John Mitchell is not frequent visit
or in Washington, but when he does
come to this city he makes it a rule to
pay his respects to the president, and
he is always. welcomed. For the first
time he appeared as a politician few
weeks ago. He has made it a rule to
keep out of politics and has frequently
refused to use his influence with the
president in favor of anyone seeking
office, but a particular friend of his,
who acted as his secretary during the
coal strike, Mr.. Louis Hammerling., is
seeking to be made an internal reve-
1ue collector in Pennsylvania, and has
enlisted Mitchell's sympathies.
The president likes to talk with
Mitchell on many subjects, particularly
those relating to labor and labor
unions, as he can get from him and
from President Gompers, of the FEEDER
alton of Labor, a more conservative
idea of what the workingman wants
than comes from the professional agi-
tators. Both these labor leaders have

way when he was secretary OF
war. Mr.. Root came to Wash
ington with a good deal of the narrow
mindedness of New York lawyer. and
it is admitted that the men on Man
haitian island are about as provincial a
set as is to be found in the United
States. He brought with him a preiu-
dice against newspaper men, having at
times been the victim of writer's who
cared more for sensation and space
than they did for absolute accuracy.
He was very cold and distant for some
months after he became head of the
war department, but gradually he be-
gan to recognize the important part
that newspaper men at the national
capital play in national affairs, and he
was not slow in acknowledging their
position when he did recognize them.
When Mr.. Root came to Washington
this month and brought with him Mr..
Bacon, first assistant secretary of state,
he introduced the latter to a group of
newspaper men and proceeded to in
StTuCI Hill dS W uOW uC WAS 10 treat
the press. "These men can be of the
utmost assistance to you and to the
government if you give them your
confidence" said the secretary. "Tell
them everything that it is legitimate to
make public, and if you tell them what
they are not to publish you will find
your confidence respected. Start right
with the newspaper correspondents
and your administration will be sue
cessful."
Mr.. Root finds himself hampered by
an act he did while secretary of war.
and the other day laughingly admitted
it. "Do you know" he said to friend,
there is one act of my career as sec
retary of war very much regret?"

 There Is more profit in reducing the acreage and producing a bale per acre than in planting the whole land and harvesting one- third of bale. The difference between planting 300 acres to cot ton and getting one-third of a bale per acre or planting 100 acres and getting q bale per acre is $2, 150 in cost in favor of the less acreage and larger crop.

SOTHERN COTTON
 ASSOCIATION NOTES.

There can be no stronger orga- citation than one composed of the farmer, the merchant and the banker.
 Gov. Jeff Davis is making speeches in various parts of the state in favor of the Association.
 Over one third of the state is now organized into the Southern Cotton Association.
 Every man who has the we'll fare of the South at heart should join the Association, wear one of its emblems and do his utmost for the success of the movement in his vicinity.
 The Southern Cotton Associa- tion stands for higher prices for cotton, more extended markets, more manufacturies in the South and more thorough organization of the people of the South than has ever been before.
 Every man in every trade, busi- ness and profession in this state Is, and should be, vitally interested in the success of this movement for the protection of the cotton planter, for on the price of cotton rests the prosperity of every busi- ness interest in the state.
 Write to Fred c. Burnett, State Secretary, Chickalah, Ark, for any blanks or information you may need for organizing your county or district.

PUBLIC OWNER SHIP.

After the defeat of Judge Par ker in the last presidential election William J. Bryan declared for national and state ownership of trunk and branch railroads re- spectively and city ownership of public utilities.
 The recent overwhelming Dem- ocratic victory in Chicago, which the Democrats won on the issue of municipal ownership of the street car lines and other public utilities, is in line with the declaration of Mir. Bryan, and the Arkansas Ga- zette thinks that in the presiden- tial campaign of 1908 the tariff, currency, imperialism and other purely political issues will be lost sight of and that public ownership will be thrust to the forefront.

FIRE AT THE BLIND SCHOOL
Boys Dormitory at State Blind School at Little Rock Burned
 Last Saturday.

Little Rock, April B. The boys dormitory at the Ar kansas School for the Blind at Eighteenth and Spring streets was partially destroyed by fire about ' o'clock yesterday morning. Only the ab- sence of the students from the building, 1t is believed, prevented a loss of life, as it would have been extremely difficult to remove all the boys in safety. There were 3S students in the building, but at the time of the fire they were at breakfast in the main building.
 The building, which is a three story brick structure, was so bad- ly damaged that 1t practically will have to be rebuilt. The third story was completely destroyed and the second was badly damaged. The loss Is estimated at about S3,- GOO, which is fully covered by in surance. Secretary John II. Page of the state board of charita ble in stitutions stated last night that the state carries about S2,900 insur- ance on this building. In addition to this there is about $500 insur- ance on the contents.
 The fire was discovered about [ o'clock by w. l.. High, a teacher in the school, and he immediately gave the alarm. Mir. High then went to the third floor to awaken Thomas Lane, the nightwatchman, who was the only other occu pant of the building at that time. Mr. High was unable to awaken Lane for some time and before they were ready to descend the upper part of the building was in flames. They managed to reach balcony and climbed down the posts to the ground from the third story. Mir High was slightly burned on the arms.
 The fire department made quick run to the scene and in & short time had two streams on the fire. The pressure was weak, owing to the fact that the stand pipe was empty, repairs being made on the pipe, but emergency pumps were pressed into service and satisfactory pressure was se- cured. By the time the fire was brought under control the entire upper part of the building had been burned. Most of the oc cupants of the building lost their personal belongings, but most of the contents was the property of the state. A trunk containing a large sum of money was in the room of Lee Mayhan, but when the fire was extinguished the trunk was found undamaged.
 The origin of the fire Is not known. It started in closet on the second floor, but 1t Is not known what caused it. There had been no fire in the building, as it was heated from a central steam heating plant.
 The building will be rebuilt, but it is not believed that it will be necessary to secure an appropria- tion for that purpose.
 Peter Fabro died at Hartford from injuries received in the ex-
