OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb IS, 1905.
THE Statue of Frances Willard, the
gift of the State of Illinois to the
United States is in its place in Statuarv
llMl of the Capitol. Right besides it
stands the statue of George Washington
whose statue was moved few inches to
make room for that OF Miss Willard.
This is the first statue of a woman to be
erected in the Capitol and the under
taking has been the enterprise of women
from beginning to end. The inspiration
came from woman, the legislation was
promoted by women, they secured the
appropriation of $1,000 from the State,
and the sculptor is also a woman.
Women from all parts of the country
were present at the unwilling and yet
there is probably not man in Congress
who is not appreciative of the justice in
having the statue placed among those of
our greatest men. Few, if any of them were
better known than Miss Willard and
none perhaps did more good for his fell
low men while he lived. The inscrip-
tien on the pedestal is fFern al address ef
Miss Willard: "Ah, it is women who
have given the costliest hostage fortune.
Out into the battle of life they have sent
their best beloved with fearful odds
against them. Oh, by dangers they have
dared by the hours of patient watching
over the beds where helpless children lay;
by the incense of ten thousand prayers
waited from their gentle lips to Heaven,
| charge you give power to protect along
lifs's treacherous highway those whom
they have SO loved"

A sensation was sprung in Congress
this week by the acton Of the House i'll
returning to the Senate the Agricultural
bill with its amendment affecting the
drawback on wheat. The House indig-
nantly repudiated the action of the Senate
in making an amendment which clearly
violates provision of the Constitution
and is direct attack on the privilege of
the House to originate all revenue legis-
lation. Party lines were forgotten in
the spirited protest against the action of
the Senate and by vote of 26l to the
bill was returned to the Senate. Speechs
were made by both the majority and
minority leaders and the work of the
Senate in the matter was characterized as
an aggressive attack of the Senate on the
House. The Inconsistency of the Senate
which is even now Indignantly protesting
against the action of the President in the
arbitration matters, in itself usurping
the constitutional rights of the House
came in for much caustic comment.

The first home grown berries are expected to-day, and express shipments will begin first of the week.
 The first strawberries of the sea son were on sale Tuesday by H. ]. Atkison. They were shipped in from Van Buren and retailed at IS cents per quart.
 H. H. Graham, secretary of the Springdale Berry Growers Association has been employed by the Ozark Fruit Growers As sociation as one of the represent tatives to spend the season in the markets. He does not know yet to which point he will be sent.
 There is trouble among the members of the Rogers Shippers Union. Several days ago the union voted to join the 0. F. C. A, but some of the members have since become dissatisfied and sought to have the president to call meeting for the purpose of reconsidering the matter. This he refused to do, and now there iS talk of another associa- ton being formed at Rogers.
 The question of piekers is just now causing some uneaSiuess among local growers. Hereto fore most of the pickers have come from Madison County, but the rains this spring have put people so much behind with their regular farm work that they will not leave 1t. It is expected, how ever, that piekers will be secured from the cities. Judge Patton has received word from the Fris- co officials in St. Louis that they will make rate of piekers of cent per mile from that place and an effort is being made to secure the same rate from Springfield, with good prospects of success.
 A largely attended meeting of the SPringdale Berry Growers Association was held Saturday y afternoon, the object of the meet ing being to consider the propo- sition of joining the Ozark Fruit Grow CTS Association Mir. Payne, of Van Buren. represent ing the association, was present and after discussing the matter at considerable length 1t was decid- ed by vote of S6 to ? to join in the movement. Every berry as- sociation m Washington and Ben ton Counties IS now in the Asso- citation except the Springdale Shippers Union and the Fruit mems Union Of Johnson. Both these have previously held meet ings and voted against uniting. but We understand a meeting of the members of the latter will be held this week and an effort made 10 reconsider their former action.

Willard Berry, former county judge. and to whom credit ls largely due for Washington County flew court house. was born iu Dayies>= County. Ind, October fe, 1850. being the only child of Wafer E. and Angelina Berry. He was reared in Daviess County and was edueat =in the common schools in Washington, the county seat. After leaving school he studied law for four years and for two years practiced his profession in Indiana. In 1879 he moved to Dallas County, Texas. where lie resided for four years. In November. 1883. ae- companied by his parents, he came to Springdale which has since been his home. For q year and a half after coming to Springdale he was engaged in selling machinery and farming implements. and during the next two years travelled in Arkansas and Texas as general agent for a manufacturing company. The work not being to his taste he abandoned the road and engaged ir the real estate business and the practice of law.

He k at present q member of the school board.
 Mr. Berry is q public spirited citizen in all that the term im- plies, aud has contributed gener- ously of h's time and means to ev- cry enterprise that k for the pub lie good. It Is doubtful ii any man in Springdale has spent as much time in looking after public inter- ests and giving advice and coun- sel to people of all classes. While his other interests will not per init of his engaging in the active practice Of law, still when there IS question of law involved the party interested invariably goes to Mr. Berry. And the people have such confidence in his judg- ment and knowledge of the law that his decisions are always ac- cepted without question.
 August II. 1s7s, while resi- dent of Indiana, Mir. Berry was united in marriage to Miss Mary |. McHolland, and they are the par ents of seven children, two sons and five daughters: Tn addeus, Ethel. Walter, Helen, Hazel, Marion and Josie, the youngest being seven years of age. Mir. Berry Is Mason, d member of 1. 0 o. r. and also Camp, and Is d mem Der of the w. Q. W. He Is strictly temperate iu all his habits. Mrs. Berry is a member of the Christian church.
 Several years ago Mir. Berry decided that Springdale ought to have telephone system and he went to work on a small scale, his first switch board being of home manufacture and accommodating 2 about dozen phones.
