MAY HAVE OLD
 HOME WEEK YET Edward I. Atwater to Place the Matter Before Local Busi-
 ness Men This Evening.
MANY ARE OPPOSED TO IT
They Say That the Celebration Benz efits Only Few Financially,
 and is Not Socially Successful

The New Haven Business Mems as- sociation holds its first meeting of the year this evening in Heublein's ban quet hall and at that time the new president, Sidney Perlin Butler, will announce his standing committees for the coming year
 At the meeting Edward l. Atwater, a former president of the State Business Mems association ana one of the most prominent members of the local body. will bring up the old home week prop osition, which was first suggested last year.
 MT. Atwater is strongly in favor of having the old homo week observance and it is said that the new president, Mir Butler, is also favorable. The opposition to the old home week is headed by a former president of the local organization, Ralph S Pagter, and his side of the question has strong support among other members The stand taken by those who oppose the old home week celebration is that to i everyone except the restaurants and cafes the observance is a financial loss. The idea of people coming back to their l old homes in country towns and small
 cities, the opposition thinks is a good
 one. but do not think that enough en- thusiasm can be raised to get large | number of former residents of New Ha- ven back again.
 Last year the Business Mems asso- citation asked Mayor Studleys to ap- f point a committee of business men fol the old home week. The committed
 was never appointed and the mattel
 dropped 4 similar request will bf 3 made of Mayor Martin if the Business : Mems association decides tonight tf1a : the celebration will be a good thing
 MT. Martin said las1 night that he ha,
 moi wei given the matter of an olt d home week for New Haven an! thought.

May be only a tired liver, or g starved liver. It would be a stupid as well as savage thing to beat Q weary or starved man because he Jagged in his work. So in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is a great mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an indication of an illnourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvellous cures of "liyer trouble ,, by it's wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re- stores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretionS of the blood-Inalz- ing glands, cleanses the system from poi sonous accumulationS, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defectlon of other organs.

As an admirer of fair play The Tribune despises to see such tastics as some newspapers dis play in the primary race for Governor. One ud-mouthed Kirby organ is hurting forth the unqualified statement that Candidate Hinemon wants to ex- empt S250 of each negro's property from taxation, which would mean that white people would have to pay all the taxes. The only basis that such an as- sertion could have is the item in MT. Hinemon's platform in which he says: ''I believe Sthat the question of exempting small amount of personal property from taxation should be submitted to the voters of the State. This is in the interest of the small property owner, and the small wage-earner. Owing to the de- pleted condition of the State Treasury, it might not be proper to submit this question just now" If such maliscious statements as the above against MT. Hinemon make any votes for Kirby in this county The Tribune will miss it's guess.

THE Tribune gives considerable space this week to a letter from Congressman Floyd concerning his position on the bill before Congress, which seeks to have White river declared not navi- gable above Cotter. The Tribune had innocently mis-represented our distinguished Congressman on this question, and while we are sorry for that, we are glad to have evoked this letter of expla- nation of his position, as we have had considerable to say on the subject, thinking there was only one side to the proposition, Since receiving his explanation we can see there are valid reasons why the bill should not pass at least in it's present form.

AGAIN IN THE RACE
Judge Worthington's Friends
 Slate Him for Governor

Judge John I. Worthington was a passenger on the east bound train Sunday afternoon, re- turning to Harrison from Eureka Springs where he had been to have a brief conference with Gen. Clayton on matters political. While his train was on the siding awaiting the passing of the west bound, Judge Worthington greet ed those of his friends who happened to be on the depot platform and give out quite 8 number of friendly handshakes,
 The Judge rather blushingly admitted that there is probabil- ity that he will again be in the race as the Republican candidate for governor. He said that his solicitations were such that he did not think that he could well afford to turn the proposition down.
 Asked as to the general politi- cal situation Judge Warrington said he was quite certain that enough votes would be instructed for Taft to nominate him on first ballot. Personally he i5 for the big Secretary, hence the situation is quite pleasing to him.
 Judge Worthington is looking well physically, and he intimated that if he is again hoDored with the nomination for Governor that he will wade into the fray with the intention of beating the splendid record he made two years ago. There is not Q more universally popular Republican or a more able campaigner in the state than Judge Worthington and his party can do no better than 10 name him for it's candi- date for gubernatorial honor.

approved Jone 21, 1906. This act ex- pressly provides for the construction of dams for water power purposes. All that any person, CT corporation has to do to vail themselves of the benefit of this act is to procure the passage of simple bill authorizing them to con- struct dam under the provisions of this act. Then the general law re- quires them to complete same within specified time and in keeping with the previous of said general law, subject to the approval and supervision of the Secretary of War.
 It is not at all necessary, therefore, to declare any river unnavigable to utilize the waters of the same for water power purposes.
 l am opposed to the proposition to declare White River unnavigable above Cotter. It is now used for rafting timber, cotton and other products down to the railroad, and the chances are that there will never be railroad up that part of White River, owing to the topography of the country and such a movement would deprive the people living along the river of valuable means of transportation. Besides, l think it nothing but right, if the public grants to individuals or corporations franchises of incalculable value, that something in return should be given for these franchises, and it would certainly be but small cost in comparison with the value of their franchises if they should be required to maintain lock and dam constructed so as not to impede or interfere with the free right of navigation on the river when at navigable stage of water.
 sincerely hope that, upon a careful study of this question, cur people will not be misled in regard to this inn portant subject. As representative of all the people, am trying to guard the rights of all, and am unwilling to destroy one valuable privilege the use of the river for the purposes of navi- gation in the hope that some promoter may be able to furnish another interest by creating water powers. The de- struction of the one is in no sense necessary to the promotion of the other; and the man who is not willing to give anything for his franchise will not be willing to do anything for the benefit of the people after he acquires it. lam, Very respectfully yours,

Good Chance to Lose

The matter of passing the government quarantine line to the south boundary of Carroll county is unsettled with pros- poets for the proposition to fall through, much to the regret of every citizen who is interested in the development of our cattle in- dustry.
 A sufficient sum of money to guarantee the protection of the line until legislative help can be secured has not been raised, and those who have been pushing the scheme have about abandoned hope.
 As last resort, we are in- formed, that a temporary line rider has been put on awaiting final action on the part of the Bureau of Animal Industry, which is offering every indulgence pos- sible in the matter.
 It is expected that definite in- formation will be had soon. The amount of money pledged is not for short of the requirement, but a miss is as good as mile, and The Tribune believes the fight is as good as lost now.
 A very unfortunate feature of the matter is that the counties south of us are prevented by the inactivity here from making any progress along the line of securing the protection that has been offered Carroll county.
 The scheme of the government is to weed out the fever ticks by taking up 8 row of counties at a time and eventually permit a good portion if not the whole of the state to finally be passed to the north of the government quarantine Once stamped out there is no more danger from Texas fever here than anywhere else.
 Itis too bad that there is not a sufficient awakening of the people to have made the best of an opportunity that means so much in financial way to one of the country's greatest and most profitable industries.

 Among the candidates who are doing hard work in this campaign is Joe Dodson for county Judge. His many friends believe that if elected Judge he will work just as hard for the best interests of the people.
 Perhaps none of the candidates have seen more of the voters this campaign than J. +. Gregson, candidate for County Clerk. The fact that Ed Gregson has always stood for honest elections and a fair count will have much to do in the victory that his friends feel that he if sure to win the 25th.
 Even the Carroll County Re. cord, though new paper, but edited by old hands at the busi- ness, says that the time has come for the Democrats to nominate sober, honest men for office. An open confession is good for the soul.
