All good Democrats settle
their differences at the Primary
Election. After the Primary the
Democrats have one ticket, and
every loyal, true Democrat will
support such ticket, regardless
of whether it is composed OF
men of his choice, or not. A
Democrat is one from principle,
and when his associates make
known their choice in the Pri-
mary he will abide by it, and do
his part to see that ticket elect
ed. There Is but one wav to
maintain party organization
and that is for every true party
man to vote his party ticket,
straight, and do his duty in ev-
cry respect by soliciting Others
to do so. The time for individ-
ual Democrats to make their
fight is before the Primary and
not afterward.

.fHETDNINT No. 10.

Amendment No. fO-the Bond
Amendment-to be voted on at
the coming election, is one that
should particularly engage the
attention of the people.
Senator James p Glare is out
IN the Little Rock papers, in
very strong letter. opposing this
Amendment and he uses many
.cogent reasons for his position.
One objection to the Amend
ment is that it is too loosely
drawn, and the fear is entertain
ed that under its provisions,
double taxes could be imposed.
Another and most serious objec-
ton is, that if the Amendment is
adopted, the people will have no
saw as to whether bonds are to
be issued or not. as there is no
provision made by the Amend
ment for a vote on that ques-
ton. The Senator. also, con-
tends that Improvement District
Bonds, such as many of the cit
les and towns now have out
standing, would have to be paid
out Of other funds, and not
from the tax collected under the
new Bond Amendment. He, al
so, contends that the rate of tax
provided for the liquidation of
the bonded indebtedness is in
sufficient to pay the interest,
alone, and hence an insurmount-
able bonded Indebtedness would
grow upon the state, which
would eventually have to be
paid with increased taxation.
He urges other reasons against
its adoption. but the above emu
merated ones are sufficient to
put the people on guard. As for
our own part we confess that
Senator Clarke's letter has
weakened our faith in this par
ticular Amendment, and. unless
our mind changes, we expect to
drop it as if it were loaded, let
Others do as they like.

One of the worst enemies to
the temperance cause Is snakes.
The people have long had the
idea that whisky was an anti
dote for snake-bite, and so deep
" and radically has such theory
been impressed upon mankind
that few men will venture out
on rivers and lakes, on a fishing
excursion, without a Jug OF this
snake-bite remedy When, on
the road, they discover a snake
track, in the dust, which LEAVES
them in doubt as to whether the
saake that made the track was
going north or coming back, =
and having an abiding faith IN
the ada2e that IAN ounce OF
preventive is worth a pound of
cure" they forthwith take a
nip" from the jug; and this,
perhaps, being repeated a half
dozen times before reaching
their destination. they are. on
arriving at their camping.site.
prepared for all corners of
snakes. 1t goes against the
will TO drink this vile stuff, of
course. but self preservation
Is the hrst Ia Is o! nature.

Under normal conditions the
American people are Democrat
ic. and this wear there are other
things to induce them to vote
the Democratic ticket. The Re-
publican party. with all OF its
boasts Of prosperity, has failed
to avert a disastrous panic, and
as a consequence thousands OF
men are out of employment, and
women and children are on the
verge of starvation. These peo-
pie will naturally desire a
change with the hope of better
ing their condition, and since
Democracy has offered protec-
ton, to labor, in its platform it
is safe to assume that the labor
vote will be Democratic. this
time.
