Gov. Davis Hit Judge Wood.

Hope, Ark, December 19.-
Judge Wood and Governor Davis
spoke here today before a large
crowd, considering the inclement
weather, and an exciting incl
dent occurred during the speak.
ing, which demonstrated the
strenuous condition of the cam
paign.
In the course of his address
Governor Davis stated that he
had opposed Senator James K.
Jones openly and above board
Judge Wood objected to this re-
mark, and a personal encounter
ensued. Governor Davis grabbed
a stick and struck Judge Wood
over the head. Judge Wood re.
ceived two bad blows before thev
were parted, The greatest ex-
citement prevailed,

What the Trusts Do.

1t is the blessed holiday season
of the year when it is meet and
proper that we should think of
those who deserve our copsidera-
ton, and send to them in remem-
brance a gift that will warm the
cookies of the heart. Most peo-
pie recognize this and are glad to
comply with the dictates of the
heart in this regard. In strange
constrast with the actions of most
people is that of the great United
States Steel Corporation, known
all over the earth as the steel
trust, Last year about this time
they gave to their workmen a
Christmas present by allowing
them to buy preferred stock in
their corporation at 50 1-2, which
today is selling at 81 1-2, thus
losing for their men over thirty
dollars a share on what they
bought. AT this Christmas they
have reduced the wages of all
their men, about 100000, about
twenty per cent, thereby taking
out OF their pockets about S12,-
100000, and just at this time
when the cost of living is thirty
per cent higher than any time for

Schley Interviewed.

Cincinnati, Dec. 17.--Admiral
Schley submitted gracefully to
an interview today. When asked
about the situation in Panama he
said:
"Panama? | am not talking
about Panama, but | ain thinking
a hi of a lot. It does not do to
talk. 1t is better to act. A fell
low came to see me, the other
day, from New York. He wanted
to know if would express my
opinion about joint maneuvers.

government wants my views they
will ask me for them."

"Gen. Wood? Lord, l would

heavily"
He declined to express himself
on the alleged opposition to the
nomination of President Roose.

about matters he knew nothing
about.

Crockett's Declination.

Hon. J. W. Crockett, who has
been urged to enter the race for
state treasurer, has determined
not to do 80. He announces that
at the expiration of this his Sec
ond term as secretary of state he
will retire to private life. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Crockett
would have been a strong man in
the race. He prefers not to neg
lect his duties to enter the race
for another office, This is a de-
termination that should be COM
mended in a public official. We
have apparently reached the
point when it is permitted of state
officers that as soon as they are
elected to one office they may be-
gin a canvass for another, and at
this moment we have a state Of
ficer, Governor Davis, who has
announced himself for two offices.
There is little doubt that he is
devoting his attention to a pros
pective canvass three years
ahead.
The people are to blame for
this condition, They have per-
mitted that practice to become
fixed in the state, and even those
who would not resort to it must
do so if they would compete with
the candidates who have no re-
gard for their official duties. This
is true of Judge Wood. Every
man who knows him will give him
credit for the desire to serve the
people honestly and faithfully,
and yet if he would pursue the
race for governor he must do so
now, as Governor Davis would
laugh at the suggestion of wait
ing till a later date to begin the
canvass.
Mr.. Crockett emphasizes the
duty of a public official to his
trust. He will leave the office to
which he has been elected with a
clean record and a host of friends,
He is still young man and may
yet be called to serve the masses
in a higher position than that
which he has filled fer the past
three years. Arkansas Demo.
