Greenville. H.. Oct 22.-An Illus

the national Democratic campaign
managers find themselves is shown in
the effort to make John Mitchell
former president Of the United Mine
Workers. say something In print
against Mr.. Taft and in favor Of Nc.

On the side Of one. Of the store

placard. which bears the picture of

makes this emphatic statement to the
pubic and miners through the New
York World:
IN accordance vita ySaT :ari;a-
ton, I wish TO state that. in my judg-
ment. the election OF Bryan would be
for the best interest OF the whole ma
ton. he stands on much the better
platform and will be guided by Il in
the'eyent OF his election. MIR. Taft Is
handicapped by the jealous advocacy
of his cause by the predatory rich.
Honest wealth and business have
nothing TO fear in Bryau's election"
Mitchell ReDudiates Placard.
In many mining towns throughout

you are entirely mistaken when YOU

that before jumping to an unwaf-

done me the justice 10 inquire about

Indianapolis. Ind. Oct. 22.-John
Mitchell. former president Of the
United Nine Workers OF America, to-
day furnished the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
During the past few days | have
received numerous inquiries from sec
retaries OF our local unions in refer
ence to a poster containing an enlarg-
ed likeness of myself, below Which Is
printed what purports to be an inter
view with me bearing on the present
political situation. Some Of these let
tiers are written in a spirit OF criti-
cism. while others are commenda-
tory and request that additional post
ers be mailed for distribution.
II is obvious that these posters
have been received by many Il not
all the secretaries Of our local unions;
4 is apparent that al least some Of
our members believe that they - ere
sent by me. and the assumption Is
that I am attempting TO dictate, or
at least in Influence, the manner IN
which our members should vote. In
order TO remove any m!sunderstae1-
ing tlSt may exist. take this ms ans
Of ind rm'ng our members that | have
not Mailed or authorized any one
else TO mail to any member or officer
Of our union or 20 any one else any
poster containing my likeness or Civ
ing EXPRESSION to my political views.
except so fer as these views are ex-
pressed in the Official circulars All
thorized by the executive council Of
the American Federation Of labor.
Only short time ago a weekly pa
per published IN the city OF Buffalo
printed what purported to be a teie-
gram signed b yme. declaring un-
equivoea,Iy for one Of the presidential
candidates. and with equal emphasis
yoicing opposition to another. That
telegram, which has been given wide
circulation. was not written By me or
by my authority. / never saw II or
heard Of it until Il appeared in the
'''i~inffs Of 49,. publication referred
to.
/ have borne patiently with this
Misrepresentation and have hesitated
70 say anything by way OF correction
because feared that TO do 80 would
furnish another opportunity for garb-
ling what | said, and thus place me in
an even more embarrassing nosition,
and might thus convey thf impression
that l was NOT in fun syfanathy with
the efforts Of the working people To
secure remedial legislatsL n for the
wrongs OF which they ciamplain But
matters have gone so d r that | can
lot in justice TO my oJ conscience.

\ delegation of ladies from lhe Cos mos Club waited 6n the City council Tuesday night and asked their coop eration in making Forrest City the handsomest town in Eastern Arkan- sas. They spoke of the unsanitary condition of the streets. and the cruelty to horses and mules. whose owners leave them standing on the hot thoroughfares for hours without water or attention This is a com mendable action on the part of our good ladies, but would il not be well 70 commence the good work in the City of the Dead How soon We are forgot when We are dead, the truthful saying of that yagabond. Rip Van Wrinkle, is verified by visit to the cemetery. The only thing that has been done or suggested for several years was the cutting down of nearly all of the grand old oaks which shaded the resting places of our dead, on the ground that the dropping of rain from the leaves diseolored the monuments. Since then the grass and weeds have
 had full sway, and spark may start a fire which will destroy every monu- ment on the grounds. Ladies. We hope you will begin at the cemetery.

We fear His Honor. Mayor Izard, is not keeping watchful eye upon the sidewalk needs of this town. Not a single new sidewalk has been ordered since his inauguration. The street committee, too, ought to look about them. We do not mean that the au- thorities should put any extraordi- nary burdens upon the people, but We do mean that sidewalks are badly needed in several places in town, and that the good work begun a few years ago by Mayor German, and which has resulted in miles of concrete pave ment being laid to the everlasting benefit and pleasure and satisfaction of this good town, should not be al- lowed to stop entirely. Let the good work go on-gradually, if you please. but go on.

A FELINE HOBO

A GREAT many dogs travel railways
simply by reason of their instinctively
tramplike disposition. Many such, great ia
vorites with trainmen, are everywhere received
and cared for by the men about the wards as
privileged guests.
The most remarkable rival to the railway
tramp dogs is the we'll known Maltese hobo
links, which, it would appear, Is not only well
looked after tramper of this country, but IS a
globe trOtter as well.
links appeared at the Union Station in
Cincinnati some years ago as the sole survivor,
apparently of an Ohio steamer that had been
wrecked. The big Maltese at once appealed
to the sympathies of the railway men at the
Cincinnati station, who Immediately became
her fast friends.
In little while links evinCed peculiar
streak for cat, the feline being ordinarily of
quite a domestic turn,-she wanted to look
about At first her trips were short ones:
but eventually she increased her mileage and
the length of her So ourns from home.
In view of links disposition to see the
world, the Cincinnati employees finally de-
termined to afford her an opportunity to do
so to the fullest extent They provided her
address, to which was added d request that
her friends everywhere enter her doings in "a
small diary inclosed in a miniature knapsack
strapped to her back.
links reappears from time TO time in this
country; when, railway men aver, there are
always interesting items added to her itineracv.
links diary records the fact that she has
survived four big railway wrecks in this
country, besides shipwreck in the Indian
Ocean. She has crossed the Atlantic eight
times, and the Pacific twice, and. though She
has never, SO far as known, taken the trip up
the Nile, she has crossed the Mediterranean on
two different occasions.
links one year put in most of her time on a
British vessel in Chinese waters, when she
was stolen by native, but was afterward re-
covered by the British seamen who had taken
great fancy to her. The attachment was
not, however, entirely mutual; for at the end
of the year the Maltese periodically boarded
American man of war; the crew of which
provided perhaps the most interesting items
in her diary. With them she returned to the
Pacific coast. Here, however, she remained
only few days, taking passage for South
America. She next appeared in New York.
coming on a liner from Cuba, having evidently
worked her way through South America
links landed from train at Buffalo re-
Gently; and, after a brief stay with her rail-
road friends at the station, departed on d
train for Vancouver, and for the present J.
lost TO history
