VINDICATION TOM THE PRESIDENT.
Now that practically all Europe
has been plunged into war over a
pretext that must be considered
trifling indeed absolutely con
temptible in view of the untold hu
man misery involved it is to be
hoped that fair-minded Americans
will begin to estimate more at their
true value the wisdom and justice
of that policy of watchful waiting
which has proved so successful in
in President Wilson’s handling of
the Mexican question. The United
States had far more provocation
for intervention in Mexico than
Austria-Hungary had for its trucu
lent attitude toward Servia. Huerta
proved himself a peculiarly exas
perating person, with much more
ability and a greater command of
resources than were at first cred
ited to him, and there can be no
doubt that a war of invasion, and
possibly even of permanent occu
pation. would have proved popular
with a large part of the American
public. After the landing at Vera
Giuz nothing would have been
easier than to find a pretext for
such a warlike policy.
It is infinitely to the credit of
President Wilson and his advisers
that notwithstanding the sneers
and jeers of the empty-headed, the
malevolent and the selfish interests
that desired to expioit Mexico for
the benefit of their own pockets,
he refused to take advantage of the
weakness of a sister republic, but
adhered firmly to a line of action
that was high minded and patriotic.
Contrasted with the bullying arro
gance of Austria-Hungary, which
nas set all Europe aflame, the
President’s course has TShown the
highest statesmanship, and his
country has benefitted immensely
by his patience and tact. This fact
is now generally recognized by in
telligent Republicans. The Boston
Herald, a loyal standpat organ,
after praising the President for re
sisting the clamor to attack Mexico
and comparing his course with that
of the authorities in Vienna under
less provocation, says:
“But the President exercised a
staying and a steadying hand. We
did not go in. We have saved our
selves the horrors of war. and the
long legacy of hate throughout
Latin America which would surely
have followed. If the example of
our own President could find imi
tators among the crowned heads of
Europe it would be a blessing to
humanity.’’--The Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The truth of the matter is God
made the country for the town
men and the devil made the city
for the beguilement of countrymen.
Folk fly from the city for the peace
and quiet of the country, while the
countryman flies from the village
for the joys of crowded theatres
and music halls. The balance is
adjusted by the prevailing discon
tent. The ideals of the country
are kept alive by converted city
people who go back to the land and
simple life. The attractions of the
I city are fed by the country lads and
lasses who are lured to town and
gaiety, glitter and noise.
What will the historian of the fu
ture say about the European war
as it appears on the surface at the
present time? Newspapers, the
first gatherers of news, are finding
j it very difficult to bring order out
I of chaos. Such reports as do
trickle through the censorship sieve
are so small and so unworthy for
the most part that the general pub
i lie knows very little about what is
really happening. It is an assured
fact that there is fighting some
| where. Where it is--that is the
question. And what will the fu
ture historian depend upon when
he begins his story?
€>«H(i*arof the Furthest South
in Uselessness is the aggregation
known as the Industrial Workers
of the World. They fail to live up
to their name, if reports arp cor-1
W t
rect, and since such is the truth
they should change the label, i
About all the work they do is to
worry the police and make decent
people ashamed of their country I
which permits organized loafing to
become an art.
The number of silos in Arkansas
is increasing every day and will
continue to increase. If we are to
raise fine stock we must feed them,
and it costs too much money to
feed them any way but the best
and cheapest way.

Almost any sensible woman

The First We Hear About Our
New Laws Is When Somebody
Is Punished For Violation
we SPEND >200.000 EVERY TWO YEARS TO PUT NEW LAWS ON OUR STATUTE BOOKS—WHY NOT
SPEND FOUR PER CENT ADDITIONAL AND INFORM OURSELVES A8 TO WHAT THE LEGISLA
TURE DOES?
In Arkansas there dwells 1,674,44$
people. That was the nun*oer Uncle
Sam found when his enumerators'
counted them In 1910. Of course there
are more than that now.
{ If any one of these 1,574,449 people
violates the law, hs is liable to be
punished more or less severely. We
! do not refer now to such well known
l laws as the statutes against murder,
theft, arson, bootlegging. These and
many more are common to all civil
ised countries.
But there are hundreds of laws in
tended to regulate our conduct that
we hear about for the first time
when somebody gets his name In the
paper for violating them. It might
have been yon.
You pick up the newspaper and
read that a store keeper has been
fined at Little Ro^k for not placing
seats for his women employes.
“Is that the law?” you ask yourself.
”1 might be prosecuted for that my
self."
Maybe you band a waitress a dime
after she has served your meal, per
haps you smoke a cigarette which
you have just purchased at the cor
ner store, perhaps you run a hotel or
public building and have a roller tow
el In the wash room or leave a glass
bv the water cooler, or run your au
tomobile 30 miles an hour on a good
stretch of country road. In each case
you are a law violator. Did you know
it?
Yen pay the legislator *200,000 a
year to put such laws on the' statute
books. Don’t you think it. good busi
ness and common sense to spend four
per cent of that amount to be inform
ed as to what laws are passed each
two years?
At present, the state prints 5,000
copies of the acts of the legislature
which go to members of the legisla
ture and lawyers, to inform 1,574,000
people in Arkansas what the new
laws are.
If you think that is about as absurd
as some of our other laws, vote for
Act No. 3, which will cause to be pub
lished in a newspaper in each county
of the state, a brief summary of each
new- law, prepared by the attorney
general. You have a right to know
J Vote for Act No. 3.
