ROBERTS REPORTED
 FEELING SECURE. Correspondent Says He is Travel ing Over Country, and in His Defense Will Seek to
 Prove an Alibi.

There is a temporary cessation in the Lightle insurance fraud case, says the correspondent for the Little Rock Democrat, pend- ing the calling of John V. Rob- erts for trial at Judsonia on Sep- te1nber 21, when he will be ar raigned on the charge of grave robbery, for which Dr. R. G. Lightle, his co-principal, was convicted at Searcy, and fined 5000 and sentenced to- six months in jail.
 As the offense is indictable by the grand jury, and will ultimate ly go to the circuit court, the case may be dismissed before Justice Smith.
 Roberts is reported to have been busy travelling over the country for several days, and is quoted as having told one citizen that he would soon be out of trouble. That he will seek to prove an alibi is generally ad- mitted.
 Gregory has again disappeared and his whereabouts will prob ably remain unknown to Lightle and Roberts.

Commenting on the speech OF Sen.
ator Beveridgs. opening the Rspubii-
can campaign IN Marion county. the
Indianapolis News said:
He thought that the fact that Judge
Parker voted twice for Mr.. Bryan
proved him to be weak. and not quail.
Ned for the ofice OF President Yet
almost 100000 American citizens
followed the course adopted by Judge
Parker. And II we are honest with
ourselves we must admit that most
Republicans would have voted for
their ticket in 1896 even II II had
stood on free silver platform.
The partisan habit is strong-far too
strong. Mr.. Roosevelt himself has
voted for protectionist candidates at
time when he himself was q believer
In free trade. So we should all Of us
try TO be charitable TO partisan real.
Tor we can never tell when we may
need charity ourselvea"
And the News might have added
that there has been no more hide-bound
partisan In the Senate than Mr. Bever.
idge. He has supported every meas
ure advanced by his party and has
shown no independence whatever in
that body. Continuing. the News
says:
Senator Beveridge In his discus
sion OF the relation OF the tariY 10
trusts said that the Standard OIL COM
pany could not be the product OF the
tariff. as there is no tariff on oil But
there is tarir on oil imported from

The people should bear In mind that
the General Assembly. under Repub-

party came into power In 1895 and
the legislative session cost the people
