The bowling for desirable seats in

THERE is a lesson for the young
editors of Arkansas, and older ones
too for that matter, in the very evil
dent fact as demonstrated by Gov.
Davis popularity in certain sections,
that the average Arkansas newspa-
per does not have the influence in
politics which it should have. For
the past four years they have near
ly all have been fighting him bitter
ly, and yet, up to date, seem to have
accomplished very little. 1t seems
to us that the fault lies largely with
the editors themselves. Instead OF
furnishing the facts of the campaign,
as they do the news of the day, and
leaving the voters largely to them
selves in forming conclusions, they
have undertaken i'll many instances
to dictate, assuming that the own
ership of a grimy hand.press and a
little print shop has given them inn
portance beyond the average voter.
In nearly every instance the voters
have failed to recognize this assum-
ed superiority and have displayed a
perverse disposition to do their own
thinking Aggravated at this per-
versity many of these sages have re-
sorted to all sorts of inconsistencies
to carry their point; they have said
that Davis is a demagogue, lacking
in dignity and truthfulness,- and
then set upon him in a most undig.
nihed manner, maligning him, max
ing false statements concerning him,
and proving their own right to the
title of demagogue most completely
The effect of all this has been exact.
ly the reverse of what they have
wished, and in many instances has
built up a strong sentiment for the
man they have been abusing. There
is lessonin all this for the Arkansas
editors if they are wise enough to
profit by it.

THE inquiry by the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections has, in
the judgment Of public sentiment, es-
tablished a case against Reed Smoot,
of Utah, and public sentiment will
demand that the Mormon senator
be unseated. By the testimony of
the president of the Mormon church,
given with an astonishing unreserve,
that church has not turned it's back
on polygamy. Those who had a
plurality of wives, when the decree
of the nation went forth against
polygamy, have continued to main
tain polygamous relations with
with them. President Smith, HIM
self, has FIVE wives and all have
borne him children since plural mar
riages ceased. He has forty-two
children by these wives and says he
is proud of them all. Evidently
there is still work to be done in
stamping out this blot upon our civ
ilization, and the unseating of
Smoot, who endorses all this, will be
a good beginning.

In a democratic campaign before
the party primaries personal zeal
should never he at the expense of the
party interest. A due regard for the
interest of a certain candidate, cou-
pied with an honest effort in his be-
half, is commendable, but when any
individual goes to the extent of per-
sonal abuse and vituperation he does
his party an injustice and is liable to
be placed in an attitude embarras-
ing to himself, inasmuch as party
loyalty may demand his support of
the democrat thus abused. The
voice of every good democrat should
be reserved for the nominees of his
party.-BerryviIle Progress

Congressman Dinsmore's Circular.

Congressman Dinsmore is sending
to the voters of the district a well
written circular in the interest of his
candidacy for another term as repre-
sentative. 1t is persuasive in its
style, eouehed in careful terms, but
after all is but the same old story of
the man with a good political job
who wishes to hold it,
He talks of the experience and
Influence" which twelve long years
have given him, but does not point
to any long list of achievements
wherein this experience and influ-
ence has borne fruits of Importance
to the district, He hints modestly
at superior ability, but does not give
any evidence that he is not out
classed by many members from other
states who have but just entered
Congress, He has the Washington
Post, an independent journal of that
city, cite long list of Congressman
who have served eapably for many
years, but does not give us the
equally long list of members who,
like Bryan, proved their ability and
usefulness from the very outset. AT
ter reading Mr., Dinsmore upon the
Importance of long service" one
wonders how the green hands who
wrote our Constitution and Decar-
alton of Independence managed to
do so we'll.
He urges that congressman, "un-
like state or county officers" should
be continued indefinitely, but seems
to have forgotten the many express
ions of democratic statesmen, from
Jefferson down, inveighing against
the dangers of establishing an Office
holding aristocraey in any branch
of our government.
1t is fact that Mr.. Dinsmore,
with all of his ability, has been in a
measure disappointment as con-
gresham, even to his friends, as
demonstrated by the very narrow
margin in his victory last election,
They have been waiting for many
years only to find that he might
have done much better and acquired
greater prominence in some other
field; and, having honored him, en-
dorsed him, indicated him, etc, TO
the full end of political patience, he
has now no right to complain ifthey
retire him in favor of one of the
many honorable and capable demo-
Gratis of the district who have laud-
able ambitions to serve their party
and their country in his place.
