What Will They Do With It?
We trust the election of Act
ing President Futrall, of the
State University, to be the real
president of that institution,
marks the beginning of some
settled policy and harmony
therein. For years the univer
sity has been the sport of poli
tics and of internal factions, an
experience which would have
killed a less hardy institution
and one with shallower rooting
in the good will of the people. '
Under the circumstances that
have existed, taken into consid- J
eiation with too scant aid from .
the legislature, it is indeed re- j
markable that the university j
is forging ahead instead of go
ing backward. This gain must
be due to the innate virility of
the state university idea—that
is to say the people’s apprecia-j
tion of its usefulness—and to
the high character of the stud
ent body and the fidelity of the
faculty to the main purpose al
though the faculty is not free
from the change of factionalism
that must inevitably have de-!
tracted from the strength and
purpose and success of the uni
versity.
Now that the politicians seem
disposed to allow the university
to pursue its proper course with-.
iut pernicious intermeddling let:;
ns hope the faculty will bury :
dissension and work together for 1
the good of the university and (
the state.—Fort Smith Times- ;

What Is the Men's Forward
Movement.
It is usually an easy matter
to ask a question, but rather a
I difficult matter to answer satis
factorily the question at issue.
The question is frequently ask
ed by men regardless of social
caste and religious taste what is
the Men’s Forward Movement in
Newport? Men do not invest
their time, money and energy in
a proposition about which they
are totally ignorant. Ask any
man who is in business what his
business is, he does not have to
consult an Oracle nor a Sage of
remote history, but his answer
is always on the tip of his
tongue. Why then should the
question be asked so often by
intelligent men, what is the
Men’s Forward Movement? In
as much as the question is ask
ed so often it is the writer’s de
sire to answer the question and
to answer it to the perfect satis
faction of all fair-minded men
It is not an innovation. It is as
old as the Christian religion, and
dating back to the source of all
religious activity, the Carpenter
of Nazareth. It is a real move
ment, in a real world, in a real
way and composed of real men.
It is not an anti-saloon league,
not a political machine, but a

the men of the world. It is an
Anti Evil Association and inaug
urated for the uplift of humanity
everywhere. There was a su
preme reason why the Organiza
tion came so prominently to the
front, and under the most pro
pitious circumstances. It was
the dreadful neglect of the men
of our town that this movement
was inaugurated in Newport
The men are pre-eminently the
neglected citizens of the countrj
as touching religious matter
and activity in the Christianiza
tion of the world. It wa
brought into existence to touc
the heart, win the confidence an
love, to impress the minds c
men with the peculiar honor am
dignity that is theirs in th
evangelization of the world. I
the year 1648 in Westminste
Abbey a company of venerabl
men was in session. The actua
time covered four long year*
They discussed all of the cardi
nal principles of religion, formed
definite views, adopted certain
rules of faith and discipline.
The Assembly did not convene
for the special advantage of the
people of England, but today af
ter the passage of centuries En
gland is still feeling the heart
throbs of that great company of
men. Just as the river takes
unconsciously the color of the
soil through which it flows, just
so will the stream of thought is
suing from the fountain head of
he Forward Movement not
)nly change climate and envi
ronment, but color the thoughts
md characters of all in the
own of Newport.
In the Men’s Forward Move
nent all of the timely subjects,
md up-to-date religious topics
ire most cordially welcomed,
rhe motto of the organization
s “Better Things For All, And
Ml For Better Things.” The
jlatform is world wide in scope
md interest. It is strictly non
?ctarian, non-denominational,
md non-distinguishing as to
nen. We know men as men in
)ur meetings and on the avenues
>f life. It is our ambition to in
spire all men to move in a whole
some atmosphere of love and in
vest. We are trying to inspire
nen with the necessity of iden
ifying Churches of the Nation
nore intimately with the civic
md social welfare of all people. I
-Ve believe that the question
ms been answered, and that the
idmiration of all who may
hance to read this article will
peak a word of encouragement I
or the organization.
Next Sunday afternoon Hon. I
Hay Sloan has promised not to I
isappoint the men of the organ
isation, and will be present to de
ver the regular address at 3
I ' '
p. m. in the Methodist church.
I Sunday afternoon, March 22nd
; Dr. C. H. Brough of the Uni
versity will deliver the address
on “The Challenge of the Coun
i try.” Dr. Brough is a man well
! known throughout the state, and
j we will welcome him to our city
! on the date mentioned. The
! general public is most cordially,
invited to attend the services on j
