heartily endorse such sentences as this:
 "I hold that no man who is official ly connected with corporation that is seeking privileges ought to act as member of a political organization, because he cannot represent his cor poration and the people at the same time."
 'lf the Democratic party has not virtue enough to spew out those who traffic in politics for the advantage of the corporations to which they belong, it does not deserve victory nor can it hope for it."
 The corrupt cliques in political organizations which abuse party power for private ends, the corrupt combines in legislatures which be. tray the public interests, the corrupt bossisms which direct party machines in the robbery of the people, are the fruits of corrupt corporation in fluences. The corporation political agent and the corporation political contribution are twin political evils, the elimination of which from poll ties is the first essential step to per- manent reform.

ARKANSAS GRAPHING.

The first complete account of the Arkansas poodle conspiracy, exposed by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton of Little Rock, was published in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of Septem- Der 2.
 It IS the same old story of greed and self-deceiving cunning. As al ways happens. the proverbial honor among thieves turned out to be rank suspicion of one another. Like Folk in St. Louis, Rhoton got hold of a few facts and by playing upon the feals of some of the grafters induced them to turn states evidence. The thieves forgot their honor and fell apart. It was then, every man for himself. And indictments for brib- cry and perjury followed.
 The interesting feature of the game was the weak intelligence of the

..THY KINOOOn COTE"

Our guide through one of these great breakers was Steiney Bolinsky. He is eighteen years old, and has been working in the mines and breakers since he was twelve. He is a fair type of the fittest of those who survive the dwarfing effects of this environment. The meagerness of his life is the goal toward which the majority of the breaker-boys are hastening. He knew the meaning of figs" and spires" and "bony." !" ''Nippin' and spraggin'" were fa- miliar words, but this technical knowledge was the limit of his edu- cation. On his coat were two badges one the picture of President John Mitchell, the other a small cross. He had seen the famous labor leader and adored him. The cross he "got off one of de Sisters" :" Under Mir. MitchelPs picture were the words 'Labor's Best Friend" On the cross was written "Thy Kingdom Come" He was absolutely unable to read either expression. When the words "Thy Kingdom Come" were read to him the blankness of his countenance betrayed his utter failure to comprehend their mean ing. When he was told these words were prayer that right and justice may come; that a man by honest labor may be able to feed and clothe his family; that every boy may learn to read and may not have to go into the breakers when he is ten or eleven years old, and that everybody may be kind to his neighbor his slow eyes kindlcd and he answered, "Is that it?

LEFT LITTLE INSURANCE.
Frank K. Nipple Carried Only S2.500 ol His Life-Investigating
 Trust Funds.

Philadelphia. Sept. 11.-Contrary to general belief, Frank K. Nipple, the suicide president of the wrecked Real Estate Trust company, carried only 2 small amount of life insurance. This became known Monday when counsel for the Nipple family announced that policies for total of only s7,500 on the life of Nipple can be found.
 The experts who are investigating the affairs of the trust company are examining securities for trust funds in the care of the institution. These trusts aggregate more than $26,0o0,- 900 and there is considerable anxiety by beneficiaries of these funds over their safety Up to this time there has been only a hasty examination of the securities and with the excep- ton of about $50.0oo they were found practically intact

grafters. The poverty of their re sources exposed them to the first shot of suspicion, and the prosecut- ing attorney had only to say boo to bring them into the grand jury,
 Boodling in Little Rock, as in St. Louis, hourished for years, not be cause of the cunning or intelligence of the grafters, but because prose cutting officers were either unwilling through fear, or unable by reason of incompetence to bring them to book. The facts were known. Folk proceeded upon more slender evi- dence than many of his predecessors had, but he won because he had courage to take chances and to fight when the fight began. Rhoton ap- pears to be man of like character.
 Grating in the United States is an exotic. It is not characteristic of the people or an essential of social and political conditions. It is one of the by-products of business and political activity, and all that is needed to get rid of it is a sturdy prosecution of the offenders who can be so easily turned up." Folks experience in St. Louis and Rhoton's in Little Rock proves this. Post n.c~o%cL

BRYAN UNPOPULAR.

The Arkansas Democrat referring editorially to the report that Bryan has become unpopular since his speech favoring governmental own ership of railroads, among other good things says:
 Wall street says that he is un- popular, and expresses doubt of his being able to secure the nomina- tion. That is too bad.
 "The trust representatives declare that Bryan has made himself most unpopular and had just as well get out of the running. That is too bad.
 All the serried hosts of plutoc- racy, autocracy, bureaucracy, olig- archy, and aristocracy are opposed to him, and declare that he is a menace to established conditions. He probably is.
 "The mugwumps and party mal- contents are holding up their hands in holy horror at the mans temerity in tackling the great railroad octo- pus. More evidence for the state.
 There is not railroad president in the country that does not testify to Bryan's unpopularity on account of that Federal ownership theory. Then who can doubt the indict- ment ?''

"WHERE ARKANSAS LA0S. r

The Arkansas Gazette under the above quoted headline, after pre- senting table showing the number of rural routes in operation, etc, closes as follows:
 Arkansas, it will be observed, occupies rear seat, and it is un- fortunate that showing so unattrac- tive to homeseekers must be given publicity. As the initiative in the matter of establishing rural mail routes rests with the people, logical ly Arkansas has only itself to blame in this connection. Where there are no rural routes the one conclu- sion must be that the people are indifferent to the benefits flowing from the distribution of letters and papers daily at the farmhouse doors. Indifference like that cannot win im- migration.
 Another consideration is that of good roads. Rural mail delivery and improved highways go hand in hand. The one essential to the other, and the two linked form a combination that bespeaks the pro- gressiveness of a people"

Labor unions in England without a dissenting voice, have appealed to Parliament to have all railroads, canals and coal mines in the empire "nationalized. Did Mir.

These questions are of but little interest to the public, the one of more importance being are the labor unions.of England and America, who all favor naturalization of such pub lie utilities, right? And another, is Bryan right? Time, the arbiter of all public questions, will show that the unions and Bryan are right.

It is to the lasting credit of Polk county that her people cast So large a majority of their votes in favor of Amendment No. 8, providing for
 better school facilities, and for the road tax, to provide for the con- tinued improvement of the roads. These actions speak well for our county and gives us a favorable standing abroad. Good roads are a necessary accompaniment of the rural free delivery of mail, which of itself is an educator, and Arkansas needs better roads and better schools.

Is made a criminal or bawd, For cost of yacht or jewel gawd, To mock creations nobler plan. Between the thing that might have been And this the thing that greed has made, There lies the evil prophets which Makes nations poor, and persons rich, The product of guided sin. Look on this creature, dour and grim, The winner of your luxury, Snug idler and your lady fair; This hostage God left to your care Behold your work and answer him! But ere he calls you to the bar Beyond the grave your tale to tell, You will be tried by fellow-men, And so atone to them, and then You will not fear the threat of hell.
