Why 1any ail.

Many young men miss their chance to rise in the world because they are not ready for the next step up when the opportunity comes. As long as we are satisfied with just enough knowledge or skill to perform the work in hand, We shall never rise any higher. Those who have fitted themselves for sphere of larger usefulness by diligent study and careful prep aration usually get the opportunity sooner or later.

The papers of the state are dis cussing the probable candidates for governor, and many men are being mentioned as probable can didates for this important position. The Journal expects to make no fight either for or against any man, but we would like to say that, in our opinion, Congressman Brundidge, of Searcy, is most excellent man for this position. He is q progress i've man, is a man of ability and as campaigner stands second to no man in the state. He Is courteous and dignifed, but when it becomes necessary to do so he can drop down on the blood-and-thunder line equal to Jeff Davis or any other man. If Mir. Brundidge should enter the race and the con test should narrow down to he and Davis, Brundidge would win. And we believe Brundidge is about the only man in the state who can de- feat Davis. Of one thing we are sure, no man from Little Rock can defeat Davis and it will only be a waste of time and money for q Lit tie Rock man to run against him.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that some plants grow better than others. Soil may be the same and seed may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong.
 And that's the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak.
 Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed.
 Scott's Emulsion really feeds and gives the child growing strength.
 Whatever the cause of weak ness and failure to grow Scott's Emulsion seems to find 1t and set the matter right.

Some Astounding Pension Figures

Some remarkable figures regard ing pension applications have re- gently been prepared by Pension Commissioner Ware, which show that over P per cent of the men who enlisted for service in the Spanish-American war have filed applications for pensions, notwith- standing the fact that less than ten per cent of them saw actual ser vice. Thirteen thousand pensions have been allowed thus far, Is, 185 applications have been rejected and 34,210 claims are still pend- ing. New applications are being filed daily and it is estimated that before the close of the fiscal year fifty per cent of the men enlisted will have filed applications. Some of the experts in the pension office say that unless the brakes are speedily and effectually applied the cost of pensions growing out of the Spanish war will exceed that of the civil war.

The Politician and the Press

The corrupt politician is the natural enemy of the press. He cannot control the newspapers, and resents the fact that they will inter- fere in his nefarious schemes. He will, therefore, villify and abuse the newspapers wherever he goes, feeling that he must do something to offset their influence against him. The honest politician is the friend of the press, for he knows that he will get simple justice at the hands of those who keep the public informed as to what is going on. He has no weak spots to hide, and is willing for the public to know all that is interesting of his life. Keep an eye on the man who abuses the newspapers. He will do to watch. Little Rock Democrat.

The System Must Especially Be For. sIdsd te RosIsx EsiarisI Attacks,

A trial of fifty years has demonstrat- ed that for this emergency, Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is the fighting element in the blood, and the kind of iron supplied by Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the system requires to successfully combat malarial conditions. Don't wait until you are attacked. Take it now and for tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard and, at the same time, it is the best tonic and invigorant for the entire sys- tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis turbs the system and its cumulative poison begets greater physical troubles than those it is employed to remedy.

PROTEST AGAINST AWARD.
Objection to the Cramps Getting Con-
...s tracts for Cruisers.

The New York Shipbuilding Company,
whose shipyard is at Camden, N. j., has
filed protest at the Navy Department
against the award Of contracts for the
construction of the armored cruisers
Washington and Tennessee to Wm Cramp
& Sons of Philadelphia as recommended
by the naval board of construction 1t
appears that the New York Shipbuilding
Company was the lowest bidder for the
construction of both vessels on the Navy
Department plans. and that the Cramp
company submitted the lowest bid for the
construction Of both vessels in accordance
with its own plans.
1t is contended by the New York COM
pany that 1t will be illegal to award the
contract to the Cramps, under the condi-
ton proposed by the construction board
that they change their bid SO that the yes
sells, will be built on the plans prepared
ey the department, but at the price stated
for building them on other plans The
company suggests that as a legal question
IS involved the matter be referred to At
torney General Knox for his opinion. and
this course will probably be followed.

CALL TO MEET HERE
Delegates to Get Coal" Con-
vention Notified.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 27
WILL URGE CONGRESS TO ACT IN
MATTER.
Detroit Dealers Say Rebate on Cana
dian Coal Will Not Fur
nish Relief.

DETROIT Mich January 13-Mayor w.
c. Maybury today issued the call for the
reassembling of the Detroit .'get coal' con-
vention at Washington, January q. 1t
says:
THE executive committee of the get coal
convention held in Detroit last October met
pursuant to call in Chicago on Saturday.
January 10 1t was the unanimous opinion
of the committee that the Detroit conven-
tion should be reassembled. and its resolu-
tions still further urged upon Congress and
the Attorney General of the United States
as the most effective and only solution Of
the present coal evil.
1.-The reassembling of the conference does
not in any way interfere with anticipate
the action and work of the commission on
arbitration
II am directed by the committee to re-
quest all delegates to the former conven-
tion to assemble at Convention Hall, in the
city of Washington on Tuesday. January
y, at IL am. All delegates sent with ere
dentials by governors of states mayors of
cities or commercial bodies throughout the
United States are invited to attend men,
berS of the conference and to lend the wis
dom of their counsel in this great emer-
gency. To be an accredited member Of
this convention does not depend upon for
mer credentials, but every man bearing
credentials from the persons or bodies
above mentioned is eligible to membership"
As to Canadian Coal.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of a half
dozen prominent coal dealers of this city
that a rebate equal to the duty on Canadian
coal would not result in any Canadian coal
coming into this section of the country.
The Canadian coal that is brought into this
country will all go to the New England
coast. the local coal men say The only
benefit that the middle west will derive
will be by possible lessening of New Eng
lands demand on the American coal fields.
Jay Bigelow of Jewett, Bigelow & Brooks
said rebate on Canadian coal will not af-
feet this market in the least so far as direct
importation to Detroit and vicinity Is con-
cerned.
The New England coast will of course be
benefited somewhat, for Nova Scotian coal
can be shipped down there by water to ad-
vantage. This Canadian coal being brought
into New England may benefit US by lessen
Ing New Engfands demand on the Ameri-
can fields, but that is the only relief we
can look for from it. We are now export
Ing to eastern Ontario practically all the
coal they have, SO you can there is no
possibility of Nova Scotian coal coming
this far west The freight rates would also
make it impossible to import it here to ad-
vantage
Other coal dealers expressed the same
views Mayor Maybury said when told of
the action of the house committee on ways
and means: Il do not see that we have
much to expect in the way of relief from
rebate. With Toronto importing Welsh coal
there is no chance of Detroit importing any

SECRETARY MOODY'S INJURIES.
Will Probably Rest for Few Days at
Annapolis.

Mr.. Fishback. private secretary to secre-
tary Moody, had a telephone talk this
morning with Capt. Brownson, superinten-
dent of the Naval Acadamy at Annapolis
regarding the condition of the Secretary
this morning. Capt. Brownson said that
Mr.. Moody had been badly shaken up in
the runaway accident yesterday, and was
feeling somewhat stiff and sore this morn
ing as result of his numerous bruises, but
on the whole was doing very well and
would be all right after rest of day or
two. His eye is black and blue, his nose
swollen and his face otherwise bruised, but
all his injuries are yielding rapidly to treat
ment. and all traces of the accident will
disappear in few days.
Capt. Brownson said that the Secretary
was at his house, and would probably re-
main there a few days for rest and re-
cuperation, and certainly would not return
to Washington before tomorrow. He added
that 1t was his purpose to take the Secre-
tary for a drive this afternoon in order to
get the benefit Of the fresh air.

HEARD DIRECTOR ROBERTS.
Argued for Cessation Of Coinage of
Silver Dollars.

The Senate committee on finance today
heard an argument by Director Of the Mint
Roberts in support of the House bill, au-
thorizing the coinage Of the silver in the
treasury into subsidiary coins and repeating
the law for the coinage of silver dollars.
Mr.. Roberts said there was great demand
for more small coin. The bill was not. how
ever, acted upon because Of objections
made by some Of the members of the COM
mittee to the provision Of the bill prohibit
ing the further coinage Of silver dollars
This provision was objected to on the
ground that it would be unwise and incon-
sistent to further reduce the volume Of the
currency at a time when there is a very
strenuous demand for money.

REBATE FOR A YEAR
Action Taken by Ways and

TO GET CHEAPER COAL
WILL BE BROUGHT UP IN HOUSE
TOMORROW.

TO GET CHEAPER COAL

At the session of the ways and means
committee of the House this morning the
program outlined In The Star yesterday
for a rebate Of the duty of 81 cents ton
on coal imported into this country. The
original plan was to extend the rebate for
a period of six months only, but this morn
Ing the time was extended to one year
The democrats on the committee endeay-
ored to get a substitute measure adopted
putting coal on the free list, and failing in
this, by strict party vote, made an effort
to extend the time of the rebate plan in
definitely. This failed also, and on the final
vote on the bill both minority and majority
supported it.
The wording Of the bill is as follows:
THAT the Secretary of the Treasury be
and he is hereby authorized and required
to make full rebate of duties imposed by
law Oh all coal of every form and descrip-
ton imported into the United States from
fore gn countries for the period of one year
from and after the passage of this act"
The coal bill prepared by the committee
Will be called up in the House tomorrow,
when a rule will be brought in from ,.e
committee on rules providing for its imme-
diate consideration without amendment.
When the bill reaches the Senate the
democrats and tariff revisionists will not
be deferred by rules from Offering amend
mentS, but the republicans will appeal to
them to pass the bill a measure of public
relief, and not make it the vehicle for par
tlsan debate or struggle. Upon the demo-
Gratis will be placed the responsibility for
delaying the measure If delay occurs, and
the republican leaders think the sentiment
of the country in favor of prompt relief
will deter the opposition from taking ad.
vantage of the bill to precipitate tariff de.
