 The Independent has been asked repeatedly to begin a cru sade towaad keeping the Iron Mountain depot waiting looms in better condition. With the class of Greeks and Dagos who are constantly passing through. here on their way up the extension, and who lay over here for the night, cleanliness is hard to se- cure and we appreciate the diff, culties. The railroad company should provide cars for these la borers to sleep in and 0p the present order before their hepot property is ruined.
 To offset the apparent tufn in public sentiment in favor of Car roll D. Wood the Davis conting- ent claim that many of those who pledge themselves to vote for Wood have only done so las a joke. Men do not thus lightly hold their pledge and sense of honor, and this excuse is too flimsy. The only explanation that can be offered for the tqrn- ing of the tide is that the trick cry, deception and de1nagoguery of one Jeff Davis have been so clearly established that his cum ming resorts, evasions and will full perversion of facts no longer delude.
 The editor is the recipient of a very handsome calendar from the Bank of Newport. The picture is a snow scene, yet not one of that stereotyped order which has grown monotonous to the eye. The cabin of a farmer among the hills and the matron of the home in view are suggestive of that quietude and contentment which distinguishes the happy home of the independent tiller of the soil. The big heartedness of this yeo- marry, too, is told in the sheaf of grain hung up for the birds in this snow-bound world. The picture and calendar proper are very elaborately bordered in harmonizing colors.
 The Frisco system never lags and among the many pretty cal endars sent out for the current year few if any will surpass that of this popular road and it's ac- commodating passenger depart ment. The calendar embraces four leaflets, one to each season, and the coloring is very effective. The Louisiana Purchase Centen- nial is the theme of the affair and it is so impressive that when one plans a trip to the Worlds Fair he is very apt to think of the Frisco as the only way of getting there.

 In this issue of the Independent will be found the announcement of Abe Ballew as a candidate for city marshal. MT. Ballew IS a very genial and popular gentle man and would make an efficient officer, Jealous in his duties of enforcing and thus upholding the law.
 Bryan and Hearst are to be as- sociated in the publication of a St. Louis daily paper, so says ru- nor. Bryan confirms the report only so far as to state that the Commoner will issue a daily edi- tion in St. Louis during the na- tional Democratic convention in July.
 The foundation of the new state capitol will be completed next week and will then be turned over to the contractors, who have much material already on the ground for pushing the work of the superstructure. Ar kansas has a right to rejoice, but it is no fault of the present gov ernor.
 The congressional delegation of this state, with two exceptions Clarke and Macon, have written a letter to President Roosevelt, endorsing Senator Jas. K. Jones as a member of the canal com mission. It's a case of z to 2 and the sentiment of the people they represent maintains this ratio.
 So long as Governor Davis was absent from the trial at Hope, there was no necessity of search ing the court room spectators for concealed weapons. Leave this brewer of animosities and class hatred out of any assembly and you will have no disgraceful re- sorts to force, such as have char acterized the campaign for gov ernor.
 Jeff has written a circular let ter to his friends and many oth- CTS who do not even profess good will toward his excellency, that he must have their active sup port in order to win the coming battle. If his election is de- pendent upon the votes of these supposed-to-be friends, March 26 will certainly be Waterloo for "Jeffie old boy.'
 Portia, the center of a good farming section in Lawrence county, has organized a Wood club of 125 members. The up- rising of the people against Davis and Davisism is swelling to tre- mendous proportions. When once a demagogue is found out the people may be counted upon to bury him deep beneath an avalanche of ballots.
 The Helena World says the chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee is no longer a representative Democrat and therefore Clarke is right in ob- jecting to Jones appointment as a canal commissioner. But by what right is a country newspa- per made a judge of a mans s Democracy when he has been honored with the national chair manship of that party?

The voters who heard Jeff Davis last August in his speech at the Swifton barbecue and at Newport the same night will re- member that he sought to escape responsibility for the pardon of Dr. Johnson by asserting he had been deceived by Fuller & James, the Eureka Springs attorneys who had made application for the pardon. But when Davis later visited the home of these men he took them into his arms and laid the blame upon the penitentiary physician. What think ye of this man who makes one asser- tion here, then doubles in his tracks and makes an opposite counter? To which audience die he speak the truth, if to either There are a hundred such glarine inconsistencies in the record oi Jeff Davis and if given a thirC term there will be an hundred more.

Pennsylvania Professor
mdOrSeS BrOwn'S Action
DR.. Edgar F. Smith Considers Eligibility Rules
Antiquated and Would Permit Anyone to
Enter Athletics After First College Year.

Dr. Edgar +. Smith. chairman Of the
University OF Pennsylvania, has per-
sonally indorsed the action of the Brown
committee in resembling the rule for
bidding men who have received money
for playing summer ball from playing
on varsity teams. DR.. Smith declared
that the abolition of the present rules
would do away with hypocrisy but said
he would favor a requirement Of
years work in the college He says:
Il think you will find that with certain
notifications the action of Brown UNI
versity is what we will eventually cone
to in college athletics. But if Brown
would add to this new departure a rule
providing that every Student must be at
Brown one Year. pass all his entrance
examinations and complete his iull
year in good standing before engaging
in athletics. 1 would give the new rules
my approval. / Seel that II is a mistake
to debar from athletics a bona fide stu
dent who comes to the university for
the purpose of getting an education,
merely because he had at some time in
the past competed in athletics for oney.
When a student had shown i'm this way
that an education was the primary
aim / would not think that he should
be refused permission to represent his
college i'm athletics. even IL in the next
summer he chose to earn a little honest
money by playing summer baseball.
The abolition of the present rules re
garding professionalism, with the sub
stitution Of another rule compelling all
students TO pass year of probation in
the classroom before enga ging in ath-
letics. would do away with the hypoc-
risy and distorting OF eligibility codes
practiced too much today. The argu-
ment that this would admit TO our col
