A NEW POLAND
|| AFTER THE WAR
I | Czar’s Promise Of An Autono
/ mous State Wins Support of
\ I , Poles In Three Empires.
tju United Press Service.
wjbi New York, Aug. 28.—A new
Til autonomous state of Poland,
1 somewhat larger in area than
>\ the state of Colorado, with a
7 population approximately 20,
000,000 will be one of the results
P/ of the European war if Germa
V ny and Austria are defeated by
? the Allies. . •
This is the meaning of th*
W Czar’s proclamation promising
fU autonomy to a United Poland if
\ the Poles would come to Russia’s
assistance.
Poland was the second largest
kingdom in Europe from the
eleventh century to 1772 when
Russia, Prussia and Austria each
siezed a portion of Polish terri
tory. Other partitions followed
until now, the ancient kingdom
consists of the Province of Gal
icia in Austro-Hungary; the
Provinces of West Prussia and
Posen in Prussia, and Poland
proper as well as other districts
in Russia.
Russia and Prussia have treat
ed the Poles like conquered peo
ple. Both countries have at
4 tempted to force their own lan
guages and institutions on their
Polish subjects by military me
thods. Poland has been to Rus
^ sia, and Posen, where most of
the German Poles live, has been
to Prussia, what the Irish ques
tion, before passage of the Home
* Rule Bill was to England.
Austria has treated her Pol
ish inhabitants more liberally
than has Russia and Prussia,
and the Province of Galicia
which is Austrian Poland, has
enjoyed comparative freedom.
4 Many Poles hold high office in
, the Austrian govenment. Many
| are trusted with important posts
/ in the army.
The Galcian Poles, hitherto
l have been against Russia in the
J present war, but the Czar’s as
f, I surance that Russian, German
1 and Austrian Poland will be—
j| * | “re-united—that “torn and
bleeding Poland” will bleed no
more—undoubtedly will cause a
change in Galicia’s attitude.
More sentimental interest is
attached in Galicia to a reunited
k Pqland than elsewhere because
Qracow is Galicia’s chief Polish
\rity. Cracow was the original
\apital of Poland, and after the
/apital was removed to Warsaw
Pdish kings continued to be
crowned in the Galician city for
150 years. Cracow, with the
,surrounding district, was the
last part of Poland to resist ab
sorption, holding out as a repjr'j
lic until 1846.
| The Czar’s promise to the
Poles to restore their language,
religion and history and cus
'■ toms, and to let them govern
I themselves in a united province
under Russian imperial sover
1 eignty ought to facilitate the ad
| vance of the Russian armies
(through the eastern borders of
Prussia and Austria.
The Russian troops probably
will be received by all Poles as
deliverers, and the military con
sequences should be considered.
At the same time, the Czar’s
promise of liberalism will per
mit England and France to an
swer Germany’s claim that the
alliance against her and Austria
is being dominated by the spirit
of Russian reaction.
The Czar’s move in offering
autonomy to Poland is the most
important strategic and states
manlike move the war probably
will bring forth.
I Birds That Destroy Weevil.
Protection of orioles, swallows
i and nighthawks by cotton grow
ers because of their destruction
of the boll weevil is the subject
of an unique and helpful docu
ment issued by the United
States Biological Survey. The
(Bureau has discovered that six-,
ty kinds of birds eat the weevil,
but that the oriole, barn swal
low, rough-winged swallow,bank
swallow, cliff swallow and mar
tin are especially persistent en
emies of the boll weevil.
From the stndpoint of the
farmer and cotton grower, the
swallows are declared to be the
most useful brids. They are
built to capture weevils flying
over the fields, which few other
birds can and will do.
Even the common blackbird,
meadowlark, titlark and killdeer
aid in the killing of the boll wee
vil.

PUBLICITY METHOD
PROVES SUCCESS
Was Tried In Chicot County,
Says Judge Harry E.
Cook.
•
“Chicot county has been using
the publicity method of conduct
ing public affairs for . the past
two . ears and with marked suc
cess,” County Judge Harry E.
Cook of Lake Village, secretary
of the County Judges’ Associa
tion of Arkansas, said yester
day.
Judge Cook was one of a num
ber of the county judges in Lit
tle Rock to attend the conference
of the county executive officers
with the Arkansas World’s Fair
Commissioners, who commented
favorably on Act No. 3, the pub
licity bill to be voted on at the
general election Monday, Sep
tember 14.
Judge Cook said that on his
recommendation two years ago
the Quorum Court of Chicot
County appropriated $100 to be
used in having published, quar
terly, all allowances, made by
the County Court, covering all
general claims, all road claims,
and all other allowances made by
the court and issued by the
cieiK.
KEEPS PEOPLE ADVISED.
“We find it an excellent check,
and the people are constantly ad
vised of the disbursements of
their funds, to whom paid and
for what purposes. This sys
tem has a tendency to make
more careful those presenting
claims for allowance; keeps the
county judge advised of certain
expenditures; enables the cor
rection now of any useless or
needless expenditures rather
than years later.
“This method places a public
servant in a better and fairer
position should he again seek
public favor, because the voters
have his record before them long
before he is a candidate and are
constantly advised of his efforts
to serve them intelligently and
honestly or ignorantly and reck
lessly. I found in the last elec
tion, in which I was a candi
date for my fifth term as county
judge, that it pays to take the
people into full confidence and
partnership in the administra
tion of their public affairs.
DEFECTS ARE OUTWEIGHED
“There are some features of
Act No. 3 that do not meot with
entire approbation, but there is
so much good in the measure
that the defects are greatly out
weighed. The act does not go
far enough. Levee and school
matters are of as much public
concern as the other matters
provided for in this measure,
and the sunlight of publicity
should reach these expenditures
the same as others.
“I have always advocated pub
licity in all public matters, and
particularly matters of public
finance, and feel a great satis- j
faction in knowing that every j
man can see monthly what be
comes of the taxes he pays. We
could not be persuaded to discon
tinue the publication of our af
fairs, and no one would venture
to advocate, openly, a discon
tinuance of the practice.”
OTHER JUDGES OPINIONS.
“Every public officer,” Judge
Celia of Miller county said rela
tive to Act No. 3, “who has the
interest of his county at heart,
should be in favor of this act,
for it certainly is a measure
which will have a great deal of
effect in educating the public in
affairs which they as citizens
should have the fullest knowl
edge.”
County Judge Williams of Ma
rion county, Judge George of
Yell county, Judge E. B. McCall
of Ouachita county also ex
pressed the belief that the act
should be adopted for the good
of the public.
“Act No. 3 will more than pay
the expenses of letting the peo
pie know,” Judge Williams said,
‘in the suppression of extrava
gance and payment of unjust de
mands.”
“I think that it pays to take
the people into full confidence in
the administration of their pub
lic affairs,” Judge George of Yell
county said while in Little Rock.
m
President Wilson On Publicity.
President Woodrow Wilson be
lieves in publicity. So does Wil
liam J. Bryan, who originated
the movement providing for pub
lication of campaign expenses, j
Every great statesman believes
in publicity, and many states
have furnished unequivocal en
dorsements of Act No. 3, now
before the voters of Arkansas, a
number of them going so far as
favoring such a law in national
affairs but wishing at least for
its enactment in every state of
the Union.
On the general subject of pub
licity, President Wilson has
said:
“Publicity is one of the puri
fying elements of politics. The
best thing that £011 can do with
anything that is' crooked is to
hold it up to the public gaze, and
then it will either straighten it
self out or disappear. Nothing
checks all the bad practices of
politics like public exposure.
You can’t be crooked in the
light. I don’t know whether it
has ever been tried or not; but
I venture to say, purely from
observation, that it can’t be
done.”
“And so the people of the
United States have made up
their minds to do a healthy
thing for both politics and big
business. Permit me to mix a
few metaphors: They are going
to open doors; they are going
to let up blinds; they are going
to drag sick things into the op
en air and into the light of the
sun. They are going to organ
ize a great hunt, and smoke cer
tain animals out of their bur
rows. They are going to un
earth the beast in the jungle in
which when they hunted were
caught by the beast instead of
catching him. They have deter
mined, therefore, to take an axe
and raze the jungle, and then
cover. And I, for my part, me
see where the beast will find
cover. And I, for my part, bid
them God-speed.”

Newport Accepts The Evidence :
And Many Newport Readers
. Will ProfitIt.
Which is the more weighty
proof—a few words from a
Newport resident, whom we
know and respect, or volumes
from strangers in distant
towns? There can be only one
reply.
Mrs. M. Porter, 416 Hazel St.,
Newport, says: “I had a con
stant ache in the small of my
back. Stooping or lifting made
me suffer intensely and I felt
languid and worn out most of
the time. My kidneys didn’t act
as they should. On a friend’s
advice, I got a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills from Walker’s
Pharmacy. After using them. I
was free from the ailments.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply sk for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Porter had.

very serious operation, per
formed Wednesday, the 26th, at

Link of St. Louis. Mrs. Holt
has visited many physicians
and specialists and has spent
the greater part of the last
few years at various health re

that the surgeons believe that
she will be fully restored to
health by the operation.
