EDUCATING AN APE.

",rhe contest began with the utmost
punctilousness, but the first bout was
not over when 1t became evident that the
principals were warming to their work
with more than scientific energy. The
clashing fois struck fire, and the
thrusts were made with n vigor which
would have done credit TO the artful

heat of the duel became more intense
and 1t became evident that it had gone
beyond the bounds OF friendly trial of
skill. Suddenly the plotter who was re.

scream and rushed forward, while the
referee called halt. The hand of Brit

The Population Of Arkansas.

Arkansas was the first state to have
it's population counted by the census
bureau. Its population was found to be
1911, 564, an increase of 1926 per cent in
ten years, or a little less thar the aver
age increase of population throughout
the United States. 1t is one hundred
times the population it had in 1920, for
ty times that it had in 1880, fourteen
times it's population in 1910, six times its
population in 1850, over three times the
population of 1860, almost three times
its population in 1870, and a little over
n and a half times that of 1880. The
percentage of increase from 1890 to 1900
was the smallest Of any decade except
that from 1860 to 1870, during which the
civil war was fought. There are 24.73
persons to the square mile, a density of
population which would give New Mex
leo over two and a half millions of in
habitants. There are only nineteen
towns in Arkansas with a population
of more than 1000, and only five having
a population Of more than 5000, while
Little Rock is the only city in the state
having a population of more than rs, 900.
Arkansas Is a state backward in many
respects, but it's manifold give
promise that it will soon catch I'D with
the other states, and from now on its
city population will probably increase
very rapidly.

Santa Fe Republican County Ticket

Public sentiment in this city must be
aroused Upon the political situation.
Some improper men are endeavoring to
secure nominations on the Republican
ticket for county offices. Should they
succeed it would be a misfortune to the
party and a calamity for the people at
large. Elect delegates to the county
convention who will make nominations
for the Republican party of men who
| will stand by the best interests of the
people. A ticket composed of first-class
material must be placed in the field. If
this be not done, there is grave danger
for the Republican ticket ahead. Get up
and be doing in time. This county
wants no dishonest or bad men in office.
1t has had too much of an experience
Of that kind under Democratic rule, and
does not wish any more under any rule.
The fur will fly if bad men are placed
or the Republican county ticket. The
Republican delegate ticket Is first-class,
and every good citizen, and especially
every good Republican. can work and
vote for it heartily and with a good
will. The legislative and county ticket
must also be composed Of good, clean.
honest and competent men. Such a
ticket will sweep this county by 500 ma
iority.

nation and of the territory, and with a

be given statehood; with Larrazolo

will spend $40, OOO, 900 in a campaign of
"vindication" that will elect him to the

means 5000 per voter. Montana must be

Colonel Bryan's policy of withdraw

the silver mining interests of this coun-

on a stable basis would import most of
it's silver from the United States. Bry-
