TO Little Rock to consult with Hon.
Carroll Armstrong, chairman OF the
committee, and Hon, Gray Carroll,
secretary, on the question of calling II
meeting of the central committee to
recommend u time of holding primaries
for State Offices. Mr.. Scott is in favor
of calling an early meeting in order
that early primaries and conventions
may be held Many of the counties
have already called early Primaries for
county offices, and where two are held
the vote will be greatly decreased, MS
has been shown by past experience

gloomy view of the future outlook.
He says that strikes and destitution
will result f'om the late election and
that the trusts will rule the land with
an iron hand. Mr.. Debs may be a
prophet, but he will have hard time
convincing the mass of people in free
America of that fact, This country of

ruled to ruinatinn by trusts or com.

The investigation of the death Of
Cadet Booze, after being hazed by hi,
schoUlmates at West Point, shows a
rather bad state of affairs. To the
cadets Booze was a coward because he
would not indulge in disgraceful
pngilistic encounter with scienced
athlete, and in consequence be was
hazed and died from the effects of the
cowardly treatment. Just what con.
stitnted heroism in the eyes of these
youths has not yet developed, but it is
sure to be anything but the popular
idea of the heroic. The commander of
West Point dubbed Buoze coward
and stated that The in.titution was es-
tabli-hed to train fighters, not towards.
The majority of our q eat heroes would
have considered it ungenilemanly to
engage in fist fight with fellow
student or anyone else, but the com
mandant now puts the brand of his
approval on these disgraceful exhi.

There's a tremendous demand for
cents. The Philadelphia mint has
never experienced anything like it
hitherto. 1t has all its coming presses
working overtime, trying TO keep up
with the calls for the coin of the small

out 100000 cents day, and by running
in the night time it is expected that
this minting establishment will break
the record by turning out a million a
day. There are millions and millions
OF dollars worth of gold aud silver
stored in the vault of the mint. So
much of 1t, in fact, that it l. nuisance

were intolerable. 1t appears that times
