to enforce the law.

ROAD BOND FUNDS BEING DIS
TRIBUTED

Distribution of the proceeds of the
$6,000,000 issue Of road bonds sold
by the governor on June 80, is being
made by the state treasurer under
the new depository law. This dis
tribution was authorized by the board
of finance, composed of the COVER
nor. auditor and treasurer. Half the
amount will be divided among the
counties on a property assessment
basis, and each county's allotment
will be divided equally among its in
active repositories.
The sum of 100000, or half of
the bond money. was set aside for
the use of the treasurer and to be
deposited by him in the 81 active
checking repositories, recently des-
ignated by the board of public works
This sum is apportioned among the
senatorial districts on a property as
sessment basis. and each district s
share is divided as nearly equally as
possible among its active checking
repositories.
The distribution of the $4,000
inactive funds among the fifty-five
counties includes Berkeley. S39,S10:
Jefferson, $30,810; Morgan, $20,370;
Mineral, $31, $50, and Hampshire
$12,990.
This is the first distribution of
funds under the provisions of the new
depository law enacted by the last
legislature. Hereafter, all checks
for disbursement of funds by the
state will be drawn by the treasurer
upon the active depository banks ex-
cept for the transfer of funds from
them to the active depository banks
when actually needed by the treas
urer for checking purposes. This
method will give to the inactive de.
pository banks a stability of funds
that was impossible under the ole
law.

cardinal virtues of the Democratic
party has been an opposition to high
tariff and closed markets. Conse-
auently, in selecting our nomlee for
Congress, there is no danger Of run
ming far afield.
From Jefferson to Wilson the poll
cy of the party has been to make the
World safe for democracy, through an
adherence to healthy and progress
sive principle of internationailsm. IN
direct antagonism to that policy OF
isolation held by the Republican par
ty, under the selfish and pessimistle
slogan of "America first"
It seems to be a settled policy OF
the administration TO repeatedly an
nounee the death of the League Of
Nations, although it repeatedly ac-
knowled&es communications from the
League. with a repeated claim that
the World Court lives, but not as an
offspring of the League. Something
incomprehensible to the Wise Men or
our Wfgwam. who can not see how
ANYTHING can exist unless it is begot-
ten. Nor can our Wise Meen see
how the plan of the administration to
put across the World Court can sue
coed, as likely, the irreconcilables OF
the party will kill the measure. or at
least, place it in condition where no
loyal Democrat can support it, with
the result that the administration
will show its impotency in this, as 1t
has in all other matters.
This question therefore, will be a
dominent issue in the next Presiden-
tial Campaign. For this reason, our
nominee for Congress should under
stand the question and be able to de-
bate it, with the loyalty, If not with
the zeal, fervor and eloquenee of a
Newt Baker.
We should have nominated Justice
Clarke. or McAdoo for President.
Justice Clarke still lives, and McAdoo
also, in memory, and great many
people believe he lives in fact also.
Our prophet predicts that the two
outstanding figures before the next
Democratic National Convention will
be Justice Clake and Governor AL.
