An exchange comments on the inconsistency of the Republicans in ihat in Arkansas they favor prohibi tion and in Texas they oppose it. But prohibition is not a matter of politics, except as used by one or another of the parties for political effect, which is not necessarily a help to the cause. Many a man shouts for prohibition who wants some offie? or preferment a great deal more than he wants prohibition. The same is true of parties. Many people who are ardent in the:r belief in temperance, even in a totd abstinence from any kind of strong drink, are not believers in prohibition. Perhaps the most noted of such is W. J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan positively declines to declare for proh:bition, but sets the fine example of te nz a total abstainer. Prohibition is a principle that alone probably will never curry any party into power in the nation. I is a principle that will be fought out locally for yeats to come, and will, in the end, bring about a right con d tion, one that Th* Star believes, Wi'l remove the great evil from the face of the earth. There Is no inconsistency in any party supporting me principles oi prohibition in one state and not in another. Tne parties arc made up of men, ruled by men, and it "11 de pends upon the wishes of a majority of these men in any party in any community as to whether the party is pledged to prohibition or against it. _____________ RESIST THE riOB SPIRIT Thai the people of Springfield, the dignified old capital of Illinois, should so far lose their heads as to hang and shoot an innocent man just be cause he was Mack and fled before them for his life; shou'd beat and trample, club and shoot tach other, burn and wreck business houses and j merchandise, cut the hose of the fire department that was trying to ; suppress the flames, and commit such violent deeds as recorded in the news columns, is cause for a deep study of humanity as to the con tageous influence of the mob. Be-1 sides that, it is a disgrace that years will not wipeo ut. It is not infrequent that the deed of some black wretch in the South i starts a similar disturbance, but it is rare indeed that so many in any c ty join in the deeds of vioianee, or that the frenzy carries them so far as did that of this last instance, and yet. an hour before .Springfield lost its head it is probable that a large per cent of even those who partici pated in the acts of insane violence, j I would have pointed with scorn to , ju ' ' * another city where such deeds had been done. There can at least be one lesson in such an affair. Men should strive hard to resist the mob spirit at times of excitement such as this. They should remember always that in any community there is an element that is ever ready to take part in such, that glories in the opportunity to show its brute force, to release its animal depravity, to rend and de stroy. It is a terrible thing to see such a primeval force released, i nd many fold worse when men of high er instincts and better training give themselves up to it. That Springfield affair should be looked upon as a calamity, and its lesson to every man of good intt n 'ions should be to resist with migl t a i main the mob sp r t that is to ' e ily brought out at such times. THE HOSPITAL CUDDLE There is no doubt that Mena as a whole and her citizens individually f *cl aggrieved over the last annouce m -nt made by the chairman of the b tard of trustees of t^e Kansas City Southern Employes’ Hospital As.-r 3 ation, and there are few if any hut will grant that such feelings are j istifi.td. It is hard to satisfy a ci'y o: a man that has entered into a c intract to do certa n things for a c msideration and has done these things religiously and then, after delays on the part of the record party covering years, be told that a tion is indefini ely postponed. That the Delinquent party has good intentions intends to carry out the c ntract at some undesignated time —is hardly all that should be ex pected. However, before taking any radi<a’ steps in the matter Mena should be sure of her ground and, to this end, aneffort will be made to have Mr. Coughlin, chairman of the board of trustees, stop over in Mena on his return from the south, where he now K and meet with the business men and the contributors to the hospital fund. Mena wants nothing more than a fair deal, but surely wants that. THEY ARE AFTER CANNON The Methodists of the country are certainly after the scalp of one Joseph Cannon, the man who has shown his power so long to make the lower house of Congress dance to any old tune he cares to play. And the cause of it all is that Joe has been so consistent in his efforts to keep prohibition from prohibiting that for five years he has prevented the passage of any proposed law that would give a prohibition state the right to confiscate shipments of liquor as soon as they crossed the line. The law is one that, together with one stopping the general govern ment from issuing licenses to sell liquor in prohibition territory, should be passed as a matter of just | common honesty. The right or wrong of the principle of prohibition has nothing to do with it. If a state wants prohibition and passes the necessary local laws it should cer tainly have the right to enforce them without interference from the outside. The Methodists are coming near getting into politics, as Uncle Joe probably will find out when votes ■ire counted. To the Farmers’ Industrial Uaioa cf Dallas, Polk Cold y Arkansas. In tompli n :e wiih the r- q ie«i of this u lion, I herewith submit i ■ he follow ing : The Farmers’ Union was or I'aiizid for mutual [ro'ectien One of the great states of this Union has for its motto: "Unit cl we stand, divided we fall." Another true motto is, “Io union there is strength." The great' cable which connects foreign na tions bv the telegraph system ii composed of many small copper wires entwrned arcuad each other, which by its ni3ny separa'emem bers insures greater strength. Hie strength is not depending upon one individual rod, but a mass of copper wires, to resist ihe gnawing effect of the briney letp. The great c b e is sunk oenenth the turbulent waves timing the great monsters of the sea. N » shark can interfere with its action. Cotnmui ications pass and repass undisturord. The Farmers’ Union is a par allel cab e. Each member rep resents a wire. Every number should be of that kind of material which will resist the turbulent elements of mankind. They should be so entwiiml togetht r as to resist the greed of land ! sharks of today. The farmer finds himself individually unabl to defend himself against tlu ’ quadrupeds of the land with their quadrupled schemes. The farm er was simply a servant to pro duce material on which the gam bler and speculator stood bet ween ; the producer anil consumer. Tbe^ farmer must take what tbcspecu-l ~. ' ' I lator offered and the consumer must pay what the ShyL-ck* de manded. The good book says: “By the sweat of thy face theu dialt eat bread until thou return to the ground.” The speculator aays we won’t obey the mandate. The Farmcis’ Union is acting an the side of the Lord and would invoke His blessing on well doing. Our motto is that fivety ane should enj ,y the value of his iwn products by a fair exchange For those things which are pro duced by other artisans. The J Farmer is not independent of all! athcr trades, but without the products of the ground all other enterprises must fall. We ire aot arraying c ursclves against any legitimate busines . Our merchants are necessary to the pro^re s of our great civilization. L g titnatc trade and transporta tion are absolutely necessary to make the exchange. Tne press, telegraph and telephone brings all parties in close proximity with each other. I soon look to see the air navigator bid farewell to tne r'gbt of way. The telegraph wi 1 soon take down the wires l\o‘. Edison has made it possible For all tlij people in the world to hear the same sermon preacl e ’ it the same hour, but they will r. member that all must c.ose w.ien the farm r lails to maKe mother earth b:i.ig forth. There are some things which the farmer must consider for him self; there are $ome products of the farm which, irnm its nature, is perishable. Supply and de mand must govern the market. If the supply is too great the price falls. The bucket shop speculator keeps his hands i ff. He cannot cover the market. Nature intervenes and it is re stored to the great laboratory from whence it came. The only remedy is the cinning factory. Every farm sh( uld be provided, either individually or collectively, and have everything that is valu able. The cannery is as a safety valve to a steam boiler. Every peach, tomato, bean, pea, berry, and even sweet potatoes can be savtd and sold at a renumerative price. We should feel proud of standing at the head of the pro cession, offering all the good things to eat. to those who havr their shoulders to the great wluels of progress, but with a concert of action the drones of society will be stung out of their hives. R. Osborn. More of Pipkin Case. Mena, Ark., Aug. 15. Iu The Star ot August 11, 1 sec a short article from one J. R. Neal taking issue with a former article of mine. Mr. Neal starts oat by making a confessit n and an asserti-n. He says he docs not know uch about the case. Then, .Mr. Neal, why do you want to take the matter up? Why don’t you leave the matter to some one that does know some thing about the case? lie says I have gone beyond my jurisdiction. Mr. Neal, where does my jurisdiction cease? I don’t think 1 asserted that the governor did not have the right o grant the pardon; but you, b - .lg inconsistent, tell me bscause l denounce the acts as usjustified a id want to speak out in defense of tny fiiends and country, that I have gone beyond tny jurisdic tion. li I have gone beyond my juri'diciion, and you will show me beyond a reasonable ioubt where my jurisdiction ceases, 1 am willing to retreat back to that line. “Why do I take so much inter est i.i the matter?” B cause I feel that rights and privileges and protection have been taken from us and an insult has been thrown in our faces by telling us i hat we, as citizens, are not worth as much to Arkansas as convicts. As for me accusing the citizens of .Mena in helpiog in this case, I think it is a mistake. I did ac cuse a citizen, ami I do now ac cuse a citizen of aiding in this matter, and I think I have plenty of pi oof. I want to say right here that I don’t blame Ike for ; ccej ting his pardon. My com plaint is that the governor should grant it under the plea that he made. As to the evidence in the case: 1 never rmde any mention of it then, no will I now, I don’t think it -t to impose on The Star ui 1 i,s readers in any such way. I just want to say tu«t the evident was given more tliuti two vears ago before twelve pick ed men of Polk county and they said that the party was guilt) and fixed the time of servitude, and the officii! board and the governor and Mr. Neal says those men and the court did not know what they were doiug, and set aside all of our rights and privi leges. Now, Mr. Neal, show me that it is a meritorious act and that a citizen of Mena did not aid ic this matter, and I am willing to tilt the hat, Dow the head, and bend the knee if necessity, anc get back into my jurisdiction. VV. I). Durham. More About Razorback Hogs. To the Editor of 'the Star. I notice in a recent number of your paper an article on razorback hogs, written by a friend to that class of animals and against a hog law. He says he lived twenty years under a hog law. If he did he saw better hogs at one-half the cost of meat grown by letting razorbacks run at large. Now this is from experience. I was born where there was a hog law and every farmer in the country tried to get the best stock. I am going to tell you of some facts in hog raising that I can prove and will furnish anybody with the name of the party, if he doubts my word. This party had put up in a lot, not a pen, a bunch of Duroc Jerseys. He fed them slowly until (i months old, then fed them all they would eat and at 10 months killed them. When dressed they netted him 247 pounds each. The amount of corn consumed by each hog was thirteen Can you do that with razorbacks? Not on your life. They must be at j least one year old before they are ; fit to put in a pen. I have fourteen head of razor , backs, some 3 years old and some yearlings. If there is one of them I now that will weigh 100 pounds I will give the bunch away, and I have slopped my hogs every day. They have destroyed one-haif acre of potatoes just as they were ready to dig and four rows of sweet po | tatoes. Now the potatoes, dogs lit takes to get them out when they get in and shotgun shells, will make those lings cost me more than Poland Chinas fed on $1-50 corn. Further more that man never saw Illinois or Oklahoma corn sell at 15 cents a bushel. If less people in Polk county would try to raise corn by sitting on their front porches instead of getting out in the field they would have corn to fatten their hogs on and would not make their neighbors get out and repair fences all the time. Yes, my fence is had, so are my dogs and gun for razorback hogs. When I came part of the crop was planted on my place and I had no | time and could not get help to fence, | but I have protected a part of my | crop. I consider this one of the greatest drawbacks to this country. There ! would be more land cleared and fenced if it were not a fact you al : most have to build a solid fence or run and tell your neighbor to put up his hogs. Now I am not in favor of a general stock law, but I am in favor of a hog and sheep law and I have talked with lots of peuple and they are of the same mind. Just let it come to a vote and that win ten tue siury in onurt notice. I want to call your attention to one deal that went through the other day. A man bought four head of hogs two years old past and three pigs for the small sum of $5. What do you think of that for a hog price? Are you still in favor of j razorback hogs ? 1 will close hoping this will be in voted on this fall. Yours truly, W. A. Miller. Wickes, Aug. 17, 1908. Test of Pure Water. People not infrequently come home from a rummer vacation, if not with typhoid, at least with bad malaria or stomach disorders. This is often caused by impure water, and it is well, especially in going into the country, where wells are used, to know a few simple tests by which the condition of the water can be told. About the simplest is one that is well known, called the Hirsch test. Buy a pint bottle of clear glass, preferably with a glass stopper. Fill it two-thirds full with water, to which is added a half teaspoonful of ; granulated sugar. Cork the bottle tightly and stand :n the light in a warm room for | forty-eight hours. If at the end of i that time the water is cloudy or 1 fiilky-looking, it is unlit for use. Harriraau Raiicnalistn. F II. 'larrhuansays whjtt isneed d •, ’Co-operation and rational i iti ” Gould agrees with him, un-. doubtedly, and probably wishes he had been practicing as well as ^reaching the idea. ‘‘A better j mderatanding between the railroads; tnd the people;” ‘‘fewer and better aws;” “co-operation and rational ism,” when they become mere slo jons for fooling the people, appeal to those who think and reason, just: is a sumptuous feast appeals to the ; ■ni-sionary in the hands of cannibals j who feed him well that he may be palatable when they are ready to ievour him. Alexander, believing th it he had conquered the whole world, wept because there were no more for him to conquer; and Har riman is now looking around for more railroads to put under one-man control and co-operation, from his standpoint, means the building of more railroads with other people’s money; and rationalism, a govern- j ment that will permit him to steal them and continue robbing the peo ple without hindrance.—Farm and Ranch. _ EVE’S EPIGRAMS. (New York Telegram.) A florist naturallv sees some good in every blooming thing. “Halting rhyme,” maybe, is when the poetic feet don’t match. A truly sharp person knows that j cutting remarks do not pay. Much that is catalogued as clever- j ness is merely heart run to head. Sometimes the winds of doctrine j blow the flame of true religion out. 1 The quietest conversation these i days feels like a heated argument. At least a deaf man can’t keep on hearing those same old stories. A lie by any other name isn’t nearly so liabie to precipitate hos tilities. _ BITS OF EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY (Atchison Globe.) It is the man who becomes discour aged who gets left. A man abuses his stomach more than he does his enemies. If you could hear what people say about you, you wouldn’t be conceited. A man has his clothes made to fit him; a woman makes herself fit her clothes. The man who gives a great deal of pity, is usually conspicuous forgiv in* little else. Ambition with some men is lazi ness; they have an ambition to live without work. Praising a man has a tendency to make him believe that he amounts to enough already. About one-third of a man’s life is spent asking questions that never should have been asked. It is often cheaper to be imposed upon than it is to fight: this fact re sults in many unfair men. Wl en a man really loves his wife, is it because he is a good man, or because his wife deserves it. Get a man to tell you his troubles and he will begin by saying that every one imposes upon him. One of the greatest ambitions a man can have is to have a horror of making his friends trouble. Ask any book agent or peddler who sent h'm to you, and you will find it is one of your best friends. When a man tells a girl he isn’t worthy of her, he doesn't mean it, as she finds out after they are mar ried. You are what the opinion of your neighbors make you, but by your own conduct you make their opin ions. The best girl in the world is the one who remembers that her mother is a human being, and sometimes gets tired. Don’t despise the ignorant man. If it were not for him the smart peo ple would not have a chance to show how much they know. Every young man fesls as though he had received a cold shower bath when his best girl asks him how much he gets a month. ‘‘A woman’s fault? may not be as bad as a man’s,” we heard a man say today, ”but they are quite as trying to him as his are to her.” The trouble in a family is called a skeleton, but is usually some awfully alive flesh and blood person with no p.-os-pect of becoming a skeleton. Some men are naturally med dlesome, and do not know it. Look yourself over: do you butt in and make yourself unnecessary enemies? A a rule, a man who has a mous tache he can twist, or whiskers he an stroke, is three times as long in making up his mind as a man who hasn’t. If you are anxious to know how much your friends will miss you when you are dead, leave town for a few months; when you return no one will know you have been away. When a man springs a scheme on you, spring one hack. It is your only defense. The only way to sub due the man who is st-l!ing chances on a music box, is to offer tickets in a raffle for a shotgun. When two men have been poor together, and one begins to prosper, the poor man complains that the rich man treats him “differently ” but in nine times ir: ten it is the poor man who started the differ ence. There should be a word between a pessimist and optomist. Things were not ordered for the best, and they were not ordered for the worst but they were ordered, and no amount of hope or despondency can alter them a particle.

Sacramento, Cal., Aug. 16. The ro mance of Edith Ludwig, formerly ot Morris, 111., but lately of Palo Alto, a nl Prof. Fred P. Fitzgerald of Stan ford university had a happy climax in this city Friday evening when Miss Ludwig arrived from the east on the Overland train and was Joined by Prof Fitzgerald to whom she was a few minutes afterward married, tbps overcoming maternal objections. 1 he fellow passengers of Miss Ludwig had learned her story and she left the trnin in a shower of rice and good wishes. Prof. Fitzgerald was waiting at the station and Immediately he went to the county clerk's office where a 11 cense was obtained. Accompanied by a few friends the contracting parties went to the Central M. E. church where they were united by Rev. Dr. Rodda. Doth refused to talk to news paper reporters after the ceremonr. They left Friday night for Palo Alto, their future home. The love story of Miss Ludwig and Prof. Fitzgerald is an Interesting one. Their troth was plighted some time a o and in a few days Prof. Fitz gerald went east for the marriage ceremony. To his surprise when he reached Morris his ortde had been taken away by her mother and Prof. Fitzgerald was unable to communi cate with her. After remaining in Oh.cago a short while he disappoint edly returned to Palo Alto. Although the mother objected to the marriage the father of Miss Ludwig did not and when Prof. Fitzgerald re turned to Palo Alto he was warmly crecied by the father who said: •'It's all right, don't worry.” and ie handed the professor a telegram rom his daughter telling him that she had eluded her mother and to notify Fred” that she was coming from Chl ■ago.

Topeka, Aug. 15.—The wheat ex ploited in the current issue of the Saturday Evenihg Post as producing more than 200 bushels an acre is no hing more than what Is known as the Egyptian, seven-headed or mummy wheat, according to the Information given out by the Colorado experiment station and published in the Kansas Farmer Friday. The wheat is a soft spring wheat and is undesirable for milling, says the Farmer, and It Is not a good crop wherever there Is any wind, as the grain blows out of the head very eas ily. The Kansas Farmer was one of the papers to which the same article that appears in the Post was sent, and turned down as a "nature fake," The wheat is being offered at $5.00 a pound, or $300 a bushel and the Farmer warns its readers not to be taken In by the story. Prof. A. M. Teneyck of the Kansas Agricultural college experiment station asked for some ef the wheat to be used on the experiment station farm, but it was refused, saying that further experi ments were not necessary, as the worth of the wheat had already been proved.

BERKMAN LED ONE BAND 0FUNEMFUTE9 The Police Dispersed His “Army" Later a Memorial from the Unem! ployed Was Presented to the Cotv gress—Clews Says $8,000,000,000 Are in Sight for Farmers. New York, Aug. 16.—Two rival "armies” descended upon the meeting of the Commercial Travelers' inter State Prosperity congress here Prj' day. First came grim looking men under the leadership of Alexander Berkman, professed anarchist who some years ago shot H. C. Frick, the millionaire, after the Homestead Steel strike riots. It was necessary for the police to dispel the "army” and Berk man angrily reproached the follower! as a "lot of spineless, drivelling Idiots,” for not opposing the police* Berkman and his followers said that they represented 40,000 unemployed working men. The second “army'' was composed of determined stiffra gett.es. They also demanded recogni tion by the prosperity congress. After Berkman and his follower* had been dispersed, a committee nf unemployed asked that a resolution it had prepared be presented. It was accepted but not presented to the congress. It stated that while there was a demand for workingmen in the western states the men had been oot of work so long they did not have clothing or tools or money for Iran? portation to the waiting, positions. The resolutions was free from bitter language and stated that the authors of it were in thorough sympathy with the prosperity movement. Acting Mayor McGowan of this city welcomed the participants in the meet ing. Herman A. Metz, comptroller of New York City, was a speaker. C. VV. Rice, former past supreme eoun cillor of the United Commercial Travelers of America, and H. 0. Gray president of the Travelers’ Protective association, responded to »he welcome At the afternoon session Henry Clews, the New York hanker, spoke on the financial situation. He i|id that the combined value of the crops this year would be about JS.OOO.Oftfl, 000. "That means." he added, "that the farmers will have money to burn this fall." Other speakers were E. C. Simmons of St. Uouis. president of the National Prosperity association, and A. H Eastmond of this city, nefore the ses sion adjourned the committee on res olutions reported, and It was learned that recognition had been given the "committee of unemployed.” The committee deplored the fact that so many men were out of work. The resolutions say, in conclusion; "We are in favor of any measure which will give employment to the unemployed and will start the wheels of every manufacturing plant in America and we further pledge our selves to the sale of American made goods." A mass meeting of the unemployed to be held in Union 8qtiare Sunday af ternoon to protest against the reports of prosperity was announced Friday by the propaganda league of the In dustrial Workers of the World. The meeting was called by John J. Cooke who declared that the alleged pros perity is a grandiloquent bombast. Roger <J. Mills Not So Well.
