What is Ownership.

Stewardship is not ownership, was
the burden OF the talk of Bishop
Ingram in Trinity church, New York
That church is at the head of Wall
Street, and most of the Bishops audit
ors were from Wall Street. In Law,
the Bishop was a little mixed. There
is in law a vast difference between
stewardship and ownership; but in
morals he was right. Private property
is the result of social compact. 1t is
artificial. 1t is not matter of relig-
ion or morality, but of compact. Yet
all solemn and general compacts must
be respected. Coed faith requires this.
But bad faith on the part of the hoId-
er, or owner, Of private property is,
and always has been, ground of for
fixture. Bad faith is treason to the
public. What the good Bishop meant
was that ownership being a matter of
compact, amounted virtually to stew
ardship-to the rightfui use of private
property for the benefit of the COM
munity. Property is like gun, when
used in self defense only, its use is
lawful and just. But when used to
destroy his neighbor as means of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to mere revenge,
such use is criminal; and in that case
forfeited is the only remedy. This is
the old doctrine of deodands.

The President has new come 20 the
state of declining to talk about the
third term, bat is evidently delight
ed'' with the persistency of his admir-
ers. 1t is suggested he would like to
see the Republican National Conven-
ton deadlock on several candidates,
and then nominate him in sheer
despair of agreement on anyone else.
Would he take chances on overcoming
the strong opposition in his own party
to third term and go back on his
plighted word? are the questions wor.
rying most of the Republican leaders.

Prices Here and Abroad.

While prices here are rapidly advahc-
ing it is comforting to know that in
the Panama Canal zone there is a re-
duction in the price of various articles.
This interesting Information is given
in the Canal Record" the official
organ Of. the government of the 18TH
mias Canal zone. For instance, gran
ulated sugar in five pound sacks in
August was % cents, now it is 20
cents yellow sugar was a cents, now
it is cents; jamaican cigars have
fallen in price from Is to 10 cents
Currants that were II cents now can
be obtained for 10 cents per pound.
The best grade of Central American
coffee. formerly 26 cents per pound,
is now "a cents. and another grade
that was % cents has been reduced to
Fl cents per pound. Why prices are
declining in Panama and advancing
here, the editor of the Canal Rec
ord'' does not venture to say. Can it
be possible that the Sugar Trust, the
Tobacco Trust, and the other corpora
tions that plumber the people of the
United States by virtue of the trust

trust loving politicians refuse to re-
wise. be selling cheaper in the Canal
zone to the Jamaica negroes and other
foreign laborers than to our own peo-
pie? We pause for a reply.

to divert the minds of the voters from
the real facts. He charged the ex-
governor with being the man most
responsible for the temporary reign
of the fugitive Taylor, and declared
that Bradley might have averted the
great calamity, the assassination Of
William Goebel, who once did him
great favor, if he had communicated
to him instead of to those later
charged with completely in that mon
strous crime, the fact that his life
was being threatened by men brought
to Frankfort by Taylor, Powers and
others.

CHICAGO CLAIMS
 CONVENTION

Washington, Dee. 1l.-Althoueh the Democratic national. committee will not begin it's session until tomOrrOW, it is stated on what is considered good authority that the national con- vention will be awarded to Chicago. St. Louis, Cincinnati. Louisville. St. Paul, Minneapolis. Denver, Atlantic City and Long Branch \. J., are also entered in the race. but it is thought that they have already been outdis-
 tanced by the western metropolis. Several of the committeeman have already arrived for the meeting, which will be held at the Arlington hotel.
 According to all indications drawn from the attitude of the committee men now here, there is likely to be little opposition to Bryan in the con- vention as the choice of the party for the presidential nomination. The tar if question will likely be the parao- mount issue of the campaign, the Democratic leaders believing that the time is now ripe for an attack on the protective policy.
 Tomorrow's meeting will likely be a real test of the strength between the Bryan and anti-Bryan elements in the committee, although the latter are ap- parently foredoomed to defeat.
 Friends of Chairman Thomas Tag gart declare that if Bryan is to be the nominee the Indiana man does not desire to again serve as chairman of the national committee, but that if Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland is to be put up as candidate for the chair manship Taggart might be candi- date against him, and perhaps force the selection of third man accept able to both MT. Bryan and the com mittee The name of former United States Senator Pettigrew has been as a possible candidate.
 Much opposition to Mayor Tom Johnson as national chairman has de- veloped among the committeeman and party leaders. Some of the commit teemen are strong in the sentiment that Johnson is not the man for the place. They declare that while he has been successful in politics and is Democratic in many things, he is un-Democratic in others, and that on- ly thoroughbred should be select ed to fill the important position of chairman of the new committed
 It appears now to be the purpose to hold Taggart prospeetively in the race with a view of forcing Bryan to abandon Johnson for some man more acceptable to the members of the national committee.

Tho Great White Shark.

The man eating nsh par excellence is the great white shark. It A otherwise known by the name of man eater. Oc. easionally specimens are seen on both coasts of the United States, though its more customary habitat is in tropical waters. This frightful creature attains . length of nearly forty feet, and it is able to swallow | man whole. This fact is proved by an experiment which sailors are fond of making when such shark is captured. The skull being preserved. they amuse themselves by crawling one after another through the distended jaws. It would be unsafe to do this, however, when the head has been freshly cut off, because under such conditions the jaws will snap together herceIy for some time afterward if anything is placed between them. The skull of a big shark, by the way, is al- ways salable owing to the demand by museums and curiosity hunters. A young sea lion weighing hundred pounds has been found in the stomach of white shark.

The inexperi- enced citizen who tries to look at some thing with such glass Is sure to close one eye. He can't look at the magnif1ed object with the other eye opened, as can the jeweler.

OFFICIAL BOARD
 HELD MEETING
Members of Hawley Memorial Church Held Interesting Business
 Meeting at Church Building.

The official board of Hawley Mem- orial church met last night and or- ganized by electing w. A. Lowe, chair man; V. A. Gresham, secretary and Robert Allen, treasurer.
 The board unanimously decided to put into effect the resolution brought before the late conference held at Malvern, by the laymen, namely; That the stewards not only collect the money for ministerial support, as heretofore, but also the collections ordered by the conference, thus re- lieving the pastor of some of his many duties.
 The roll of members was called and each steward received a list of names. Each member is to be called on to assess himself for the yaer for the support of the ministry and the claims ordered by the conference.
 Indebtedness on building was freely discussed. While the church made rapid progress along all lines during the past year, circumstances were such that it was deemed best not to push the matter, but the board feeling that the time is now ripe to take this up requested the pastor to present the claim of Hawley 10 each member and to the city also; and ill presenting the matter not only call attention to honoring the memory of the beloved pastor for whom the church was named, but also that Hawley Mem orial is a great factor in the up- building of the moral and spiritual interest of the city of Pine Bluff
