"WES" CROCKETT.

"Wes" Crockett, who will short
ly enter upon his second tern
as secretary of state, is a thor
oughly capable and reliable Off
cial. There is no man in the
state who can say that he has pro
ven otherwise than faithful to hi
trust.
At the beginning of the las
state campaign Governor Davis
was wont to say that he was made
of the right kind Of stuff and thai
he always stood as firm as the
Crock of Ages" for what he
believed was right. The "Dem-
ocrat" accepts that endorsement
as indicating the kind of a man
we have for secretary Of state,
and in view Of the numerous
times Governor Davis repeated
the statement he is estopped from
any criticism of Mr.. Crockett's 8
purpose or conduct in the man
agement of the affairs OF his
Office. Mr.. Crockett has recently
written the following anent the
state convict farm purchase which
he favored and which the gov
ernor opposed. 1t is addressed
to the Paragould Soliphone and
signed by Mr.. Crockett in due
form. He says:
SIN a late issue of your valued
paper yon comment editorially
upon the recent purchase by the
state penitentiary board of farm
to be used for a convict farm.
You give a caption to your
editorial which is somewhat
misleading. There has never
been any Foolish Wrangling,
among the various members of
the penitentiary board on any
proposition. They have not
always voted with each other,
nor as a unit, but there has never
been any 'wrangling.' When the
board has been savagely and
unwarrantedly attacked by Gov.
Davis for presuming to discharge
their duty as they saw it with the
facts before them and governed
by the solemn obligation imposed
by their oath of office, occasion
ally they presented the facts as
a defense Of their action, and
without seeking to engage in
Foolish Wrangling.' There can
be no 'insubordination' on the
part Of the majority of the men,
bers of the penitentiary board so
long as the law makes them
coequal with him in the discharge
of affairs connected with the
penitentiary. AS a member of
the board he has no rank above
the other members of the same,
but has been respected by the
majority of the board as ono
entitled to his vote and opinion,
which has been accorded him
because he has been a member
of the board, Because the
board does not always do as the

WASHINGTON LETTER


cumstances as those which at
tended the opening of the second
session of the Fifty-seventh cong
ress. With ample republican ma
jorities in both chambers and
republican President in the White
Honse, there is the widest differ
ence of opinion as to prospective
legislation, and even the old time
leaders are divided on some of
the most important questions.
Tariff revision, of course, takes
the lead. Senators and repre-
sentatives from western states
assert that there must be steps
taken in that direction in order
to redeem the pledges on which
the republican victory in their
states was achieved. The east
ern men, on the other hand, say
that there shall be no tariff re-
vision now and they expect to
prevent the calling of congress in
special session for that purpose.
With regard to trust legislation,
some senator's say that there will
be none, and others assert that
the Sherman law will be amended
in accordance with recommenda-
tons of Attorney General Knox,
The policy Of the republicans, as
outlined for your correspondent
by well posted democratic sem
ator, will be to pass such legisla-
ton as Mr.. Knox has requested
and as the President will urge,
at the same time assuring the
trusts that 80 long as they have a
republican administration they
will have nothing to fear from
the Attorney General, but if they
permit the democrats to win there
is no knowing to what extent
democratic Attorney General will
go in order to destroy the trusts.
In this way, said the senator re-
ferred to, the republicans hope to
make of the trust law a club with
which to extort campaign funds
from the trusts in 1904.
AS if to emphasize the evil of
the trust system, the news has
reached Washington to the effect
that J. Pierpont Morgan, in con.
nection with the Barring Bros. of
England, have undertaken to
float bonds to the amount of
S100, 100000 for the newly organ
lied beef trust. Representative
Richardson of Tennessee says the
democrats of the House stand
ready to assist their opponents in
any genuine effort to control the
trusts and that they will give the
republicans no ground to charge |
them with obstructive proceed
ings in case the latter make an
honest attempt to strengthen the
present law or enact a new and
more effectual one.
There was an intermingling OF
congratulations and condolences
in the Capitol when congress
met. Twenty five representa-
tives have failed of reelection
and the condolences extended
them were as numerous as we're
the congratulations offered to the
candidates. On the
democratic side of the House two
desks stood out prominently
Each was draped with crepo and
with flowers in honor of
representatives De Graffenreid
and Sheppard, both of Texas,
who have diei since congress
adjourned last July. On the re-
publican side one desk was SIM
ilarly treated. 1t was that for
merly occupied by the late repre-
sentative Russell of Connecticut.

The recent communication Of
the President, in which he states
his position in regard to the ap-
point nent Of negroes to public
offices, is condemned by MEM
bers OF his own party without
stint. Not that they take issue
with the principles voiced by Mr..
Roosevelt, but because they re-
gard his letter as a needless and
foolish utterance calculated to do
no good and possibly to make
enemies for himself and his par.
ty. "It is Quixotic and l suppose
it is honest, but it is foolish in the
extreme, worthy Of a schoolboy
rather than Of a politician" said
one prominent republican.

| Our dear sweet Minda is dead;
| Up to Heaven her spirit has fed,
Gone back TO God who gave her,
Gone back to Jesus who died to save
her.
Our home is so sad today,
Because our Minda has gone away,
Our hearts are crushed and tull OF
grief.
O. Father, do come to our relief!
Don't let US murmur or complaint,
For we shall meet our child again,
Meet her on the other shore,
Where weeping and parting shall be
no more.
In the beautiful bright forever,
We shall meet no more to sever.
Father, help us TO say Thy Will Be
Done"
Although it tore from ms our darling
one.
Make us submissive to "Thv Wilt"
Our bleeding hearts with Thy Grace
fill.
Help us our Father, alwaps to feel
That earth has no sorrow that Heaven
can't heal,
We shall meet our Minda face to face,
And tears shall no more each other
trace.
God says, What | do thou knowest
not now.
And to thisI our Father, we humblY
bow.
But you shall know when you meet on
high.
You shall know in the "Sweet by-and-
