Socialism seeks the destruction of competition and the merging of monopoly into state of public own ership of the agencies of production and transportation. As against this the experiment is being tried, upon grand scale. of government regu- lation in order to preserve an even balance between the two extremes of competition and monopoly. But regulation involves the evil of cen tralization of power in the Federal government. It is hard question to settle. It involves the most in- tricate and deepest of economic problems. The greatest studen s of political economy are divided in regard to it. Nevertheless; this issue, the solution of which makes for the veal or woe of countless generations to come, is really subject to the decision of the Is, 900, 900 voters of the country"

Day Dreams.

To sit beneath the canopy of sky. Taking no note of time save by its
 flight; To watch it's airship clouds go sailing
 by;- This, to my mind, is nought but pure
 delight. The melody of insect minstrelsy Awakes responsive chords within my
 breast; The chirp of cricket and the hum of
 bee A lullaby that brings me perfect rest. Steeped in aroma of my drowsy dreams The cares of Time are drifting far
 away, The days of yore- and those to come,
 it seems = Compose the blissful present of today. Divorced from earth, my spirit scars
 above, And dwells with kindred souls of
 other days. enter the Unseen, where all is love, And join the chorus of an endless
 praise

GREW FROM SMALL CAUSE.
rsc.u.e one Man Was Behind in His Union Dues n Strike invoiS-
 ing 5000 Was Called.

Butte. Mont, Aug. 1.-The five mines of the Boston and Montana company shut down at o'clock Friday evening the men being notified that the proper ties would remain inactive until the strike of the smeltermen at the Great Falls smeltering plant of the company had been settled. Three thousand men are rendered idle in this city, be- sides a number. of ore train crews which have heretofore been hauling the output of the Boston and Montana mines. about 4.000 tons daily, from the Butte properties to the Great Falls smelters.
 It developed that one man, who was in arrearages on his union dues, IS the cause of the whole trouble, which thus far has thrown 5000 men out ol employment. Five smeltermen, con- stituting a committee, became too Ii. sistent in demanding the discharge ol this one smelterman behind in ms union payments and the quintet were discharged. Their dismissal precip- itated the trouble, the union demand ing the reinstatement of the five men and upon the cor/pany's refusal tht strike was ordered.

A PROSPEROUS COUNTY

A news note from Jonesboro an- nounces that 'the financial state ment of Clerk M. B. Armstrong shows that Craighead county IS in a prosperous condition. There is now only $l57 of county scrip outstand- ing"
 If Judge Prickett continues the same good management he has shown thus far during his present term, Polk county will be in the same prosperous condition and it's county warrants at par. With the good record behind Judge Prickett it would be very unwise to change horses while crossing the get-out-of debt river.

GOOD BYE PARTY NAME.

The time has come when the peo- pie will not respond to the men sounding brass and tinkling cymbals of party name. If party does not stand for something that is for the public good, it has no right to ask for the peoples support. From Governor Folks speech to the Re publican Judicial Convention.
 This patriotic doctrine of Cover nor Folks has found the same favor with the people that has met his earnest insistence upon law enforce ment. This governor of Missouri has done, perhaps, his most valuable work in enforcing the law and re habilitating respect for law; but closely seconding that service has been his promotion of right relations between the people and the political organizations. The political parties of Missouri can no longer go before the public with merely stale and meaningless platforms. They cannot ignore the real, vital issues of good government. And for this advance ment Governor Folk has done the finest service and earned the chief distinction. He has proved new force in the politics of the state; he has placed it on distinctly higher and more patriotic level, and both partiey organizations are more and more appreciating the fact that they must conform to the public spirit he has aroused and exemplified.

TO ASSIST THE FRUIT GROWER

When MT. Gould of the Pomologi- cal department at Washington was last in Mena he stated that the fruit growers of this county needed a better knowledge of how to grow and care for fruit trees, and then have a desire and determination to follow, or put in practice the knowl- edge gained.
 In furtherance of this idea and at our suggestion he promised so cause to be sent to this office twenty-five complete sets which he thought would convey useful information to be carefully distributed to those who were directly interested and would apply.
 We have received the following letter which is published in full. and will say that the bulletins metioned will be presented free of cost to those actually engaged in fruit growing, who call at this office, and when these are given out we will endeavor to get more:

SAFE AND REASONABLE BAL.
 ANCE.

Discussing the present very ur- satisfactory conditions existing between capital and labor, or the trusts and the people, the Kansas City Star says:
 Speaking broadly, the issue in- wolves an effort on the part of the human race to find a safe and reasonable balance between un- restricted and wasteful competition on the one side, and the tyranny of what the London Times calls 'om. nipotent, uncontrolled capitalism on the other. There must be some where a golden mean between un. controlled competition which mean: wasteful, disastrous trade wars anc the operation. in it's harsh t aspects of the law of the survival of the fit test. and uncontrolled monopol, which means tyranny and oppression

|REARADN|RAL IRANDEAD
End Came to Commander-in-Chief of the Asiatic Fleet at Che
 foo, China.
WOULD HAVE BEEN RETIRED NEXT MAY
Tho Officer was Taken HI on July 20 But No Serious Results Were Apprehended Until Just Before Death Came Had Held Many stations of Honor in the Navy.

Chefoo, China, Aug 5.-The sick ness of Rear Admiral Charles J. Train, commander-in-chi of the here Thursday of uraemia, began July 20. He arrived here on the flag ship Ohio, June 24, went ashore and put up at hotel in the best of health, He sailed July to meet the dry dock Dewey on her way to the Philippines and returned to Chefoo, July 20. The admiral went to his hotel and in- formed the officers of the Ohio that he was unable to return on board. He was confined to his room shortly af- terwards but his illness was not con- sidered serious until Thursday and it was not expected to be fatal until few hours before his death. The admirals son, Russell. and Surgeons Henry c. Beyer and Henry E. Odell who have been in attendance on the admiral continuously for sev- eral days, were at his bedside until the end, which was peaceful. The body will probably be taken on board the Ohio Sunday, when the bat tleship will proceed to Yokohama. Washington, Aug. 5.--As comman- der-in-chief of the Asiatic station the l important duty of maintaining strict neutrality in Philippine waters during | the Russian-Japanese war devolved upon Admiral Train. He was 61 years l~I.1
 tive service in May of next year Dur | Ing his service of almost score of
 years at sea he served on many sta
 tions. During the Spanish war he commanded the auxiliary cruiser Prai-
 rie in the North Atlantic patrol squad
 ron and he had been rear admiral
 since 1904.
 Rear Admiral Train was graduated 1 from the naval academy in 1864. In | 1886 he was promoted to commander
 and he reached the rank of captain | in 1898. His commission as rear ad-
 miral dates from 1904. Before going | to the Asiatic waters, Rear Admiral
 Train was president of the naval board
 of inspection and survey. He was 1 the naval officer at the Atlanta ex-.
 position In 1S9+
 | Last October while Rear Admiral
 Train and his son, Lieut.. Train, were
 shooting pheasants near Ranking,
 China, a stray shot hit a Chinese woman and mob attacked the hunt
 ing party. The admiral was knocked l down and probably would have been l killed had not a detachment of ma rines hurried to his assistances It
 required two volleys to disperse the
 Chinese.
