If Solomon Did Come To SArkan-
sas Today

SOS AOucty
It is strange how far away from the
truth some men win stray during
political campaign.
1t is naturally to be expected that
all of us will, at least occasionally,
allow our personal preferences to sway
our Judgment to some extent, and most
of us are willing to make sufficient al
lowances for the other fellow to tell
things favorable for his candidate. so
long as he stays within the bounds Of
reason.
But when a man who has been
prominent in the public affairs of the
state-a man who has, time after
time, been honored by the people Of
the state--a man who has attained the
age where he should take distinct
pride in his reputation for truth, vera
city and honor-a man who has every
facility for correctly informing himself
and has reached the position in life
that Ex-Gov. McRae has reached
then the people who have so highly
honored him have "A right to expect
that he will be at least as truthful as
a common boathouse fisherman.
Gov. McRae says in a statement
published over his own signature that
Governor Terral attempted to put
upon the state a book contract that
would have cost the school children of
Arkansas perhaps four hundred thou
sand dollars"
But the real facts of the matter
are, according to statemen of the
book company which held the physiol-
ogy contract for the six-year period
ending in 1925, and which statement
is now on file in the governors Office in
Little Rock, the total gross sales OF
this book in Arkansas for the past six
year period was only $S1, 900.
Gov. McRae should either admit
that he has decended to the level Of the
common guttersnipe politician and
lied to the people of Arkansas, or he
should explain by what method Of
mathematics he figures it possible for
the school children to lose 100000
on a contract involving total of only
$S1 600.
There is not a half-witted school boy
i'm the most densely ignorant section of
Arkansas that would believe state
ment like that.
And yet Gov. McRae-a man who
has been highly honored by the people
of Arkansas, and who has reached the
age in life where he should feel dis
tinct pride in his good name and his
reputation -for truth, honor and vera
to the level where he is
willing to give out signed statement
like this in an effort to mislead the
people into voting against Gov. Terral
for a second term.
81 said in my haste that all men
are liars" Solomon is quoted as say
ing, if we remember our Scripture cor
rectly. If Solomon could return and
come to Arkansas today, he might very
appropriately repeat the statement
with mature deliberation and an ex-
cusable show of profanity with refer
ence to at least one of the ex-gover-
nors of Arkansas.
