There is the kaiser sitting sternly ip the saddle and there is the magpie with its martial stride and there are the officers of the regiment with mingled anxiety and pride plainly marked on all their faces.

PATRIOT OR DEMAGOGUE.

II one cOulu UelleVe the pro- testations of our governor of his friendship for the great common people, of his sincerity to their cause and devotion to their inter- ests, of his struggles in their be- half against corporate greed and wealth, then Davis would rank among our patriots and be worthy of greater admiration than even his most trusting follower now offers at his shrine.
 If, on the other hand, this idol be a mere sham, a pretended friend of the people who would array the great mass against others who have been more for tunate in business in order to
 maintain his political supremacy, who would make a wind-jamming tirade against trusts and railroads in order to appear the champion of the peoples interest, who
 would vaunt his tender-hearted- ness from the housetops and upon every stump while par doning criminals convicted by due process of law and by a jury of their peers for all manner of heinous crimes, what else could be the duty of a newspaper than to expose such a demagogue?
 To you, who have maligned the newspapers of this state in their righteous campaign to. unmask and lay bare the deception and insincerity of Governor Davis, do we speak. Would you have a press upon which to depend for your information and the dis semination of truth cringe before a demagogue of this type because he was prolific in his promises, bold in his trickery and able to fool amajority of the people by his false pretensions of fidelity to their interests?
 Are the editors of Arkansas a lot of squirrel-heads, as they have been derisively termed by the governor of our state, so narrow in intelligence as to be the subservient tools of what this monster calls a Little Rock ring?" Upon whom are they de- pendent for their support? Those ring politicians or upon the good substantial citizenship of their respective communities and counties? There can be but one Would it not appear to be self interest to follow public opinion, even when it was wrong? H And yet the newspapers of Ark ansas have not been guilty. They | were quick to recognize the rascality of a popular idol, and with a few exceptions, who have fallen victims to the snares of appointment to office, have made a valiant and we be- lieve successful campaign to show up the true character of one who has abused the confi- dence of his people.
 There is no halfway ground in considering the record and of this man Davis. He is either the most wrongly abused man in political life or one of the worst types of dema- gogues who have ever played upon the prejudices of a people. He is either deserving of the
