DiED az his nOlnt IN IAN Buren Tues
day evening at six o clock, after brief
illness, Mr.. John Hinkle, aged "a wears
z months and % days.
In the death OF Mr.. Hinkle one of the
pioneers of Van Buren has passed away.
Born in Tennessee April 3, 1928, his
parents, when he was but six wears old
moved to Carroll county, Ark. and in
1874 to Crawford county. During 1874
they farmed on what was known as the
Hanger place, and in 1S45 moved to
Van Buren, where the father and sons
opened a stock Of goods and engaged in
mercantile pursuits, in which they con-
tinued up to the time of their death.
Mr.. Hinkle had five brothers, all of
whom he survived, and three sisters,
only one of whom, Mrs. Mary Lassiter,
survives him. He died bachelor.
Mr Hinkle was one of the solid men
OF the community, being possessed of
valuable city and farming properties,
and was noted for his peculiarities
But, while close in his business affairs
he was scrupulously honest and his
purse was ever open to assist the deserv-
ing. His character was without a
blemish.
In the early days, in partnership with
his brothers, Mr. Hinkle conducted one
of the largest mercantile establishments
in Van Buren. During one of the Fed
eral raids during the war their store
was plundered and the building used as
a hospital After the war they resumed
business and continued in it up to the
time of their death.
The funeral services were conducted
at the family residence by the Rev. G.
S. Bass and interment was had in Fair
view cemetery under auspices Of F &
A. M. Lodge No. 8, of which he had
been consistent member during his
entire manhood,

A LONG WAY OFF
TAFrS OPINION AS TO FILIPINO
CITIZENSHIP.
No Use to Discuss 1t the Present Time What
Cannot Be Properly Thought Of for
Two or Three Generations Great
Work Ahead for This Country To Do In
Getting Them Ready.

Washington, Feb. 17.-At the session
of the Senate Philippine Commission
Governor TAFT was asked:
"What is your opinion on the question
of making the Philippines an integral
part of the United States?"
THE condition of the people of the
islands today" replied Governor Taft,
"is such that the extension of constitu-
tionai rights now would interfere very
much with the question of establishing
stable and successful government. A
government ought to be established
under American guidance, under which
the Filipinos should gradually improve
their knowledge of what individual
liberty is and what a constitutional
government is, and subsequently the
time will come when the United States
and the Filipinos together can agree
upon what their relationship shall be.
whether it shall be a quasi-inde-
pendent colony, as Australia and Cana
da are to England, or az q state in the
Union, is q question 80 far in the future
and 80 dependent on the success of the
operation of the stable government now,
that have not myself reached any con-
clusion on the subject"
"You think, then, that it is an open
question whether Filipinos should be adj
mitted to the full rights of American
citizenship" asked Mr.. Mccormack.
"That is question:" replied the Gov.
ernor, (which l would not answer two
or three generations before it arises. i
think the great evil today is the discus
sion of something utterly impossible of
settlement today.
eff ever was convinced of anything
in my life," continued the governor ear
nestly, sit is the problem the United
States has to face in the Philippines is a
great problem, worthy of solution, and
when it is solved by the establishment
of stable government under the guild
ance of the United States, it will rebound
to the benefit and honor of this country,
and l am proud to have to do with this
work -
