INTEREST IN NORMAL GROWING
Conway is Going After Big
 School in Earnest.
full Campaign for Funds Mass Meeting Held.

Beginning Monday morning, the people of Conway, working under the direction of committee of the Board of Trade, have begun a vigorous campaign to secure the location of the Arkansas state nor nal school in this city. Canvass ing committees have been at work for the past three days to secure subscriptions, and the work done by them has been very satisfactory to the executive committee.
 The state normal board will meet at Little Rock next Monday to re ceive bids from the various towns for the location of the school
 A mass meeting was held at the conrt house Tuesday night and the large hall was crowded with people. The meeting was presided over by G. w. Donaghey. Prof. H. $. Traylor, assistant superintendent of public instruction, addressed the audience with reference to tho ben- efts which the normal would bring to the town 1t which it will be lo- cated. He stated that he had, in connection with State Superinten- dent ]. ]. Doyne, made a careful investigation of the normals in the various states of the union, and that, without exception, they were the most largely attended and the most popular institutions m the state. Prof. Traylor predicted that the enrolment would reach at least 1000 just as soon as the buildings and equipment to care ior that number of students could he pro- vided. He believed that senti- ment of almost the entire state was favorable to the location of the school here, and that 1t only re- mained for the people of Conway to put forth the proper effort to SC, cure 1t.
 Prof. G. w. Newton, who is conducting the Peabody institute for this county, followed with a short but eloquent speech in which he stated that his sympathies were strongly with Conway in securing the school. Enthusiastic talks were also made by Pres. s. Ander- son and Prof l.. C. Perry of Hen drix College, and Prof. C. l.. O. Daniel of Little Rock. Music was furnished by the A. O. U. w. band.

Conway and secure the right-of- way giving for this stock in the proposed road. He also advised that we make this local corpora tion, the Beebe and Conway Rail way Co.,, and by incorporating it as such the question of securing money to build the road would be an easy proposition. There is no question but what there are mil lions of dollars in the east waiting for some avenue of investment. Now we have only to show these people that we have good thing in order to get them to take hold of it. That Conway will help us out there is no question of doubt. Let's strike the iron now while 1t is hot.

BEEBE INTERESTED IN ROAD
Citizens Organize to Secure Line
 to Conway.
Railroad Promoters Address Meeting at Beebe and Claim Road will be
 Paying Investment.

Beebe, the progressive little city forty miles east ot Conway, on the Iron Mountain railway, has become intensely interested in the project to secure a railway from that place to Conway. In order to forward the movement systematl- cally a commercial club was organ ized in Beebe last week, at which addresses on the subject were made by railroad promoters. The Beebe News says Of the meeting
 After the business meeting ot the club was finished MT. w. M. Cravens, a railroad promoter, who, in company with MT. George Mills had took a trip over the pro- nosed railroad route from here to Conway, was called upon tor a sneech. He stated that he had examined the route from here to Fl Paso, also he had examined the coal bed and rock quarry ln the vicinity of Fl Paso. Further than Fl Paso he had not gone, but he found sufficient material in the short time.he had for inspec- tion, to make a railroad a paying investment, provided those resid- mo on the route would give en- enlargement in the way of taking stock in the proposed route. His idea was that we appoint com rnittee of two or three good men and let them go over the route to

NEW TRAIN SUNDAY MAYBE
Change of Schedule Goes into
 Effect Then.
Railway Company May Anticipate Recent Law by Installing Additional Pas
 senger Service at Once.

Once more we announce that there Is probability of the new accommodation train being put into service on the Fort Smith railroad within the next few days. A new time card goes into effect Sunday. June g, and it is again reported that the additional pas senger train may be included in this schedule. An item ip Tues days Gazette says:
 Superintendent J. M. Walsh of the central division of the Iron Mountain has returned to his headquarters at Van Buren from St. Louis, where he and other traffic officials have been working on a new time card which will go into effect June g. The new time card will necessitate changes in the running time of trains be- tween Little Rock and Fort Smith. It is also probable that another day train will be inaugurated. "
 The law requiring the new train does not become effective until August %, not having received the signature ot the governor un til May 30, and providing ninety days time before going into effect. The local schedule was changed about a month ago, and 1t was re- ported then that the additional train would be put on, but it was not done.

COURT MAY BE POSTPONED
Judge Lankford will Probably Change it to August on Account of Late CEops.


 On account of crops being from two to three weeks late, and farm- CTS badly behind with their work, Judge Eugene Lankford may post pone the July term of the Fanlk- ner circuit court from the second Monday in July to the third Mon- day in August, which will be the next available date, should the court be postponed. He has writ ten to Circuit Clerk A. M L.edbet- ter to this effect and asked his opinion as to whether postpone ment would be advisable. MT. Ledbetter is consulting with farm- CTS and will advise the judge with- in a few days, and definite an- nouncement as to whether the court will be postponed will doubt less be made in next weeks Log Cabin Democrat.
 Two years ago, when the crops were in a condition almost si milar to the present, Judge G. M. Chap line postoned the court to the third Monday in August, an1 the busy farmers were very grateful for the change.

BENTON WANTS THE NORMAL
Reported That 5000 Has Been Raised
 Russellville Also in Race.

If Conway secures the location of the state normal, her people will doubtless know that they have had race. Reports reaching this city from Benton this week indicate that that place is boiling over with enthusiasm in getting up funds to secure the normal The Board of Trade, 1t is under stood, have plated an addition to the town and are offering a lot in this addition with each subscrip- ton, It is said that their sub scriptions have reached about S6O, ,OOO.
 Russellville, 1t is learned, is al so preparing to make a stiff fight for the normal. The citizens there have been working up subscrip- tions for over month and have a fine list.
 Whether any other town will be in the race is not known here, but the chances, of course, are that several others will apply. If Lit tie Rock is making an effort to se- cure the normal, they have so far succeeded in concealing the fact from the outside world, and neith- CT has anything been heard from Fort Smith.

NO cHANaE 1N PRESIDENT.

TN his address at Indianapolis President
i Roosevelt discussed the question OF dealing
with public service corporations and large aggrs-
cations Of wealth. lie pointed out how the duties
that confront the Americans of today are as inn
portant as was the call to battle during the civil
war. The great subject before the people, ac-
cordine to the President is an industrial one.
Those who fancy that the President will take
backward step on his policy in dealing with the
railroad and other immense corporations will
find no comfort in his latest deliverance.
The movement to regulate the railroad cor
porations, Mr.. Roosevelt declares, has come to
stay. This is acknowledged by the leading rail-
road authorities Of the country but to them
j. is a question of just how far this railroad con-
troll is to extend. Every law. the President adds,
that has been passed by Congress in this con-
nection is a step in the right direction The suits
brought against the corporations for violation
OF the law the president emphasizes were not
only warranted, but required by the facts. They
were suits in the interest Of the people. The
problem the president rightly says, is to pre-
serve the rights of property; and these can be
preserved only if we remember that they are in
less jeopardy from the socialist and anarchist
than from the predatory man Of wealth.
This latter remark Of the Presidents, which
is the keynote Of his policies, is what has stirred
the anger of the predatory men of wealth against
the Chief Magistrate and has started them in
frantic effort to destroy the Presidents popu-
larity, to defeat any candidate for the Presiden-
tial nomination that he may favor
The predatory man OF wealth until very re-
Gently, in the minds Of the mass of the people,
has been a great fnancier, captain of industry
whose word was law and whose wish must be
obeyed. The President has destroyed the preda-
tory man Of wealth as popular hero; he had
torn him from his pedestal and placed him in a
class Of enemies Of society far more to be feared
than the Anarchist or the Socialist
It is great tumble for the predatory wealthy
men, and no wonder they are fierce in their op-
position to anything that bears the Roosevelt
stamp.
But, happily, the class OF which Mr.. Roosevelt
speaks is not numerous. The strong arm OF the
government is after them. The President has
the support Of the great mass of the business
men, the manufacturers and the laborers who
have suffered from the tactics OF the limited class

HOW THEY DEALT WITH THEM.

HERE is fair sample Of Democratic fnancier-
4 4 ing, showing how the Democratic party
has protected the peoples interests when it has
had to deal with the public service corporations
Take the settlements Of 1902 and 1908 taxes OF the
Public Service Corporations as an example. Ten
cases in 1902 taxes show an aggregate of SI2,-
s3Is7 due the city from the Public Service Cor
poratons and settled for S367Soo with net loss
to the city Of $S,653S7. Ten cases in 1903 taxes
show an aggregate OF SI9,I7o7o due the city from
the Public Service Corporations and settled for
$74I447 with net loss to the city Of SII75o23.
In summary made in the tax Office for the
dse OF the Law and Finance Committee OF the
present City Council before the late Legislature,
"A cases of contested and compromised taxes Of
Public Service Corporations were reported be-
ginning with 1902 taxes. The face OF the taxes
contested was S67,asr.35 which were settled both
in and out Of court for $252445S, showing net
loss to the city Of S42,oo677.
Where is there a private individual that has
been able to settle with the city for 81 I-ac on the
dollar, Just one-thrd of the face of their tax?
The loss Of two-thirds is the peoples loss.
Thanks to the efforts Of Mr.. White, chairman
Of the Finance Committee, and Mr. Ross chair
man Of the Law Committee, Of the present Re
publican Council, the taxes of the Public Service
Corporations were raised and fixed by the late
General Assembly and an end put TO the Demo-
cratic system Of compromising with the corpora

I don't know. nor care. perhaps it is.
But Democracy stands for opposition

that Republicanism IN this contest
