PRINCESS POSED AS MAN.
Kings Daughter Takes Medical De- gree and Enters the Red
 Cross Service.

New and interesting light has been thrown on the life story of a woman who passed so successfully as q man that she entered the Brit ish army as a medical officer.
 The case of this woman, who was known i'll the service as James Barry, NJ. D., is mentioned in 'HFifty Years of Public Service,o a book recently published by Maj. Arthur Griffiths.
 The story opens with sudden visit on Christmas eve to the house of Dr. John Barry's mother by a mysterious stranger, who eXhib- ited a signet ring and carried off the doctor, then a child, saying "It is the princess will Finding later that her father was George ", then prince regent, Dr. Barry called on him at Carlton house, and after an angry scene informed him that the shame of her birth had decided her to disguise her sex. Henceforth she would no longer be Joan FitzRoy, but James Barry. For the rest of her life a powerful clandestine influence was exerted on behalf of the pSeu- do man, who rose to the position of inspector general of the military hospitals.
 joan took her medical degree at Edinburgh, her true sex never be. ing suspected, and received a post in Cape Colony. Here a remark able series of adventures began.
 She made love to a handsome Dutch girl, of whom another of ficer, Lieut.. Mannering, was deep ly enamored. Dr. Barry actually courted and won her. Afterwards the disguised woman taunted Mannering, who flung a tumbIer of wine in her face \ duel followed, in which Joan allowed herself to be slightly wounded.
 'he next day she told Manner ing that she had never loved the object of his affections, and the fickle Cape girl eventually married the lieutenant.
 On another occasion an officer with whom Joan was riding sud denly said to her: By the powers, you look more like a woman than a man" For this he received d savage cut across the face with a whip, and his demands to the gov ernor for redress were met by his transference to Tristan d'Acunha.
 The secret of the doctors sex was discovered only after her death.

PEN IS BADLY MANAGED
Will Baker Thinks State Needs New
 Laws Governing Penitentary.
TO The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal:
 For some time 1 have wondered if it could be possible for the state of Arkansas to rise higher than It's citizens. The inhabitants of our state boast of their intellect uality but there are many essential movements not yet begun,
 One of the most obvious mis- takes at present is the manage ment and treatment of our state convicts. Not that 1 wish to cast any reflections on the present State officials, but believe the pen itentiary of Arkansas is disgrace to our state. Could we as con- scientious citizens testify that our penitentiary is a modern institu- tion of reformation What is the specific purpose of such institu- tions? Some one says to reform the bad. Yes, but 1t falls far below its mission. 1t is bad enough to have our names parolled as offen- ders of society, but to receive the cruel treatment administered by our present school of reformation is an abomination in this age of enlightenment.
 We should never treat human being, because he has transgressed the civil laws of our country, as though he was there after no part of humanity Because man has been shut up in prison he does not cease to be our neighbor. We still have duties toward him. Our penitentiary today under it's gov erning rules is a public mark for capital. Don't understand me to be censuring it's managers; it's the law relative to the management that is at fault. l appeal to the judicious citizens of the state, is it morally right to hire the convicts to contractors2 These contractors care no more for convict than they would for mule. Not so much, for when a mule is killed 1t takes mohey from their pockets to replace 1t. But the only loss on dead convict is the time if takes to bury him and send for another one. Under such contracts pris- oners are whipped unmercifully, worked at unlawful hours and brutally treated. Think of men being worked hard all day through the sultry months and then at nights driven into box cars to rest their tired limbs.
 This is being done to lessen the number of guards, This contract system is and alway has been cor rupt. Let's demand of our leeis- lators this moral duty to the con- viets; that they be placed inside of the penitentiary walls. Then de- mand the contraction of a large building in which they all shall work. Equip this with machinery there by learning them some pro- tiCabIe trade. The converting Of raw materials into useful article will yield a greater income to the state than has or can be obtained

GOV. LITTLE lNAUGURATED
Davis Delivers Final Message and
 Little Takes Oath of Office.

Little Rock. Jan. Ex-Governor Jeff Davis read his final mes- sage this morning to the two houses of the General Assembly in joint session, and Governor elect John $. Little delivered his inaugural address this afternoon after taking the oath of office.
 The lobby and galleries of the hall of the House were crowded with spectators, among whom were many ladies.
 Goyeror- elect Little received quite an ovation when he ascended the speakers platform to deliver his inaugural, and was loudly ap- plauded several times during the reading of it. The greater portioa of the address related to educa tional sebiects.
 Governor Little took possession of the governors office immediate ly after his address, and during remainder afternon spent the time in receiving callers.
 DAVIS FINAL MESSAGE
 Governor Davis's message IS about 1S,000 words long, and makes quite 8 pamphlet.
 The Governor advises strongly against the appropriation of fur ther funds for the completion of the Statehouse while it's construc- tion, is in the hands of the present contractors, declaring their admis- sion of putting up S17, 300 to in- fuence legislation units them for the work.
 After repeating his disapproval of the purchase of the State con- vict farm, which cost $40, 1000, he advises that the Assembly refuse to enact a law to pay interest on the $72,000 balance due on the farm.
 Appeal is made for larger appro- priations for Arkansas University that the faculty may be increased and more apparatus added.
 He protests vigorously against the calling gf 8 constitutional con- vention, referring to the move, ment as conspiracy to oYer- throw the present Constitution.
 "One of the greatest evils to- day,o he says, is the bucket shop" He declares it not only is pure gambling, but is detrimental to the farmer, influencing as 1t does the price of products of the soil. Therefore, he recommends legislation which will suppress them.
 Governor Davis recites the ire quency of accidents within the State, and points out the neces- sity for a fellow servant act.
 Two cent railroad fare, he says, is demanded by conditions to-day, and law should be put upon the statute books this session.
 He recommends that corpor- ations be compelled to confne their operations to one line of busines~. Corporations engaged in spinning and weaving, for in- stance, q says, should not be per mitted o engage in buying up cot ton laH4s for the purpose of corn ering the market on cotton.
 A strong recommendation is made that nonresidents be pro- hibited from owning land in the State except for corporate pur- poses

A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER.
Thursday, Nov. 81, 1907.

THE DECLARATION of w. }
Bryan on the question of his Il oni
nation for the presidency has at
tracted great deal of attention
1t speaks for itself and should be
read by everyone who is willing
and able to do his own thinking
Mr.. Bryan is ready, he says, to
make the race again if his party
decides that he is the best man to
do 80. After expressing becoming
gratitude for the favors he has al
ready received from the Demo-
cracy, he declares that he will not
feel disgruntled should the choice
fall on another man. His political
principles are we'll understood,
and he is uncompromisingly in
their support. He has had the
honor of seeing issues for which
he fought hard, against the odds
of ridicule and Indifference, adopt
ed by his political adversaries.
Mr., Bryan believes in the time
honored principles of Democracy,
equal rights to all, special
privileges to none". He believes
they must be applied to prevent
conditions, and obviously therefore
to the revising of thu tariff and to
the regulation of trusts and trans
portation. Mr.. Bcyan's policies
are constructive and as specific
perhaps as an aspirant to the exc
tive department of government
should hold. 1t is for the great
Democratic psrty In convention
assembled to say it will accept
these principles; if SO, how they
are to be worked out and how to put
these declarations in platform.
The field is open as far as Mr..
Bryan is concerned for any man
inspired with conviction and
aspiration, to suggest better ways
'f working out the principles for
which he stands, than he has,
'r TO suggest better Issues than he
las raised. Mr.. Bryan takes his
'laee among his peers in his
'arty.

SOME FOLKS are now making {
noise like financial Collapse
They are going about with faces
as long as a wakeful night, and
when you meet them they say in
abated breath, "What do you
think of the financial situation, -"
and expect the bored listener to
say, "Isn't it just terrible"
Now, listen for moment.
Surely as necessary as the "finan-
cial situation" is to the business
system, the business system of
this country is strong enough
that if "business" will just keep
its wits it will bring the Gilman
cial situation" along like father
leads scared child soothingly to
bed in the dark, A few million
aires got sore because they were
arrested and fined the small sum
of twenty-nine million dollars for
larceny, and they resolved to give
the country little squeeze and
see us hop. Thereupon New York
got scared and locked itself in the
house and shouted hysterical
alarm from the upstairs windows
until the timid were infected with
the fright and ran, crying, to their
own shelters.
Now, if congress will only give
the "squeezer" little "squeeze"
by taking the tariff off some of
their protected trusts, the hop
will tickle their feet along with
the rest of US.
Anyhow, what is the use of
showing our sore toes. That only
makes them smile at our discom-
torture. There is not a manu-
sacturer in the country that has
'een vigilant in getting orders,
out what is behind with his work,
There is no use being pessimistic
lbout it. Labor is getting
pretty good wage, and good banks
re as sound as eyer. Don't go
acing down to the bank and draw
ut your fifteen cents every time
omebody yells, "Boo." Press up
nd down on your face a little,
0 it won't be so long, and let's
o on with our work and let the
loney grumblers fight it out !
ONE day perhaps we will get a I
1ngress that is not owned by C
lem, and then have it fixed so a
hen Wall street squeezes, it will I
loke itself.

the friends of other available men
to activity, and in the east there
looms up in no small mien the can
didacy of Judge Gray,o of Delaware.
He is being urged by many of
those whose standing and service
in the party ranks, command high
respect. His qualities as man
and public servant are such as to
highly commend him to his coun-
trymen. However it is for the
voters of the party to say whom
they want, and it is none too soon
now for them to be casting about

racy for that man who can most
