TELL THE PEOPLE WHY.

Will Clarke, Davis and their followers tell the people of Arkan. sas why they did not expose the so' called shaky record of Senator
 Jones years ago? The man whc knows about the evil doings oi another and keeps the facts con, cealed from the public until he car use them to his own political ad- vancement is not man in whom the people can place their conf dence. Such a man Is worse by far than the wrong doer himsel f. The public welfare is a matter about which he is not deeply con- cerned and it will be given his at tentIon and protection only when it is to his individual interest to look after 1t. Clarke has known Senator Jones for quarter of a century. He is familiar with the Senator's entire public career, and if thai career Is so checkered what reason can MT. Clarke assign for withholding from the public so much valuable information? If l know that my neighbors are planning to rob Ouachita Valley Bank, and l withhold that information until af- ter the bank has been robbed, am l not as guilty as the robbers them selves? In like manner, if Sena- tor Jones career is so full of wrong doings and Clarke has withheld his knowledge of these wrong doings from the public for so many years.
 is he not as guilty as Jones? If Jones deserves condemnation and
 defeat, does not Clarke deserve the same fate? It seems to us that the course pursued by NIT. Clarke and
 his coadjutors leave uncovered
 three unprotected points on
 Clark's side of the contention,
 either of which should disqualify him for the high position to which
The Monticellonian., 1902-02-21

he aspires. If Jones public or private record is really bad and Clarke has lived through all these years in ignorance of the fact, then he is incapable of representing Ar kansas in the Unites States Senate i; If Jones private or public record is bad, and Clarke has intentionally concealed it from the public until he could use 1t in advancing his own political interest, then he has acted in bad faith with the people and justly deserves both defeat and the severest censure; if Jones private and public record is not bad (which is true) and Clarke has au- thorized the circulation of slander- ous reports touching the good name of Senator Jones, then Clarke, Davis and the whole gang of malingers deserve such an over whelming defeat as will teach them and all succeeding genera tions of political caluminators that the people of Arkansas have forev- CT closed their voting precincts against that class of politicians Ark.

BEGIN FLOWING NOW.
To Save The Deposit of Nitrogen By
 Shows.

From Pine Bluff Graphic.
 The freeze is about over. Now is the time for farmers to work. Start blows as soon as possible and keep them running whenever pos sible. The snow and sleet has de posted vast amount of nitrogen on the land that will be diisipated by evaporation unless it is incor- porated with the soil by timely blowing. Every acre of land plowed during the next two weeks will save an abundance of nitrogen to insure fine crops, with proper cultivation.
 The first crop planted should be oats. Break the land we'll, sow the oats on the broken land and harrow in well. Don't blow oats in in the spring. If you do one half of them will be covered too deep to germinate promptly. Sow two bushels to the acre on good land and you will be reasonably sure of good crop, ready to har- vest by June |.
 The garden should receive atten- tion. Potatoes, onions, peas, beets, mustard, turnips, and all other hardy vegetables should be plant ed as soon as the frost is out of the ground. A good garden will re- duce the purchases of supplies full ly one-half. The old adage, 'hog and hominy," applies no longer to the intelligent farmer. He realiz- es the necessity of vegetables to make a balanced ration for the hu- man system, whereby health is promoted and life prolonged.
 Land should be broken for the corn crop. This will conserve the moisture as well as the fertilizing clements in the soil. Ridge the corn land just before planting. Harrow well and plant as soon as danger of frost is past. The earl fer a stand of corn can be obtained the surer a good yield will be as sured.
 Cotton land should be center fur rowed and listed. It should re- main in this condition until just be- fore planting time, when the beds should be completed, thoroughly narrowed and the seed planted. Cotton should be planted on stiff land from 10 days to two weeks be- fore 1t is planted on sandy land. Sandy land should not be planted before April 18th. If planted be- fore then 1t Is liable to die out to such an extent that stand will be lost. Too much attention can, not be given to thorough preparation of land for any crop. The univer- sal rule is, "the more thorough the preparation, the less the cultiva- tion." If crops are not to be planted until May or June the land should be plowed three or four times previous to the planting. Then the crops need but little work ing. Only enough to keep the weeds and grass in subjection

ARKANSAS POLITICS.

We see rom the Monticellon- ian, published at Monticello, Ark. which, by the way, is one ofthe neatest and best edited pa pers that visits our office, out side of our N. O. exchanges that our sister State of Arkan- sas, Is now in the throeS of a heated political State campaign. The two opposing candidates for Governor are Gov. Jeff Davis, the present incumbent, and Col. E. w Rector, of Hot Springs. The Monticellonian is a red hot Rector paper and is camping on the trail' of the Hon. Jeff in great style and perforating the anatomy of his Excellency with some well directed shots.
 Col. Rector's father was the war governor of Arkansas and made one of the ablest chiet mag istrates that State ever had. His son, Col. "Jube" Rector, the present candidate, is a chip of of the old block" and one of the most princely of men-command- ing in appearance and of most polished and elegant demeanor We have the honor of personal acquaintance With Col. Rector, formed some years ago at Hot Springs-we bearing to him a letter of introduction from a mutual friend
 We know little of Gov. Jeff Da- wis, but that little leads us to be- lieve that it was rather the mag ic of the name than the merit of the man that swept him into his present exalted position.
 We have no desire to interfere in the politics of our sister State, but We can't help from hoping that our friend, the Monticellon- ian. will win it's fight and sue ceed i'll placing the Hon E. w Rector, in the gubernatoria chair. for we believe he would make a pure, able and forceful executive. ."-Morehouse fLa.l Clarion.
 Feeling tervently grateful to our Louisiana exchange for the good opinion it entertains for the MoNTIcELLoNIAN, we feel doubly so for the splendid tribute it pays to Col. Rector.
 The efforts that we have been making for Col Rector are has ed solely upon the belief that he would make for the State of Ar kansas superior Governor to the one 1t now has; that in the event of his election the State N ould have a Chief Executive that not only it's own people would be proud of, but one, al so, who would command the re snect and admiration of all peo- pie. everywhere, with whom he came incontact. We hope that Col. Rector will win, but wheth- CT he'wiil or not. he and his friends will have the satisfaction of knowing that his campaign was made on the high plane of states manship and deccncy.

MlSIUDGING AMERICAN PUBLIC
 SENTIMENT.

SENTIMENT.
 British Colonial Secretary Che amberlain is either taking things for granted with regard to American sentiments concern ing the war in South Africa or he has assurances from the Unit cd States Government which are utterly at variance with the con- victions entertained and mani fested by the American people.
 In his speech at the Guildhall, wAen the freedom of the city of London was conferred upon him recently, Mir. Chamberlain as- serted that the British Govern ment would not now stoop to answer the charges made by the pro-Boer party in England, inas- much as the war to crush the Boers had the approval of sis ter nations across the seas. This means that the British Co., lonial Secretary wishes English men and the world to believe that the American people are in sympathy with England's war against liberty in South Africa.
 The truth may be, of course, that the Republican party, now in control of this Government, is in hearty accord with the Eng fish attempt to subjugate a brave and lipertv-loving people. There are many indications pointing to the fact, not the least of which was the incident of the United States Bureau of Education being used to send out anti Boer literature issued by an English inrperialist asso- citation. The refusal of this Gov ernment to manifest any slight est sign of sympathy for the two little South African Republics has also doubtless been vastly encouraging to Mir. Chamber lain and the British Govern ment. Possibly, as well, there have been definite assurances given from Washington that the United States Government ap- proves of the war to crush the two Republics and make them English crown colonies.
 But the truth remains that the American people sympathize deeply with the unhappy Boers and would rejoice to see this Government assume a consist ent American attitude toward the two South African Repub- lies. British Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and the English people must not lose sight of this truth. They have apparent ly been misled by a renegade American sentiment They will be unwise to depend upon the views of faithless Americans as constituting American public sentiment. There may come a time when, acting under this misconception, they will discov- CT at bitter cost to themselves that they have been reckoning too wildly upon an American repudiation of the best and noblest truths in the American articles of faith.-Republic.
