It is clear. also. that Mr.. Roosevelt
suspects a political purpose in propos-
ed wage reductions This suspicion /,
justified by the false representation
OF at least one railroad tha; its cut
in wages is forced by drastic legisla-
ton affecting railway properties and
operation.
The only drastic" railway legisla-
tion enacted by the present congress
is the rate law. which abollshes re-
bates and thus. other things being
equal. should Increase rather than di-
minish the net earnings OF carriers,
since all rate favors are prohibited
The president has taken the right
course to meet both Me business and
the political questions involved. He
has asked the interstate commerce
commission TO investigate transporta-
ton conditions; to report for the pub
lies benefit whether there are causes
for wage reductions and. If So. what
these causes are; to state whether re-
ductions are proposed In order TO pay
dividends on inflated or standard
stocks; in short. TO get the facts neces-
sary TO enlighten the people so that
there may be an effective public opin-
ion on the policies OF the railroads
and the attitude OF the trades union
toward them in case Of strikes.
If any railroad proposes to make
earnings on watered stock or to in
crease legitimate earnings already
reasonably large or to make political
capital by cutting wages. 1t invites the
fullest publicity Of It's affairs-a pub
licity that the government is now en-
powered to give.

THE DOUGLAS SPRUCE.

Who counts the centuries 1t stood
Untouched, unseen Of man?
An emerald tower of mysteries
With wind-borne music Of the seas
Signing amid its branches green,
What time the years unnumbered ran,
Season on season, span on span?
Who notes its fall? (The ancient wood,
That hammered host unhelmeted,
Lies prone.) Mans tireless thrift has
torn
And strip'd its PROSTATE trunk, and
borne,
Transformed to plank and mast and
SPAR
The once proud form. Beneath the
sun
There Is no port nor clime-not one,
From Southern Cross to white North
Star
But knows the spruce Of oregon.

THE LAST ACORN.

In a dry and treeless land
once l stood,
With an acorn in my hand,
While a wood
Nay. a sea--of ghostly oaks
Thronged about like human folks;
Bending down its mighty head
To my ear, the tallest said:
"All earth's shade lies folded up
Close within that little cup;
Noisy brook and quiet pool.
Grassy slope and meadow cool.
Ere the trees you dispossesed H
made us phantoms without rest).
Oft beneath our pleasant shade,
AS a child you gladly played;
Graded in our arms you slept
And our fruits your body kept
All our substance you enjoyed
You, alone, have us destroyed;
Brother. plant!"
And the parched earth at my feet
Low did pant:
Give me back my lusty sons;
Plant, oh. plant!
Say, when did you ever find
Trees ungrateful or unkind?
Ere from earth the pattern perish,
Plant the acorn! Plant and cherish!'

II Is now rumored diThly that two
members Of last years committee who
are missing were dropped by Mr.. Can
non because OF their friendliness to
the bill: and our knowledge Of the
speaker makes US fear these rumors
may be well founded. The whole
committee. as now composed, Is esti-
amted to show 10 10 s against the
bill. This is the work of Uncle Joe,
and IL the bill is finally defeated the
everlasting disgrace therefor should
be centered sharply upon the speaker

going to support for the United States

while seeking the republican nomina-

Little Rock, July 8. J. E. Will Hams, assistant general attorney for the Iron Mountain in Arkan- sas, i'll paying a tribute to the late Julius Lesser, says he was the most systematic man and the quickest with figures he ever saw He says MT. Lesser was at fre- quent meetings of the Democrat ic convention held in the sos, one of the secretaries, and was always delegated to count the ballots, and never failed to have the ballot ready to announce as soon as Yell county delivered it's vote. The system used by Jul jus Lesser was never before used in a convention in Arkansas, nor did any secretary use it after he retired from Arkansas politics when James P.

Unknown Negro Fires Into The Home of John M.
 Mil burn.

On last evening, about dusk, a negro man passed the residence of Jno. M. Milburn on East Elm street, and when about half way between the Milburn residence and that of E. s. Caruthers, stop- ped, turned around, and fired a pistol at Milburn's house. The family, Mrs. Beaufort and daugh- ter were all sitting on the front porch, and the ball barely missed Miss Hazel Scott, tearing into the window caseing just beyond her. He then proceeded to come on toward town and so far has eluded the officers.
 The women and children were so frightened that they could not give a description of him.

CRIME WAVE
 IS STILL ON
In Little Rock Authorities Are at a Loss to Find
 the Guilty Ones.

Little Rock. July 8.-Still tht wave of crime continues to sweep over Little Rock, and the author ities are completely at a loss as to the identity of the culprits. Arrests are made daily, but though convictions are had, there is nothing to fasten upon the, prisoners any connection with the many crimes which are going unpunished, as the crime for which they are convicted al- ways turns out to be their first offense. Good hauls are being made daily by the porch climbers and sneak thieves, who watch for an open door and then ran- sack the house beneath the nose of the occupants. Some of the crimes are directly tracable to a boy who has recently escaped from the State reformitory, but who knows the plain clothed police so we'll as they cannot get within blocks of him. He has defied capture and has not left the city tor full two weeks. The freak of all the burglarities com- mitted recently has just been discovered in the raid upon the house at Eighth and Wclf streets. The burglars removed transom from rear door to get into this residence, ransacked the house, but took nothing but the tram som, which has not yet been To- cated by the officers. So free is the robbing that chief McMahon has issued a general order to the police to bring in every vagrant or suspicious character, and strict will be the handling of the cases in the police court so as to rid the city of this worthless class.
