The "Rea" Prosneritu

At the present time one cannot but
pause and marvel at the unparalleled
prosperity which now hovers over this
progressive nation. Every industry
throughout the country is fourishing
as never before and a full dinner
pail confronts every tradesman and
laborer who is willing to toll From
east to west and from north to south
comes the demand for men: harvest
time is at hand and some industries
may suffer for lack of help There
is no excuse for a single idler in the
United States under present condi-
tions, neither has there been for some
years past-but just now the field of
opportunity is broader and better than
ever. And the end is not yet: ad-
vancement is certain where confidence
is so pronounced and general. The
country is without a serf or a slave,
and with plenty of work at good wages
should inspire everyone with a desire,
from a political standpoint, to leave
well enough alone. Just now there is
a dearth of political talk, but never.
theless, it is well to remember that
invariably times are good while the
Republican party holds in. And who
would care TO, or can truthfully deny
It? Let's have no thought of going
back to the dark period of few
years aSo.-.Wyoming Press.

Askinu Too Much.

They were trying to explain to the
Australian bushman the principle Of
the curved ball. That's all rot, he
said. IT'S easy enough to throw a
boomerang so it will turn around and
come back to you, but nobody can
make me believe you can throw a
round ball so it will describe a curve.

Fires Shotgun With Stick.

A tragic chapter in the story of the failure of the Bradford bank at Brad ord was added at Il o'clock Wednes- l day night when H. J Drennen, cashier of the bank, while a fugitive from jus | ice wanted for embedding between 5000 and $10 1000 from the bank, com mit ed suicide by blowing out his l brains with a shotgun. He killed him | self in the barn at his home in Brad | fCrd just seven hours after leaving the tank for the last time, and only a few hours after a warrant was issued for his arrest on the charge of em- bezzlement His body was not found i until Thursday morning.
 The shot, when Drennen discharged ! the gun, was heard throughout Brad
 ford, but no attention was paid to it at the time. Drennen's wife was ab- sent from home at the time, visiting
 at Jonesboro. Only his three small children were at home.
 The charge from the gun blew off the entire crown of Drennen's head
 and his brains were scattered over several feet.
 At a recent meeting of the direc- tors of the bank it was decided that the books of the institution should be examined. James Johnson of Scar cy lawyer. but formerly an expert accountant, was em-
 ployed to examine the books.
 During the examination We'd
 nesday errors began to show up and
 at o'clock Drennen walked out the
 back door Nothing was thought of
 his departure until some time had
 elapsed, and he failed to return. By
 that time it had been definitely ascer-
 tained that the bank was short be-
 tween $8,000 and $l0,000, and a war
 rant was issued for the cashiers ar
 rest and search instituted for him.
 It was learned later that he went di-
 ractly from the bank to his home,
 where he secured his shotgun and
 went out into the woods. He was
 not seen after that until his body was
 found Thursday morning.
 Drennen killed himself by discharg
 ing his shotgun with a stick. He held
 the barrel of the shotgun in his right
 hand and was still grasping the stick
 in his left when his body was found.
 He had raked up pile of corn shucks
 so that he fell back on them when the
 shot was fired.

To Bridoe the Caddo.

The Clark County Court, which is now in session, appropriated $l,5O0 for two bridges across Caddo river, one at Cashs ford, four miles north of Philadelphia and the other near Amity in the western part of the county. Caddo which is swift noun tainous stream, rises very rapidly and these bridges had long been needed.
 The county judge in his report stated that the roads of the county are in splendid condition.
 Owing to increased property valua- tions the county tax was reduced from mills to mills.

Rock Island on Friday that MT. Taft should be made president of the Uni. ted States for the next eight years and MT. Roosevelt for the eight years fol. lowing MT. Taft's second term.
 As MT. Longworth is President Roosevelts sOnin-law his words are accepted usually as semi-officia for the White House. This is the unfortu- nate feature of his utterance in the present instance
 The American people are Tot look ing for lord protector. Even the most ardent admirers of Mir Roosevelt would not care to make him another Diaz
 With some eight years of the presi- dency behind him next March and with eight years of MT. Taft before him, MT. Roosevelt, according to his son-in-laws ideas, would be able to celebrate on March 4. 1925, nearly a quarter of a century of personal rule over this republic.
 Such a program Is not one to be announced just now, incredible and impossible as it seems. Especially it is not one to be announced from the bosom of MT Rooseyelt's family. Good politics and good taste are both against such utterances.
 Aside from Mir Longworth's plain assumption that MT. Tafts two terms would not constitute even a substan- tial interregnum-with which no real friend of MT Taft can agree-such re- marks regarding the institution of a Roosevelt dynasty are not only shock ing but absolutely damaging to the Republican candidate and the Repub- lican party
 Speaking of the Longworth incident, MT. Josephus Daniels, chairman of the publicity bureau at Democratic head quarters. said:
 The people may take it in their heads in November to knock MT Longworth's nice family arrangement in the head by going outside the close corporation and family monopoly of the presidency That would be sad for the son-in-law but good for the country The remark of MT. Long worth shows that long tenures in of flee for one party makes those in power think they own the government. If for no other reason than to teach the son-inlaw and others near the throne that this is a republic. the voters will decide upon a change in November"

HEADS OF BANKS OPPOSE
Guaranteeing Deposits, But They Arc Willing to Have Postal Savings Bank That Will Carry
 Money to Cities.

MT Taft says he is in favor of postal .o-inqs banks--so does the Republican ~Iatform The Republican party has been in power 12 years. Why hasn't it established postal savings banks? Mr Taft opposes guaranteeing bank 5anoeits The Republicans in Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and other states advocate guaranteeing deposits put the big bankers oppose this protection. What the big bankers say goes with the Republicans Why do they wish nostN savings banks? Because they pnow the money deposited in postal savings banks would go into the big hanks and strengthen their control of tbe finances of the country.

Many Sentences Imposed.

The following sentences were i'm posed by the United States court held at Harrison Saturday last:
 William Allen, Ollie Bedding, Tank Sutton, John T. Wilson and Shadwick were each fined $100 and given 60 days in jail Ebert Noe and Frank Allison were fined $100 and 30 days each in jail.
 Arch c. Gresham, ex-postmaster at Kingston, was fined $1,050 for falsi- fying the records in the cancellation of stamps; Robert w. Brady, who pleaded guilty of safe-blowing in the Mountain Home postoffice last July, was sentenced to 10 years in the Leav- enworth penitentiary and pay fines to the amount of $200. This is said to be the third time he has been convicted of this kind of work, so Judge Rogers gave him the limit. It developed that he had not been out of the pententlary 60 days at the time of the commission of the offense.
 Monroe Tucker was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for breaking into a postoffice in Marion county, Ark.
 Bettis and Dear, two young men from Leslie, Ark, were given two and one-half years in the Missouri train ing school at Boonville, Mo, on a charge of counterfeiting nickels and passing them.

Young Chapline. il is said. had become in fatuated with a woman and was jeal- ous of Swaim's attentions to her as the shooting occurred as Swain came out of her house. The wounds are not serious.

Sam Carver Is Still Alive.

Sam c. Carver. who was shot at Benton by Sam White, Monday after noon, is not dead, as at first reported, but is lowering between life and death, with chances for his recovery not favorable. White is held in jail and public sentiment appears to be strong against him. Numerous rumors were afioat Tuesday that citi- zens would resort to mob violence and attempt to secure and lynch the prisoner. The sheriff deems the stories of the planned assault upon the jail absurd.
