Arkansas is still the state of Jones.
There was bitter fight in the Legis-
laturet over the proposition to take
down temporarily the portrait of JEFF
ferson Davis from the hall and hang
that of Bryan in it's place, when Bryan
visited the legislative hall, but the
Davisites won. If Bryan thinks he is
the little tin god on wheels of the
Southern Democracy he is greatly
mistaken. He will do at a pinch to
try and whip out the northern candi-
date with, but as an object of rever-
entail worship and party affection he
is not in it a little bit. Not for Bryan.

1t is a good measure that is now
advocated in the Legislature to label
the goods that are turned out by con-
Wet hands. Then the advocates of
non-convict made goods need not buy
if they do not want to. COnvicts
should be self-supporting and at the
same time it is hard to put the free
labor of the state in competition with
theirs. There is a better way some
where.

\ war in Europe would put the
United States on their pins in one,

supplies this country could furnish.

If Turkey withdraws her troops
from the interior of Crete as demand
ed by the Powers, there is not a doubt
that the Greeks will occupy all the
interior of the island. Then when the
British ships withdraw the Greek
feet will knock daylight out of the
Turks in the coast towns.

The Powers recognize at last that
they are not able to bulldOze Greece,
and according to the law of nations
by which they are governed they have

Powers will try compromise.
