which becomes nothing in the end
but a monarchy.
"Ehe United States is drifting
rapidly into a monarchial form Of
government. 1t is not even now
governed by men, 1t is con-
trolled by money. The power Of
the financial interests is para
mount to the power Of the people,
"The result will be dissolution
of the confederacy Of States or a
monarchial form of government.
81 want Texas to be big enough
to stand alone, to be once more
the Republic of Texas when the
dissolution Of the Union shall
come. That is reason enough for

Reagan Scents Trouble.

Judge John II. Reagan, the
"grand old man" Of Texas, and
the only surviving member Of the
cabinet of Jefferson Davis, sees
trouble ahead for the American
republic. We publish in full a
statement he recently made at
Dallas:
81 feel that the American Re-
public is doomed.
Gin that event Texas is the
hope Of the people for a free, rep
resentative government. Some
day there will be at least $780,
100000 more people in this State
than there are now.
81 do not want Texas to be di-
vided. When Texas was admitt-
ed into the Union of States the
right was reserved to make five
States of the territory embraced
in Texas. That should never be
done,
81 do not base my opposition
upon the pride that all Texans
have in the territorial greatness
of their State. That is one thing
that makes a sentiment against
division of the State, but the real
reason-the one that outweighs
all the potent argument for di-
viding the State in order to in
crease the influence Of the West
in the United States Senate, is
| found in q moro grave condition.
. The reason Texas must never be
divided is thls--there can be but
two kinds Of Republics, the con-
federation Of States and the CEN
tralized government, the latter Of

there are Sc brick public school
houses in the state, 5,llG frame
and 229 log. The total value of

PRIVACY AVENUE.
The Bees Mistake.

Says tho Batesville Bee: "The
quorum court of Sharp county
levied one half mills for road pur-
poses. Sharp county has more
towards in office to the number
Of officers than any county in the
Union. The time has been when
it was a banner county in many
ways but now demagogues have
it completely"
The Bees first statement is in
correct. The quorum court of
this county levied one and a half
miIls for road purposes, and as
for the rest of the paragraph it
will scarce do more than amuse
the reader. Sharp county has no
more demagogues, in or out Of
office, than its neighbor, indie
pendence. If what the Bee stated
about last election time be true,
Independence county politicians,
at least a number of them, are
thieves. We feel complimented
that the Bee has spared our Of
ficers that name at least.

!. Last week marked the end Of
1.-THE postal Investigations by the
Washington grand jury. Just
! before adjourning it brought
, thirteen new indictments against
\ ten men who stand accused Of de-
frauding the government The
, most remarkable of the new in
dictments was that of James N.
Tyner who was until recently AS
sistant Attorney General for the
postoffice and during Grants ad-
ministration postmaster general.
This makes in all thirty persons
who must stand trial for defraud-
ing the government through the
postoffice department. Among
them is q former postmaster gen.
eral, an ex-congressman and a
state senator from New York, a
mayor OF Pennsylvania, and six

Trivial Sum Decided by Supreme CovrI.

In the case of Ada Cowling VS..
Joe Muldrow, decided in the su-
preme court last week, Justice
Hughes delivering the opinion of
She court, controversy involving
pae-quarter of cent was decid-
ed. This is probably the smallest
amount ever passed upon by the
supreme court OF this state,
The case involved the title to a
piece of land which had been sold
Cor taxes, and the title was at
tackled because of the alleged il
legal sale for taxes. The case
was tried on an agreed statement
of facts, which showed that the
legal amount for which is could
be sold was S4.2S ga, while the
sale was made by the collector
Tor S4.29, thus exceeding the le-
gal amount by one-quarter of one
cent.
Justice Hughes decided that in
this case the overcharge was not
substantial, being for only one
quarter of 2 cent, an amount less
than the least coin issued by the
government, and therefore the
sale was not void, The justice
declared to hold the sale void
would be absurd.

4 Joint Discussion.

In a communication to the gov
ernor, Judge Wood suggested
that as they were both officers of
the state and had been cam
paigning some months, the judge
having spent his entire vacation
in joint discussion with Governor
Davis, it would be only proper
now that they devote the fall
months to the discharge of their
duties and resume the canvass on
January J.. 70 this arrangement
Governor Davis, however, re-
fused to consent, announcing shat
he proposed to make at least two
speeches in every county, and
that there would be no intermis-
sion in his tour Of the state.

Davis Statements.

Much criticism of the governor /
is being INDUCED in by people all .

is not a married man rrue to his
wife; | am not and no other man
IS; all our wives could get di-
vorces on that ground"
The next day after the speak
ing at Ozark, the governor spoke
at Bentonville, and the following
affidavit is self-eXplanatory:
State of Arkansas, County OF
Benton.
We, the undersigned citizens Of
Benton county, Ark, state on
oath that VIC heard the candidates
for governor speak in Bentonville
on the Dist cay of September,
1908, and that Governor Davis in
his speech referring to his having
been turned out Of church, among
other things used practically the
following language: 81 acAnowl-
edge that | am net good enough
to belong to the church, and none
Of you men are. Nobody but the
good women are good enough to
belong to the church. You may

 Relief at Night.

Undoubtedly the hottest place on all the earth, if the testimony of travellers is to be credited, may be found on the Aval islands, which cover fairly ex- tensive area of the Persian gulf, lying off the southwest coast of Persia. It is the largest of them which enjoys the doubtful distinction of leading all per spring competitors in the matter of heat. The mean temperature of Bahr- ein for. the entire year is 99 degrees. July, August and September are unen- durable save for the natives. Night after night as midnight comes the ther- mometer shows 100 degrees. By seven in the morning it is 107 or 108 degrees, and by three in the afternoon 40 de- grees.
 It is stated by veracious travellers that 75, 900 Arabs inhabit the Ayal group, fully 25,000 living on Bahrein, in which connection Sir Henry Layard adds: Tt would seem that man can accustom himself to anything The following are the temperatures at some of the hot test places in different countries: Hyderabad, 105 degrees; Lahore. 107 degrees: Fl Paso, 113 degrees; Mosul, 117 degrees: Agra, 117 degreess Death Valley, A122 degrees; Algeria, 127 de- greas; 5rt Yuma. d2s degrees; Jacoho~ bads 122s desrees: Bahxsins no aegress

 AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING.

 For Future Play.

Baseball AIagnates Arrange Rules
 For Future Play.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-The magnates of the American Baseball league at their annual meeting here rescinded the foul strike rule adopted last year as an experiment. and declared in fa- -vor of schedule of 154 games in or der to meet the extension of the Ma tional league schedule. The playing season will open April 15.
 The vote against the foul strike rule was unanimous, and committee con- sisting of Comiskey, Chicago; Farrell, New York, and Kilfoyle. Cleveland, was appointed to meet with the rules committee of the National league and try to effect compromise on the rule.
 The National league at its recent meeting in New York declared in favor Of this rule, and it is the general belief that considerable trouble will be ex- perienced before substitute rule sat isfactory to both leagues can be agreed upon.
 During the discussion of the matter at the meeting suggestions for com promise were offered by several of the magnates, but nothing definite was de cided upon.
 The suggestion of President Shibe of Philadelphia that only the first foul be called a strike and that the other fouls be treated as they used to be be fore the adoption of the foul strike rule last year seemed to meet the ap- proval of most of the magnates, and it was said that an effort would be made by the committee when 1t met in joint session with the National league com mittee to reach settlement of thG question along these lines.

Consul Will Ask For an Apology,

 WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. - Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister to. Washing ton, has conferred with Acting Secre- tary Loomis respecting the Alexandret- ia affair. The minister presented an other statement emanating from his government very much in the line of that already submitted, the general tenor of which was to show that Mr. Davis, the American consul at Alexan- dretta, was the aggressor in the affray and that he had attacked three Turk ish policemen without provocation.
 This statement failed completely to agree with the report of facts made by Minister Leishman, and, as the state department felt bound to accept the word of its own agent, it could not in- terfere with the execution of the pro- gramme already announced = namely, to have the United States consul now at Beirut return to Alexandretta at his own pleasure on a man-of-war and to look for proper apology and reparatiop.
