Ex Gov. Clark is an advocate of protective tariff on lumber but he thinks 1t all right to let the farmers "root hog or die. ' It seems to us that if any one class needs protection more than anotheritis the farmers, and the best way to protect them is to put all commodities on the free list that they have to buy, lum- Der included.

"Governor Davis takes occas- ion to say in all his speeches that Messrs. Clarke's and Nc. Rae's conduct in the Hudson bank claim was nothing more than that of honorable attorneys. He resents any criti- cism of their course. and yet in his own sworn testimony before the legislative committee he de clared that as a lawyer he would not have taken the case against the State because he did not be- lieve the claim a just one He defends Clarke, who maintains on every stump that the claim IS honest and just and ought to be paid. Both Clarke and McRae insist that the claim is an honest one which the legislature should allow, while Davis declares most vehemently that he will veto any bill passed by the legislature making an appropriation for the claim. If Gov. Davis believes the Hudson Bank claim illegal and injust he ought to see that an endorsement of Clarke, who maintains that 1t is honest and just. will be hard to explain to the people. If Clarke receives a popular endorsement, will not that carry with 1t the endorse ment of the bank claim? What would Davis threatened veto amount to if Clarke can con- vince the people that the last legislature was wrong in reject ing the claim and a new legisla- ture should be selected which will adopt his views? To satis fy the people he ought to make Clarke promise that he will nev CT revive the claim and such . promise the ex-Governor will never make. Ark. Democrat.
 Itis pretty safe to assume that if Mir. Clarke has influence enougf to get himself elected to the Sen ate he will have strength enough to have the Legislature provide for the payment of this Bank claim.

C. T. Gotham, Esq, Candidate fo
 State Senator.

At the top of our announcement column, this week, can he seen the announcement of Calvin T. Cot ham, Esq.,, who is candidate for the office of State Senator from the counties of Drew and Desha. Mir. Gotham is well known to many of the voters of Drew coun- ty, having been born and raised in the county, being the oldest son of the late E. R. Gotham, for many years a prominent business man of this city.
 Mir. Calvin Gotham, after re- ceiving public school education here, took courses at Lexington, Va, and at Hendrix College, where he graduated with high hon ors. Afterwards he held the chair of Latin and Greek in Hendrix College for two years, when he was elected Principal of the Mon ticello Schools, which place he held for two terms, voluntarily re- tiring from the position to take a law course at the Law School of the University of Arkansas, from which school he received a diploma and was then examined and lcens- ed to practice law by the Supreme court of the State of Arkansas. Returning to his home in this city, he connected himself with the well-known law firm of Wells X Williamson, and has been actively engaged in the practice of his pro- fession since. Mir. Gotham is about 29 years of age, highly educated and well posted on all current pc litical history. He would make the districta Senator that its whole people would be proud of. We ask the voters to take his claims into consideration and give him such support as he merits.

'The retirement of Col. A. K.

During his long connection with that paper, covering a period of more than a quarter of cen tury, he has contributed his full share to the upbuilding of the press. and has In his own work demonstrated what honest and conscientious effort will do. Colonel Mcclure is a man of splendid ability, and has ever aligned himself on the side of the people. He is thoroughly democratic and has ever preached the doctrines of a pure democracy. There are perhaps few men who have done so much, with their pens, for the south as Colonel Mcclure, whose work in that direction has been gratuitous and without hope of reward, other than the upbuilding and develop ment of a section in which he felt a kindly interest"

AMERICAN TRADE JUST BEGINS

From the London Express
 Some of our commercial optimists in grudgingly admitting the significance of United States export figures, may attempt to console themselves with the forlorn hope that the rate of progress they indi- cate will not be maintained. Their ideas on this point would probably be corrected by even a superficial glance over cur rent United States consular advices and the American technical and trade press. If these accurately reflect the spirit of American manufacturers, of which there can hardly be a question, they show that the recent successful industrial compe- tition of America in Europe has merely had the effect of stimulating American manufacturers to further exertions in the same field. Already some of the denser manufacturing firms in England are pro- fessing themselves weary of the cry of American competition" They will need to strengthen their ears, for the cry is only just beginning

 In all these matters Russia, full of duplicity and defying all rules of dip lomacy, is not deceiving Japan, for Japan knows what is going on in Man churia, and whatever Japan does may be accepted as an indication of the real situation. Japan should have the support of the o.ner powers in her de- mands. If Great Britain should sup port the plucky Japanese the struggle would soon be decided. Russia would simply back out gracefully from Manchuria. and the open door might become a fact. At present any open door anywhere seems distant and pro- blematical, and American diplomacy a cipher.

The claims presented to the state department aggregate $39,000,- 900, the largest claim being that of John W. Broekon, who says his prop erty losses were $2,162,514.
 Under the treaty of Paris each side is required to adjust the claims of it's own citizens growing out of the insur- rection in Cuba.

WHAT CHEAP STEEL HAS DONE,

From Airslee's Magazine
 The production of cheap steel (by Bes- semer open-hearth. crucible and other processes) has not only brought 1t into universal use in the older applications ot iron in the industries. but has encour- aged the development 0. newer necessities until the ingenuity of man is taxed to discover some further use to which it may not be applied From watch spring, so finely drawn as to almost impondera- ble, to a mighty warship, but steel spans 1t as easily as a fairy steps from a sum beam to rosebud, and the tiny spring and the giant ship are one in the material of their being.
 Steel has made possible the skyscraper, that gigantic wonder of modern archi- lecture whose steelly skeleton safely car ries it's garb of stone or brick; it has given us ships of war beside which the wooden walls of the ancients would be as tinsel; 1t has given us ships of commerce that can carry in their holds the entire mer- chant marine of Phoenicia; 1t has given us bridges that stretch their tentacles across all chasms and cling forever; it has given us railways that stand the fric- tion of millions of whirling wheels carry rying their millions of tons of freight and their millions of passengers and show no wear, and at every call of man for q bearer of his mightier burdens steel re- spends and is not found lacking.

 The cultivation of the pecan nut prom ises to run a close second, from the point of profit, to the Georgia peach in the course of a few seasons.
 Extensive nurseries have been estab- lished at Flovilla this State, and large number of the trees have been sold to planters in different sections of the State for the current season. The yield last year was abundant and profitable, and the ease with which the nut Is cultivate has attracted many other growers into the field. The tree, requires little atten- tion during growth and Is much more hardy than the peach tree The soil and climate of the southwestrn part of Geor- gia are peculiarly adapted to its cultiva- tion and comparatively little capital is required to embark in the enterprise
 Up to five years ago the industry was little known, but it has developed rapidly since that time. Those planters that own land suitable to its cultivation are adopt- ing the crop as kind of buffer for the cotton crop. If the latter does not net them anything beyond expenses they will depend on the pecan to supply them with sufficient funds to meet other demands during tbe season. The nurseries are now doing thriving business.
