Standardized Turner chartered special
Pullman coach and on Monday started for
the national capital in the company of a
congenal party Of friends. This mode
of travelling is hardly democratic enough
to please the average popuist mind. An
immigrant ticket or even the brake-beam
would more fully meet their frugal views,
but they should remember that Turner,
like Patrick Henry Winston, while one
of the Common people" in precept is
thoroughly aristoCratic in practice.

One million five hundred thou slnd bushels of wheat makes a good dcai of bread and that is the amount which Commissioner of Agriculture ". G. Vincenhellcr says Arkansas has raised this year It is the largest crop we have ever raised, but still is not half what we ought 10 raise. Wheat grows rea- sonably well here and if we would raise more of it we would be better off. We ought to raise our own meat and bread at home--must do it in fact if we would be independ- ent and prosperous. It would not only be best for us from an eco. nomical stand point, but would be the means of retaining the fertility of our lands. The old cotton and corn plan is rapidly wearing ont our lands. We need rotation of apprehension Times.

Good citizens are not anxious 10

Good citizens are not anxious to serve on the county board of equalization. The truth is, the work of these boards IS generally unsatisfactory. The members have only a limited time in which to perform their duties; and it is not the custom to make u thorough ex- amlnation of the assessors books. Of course the most fragrant cases of unfair assessments may be cor rected, but there is often complaint at the proceedings had by the board, and county judges are call cd upon to set aside the boards action. Considering all these facts, it is no wonder that the places on equalization boards are not eagerly sought after.-Arkan- sas Democrat.
