THE DOUrIA DISSOLVED.

The ukase of the czar dissolving the douma has brought to a crisis the tempestuous affairs of the Rus sian empire. For months the con- fiict between the Russian people represented by the douma and the aristocracy represented by the cabi- net has been waged, with the czar on the side of the cabinet. It was a foregone conclusion that either the government or the people must gain the upper hand, and it indicates a spirit of desperation on the part of government that it has been found necessary to disperse the representa- tives of the people. As stated in the most recent dispatches, this action of the czar places Russia back sev- eral years into the black despotism that prevailed at the close of the war with Japan. Kansas City Jour nal.

RIGHT KIND OF FOLK TALK

A dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo, announces "that the fight is on, the governor declares, in regard to the lid issue, if the saloon men wish to wage it, and he also declares that there can be no other ultimate result than defeat for them defeat which not only means that they can not open on Sunday. but that they will be driven from business if they persist in their efforts to do so, and forced to give way to men who, even though engaged in selling liquor, have sufficient respect for the law to comply with it's require ments."
 Those engaged in the saloon busi- ness should not defy the law, and when they do in Governor Folks domain he will teach them a lesson.

Japan has found one way to get rid of the railroad lobby. The gov ernment bought six railroads last week. Kansas City Star. In this respect Japan is one ahead of the United States in true progress It will be found in due time that the only way to settle the railway trouble in this country will be to buy the roads and operate them.

THE ROCKEFELLER POINT OF
 VIEW.

It is quite in keeping with the character and achievements of John D. Rockefeller that he should at tempt to stigmatize the several suits instituted against Standard Oil as being inspired by spite and poli- tics" As far as one distinguished for moral strabismus can be said to have an honest view, it is not i'm probable that Rockefeller really be- lieves what he says. That a man like President Roosevelt could be actuated by an honest motive solely to serve the people may be candidly regarded as clear outside of the Rockefeller comprehension.
 And therein lies the whole meat of the present conditions. The peo. pie are no longer going to pay any heed to the Rockefeller standard of action. The doctrine that they all

He is nice, christian gentleman, you know, and says he is in favor of temperance, ane I want to compel him to toe the temperance mark if l can possibly do so.

AMENDMENT NO. 8 WOULD NOT
 INCREASE THE POLL TAX.

The Arkansas Gazette discussing the proposed amendment to the con stitution. No. 8, which is to be voted on at the coming state election and should be adopted, says:
 The only changes that would result from the adoption of Amend ment No. 8 would be that the legis- lature would be authorized to in crease the state tax for schools from 2 mills to 3 mills and the counties would be authorized to increase their school taxes from mills to ' mills. The per capita tax would not be changed. Amendment No. 8 pro- poses to make article IA, section 3, of the constitution read as follows:
 The general assembly shall pro- vide by general laws for the support of common schools by taxes, which shall never exceed in any one year three mills on the dollar on the tax able property of the state, and by an annual per capita tax of one dol lar to be assessed on every male inhabitant of this state over the age of twenty-one years. Provided, the general assembly may by general law authorize school districts to levy
  by vote of the qualified electors of such district a tax not to exceed seven mills on the dollar in any one year for school purposes. Provided further, that no such tax shall be appropriated to any other purpose nor to any other district than that for which it was levied
 Thus we see the amendment says with perfect clearness that an annual per capita tax of one dollar shall be levied for the schools, and neither the state nor the counties are authorized to increase this tax. This $l tax is the present tax, not new one"

AN UGLY SHOWING OF GREED


 The plainest fact developed at the Ice trust hearing was also the most condemnatory. It proved that con- panies in the pooling agreement willfully kept certain ice plants in idleness and only partially utilized the capacity of others at the very time when they advanced the price of ice on the plea of shortage in supply.
 That method of procedure was a palpable attempt to profit legally by their own wrongdoing.
 A famine, or death of any nec- essary commodity, is great calami- ty when caused by ungovernable conditions.
 Commercial greed can show in no more ugly form than when a like public distress is the result of a deliberate plan to extort gains. Kansas City Times.
 It is reported that in Philadelphia the manufacturers of ice actually destroyed hundreds of tons in order to maintain high prices. These men should not be permitted to have any ice when they are sent to hell, as they should be.

THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
Kind Friends Gather to Lay the Mortal
 Remains of Mrs. 5. H. Allen Away.


 One more flower strewn mound oue more home with the light gone out, for at five p. m. Satur, day. Leila, the beloved wife of s. H. Allen, was laid to rest.
 The funeral services were con. ducted by the Rev.W W.L.Compere, now of Waldron, but we'll known as former resident of Mena. and warm personal friend of the family.
 MT. Compere spoke as one in. spired with Gods great love for the one called home, for the bereaved family and friends, and for ali humanity. He spoke tenderly, feelingly of the beauti-. full character of the departed; portrayed in pleasing colors the. homo she had gone to and wouldl help prepare for the loved oness who would follow, and plead with the bereaved mourners not to dwell uoon their loss, but instead s 10 think of her great gain. He paid a touching tribute to true :. 1 friendship, spoke earnestly oi its ! lasting qualities and declared ! that while one may have lew warm. true friends here they : would be multiplied by thousands | over there. He spoke with tender athos of the joys of the tn. trammelled soul on entering the home over there, and said that the joys of this life, no matter how pleasurab'e they may be,
 were as notatng compared to the joys awaiting the true christian , soul in lbe life to come.
 Althoagh 1t was clear that the .close assotiatasn and warm a'- Ifectior7 efistITg between Mr 5 Compere and the loved one gone : and the remaining faembcfs of } the sadly bereaved family Ca sseA l 1t 10 be trying task for him to r speak, yet his whole discourse < was comforting. encouraging aud
 uplifting; calculated to help' 3 those who mourned m ost keenly, 1 but not without hope to have the ] Q strength to bear their loss with ! christian fortitude.
