themselves that they will not vote or Cannon for speaker and candi- dates of both parties are being asked for pledges that they will not vote to readopt the present house rules.
 It is clear that the man who se- cured the insertion in the Denver platform of a plank against the house autocracy had much better conception of public sentiment on the subject than anyone in Washing ton. The methods by which the house is governed have been criti- cised for years, every since the Reed rules came into being, in fact; but no one, certainly no one prominent in the house Organization" realized there was any serious amount of public sentiment on the subject.
 It is astonishing how little the average organization" man knows of public sentiment in the West, anyhow, but some of them are learn ing, to their sorrow. No case is more to the point than that of Sena- tor Long of Kansas, who had stood in with the anti-Roosevelt organiza- ton in the senate, and then on com ing up for reelection. was turned down and Roosevelt man, J. l.. Bristow, chosen.
 Joe Cannon may agtin weather the storm created by his opposi- ton to every measure offered in be- half of the people, but public senti- ment will be soon so crystallized against him that it will have to be needed or the party he represents TO down.

HOSPITAL TRUSTEE MEETING

At least ripple of interest will
 be created by the announcement
 that the trustees of the Kansas City
 Southern Employees Hospiatl As
 sociation are to meet in Kansas City
 next Monday. The prolonged in-
 activity on the part of those respon- sible has long since become painful to the citizens of Mena, particularly so to those whose good money has
 been tied up in idleness for a period of time considerably more than a year.
 As a strictly business proposition, propably no one is more surprised at Mena's patience in this hospital mat ter than Chairman Coughlin and the members of the hospital board of trustees. They know that Mena has met every condition placed upon her, has cheerfully conceded to every demand, and been ever ready to more than carry out her part of the agreement by which she was to re- ceive the big hospital. They are aware that had such an agreement been made between individuals and one of them been as dilatory in doing his part as has the hospital association, and thereby have placed upon the other interested party as much of loss and injury as has been suffered by Mena, radical steps to secure fulfllment of contract and redress would long since been taken.
 But Mena has taken first one ex- cuse and then three or four others. until those who have defended the delay and expressed faith in the outcome have been reduced to few in number and even less in courage. In fact, every time they have been given new hope of some definite steps toward building the hospital in the near future, they have had their feet knocked from under them by some new phase arising to throw all again into an indefinite shape
 However, a meeting of the board of trustees shows there is something going on. It may or may not bring about the immediate building of the hospital, but if real progress is made we will try and have further pa tience. Is there is no forward step taken. it would seem to be about time for Mena, through her repre- to take hand in the to the end that she at least find out where she is at.

they had seen, came here to live---to make homes, and to assist in ths work of bringing progress and pros perity.
 The same energy and foresight, backed by the liberality of Mena's citizens, has faithfully carried on the work year by year without a miss, and there has been steady upward prog ress, until this year the cost of the fair has run into the thousands, all borne by the people of Mena save for a goodly number of special pre- miums given by Fort Smith estab- lishments whose dealings with this city are large and who realize the value of advertising their wares in such a manner. The greatest achievement this year is the secur- ing of grounds for the fairs for this and years to come, and the improve ment of the grounds and construc- tion of buildings.
 And it is certainly proper to re- member that all the people who furnish the money and all those who put forth effort must look to the fu- ture prosperity of Mena and Polk county for their reward. There has never been dollar made by these save as they shared in the growth and progress and prosperity that came to all.
 When the people of Polk county gather in Mena next week they will show the world in many ways the betterment that has come to them  in the past twelve years. They will show that they are better educated, better clothed and that they live better than in the other years. They will have better horses, mules, wag- ons and the increased exhibits of products will be far superior in every detail to those shown in 1897. In these particulars the gain probably has been even greater than the size and pretensions of the fair itself.
 But Mena has put forth her best efforts. She has opened her purse and now opens her arms to those who will be her guests on this the occasion of the celebration of our Twelfth Anniversary, August IS, 19 and 20.
The Mena weekly star., 1908-08-13

cuse for not knowing better did ma terial harm by stating that the work being done on the grounds was all for the benefit of a particular South sice business man. The result was to put stop to an organized move ment to do improvement work on the grounds.
 Any man who cares to know may, on investigation find that the grounds were bought by number of Mena's most enterprising men and these men made lease to the Fair associ- ation absolutely free for ten years, or as long as the association cares to use the grounds for fair purposes. The association is to get all revenue from the grounds fand own all the buildings, with which it can do as it pleases.
 The men who furnished the mon- cy for purchasing the grounds will have stock according to the amount they have put up, and should any feel that it is an especially good thing, they are most cordially in- vited to come into the fold and buy a share or more.
 It may be good chance to make money by being patriotic and help ing the fair and your city and county.
 Better quit knocking and get in line.

FINDING OUT THINGS.

Prominent members of the House of Representatives who have been in Washington recently have evidenced much interest in the fight being made in various parts of the conn- try against the reelection of "Unele Joe" Cannon as speaker of the 6lst Congress. The thing is without a parallel. they declare, in the history of American politics. In a number of states Republican candidates for Congress are being asked to pledge

Southern tracks within the limits of the city, and, besides that, it is nc unusual thing for both these cross ings to be blockaded for periods of from a few minutes to even hours this latter at nights when, ordi. narily, there is little or no travel. Even the ordinary passenger trains blockade one of the streets, and if little longer than usual, both are closed.
 Aside from all this inconvenience, it is worthy of notice that should a fire break out on the South Side, the delay in getting across with the fire equipment. would, if the tracks were blocked at the time, be re- sponsibe for heavy losses.
 It is we'll known, too, that the greatest pleasure drive around Mena is to Bethesda Springs and Dallas. In order to reach that road from the best residence portion of the city. people are compelled to drive con- siderable distances to reach the De Queen street crossing, always more less dangerous because of switch engines and trains, and then drive parallel and close to the tracks for several blocks, all of which is not only unpleasant but at times posi- lively a heavy risk, especially to women and children.
 1t is believed that the Kansas City Southern railroad officials fully realize the unsatisfactory conditions existing, and that they will give heed promptly to request for re- liet on the part of the citizens of Mena, as represented by her citv officials and business organization

Jonesboro merchants have made up wagonload of merchandise of all kinds as premium to the man who brings in the first bale of cot ton this season. That or any simi- lar move is a good thing in that it stimulates rivalry that begets supe- rlority. This was the purpose of Mena's annual fairs. There cannot be too much encouragement given the man who does his best.

The new fair grounds present a busy scene to the observers these days, the large forces of men work ing with will to get ready for the big celebration less than two weeks off. If you have an interest in Mena and have days labor to give to your city and county. your assistance will be appreciated these days and it is needed, too.

rlENA'S TWELFTH ANNlVER-
 SARY.

This is the Twelfth consecutive year that Mena has had it's Anniver- sary Celebration and Fair, and this period covers the full life of our city save only the first twelve months.
 As is generally known by those who have long been a part of Mena the date of her founding was placed by the people then here as August IS, 1906. At that date there prob ably was not to exceed 1 ,500 people, mostly living in tents, on the present townsite, and on the day named the Kansas City Southern, then known as the Kansas City. Pittsburg & Gulf. ran it's first excursion into Mena. The event was mainly notable for it's utter failure, this because at that time there had been no rainfall tor something like sixty days drouth said to have been unequaled in more than quarter of d century.
 Nevertheless. there were people he-e who had faith in Mena and who proposed to stay and help by their works to make their faith a realty.
 When a year had almost rolled around these men and women, too sought method to show those who would see what could be done in Polk county, what it could and did produce, and, of even greater value, to bring the people themselves to- gether with some feature that would hold the interest of all---this to the end that all might see what the most progressive had done, learn how they had done it, and start whole some rivalry that would result in the uprising--the progress---of all. It was decided that the best method of accomplishing this purpose was to hold free county fair---no admis- sion fee and no exhibitors fee.
 To do this it was necessary that the business men of Mena raise all the funds necessay to carry out the project--premiums offered and all the items of necessary cost. That first year but about S400 was secured for the purpose. but the event was a success. It brought the people to Mena from all over this section who had never before been in the city, and. too, a few who came from else where. The former returned to their homes grateful for what they had seen, appreciative of the efforts made to please them, and resolved to come again next year. The lat ter. some from afar. because of what
