~. Kerwin Eleced Probate
 Judge Over T. M Phillips.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Feb5. The
 most intensely interestng cam
 paign in Jefferson cotspy politics
 in recent years ended yesterday.
 Interest in the election vas cen
 tered on the race for county judge between E. J. Krwin, a
 young man about 26 yeas of age,
 whose only political experience
 was one term in the lowe. house
 of the last legislature, and the
 present incumbent, T. M. Phil
 lips, who was defeated by 300 majority in favor of Kerwin.
 KerWin is Wood man and Phil
 lips is for Davis. The younger candidate made remarkable campaign, forcing the withdraw al of one candidate from the race. J. H. Shelby defeated V. 0. Alexander for county treasurer by about 800 votes, and indica- tions point tqs-t1t1e elfection of Alex. Powell, s. s. Hunt and s. A. Miller, for representative, though MT. Miller and w. B. Sorrels, another candidate, are neck and neck in the stretch. Frank Stewart was elected con- stable ana R. D. McGaughey, soronerJ Those elected without oppoSKion were: James Gould, 1 shaEiff; W. L. Goodwin, circuit clerk; H. K. Toney, state sena- tor; W. D. Jones, prosecuting at torney. The election passed off quietly and was marked by no disturbance.

TIE CAMPAIGN ISSUES
Hon. Charles L. Henry peanes Them
at Indiana Editorial Convention.

Hon. Charles L. Henry CefInes Them
at Indiana Editorial Convention.
At the banquet with which the an
nual convention of the Indiana Repub-
Iican Editorial Association was inaug-
urated. Hon Charles L. Henry, owner
of the indianapolis Journal. spoke on
"The Issues of the Impending Cam
paign." In part he said that the Re-
publicans do not make campaign is
sues in the common acceptance of the
term. They inaugu~ate policies and
stand for the advancement, progress
and prosperity OF the nation-the Dem
ocrats raise the issues, setting up any
and every sort of cry that might catch
a vote at the polls. One difficulty
that the Republicans have had TO con-
tend WITH said Mr. Henry, rs that,
while everything good politically, that
has been done for the country has
been brought about by the Republi-
cans, everything bad has been charged
against them by the Democrats be-
cause they didn't prevent it."
Mr.. Henry said it was due largely to
the untiring efforts of the Republican
newspapers of the state that Indiana
occupies its present proud position
and has made such marked advance
ment, and that 1t rests with them to
keep up the good work The decreas-
ing Of the state debt by almost $6,000.-
900 within the last eight years, he
said, has been brought about by Re
publican administration of state az
fairs, and the Republican press must
contend for a continuance OF this pol
icy. We must insist upon the admin
istration of state affairs in the future
as In the past and upon the business
like, nonpartisan management on state
institutions. In national affairs the
Democrats are pledged to do some
thing with the currency-just what
nobody knows The Republican party
stands where it has stood all the time
for sound money. 49,,

But where in this country is to be
found this organized progressive con-
servativism? The answer is in three
words-the Republican party. If the
Republican party is called upon to face
and cope with the forces of dissolu-
ton it will not be the first time and if
it forseeS the emergency it will be
only another case of history repeating
itself. And comes now this army of
the press; these minute men already
summoned to the contest; this other
national guard, these men enlisted not
for three years only but for during the
war if it takes a lifetime; these men
enlisted not for the service of the
sword but for the more needful service
today of the mind and the heart and
the togue and the pen; these men
armed with the weapon that, rightly
directed, is more powerful than the
sword; the weapon that directed by
vigilant and intelligent patriotism may
remove the necessity for the sword in
this or in any other behalf.
And how? To attempt an answer
in detail would be infinite presump-
ton, but a moment here. In to many
a household what we call out patriot
ism is tucked away 363 days in the
year in that dark room that nobody
wants to go to or to stay in; that room
where the shutters are closed, the sun
light shut out and where there Is .

Wise Old Bow.

The man who writes in to the paper
With knowledge is filled to the brim,
And he is dead willing to share it
With all who will listen to him.
He knows that officials are crooked
And that with corruption they reek,
And it is his pleasure to show 1t
In two or three columns a week.
He knows that the wars misconducted
And how the election should go,
And how the police should go at it
To make automobiles go slow.
He knows how to cut down the taxes
And thus save a dollar or two,
He knows how to doctor the tariff
And just what the council should DO.
The mar who writes in to the paper
Wants everything cut to his mold,
And when things don't go to his liking
His privilege then Is to scold.
His pen runs along like an engine
When he should be sleeping at night,
Because it's his job, self appointed,
To keep the old earth running right.

1t Won't Go Round.

Any mar who is born in the United
States can be elected president provid-
ed he can get elected.
That is a contingent that is not al
ways explained to the youth of the land
as he trudges off to school full of hope
and health giving breakfast food.
BY offhand remarks let fall by his
teacher he is led to believe that all he
has to do is to be good and get his
lessons and when he grows up to lick
the British once or twice and to ounce
the Spanish, and the job is his. !
After he grows up he only has to
mingle with the busy world one season
to discover that no matter what else
he does he must first get elected be-
fore he can be president. 1t is this an
noying feature that makes so many
men willing to compromise on a job
in a livery stable at $40 a month, with
every other Sunday off. ?

For bloody and relentless slaughter
that would shame the meat trust and
knock the skillful padding out of a
census report take the unconfirmed ru-
NOR. When two nations are at war
with each other and the outposts are
taking an occasional shot Mt the seen
cry to keep their guns from getting
rusty the unconfirmed rumor steps in.
and there is something doing from one
end of the cable line to the other.
1t goes forth before breakfast and
lightly kills off 10000 or 10000, just
as the humor seizes it, and that is only
a starter on its days work. 1t is just
as easy for it to kill off a regiment as
a company, and sometimes when 1t
feels that the worlds supply of shocks
is running low will wipe out Il division
and never turn a hair or shed a tear.
But it has a beautiful system of
economy, for it can use the same men
over and over again, and they will not
be one bit the worse for wear.
No nation that contemplates going
to war should fail to stock up on I'M
confirmed rumors if it would use the
latest and deadliest of weapons.

Dressmakers on the street.

An odd fact about dressmakers is
that nearly all of them have the same
fault-on the street they cut their
friends. A noted dressmaker said III
explanation of this fact: THE street is
to us dressmakers what a picture gal
lery is to artists-a grand ~storehouse
of ideas. On the street we are always
on the lookout for new fashions, and
from the neck down we study every
person that passes, for from II we
may get a new skirt pattern, from an-
other a new sleeve, from a third a new
collar, and so on. We are never buster
than when on the street; u eyes are
never more alert, but they don't reach
up to the face level; they cant spare
the time from their study of dresses to
go any higher than the neck. And
hence on the street we cut impartially
our mothers, our sisters. u best

The Blood of Men and Apes.

Between the blood of men and apes
there are many points of similarity
and evidences of a distinct relation
ship, but the blood of monkeys a
readily be distinguished from that OF
men. The difference is more or less
marked, according to the species, the
greatest resemblance being seen in the
case of the gorilla and the least with
the Iemurs, a small species about the
size of a cat and having a face some
what like a fox. A singular fact is
that, judged by the blood, there is less
evidence Of relationship found in the
American families of apes than in
those of the old world.-Harper's
