ALI, WORKING HARD
Campaign for 1908 Meeting Will Be Hottest in History of Arkansam Trayelers-Picture of the ''Trav- s,sr.'

Eureka Springs, June 7.-Every regular train is crowded with trav- cling men, their wives and friends. The Little Rock contingent arrived at g o'clock Wednesday night on a special train and the Pine Bluff and Fort Smith specials came in at noon yesterday. Each brought bands and each has established headquarters.
 The fight between the three for the 1908 meet, which will culmi- nate at the business meeting Satur- day, is now on, and it promises to be the hottest contest in the his tory of the Arkansaw Travellers.

Pennsylvania Starts Boom.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 6.-United States Senator Knox was endorsed for president, John o. sheatz of Phil adelphia for state treasurer, and a platform endorsing the policies and administration of President Roosevelt was adopted at today's session of the State Republican Convention. Sena- tor Knox was not present, his inter- ests being in charge of his colleague, Senator Penrose. Mr. Penrose will probably head the delgation of Penn sylvania to the Republican National Convention.
 The platform endorses United States Senator Knox for the presiden- cy and presents him to the Republi- cans of other states as Pennsylvania candidae for the presidency before the national convention of 1908.

SPRINKLE
 THE STREETS

Many complaints were filed today by merchants and others against tho "sprinkling man." The high wind of today has made it very disagreeab1e to pedestrians, especially in the down town districts. The dust was very an moving and at times binding. When the streets need sprinkling it seems that they are never sprinkled. They needed it badly this morning, but it was nearly noon before the sprinkling wagons were sent out to settle tho dust and then it was not done very well.

These are considerations which make university in the capital. pro- perly constituted and organized, one of great attraction and value to cer- tain classes of students. In a reflex way, the instructors, who should be the most learned and competent men of the day, pursuing their several lines of investigation and study, will be constantly furnishing to those en- gagged in these national and interna- .tional activities the best thought of the world. This reaex actio is as im- portant from a national standpoint, as the direct benefit to students from q personal standpoint.
 'Tn these respects, University in Washington properly constituted and equipped, will not conflict with the work of other educational institu- tions, but will be pursuing specific and separate field of labor, and one , which rightfully appeals to the sup port of all the citizens of this nation In bis letter on this subject, to 1 which reference has already been made, Justice Day was no less en- Ithasiastic. He says:
 "I have long shared the feeling that there should be at the National Capital one of the strongest and best institutions of higher education. No city in the country can rival Wash ington in especial advantages for such a university.
 "The opportunities found here for the student in any branch of learning are unsurpassed in the assistance of Ifered by museums and libraries of the most comprehensive character And, above all, would place the inestim- able privilege which residence here
 gives to student in the opportunity to observe the workings of his gov
 ernment in the making and admins
 tration of the laws. The student of
 law will here find an opportunity to
 hear the best legal talent of the coua- ltry in it's court of final resort, and Imay hear the leading statesmen of the nation in debate in the Senate and House. Miss Edna Strauss is in the capita

BOOMING THE
 WASHINGTON J. Justices D. J. Brewer and
 w. R. Day Talk on Estab-
 lishment of Proposed Ed
 ucational Institution. INTEREST IN PLANS Washington Is an Ideal Place for New l SclDol-Maay Opportunities for 1 Students There-Center of Internal l Activities. |

Washington, June 7.-UncOnsclOuS- ly assimilating the ethics of good citi- |zenship while in pursuit of learning along other lines, students at na- tional university in the capital of the country have advantages that are not enjoyed by those of universities situ- may be equipped. This is the opinion of Justice David J. Brewer and Justice William R. Day of the Supreme Court of the United States.
 Tn letters addressed to the trustees of the George Washington university, whic his making determined effort to establish itself on the plane as outlined, the two distinguished jurists agree that in this city are to be found advantages for study not found in any other city in the country. Justice Day ends his letter by saying:
 "He will carry away not only the learning of the books, but the knoWl- edge which comes from a near view of 1
 his Government in actual operation, which should promote his patriotic interest in his countrys welfare, making of him better citizen as we'll las scholar.
 The Supreme Bench takes a deep Interest in the welfare of the George Washington University, for the reason that two of it's distinguished members are of the faculty of that institution. iThese are Justice Harlan, who is pro lessor of American constitutional law ,and Justice Brewer, who is pro- lfessor of international law. The lat ter, in voicing his endorsement of the university's appeal to patriotic Amer
 jeans for subscriptions to an en- |dowment that will permit it to realize Tits ambitions, said:
 "In suggesting the peculiar condi- tions of the George Washington Uni Iversity and the grounds upon which T it may appeal to the support of the |whole nation, these matters impress jme much.
 "First. The business of the nation is carried on at the capital, and this refers not merely to it's political ac- tiyities, but also to those of a scien- tific character. Here are the head quarters of the various departments by which in all directions the Gov |ernment is administered, and the student who is attracted to the sub ject of governmental administration will find no better place for prosecut- ling his studies than in the center Of these activities.
 Again, Washington is not merely the center of the internal activities of the nation, it is also tlse place where are considered and determin- ed the relations and dealings between this and all other nations. All diplo- matic mattersA in which the United States is interested find their way to Washington for solution. All ques- tions Involving our business relations
 with other nations and their citizens are here presented So that ths stud ent who has a thought of making Intern ational law his study and work in life will have the closest insight into the actual workings of that law as this nation interprets and recog-
