by the capital example OF II. Jaures. the most
illustrious modern exponent OF the doctrine or
opportunist socialism. Our own labor party
has come into Parliament with the Liberal re-
vival and by virtue of tacit arrangements with
liberal voters or Liberal candidates. II knows
that renaissance of lingo Imperialism would

broad review OF contemporary political history
IN Europe: THE actual direction OF political

questions rather than with dogma" In a
word. Liberalism, here elsewhere, must di-

The Missouri North Arkansas Rail- r,ad, which has finished its lire into Leslie and has let contract for building it's line from Leslie to Pangburn in White County. is the road that Is headed for the Mississippi River with Helena as it's objective point. Everything points to the building of the road and it is built and goes to Helena is a pretty sure thing that will be important station or it.
 The Vice. President and General Manager of the M. F. N. A. Ky. is Geo B. Sands and he was in Little Rock this week and gave out an in teresting interview; a part. said:
 I've will let the contract from Pangburn to the river as soon as our sIineis permanently located. We have had party of engineers in that field for the past thirty days. or more, to find the most available crossing over both the Iron Mountain and the White River"
 We have made the financial arrange ments to build the main line. Six millions of dollars win be required te do this work.
 This sounds good and the repor that Helena has raised big. bonu' for the road to go there sounds bette !! when 1t is said that one of the condi !; tions of the bonus is that the roat MUST come thru Brinkley. Those Helena people must have the advantag' of BrinkIey's rail gateway and connec
