Within the past year there have
been frictions between some of the
European countries which 100 years
ago would have precipitated bloody
war. The time is passing SLOWLY
but surely when a ruler can plunge
his country into conflict because he
has received a slight or because his
soul lusts for war. In practical
sense, if not an altruistic one, the
world is becoming nearer one broth
erhood of man. The maze Of agree
ments and counter agreements made
between the nations of Europe have
OIL been making for universal peace

The man of muscle may carry q hod, dig ditch, or even man a blow. and have dollar day for his labor, and he is worth every cent of 1t. The man of skill may not have half the strength of the other, but he gets S5 a day, and often more. One works with his hands and legs ana the lumbar muscles; the other works with his mind. The mind is the officer in command, the boss of the job; the muscles are the privates, who come and go as the mind directs. Skill is entitled to more pay than phys ical power, because 1t is higher and rarer function. Applied to farmers, this principle holds good. The plodder labors industriously, but to bad advantage, gathers his corn and cotton and renews the mortgage of last year, for he must have bacon and coffee and sugar and salt and baking aoda and U sack or two of flour, and his crop has barely paid his last years bills. The farmer of skill breeds and sells some fine stock, or he grows marketable fruit and vegetables that bring high prices in their season: or he grows nursery of trees and plants and makes his acres yield o75 to SlOO each. At the end of the season he has surplus which he may utilize in eniarging his business, or lend some of 1t to the plodder at q good rate Of in terest, with good security. The world wants more men oI skill on the farms and every where else. - Farm and Ranch.

A Little Too Far.

Representative Lowering, of Massachusetts, we think has carried the joke just little too far in in troduclng in congress bill pro viding that at the expiration of the term of service of the president of the United States, he shall thereafter, during his natural life, receive a salary of S25, ,0O0 per annum, payable monthly. This would seem the capstone of the monumental pension folly, and we hesitate not to express our. opin- ion that any man fayoring such a measure is unworthy of any posi- tion of trust at the hands of peo- pie who believe in the equality of all men before the law" Fair pay for services performed and nothing for services not performed is the only honest manner of deal ing with public servants. Any other course is absolutely dishon- est, for it is robbing the taxpayers to enrich the tax eaters. There is a tendency in this country to build up privileged class in civil life to be supported by the people, which is as dangerous to republi- can liberty as anarchists.

 The brIde's physician came to her relief and hit upon the phonograph. Acting on his sag- gestion Miss Stone i'll the presence of witnesses spoke these words into the recorder:
 '.I, Nelhe Stone, do take this man. James F. Duncan, to be my lawfully welded husband, for better or for worse, till death do part us"
 The record was then removed, fumigated and taken to the Duncan residence, where the bridegroom and a clergyman did the rest. The marriage is said to be perfe ,tly legal.

 AS a rule, February iu Arkan' sas is d rainy month and many of the roads leading from the towns into the country are at times al- most impossible. Bad roads are not favorable to successful cam paignlng. Many of the candidates will not be able to see their friends in the agricultural dis trictS.
 During the clustering month of March the weather is colder than i'll February and when the mer- cury hoyers near the freezing point the farmer prefers to re main at home and look after the comforts of his family aud stock rather than attend political meet ings and listen to the eloquence of the candidates for office.
 But thls inconvenience will not prevent the farmers from taking an interest in the primary election, They have been flooded with campaign literature for d month or more and in their hours at home they have had every opportuoity to study the political situation n Arkansas. If they are not able t0 make up their minds as to how to vote on March 29 they will have no one to blame but themselves.

BE HONEST WITH THE CUBANS

Following the holding of q rass meeting Tn the interest of reciprocity with the United States the. citizens of Havana formed a procession, marched to the palace occupied by Governor General Wood and there petition ed that official s0r American help to save Cuba from ruin and deso- lation.
 The disaster winch threatens Cuba is one solely the conse~ quence of proscriptive tariff if that burden Is placed on Cuban products. The people of the island must needs look to the American people alone for res cue. The tariff tax witch they fear is being concocted by the United States government. Cuba is forbidden bY Us to make treat ies with any other nation calcu- lated to protect and encourage her trace, agriculture or industry. If we place q high tariff on her products the result wifi he calamitOus.
 On our part, we have solemn.y pledged the national honor that We shall deal fairly and justly with Cuba. The pubic senti- ment of the United States de- mands the fulfilmeut ot this pledge. Violation of the pledge is urged hy certain. special inter ests which will profit from the destruction of Cuban industries. The final decision in the matter rests with the American congress. All the pressure possible to the syndicate masters of the republi- can majority in congress is being brought to bear to impose high tariff on Cuban products. The unhappy outlook at the present moment is that congress will yield to this prt ssure.
 The Havana procession to the gates of the Anlerle;n. governor generals palace, there, to entreat justice at his hands, was pathet- ic historical event. Also will 1t he an ominOus event for Us if we refuse thIs peoples prayer. We cannot do wrong to a weaker pco- pie and escape the penalty. God will not permit the worlds great est free government to sin against the spirit of freedom and net be punished for that sin. What shall be our answer to the prayer of che Cuban people? Just and humane dealing with a weak and helpless natlon holding our prom ise for suck dealing, or high handed oppression in the form of q tyranical taxation fer the turth CT enrichment of American pluto cfats? The decision Tn thls solemn matter is of tremendously greater moment to ourselves than to Cuba. If we wrong that little people, being too mighty for them to resist, we shall pay for tho wrong in disaster and humili- ation as sure as Gods justice pre- yails.-Republie.
