A man in St. Louis left his home
on Sunday before Nov. 6 to bet
$50 on McKinley’s election and
has not been heard of since.’ This
should have been a "warning to
others, but, unfortunately for
Democratic purses, it was not
generally known.
Mrs. Mary E. Lease, the famous
political speaker, who has been in
rapid succession a Populist, a
Democrat and a Republican is now
seeking a divorce from her hus
band. Mr. Lease, who, by the way,
is a good Democrat, will not fight
the divorce knd he says he is glad
to be released from hen
No doubt President McKinley
has conferred at length with the
Republican managers before writ
ing his message this time. It is
extremely embarrassing for a man
that looks so much like Napoleon,
to be forced to change his position
on public questions as hurriedly as
Mr. McKinley did on the Porto
Rican tariff. He should have his
“plain duty” outlined for him be
forehand.^_
Gen. Kitchener’s plan to concen
trate in towns all the non-combat
ants in South Africa has begun to
work. We read in a recent dis
patch that seventy-five women
whose husbands are in the Boer
army have been deported from
their homes to Pietermaritzburg,
one of the British towns in Natal.
England’s policy in this respect
should occasion no surprise to
those who are familiar with the
history of her warfare. It is not
astonishing that the same nation
which incites the savage and mer
ciless Indians to ravage the de
fenseless homes of the American
soldiers during the Revoluntionary
war, should again introduce bar
barity into its warfare. The ap
palling cruelty of this concentra
tion measure is no greater than
that which characteri/ecfEngland’s
policy with the Acadian peasants,
when these simple people were
torn ruthlessly from their homes
and scattered to every part of the
earth. _

We have watched the papers very
closely, expecting every day that
Gov. Jones et al. would issue a
specific denial and a complete re
futation of the charges brought
against them by Prof. Ernest T.
Bynum, of Fayetteville; but up to
this date our diligence has been
without reward. Will t'< gentlemen
whose honesty and integrity has
been so seriously questioned per
mit these charges to go by un
noticed? Prof. Bynum charges
that attempts were made to confer
the L. L. D. degree of the State
University upon certain prominent
men of the Estate in return for aid
rendered to Gov. Jones in his race
for the United States senatorship,'
and asserts that his opposition to
the wholesale conferring of these
degrees brought dowh upon his
head the wrath of the high officials
of the State and University, and
that his stand upon the question
caused his dismissal from his posi
tion in the school. If these things
are true no measure of censure.can
be too severe, no rebuke too caus
tic for these officials who have
thus betrayed a solemn trust im
posed'"! n them by the people, and
if Bynum has maliciously slandered
these gentlemen they should cer
tainly give the citizens of Arkansas
the facts in the case and remove
the stigma from their names.
It is too early now to predict
with any degree of certainty what
action Democracy will take on the
silver issue in 1904; but it is evi
dent that this issue has not such a
strong following in the party ranks
at the present tilne as it did in 1896.
At the Kansas City convention the
silver plank received a bare ma
jority in the committee, and the
deciding vote was cast by the Ha
waiian delegate, who represented
no electoral vote. Indeed, the
states which voted for the siiver
plank represented a much smaller
number of electoral votes than did
the states which opposed it. Tak
ing this into consideration it takes
no seer to perceive that free silver
is not as strong with .the party as
in 1896. As for the peqple, their
attitude towards this issue has
changed even more decidedly than
has that of the party. This is evi
denced by McKinley’s increased
majority this year, despite the
strength of anti-imperialism and
opposition to trusts as issues. Now
along with these facts it might not
be amiss to consider a few more
things in'connection with free
silver. Free silver is originally a
Republican issue, having been
embodied in the platform of that
party in 1896, and was only drop
ped by them because their leaders
in 1896 saw an opportunity to raise
a large campaign fund by favoring
the gold standard. For it cannot
be denied that the majority of the
country’s business men are op
posed to free silver; and is it well
advised, is Tl logical to presume
that business men s interests are
not identical with those of the peo
ple at large? In the panic of ’93,
when poverty entered the homes
of the poor, it passed not by the
rich. Every day saw the failure of
great banking, manufacturing and
commercial institutions. Thispanic
certainly affected both poor and
rich alike, and thus far their inter
est do not conflict. Now in the
present wave of prosperity both
classes seem to be affected alike, as
far as we can determine. These
things prove that the prosperity of
business men and. the people at
large are not always obtained by
different methods. Another thing,
the very fact that we can have
prosperity under the gold standard
should be considered. It is a rule
of common acceptance that we
should not make a change unless
we make one for the better. Hav
ing this maxim in view, consider
ing the general prosperity of the
country, acknowledging the two
defeat^of free silver at the hands
of the people, surely the party will
consider well this issue before
adopting it again in 1904.

Pity
and ,
Beauty
The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and joy. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and joy have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve-all but pity
and love-is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong; it is either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick!
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.

Mr. K. C. Groover and Miss Mamie

ful and beautiful presents. The
members of Maple Leaf Camp -No
'9, W. O. W., stole a march on the
groom. Mr. Groover has been an
efficient worker in the order for a
long time, and to show their ap
preciation of his labors quite a
number of Woodmen, armed with
a beautiful writing desk and book
case, and headed by a string band,
marched to the Gannaway resi
dence about 9. jo, walked boldly in
and for a short time ran things to
suit themselves. The surprise was
complete. Refreshments were ser
ved. Mr. and Mrs. Groover are at
home at 11.4 South Thirteenth.
