THE INDEPENDENT
 PERCY Fl. VANDYKE,
 Publisher and Editor. NEWPORT, ARKANSAS.
A JUST REBUKE.

Seldom has metropolitan newspaper shown a fairness to it's country contemporaries in so vigorous a style as that used by the New York Evening Journal in recent issue in disposing of a sycophantic crank who seeks to befoul his own nest in currying favor with the city paper.
 The writer of the letter to the Journal enclosed extracts from the local paper by which he sought to show that his home paper was insincere in denouncing the Jour- nal, the evident desire of the writer being to curry favor with a big city paper by criticism of his home paper and eulogy of the big city paper.
 As the Journal has men at the helm of broader gauge than the fellows in small cities who abuse their home papers, the following reply was sent to the writer of the letter, whose home is in Pat erson, N. J., and his name F. Loeffell:
 Dear Sir-The Evening Jour- nal appreciates your kind letter. At the same time we are not in- clined to attack or pick flaws in local newspapers, whatever their attitude may be toward this newspaper. As matter of fact the public owes a great debt to newspapers in the smaller cities, towns and villages.
 ''Very often it takes greater ability to conduct a local news paper than it does to conduct a bigger newspaper in a much big ger place. The support the local newspaper receives is meagre at the best, and the hard work done is often not appreciated.
 "The newspaper from the big city sometimes interferes seri- ously with the enterprise of the local editor, and the competition he has to meet is an uneven con- petition, because publishing newspaper where there are mill ions of people to read it makes it possible to spend enormous sums of money to make it attractive, and these sums of money the To- cal editor cannot possibly spend, as his public does not justify it.
 Tt would be great misfort- une to the country if the few big papers in the big cities should interfere seriously with the pub lication of the valuable and in- telligent local newspapers, for upon these local newspapers the welfare of the country largely depends.
 "The metropolitan daily cannot possibly know the needs of the various localities and small cities. Only the local newspapers can protect local needs and influence local public opinion.
 ''The clipping which you send from one of your local papers, at- tacking this newspaper, is, per haps, not entirely fair or judicial. At the same time it is rather natural that an editor represent ing his own individual neighbor- hood should be irritated by lack of local support and by seeing the newspaper from the big city coming in and interfering with his prospects and possibilities of being useful.
 ''As a matter of fact, a great deal of the criticism aimed at this newspaper is just. And in the long run criticism does good if we do not ignore it or fail to profit by it, however irritating it may be occasionally.
 "Of course, we are glad to have as many people as possible read the Evening Journal in the b;or o;+;ac op1 in tho litt1p citipS

cannot afford to take two/news- papers at today's prices.
 "The man who can afford only one newspaper, in our opinion, should display his public spirit and sense of duty to his locality by taking the local newspaper.

later President Roosevelt designated
Mr.. Bristow as a special commissioner
to make an investigation into the pres
ent trade conditions and freight rates
between the west coast Of South Amer
lea and the east coast of the United
States and Europe, and TO determine
the best policy Of managing the Pan
anna railroad.
The announcement came at the con-
clusion of an extended conference be-
tween the president Secretary Taft,
Mr.. Bristow and Senator Long, Of Kan
sas. Senator Long said that the trans
fer Of Mr.. Bristow from the postoffice
department to work in connection with
the proposed Isthmus canal had been
under consideration for a long time.
Secretary Taft" said the senator,
desired 10 utilize Mr.. Bristow's SER
vices in connection with the work Of
constructing the canal, and has had
the idea in mind of appointing him a
commissioners to investigate trade and
freight conditions ever since he re-
turned from the Isthmus OF Panama.
The president readily acceded to Sec
rotary Tafts suggestion, and as the
work will be entirely congenial, Mr..
Bristow has accepted the new posi-
ton"
Mr. Bristow's decision to accept the
special commissionership was has
tened, it is understood, by the trans
fer Thursday Of the division of post
office inspectors from the bureau Of
fourth assistant postmaster general to
the direct control of the postmaster
general himself. Mr.. Bristow regarded
the issuance Of the order of trans
fer as a reflection upon him. That
the order as to the inspectors division
was not issued with the idea of hui
initiation Of Mr.. Bristow is evidenced
by the presidents action.

MGLYNN WILL STAY IN YORK
Now That "stony" is Assured, Most Of
Players Will Sign.

York, Jan. H-There is Joy in the
hearts Of York baseball enthusiasts.
Stony McGlynn, the star pitcher Of the
Penn Park team Of last year, has an
nounced that he has cast aside all offers
he has received to take good positions in
other towns next summer and will stay
with Penn Park Club and Manager George
W. Heckert.
II "a confidently asserted that nearly all
or all Of the other players will follow
suit, for they prefer to stick where
stony" is rather than trust TO fortune
in company with other twirers, for they
declare they can play with McGlynn
when no other pitcher can stir them on
10 success and glory.
1t mas developed pretty strongly that the
rumors OF offers and signing with other
teams was caused merely by a desire on
the part OF the players 10 protect them
selves In the event that there was no fu-
ture for the Penn Park team; but since
the business men are coming 20 the front
so handsomely with a guarantee fund
and since II is apparent that Mr.. Heckert
will continue as tho manager. confidence
is restored.

NIGHT IN TERROR
IN BLAZING BOAT
Lone Occupant Fought
Flames in Craft on Chesa-
peake Bay
GASOLINE ON BOARD CAUGHT FIRE

Alone in a 35-foot gasoline launch
which carried a o-gallon tank CT the
fluid, and with the aft end Of the craft
burning and the tiny vessel being
tossed about on the crests Of the
waves Of Chesapeake Bay on a stormy
night, is an experience which befell
Capt II. c. Won Plock, of Crsfeld,
Nd, last Saturday morning. Captain
Won Flock had taken the launch to
Baltimore to be repaired and after the
necessary work was done he started
on Friday night for Salisbury.
The Cleopatra, as the vessel was
known, had been sold to Glen Perdue
and Mr.. Won Plock was to deliver ~,
launch to its owner. He left Baltimore
about o'clock Friday afternoon and
three hours later he was we'll under
way on the bay.
About 9 o'clock Saturday morning.
while Mr. Won Flock was in the pilot
house, he discovered that smoke was
coming through the cabin doors. He
rushed back to the engine-room and
discovered that escaping gasoline had
caught fire and the entire section was
ablaze. Securing a bucket Mr.. Van
Plock poured water over the fire. but
this only increased the fury of the
flames. He rushed on deck and made
his way along the side Of the vessel to
the entrance OF the engine-room, but
the intense heat kept him from enter
ing.
The casing and molding about the
gasoline tank was burning off, and he
expected TO hear an explosion at any
moment. Fortunately, the tank was
enoased in heavy canvas. The launch
began to leak, and as the water rushed
in It extinguished part OF the fire. The
flames surrounded the engines. and the
captain was unable TO approach them.
The little craft was tossed about as
II it were an eggshell, and the stern
had almost burned to the waters edge.
Captain Won Plock went on deck a
second time, and, to his great relief. he
saw a big steamer heading down the
Chesapeake Bay. He called repeatedly
but no answer came from the steamer.
The wind was blowing about IA miles
an hour, and the swell was running
heavily, but, despite the weather. the
craft was kept aioat by air tight tanks.
Captain Won Flock made every effort
to draw the attention of passing boats,
and he was certain that the blaze would
draw the attention OF some one who
would come to his rescue. After fight
ing the fire for six hours the captain
finally extinguished the fire but dis
covered that the engine had been
ruined, and that he himself was too
weak TO work. About 10 o'clock in
the morning. after a heavy fog had
lifted, he was sighted by the tug Inn
perial between Poplar and Sharps Is
lands, where he had drifted during the
night. The Cleopatra was taken in
tow by the tug and landed at Canton
badly wrecked affair. The fact that
the gasoline tank did not explode is
little short Of a miracle.

Midwinter Fashions

Any fur is fashionable so long as
II is not clumsy in appearance, for
wraps must outline the figure vaguely.
Furs must be heavy i'm reality, but
they must not be in effect. The long
redingote, one of the features of the
season, is beautiful when fashioned of
sealskin, but lends itself to develop
ment In all kinds of materials. The
Dig rolling Russian collar that suggests
comfort on cold days is back again.
though some of the smartest models
show the stole effect with tailor vests.
Velvet remains in favor for dressy
afternoon gowns. while in the pale
colors IL is fashioned into charming
evening toilettes. Among the seasons
revivals is faille, with an added soft
ness that gives to it a new name
faille suave or chiffon faille. Seemingly
more popular than ever are the silks
with a crepe finish. For the after
noon gown, broadcloth is most seen,
and every tone of the seasons color
ings is offered in the fine French
varieties. Delicate gray and biscuit
broadcloths. with open work for
broderie anglaise designs, suggest eff
fective combinations with plain cloth
OF the same shade The vogue Of
hand-work transcends that OF any
previous period. Mexican and Renais-
sance lace-work, English eyelets, Per-
sian and all the other Oriental en-
broideries, and all laces are mingled.
