Senator John Keel of Newport
was in Little Rock Friday, says the
Commercial Appeal. Senator Keel
says the election held Tuesday has
convinced him beyond a doubt that
the time has arrived forthe consol-
idati0n of state and national cleo
tions, and he will introduce a bill
as soon as the Legislature convenes
TO accomplish that end. Mr.. Keel
voices the sentiment of a large mum
Der of Democrats who believe that
the time has arrived when the con
solidatlon S should take place. TIE
great amount of apathy displayed
by Democrats in the recent election
shows conclusively that if something
of the kind is not done the Repub.
licans will succeed IN landing one or
two congressman in the near future.
The cry of negro domination can
no longer be used, aud the repeal of
the federal election laws should be
a sufficient guarantee that federal
interference in elections of the south
is a thing of the past.
The above from the Little Rock
correspondent to the Commercial
Appeal undoubtedly meets with ap-
proval of three,fourths of the Demo
Gratis throughout the state, and we
sincerely believe the next legisla-
tnre will pass bill consolidating
the state aud national elections in
Arkansas, The poll tax amendment
has carried, the Democrats are now
assured fair and square election,
and we believe the party leaders !
now have their eyes open to the
fact that the more interest there is
taken in an election the greater
will he the Democratic majority.
Senator Henderson of this city
expresses himself as being in favor
Of bill to consolidate the elections
and we believe Representative Doss
will favor the same. Let us hope
that this bill will become law at
the next session of the legislature,
and thus relieve the people of the
burden of "too many
political campaigns"

Sloan Hendrix Academy

The board of Trustees of Sloan
Hendrix Academy met at the acad
emy Monday morning, and after a
full and clear statement of the sit,
uation by the board to the students
Mr.. DAILY Thompson was unani-
mously selected by the board and
the students to assist Prof. Robert
Williamson for the remainder of
the year in the academy. Mr..
Thompson is very fine young man,
one of last years graduates, and
his unanimous selection by the
students insures his success as a
teacher.
While the death of Prof. w. II.
Williamson is seemingly an ire
parable loss, yet the splendid equip
pent of his son, "Prof. Robert, :"
who will have the management of
the academy, assisted by Mr..
Thompson and Miss Gully, will
give perfect assurance and stability
to the ool.-Imboden Gazette.

Remmel For Cabinet Member

Prominent Democrats and Repub,
licans in all sections of Arkansas
have inaugurated a movement which
may result in landing H, L. Remmel
of Little Rock in President Taft's
cabinet. Judge Taft has stated
that he will very likely make a
southern resident his secretary of the
interior, and prominent members
of both political parties in Arkansas
are working for the appointment
for Mr. Remmel.
Mr.. Remmel is one of Arkansas
most successful business men, and
is known far and wide as one of the
chief boosters for the state and its
resources. His selection would
please Democrats and Republicans
alike.

WORKS BOTH WAYS.
Lumber Rate Argument Provs
Other Rates Too High.


Olympia. Wash, March 9.-The
lumber rate question is becoming an
important factor In the valuation
hearings before the Railroad Com
mission. and on it, whichever way it
Is decided by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the Railroad
Commission will apparently be able
TO base a finding that rates on other
commodities are too high.
The Commission has been endeav-
oring to bring out as much testi-
mony as possible concerning the
lumber rate, and by stipulation with
the railroad attorneys has introduced
portions of the testimony of Presi-.
dents Hill and Elliott, submitted on
the subject to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
1t viii be the theory Of the
Railroad Commission that if the old
accent rate on lumber occasiosed a
loss TO the railroads. then the sur
plus as shown in the financial state
ments of The companies has been al
tanned by charging exorbitant rates
TO shippers Of other commodities II
the rate was NOT too low. then other
rates are proDortionately 100 high.

New York Indorses Hughes.

New York. March 9-"We viii
go to the National convention in
Chicago cheering for Hughes but
We viii take particular attention TO
impress upon delegates from Other
States the fact that not one thing
the Governor has asked has been
made a law by the present Legisla-
ture."
This statement was made today
by a State Senator who has gone on
record as favoring the promotion Of
New York's Governor. Taken IN
consideration with other things. it
indicates very clearly that the New
York delegation. while ostensibly for
Hughes. will not be remarkable for
its loyalty.

Warned Against Timber Famine.
New York. March 9.-Anuounc-
ing that there was no issues before
the American people so important in
his Judgment as the conservation Of
the national resources, urged upon
Congress by President Roosevelt,
Clifford Pinchot. forester Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, told 1900
people at a meeting OF The American
Institute of Electrical Engineers
that a timber famine in this country
was imminent and that unless there
was great change in public senti-
ment the country would have TO face
in few years the problem OF how
to do without wood.
At the present rate of consump-
ton, he said, the trees now stand
ing could supply timber for 20
years. There have already been set
aside in the West 165. 100000 acres
Of forest lands protected by the Gov
eminent. -
But this represents only one-ffth
of the timber the people of this Ma
ton own" added the speaker. and
steps to protect all such property
from the rapid destruction now in
progress cannot be taken too soon.
