DISAPPOINTMENT IN
CENSUS REPORT
Washington. D. C., Sept. 20.
—The Census Bureau today an
nounced that the population of
Little Rock according to the cen-'
sus of 1910. is 45,941 being an j
increase of 7,034 or 19.9 per
cent as compared with 38.307 in
1900. The census of 1890 gave
the population as 25,974, that of
1900 being an increase of 48.1
per cent.
This announced of the popula.
tion of Little Rock is a great dis. j
appointment to the people oi 1
Little Rock, who had been con
fidently excepting a much larger
figure.
It should be considered, of
course, that the census of 1900
and that of 1890 included also
Argenta. which has since been
separated from Little Rock, but
still it was believed that the pop
ulation of Little Rock itself
would be much larger than the
figure given.
In the complete census report
a footnote will be added about,
the separation of Argenta, but
as the population of Argen a
has not been announced it is im
possible at this time to give the
combined of the two towns. The
population of Argenta is being
variously estimated at from 8,
000 to 15,000—Arkansas Demo,

visited every night for a decade
or more will soon be abolished.

JOHN MITCHELL
ON LIQUOR
I am not at all impressed with
the argument that if you close
down the liquor traffic you bring
about a calamity. When you
shut down a distillery, a factory
takes its place; when you close
up a saloon, a grocery store
takes its place. 1 believe that
in the proportion that the labor
movement grows so will the tem
perance movement grow. Tne
labor movement was not formed
merely for the purpose of get
ting more wages and shorter
hours. If that was all, 1 should
not consider it worth while to
devote my life to it. The pur
pose of the labor movement is to
secure a better standard of liv
ing and to make the lives of
men, women, and children hap
pier and brighter.
MAYOR STARTED
AS A FIREMAN
Texarkana, Sept. 20.—John
P. Kline, who was nominated
for mayor of Texarkana, Ark.,
in yesterday’s Democratic pri
mary, is about 50 years old and
has lived nearly all his life here.
He began life about 30 years
ago as a fireman on an Iron
Mountain locomotive engine be
tween here and Poplar Bluff and
later was promoted to the posi
tion of engineer. About 20
years ago he resigned from rail
road work and started in the
bakery and confectionery busi
ness, in which he is still engag
ed. He has succeeded well in a
business way, and for several
years past has been regarded as
one of the city's best financiers
and most clear-headed busines*
men.
Last spring, during his atv
sence in Washington, D. C.,
where he remained with his
family for several months, he
was put forward by his friends
rs a candidate for alderman in>
the Second ward and was elect
ed, defeating his opponent by a
large majority.
He is thoroughly conversant
with all the affairs of the city,
and it is the generally expressed
hope and belief of business men
and taxpayers that he will be
able in a few months to place
the city on a sound financial
basis despite the present deplet
ed condition of the treasury.
Mr. Kline is a conservative
ant-prohibitionist. His oppon
ent Mr. Rogers, whom he de
featsd in yesterday’s primary, is
a prohibitionist.
Mr. Kline will be formally
elected mayor st a special elec
tion to be held September 2fi,and
will take charge of the office im
mediately thereafter.
E. M. Conklin of Omaha Neb.
has accepted a position with the
Palace barber shop. We wel
come Mr. Conklin to our city
and trust that his sojourn here
will not be limited and will b$
both pleasant and profitable.
I)r. McDaniel o f Bouj?hton
was in the city Wednesday.
Dr. Sutton of Bodcaw was in
town Wednesday on his way to
Little Hock on professional busi
ness.
