As Others See Us.
After raising sand because
somebody tipped off his opinion
before he had it thoroughly
printed, Attorney General Wil
liam Moose, of Arkansas, has
given out an official opinion to
the effect that the Going liquor
law is unconstitutional, because
it permits only white people to
sign petitions in favor of the li
quor traffic, thus discriminating
against the negroes, who are cit
izens of the country. Arkansas
’has her liquor laws in a muddle,
but no doubt her people will be
like the people of Kansas, who
were, acording to the late witty
senator, J. J. Ingalls, well pleas
ed with existing arrangements,
because the temperance people
will have all the law they want,
while the liquor people will have
all the whiskey they want. —

Future Gambling.
Congress will probably soon
take up again the pretermitted
question of putting an end to
future gambling, or betting on
the chalk marks put up on the
blackboards in the various insti
tutions of the country called ex
changes. The evils of this form
of gambling have been vividly
presented to the people of Mem
phis, and if the sentiment
throughout the country is the
same as it is here, it will not be
long until the big gambling in
stitutions, as well as the little
ones, will be put out of business.
The claim has been made that
the cotton buyer who can hedge
against loss is a benefit to the
cotton planter, because he would
thus be enabled to pay the full
market price without fear of
loss to himself. This argument
has been destroyed time and
again, because hedging is no
protection. New York can ten
der the actual cotton on settling

day, and the buyer must accept
it, notwithstanding the fact
that it includes twenty-eight
different grades that are not
worth shucks to the spinner. It
has been insisted also that the
future gambling game was play
ed only by those who are weal
thy enough to enjoy the sport
of the kings of finance, and that
no one is injured by it. The fal
lacy of this argument has also
been shown in a recent disas
trous failure in Memphis, where
the money of the poor, the un
protected and the innocent and
trusting was spent in playing
the game.
There is no economic reason
for future gambling, and it
ought to be destroyed and or
dered out of the country. It
has no standing in any court,
and is merely a purifying spot
on the commercial body of the
country. Eminently respectable
gentlemen in almost every city
conduct bucket shops under the
name of brokerage offices, in
which money is accepted and
bets placed for the gamblers,
.lust as they are for any faro
bank or chuckluck game, with
the difference that the percent
age in favor of the two last
named games is much less than
it is in favor of the bucket shop.
These institutions are run
ning in violation of law, and vio
lation of law always brings
about evil consequences. They
ought to be closed up and “For
Kent’’ 'signs placed upon the
doors, to the end that some leg
itimate and helpful business may
be established in their stead.—

Dansant For Miss Ottenheimer.
One of the most charming of
the many social courtesies ex
tended to Miss Ruth Ottenheim

the pretty home was thronged
with guests who enjoyed the
dance, many beautiful figures
being on the program.
The home was aglow with
crimson lights under red shades
and strings of red hearts were
suspended from the ceiling
across the rooms, the beautiful
valentine idea being carried out
in every feature of the after
noon’s affair.
The dining room was exquis
itely done in red carnations and
hearts, a vase of the above men
tioned flowers, forming a center
decoration for the table. Tea
was poured by Mrs. W. A. Bil
lingsley, who was gowned in a
lavendar Parisian silk, and Mrs.
Van Dyke, who wore a dainty
white Paris muslin. A buffet
luncheon was served by Miss
Bertha Hirsch, wrho wore gray
crepe, Miss Leah Jones in white
spangled net, and Mrs. B. W.
Stainback, who wore a costume
of blue and gold.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 13.—There

the state at the San Francisco
Exposition. The members of the
Arkansas Press Association
meeting at the same time, at

There is a structure which every institution buil
itself. It is called character, and every act is a st
this stucture.
An institution, in order to have a good character
think honestly, act honestty, breathe honesty,
people soon determine between the genaine a
counterfeit. They know the ring of the true
and the base.
