FLEE As a BIRD"

The majority of mankind
maintain and cling to the idea
that they are some day to have
wings. This is a very pretty
idea; that none are bold enough
to deny. 1t would seem from
the following that in the matter
of flying we are to have a little
experience in earthly ether be-
fore finally finding ourselves
compelled to depend upon wings
when we reach the realms of
eternal bliss:
Holland, the Inventor. declares that
he will have everybody who wants to
fsing within a year. This is a bfiei
period in which to complete so big a
contract. but he may accomplish it
Who knows? His idea is to have wings
made OF bamboo and silk, fastened to
the body at the arms and hips, aud with
these he claims to be able to fly as 9
bird goes through the air. He disguards
balloons or ether lifting appliances, and
claims mat he has diacovered, what in
ven,ors have for ages vaiuly sought, the
secr.t of flight by human wings. Won
dess will never cease,
We recall having read in "Ras-
selus, the Prince of Abyssinia, -
that a certain Anticipated in
habitant Of Happy Valley con-
ceived ideas similar to those now
entertained by Mr.. Holland and
proceeded to build bat-shaped
wings. In giving his wings a
trial this would-be flyer tapped
into the. lake and but for the as
sistance of others would have
drowned, so badly was he handi-
capped by his wings. Moral: If
you try to fly, keep away from
the water.

pealing her Corn laws and we
were about to adopt the Free
Trade Walker Tariff, the Spring
field Republican was telling
its readers of the misery of Free
Trade and pleading for Protec-
ton, as it continued to plead till
the Morrill, law displaced the
laws of 1916 and 1857. Let it
tell the truth now as it did then
and acknowledge that Free
Trade in England is a failure, a
sad, lamentable failure, as it has
been sooner or later wherever
it has been tried. England s
wealth, her capital, her prestige,
warded off the awful blow for
nearly half a century, but it has
now come in all it's fury, and
there is only one remedy, a re-
turn to Protection.
And shall we, in the light OF
such experience and such con.
ditions, return to Free-Trade:
God forbid!

NOT ACCEPTABLE.

The idea of raising dover for
Miss Alice Roosevelt was short
lived as it should have been.
But for the idea of a misguided
enthusiast all Oregon must suf-
fer more or less. In no other
part of the union was the idea
of dover by subscription accept
able, as is proved by the follow
ing from an eastern exchange.
The Oregon idea of popular subscrip-
tion to pay for wedding present to
Alice Roosevelt is something that ought
to oe crushed. We fancy that the
President will have something 10 say if
the Oregonians persist. His daughter
isnot a poor girl, and the suggestion
cannot nut be distasteful to her. She
has wealthy relatives .and is to marry a
rich Congressman. and national gift OF
the nature planned in the Beaver state
is not likely to make hit in any other
part of the Union.
If Miss Alice continues to be a
good girl and misfortune makes
it an appropriate act of charity,
we may at some future time in
vest 10 cents or so for her relief.
Happily, at present there is no
pressing need.

GOD FORBID!

The suffering millions OF
Great Britain are not asking fol
charity but are begging fol
work. The situation grows more
acute daily. Never before was
there so great a proportion of
the people unemployed. The
condition is, of course, worst in
the cities, and particularly in
London. Says the Springfield
Republicans"
But another potent cause of the con-
gestton in London has been the steady
impour Of poverty stricken people from
the farms and provincial towns of Eug-
lam. The rush 20 the metropolis has
gone ou for wears, aud, as all students
of the question realize, it has been one
result of the immense decline II Eng
sh agriculture which has been nearly
ruined by composition of food products

countries These laborers, often uu-
skilled, have focked into London labor
market only to demoralize it with cheap
ness.
One remedy within reach is emigra-
ton 10 Canada, australia and South
Africa; yet the thousands of the very
poor in great city ,e~m hard to move

The seat of the State government
of any commonwealth demands the
attention and interest of every law
abiding citizen of that state, and there
Is no construction work being done in
this State at this time which COM
mands the attention of as many people
as that being done in the western part
of Little Rock, the capital city of Ar
kansas. On this hill, located on a
spot easily accessible, the building is
now beginning to show up for what II
is worth. Passengers on the Rock Is
land main line trains, and lroE Noun
tain main line trains can see a great
change in the northern end NOf the
structure within a very short time
Passengers on the Highland Park and
Pulaski Heights car lines can also
note these and other changes which
have been made in the past thirty
days. But it is on the interior, OF the
building that the greatest work has
been and is being done. Many expert
decorators are now employed on the
inside work and the place is beginning
to assume the appearance it will pre-
sent to the State officials when fully
completed.
Approaching the building from the
Confederate monument, the main en-
trance is noted as being well under
way. The rough stone pillars against
which will be placed the long marble
steps Of the grand approach, the whole
north front is seen to be completed.
The stone men were at that time set
ting the giant columns in the colon
made to the north of the main en-
trance, and today they stand complete
The stone work is complete from the
main entrance, around the
north half of the front OF
the building, across the north
end and back to the north colonnade
on the rear Of the building. The balus-
trade, which has been placed only
within the past few days, adds ma
terially to the appearance of the build
ing, and is such an Improvement from
a distance that the new building has
had an ever increasing number of WIS.,
itors for some days past The gable
at the north end has been completed
some months, but until very short
time age the stone for the more artis-
tic and decorative finishings had not
arrived.
The gables for the entire building,
with but one exception, have been set.
The gable over the main entrance has
not been completed and will not be
for some little time. However, on the
west end and all intermediate gables,
are in place.
The Interior.
Entering the building at what will
later be the principal doorway, and
turning to the right the main entrance
vestihule is found. The ornamental
plastering in this long, well-lighted,
high ceiled room has been placed in
position, and to be appreciated must be
seen. OF massive design, it harmon
ICES with the height of the ceiling,
and the great length of the room. TO
the west of this room is that which
will be occupied by the Arkansas Cap
itOl Commission. The ornamental
plaster has been set in this room also,

Supreme Court Room.
A large number of artists are em-
ployed on the ceiling of the Supreme
Court room, which occupies the first
floor. in the western wing Of the new
building. Scaffolding now obscures
much of the beauty of the place, but
even in its present unfinished state it
can be easily seen that this room will
be one of the most imposing in the
building. The ceiling is cut into seq
ments, panels, the contractors desig-
nate it, and each panel is most beauti-
fully decorated The Supreme Court
room is partitioned off from the south
ern corridor, and this aids in arriving
at a more intelligent idea Of what the
interior will be like.
The House.
But in the northern end, where will
be located the house of representa-
tives, is noted the greatest activity.
The steel for the immense dome above
the house is now in place, and the men
are preparing to set the glass and
copper, which will form the covering.
The gallery, or balcony, is also be-
ginning to take form, the angle steel
which is to form the foundation for
the floor is already in place. A large
force Of men are working every hour
of the day to complete this wing Of the
building before the coming of bad
weather.
The plastering of the building, from
top to bottom, has been done. That is,
the first coat has been put on, and
this hides the stern concrete compos,
ing the massive walls. The decorative
plastering for the side walls has not
been started as yet, but will be begun
as soon as the men are ready to take
up that part of the work.
The basement floors have been COM
pleted, and are composed of the same
construction as those tested recently
in the presence of the Capitol Commits
sion. The concrete is strengthened by
the expanded metal, which forms a
part of the floors on all levels. On the
first floor, the workmen are setting the
partition which is to divide the govern
nor's reception room from the eastern
corridor. The governors reception
room occupies the eXtereme northern
end of the building, opposite that OF
the Supreme Court in the southern
end.
The Supreme Court library occupies
the southwest corner Of the building
and the ceiling is now being placed in
position.
To those who have not seen the
building for some time, a trip through
it now would well repay the effort TIC
watch the men swing the mighty steel
girders which are going to make up
the bone of this mighty structure, tC
see them set the ends of these massive
beams in the great hulks of walls and
pillars Of the future government house
of this State, is well worth the small
difficulty the effort will make, and
then, one and all may see for them
selves what manner of structure the
money derived from their taxes is 60
