LEATHERMAN TO BE
TRIED BY SENATE

Hon. Leland Leatherman o.
Hot Springs, chancellor OF the
/ Third chancery district, will 0t
tried by the senate Of Arkansas
upon an Indictment iornd by the
house OF representatives. Sew
eral days ago charges against
Chancellor Leatherman were pre-
. scented to the legislature, signed
by the sheriff Of Garland county
There were several counts in tht
charges, and the matter was re
ferred to the judiciary committee
of the lower house for inyestiga-
ton. This committee examined
witnesses brought before it BY
the prosecution, and q very daFl
case was made out against tn,
Chancellor. According to thi
testimony Judge Leatherman IS
guilty OF receiving bribes on
numerous occasions, and other
things that would debar him from
retaining 50 high a position as he
now occupies. Acting upon the
evidence brought before the in
vestigating committee, the lower
house passed the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That Leland Leath-
erman OF the Third chancery dis
trict be impeached of high crimes
and gross misdemeanors and mis-
conduct in office" D."
This necessitates a trial OF the
accused before the senate, sitting
as a petit jury, and a committee
of five from the house has been
to prosecute the i'm
peachment proceedings in the
upper chamber. 1t is justice to
Chancellor Leatherman to say
that a majority of the bar of Hot
Springs have expressed conf
dence in him, and that he intro
duced no witnesses before the in
vestigating committee which in
stituted impeachment proceed
ings, preferring, so his friends
claim, to defend himself before
the senate. He has been chan
celior for ten years.

MURPHY ATTACKS
THE COMMITTEE.


Attorney General George W.
Murphy made a sensational at
tack on the majority OF the ways
and means committee of the low
er house, which is investigating
the charges against Gov. Davis,
at the last meeting OF the CON-
mittee. The investigating COM
mittee consists of eleven mem
bers, and the attorney general
charges that six of these are
blocking the investigation by re-
fusing 10 allow him to introduce
witnesses 10 prove his assertions
against the governor. The vote
of the committee is usually 6 to
5, with the half dozen on the side
of the governor. These Col
Murphy calls the "Big Six" 10
the last meeting the attorney
general announced his determin-
alton to withdraw from the in
vestigation if the committee per-
sisted iG refusing him the right
to introduce testimony TO sub
stantiate his charges. He said
the whole thing SO far had been a
mockery. He called each of the
"Big Six" by name, and declared
they lid not want TO do what was
right, and asserted two of the
majority were attorneys for the
governor, instead of impartial
members of an investigating
committee. Col. Murphy said
the committee was mocking him.
He declared he was ready to
prove that Gov. Davis accepted a
private car loaded with cham
pagne and liquor from the Iron
Mountain Railroad for a trip to
New York City; also that the
governor accepted a costly piece
of furniture from a Little Rock
furniture company, after that
company had closed a deal with
the charitable board.
Col. Murphy's speech to the
committee was a hair-raiser, ano
it is a noticeable fact that neither
Gov. Davis nor the "Big Six
saw fit to enter remon5tr ance
of any strength.

WHICH GETS THE MOST
OUT OF LIFE?

Andrew Carnegie is reported to
have said that some years ago he
wanted to cross a mountain in
Pennsylvania and a youngster
offered to take him over for 30
cents. Mr.. Carnegie thought the
price was too great, but, after
long argument, paid it, mot be-
cause the trip was worth IT," as
the story goes, "but because |
had to get on the other side of the
mountain" Mr.. Carnegie adds:
81 predicted that the boy would
some day make a fortune, and he
has. His name was Charles NJ.
Schwab."
Mr.. Carnegie's story of the
steel trust magnate calls to the
mind of the Brooklyn Eagle ed
itor a story illustrating the other
side Of life. The Eagle says:
"Years ago young man owned
the only woodward in a prairie
town out west. He had a goodly
store on hand when heavy SHOWS
came and blocked the roads. For
weeks no wood could be hauled
to the town, yet the young man
went on selling at his regular
price Of S2.75 per cord. A friend
said to him that he could get five
dollars as easily, because the
people must have wood. The
young man said he knew it, but
that he was making a fair living
profit. So he continued to sell
his wood at the same Old price.
Everybody predicted that he
would always be poor, and he is.
God bless him! Never mind his
name; you wouldn't know it if
you heard it; but it is a synonym
of human love and tender SYM
pathy throughout all the prairie
country"
Who is getting the most out Of
life; Charles NJ. Schwab, the
millionaire trust member, who
secured his wealth by unfair
methods and by victimizing the
people, or the man on the prairie,
who, though poor, has the res
pect of his neighbors, and the
knowledge that be has never
wrung from his fellowman that
which did not belong to him?
Why, the latter, Of course. He
will enjoy this life the more, and
a life later on that men whe steal
because the law allows it will
know very little Of.

SENATOR VEST on
DEMOCRACY'S FUTURE.

AVAlAH - 4 hfAH 49,
DEMOCRACY'S FUTURE.
Senator George G. Vest OF
Missouri, who retired from the
United States senate March 4,
after a service in Office extending
over a period of foriy-three years,
gave out the following interview
a few days ago:
"The future Of the democratic
party depends upon the condition
Of the country in 1904. The re-
publicans have staked everything
upon the maintenance OF the
present high tariff, and if the
present condition Of affairs can
be maintained until the fall Of
1904 the democrats cannot win.
The republicans will ascri0e the
prosperity which then may pre-
vail to the Dingley tariff, and the
majority Of the voters never will
stop to analyze the truth OF the
claim.
GAN this is outside the ques-
ton as to whether the democrats
are to come together in the next
presidential campaign. | do not
know what Mr.. Bryan will do,
and have no right to speak for
him in any way, but he will GER
tainIy appear in the next demo-
cratic national convention, and
will be an aggressive factor in
whatever is done"
