Mena is getting more free adver- tising by having candidate for governor in the person of J. G.. Adams. He is known as temper ance lecturer and fruit grower, be- ing one of the owners of the Adams and Holman fruit farm, located a few miles east of Mena. MT. Adams has recently taken, in connection with other members of his family, three 160 acre government home stead claims on the big mountain just north and a little west of Mena, where he is proposing to make a farm and a home. It is quite possi- ble that his election as governor and having to go to Little Rock would change these plans.

worse, or that it is bad because of the evidences of business corruption recently shown. He is fully aware of the evils of large operations of capital, as often directed, but he has implicit faith in the integrity and honor of the average American business man. He also believes that common honesty will weed out the evils of uncommon dishonesty.
 And it is also worthy of note that Mir. Bryan does not share the feeling of those who hold that to expose business, political or social evils, scandalizes the state or the country. He finds that the only way, or, at least, the best way, is to eliminate that which is dishonest, false or otherwise harmful in the national system. Along with Roosevelt and other assertive reformers, Mir. Bryan has implicit faith in the people. But the people must be informed if they are to act intelligently. Publicity is the only medium of popular infor- nation. You can't take the nation into confidence without taking the world into confidence. Kansas City Times.

TIE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

At reception rendered Colonel w. J. Bryan by Americans in Lon don, England, on July 4, he. among many other good things, said:
 Let me go a step further and appeal for clearer recognition of the dignity of labor. The odium which rests on the work of the hand has exerted baneful influence the world around. The theory that idleness is more honorable than toll that it is more respectable to con sume what others have produced than to be a producer of wealth. has not only robbed society of an enormous sum but it has created an almost impossible gulf between the leisure classes and those who support them. Tolstoy is right in his assert ing that most of the perplexing problems of society grow out of the lack of sympathy between man and man. Because some imagine them selves above work while others see before them nothing but a life of drudgery there is constant warning and much of bitterness. When men and wo nan become ashamed of doing nothing and strive to give to society full compensation for all they receive from society there will be harmony between the classes. xxx
 While in America and in Europe there is much to be corrected and abundant room for improvement, there has never been so much altru- ism in the world as there is today never so many who acknowledge the indissoluble tie that binds each to every other member of the race. 1 have felt more pride in my own countrymen than ever before as have visited the circuit of schools, hospitals and churches which Ameri- can money has built around the world. The example of the Chris tian nations, though but feebly re fiecting the light of the Master, is gradually reforming society. XIX X
 "On the walls of the temple of Karnak an ancient artist carved the likeness of an Egyptian king. repre- scented as holding group of captives by the hair and in the other hand is a raised club with which to strike the captives. What king would be willing to confess himself so cruel today? In some of the capitols of Europe are monuments built and ornamented with cannon taken in war This form of boasting, once popular, is still tolerated, though time must give way to some emblem of victory less suggestive of slaugh- ter"

A TIMELY WORD FROM MR
 BRYAN.

Mir. Bryan's interview given in Norway Saturday was pertinent and inportant. It is fitting that this i terview should have been given in Europe, where there is great readi- ness to exaggerate and misunder- stand the sensational developments of American business recently noted. But it is just as important that the expression of Mir. Bryan's faith ir American business integrity as g wlole should be sent back and circu. lated in his own country.
