death. He brought the rattles to this

THE NorlINEE FOR GOVERNOR

After one of the most remarkable campaigns in the history of Arkan- sas. the Democratic voters have nominated for the high position of governor, George w. Donaghey of Conway. This is generally taken as being equivalent to an election, and the people will watch MT. Dona- ghey's career with more than un- usual interest, particularly to see if he is strong enough to completely cut loose from the influence of the Jeff Davis ring---that from the mouths of it's own members is unfit to have any part in the conduct of the affairs of Arkansas.
 If Mir. Donaghey carries out the pledges to which he has subscribed he will make Arkansas a governor of whom the people will be proud, but, if on the other hand he succumbs to the blandishments of cliques and rings, listens to the voice of the professional lobbyist, or lends his influence toward the advancement of the fortunes of any man or set of men, then he will have betrayed the confidence of the people and will be soon relegated to the walks of private life.
 The Star has with pleasuae given space to some of MT. Donaghey's utterances regarding state affairs, and if he finally secures the place to which he aspires will watch with pleasure each move that he makes to place Arkansas in the position of honor in which she belongs.

PRoLoNdATION OF POLITICS

All over the country there is a hurrying and scurrying of politicians preparing for a struggle for su- prcmacy. The cohorts of Taft, of Cannon, of Fairbanks, of Hughes and Root are gathering in the faithful Republicans from the pines of Maine to the everglades of Florida. Bry- an, from the prairies of Nebraska is issuing mandates and manifestos and sending orders to the East, the West and the South calling upon all loyal Democrats to once more fol- low his banner to Denver and assist the "cross of thorns" to beat back the cohorts of plutocracy. Brass bands have been engaged; sky rock ct manufacturers are filling orders for marching clubs and the red glare of political lights will illumine the skies. Jeff Davis oratory, Bryan rhetoric, Taft philosophy. Cannon inconsistencies, Hughes classic arg u- ments and Root verbiage will fill the land. Out of the combination there must be found a Moses who will lead the American people to the land of promise and place one of the number in the blue room of the White house.
 In Arkansas we have just passed through an exciting campaign and the people have spoken well. Now not even a breathing spell is allowed before other political thunderbolts are hurled at our heads. It may be that a kind and benefieent Provi- dence has ordained well, when He ordained clarifcation of the politi- cal atmosphere.
 Here in our state the atmosphere has been made purer and possibly the moral situation has undergone a change for the better. The decks for the state and county offices to l be filled have been swept clean and i

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The enterprising an energetic peo- pie living on Eighth street have, for several weeks past been engaged in the laudable work of improving their properties and already the results are pleasingly perceptible. Curbs have been placed in position for four or five blocks and trees planted along the walks which in time will add comfort as we'll as beauty to the homes along that thoroughfare. The trees planted are of one variety, of the same age and size and when fully grown will make Eighth a handsome and desir- able street on which to live. Nor is this all; every dollar expended in ornamentation will add two dollars to the valuation. Property owners on other streets should visit Eighth personally and note the change, It will imbue them with spirit of Ego and do likewise" which will eventually result in making Mena one of the prettiest and cosiest little cities of the Southwest and will at tract others here, who desire homes where the beauties of nature are re- splendent and who will look upon our citizens as people of enterprise and refinement.

HON. HAL L. NoRWoOD

The people of Polk county were deeply interested in the race of our honored townsman, Hon. Hal L. Norwood, and for several days the result hung in the balance, but at last the clouds of doubt have cleared and Hal L. Norwood shows up as a good winner.
 That he will prove an efficient and capable attorney general, no one for a moment doubts. Brainy, bright. brilliant, Mena's citizen will be inducted into the office with the best wishes and earnest prayers of those who have known him for years those who are his neighbors and friends---and all feel confident that the high trust reposed in him will be to the people inviolate when the office shall be given back. There is a bright future ahead for

LOOK TO THE FUTURE.

Fort Smith, our nearest nelghbor to the north, is contemplating the work of curbing and paving seventy one miles of streets and the news papers and prominent business men and firms of that city are heartily in accord with the proposition. It is argued that it will take considerable money to carry out the project. but this argument is met with the logic that it will increase the value of property two thirds; that it will add material wealth to the city; that it will attract attention to the place; that it will draw by the magnet, manufacturing establishments; that in the end it will decrease taxation and last but not least that the money required for the improvements con- templated, will of necessity be paid to the workingmen of the city, who in turn will make outlays at home. All of which is true.
 Mena's opportunity is at hand. In a short time new administration will be at the helm. The Star, in common with majority of the peo- pie, would be pleased to see that the incoming powers that be" will take no steps backward, and that upon all matters of public improvements, which will be beneficial to every citizen, the word PROGRESS should be the motto. It is no time to halt. Mena must and should act, discreet ly yet determinedly, in all lines for it's upbuilding.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Wednesday last President Roose- welt sent to Congress a special mes sage which contained several inn portant recommendations and urg- ing our national legislative body to take immediate action upon the measures proposed in the message. The message was characteristic of the President---vigorous, open and sincere.
 The principle features of the mes age are those bearing upon the vital question of child labor now in vogue in this country. The President says:
 Cbud labor should be prohibited throughout the nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon Congress for it's legislation there should be no law whatever to protect children by for bidding or regulating their labor.
 That part of the message touch ing the antitrust law is interesting and very forcibly declares that the farmers and laboring classes of the country should be protected in their rights; that there should be no class distinction or class legislation.
 Probably the most important part of the message is his views upon the question of strikes. The President says:
 The right of employers to combine and contract with one another and with their employees should be ex- plicitly recognized; and so should the right of the employees to combine and to contract with one another and with the employers, and to seek peaceably to persuade others to accept their views, and to strike for the purpose of peac9ably obtaining from employers satisfactory terms for their labor. Nothing should be done to legalize either a black list or boycott that would be illegal at common law; this being the type of boycott defined and by the Anthracite Strike 
 In general, the recommendations of President Roosevelt are wise and consel vative throughout and there is a strong and wholesome vein through the whole mes sage.
 The question now arises---will Congress respond, or will it allow a half dozen men who represent the special interests" to defeat all efforts of the President.

Even in diversity Jeff Davis re- tains his gall. In congratulating Donaghey on his nomination, Jeff says the people selected "one of two Jeff Davis men and have seen proper to select Donaghey. Whereupon Donaghey arises in the might of indignation and politely tells Jeff he is a falsifer. Our next governor had no need to tell Jeff this, for the people know it to be a fact. And yet, how good it sounded
