FAIR PLAY DEMANDED.
Republican SPEAKS and Gives Davis
Praise for one Thing.

EDITOR GUARD:-Being Re-
publican, it is not for me to say
who Democrats ought to vote for
fer Governor, but | think all men
believe in fair play, and | think
some Democrats are not treating
Governor Davis fairly when they
say he has not done one single
commendable act during all the
wears he has been in office.
would remind my Democratic
friends of one act of Gov. Davis
that will always be to his credit
and that is when he placed James
P, Clarke in the u. S. Senate in
the place of James K. Jones.
Senator Jones is a good man and
made good senator from a
Democratic standpoint, but he
was too much of a partisan and
too sectional in his views. On
the other hand James P. Clarke
is broad-gauged and will make a
senator, not for Arkansas alone,
but for the whole country. In
proof of this statement | refer to
his recent speech in the senate
in which he took his stand
squareIy by the side Of President
Roosevelt and praised him for all
his acts in connection with Pan
anna rebellion and commended
his wisdom and patriotism. This
speech Of Senator Clarke's is in
marked contrast to the criticism
and abuse Of President Roosevelt
by Democrats all over the South,
for inviting a negro to take din
ner with him in the White House,
which he had a perfect right to
do. This speech shows Senator
Clarke to be a broad -gauged
statesman, and Gov. Davis de-
serves lasting credit for sending
him to the senate.
REPUBLICAN.
If planting James P. Clarke in
the Senate of the United States
is a worthy deed, then Governor
Davis is guilty, and the Repuh-
lican correspondent of the Bates
vile Guard is correct, for Davis
placed him there, a fact every
one will admit, with the possible
exception of Clarke himself.

CONSUMPTION II

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisth stheGnod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the conaumptivc. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, bu,
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
ching about the combination
Of codlivcr oil and hypophos-
phitcS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action Oh the diseased LUNGS.

Senator James p. Clarke, since

Hand Made Shirtwaists.

A very fashionable white crepe
waist has its front. stock and cuffs
embroidered with clusters of small
pink roses and forget-me-nots in rib
bon embroidery. The lunches OF
flowers have their leaves and stems
done in pale. dull shades OF green
and golden brown. The lunches OF
flowers are connected by and inter
spersed with little bowknots and loops
and ends of ribbon. This ribbon et-
feet is produced by outlining the sup
posed ribbon with a single gold thread
and working small black dots in EN-
broidery silk, about an eighth of an
inch apart between the gold lines.
The effect is that of a dainty and
novel ribbon. 1t is no wider, and
probably not as wide, as baby rib
bon.

ly large to enable him to successfully
overthrow the present sultan and
usurp his throne.
Mr.. Perdicaris, who is a wealthy
man. is now Ga years old, having been
at Athens April l, 1870. His father,
Gregory A. Perdicaris, was a natural
lied citizen and held the position of
consul general. For while Mr.. Per-
dicaris, Sr., was professor of Greek in
Harvard. Ion Perdicaris was educated
at Trenton Academy and spent the
first twenty-five years of his life in
Trenton, where the family was fam
GUS for it's entertainments. During
the civil war it gave literally to the
southern cause. At one time Ion Per-
dicaris seriously contemplated pur-
chasing the Bonaparte estate at Bor-
dentown; but having spent several
years in Europe and Africa, he finally
decided to make Morocco his home.
He bought the sultan's old palace a
few miles outside of Tangier, and
there he and his family have since
resided.
The chateau of Mr.. Perdicaris is
built upon hill, which its owner has
named Mount Washington. 1t is
magnificent place, and has been for
years one OF the show places and the
center of the social life of Tangier.
Mr. Perdjcaris, who is president of
the Hygienic Commission, is, of
course, well known to all the diplo-
Tangier Sir Arthur Nicholson, the
British Minister there, is his personal
friend. and Mr.. Gummere, the Ameri-
can Consul, is another; and both are
doing all that is possible to secure his
release. He is not unknown to the
sultan, and the poor of the Moorish

MOTIVE IN KIDNAPPING OF
AMERICAN CITIZEN IN TANGIER

when he purchased his Tangier cha
teau. and they accompanied him
abroad
In his youth he was considered a
universal genius, with talent for
nearly everything of interest. He was,
in addition to being writer, painter
and musician, n fine athlete and much
interested in the occult. He was an
enthusiastic supporter Of Home. the
Spritualist, and was also a student OF
the doctrines OF Swedenborg.
Raisuli, the brigand, whose band
carried him off, has been at MIR. Per
dcaris' house, and has always been
well treated there; but on these visits
he learned enough to know his host
was the kind of person for whom he
could command large ransom. Mr.
Perdicaris has the reputation of being
generous and kind to all who come in
contact with him, and he was especi
ally kind to the Moors, who are now
according to his letter to the Ameri-
can Consul, treating him with as
much consideration as captive
could expect. In this connection it is
interesting to know that Raisuli, ap-
preciating the delicate health of Mr..
Perdicaris and the fact that he might
suffer from the absence of accus-
toned comforts, sent back to his cha
teau for bedding for him. This also
illustrates the daring of the bandits,
who, being hand-in-hand with the
Moorish soldiery, have little to fear.
The kidnapping was accomplished
with great ease and without exciting
suspicion. Raisuli was well known to
Mr.. Perdicaris, having often been
treated kindly there. On the evening
of May IS, Raisuli with few of his
band entered the place. and while
some of them attacked the servants
who interfered. the owner OF the cha
teau and his stepson were carried out,
put upon horses and led away.
Distance is counted by time in Mo-
rocco, and as the captives were car
ried off to about days journey, it is
probable that they are not fifty miles
from Tangier.
Rear Admiral Chadwicks South At
lantic squadron will be sent to Tan
gier from the Azores, and Rear Ad-
miral Jewell has been ordered to
make a demonstration off Tangier in
order to convince the Moroccan au-
thorities of this governments earnest
ness in the demand for Mr.. Perdica-
ris' release. This is not the first time
the United States warships have been
sent to Morocco. In 1901 Tripoli de-
clared war against the United States,
demanding tribute. Instead, this gov
ernment sent squadron of frigates,
under Commodore Preble. and after
four bombardments and several land
engagements the Barbary States
ceased hostilities. and the Salli Rovers
ceased to prey upon the Mediterra
mean and the North Atlantic.

The very wide sleeves that are be-

height of the figure, and if you are
rather inclined to be short yourself
you will do wisely to exercise a Judi
cious supervision and to forbid your
dressmaker to indulge in any vagaries
either as regards the shape or trim
ming Of your sleeves. You can still
have something which is quite suffi-
ciemly fashionable without adding
in an unbecoming way to the width OF
your figure.

Col. Pope's Rise to Success,

Col. Albert A. Pope Of bicycle fame
has reached his Gath year. He is hale
and hearty and Just as young in spir.
it as he was the first day he turned
out bicycle. When asked as to how
he became successful business man
he referred to his young days, when
he used to get up at 4 o'clock in the
morning and plow field and then
later sell vegetables. He also read
the biographies of big men and tried
to emulate them.
