 Quite number of the honorary worlds fair commissioners of the coun- ty responded to the call for meeting at Eureka Springs on Thursday of last week, and a permanent organization was effected. c. D. Jones of Eureka Springs was made president; Mrs. Dr. Ramsey of Green Forest, vice president; Mrs. Dr. Lassagne, secretary; Miss Mary Fancher, assistant secretary; F. A. Pickard, Jr., treasurer. The various committees were chosen and everything put in working order. There were six teen honorary commissioners present. It was determined to hold another meet ing soon at which a better turnout is hoped for. The meetings will perhaps be held alternately at Eureka Springs, Berryville and Green Forest. It is the purpose of this organization to promote the interests of the state and Carroll county in particular at the Louisiana i Purchase Exposition at St. Louis in 1905.

Let's Have It at Green Forest.

There will be a convention of the Epworth Leagues of the NJ. E. church of the Harrison district during the month of June, and there is desire on the part of some of the promoters to bring the meeting to Green Forest.
 While we have not consulted our people upon the subject, TIE TRIBUNE feels perfectly safe in extending an urgent invitation to the parties who have the matter in charge to select Green Forest. Our town will certainly extend as royal welcome as can be found any where in the district and being centrally located, it IS desirable place to select.
 This convention would bring together for one day perhaps 800 delegates and the excursion rates would doubtless in- duce many ether visitors to come to our town.
 IKE TRIBUNE's attention was called to this matter by Rev. Stanhope, pastor of the M. E. church of Eureka Springs, who pledges us his best efforts to bring the meeting here if the people here desire it, and he can certainly be assured that Green Forest is always ready and will ing entertainer of any sort of praise worthy public gathering.

 Attention is called in this issue to the open letter of J. o. Collier who seeks a second nomination of the democratic party for the office of county clerk. MT. Collier desires the voters to know what sort of an official record he has made and invites the closest scrutiny. He believes his conduct of the affairs of the office entities him to second term.
 IRE TRIBUNE has been requested by some of the citizens of Egypt" con- munity to enter denial for them to the statement we recently published to the effect that a number of people in that locality were upon sufferance. The paper circulated for their benefit is said to have been unauthorized. We are glad to learn that such is the case and glad iy make the correction.
 Hon. F. o. Butt came in on Sunday mornings train from the state senatorial canvass in Madison county, having boarded the cars the evening before at St. Paul. He came to attend court and will return there as soon as it is djourn- ed.

 For the office of tax collector we present to the democratic voters of Car roll county the name of s. s. Cunning ham of Berryville. MT. Cunningham is young man and native of Carroll county. He is possessed of a liberal education and is business man of good clerical ability, qualification very es- sential to the office to which he aspires. His reputation for honesty and his rec- ord as democrat are both above re- proach. MT. Cunningham has never held an office in the county, although he sought the democratic nomination for assessor two years ago. His claims are worthy of consideration.

An Open Letter.


 CARROLL COUNTY: am a can- didate for re-election to the office of County and Probate Clerk, subject to the action of the Dem~ ocratic party. The duties of the office are such that 1t will not be possible for me to see every voter personally between now and the time of the Democratic primary on the 18th day of March, and hence this letter to you, soliciting at your hands a just consideration of my claims. t.@=
 Two years ago you gave me the nomination for this office under promise that should 1 be so for tunate as to be nominated and elected, it would be my greatest delight to discharge the duties of the office ill such a satisfactory and acceptable manner as to meet the approval of all and to give no one cause to regret having SUD- ported me. Just how far I have succeeded in my efforts to fulfill thatpromise, it is not my province to say,
 During the time that I have been your servant, l. have given the office my unqualified attention, and have endeavored to famil- iarize myself with the many i'm portant duties of the office and to make you good Clerk. 1 trust that l have done my duty. h. deed, feel that l am now better prepared to serve you and to protect your interests than ever before, and would certainly ap- preciate second term. 1 have tried to deal honestly and fairly with the people, to serve them we'll, and to merit their indorse- ment.
 submit my candidacy in this contest squarely upon the record I have made. l have no other claims. My record is an open book and 1 invite the closest scrutiny of it by every citizen in the county. Upon it I expect to stand or fall in this campaign.
 Itis a custom of the Democrat ic party, seldom set aside, if ever, except for good cause, to give her officers a second term. But if you feel that l have been derelict in my duty and that your interests have been neglected, it is your duty as a citizen and as a Demo- crat to diSplace me With some one whom you feel is better qualified and will serve you better. Again, if you feel that I have done my duty as an officer, but that an ex- ception should be made in my case, and that 1 should be denied the consolation of second term, we'll and good. Your choice will be my choice and without a mur- mur.
 Thanking you kindly for your support in the past and trusting that my conduct as an officer has been such as to merit your in dorsement for a second term, 1 submit myself.
 Your obedient servant, J. O. COLLIER. Berryville, Ark.

Kipling's Surly Sincerity.

This is what F. NJ. Colby has to say of
Kipling in the "Bookman:"
He will not repent, or conform, or
edit himself, or study how to please. But
there is about him sort of surly sin
cerity even at his worst. He at least is
interested if you are not. He is pleased
with each sudden new intimacy and ex-
asperatingly glib in its jargon and would
as lief lose readers as not. Bridge build
ing or whatever it may be-down he goes
in it with a horrid splash of terminology,
and remains defiantly uninteresting for
months at time. 1t is not as if he tried
to please and failed. It is his mood, not
yours. He is merely muttering to him.
self the technicalities of his hobby, and
criticism cannot shake it out OF him. In
the intervals of something like genius he
is merely a pig-headed man. But the
course has some advantages. He never
does what is expected of him, but he
sometimes does more. Whatever his sins
are. they are not sins OF sub5ervience,
and meanwhile he livSs his own life.
Not that his unliterary activities have
any value in themselves Beyond stir
ring up rows and coming some quotable
phrases, what has he done for politics
these last few years? But looked at as
form of diversion, politics have done
something for him."

w, D. Hubert.

Probably no one has had more excep-
tional opportunities for studying the lives
and habits of wild animals than William
Davenport Hubert, whose book, Forest
Neighbors," will soon be published by Nc
Clure, Phillips & Co. He was born in 1868
at Macinac Island. Mich, where his
father was aged in the fish trade. III
health kept him from attending school,
and ne got his education mainly from a
bountifuI supply of good literature and an
intimate acquaintance with the woods and
water. He spent several years on
large tract of timber land owned by his
father. and lying around the beautiful lit
tie lake which ne has called in his stories
"Glimmer-g glass" While here Mr.. Hull
bert's health was such that he had to be
wheeled in an invalil chair. but this did
not interrupt his acquaintance with wild
animals. He would have his attendants
wheel him into the woods and leave him
there. The animals seemed to realize
that their friend was i'll and would ap-
proach him without fear. He gained an
intimate knowledge of them all-of the
deer that sometimes jumped the fences
and helped themselves TO fresh vege-
tables; the porcupines that came in at
night, and made themselves nuisance by
attempting to gnaw the house down; the
looms that nested on the shores of 'Glim-
merglass," ard the beaver, few of which
were still to be found il the neighboring
streams.

able character of the Jesuit, De Crucis,
typifying the two extremes of the italian
Church Of that era The wreck of the
aristocracy is personified in the old duke.
Odo. the heir presumptive. is the element
of untried youth introduced into this
tangle OF motive and action. During the
years of his cadetship he passes from one
city TO another, and there are vivid
glimpses of Turin, Venice, and Naples,
each city characterized as il 1t were per-
sonality. The author has perfectly caught
the spirit of the time and country. and
the book is as genuinely Italian as An
nunzios. There are few foreigners who
have achieved this. George Eliot's Italians
are hardly more than Engiishmen under
different names; Hall Gaines people OF
THE Eternal City might as we'll be
French for all the racial individuality
they have. Barrett Wendell's Duchess
Emilia" has something of the same clear,
gentle truth that one finds in Mrs. Whar-
toms work. These Italians are not mere
ly human with the addition of local color;
they belong to the place.
Through all the careless experiences of
young man in a pleasure-loving society
we find Odo's heart turning to one ideal
Fulvia, the daughter of Vivaldj, leader
OF little band of liberal philosophers.
How much of Odo's love for her is aroused
by the woman herself. and how much is
enthusiasm for liberal philosophy. as iden-
titled with her, is left to the judgment IF
the reader 1T is by no means certain
that Odo himself knows the proportions.
On the other hand. it may be that the
attraction OF the girls personality en-
dowed the liberal theories with some Of
her own charm. In fact, the enthusiasms
be so thoroughly mixed. especially when
they happen to harmonic, that it is very
hard to separate them. Moreover, with
delicate touches the author calls
attention to the fact that Fulvia not only
represents the new faith, but is the vic
tim of the persecution of the old. She is
the sharer of her fathers disadvantages,
and then of his exile: she suffers with him
in his poverty; finally she becomes more
directly the victim of the persecution OF
the church, and is forced into conventua1
life, when her meeting with Odo gives
new turn to the plot. She is not the ira
ditional learned woman, nor the virago
Of the French Revolution, though she is
both learned and enthusiastic; she is sim
ply pure, beautiful romantic, and gen
tie girl. How, then, can Odo resist the
impulse to range himself at her side in
the struggle between the old order and
the new?
When he has once so ranged himself the
of the plot begins. The read

reason to know it. This is Maxine Cor

gleeful anticipation. But the express was
pulled up just outside the city. Gorky was

"The Valley of Decision"

THE Valley of Decision" by Edith
Wharton, is beyond any question the au-
! thor's masterpiece thus far. More than
that. it is masterpiece without the pos
sessive qualification. 1t is a great book.
The place is Italy; the time one hun
dred and twenty-five years ago-the pc
riod of doubt and turbulence Just pre-
ceding the French Revolution. The hero
| is heir to an Italian duchy, the heroine
daughter Of liberal philosopher under
the ban of the Holy Order. Italy was, at
| that time, the theatre of strife between
| the old and crumbling aristocratic order,
| the church, and the struggling forces Of
| free thought, which were presently to
! reach their triumph in France. With this
Kaleidoscope shifting of forces as back
ground the plot of the novel is worked
out. the struggle intensjfying itself in the
relations of the characters, just as the
motif of piece of music, appearing singiy
in a solo or in the burden of a chorus,
is constantly echoed and varied in the
background of harmonic development.
The unity of the work is complete, and
this is the more remarkable because the
author has made her story almost COM
plete life of the hero and multiplied her
minor characters while introducing no
subplots. There is no character in the
book who is there for any reason except
that of contributing to the development
of the central theme. Mrs. Wharton has
not taken the expedient of making these
characters all interesting in themselves

somewhat slow and difficult to follow;
and, indeed, it might almost be SAID that
one good reason for publishing it in two
volumes was that the reader might begin
with the second. 1t is this volume which
contains all the real action and move
ment. When the situation is once out
succession of powerful scenes. The first
volume leads up TO the second, weaving
first one thread of the plot and then
another. We find the hero, as a depend
ert, lonely, and neglected child, in the
first chapter; We are led to observe the
influences surrounding his youth, growing
out of the old order of things; the hypoc-
risy, the licentiousness, the intrigue, the
immortality of old Italy; the lightness
of n pleasure-loving race, the subtlety
of weak State trained in diplomacy, the
intensities of Southern blood stirred now
ana then by sufficient motive to excite
strong action. The degraded parasite of
the church, Cantapresto, and the admir-
