A CHASTITY CATCH.

Clip Cook, the fisherman, made
a ghastly catch up the river
Monday. While running his
trot line, he pulled it up and dis
covered hanging by its clothes to
a hook some distance ahead Of
him a baby 8 or 4 days old. Clip
was unnerved by the sight and
sank down into the boat. When
he arose and started on toward
his catch, the slip of clothing
which was caught on the hook
gave way and the infant disap-
peared again into the water. He
did not find it again; but upon
his return to town related his ex-
perience. This occurred about
10 miles up the river, near the
mouth of Wolf Bayou. No report
of the accidental drowning of an
infant has come from that region,
and it is supposable that some
mother has resorted to criminal
and tragic means of destroying
the evidence of her Weakness

WASHINGTON LETTER

pefploAeu ihaii III ""0iiAi' o '0ii '"
day than President Roosevelt.
After yielding his own convictions
that the tariff ought to be revised,
and accepting the dictum of
Senator Hanna and his school
of politicians, that the winning
policy for the republican party
was to "stand pat'', after beir 6
assured that if he wanted to be
elected in 1904 he must not
countenance revision, the Presi-
dent is now receiving the assuran-
ces of the western members and
senators that the only hope ofthe
party in their section of the
country, lies in making good
the pledges OF the last campaign,
that the tariff would be "revised
by its friends''. In the hope of
gaining a clearer insight into the
situation the President has
appealed to the members of his
Cabinet and to the republican
leaders. There is no doubt
amongst the eastern members
who all say "stand pat" but
secretary Wilson, for instance,
says his state wants revision.
Representative Babcock insists
on an extra session called for
that purpose exclusively and the
Minnesota delegation say that
they were elected on tariff
reform platform. The same is
true of Idaho and other western
states which were carried for the
republican party only by the
personal popularity of the Presi-
dent and the assurance that he
would insist on a revision of the
tariff which would curtail the
inordinate profits of the trusts.
The argument advanced by the
"stand paters'' is that the
present prosperity cannot last,
that tariff revision will precipitate
the reversal of present conditions
and that if the republican party
is caught in the midst of an
attempt to revise the tariff, which
will be inevitably attended by
endless personal pickering and
strife, the country will administer
a prompt reouke by voting for
their opponents. AS sample of
the kind of advice proffered the
President by his friends was
recently afforded by Senators
Lodge and Burrows. The former
signified his willingness to
ratify the Cuban treaty becuase
it would not injure his con-
tituents who raise neither tobacco
nor beet sugar, but he protested
vigorously against the New
Foundland treaty because it
might hurt some of the fishermen
Of his section. On the other
hand, Senator Burrow expressed
his willingness, to vote for the
New Foundland treaty but
protested against the Cuban
treaty. The fact that the treaty
IS a local issue is again being
demonstrated together with the
fact that no republican is will
ing to sacrifice one cent of
protection to the interest of his
own section for the benefit of the
country at large.
The failure or the last session
to pass the Cuban reciprocity bill
is bearing fruit in way that is
q cause of grave anxiety to the
administration. The Cubans, |
who were last year begging the
United States to grant them some
concessions from the Dingley |
rates, have now been flattered
and cajered into the belief that
they are quite independent of

from sunday Fort Smith Times.
Last Monday the first day of the fair &,
an incident occurred concerning which
only half the story was told. So much
of it as was then known and related
was to the effect that county deputy
constable had lost some money at one
of the gambling or robbing booths, and
had complained so effectively that his
losings had been returned to him The
story from the deputy constable s side
is materially different. Cal Whitson is
the man referred to. He says two
Logan county farmers whom he knows
brought two bales Of cotton each to
town and sold it. The united proceeds
amounted to S276, Of which they were
virtually robbed by the gamblers. They
complained to Constable Whitson who
in order to satisfy himself of the cor
rectness of the story Of the farmers,
went against the game to the extent OF
80 mot $50, as stately and country
preacher, rs years old who accompanied
him tested it $l5 worth 1t was then
that Whitson, displaying his badge Of
Office, demanded Of the sharpers the re-
turn Of the cotton money, S276, his own
80 and the preacher s $l5. Whitson
SAYS he, with Justice Edmondson S aid
stopped three of the most fragrant games
and would have broken all up had not,
as they said, their hands been tied
The whole story puts Constable Whitson
in very different light
For the sake Of making the street fair
a success from a financial standpoint
for the street fair board, that body was
willing to allow all sorts of unlawful
practices, and the officers of the law
were willing to close their eyes and vio-
late their oaths Of Office in allowing
gambling of every kind to go on with
their knowledge. II street fairs must
be run with such disreputable by-plays
the sooner they go out of vogue the
better.
