What Has He Done !

Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States. What has he done? Chiefest of the things he has done is this; That he has stirred the worlds conscience, appealed more effectively to the inner au- thority upon rectitude in the indi- vidual than any man since Martin Luther. He has applied the moral law to business when business genius most boldly asserted it's superiority to the rules of right action between man and man. He has made ruth less ability tremble upon it's throne of heaped-up dollars. He has brought greed and cunning to meas urement by the standard of justice. He has challenged swollen success and exposed it as often but masque of glorified chicane. For this shall Theodore Roosevelt, whatever his sins of commission or omission, be held in eternal, grateful remem- brance bv his fellow-countrymen, in the same class with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. St. Louis Mirror 0nd Democrat.

THE MYSTIC ROSE.

An angel stood near bed of fairest
 flowers, Just after dew had spread it's pearly
 showers; And gazing at the daintiest, sweetest
 rose, She pointed at pink the one she
 chose. Awhile she unused. and smiling seemed
 to think How she would touch the delicate
 petals pink She raised her hand a veil of mist was
 cast; She left the rose, token that will
 last. The rose was smiling, while the stars
 were gleaming; It's petals opening, it was sweetly
 dreaming. I watched in silence as the angel Into the garden she had graced and
 blessed. l slowly stopped to pick this rose so fair, The angels voice came whispering low and clear This pretty rose is emblem of a soul Shedding loves fragrance from it's sacred bowl.

Not all of those six speeches have yet been delivered, so that the trusts must stay on the anxious seat for a few days longer. So far they have not been dangerously hurt, although some thing was said about the control of corporations, beginning with the rail- roads. Arkansas Democrat.
 No the trusts have not been dan gerously hurt and the aid given their protectors in the Republican party by papers and politicians in the Democratic party, who are not broad enough to see beyond party lines, has and doubtless will do much to cause this statement to stand for some time. But the great mass of the people know to whom credit is due for honest efforts made and who are responsible for the small measure of success attained in putting the trusts under control.

Garner in conversation with Star representative stated that a petition was being circulated in his neighborhood which would be sent to the postoffice depart meut requesting that the govern ment establish free rural route between Hartley and Jansen, a distance O. l2 miles, which is thickly inhabited. He also stated that the Howard County Lumber Company, with Headquarters at Jansseu, were making prepara- tons for putting in telephone line to connect their several saw mIi!s In and around Hartley. He thinks that the line when com. pleted will prove a great con. vcnience to the people of that locality.

 THE CHEAPEST ROAD WORK

The Star hears each day words of the warmest approval for the course taken by Judge Wright Prickett in putting the county roads in good repair and keeping them in that con dition. It is commonly remarked that it is really wonderful what one man constantly employed can accom- plish on a few miles of road. One business ran who lives out on the Rocky road, takes pleasure in relat- ing that the drive to town which a few weeks ago was a disagreeable, buggy-racking trip of 30 minutes, is now pleasant drive of Is minutes
 all since one man was put to work steadily by our county judge.
 There seems but little doubt but this one man will soon have the road to Rocky one of the best in the county instead as in the past one of the toughest. And this is only one instance. Judge Prickett is treat ing other roads the same way, and will enlarge the scope of work as fast as he can.
 When will the city administration adopt the same common sense methods with the city streets?

President Roosevelt a Believer in the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Waterway
 Proposition

Chicago, Oct. S.-Mayor Busse Mon, day received the following reply to the message sent by him to President Roosevelt last week at St. Louis. which was carried by motor boat through the Chicago drainage and Illinois Michi. gan canals, and Illinois and Mississippi rivers:
 T have received your letter convey ed to me by motor boat from Chicago to St Lou.s. l heartily agree with all that you say, but until the committee appointed especially to consider the project have reported I cannot sneak as to details. But believe in an all. water transportation route from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, route which shall practically give us a sea coast right into the heart of our country I believe that this is natural work and that the National government should recognize this fact"

Ginger Bread.

My favorite recipe for ginger bread has not the advantage of being inexpensive but it is delicious. Melt one-third of a cupful of butter in two-thirds ot cupful of boiling water, and add one cupful of molas- sas, and one egg well beaten. Mix and sift two and three-fourths cup fuls of pastry flour (once sifted), one and one-half teaspoonfuls of soda, one-half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of ginger. Add to first mixture, beat thorough ly, turn into a buttered and floured shallow pan, and bake in moderate oven thirty minutes. Vary the flavor sometimes by using one tea spoonful each of ginger and cinna- mon and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of cloves; then bake in buttered and fioured individual tins.

CAN THE GOOD NEWS BE
 TRUE :?

All Arkansas will rejoice beyond measure to see Governor John s. Little pass completely from under the shadow that has lowered over him for so many months and return to his duties as governor of the state that chose him for that place of honor.
 While there probably was no man in Arkansas more generally beloved than John s. Little before he was stricken, his great suffering drew to him the heart sympathy of the whole people, and it is doubtful if there is even orie man in the state who would not be made glad by the news that the governors physician was correct in his claim that his patient would soon be entirely well, mentally and physically.
 The only shadow is that there has in the past been so much uncertainty as 10 the truth of news given out for publication that many will not be sure until the governor is actual ly back in his place at the helm of the ship of state.

PAID MORE FOR THEIR O|LS.
More Testimony as to Standardi Method of Getting Lubicating
 Business From Railroads.
NEW YORK COMPANY TELLS TROUBLE
The Louisville & Nashville Paid High CT Prices to Standard Than Theft Competitors Were Willing to Sell for-Other Contracts Were Taken ir the Same Manner.

New York, Oct. S.-The difficulties of the New York Lubricating Oil com. pany, in its fight with the Standard Oil company for the business of rail road fabrication throughout the Uni ted States, were related Monday by Phillip Harrison, of the former, ir the hearing of the governments suit against the Standard. MT. Harrison said that the Vacuum Oil company previous to 1894. manufactured lubri eating oil, but that it made an ar rangement with the Standard whereby it turned all of it's lubricating business over to the Galena Signal oil com pany, subsidiary of the Standard, The witness said that his company made a contract with the Louisville & Nash vile railroad in 1903, to supply tht road with lubricating oil. On the ex piration of the contract, Presidenl Milton Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville, refused to renew it, bui would give no reason why.
 Mir. Kellogg then placed in evidence the statement of the Galena Sigma Oil company, showing that the Louis vile & Nashville, at the expiration O. the contract with the New York Lubri eating company, made a contract witf the Galena at higher rate than thai paid the New York company. Mir. liar rison said President Smith had stated in a letter that the oils of the New York Lubricating Oil company were entirely satisfactory. He added that the Galena agents went to President Smith and told him that the Standard was shipping large amount of oil on the Louisville & Nashville, and that the road should give the contract to the Galena.
 President Smith told the Galena agents that he was not paying rebates In that way" said Mir Harrison.
 Mir. Harrison testified that the New York Lubrlcating Oil company had contracts with the Central of Georgia Railroad, and the Geogia Railroad and that the Galena obtained contracts with the two railroads at prices which he said he understood were higher than the prices of the New York Lu. bricating Oil company.

Farmers Not Holding Cotton.

A prominent broker in Little Rock said yesterday that the farmers are not holding together on the cotton proposition, or they could force whatever they want.
 He declared that even in Georgia, the home of Harvie Jordan, they are inclined to force the cotton on the market on every little bulge, there by keeping down the prlce.
 This is probably too true, although it is difficult to put the finger on any particular place, and say:
 Here is the trouble; cure it."
 The whole situation is in the hands of the farmer.
 His Unions meet and resolve and pledge, and warehouses are built in every county that take care of a large per cent of the output, but the individual goes home, needs money, or imagines that high prices will not last long, and sells at the first opportunity.
 The gospel of holding the cotton until fifteen cents is forced has been preached to good advantage over the South, but there remain many  to be proselyted. Arkansas Demo- crat.
