Washington dispatch says senator
Jones Will be Appointed
canal Commissioner.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ex-senator james
X. Jones will be member of the 18th
milan Canal commission unless Presi'
dent Roosevelt changes his mind, says
a Washington dispatch to the Record
Herald. - Oddly enough, Mr.. Jones
has had the support of both Senators
Hanna and Spooner for this appoint
ment. Between the men who have
twice been rival managers OF national
campaigns there is none but the friend
Hest feeling. There will, of course. be
suspicion that Senator Jones Is given
this appointment because he voted for
the Panama route. and that there was
a bargain TO this effect. But snch state
ments do Mr.. Jones great injustice.
He voted for the Panama route because
he was convinced Of the vast superiority
Of that route. There was no bargain,
not even tacit understanding IL the
president appoints him, rs now seems
probable. the compliment will be in
honor of Mr. Jones high character and
well known fitness for the work.
Governor Davis of Arkansas has en-
tered an objection to to the appoint.
ment of Senator Jones on the ground
that he is not Democrat. This ohJec-
ton, II is said, will have no weight
with President Roosevelt.

interest to Indian Territory municipal
tiles. Several years ago Judge Springer
built sidewalk along his property,
Later II man fell and sustained serious
injuries because Of a defect in the walk.
He sued the city. The case was tried
before Judge Thomas, aud an Arkansas
supreme court decision was the basis for
the city's fight A decision for the
town WAS given and appeal taken to the
Territorial conrt Of appeals, where the
decision Of the lower court WAS affirmed,
The circuit court of appeals was next
allowed to pass on the case, and this
week the former decision was affirmed

From the Springfield Mass Republican,

From the Springfield (Mass) Republican.
1t seems not premature to inquire
whether the speeches delivered since
May do not in themselves contain con
vincing evidence that Mr.. Roosevelt is
not Il person who. rs president OF the
| United States, can safely indulge in the
full freedom of the platform.
In determining the question, it Is
necessary TO examine only the speech ut
Sea Grit. delivered this week in which
there was remarkable passage:
mo doubt some of YOU were in the
Spanish American war.
A voice: Eyes. many of us, -
1.-THE only trouble with that WAR was
that there was not war enough to go
around. -
A voice: lyon got your slice.
II did, - continued the president,
Il was one Of the lucky ones.
Not TO speak of the utter lack Of dig
nifty which characterized the colloquy
between the president of the United
States and nameless person in the
crowd, 1t Is sufficient to say that the
sentiments expressed by the president
were not sentiments which after suit
able reflection, he could afford to en-
dorse 1t must be believed that he said
without giving heed to the meaning OF
his words that the only trouble with
the Spanish war was that there WAS not
enough Of It Ito go around. For II
the expression means anything 1t means
that the war ought to have been longer
and more bloody and more costly In life
and treasure in order that more men
might have had opportunities for mill
tary glory which, unhappily, only II
few fortunate ones enjoyed. The ex-
preston signifies, too, that war is some
thing very fine in itself in that it affords
men chance to become famous and
available rs candidates for the honors
and cmoluments of high station. In
denouncing such ideas, rs they deserve
to be denounced, one may hope and be
lieve that they dropped from the lips OF
the president of the United States with
ont full appreciation of their entire
significance to people who know war
only to hate 1t. How different and how
admirable in spirit on the other hand
was the stntment Of Captain Chadwick
of the navy, a professional exponent OF
the art of war, In his recent address rs
president of the naval war college ut
Newport: 1.-The mission Of our coun
try IL, hope. one of peace. disdair
the idea that the slaughter Of war, thu
mere blood and thunder Of our occnpa
ton, should be matter of pride either
to the man engaged In 1t or to his coun
trymen.

FEW people really appreciate the i'm
mense work that the United States has
undertaken in the construction OF an
Isthmian canal There were many who
feared that the adoption of the Panama
route would result in delay or indefinite
postponenent, but correspondent of
the New York World says that it is
very probable that the work will be
commenced in 1908. According to the
World s. correspondent, special
messenger, whose identity is unknown,
sailed from New York on July 26th
with draft of treaty agreed upon by
Secretary of State Hay and Senior
Concha, the minister from the United
States of Colombia, which the Colon
hian congress will he asked to ratify.
1t will convene in October for the spe'
cifc purpose of passing on the treaty

u. 8, Marshal Stahl Denies Rackerby's
Statement.

FORT SMITH, Ark. Aug. 19.-United
States Marshal 5. f. Stahl has maze
the following affidavit:
THAT the affidavit of j. h. Racker-
by, which purports to have beer sub
scribed and sworn to before ID. b.
Horsley, notary public, on August II,
1907, 10 in every respect and particular
untrue, and unqualitiedly false, and
without any foundation whatsoever.
That did not in the spring OF 1877,
IN my office, In the town of Bentonville,
Ark. or ut any other time or place,
state to the said j. H. Rackerby among
other things that | had recently had u
personal conference with General Pow
ell Clayton in Eureka Springs, and that
1t had been agreed between myself and
General Clayton that | was to receive
the appointment of United States mar
shall for the western district OF Arkan-
sas, and that General Clayton said to
me that would have to agree to pay
81 900 in the event that was appointed
to said office, and that General Clayton
had further said that in addition to re-
ceiying the marshal's Office that
would have control Of all federal pa
tronage in the counties of Benton,
Madison and Crawford, nor was there
ever any conversation of any kind OF
character between US which could be
construed or even warped, directly OF
indirectly, into such effect. That nc
such conference or conversation ever
occurred or took place between General
Powell Clayton and myself or any such
conference or conversation of such i'm
port, or to any such effect, or that
would be susceptible OF such construc'
ton.
That did not at any time or place
state to the said j. H. Rackerby that
if Mr.. Chynoweth would agree to pay
$500 OF the ~. 600 that l would agree tC
appoint Mr.. Chynoweth as my chiet
deputy. Nor did | ever pay Genera
Powell Clayton, or any other person
two thousand dollars, or any other sum
for such purpose or any like purpose.
THAT said Rackerby was an appli
cant for postmaster at Rogers, Arksn
sas and failed TO be appointed, and evel
since has been my enemy.

criticised the board for not turning him
ont and announced that he intended to
try to get the next Legislature to change
the law giving the appointment OF the
superintendent of the penitentiary to
the board and give the governor the
power of appointment and dismissal at
will. He said:
Il say we have u ten times worse
man in Rees B. Higgins than we had in
Bind Mcconnell. We made a mistake
when we put Rees Higgins in there, and
am to ask the next Legislature to put
him out.

ment booth, what time the train would
leave for Arkansas, and In conversation
stated that she would not dare be- left
by the train, as she would be afraid
that during the night the Indians might
rush into town and scalp everybody.
Mr.. Wilson attempted to disabuse the
lady's mind ss to the danger of having
her hair lifted by the savage Cherokee
II she remained over night in Table,

The Benehcent Tariff.
ON The Fort Smith Time


Advertising pays in other than com.

Chairman Griggs Of the Democratic
congressional committee advertised for
the facts in support of the Democratic
claim that tariif-protected and trust :
forming industries Of this country are
selling to foreigners cheaper than they
are to their countrymen, who are taxed
to support them. The value OF adver'
Using WAS amply demonstrated. Mr.
Griggs has been given proof that type
writers which are sold to Americans
for 500 are offered for export at $50.
The price Of typewriters is maintained
by the tariff, by monopoly conferred by
patents and by combination OF the
leading manufacturers. II there Is $25
profit on the machine sold abroad Their
IL $40 profit on the machine sold at
home. The export price sheets that
Mr.. Griggs has obtained from some OF
the export houses show sewing machines
offered To foreigners for III which at
home are sold for $40. Tin plate, on
which there Ia u high rate Of protection :,
based upon the pretext that 1t costs

wire rope at less than half, wire nails

out of which Mr.. John W, Gates has
derived snch satisfactory profits, at
lee-fourths of the domestic price. But
the duty is maintained on barbed wire
on the ground that American wages
would have to be reduced II the dut,
