GROWING CANTALOUPES.

The Van Buren Venture is au- thority for the statement that the horticultural society of that place has ordered 800 pounds of canta- loupe seed, 300 of which has been shipped, and that the society pro- poses to plant 500 acres into these melons.
 The prospects for scarcity of fruit this coming season, notably peaches, will cause cantaloupes to be in great demand and find ready sale, yet it would seem that our Van Buren friends are in danger of overdoing the matter in plant ing 500 acres the first year.
 As cantaloupes grown in this section can be gotten into market eight or ten days ahead of those grown at Van Buren, it would seem that our people would do we'll to plant a reasonable acreage enough to enable them to ship in carload lots. We are assured that if sufficient amounts can be grown at this and other points along the road, a fast freight train will be put on to take this fruit to thc markets.

THE DEMOCRATIC TIcKET.

The city ticket nominated Sat urday is composed of very fair representative men of the Demo. cratic party and of the business men of Mcna. Were it not that it is distinctively partisan ticket, one, that if elected will be domi- hated by the Democratic party and its bosses in much the same way that the present administration has been, the people could settle down, offer no opposition and permit it to assume authority by unanimous vote.
 The facts are. however, that the hungry ones of the Democratic party not in office have been watching the fat pickings of those in office, and, hoping to get in themselves, have called the attcn- ton of the public to the short comings and unlawful acts of their partisan friends now in office. The candidates seeking votes whereby to secure places on the Democratic ticket have called attention to the fact that public moneys have been used to enhance the value of pri- vate properties, streets bought at public expense for the benefit of a few, money paid out without au- thority of law and no financial statements published, and these facts bruted abroad among the voters from ear to ear, have caused the people to determine to place another ticket Tn the field and cali a halt to such partisan maladministration of our munich pal affairs.

pubic funds where it will cause the enhancement of the value of their private properties; they will pay out the public moneys without the warrant or authority of law; they will neglect or refuse to make reports of the receipts and ex- penditures of the the public funds and in divers ways pose as mas ters rather than servants of the people. all of which they would not dare to do did they not feel secure behind the battlements of their party. deemed by them in vincible when attacked by others. For these reasons it is never wise for the people to settle down and let one party run things. In fact partisan politics should be elimi- mated from municipal affairs and give the people chance to select from their number the best men to serve them.

RIGHT IS RIGHT.

Keferr1ng aga1n to our state nents regarding the evils likely to accrue from one party domi- hating so strongly in a city, we wish 1t distinctly understood that this applies to all political parties as all who have observed can teS- tify.
 In conversation with Council man Scroggins whom there IS no more reliable official or gen. tleman- regarding statements be- ing made upon the streets ,derog- atory to certain officials, he said that s'there was a difference between such being made in that way and in their publication in a paper" While this Is true that there Is a difference, yet we be- lieve that 1t is ten fold better that such things be published, even though a thunder storm be raised, to the end that the truth be known, the atmosphere cleared and justice done all parties.
 Mir. Scroggins then said that he knew that Mayor Whayne paid for the work done on his lot at the corner of Port Arthur ave- nue and Hermann street, and that the bills were not in yet, but he believed that Whayne would pay for the work done on his other Port Arthur property" We are glad to make this statement, be- cause 1t may set a matter right before the public which had be- come quite firmly settled in the minds of the people differently.
 This shows that officials should avoid even the semblence of trying to take advantage of their official position to enhance the value of their private property.
 The Star stands for honesty in public affairs, whether in city. state or nation, and nothing shall swerve us from this course and yet we want to be entirely fair.
 We do not believe that a public office should be a private snap" in any sense and of one thing the people of Mena can rest assured, whoever may be elected mayor Gibbs or Hamilton neither one will use the city team to do any private work on their property.
 In fact, even though the city should be paid for the use of its team, 1t is not good Democratic principles to place a city team in competition with private teams when there are so many here whose owners have to make a liv- ing from the work they can get to do.

 FARM NOTES.

(From the Lockesburg Democrat.)
 Plan your crops this year for a living. Mako everything you need, and let cotton be your sur plus crop.
 Do not run your corn or cotton rows up or down the hill so the land will wash away with every ram. Run you rows as near on a level as possible.
 The time for farm working is here. There is no way to regain time lost. From this time on til crops are "laid by the work will be pressing.

Last Tuesday Neosho, Mo, voted by an overwhelming majori- ty, to own and operate its own water works. The works were built many years ago by a private corporation under franchise and the people have been put to no end of trouble and expense to se- cure proper service, the various controversies resulting finally in a proposition to sell the works to the city. One by one the pro gressive towns of the country are declaring against private corpora tions owning or controlling any of their public utilities.

The result of the effort to fas- ten a fifty-year franchise for street railways upon the city of Chicago recently, shows the sentiment ex- lsting in the minds of the people at thls time regarding franchises. Money by the many millions was being used to bribe the council men to pass the ordinance grant ing the franchise, but the people rallied almost en masse, wearing as badges little pieces of rope, in dicating that there might be some hanging to lamp posts done, and the bill was defeated. The day for granting franchises in the United States has passed.

Democratic bosses boast that their party in Mena is invincible; that no0matter what the sins of commission or of omission of the present Democratic admins tration may have been, they can and will ride right over this mu- nicipalty with their band wagon and install another partisan ad- ministration. For these reasons it would be wise for the people, regardless of party, to assemble tonight and put out another ticket, in fact, not to do so under these circumstances would be un- wise, unpolitic and cowardly.

For long time the Democratic papers of the country have de nounced the methods of Speaker Reed in congress as being arbitra- ry and dictatorial, but now it ap- pears that many Republican pa pers are joining in the cry and demanding that he be deposed from his exalted position. The reason for this is found in the fact that Reed has had the hardihood to antagonize Mir. Mckinley and some administration policies.
