The Arkansas Travellers Wall.

Rural mail carriers are of few days,
and full of trouble. He goeth forth
in the morning, full of JOY and sing
ing; he returneth at evening, filed
with trouble and with an empty stom-
ach. When the mail train is late he
standeth at the postoface and yearn-
eth for its arrival; when it cometh,
he jumpeth up and down and crack
eth his heels together with JOY. He
rusheth to his desk and worketh in
great haste to route his days deliver
les, and goeth forth to serve his
route ninety minutes late. In his
haste he misplaced piece of mail for
one patron, and that chump setteth
up howl that could be heard from
the rising of the sun even unto the
going down thereof. He returneth
too late for the evening train, and
the postmaster chastizeth him accor-
dinghy. Again, he goeth forth in the
blizzard and VANDERBILT aimlessly
about in the storm, and sufereth
much with cold fingers while gather
ing pennies from the mail boxes by
the wayside. The storm increaseth
in it's fury, and it becometh impessi-
BILE to serve his entire route, and he
returneth to the Office after many tri-
ais and much suffering, and Uncle
Samuel payeth him half rates for his
labor. Selah.
His buggy waxeth old after long
travels, and the cover thereof no lon
ger turneth the rain, because of much
wear. His patron in fair weather en-
vieth him his job; in cold and stormy
days he withcldeth his sympathies
because of the much wages the car
rier receives for his hire. At the end
of the month his creditor pursueth
him with his hands held out. When
each creditor presenteth his bill, and
he footeth them all up and compareth
them to his salary and the smallness
thereof, he kicketh himself and COM
pareth himself to an ass. Yea, YER

Attact By a Negro.

Saluda, Dec. 5.-News has been re-
ceived here that on Saturday evening
after night Mr.. George Dominick of
this county, returning home from
Batesburg, was met hv nerrn in
the road who, after passing, sneaked p
behind and dealt him severe blow Oh
the back of the head with some blunt
instrument. Mr.. Dominick was for a
moment stunned and. called for help,
was answered by some of his friends
nearby, who coming up caused the
negro to dart into the woods.
Robbery was evidently the negro's
purpose, 1t is not known whether
there is any clue to the guilty party
or not.

Rawlings and Moore Die On
Same Sca#old.

Valdosta, Ca, Dec. Al. G. Rawl-
ings went to the scaffold to-day de-
claring the innocence of his three
sons-Milton, Jesse and Leonard-for
the murder of the Carter children mi
July 1905. With him, the negro, ALT
Moore, whose confession furnished
the convicting testimony, was hanged
on the same scafold, and in twelve
minutes they were pronounced dead.
It was thought that Moore would
make a final confession exonerating
the boys, but he did not do it, and
unless the pardon board interferes,
Milton and Jesse will be hanged at a
later date.

fell to the passengers of train on the
Rutland railroad near this station to-
day, when heavily loaded gravel
train, moving slowly on down-grade,
crashed into it from the rear. Three
women passengers were either killed
outright or burned to death in the fire
which followed. A fourth has since
died of her injuries, and at least 18th
persons were seriously injured.
Among the latter were members of

FREAK BILLS.

| Cablegrams of foreign opinion upon
iature lesalizing euthanasia, which is
euphemism for legalized murder. are
sufficient incentive for Wholesale con-
domination of the horseplay that put
the people of Iowa before the world in
the attitude of a South African tribe
To introduce a bill of this nature be-
fore the legislature was bad enough
in itself. To be fooled into acting as
catspaw for string tiend, is ridicu-
perienced the sensation that follows a
serious mistake. That is his own bust
ness. That he has held the state up to
execration to begin with, and made the
legislature a subject for general ridi-
Guile at the best. is the business of all
Iowa.
Some explanation seems due to Mr.
Buckingham. It appears that he did
not realize the nature of the bill that
oplC his IlauiS. I1G WIS IeQutSleu w
present 1t. 1t develops that the reason
for the request" was a desire on the
part of the authors to make a sensation
for which eastern newspapers would
pay. AS far as the explanation goes,
the representative from Buena Vista
is entitled to it.
Aside from the heartless cruelty and
barbaric reversion of the proposition to
kill the unfortunate. Mr.. Buckingham
shows how many measures get before
the legislature by the complaisant
careiessness Of the men who introduce
them upon request or under pressure.
1t shows how laws with special and
concealed purpose slip thru legisla-
lures. If two or three newspaper
boys" instinct with deviltry and PIN
ing for sensation, can work bill
like the one referred to forward into
public consideration, what might a
half dozen shrewd. keen and cautious
lobbyists do thru men ordinar-
lily honest, ordinarily anxious to do
right and innocent of intentional |
wrong? There are men in all legisla-
lures that need political guardianship. |
With real problems confronting 1t, the
legislature has plenty to do without
freak bills or indulging in
horeplay.

CITIES WITHOUT TOWN COUNCILS.

| A company of Marshalltown business
and professional men listened to 6
very thoughtful address upon munich
pal reform by lawyer from Des
Moines, Tuesday evening. The unus-
| ual interest manifested in the subject
| by those present indicated an awaken
| ing of public conscience and presages
| better times to come. Des Moines
itself, has had it's patience tried almost
to revolution by the incompetent and
corrupt government Of its municipality
legislature designed to permit Des
Moines to establish an entirely new
of the Des Moines man being selected
to address the Marshalltown club.
What is known as the Galveston
plan furnished the theme of the dis
course. This is a city government by
commission or board of control and
has worked most excellently because
the crisis which Galveston faced in re-
pairing itself after a devastating flood
has resulted in good men being select
ed for commissioners. When Calves
ton grows rich again, argued the
speaker, and politics creep into city
affairs. the commission plan will fail
just as the town council plan has
failed.
A plan Of city government modelled
upon the modern commercial corpora
ton system Of general manager with
large authority and board of direc-
tors elected by the stockholders or
voters was outlined by the speaker as
an ideal system. He insisted. however.
that no system can succeed unless a
civil service founded upon merit alone
is adopted for the selection of city
employees. He did favor the. election of
city at large, but insisted upon the
merit system above all others as the
one essential reform to better our city
government.
If the good citizens of Iowa munici-
palities would bestir themselves for a
state statute providing for a new sys.

include mayor Of centralized re-
sponsibility. small council elected at
large and civil service merit system,

individuals or as nation, afford tc
do it for mere profits sake Yet. he
had, he said. reluctantly reached the
conclusion that the power of suspen-
sion should be employed if the power
exists to suspend it.
Mr. Simmons concluded with an
argument in support of the constitu-
tionality of the proposed law. on which
point he declared he had no doubt.
Senator Dolliver is for rate regula-
ton. So is Cummins. Perkins? SEN
atOr DoihNer Is IOF Il Slate"lue ptl-
mary and so is Cummins Perkins
Senator Dolliver is for an anti-pass
bill and so is Cummins. Perkins? But
Senator Dolliver is for Perkins.
Problem: Explain Senator Dolliver.
OF course. IL the Sunday closing
bill passes we might have our Sun
day ball games free from admission
fees, free to holders of season tickets.
Mr. Lawyer, would this be an evas-
ion?
1t is said that certain standpatters
opposed especially to the state primary
resented the Buckingham bill as a
Cummins measure and aimed at them
personally.
Jerome has sued Hearst's two New
York newspapers for libel, yet no

EleNNiKINs HALE A PRIMARY.


There will yet be a primary law
| passed by the present legislature. II
may not be whole primary nor much
more than half one. but Il law OF
some kind giving something OF a state
wide primary will be enacted. The
reason is the standpatters who killed
the Crossey bill are already sorry for
it. They are beginning to hear from
home
| The Crossley bill was killed because
of the fear that a primary law going
| into effect immediately would facilitate
the nomination of Cummins. The peo-
pie. so the argument runs. do not know
what an unfit man Cummins is for
governor, hence. if allowed to vote at
a statewide primary, might not listen
closely as some delegates do and might
even vote for Cummins. This it was
that killed the Crossley bill.
The result was to leave Cummins
without a primary. but with an issue
and when the voice of protest was
heard at home there was talk of a
standpat primary bill being introduced:
one of those characteristic pieces of
Legislation designed by railway attor-
teeing to nullify every provision save
the enacting clause. Representative
Flenniken. then jumped in with a bill
for half primary. He proposes to let
the people vote on candidates for gov
ernor, treasurer, auditor. secretary of
state and railroad commissioner, leaving
the selection of candidates for all other
state offices, congressman, judges and
an expression of preference for United
dom of the managers who manipulate
conventions And Flenniken would not
put his primary into opera lion until too
late for Cummins to take advantage
of it.
Cummins the poor politician that he
is, says he prefers half a leaf to no loaf
at all, and Endorses the Flenniken bill.
1t is a good thing. Let the primary
bill be discussed. II the standpatters
are hearing from home and have given
Cummins too big an issue, let them
have another chance. Let Fenniken's
half of primary law come before the
legislature. Then let some member
add the lieutenant governor to it's en-
brace. Another might amend it to in
clude congressman. Still another
might suggest including judicial Off
GERS. Surely everyone would not for
get the idea of letting us instruct leg |
islatures as to United States senator !
And thus, when the other half had |
been added piece by piece, someone
night suggest that the people are ready
% vote at their primary yet this sum-
ner This last suggestion would at
east give the standpatters and rail-
'oad lackeys another opportunity to
explain why 1t would be unsafe for the
people to vote on the Cun,mins candi-
lacy. Yes, Cummins is right Let's
nave a primary even if it is only half a
