"MIGHTY GOOD READING. ,
What the Casa Democrat Thinks of Dona-
 gheY's Opening Speech.

Mighty good reading That is what Hon. Geo. w. Donaghey s speech is. MT. Donaghey is can didate before the democratic pri- maries for governor of Arkansas, and made his opening address at Morrilton last Monday. While this paper is espousing the cause of no one ill particular, we reserve the right to commend or criticise any thing any of the candidates may say or do. And there are many things in the address of MT. Dona ghey that are commendable in the highest terms; in fact the entire ad- dress makes excellent reading and offers much food for thought. Among the many good thing. MT. Donaghey said were the following:
 II wear no mans collar. l pro- pose to give every man a square deal on his merits as man and citizen.
 regard the lease system of handling the states convicts as an evil in every way. It IS relic ot barbarism. It is in conflict with the claims of honest labor.
 Make it cheaper (for the rail roads) to have good tracks than to pay for injured employees and the tracks will be safe, and the travel ing public will be protected, and the lives of tens of thousands of railroad employees will be guarded. If the state cannot do something to protect the lives of its citizens, it might as we'll go out of the govern. ing business. "
 I am unalterably opposed to the trusts and conspiracies against trade whose object and result is the alarming enrichment of the few and the enslavement of the many, which makes the millionaire richer and the masses of the people poorer.
 I believe in trusting the people and therefore favor the submission to the people, at the earliest date practicable of an amendment to our constitution providing for the ini- tiative and referendum.
 q am the son of a confederate soldier, and I would be unworty of my fathers name if I should not favor the brave confederates who offered themselves a sacrifice to their country. Let us make their declining years comfortable by lib- eral pensions, and let 1t never be said that any confederate soldier in Arkansas was neglected while he lived or forgotten after he is dead. ;

SILENCE.

A young mother had many times told her four-year-old daughter Eth el that whenever she was in doubt of a thing being right or wrong to stop and listen for a little voice which would tell her what to do.
 One day Ethel had been very naughty, and her mother said to her: 'Ethel, how often have I told you to stop and listen for the little voice?"
 Ethel stood very straight and answered: "Well, mamma, I did stand right still and listen, but I did not hear a sound"

ENDORSES ACTION OF COURT
G. D. Sowell Comments Abolishing Office
 of Road Commissioner.

S U. SOWCll NOLuluCAOS 11OOAAoAAhS SAASS
 of Road Commissioner.
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I want to compliment the levying court for the wise act of abolishing the office O. road commissioner. It is the county judges business to appoint good men for overseers and we, the taxpayers, do not need the third man i'll the road and bridge work.
 Of all the economic questions which have interested the Ameri- can people none is of more vital importance than the question of good roads, and none has received so little attention. This is indeed strange when we consider the net work of highways and the amount of labor expended, but on the coun- try roads, the most important ave- nues of traffic, so essential to the prosperity of the farmers, the farm CTS actually try to see how little they can do, and still satisfy the overseer. It is mud when it rains, dust when it is dry, and projecting rocks in every place.
 Is it not time we turned over a new leaf Actually blowing up the center of road, raising a mound of loose dirt two or three feet high, and this is called road building. Yet this is done year after year. They don't seem to care what re- suits they produce, but only that they get credit for the time and the tax is worked out.
