hausted. Exploiting a candidate LOT
governor as lawyer without ability
and as a man whose notes had been
protested. is an invasion of private
chara cter that should not be tolerat-
60. The open and public declaration
By the candidate for governor, that II
the candidate for the United States
senate repeated certain remarks he
would kill him. was an outrage that
j. will be difficult to condone or for
give. There are many high-minded
people in tle state Of Arkansas, and
these ought to be selected to fill the
offices and represent the state in posi-
tions of eminence and dignity. The
tempetuous and rough and tumble pol
itician whose claims to political pre-
ferment are based upon his skill and
puissance in rowdyism ought to be re-
tired to obscurity.'
II is painful to admit that what the
News-Scimitar says is true but never
theless it is true and it is to be hoped
that the day is not far distant that
will see a decent regime in Arkansas s

Christianity and religion are not
interchangeable terms: there was an
abundance CT religion in Judea when
the Master came to rebuke and con-

wherever they carry the illumination
of Christianity: and We often find.
right here at home, the loudest relig-
ious profession joined with the small
est Christian love and charity. and the
best testimony to the beauty, the
strength, the Divine origin of Chris
tianity is that it has survived the
championship of so many meagre,
self-seeking souls who have enlisted
in its service

But has it been worth while?-

CT old age Platt can see that MS life
t.as simply been a successful failure.
Because.
"A mans life consisteth not in the
abundance OF The -hiLes that he
tath." Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having. but in being;
not in getting. but in giving. II lies
not in what a man has, h'!t in what
,1v is and what he does.
Plat sees what might have been.
He might have had instead Of mil
lions of dollars. wealth of mind
and soul: instead Of fame as boss
hat of a benefactor; instead OF power
IN politics. the power to do good to
lis fellows: instead of the fawning
# lieutenants, the esteem of friends:
instead of hollow service. love.
Yes, his life "eould have been made
50 much better"-if he had cared
for the real things instead Of the i'm
i,ations
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is we'll that this
cid man. successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure.

1t is said that during the Demo
cratic caucus a Virginia Congress
man offered a resolution indorsing
Roosevelt and urging his nomina-
ton for president. by the Demo
Gratis in 1908. Representative Hay.
also of Virginia, vigorously protes-
ted against the resolution, and af-
ter a brief but heated debate it
was dropped, and members were
all pledged to say nothing of the
incident. The resolution, if such
was introduced, was unwise and
born of sloppy enthusiasm pecu-
liar to the emotional and mercurial
to whom every man is either asaint
or a demon.
The incident reminds one of a
severe criticism by the Washing
ton Post, made previous to the
meeting of Congress. The Post said:
"Where does the Democratic
party come in? The President has
no use for it, has waved it aside,
and notified it that this ratemak-
ing business isaltOgether Repub-
lican affair. We have somewhere
read that contempt will pierce the
shell of tortoise. What effect
will it have on the Democratic
party will be disclosed the coming
session of Congress"
Going further the Post, which
has often had words of praise for
Democracy, adds:
"The Democratic party has
passed through many vicissitudes.
Gen. Lee, at the battle of Chancel-
lorsville, remarked to Lord VOL
seley, then a guest in the Confed
crate camp, that there was one oc
casion when he was not ashamed
of his army-when it was in battle.
"And a like pride must have
come to the Democrat of the last
generation, when Tilden, Thur
man, Randall, Lamar, Beck, Vest,
| No~oo on1 UoOrbooe, xUapo n + fb oi re
zenith-no Democrat was ashamed
of his party when it was in debate
under the lead of these men. What
is it reduced to? It's sole ambition
is to fetch and carry for the Re
publican party, and the Republi-
can President has served notice on
it that its services are not needed
that there is no occasion for it to
distress itself; that it gives nobody
any concern, and that the very
best it can do is to go way back
and sit down."
1t is not so bad as that, certainly.
The Democratic party is not in a
very vigorous condition, but we
prefer to believe that it has hardly
reached the point where nobody
fears or respects it and everybody
kicks it. But if it is in that con
ditiOn, or is approaching it, who
brought it to or started it on the
downward road?

lorHlNc OF PREDICTED FIGHT

i Some weeks ago it was stated
tat President Roosevelt would
hive little to say in his message on
the subject of the tariff, but would
law stress on his scheme for rail-
ROAM rate regulation. The stand
patters, so it was asserted, had
servdd notice that they would re-
sist Amy efforts at tariff revision
and iRtimated that they might
look wAthpore favor on the Presi-
dents plan of railroad regulatio n
provided the consideration of the
tariff question was not urged. The
message scarcely more than touch
Is on the subject of the tariff. On
the question of rate regulation it
is more ilggestive than radical or
definite. Judging by the message,
the predicted strenuous fight to be
waged by the President on this
subject is not likely to occur.
