There i nothing except gloom around the HorrS

weeks Up 10 the first part OF this week they were
actually confident that both Bryan and Chanlsr

New York State unless by some sort OF q
surprising reversal in the situation IN the West
But Mr. Mack believed that New York would 20

OF Chairman Corners OF the state COMMITTEES and

Since both Taft and Bryan have been campaigning

WILL HELP r1ENA.

The establishment in Mena of headquarters for the National For ests of Arkansas, details of which are given in this issue, will mean more to this city than the mere adding of number of good citizens to Mena. and they are good ones, as the forest service is mighty careful to have no other kind of men connected with it.
 All over the land literature is sent out telling of the work in the na- tional forests and of the country in which they are located; telephone lines will be built, giving us easy communication with adjacent terri tory, and. not least, Mena will be known where never before heard of, and everything that tends to do that will help build up our city, for to know of it is to increase love for it.
 Incidentally, it may help to get a government building here, and a federal court.

A Good Idea. This.

The Holton Recorder takes this view of the currency question: Congress, both houses, have voted unanimously to restore In God we trust to the coins. We would feel more confidence in their piety and sincerity in the cause of religion and morality if they had let the coins alone and passed the bill to prohibit the shipment of lquors into prohi- bition states. 'Straining at :. gnat and swallowing a camel, would seem to be the rule rather than the ex- ception at the nations capital"
The Mena weekly star., 1908-05-21
WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL

At this time, the close of the school year of 1908, the people of Mena can well afford to devote a little thought to the debt of grati- tude they owe to those who have in past years devoted their time and talents toward bringing the city's schools up to the high standard they have attained.
 In the early days of the city, and the time elapsed since those days has been but short as the history of cities go, there was almost no money with which to construct or eouin school buildings, and under the laws of the state that prohibits the issu. ance of bonds for such purposes. it took the best efforts of the school board, with the cooperation of puh.

SHOULD INVESTIGATE.

The Star elsewhere contains dis patch from Hot Springs that states that parties are there for the pur- pose of building arailroad from that point to Mena.
 Everybody knows that to have a railroad from here to Hot Springs has been the dream of every live citizen of Mena since the founding of the town, and at one time at least it was thought to be within grasp. The report referred to sounds al most too good to be true; but one thing is certain, it should be inves- tigated at once, and propably will be by the Commercial Club.
 If the news is found to be well based, Mena should get busy, and should use every possible means to have the construction begin at this end, as by so doing Mena would benefit much more than otherwise.
 It will be glorious day for Mena when this enterprise is really under xxyau

WANT TARIFF FACTS
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE ALI THoRIzED TO SECURE ASSIST
 ANCE IN INVESTIGATION.
COMMISSION WILL NOT BE NECESSARY
The Resolution Is Stated to Be for the Purpose of Preparing the Way for General Tariff Legislation at the Next Session of congress-To Work During Recess.

Washington, May 17.-Senator Ald- rich Saturday reported from the com mittee on finance a resolution author izing the committee to secure certain assistance in pursuing tariff investiga- tions. It was adopted by the senate without debate. The resolution pro vides
 That the committee on finance is authorized, in connection with inTesti- gations hereto ordered by the senate, with the view of promptly securing the information necessary for any re- vision of the customs laws of the United States to call to their assist ance experts in the legislative depart ments of the government and to em' ploy such other assistants as they shall require, and they are especially directed to report further legislation which Is necessary to secure equitable treatment for the agricultural and oth- CT products of the United States in foreign countries. They shall also in the consideration of congress of rates, secure proof or the relative cost or production in this and in principal competing foreign countries of the va rious articles affected by the tariff upon which changes in rates of duty are desirable"
 It is announced that the committee will begin investigations shortly after the adjournment of congress.
 The resolution is proposed to make unnecessary the appointment Of tar iff commission and the purpose of 1t is to prepare the way for general tariff legislation at the next session of con gress.
 The resolution, it is stated, was drafted by Senator Beveridge, who in- troduced a tariff commission bill earlier in the session and contended for the employment of government ex- perts, James B. Van Cleaye, president of the National Association of Manu- lecturers, and II. D. Miles, chairman of the tariff committee of a number of organizations.

council in requesting that the mat ter of opening certain streets be postponed, criticizing MT. Norwood for so doing and intimating that as president of the Commercial Club he was opposing progress in Mena. As a matter of fact MT. Norwood was acting only as attorney for cer- tain interests and probably got paid for same, and would be one of the very last men to personally oppose any move to make Mena a better and bigger city. However, The Star most assuredly hopes that the conditions complained of on Second street will speedily be abated for both the peace and appearance of the town.
