THE REAL CAUSE.
Although the assassination of
two members of the Austrian reign
ing family led to the bloody war in
Europe, involving the expenditure
of thousands of lives and millions
of money, the underlying cause of
the great conflict is the hatred
European nations have for each
other. And there is something in
this statement to make us wonder
what manner of men inhabit
Europe, the most densely popula
ted continent. In the United
States of America, far away from
mother lands, thousands upon thou
sands of these cosmopolitan races
dwell and work together in appar
ent harmony. There Is no friction
or discord among them in America:
it is only in their native lands,
breathing the air of their mountains
and valleys that the nations of
Europe cannot live together in fra
ternity. Perhaps, after all, it is
not the racial instinct which makes
these men murder in hatred, but
the intrigues and plottings of those
who, by that great force they pre
fer to call Destiny, feel capable of
governing a people that should,
quite likely, be able to govern
themselves.
THE LAST GREAT tUROPEAN WAR.
History repeats itself—but with
variations. A hundred years ago
France alone, under the leadership
of Napoleon, faced Germany, Aus
tria, Italy, Russia and Great Bri
tain—and won.
At thirty-six, Napoleon had con
quered every nation of Europe and
in the battle of Austerlits in 1805,
practically brought the continent
under the subjection of the French
army. Then Austria, Germany
and Russia formed the' great coali
tion against France, only to be
beaten in battle after battle until
they were forced to sue for peace.
England, thanks to her impregnable
navy, was the only nation not
forced to acknowledge Napoleon’s
rule.
It was the snow covered steppes
of Russia rather than the military
science of Europe that finally
turned the tide against him.
The present European crisis
gives a particular opportuness to
the offer of Napoleon's Memoirs,
announcement of which is made in
another column of this paper. Few
books throw a more illuminating
and intejesting light on the under
lying causes of those years'of con
flict than the fascinating story of
the man whose meteoric career left
Europe sown with the seeds of
discontent.
“ Eventually.” said Napoleon,
“Russia will rule the world.” The
prseent conflict will go far towards
determining the truth of that proph
ecy, and day by day it will furnish
an absorbing illustration of the ad
vance which has been made in the
art of warfare since the aays*' only
a century ago. when France alone
had Europe at her feet.
Napoleon's Memoirs, written by
his private secretary, Baron De
Meneval, will give you a clearer in
sight into that tremendous upheaval
of Europe which the present crisis
seems destined to reproduce.
TNI FIRST UDV.
How futile it is to extend condo
lence to one who has been bereft of
a lifelong companion. America
mourns sincerely with President
Wilson, but mourning will not re
store the first lady of the land who
gave her life to working for the
common good, a truly first lady in
all that the term implies. Unlike
many women in public life, occupy
ing the highest station an Ameri
can woman can hold. Mrs. Wilson’s
busy career was one devoted to the
needy and unfortunate. Her best
monument, the greatest tribute
that can be paid to her,.is in the re<
membrance that she splbnt most of
her time furthering the interests
and smoothing the paths of those
who were unfortunate enough to
be poor. __
PRESIDENT AVERTS A CRISIS.
The great war now raging in
practically all Europe threatened
financial disaster with us until
the President announced through
Secretary Mac Adoo that the Treas
ury stood ready to furnish five hun
dred million dollars to the banks of
the country with wh:ch to meet
demands, if needed to tide over
any financial emergency. This an
nouncement had a wonderful ef
fect in maintaining the financial
equilibrium of the country, for the
sudden stoppage of our foreign
commerce, amounting to over four
billion annually, is sufficient to
throw any financial system into
convulsions, and yet the wise and
masterly statesmanship of Wood
row Wilson has already steered us
through the danger zone into a po
sition of comparative safety.
Have you laid away the money
to pay your taxes next April? You
will think about taxes at that time
and about public affairs that make
taxes. But are you familiar with
the measures you are to vote on in
the September election,* some of
which have a direct bearing on
taxes? Are you discussing these
measures with your neighbors?
Act No. 3. the publicity measure,
will be voted on. It was initiated
by 18,000 voters, the largest num
ber that ever petitioned for a new
law in Arkansas. It provides for
public receipts and expenditures to
be published in the newspapers and
cuts the legal rate of printing in
half, it will probably get the big
gest majority ever given a popular
measure in an Arkansas election,
because it will promote good gov
ernment and equalize taxes. You
ought to study it and be able to
discuss it. We have some copies
of the book entitled "Turning on
the Light," which explains Act No.
3 and tells what it is designed to
accomplish in the way of promoting
efficiency and economy in public
affairs and in equalizing taxes and
promoting good government. "The
Public Has a Right to Know,” is
the slogan of the friends of Act No.
3. We will be glad to present you
with a copy of the book if you will
send a two cent stamp or call for it
it our office.
The horrors of war have not yet
been depicted. The calamity of
thousands lying dead on Belgian
battlefields is a horror that stays in
the memory. The tragedy of the
mother who weeps for her son, the
anguished wife who awaits in vain
the return of her young husband,
the sweetheart whose only hope is
in the memory of the last kiss
those are the real horrors of ^con
flict that saps the brain and brawn
of the best of the world's nations
and leaves voids that never can be
filled again.
President Wilson has again en
deared himself to the whole civil
ized world bv tendering his good
offices as mediator to the warring
powers. It is doubtful, however, if
anything can restore peace except
the overwhelming and crushing of
Germany, which seems to be the
‘■fair she has been playing for.
Dog-gone it. every time we be
gin to get ready to go to Europe
something comes along to make us
cancel the trip.
After all. say the tourists, there’s
no place like home.'

STRONG FEATURES
miNT NO. 14
IT IS MUCH SUPERIOR TO TI^E
MEASURE SUBMITTED TO
PEOPLE IN 1912.
SAFEGUARDS ARE STRONGER
Rural Voters, Not Being Affected, Will
Aid the Cities and Town*
in Its Passage.
(By Executive Committee, Greater Ar
kansas Association.)
Some have confused Amendment
So. 14, to he submitted at the Septem-,
her election, with the amendment
which was voted on two years ago,
and charge against the present amend
ment some alleged defects of the 1912
measure. The amendment now pro
posed, is, in the minds of its friends,
a much stronger measure than the
other one. The safeguards are strong
er, Ihe restriction about the issuing
of bonds a*e more severe, and at the
same time, the measure is one that is
based on the best bond laws of the
other states of the Union. When the
present amendment was devised, it
was done at a two days’ conference
of sioine of the best lawyers in the
state. At the meeting were also ahont
forty mayors and other city officials,
and tlie intention of the meeting w-as
to draft an amendment which, when
proposed before the people, would ap
peal to the people's sense of fairness,
because of the justness and fairness of
all its terms. The friends of the
present amendment believe that al!
these things can be properly claimed
for it.
All Qualified Electors May Vote.
* A careful survey of the bonding list
of other states of the Union shows
that nearly all of them permit all
qualified electors to vote on the mat
ter of issuing bonds. The friends of
the amendment believe that such a
provision is a wise one. There is no
provision in Amendment No. 14 which
will keep a voter away from the polls
because he is not a large or a small
owner of real estate. If he is quali
fied elector, authoriezd to vote under
the laws of the state, at other elec
tions, he will also be permitted to
vote on bonding measures, under the
terms of the present amendment.
Memoirs of Napoleon
In Three Volumes
The personal reminiscences of (Won do Meneval, for
thirteen years private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte,
bring out, as no history can, many enlightening and
interesting side lights on the character of that greatest of
leaders. De Meheval's descriptions have the piquancy
and interest possible only because he was' an actual eye
witness of the scenes and incidents of which he writes.
Their reliability and historical interest can be judged by
the fact that the very conservativ e b rcnch Academy
publicly recommends them.
