FOR DONAGHEY
Ben L. Griffin Says He Will Be the Next
 Governor.


 Governor.
 George w. Donaghey will get the Democratic nomination for governor next March as sure as he lives, until the time rolls round, !" said Ben l.. Griffin last night when interviewed by Gazette reporter. Understand me to say this on my own responsibility without refer ence to membership in my church, lodge or any other organization that I am a member of.
 II think MT. Donaghey should be nominated for the following reasons: He is a good business man and not politician. He has no alliance with any of the factions recently developed in the ranks of the Democratic party. He is a fine executor and has been success ful in all of his private affairs. He is progressive and would advance the states material interests more than probably any other available Democrat in Arkansas today.
The log cabin Democrat., 1907-09-26
Those who know MT. Donaghey

Those who know MT. Donaghey best are his strongest friends and supporters. Men like Captain w. w. Martin, Jo Frauenthal. G. w. Bruce and hundreds of others in Faulkner county who have lived right along by the side of him for over 30 years, are now enthusiastic for his cause. In fact, if there is a single citizen in his whole county against him, I have not heard of him.
 'Mr. Donaghey is liberal in both his opinions and his dealings with men; he loves his home, his peo- pie and his state. He is always a large contributor of his personal ef- forts or private means for the up- building of his town or state, and he is ever ready to contribute to the help of the poor.
 As citizen and a Democrat, expect to do for him in the race for governor all that I can. In doing this I shall consider that am rendering my state the best service that lies within my power. And l sincerely hope that every friend of mine will take the same
The log cabin Democrat., 1907-09-26

view that I do in supporting MT.
 Donaghey for governor. It mat ters not to me whether this friend of mine be a railroad worker, a merchant or a member of the Farm CTS Union, I think that he ought to express his honest convictions for the officers who have the man. agement of the affairs of the peo- pie.

New York. Jan. 2.-The stock mar

Atchison was the most active Of the

about two points for the day. This
stock shows that there must be I'M

that intrinsically it should sell at
higher prices.

school Revenues.

Lotus d. Conman, superintendent of
the Connersville schools. made yester-
day a notable address before the state
teachers association 1t was not so
much q plea for higher salaries-the
need for those he took for granted
as a demonstration OF the fact that
the school fund is each year being
robbed of thousands of dollars. Mr.
Cohman showesi conclusively that
there was large revenue available
for salaries and he urged that steps
be taken TO collect 1t. We have often
spoken OF the practice OF RENTING
fines. thereby cheating the school
fund OF needed revenue. This prac-
tice. the speaker showed. prevails
throughout the state. It is absolutely
illegal Some way should be found TO
deal with the judges and prosecuting
attorneys who thus neglect or refuse
to perform their legal duty. Other
losses result from the failure to &C
count for forfeitures and to compel
those who sell liquor to take out IL
censes. IL there were even reasonable
diligence in these directions we should
have money enough to pay higher SAL
aries.
But the speaker showed further that

is a disgrace to the state Of Indiana.
Mr.. Coftman spoke Of one city in
which the banks reported individual
deposits Of S10oo.00o Yet the sworn
tax statement showed that there was
only $4,000 of cash in the whole coun-
ty. In another city where there were
deposits OF $2.5o0.00o. the tax returns
showed only 100000 in actual cash
These are typical cases. 1t is esu-
mated that people owning four-ffths
of the wealth pay one-hfth of the
taxes and people owning one-ffth OF
the wealth pay four-hfths OF the
taxes.
Millions of dollars of property thus
escape taxation altogether. 1t is clear
that if we mad all the fines and forfeit
ures to which we are entitled, had ar

liquor sellers. and only fairly decent

CHICAGO LETTER

Chicago. Jan. 2.-WHEAT-A new
low record for the May option was es-
tablished this morning. The market
has ruled lower all during the session
with spasmodic rallies Of a quarter of
a cent now and then. The news was
rather bearish. Liverpool markets be-
ing quoted lower and the Argentine
shipments larger than expected. For
eign houses were fair sellers of wheat
in this market. The cash operators
have become more aggressive as TO
their position on the market The
close was weak with q decline Of about
a half a cent for the day.
CORN-Dull and narrow. The best
buyers Of the futures were by country
shippers who are unable to procure
cars to fiji their short contracts. The
market for the futures swayed back
and forth about one-quarter of a cent
closing practically unchanged from
Monday.
OATS-very dull with scarcely
enough trade TO call II a market. A
few buying orders were observable
for the May future at anything under
IS. outside of this. scalpers were the
only traders. Cash demand reported
good. sales to exporters about 100000
bushels.

A Pertinent Question.

Richard Harding Davis was talking
in New York about the life of a re-
porter.
"A hard life it is said he. TT is a
life that taxes all the energies. I don't
care how great a genius a man might
be, how resourceful, how persevering,
how alert. all those qualities would be
brought in play If the man turned re
porter. and on many a good story he
would still fall down at that.
Reporters are often snubbed. There
is a stupid type of man that likes to
snub them. Such man. a bank presi-
dent. once tried TO snub my friend
Jimmy Patterson.
The bank had gone through de-
falcation, and Jimmy went to interview
its head. But it's head was crusty. He
refused to be interviewed. He took
Jimmy by the arm and led him toward
the door.
Young man. he said. always
make it rule to mind my own bust
ness
Were you doing that said Jimmy,
when the cashier made his haul?'"

was a case of a workman who claim

eye in an explosion. There was no
doubt about the explosion, and there
was no doubt that the workman's eye
had been injured but the physician
claimed that he could see out of it,
while he stoutly declared that the
sight was utterly destroyed. The Judge
heard all the evidence pro and con.
Then, sending the workman from the

get a pair of spectacles with ordinary
clear glass for the left eye and with
red glass for the right
This, in the course of an hour or
so was done. Then the workman was
brought back and he was ordered to
put the queer glasses on. He put
them on and the Judge said to him:
Turn the blackboard around and
see if you can read what is written
THE man read the sentence without
hesitation, whereupon the Judge said

SHALL SISTERS BEG FOR THIsr

The annual report of St. Margarets
hospital, the only haven OF refuge for
the sick and injured of Hammond that
we ever hear OF, presents an interest
ing study in figures. When a grade
crossing accident happens we hear of
st. Margaret's. When a fireman falls
from a ladder or is burned in an at
tempt to save life, we hear Of St
Margarets, When poor, unfortun-
ate drops in the street burning with
fever or crazed with alcohol, we hear
of ST. Margaret's. When emergency
cases are to be treated. be the patient
rich or poor high or low, we hear of
st. Margarets.
st. Margaret's doors are always open.
Hammond as a corporation gives lit
tie and expects much of st. Margar-
ats.
st. Margaret's is supported for the
most part by charity yielded up, some
times unwillingly, at the solicitation of
the Sisters Of st. Francis.
The city leaves its load of manned
and sick at the door of st. Margaret's
and permits the Sisters OF st. Francis
to beg to take care of it.
There is an item in the annual report
Of St Margaret's that should be food
for thought. 1t deals with taxes. The
HOSPITAL has been assessed S1.198.61 for
improvements in Douglas street and
S1,16O46 for improvements in Clinton
street.
In the year just closed St. Margaret
took care of $50 patients More than
half of this number We're charity pa
tients. In other words, they were
treated and taken caro- of with money
