Politics i'm Arkansas.

Down i'll ''Arkansaw," Attorney Gen
eral Kirby, who is seeking the demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination, has
announced his platform. Among other
planks it contains the following:
Resentment of the encroachment of
the federal government on the rights
and powers of the state and interior
ence of the United States courts with
the jurisdiction of these states.
"Favoring the passage of all laws
tending to create good roads.
Prosecution of trusts and monopOl
les.
Condemnation of the RIGHTEOUSNESS
in the affairs of the government OF
the state by the railroads and othe,
powerful organizations of capital.
advancing every interest in the
state that looks to its upbuilding,
lieving they should be encouraged and
given the square deal, but insist tn
state and its people shall be given tn
square deal first.
above all, an honest administration
of public affairs.
Election of United States senators
by the direct vote of the people.
Officials are but the Representatives
of the people, and it is their duty
ascertain the wishes of their cOnstitu
ents and see that they are gratifiej
and filled"
That platform has the right ring t,
it, The state issues are made para
mount-hOnesty in public service, an
preservation of states rights.
Arkansas presents a lesson to Hi
nois. In Arkansas it seems that can
didates for governor expect the peOpl,
to be the controlling factor in nOmina
lions and elections. In Illinois tn.
professional politicians seem to con
troll. \ republican in Illinois wnt
wants to be governor, doesn't stan,
any chance unless he has the wir'
pullers with him. Right now candi
dates and prospective governatoria
candidates are jockeying around try
| ing to get the politicians lined up.
Some day the people of Illinois ar,
going to wake up and do the nomina;

The G. \. Il.

A statement issued at Saratoga
where the national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic is in
session, gives the total membership of
the Grand Army as 222,000. OF these
the organization loses annually , per
cent The decrease in membership is
rapid, therefore. and it will not be
many years until the Grand Army of
the Republic will have passed away
The Saratoga report estimates that
the organization will exist perhaps ~
years longer.
The organization has been an in
spiration TO patriotism since its eX-
istence. That it will be in our midst
quite number of years to come is a
source of sincere qualification. After
it has passed its memory will live as

All Come From Oandruff, Which is

Split hair, hard hair, lusterless hair
brittle hair falling hair, all owe their
origin to dandruff, which is caused by
measly little microbe that burrows
into the scalp, throwing up the cuticle
into dandruff scales and sapping the
vitality of the hair at the root, causing
the several diseased conditions of the
hair till it finally falls out. Modern
science has discovered a remedy to
destroy the dandruff microbe, which is
