HOT SPRINGS LID IS OFF
Hot Springs, June T- After 33*
days of suppression, the much
ralked-of lid in this city was blown
completely off at > o’clock tonight
and the leading gambling houses
of the city opened their door-.
Gambling is open and unrestrained
and the entire city is mystified as
to "'hat ha^ wrought the chang*
I’lie only explanation of t (*
change is that, during his recent
visit here to attend the Democratic!
state convention, Governor Davis
sustained a change of heart rela
tive to the lid situation.
With the avowed purpose of
closing the gambling houses of the
city. Governor Davis, the first of
April, appointed W. T. Scroggin
prosecuting attorney, after a con- j
ference with the ministers of Hot1
Springs. Immediately following!
his appointment, Mr. Scroggin
served notice that the gambling
houses must close, and April t> the
lid was placed in position, and
there Mr. Scroggin has tightly j
held it until tonight.
The entire population is curious |
over the cause for the sudden
change, but as the gamblers refuse
to talk, and the prosecuting attor
ney disavows responsibility for the
disappearance of the lid, no satis
faction can be obtained. The lid
was in poMt'on just 33 days.

FREEDOM FOR THE WORKING MAW
Keep Out of Debt and Avoid Mort
gages the Road to Indepen
dence Says Sam Curtis
To The Newark Journal:
There is a lot of ways of think
ing, but there is only one way of
thinking right; there is a whole
lot of ways of doing things but
there is only one way of doing
things right; there are lots of peo
ple wanting to make money, but
there is only one way to make
money honestly, and that is to
make it without making somebody
else suffer. 1 don’t think I am a
Solomon, and 1 don't claim any
kin with the old man only by way
of Adam and Eve; and I don’t
claim to be full of wisdom. 1 do
clahn, however, to have enough
sense to know when anything
tastes bitter, and 1 also know the
other fellow is mistaken when he
eays a crooked thing is straight.
And since I have enough sense to
know crooked things from straight
things, 1 will speak a little about
crooked things. Now, if you will
listen and pay attention you can
plainly understand my subject.
Von know this is a big world and
we haven’t heard of anybody be
ing responsible for it but God Al
mighty. We have been taught all
our lives that the earth was made by
Him for the benefit of 11 is child
ren. If it was, then we believe ev
ery fellow has a right to enough
of it to keep him warm in winter
and well fed and well clothed.
Turn your eye to the large manu
facturing cities of the United
States and foreign countries and
you will see a small band of men
who own and control the markets
of the world. They set the price
on the goal which you warm by
and which the poor man digs from
the earth. They also control the
wheat which you raise by the
sweat of your brow, and the price
of the cotton which you raise by
hard labor. These men tell you
they will give you such-and-such a
price for your produce and you
have to take it, as they have things
in such a shape they are permit
ted to set the price, not only on
your labor, but on the products of
your labor. There is not an in
telligent man but what will tell
you that every comfort of life
tirst originates from the earth or
the surface of the earth, therefore
these comforts do not belong to
man but to God and are only giv
en to the human family to use for
their benefit. Does any man be
lieve that (iod, when he created
this earth, tilled it full of mineral
and intended that a handfull of
men should appoint themselves
trustees of these giffcs and deal
them out to their fellowmen only
when they are paid unreasonable
prices for them? If you believe
this, then you believe (iod is the
most tyrannical being that the hu
man mind can conceive.
Now, if you will try to get out
from under the mortgage system
and own what you have, and not
let the other fellow have what you
own, then this thing of the other
fellow setting the price will be of
the past and all you will have to
do is to tell the other fellow what
your produce is worth and get it.
Now let's sill try this anti >ee if it
won't work, if if doesn’t 1 w< n’t
a., any u. .e. >am ( t ans.
