 ation for county general purposes there was much debate and, despite the ae- ceptance of Judge Folbre's report, which recommended the levy of five mills, there was strong sentiment in the court to reduce the taxes. There was several motions and substitutes and much discussion with reference to this matter and finally the body settled on levy of 3-4 mills for county gen. eral purposes. A quarter of mill was levied for the sinking fund, the bond interest fund got quarter of mill, the town of Forrest City five mills, while the school and state taxes went down according to law.

 The undersigned in obedience to the requirements of Section l4ea of Kirby s Digest of the Statutes. submits the following report

The Presidential Race.

In Europe it is 1.-THE king Is dead!
Long live the king" Here a president
has hardly taken the oath of Office un-
til the Warwicks are arranging for his
successor. 1t is fascinating work, for
the presidency of this puissant repub-
lie is the greatest political Office known
among men. President making comes
as near being perpetual motion as any
human performance can be. It is now
rife, not only here in the capital Of the
nation, where politics is the resounding
theme of every tongue, but all over the
land. There are at the present mo-
ment at least half a dozen men whose
friends are active and enthusiastic in
working up a sentiment which will
bring presidential nominations. In
Missouri county conventions are al
ready passing resolutions indorsing
William Jennings Bryan, who is now
on the other side of the globe. The
friends Of William Randolph Hearst
are also working like beavers, as we
say out west. On the Republican side
the boomers are active in behalf of
Messrs. Taft, Foraker, Shaw and Fair
banks. Out In Iowa it is generally
conceded that If Governor Cummins
wins his third gubernatorial nomina-
ton he will at once become a full
1edged presidential candidate. The
chances are that if he controls the state
convention it win place him in the
field for the presidency In the mean
time others are mentioned sporadically,
as the doctors would express it.
Among these are Secretary Of State
Root, Postmaster General Cortelyou
and Senator Robert M La Toilette
Back of all these rises the figure Of
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. Recently
he celebrated his SEVENTEEN birthday
anniversary, or, more properly speak
ing, the house of representatives cele
brated it for him in royal style True,
be is seventy, but "age cannot wither
him nor custom stale his infinite va
riety." He's good for several years yet.
and, though he poohpoohs the idea Of
his presidential candidacy, he Is GER
tainly among the probabilities Tor the
Republican nomination. II he would
say the word. he would be among the

foremost runners at once. The old
Roosevelt guard still believe that cir
cumstances may compel him to once
more enter the arena, Notwithstanding
his positive assertion to the contrary
on the night Of the election and several
repetitions Of the same.
In addition to all these there are di-
yers dark horses some of them very
dark champing their bits and Juggling
at their tethers in their stalls. 1t would
aot perhaps be overstating the case to
say that there are a score of these,
Republicans and Democrats, and when
3ne remembers James Il. Polk, Frank
lin Pierce, Rutherford B. Hayes, Ben
jamin Harrison and James A. Garfield,
the dark horse in presidential noni-
mating convention is not to be sneezed
at. He has won five out of thirty races
and it will be no surprise if he should
win in the next one.
There are many men who would
make tiptop presidents if they could
be elected, some Of whom never
spend one moment thinking about it,
and the strange part of it is that such
men have one chance out of six of be-
ing sent. to the White House as chief
magistrate of the proudest and most
powerful nation under the sun. Fate
plays fantastic tricks with men and
only the stupid will be amazed if some
man now comparatively unknown sue
ceeds Theodore Roosevelt March 4,
1909. Public opinion is in a revolu-
tionary condition and anything may
happen in the way Of president max
ing.

place?

An Able Democrat.

One Of the most valuable REINFORCE
ments for the thin line Of Democrats in
the house is Hon. Charles A. Towne of
New York He is no stranger to Wash
ington, having served term in the
house as a Republican from Minnesota
and fragment of term in the senate
as a Minnesota Democrat. He now re-
turns as Tammany Democrat and
has received a most cordial welcome
from both Democrats and Republicans,
for he is personally popular every
where. There is not an ADLER man in
either branch of congress, and most
men count him in the list of presiden-
tial possibilities. His talents, charac-
ter and varied experience will be OF
great value to his party and to his
country He is member of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, one Of the
four big committees of the house.

Always War.


Not long ago the house. of representa-
tives listened to a most warlike speech
from Mr.. Bntler Of Pennsylvania, a
Quaker Speaker Cannon, who was
born and reared in that faith, sat right
in front Of Brother Butler and seemed
to enjoy his remarks-in fact, more
than once the Pennsylvania appeared
to be addressing his speech to the great
Illinoisan. thereby making a sort of ad
hominen argument The banner Of
peace was upheld by three men, Messrs.
Burton Of Ohio, Bartholdt of St Louis
and Johnson Of South Carolina. all Of
whom delivered eloquent addresses.
The facts of current history. however,
seem to be with Butler, for everybody
knows that every European nation is
straining its resources to increase its
armament by land and sea. So is Ja-
pan. So is China. So is the United
States. The arguments are all on the
side of peace, but the passions, am
billions and greed of mankind are on
the side of war. The chances are that
when Gabriel blows his horn he will
interrupt war somewhere. # he
doesn't he will have to be very particu-
lar in seizing the psychological moment
when all men are temporarily keeping
the peace.

Illustration Of the old dictum that re-
publics are ungrateful, for the Demo-
Gratis, one and all, have made a long

come into the Union Immediately and
to keep New Mexico and Arizona out
until they can come in separately. At
the present moment the Democrats of
the house by fiIibustering as much as
the rules allow are endeavoring to
force the conference committee on
statehood to report the statehood bill
with either the Burrows or the Foraker
amendment. The Burrows amendment
admits Oklahoma at once, while refer
ring the New Mexico-Arizona matter
to a plebiscite III the two territories.
The Foraker amendment would let
Oklahoma in Immediately without ref
erence to New Mexico and Arizona.
Really the two propositions mean the
same thing in the end, for there is not
the slightest chance that New Mexico
and Arizona will ever vote to come in
as one state. The real difference in the
two amendments is that the Foraker
amendment would let the Republican
house machine and the Beveridge
crowd in the senate down easier

On dit that majority Of the senate
