Political Suggestion.

Mr. Editor: am not a poll
tician and belong to the gang that
is supposed to sit with padlocks
on their lips while other people
run the political affairs of the
country. But the time is coming,
and now is, when the good, con-
servative young men, the women,
the old men and the preachers of
all religious opinions of the
country should put in for hear
ing.
The railroads and other
wealthy corporations when in
need of attorney, or physician or
surgeon, invariably employ the
best talent to be had, regardless
of cost. Hence the Importance
of selecting our strong men to
fill our offices and positions OF
trust in county and state. But
think of it, our best men do not
offer themselves for office. They
can't afford it. A man to run
for governor, or any of the state
offices, must spend at least So, 3,00C
in making the canvas and ther
run the risk of being defeated
and losing his money as we'll as
time. This is not right. The
principle is wrong. For one,
am in favor of a nominating
com mittee IN every county, COM
posed of one good man from
each township in the county,
Let each Of these be not less
than thirty years Of age, able to
read and write, a citizen and a
taxpayer, Of good, sober, moral
character, who loves his state and
is a law abiding man. Let this
committee nominate all the coun-
ty officers and representatives to
the legislature, A committee OF
this kind in every county will

County examiner w. E. Nc
Leod Of Lawrence county has
served notice that he will comply
with the school law and refuse to
grant teachers license to any
person given to profanity, gam
bling, drunkenness, licentious-

vice. A similar notice in each
county will quickly raise the
standard Of morals among the
school teachers.

Our esteemed contemporary,
the Pocahontas Star, says that
Senator Dave King and Attor-
ney General Rogers will be the
leading candidates Tor governor,
and adds that the former will be
Supported by "the Jeff Davis
faction" and the latter by "the
anti-Davis gang" If the Star
is correct, and there is no reason
to believe that it is, a state of af-
fairs to be regretted exists in this
state. The man who is elected
governor next year should be
chosen because of the fact that
he has ability ample to cope with
the duties Of the position, and is
worthy Of the eminent place, and
not because Of the fact that he is
against Jeff Davis or fer Jeff
DAVIS. The fact that a candidate
is a supporter of Jeff Davis does
not qualify him for office. The
fact that a candidate is opposed
to Jeff Davis does not qualify
him for office. 1t is to be hoped
that the candidates,for all offices
next year will campaign on a
platform Of merit, and not at
tempt to make hobby-hor of
the manner in which their bal
lots have been cast in the past.
The people, in state and county,
should demand some better style
Of campaign than has been wit.

One Of the largest suits ever
brought in the state was filed in
the circuit court of Pulaski coun-
ty last week by Attorney General
Rogers against the Hartford Fire
Insurance Company. The suit is
for S290,000, and represents the
accrued penalties at $1,000 a day
since the day the antitrust act
went into effect. The Hartford
has boldly remained in the state,
and is yet accepting all the busi-
ness it can get.

The taxpayers Of Arkansas
are we'll aware of the fact
that the attack made on the
military appropriation bill
by Attorney General Rogers
is not in the interest of the
taxpayers, but a political
move on the part of the At
torney General and spite
work against Gov. Davis,
who favored the MEASURE
Beebe News.
The militia bill carries an
appropriation Of $4,000, and
just what benefit the taxpayers
can derive from this expenditure
from the treasury is hard to see
What will it benefit the taxpay-
ers TO MAINTAIN a few companies
of young bucks whose principle
duty is to strut? There is moi
a thing in it for the taxpayer
except to foot the bills. Attor.
ney General Rogers is attacking
the appropriation on the grounC
that it did not legally pass the
general assembly, as he, the le-
gal guardian of the states inter.
ests, has right to do.
Speaking of appropriations, il
is not easily seen how Governor
Davis could, consistently, veto
the appropriation Of $1,000 tc
complete the roster of Confeder-
ate troops of Arkansas, claiming
it to be useless and unneces
sary expense, and then permit
the appropriation of $4,000 fol
the state guard to stand. Per-
haps the Beebe News can ex.
plain it. The people ought to
keep track of these things anc
have them explained.

With Senator King of Sharp in
the race for governor and Sena-
tor Short of Eulton a candidate
for attorney general, this section
Of the state may be said to be
making a bid for some of the Of

other parts. North Arkansas
ought to be recognized in the
distribution of the offices, espec-
tally when it offers such excel

wisely and discreetly select men.
of known and acknowledged
honesty and ability to represent.
them in the legislature, and thus
we will have a legislature that
will do it's work in a reasonable
time and 20 home. Then lot the
county committees select one of
their number, or some one else
to represent the county in the
state nominating committee.
Then let the state committee
nominate all candidates for state
offices. Candidates for state
senator and other offices not en-
umerated above could be nomi-
mated in similar way.
To bring this about, let county
mass meetings be called to meet
at the several county seats and
steps taken to bring about this
needed revolution. When this
plan is put into operation, good
men, the best in all the counties,
will be put in nomination, yes,
and the best in the state, and
then the race can be made in a
dignified, upright way, without
the fear Of d-slinging and the
danger of spending a pile of
money making the race.
Let all good people pray and
work for political reform. Our
officers and representatives
should be lnen Of sobriety and un-
questioned honesty and integrity.
Not many young men, especially
il single, are able to endure the
strain that is brought to bear up
on them during the session of a
single legislature.

nois-she travelled in Europe with her
warm friend and schoolmate, Miss FL
len Starr. They visited most of the
cities of the continent, and in each they
made u special study of the condition
of districts stricken by poverty.
When they sailed for home they had
made up their minds to Introduce the
social settlement idea in the west and
devote their lives to the work. From
this incentive Hull House came into
being, founded by Miss Addams and
Miss Starr.
Before entering upon the great work
of her life, however, Miss Addams de-
cided to make sojourn to Philadel-
phia in order to study the conditions
and charitable work which she should
do in Chicago.
The next year, in 1889, the social set
tlement of Hull House was opened in
the Nineteenth ward of Chicago, said
to be the worst municipal district in
the world.
In 1t are massed people Of nearly ev-
cry country on the globe, most of

Fifty thousand men, women and chill

In any event, the district was bad
enough to suit Miss Adams and Miss
Starr, and there they have been work
ing ever since and with success that
Is remarkable.
How far famed Hull House really is
may be judged from single incident.
At the time of the Paris exposition
Miss Addams was in France trying to
obtain information as to the status of
social settlements in Europe.
One day she was talking with a cele-
brated sociologist, but the word "set,
tlement" seemed unknown to him. AS
clearly as she could she explained Its
spirits and aims, and then he under
stood.
"Oh, yes" he exclaimed, certainly.
Madam means Hull House."-Phila-
delphia North American.

MarInating steak.

A correspondent asks for directions
for marinating round steak to make 1t
tender. Equal quantities of salad oil
and vinegar, or, better still, lemon
juice, makes good marinade. Two
tablespoonfuls each of the oil and the
vinegar well mixed and seasoned Is
poured into platter, and the steak is
turned several times in the mixture.
Leave it to soak for at least six hours.
The French make very elaborate ma
rinade, which gives the meat a deli
cious flavor. Finely slice white onion
and place 1t In the dish with several
slices of lemon, bay leaf, few whole
peppers, two cloves, bit of mace and
sprig of parsley pulled apart with the
fingers. Add the oil and vinegar and
stir well rogether.-New York Post.

Helps For the Cook.

Many steps can be saved the cook,
whether she happens to combine with
that important Office the duties of the
to be paid for her services, If only the
kitchen be fitted up with eonveniences
of various kinds for her special use.
These cost little to provide, and n
handy man in the house may put them
up himself.
Right over the range or just at one
side Of 1t may be placed hanging cup
board that will save many unnecessary
trips backward and forward from the
shelves of the regular kitchen closet.
This small cupboard may be of any
size commensurate with the wall space,
but should be divided into half by a
shelf which Is at least six inches deep.
Now, the lower half can be divided
again In half. leaving one tall compart-
ment for vinegar and other bottles and
q group of four square spaces to be
used for smaller jars, bottles and such
things. The upper half of the cupboard
can be divided into as many or as few
compartments as will suit individual
convenience.
There is no door to this hanging cup
board. 1t must be left open SO that
everything upon its shelves is within
'asy and quick reach of the cook. Here
she will have before her and ready for
instant use vinegar, bicarbonate of
soda, sugar, salt, nutmeg, spices, in
cluding black pepper and paprika. on
ion juice, garlic, cloves and all the
small essentials to good favorlng
which may be needed at short notice.
Instead of having to cross the floor
to open a closet door and take down
what she wants, then recrossing to the
range, these things will be right at her
hand.
