DAVIS AND EAGLE,

If there is such strained relation ex-
sting between Gov. Davis and eX-Gov.
Eagle that the two cannot act in harmony
for the best interests of Arkansas as mem
bers of the State capital board of commis-
sioners, the resignation 'of Gov. Eagle
would subserve public benefit. Still for
safe, reliable and prudent man, man OF
answering integrity and sound judgement,
we know not where TO look for him In Ark
ansas if James p. Eagle is not such. 1t is
to be regretted that such personalities
should creep into the commission as to in
any sense Illustrate it's work or divert its
purposes to see that Arkansas has a sub
stantal and credtable state house.
AS to the motives that have prom pied
GOV, Davis to adopt the extreme measures
employed to GUST ex-Gov. Eagle from the
commission, there are perhaps other and
more potent reasons than those annocnced
by the governor in his letter of excom-
munication. Perhaps there are reasons
known only to the governor and those
Immediately and intimately associated
with him that are within themselves sutf-
cient to justify the step taken.
During the campaign the fight on Gov.
Davis was an exceedingly personal and
bitter one. He was accused OF the grossest
immortality and it was expected that men
like Gov. Eagle, who stood high in the
church would come to his rescue, but they
did not, and piqued by this and other evil
dences of Indifference to his personal
character on the part Of those whom be
felt should defend it. Gov. Davis no
doubt keenly feels the sting of the poison
arrows of contumely hurled at him during
the campaign, and which might have been
warded off by some OF his fellow-church-
men, high ia the councils Of the church,
had they shown in him the friendly and
brotherly interest which he had right to
expect.
When the State Baptist convention was
ia session in Parag Guild last November it
was Gov. Eagle, president OF the conven-
ton, who introduced Gov. Davis and
spoke words OF praise of him. 1t was Gov.
Eagle who commended him for the vice.
presidency OF the convention and it was
GOV. Eagle who extended the warm hand
fraternal fellowship to Gov. Davis on
this occasion.
Then the question arises why should
Gov. Eagle assume an latitude of chilly
indifference and even of pronounced |
hostility toward Gov. Davis when the
veaomous darts of political hate and
malevolence were being hurled at him
from every quarter, with the Arkansas
Democrat grinding out it's interminable
and inexhaustible malestIom OF personal
utilization and abuse! Why could not
Gov. Eagle then extend the hand OF
brotherly love and stay the ravages OF the
storm? Rather did Gov. Eagle add to it's
fury by course as surprising as it was
humiliating to the friends and supporters
