What Parker Himself Says.

Will n. Zorn, q West Plains news
aner man had an interview with Vice
President Parker of the Rock Island.
"Mr, Parker, is 1t true that youi
company is making q survey of q rail
road that will be built from Holia lnto
north Arkansasf" intorrogated the In
terviewer. ,,
1--WE are having several surveys
made for such line, answered wee
Prssident Parker. There are two
surveying corps ont between Belle. the
western terminus of our Colorado line,
and Rolla, on the main line OF the
Frisco. Then we have two parties out
working south from Rolla. They, are
running preliminary survey IN q direc'
line to the Southwest. / made q trip
over the route from Rolla Saturday.
uWhere do you intend to build-to
Little Rock or Fort Smith,
1--WE are running direct line south
west from Rolla," said Mr.. Parker.
Il goes over some of the roughest cOun'
try | ever saw simply terrible through
which to build a railroad. Now really
| can t tell you where the southern
point of the road will be. =.
It Is said that there will be at least
dozen surveying parties In the field.
working between Belle and Rolla and
on south from that place. 1t Is the In
tention of the Rock Island people to 10
cate the very best route for this line
which is to reach from st. Louis to
connecting point with the Choctaw and
Rock Island lines in Oklahoma and tht
Southwest. 1t is not the local business
along the proposed route that Is beini
considered.

Increasing Power.
From the Little Rock Democrat.

From the Little Rock Democrat
The increase of power as exercised by
prominent officers Is source OF anxiety
to those who believe the common people
have rights that should be respected.
It Is cited that the speaker of the house
In congress Is an autocrat with power
under the rules to throttle any measure
which does not meet with the approval
of his party. This encroachment on the
rights of the members began with
Thomas B. Reed, and has advanced
under each Republican administration.
II is pointed out that the president, by
reason of bis vastly increased patronage,
exercises more power than the trainers
of the constitution ever dreamed would
be placed In his hands. The various
departments of the government have
continuously added more to the appar'
ent Capitalization. But this Is mott he
only source Of complaint. The execu.
tive department of the various states,
or some Of them at least, has shown a
disposition to usurp the powers which
the constitution intended should be ex-
ercised by other departments or by
different departments jointly. 1t Is not
conducive to the welfare of any COM
monwealth for one man to have too
much power. When the people grow
Indifferent to encroachments OF this
character they are in danger.

They think that Senator Jones was

the state convention had no power 10

no authority whatever to change the In.

SOME of the closest observers at the
state capital who have kept tab on the
political occurrences of the past few
wears are not slow to predict that Davis
will find q way. or at least attempt to
do so, to keep himself before the public.
The prediction Is that he will run for q
third term as governor. They argue
that he Is not the man to relinquish an
advantageous position, and, knowing
the prestige which he holds as governor,
he will want to continue in the office
till the time arrives to run for the SEN
ate. OF course, this prediction is a
little far-fetched, but there may be
something in 1t. 1t will be hard indeed
for the governor to step down and out
from a position In which he has striven
to 80 strongly intrench himself. Nc
man in the state knows better than he

utterance on the subject Is as follows
with the passing away OF the dread

throughout the South, the time Is near
at hand when that section will demand
Of its political leaders more than mere
blind adherence to q party name. Men
of trained intellect and breadth OF view

THE senate has passed a bill for the
purchase Of the work already done, and
and the completion Of the Panama canal
by this government. The house early
In the session passed almost unani.
mously a bill for the building OF q canal
over the proposed Nicaragua route.
The two houses have appointed confer
ence committees, and Washington dis.
patches indicate the senate bill will
finally be adopted by the house. The
Panama route has the endorsement OF
the special commission Of the most emil
nent engineers in the country appointed
by President Mckinley to investigate
the practicability Of the two routes, and
naturally this should have much weight
with the national legislature. The bill
passed by the house came up before the
Panama Canal company had reduced
the valuation 1t placed on the property
from something like $50, 900, 900. to
the estimate placed on It by the Walker
commission-$40, 900, 900; therefore
there should be no trouble experienced
IN a reversal from its original stand by
the house. Prospects are bright now
that work on an interoceanic canal will
be In progress before many months

CONGRESS has sat down on President
Roosevelt, and Cuba will not get the
reciprocity in tariff relations the gov
ernment practically promised it. The

Cuba get reciprocal trade relations for
fear it would prove the opening wedge
that would break up our trade exclusion
from other countries of the world.
