The Justly Praised
Bryan Treaties
I he America Review of Re
view's contains the following
article with regard to Bryai
and the peace policies promnl
gated by him. It contains foot
for thought for those hair-trig
er jingoes who seem to third
that the chief business of na
tional governments is to built
war machines for the destruc
lion of other nations.
“Since resigning Mr. Bryai
has been in Iris proper sphere
and everybody is the gainer
His talks about the war anti
about the making of peace anti
its future safeguards have beei
eminently wise and sensible.
The newspaper assertions that
he was going out to fight the
President, split the Democratic
party, and become a rival can
didate for the nomination,have
not been justified by any word
or act of the great campaigner.
Jit' has been proclaiming the
value of those treaties of his
which call for investigationand
delay before the outbreak of
war between nations.
“In the days to come, it will
appear that Mr. Bryan had
really done one great and
splendid piece of work as Sec
retary of State, in that he had
seemed the signature of about
thirty treaties between the
United States and other coun
tries, requiring that unsettled
disputes should be submitted to
impartial inquiry, and that in
all cases there should be an in
terval of a full year for medi
ation or arbitration before re
sort to arms.
“He very justly says that it
the issue between Austria and
Serbia had thus been dealt with
the present war would have
been avoided. We are certainh
bound by our own treatiesaml
proposals; and it is impossible
to imagine this country would
go to war upon any defined is
sues without being willing tc
adopt the method of settlement
which we have been urging up
on the entire world for just
such emergencies.”
An exchange has figured it
out th;it one of the great troub
les with the country today is
the fact that everybody is try
ing to keep up with someone
better off than he or she.
Thousands of people who are
today riding in automobiles
ought to be riding a mule.
Thousands are driving mules
that they have never paid for
and never will. Most all of us
are longing for the time when
we may own an automobile so
we can be up in fashion with
those who have one. But our
desires to catch up with the
rich are never gratified.About
the time most of us poor folks
get an automobile the rich will
be riding in flying machines,
and we will still be behind.
The Arkansas Gazette says,
‘in order to prepare for emer
ge neies, we might teach Amer
icans more of the use of fire
arms and less of firewater."
And The Journal would sug
gest that the Gazette might
help to carry out its own sug
gestion by cutting out the glar
ing liquor advertisements that
arc to be found almost erery
day in the columns of that
paper.
Is your country church what
it ought to be? Are you proud
of your school? If not, get to
gether with your neighbor and
make the school and church
what it ought to be.—Home

Searcy Shoots Himself After
Disagreement With Father
Seacy, Aug. 10.—With his
neck and breast torn by the
charge from a shotgun he had
tired himself, the body ofChas.
West, aged 14, a suicide, was
found yesterday afternoon in a
room in the residence of his
father, the Rev. James West,
a Baptist minister of Sidon, 16
! miles north of Searcy. While
his father and two sisters were
at a church meeting at Sidon,
three miles from their home,
the lad had locked and barred
the doors and windows of the
room, tied the shotgun to the
bed with a handkerchief, seat
ed himself on the floor and
pressed the trigger with a stick.
The coroner’s jury called
today by Justice W. L. McMa
han returned a verdict of sui
cide. The boy was buried to
day at Sidon.

father because of quarrels the
boy had had with his school
mates is said to have been the
cause of the lad’s despondency
which led to iiis self-destruc
tion.
CLOSE CALL FOR
NIGHT OPERATOR
L. C. Polston, third trick
operator at Diaz, while en
route home from Newport had
a narrow escape from death
iat the hands of an assassin.
Polston had remained in New
port until the night train had
gone and was walking to Diaz,
when he was suddenly con
fronted by a man who arose
.from beside the track and be
Igan firing at him.
Polston dropped to the
ground at the first shot and
this probably saved his life,
as his assailant fired only two
more shots at him after he was
down, probably thinking he
■ had been hit by the first shot.
The would-be assassin turn
ed and ran after firing the last
shot. No reason can be given
for the attack, as Polston has
no avowed enemies, and he
says no attempt was made to
rob him.
