ROOSEVELT WILL
 CONCILIATE SOUTH.
Policy of President Will be Broadly American Hopes to Win Friendship of This
 Section.

Washington, Nov. 20. - The two most important general sub- iects that will be proposed atthe next session of congress will likely be shelved, according to the present indications. They are tariff revision and the prop osition to cut down the represen- tation of the south in proportion to the vote cast.
 Is is generally thought here in Washington that the president in the future will be much more liberal toward the southern states. His idea is, according to report, to be not only a Republi- can president, but to be an American president. His ambi- tion is to retire from office four years hence with this title.
 As the president of the Ameri- can people he wishes to treat all sections fairly. The other rea- son for his leniency toward the South is a case of political ex- pediency. The result of the na- tional election in Maryland and Missouri presents to many Re- publicans the idea that there is further chance of breaking into the solid South.
 To cut down the representa- tion of the South would only make that section of the country present it's usual solid wall of opposition. Indeed, there is se- rious talk that the president may invite some Southerner to be- come a member of his official family. And, further, it is hinted that not a few Southern CTS will be struck by the light ming of federal appointments.

BOOKER IT'S GOOD ADVICE.

In an address to his race at Birmingham, Ala., Monday night Booker T. Washington, the noted Southern negro, gives some pretty good advice to the colored race.
 Among other things he says: "Not a few have predicted that on account of the recent election many members of our race would lose their heads, would become unduly pompous, self-assertive and generally offensive. With all the earnestness that 1 can command l want our people i'll every part of the country to dis appoint those who have made such predictions by leading a life of increased usefulness, sober ness and simplicity, remember ing, as I have often eXhorted be- fore, that in the long run 1t IS to the certain and fundamental ideas of growth in property, in- telligence and high christian character, together with the cul- tivation of friendly relations with all neighbors of all races that we must look for our ulti- mate success.
 "The masses of our people are to dwell for all time here in the South, and here it is that our destiny must be worked out, and we can only succeed when we have the confidence and CO., operation of those about us."

NEWPORT ARKANSAS MONDAY. NOVEMBER,

freight train near Mineral Point, Mo-, a station between Bismarck and DeSoto, that morning, and was delayed about six hours. The accident is said to have been caused by the crew of the freight train overlooking orders in re- gard to the passenger. The mail car and two freight cars were smashed considerably and the. tank of one of the engines was derailed. Engineer Kille- brew of the freight and his fire man jumped and both were slightly injured. Beyond a shaking-up, none of the passen- gers was injured.

COLONEL BARNES
 SAYS NAY, PAULINE.
Not Working to Annex Missouri Don't Want Poplar Bluff, Pants Vandiver or the
 Black River.

Col. w. H. Barnes, the cele- mated Arkansas colonel who en- joys the distinction of being more kinds of people than any other man alive, was in the city today. He says he is simply here in the interest of his house-the San ders Duck & Rubber Company of St. Louis, but we don't believe it. We have accused the colonel, says tlse Poplar Bluff Citizen, of being up here in the interest of Dunklin county and her secession plans, and firmly believe he is. You know Col. Barnes is presi- dent of the Arkansaw Travellers, an association composed of drum mers who infest that state, and it would be but natural for Col. Barnes to be hard at work in the interest of the state of Demo- crats, cotton and Jeff Davis.
 Col. Barnes has been doing several fancy stunts during his stay and it would not surprise us to hear of him trying to take Poplar Bluff home with him. We have our eyes on you, colonel, and while we are always glad to see you in our city, we are not going to allow you to goose us. You can have Old Pants Vandi- yer, colonel, if you can use him in Arkansaw. We can't use him in Missouri.

The family, friends and ad- mirers of the several candidates in the field have heretofore been the chief voters in the Independ- ent baby contest, but now the general public seems to be taking a hand. Of course, they have not deposited a wallet of ballots such as a closely interested party might accumulate by work, but this vote of outsiders has never theless begun to tell and will probably become a strong factor in determining the result.
 Master Edwin Johnson is climbing after James Edward Wilmans for first place, has passed the 500 mark and is a close second in the race.
 Several of the other votes have changed and the status Of the race can hardly be determin- ed by the totals now. as there are doubtless many slowed away votes. It is too early for much of this however, and if the friends of the little tots want them to receive the ballots of t, C general public, their candidate should not be allowed to lag too far behind, and thus appear to have lost out.
 An admirer of little Miss Thel- ma Smart of Jacksonport writes the editor that she hopes our subscribers who have no favorite in the baby contest will cast their ballots for this pretty little girl.

MEDICAL EXAMINERS
MEET HERE TODAY

Doctors looking for openings in the
state of Washington made the United
States courtroom in the Auditorium
building look like the closing Of the
school session at a medical college.
1t is the semi-annual meeting Of
the board Of medical examiners for
the state and those present were ply
sicians from ether states who are re-
auired to pass an examination.
DIR. Coe of Seattle is president Of
the board and was kept busy dis
tributing blanks to the new residents
of the state.
The courtroom was frightened by
the presence of three ladies-Dr. O..
NJ. Slate of Portland. Ore, bright
eyed, intelligent woman of small
stature. who wants a permit to locate
at Garfield: DIR. Fl. l.. Ewing of Nor
ristown, Pa. who wants to locate in
Seattle, and tall lady who wears
glasses and looked into the distance
as she declined to give her name to
the reporter, The session will close
tomorrow after the various papers
are turned in to the board.

ST. LOUIS. Mo. July 5.-(Bulie-
tin,)-There is the best authority for
the statement this afternoon that
Tammany leaders Will give up their
fight tonight to prevent the nomina-
tion of Parker Every effort they
have made so far to weld a nucleus
against Parker's candidacy has come
to nothing and they feel It is purpose
less to carry the fight further.
A Tammany leader this afternoon
said. I'VE have told the delegates
that Cleveland was the best man to
nominate, but they seem to prefer
Parker. We have done all we could,
but 1 can see no hope for. our cam
paign."
Tammany leaders heard Indirectly
this Afternoon that Bryan had sent
word to Charles Murphy he was will
ing to support the candidacy of May
or Mcclellan and would even go so
far as to place him In nomination.
Murphy refused to talk ON this sub
ject.

Nelson was a man of between 46

Far from surrender was the atti-

disdain, the fact Is they, as we'll as
everybody else here. are mighty
anxious to get an answer TO the ques-

The pact does not extend beyond
that period, but the antis declare
they are Just as skillful in a political

Parker. They say the future will take

sition being within striking distance

the result are william J. Bryan, John
