The election of Sid McMath as
governor of Arkansas over the
pernicious machine of Jack Holt,
professional politician, and James
Uncle Mac" MacKrell, is a
victory for clean, constructive
government for the people, by the
people and of the people, i"
He will bring to the governors
chair the vigor of youth, yet OBJ
viously with vision. The same
wedge of good government that he
drove into the Mclaughlin ma
chine in Garland county has split
asunder what could have been one
of the worst combinations in his
tory of the state, with Jack Holt
as governor in name and James
MacKrell as governor in fact.
Arkansans now can look for
ward to at least two years, and
maybe four more of constructive
government. Fortunate, indeed, it
was that the Wonder State didn't
listen to the miniature Bilbo and
thrust into his hands a weapon
that could have been held over
our heads for years to come-an-
other Mississippi in shame!-Hel-

The people of Arkansas as cleo
tors and as citizens, have not on
ly elected a governor during this
week, but have also passed up
two dangerous choices in so doing.
One Of these was Uncle Mac
MacKrell, and the other was Mr..
Hollis dangerous and inflammat-
tory racial issue.
Mr.. Holt, in his reckless attitude
of damn the cost" to win, tried
desperately to sidetrack the prin-
cipal issues of the campaign and
to befog the voters by dragging in
the race question. It had no part
in proper campaign, and the in
telligent voters so decided by their
vote. This is a sign Of progress in
Arkansas. Back few years ago,
the average voter would not have
realized he had been hoodwinked
until the votes had been counted.
Bilbo. Talmadge and others who
lived off of the strife and race
hatred programs they engendered,
have gone their way, and the
South Is better off as a result. We
will be wise not to raise any other
race dictators to take their place
in this era.
The fact that Arkansas did fail
to fall into either OF these traps
is almost as good news to those
interested as the fact that she
picked a clean young man for her
governor. Forrest City Times
Herald.
On the broad, young shoulders
of Sid McMath falls the tremen-
dous task of administering the
business affairs of Arkansas dur
ing the next biennium. 1t would
be displaying poor grace on the
part of any citizen not to wish
him success in that undertaking
The capabilities Of Sid McMath
as a leader have been tested and
proved, first on the field of battle
and more recently in the political
arena. The same holds true of his
courage and aggressiveness. He is
reasonable and blessed with phys
ical charm, valuable attributes in
any field of endeavor. II is for
him to weld and fuse these quail
tiles with wisdom and humility
that he may justify the high hon.
or that has come to him. -

 MT. Grigsby contended that the badges of fraud which Attorney Kay offered applied only to sub sequent creditors and that such was not the case at hand He then quoted from the American Jurisprudence Volume 24. under the heading of Fraudulent Con- veyanceS, Section IA, which says:
 'WhereaS the familiar indicia or badges of fraud may in many instances be relied on by an ex- iSting creditor as establishing a case for the granting of relief. it is not sufficient for the subse- quent creditor to make out a case of merely constructive fraud foun- ded on such facts as lack of con- Sideration or insolvency on the part of the tranSferer; he must establish fraud in fact or actual fraud and he must assume the burden of proof in this respect" He then eXhorted the court that only the most definite and posi- tive evidence should be consider ed in giving decision to the Plaintiff: Notice of Appeal was not given at that time.

Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Clem- ems Schneider, formerly of the Seward Tailor Shop will be glad to read excerpts of letters re- ceived here from them in Lon don, England.
 April 28-"Clemens and l had no idea we would visit Europe when we arrived in New York, but quite unexpectedly we found we could sail on the "New Am sterdam'-a very fine Holland American ship-within 3 weeks. We dashed like mad to get our passport visas and additional shopping done The 2 days trip on the boat was most perfect.
 Among the 1000 passengers we met many congenial folks from San Francisco my home town, and San Diego, the middle west and many HollanderS and English people. We danced every night, swan every day and went for long walks on the open decks and played games out of doors.
 The food was so good we sure ly overate-and had to get plenty of exercise to keep our weights down.
 In London we were met by Clemens niece and nephew who live right in the heart of Lon don. They had a room for us in their apartment and had saved up rations of food for months hop ing we would change our minds and visit them. Many people are not so fortunate as to have most anything they'd want to eat. These folks budget very well and of course some of them have friends or relatives who send things from the United States
 London, to us, was a sorry sight. So many places are bomb ed buildings. which stand in their ruined remains with only the loose bricks hauled away No doubt many years will pass be- fore they can be rebuilt
 Clothing prices are very high, and articles are of much inferior quality,
 None of the women wear the New Look. They say they nev- CT will. We think it is because clothing is rationed so closely. and the new look requires more material The wages which one makes here are nothing to com pare with the United States.
 Our nephew works as a sales man and as a waiter in a Deli catessan. He makes pounds a week (S20) and supports wife and 2 small children. They can not believe it is possible that such wage scale exists as in the United States.
 Every day we are out seeing the city, now that we are famil- far with the traffic and money sys- tenn. Cars are very old and make lots of noise. Subways are nice, cleaner and quieter than New York but do not run as fast
 One of our first trips was to the House of Parliament. Inside we visited the Court of the Lords Princess Court and House of Com- mons. Every wall and gallery is covered with beautiful paintings and carvings. Some places appear to be inlaid with gold.
 How beautiful is Westminster Abbey the old cathedral where Princess Elizabeth was recently married.
