ENCOURAGING CONDITIONS
Leaders of Two Great Political Parties
Are Getting Nearer Together

In political way the news is
not without interest.
President Roosevelt has declar-
ed to be SO much in favor of the
income tax that he will make it
the text of a special message to
congress.
Mr.. Hearst in New York, being
charged with an intended use of
money in his campaign, said:
l guarantee not to contribute
more funds to my own campaign,
in which | am personally interest
ed, than | did to the campaign of
Grover Cleveland and William j,
Bryan, in which | was merely in
terested as a Democrat. "
Mr.. Bryan, in speech in Kan
sas, paid tribute to the president
of the United States in q para
graph, the whole of which is we'll
worth close reading:
Unless | am very much mis-
taken, we are approaching time
when we can consider public meas
ures with less partisanship than
we have before in generations. |
can remember when | first entered
politics that there was such strong
feeling in regard to parties that it
was almost impossible for a man
belonging to any one party to find
anything good IN another party.
This state has done much to break
down the old feeling President
Roosevelt has done great deal to
convince the public that there is
something good in the Democratic
platforms. He had the courage
to take up some Of the reforms the
Democrats have advocated before
his party had advocated them.
THE president has done much
good. / don't know what he
might have done had he had an In
vironment favorable to reform.
He has done remarkable things
for man who has to fight his
leaders all the way through. !
don't know what he might have
accomplished had he not been so
handicapped. y
When our leaders in politics are
acting and talking abovewise,
there is every ground for belief
that the leaven of public sentiment
is working and that the bread of
better times is in the oven.

STATE HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD
Items of General Interest Gathered

farm in Lincoln county was de-
stroyed by heavy rains in Septem-
Der. About $500 acres on the
state farm were planted in cotton.
The 3-year-old child of G. w.
Jones of Independence met with a
peculiar accident a few days ago.
The child got it's hand caught be-
tween the pailings of a fence, and
while in that position a hog came
up on the other side and bit the
hand, badly decorating it.

fatal accident Thursday afternoon.
The young man was riding home
from Warren S Chapel, where he
had been assisting in doing some
repair work. and was thrown
from his horse and his neck brok-
en-.
Reports from the rice fields of
Lonoke, Prairie and Arkansas
counties are to the effect that the
recent rains and heavy winds dam
aged the rice crop about 10 per
cent. The greatest damage is in
the fields which were unprotected
by timber. but even in these sec
tons it is declared the damage will
not be rs great ~ 10 cotton in the

TELLS STORY OF WIFE
CHILD AND HOME LOST

One of the saddest cases of loss
in the San Francisco disaster is
that of DIR. o. Collins. a refugee
who arrived in the city today. He
left his home when he saw the fire
raging in the central part Of the
city to see II he could not be of
some assistance to those in emmi-
nent danger. He did not think that
the fire would reach his home, but
on returning found 1t in mass Of
smoking ashes. He hunted for two
|days for his wife and children and
then in despair searched among
the ruins of his house and found
the charred and disfigured bodies
in the mass of debris.
Fully 80 women and children ar
rived today, some of whom are be-
ing sent to eastern points, where it
is their desire to go. The problem
sof supplying the men with work
seems to be very difficult task,
