honor Of being one Of the Directors.
Invitations we're read from Texar-
kama and Conway, asking the Fed
Grafton to meet with them. After
the reading your correspondent
made a ''little talk" telling them
that twenty thousand people await
ed their coming with fondest hopes
and brightest anticipations. Mrs.
Neil Carruthers, who we all recall
so pleasantly, urged the acceptance
OF the Texarkana invitation. Mrs.
Dale of Arkadelphia, and Mrs. Be
cham of Little Rock, voiced the
sentiment of Mrs. Carothers, and
needless to say the day was ours,
even Conway herself stating that
she would be pleased to be our
guests.
| must make mention of the
paper on the Evolution of the
American Home, by Mrs. Freder-
ick Hanger of Little Rock. | am at
a loss to know what to say. Good,
better, best; laughable, more
laughable, most lsughable; rich,
rare and racy; every line bespeak-
ing her one of the most foremost,
brainy women, not only of Arkan-
sas, but of the Greater" United
States.
Ia the way of entertainments, the
President, Mrs. ]. B. Pillow, gave
an elegant reception Tuesday even
ing, followed Wednesday afternoon
by another of a charming nature by
Mesdames Neal and Reeves. That
evening the Ridge City Club threw
open their beautiful club rooms for
the entertainment of the Fedora
ton. Music, elocution and dancing
we're the features. Mrs. P. A.
Skeen completely won those present
with her brilliant playing. Thurs
day afternoon most delightful
outing by way of boat excursion
on the river was enjoyed, the charm
of this was the novelty to the dele
gates from the riverless cities; but
the spirit of the times had possess
sion of the party, the peals of happy
laughter attesting the good time
every one was having. That. even.
ing the curtain dropped on the clos
ing entertainment, formulated fol
the delight of the visitors. Fra Di
avola was given by the Andrews
Opera Co., and proved in every way
most pleasing,

~ OVERNoR SMITHS veto of the
" bill relating to appeals from the
state board of medical eXamin-
ers VIII arouse the wrath and indig-
nation of the medical profession the
state over. The intent of the bill was
to protect the public to the utmost
from quacks, charlatans and men and
women who assume to heal the sick
without sufficient qualifications. The
state medical board is composed of
physicians in whose ability and sense
of honor the intelligent people of Mon
tana repose the utmost confidence Most
of the members We're appointed to office
by the present governor. Possibly they
may sometimes make mistakes. Being
human they are not fnfalible. Neither
is the supreme court infallible. But
their decisions are.e entitled to the same
respect and confidence as those of the
supreme court. The board should in
fact, constitute medical supreme court.
That their acts can be passed upon by
a jury of laymen who know as much
about medicine as they know about as
tronomy or calculus. is a self-evident
absurdfty. 1t was to remedy this de-
feet in the present law that the bill was
introduced and by an overwhelming ma
jority in each house passed. 1t was one
of the Wisest pieces of legislation en-
acted by the sixth legislative assembly
and the veto of the governor is regret
table. The Standard would ask Gov
ernor Smith as a lawyer what he would
think of a procedure which would per
nit a rejected candidate for admission
his qualifications to a jury of farmers
and merchants.

Pa. fire department rushed
into burning building and rescued
from an agonizng death the young
daughter of one of the victims Of the
fire. The pessimists say this is a de-
generate age, but they are often out
of arguments in support of their prop
osition. In Philadelphia three fremen
recently died in the service of the peo-
pie as certainly and bravely as any
soldier ever died on the field, and at
Shenandoah the chief himself took his
life into his hands in order to save a
little girl. The Phila delphia Inquirer
remarks that incidents like these are
occurring constantly in some part of
the country or another and If there
were nothing else to keep faith in hui
mainly alive they would do it. The
equally heroic deeds of railway men

quickest way to get rid of an obnoxious

have agreed among themselves and
