UNITED STATES SENATOR CLARKE.

James P. Clarke of Little Rock
was chosen to succeed James K.
Jones in the United Senate by
the general assembly of Arkan-
sas last Tuesday. Clarke re-
ceived II votes on joint ballot,
and Jones 80, The two repub-
lican members of the house voted
for H. l.. Remmel. Each vote
was cast as instructed. Hon.
H. K. Toney of Jefferson county
eloquently nominated Senator
Jones in the lower house. Mr..
Toney declared Senator Jones'
head had grown gray in the SER
vice of his party, of which ne
has been the able leader and de-
fender. ga Spartan in his early
days, old age finds him no less
true. If defeated he will still be
the Grand Old Man of Arkansas.
In concluding his speech Mr..
Toney said that when the full
history of Arkansas comes to be
written no name in it will shine
with greater luster than that OF
James K. Jones.

Instead of benefting the col
ored race in the south by ap-
pointing negroes to office Roose-
welt has done that race a
permanent injury. In trying to
foist the negro upon the white
people as an officer, he has so
incensed the people in some parts
of the country, where negroes
are thickest, that they will not
tolerate the negro in any capac-
ity. But Teddy is becoming
more noted for his blunders than
for anything else.

The people of Indianola, Miss,
are getting along very well with
out a postoffice. They have their
mail sent to an office thirty miles
distant, and by private sub
scription, have it brought to
them. The white people there
say that, notwithstanding this is
a great Inconvenience, they will
con tinue to undergo it for an in

a postoffice managed by a negro.

boards side of the issue.

1t is stated that Judge Parker
has said that he will not accept the
nomination of the democratic par
ty for president unless he is as
sured of the support Of Mr.. Bryan.
He is very sensible in this. The
nomination Of any man by a fac
ton of the party would be disas-
trous to the party which can not
hope to win unless it is united.
All factions must be so joined
that the party is harmonious and
solid. When this condition ex-
lists, if it is wise in the selection of
a candidate, then it can win. There
must be no dictatlon from any
source, and the views and desires
of all must be considered second
arily to the good of the whole.
This seems to be Judge Parker's
idea and it is a good one.

The recent heavy rains over the
cotton district have about settled
the question about picking what of
the crop there is still in the fields.
All hope of saving any part of it
is now abandoned. The crop will,
of course, be cut short by that
much and prices ought to go. up.
The power Of the spinners and the
bears will be put against an adj
vance and the outlook now is that
spite OF them the staple may
bring yet better prices.
