The Monticellonian., 1903-11-19

Now. the truth is that the MoN- TIeRLLoNIAN has said nothing of the sort and these parties who are circula ting this report know better and are doling out these untruths for the sole purpose Of preiudicing fair minded and hon est men, who are blindly advo- eating the aforesaid Jeff, against this paper.
 Those who have been reading the paper, critically. are aware that the statement Is utterly false; but there are those who are favorable to Davis. who do not read the paper. and such men are induced to believe such stores.
 What we have said, and now repeat. is that ninety-nine per cent of the gamblers. blind tiger men and criminal class, general lv. are advocating Davis And, if there is a law abiding. honest. upright citizen who doubts the assertion let him quietly investi- gate for himself, and see whether our statemen is correct or not.
 If the statement that the crim. inaI element Is for Davis is found to he true. upon honest. consei- entiouS, painstaking investiga- ton. then there is certainly grounds for the good citizen, who is for Davis, to reflect and try and ascertain the reason. It iS hardly probable that these law violators are almost a unit for Governor Davis for their love of law and order; when they are constantly violating the law.
 Then ism 1t more plausible to suppose that they are rather courting immunity from the clutches of the law? When we consider the Governors propen- sity for granting pardons we are inclined to the opinion that we have key to the cause for the class named supporting him, and we are not. in the least, surpris- led at it's doing so; but what as tonishes us is that good men, who desire that law and morali tv prevail. should be found as sisting those who do not.

WHITE HOUSE LIVERY.

Mr. Roosevelt had to be dis suaded from his purpose of re quiring the ushers, attendants and other White House hangers on to dress in livery. It was his plan to have folio wed closely the costumery of the court of St. James
 The prospect no doubt tickled the vanity of the ostentatiouS Teddy and probably he yielded the project most reluctantly to wiser counsel, who fully realized the adverse effect that this aping of mOnarchial forms would have upon the Presidents ambition to succeed himself.
 It IS told of the late President l Mckinley that on one occasion he noticed Capt. Loeffler, the Presidents doorkeeper, in full uniform Inquring the reason for the change, he was informed thatit was thought thatit would he more digni6ed to have all the attendants uniformed. Presi- dent Mckinley was very angry This is a Republic" :" said he, mot a monarchy Send I.oeffler home to change his clothes. y
 This incident was probably re lated to Roosevelt in order to cause him to forego his un-Amer iean, puerile and altogether con temptible intention of aping roy altv Of course the force of the great Mckinlev's s example deter red him. But is not this an in stance where we might as wei take the will for the deed? Is it not quite as bad for an American to wish to adopt despotic styles as to actually do so?
 Theincident is intensely Roose veltian. and it gives evidence oi that yellow thread of inconsist- encv which runs through his tidiosyneratic foibles. He prates much of Democratic simplicity, he IS won't to crate on the equal itv and brotherhood of man re gardless of color vet he is the American President to desire that the customs of the court oi St. James should be followed at the White House and he would fain have white lackies in livery attend him while he sits at the White House table eating dump lings with a coon. o ye gods!- Memphis News.

Obituary.-A. H. Mcdonald
] Af.G.


 Mir. A. H Mcdonald was born in Ala. Feb. s, i84 I. and died at his home at Lacy Oct. s, 1903.
 He went through the Civil war with many honors.
 He was married to Miss Mattie Hickmans on Dec. 26, 1865. To this happy union were born five children, one son and four daugh- ters. Three of these children died several years ago.
 Bro. Mcdonald came to Arkan- sas 3S years ago. The first two years he spent at Monticello. He then came to Lacy and settled on the William Hardy place. where he fatmed for number of years. His health giving way, he em parked in the mercantile business, which occupation he was engaged in when he died.
 Mr. Mcdonald had been suffer ing with catarrhal troubles of the head and stomache for many years, yet he was able to attend to his business until this Spring, when he was compelled to take his bed.
 His faithful physician. Dr Nor rison, did all in his power to save his life. but to no avail.
 s,aaBro Nc cDonald was always found on the Lords side, and he made a record with his little Sunday School class that will live while he sleeps in the grave
 He seemed to realize that his end was near, and talked to his wife about dying, saying that he was ready to go.
 God bless Sister Mcdonald, her children and grandchildren. May they, and all of us, live so that when the summons comes we can say, Il am ready to go and cross over the river where our loved ones are waiting and watching for us. R. E kimbrough.

The following is from the Boone Banner, published at H ar riSson; and will be read with feelings lof pleasure hv all ot Judge Woods friends in this sec ton of country, whether they are sympathizerS with Davis or not It was in this and Ashley county where Judge Wood had his carly struggles. and by his courtly bearing. his unceasing devotion to principle and noble christian example endeared him self to all of the people, who came in touch with him; and now. that he has attained a cer- tain degree of distinction these same old friends, whether they are Davis men or Wood men, cannot help but feel proud of the generous reception given him by strangers, in the most distant part ot our State Judge Wood k q gentleman everywhere and on every part of the ground. and no man who gives him friend ship and support will ever have cause to regret It:
 Harrison relaxed from her erstwhile busy state last Satur day to hear Governor Davis win dicate himself and vilifv the re. mainder of the State officers. The Governor added no new phase 10 his speech
 Hon \ F Nandeventer fol lowed him, reviewing the Gov. ernor s record in q very forcible and telling manner. making q good impression on the audience
 Judge C. D. Wood had the clos ing speech, and though the other two candidates had taken up the greater part of the afternoon, he held most of the audience in rapt attention throughout his ad dress. MT. Wood seems to have made many friends here.
 All the speakers were applaud cd at intervals during the speak ing, but the waning of Davi. forces was commented upor generally.

resentatives this year-nore than 1t has had for several years, if not more than 1t has ever had in one year. However, We are not satisfied with this representa- tion and think that it will be increased in the next few wears.
 No young man, who expects to spend his life in Arkansas, can afford to attend school outside of the State. except for the pur- pose of doing postgraduate k;..for.our University with it's Arkansas students and Arkansas environments certainly offers better training for men, who ex- pect to live in this State. than any institution outside of the State could offer.
 It might be ofinterest to the friends of Judge Wood in Drew county to know that at least ninetv-hve percent of the U. of A. boys are enthusiastically for Wood for Governor. We believe that he will make us a good Gov ernor and that he will reflect honor on the good name Of our State. Believing that we have the truest feeling of loyalty to our State. her institution of learning, and the best welfare of her people in general we could not do otherwise than prefer Judge Wood for Governor to the present incumbent of that of flee.
