dent Mckinley made one Of the great

President, declaring in favor Of extend

undoubtedly have followed this up by
stronger message this winter, and
would have made great effort to carry
out his recommendations, He Would
probably have succeeded. He had Con-
gress In his control. He had given an
exhibition OF his power.
RECIPROCITY ALREADY DEAD.
Mr.. Mckinley has been dead less than
three months, and reciprocity is dead
also, The voice of the sagacious states
man who had plotted the country to
good times has been forgotten. 1t IS
evident that his policy will be aban-
doned by his party. Mr. Roosevelt Is

have made atroug pleas for such ac-
ton. Had Mr.. Mckinley lived he would
have favored this relief for Cuba, No
one doubts that he would have succeed

succeed or fail will depend not on his
power to smooth Congress the right
way, at the same time holding a strong
hand on the rens, as Mr.. Mckinley

would have done, but on his ability 10
get the support Of the citizens of the
United States on this moral issue.
President Mckinley would have had in
ilucnce IN Congress plus public support.
President Roosevelt will have only the
public support.
Then there is the tariff, which Is in
volyed in the reciprocity question,
II was clear that the late President
was growing TO favor a lowering or
the duties. He would have begun his
campaign in Congress at the session
now near at hand, and he would have
carried his point at the next session.
What will the new President doY The
impression Is that In his message he
will advise the putting aside Of all
tariff discussion for the present In
this he Is following the advice Of Con-
gress individually expressed Thus
Congress is giving advice to itself,
Then as to the upbuilding Of the mer-
chant marine
President Mckinley was not strongly
in favor of the Frye bill Of the last
Congress, but he was an earnest advo-
cate Of government aid 10 American
shipping, and his last speech showed
that he was prepared to take UP the
question and urge II with all his power.
President Roosevelt will bring this
question to the attention Of Congress,
but IL is not n guess to say that there
Will be no ship subsidy legislation at
the coming session Of Congress, That
II a certainty.
These things do not mean that the
new President win fail In his efforts
to complete the Mckinley policy. But
they certainly do mean that President
Roosevelt, coming TO the Presidency
under embarrassing circumstances, UNI
tried In the walks of legislation and
knowing nothing OF the adroit ways OF

This blunt speech, attribuated TO
president Theodore Roosevelt, gives an
index TO his frank, vigorous, uncom-
promising character, Since II was ut
tered, his message to Congress, which
has set all the world to talking, has still
further illustrated the fearlessness Of
his disposition; that new force, new
personality, has entered the domain
of national and international politics,

The following article, taken from the
columns Of the New York Herald, and

Ey-C0v Clarke is endeayoring to get the Legislature to appropriate S60,000 for q very shadowy claim against the State, held by New York bank, and because ex-Gov. Fishbaek showed before the Legislative investi- agting committee that the claim is fraudulent. ex-Gov Clarke attempted to deyour him alive. Glarke's friends delight in posing him as q friend of the people of the State, but the Graph fc begs to remind it's readers that whenever there is fat fee on one side and only the interests of the State on the other, that ex-Gov.poli- tiican-lawyer Clarke is usually on the side where the fee is. And yet there is a crowd boosting Clarke for Jones seat in the Senate. A spit-fre and hot-spur such as Clarke is should not be sent out of his balliwick. Whenever Arkansas wants her name disgraced before the people of the Nation. it will then be the proper time to send Spit-fire Clarke to the United States Senate.

OUT-OF-TOWN PEDDLERS
Should Be Heavily Taxed When They
 Solicit Trade in Pine Bluff.

The Jonesboro City Council has passed an ordinance taxing peddlers or persons offering goods, merchan- disc, jewelry or patent medicines for sale on the streets, from s per day to S75 per week.
 Pine Bluff has a number of good tax laws, but it would not be bad idea for the City Council of this city to pass an ordinance taxing drummers, who are frequent visitors in this city, soliciting orders for suits, shirts and other articles of wear that can be pur- chased from local merchants for cheaper prices and goods that are bet ter. A local merchant in conyersa- tion with a Graphic reporter today said We live here, our money is in. vested in Pine Bluff and we spend our money here and we think ourselves untitled to protection by the city fath- CTS who can stop these men from mak- ing Pine Bluff their headquarters The public should consider that mat ter and not give drummers an au- dience but should tell them that they will dc their duty and patronize home enterprises Home first, last and all the time"
