Major Lacey as citizen. soldier and
statesman Is worthy of the highest
praise. He Is known as fighter, but is
always willing to receive as we'll as
give blows. He is fair fighter, an hon
orable competitor. He will stand for
the protective tariff and for the entire
republican ticket from William II.
Taft down to constable. He announced
In his speech of acceptance that he
had never voted for a democrat In his
life. He also announced that he would
make decent, clean campaign for the
republican party and the entire repub-
lican ticket. and take his chances on
the senatorship at the primary booth
on Nov. 8. He said his course would be
such as not to injure the general cause
OF republication. His speech to the
conference which nominated him was
dignified and manly. It ought to have
been reported In full.
The conference was made up of ear
nest men who have devoted their lives
to the republican party. Their work
represents their sentiment. They be-
lieve In Major Lacey. They believe in
the doctrine Of protection. On these
lines they expect to press their cause.
They are pledged to make no personal
criticism of Governor Cummins, Gov
ernor Culnmins Is pledged to make the
same dignified campaign that is prom

PROHIBITION IS
 NOT AN ISSUE
Anfi-SdIOOn League Says Candi- dates for Governor Are all
 Sound on Temperance

The Arkansas Anti-Saloon League, through it's state super intendent, Edward A. Tabor, has issued a statement to the effect that the league proposes to stay strictly out of the gubernatorial controversy, allowing the candi- dates to fight the battle on other issues. The statement appended outlines clearly the policy of the nti-Saloon League.
 Until now we have given out no public statement concerning the attitude of the several candi- dates for governor, for the sim pie reason that, knowing the ab- solute sOundness of each one of them on the temperance question, based upon the many years of acquaintance with each of them, and having seen them tested un- der varying circumstances we have adhered to the peremptory rule of the Anti-Saloon League, that where all candidates are friendly to our cause, we let them fight it out on their respective points of difference without rais- ing ours, upon which they all agree.
 Had the saloon element known the absolute loyalty of each of the three candidates for governor they would have forced out a man and pitted him against the field, but now we are safe, as it is too late for any new Richmond to enter.
 80 we feel safe in saying that if statewide prohibition was as sure from a legislative standpoint as it is from the governors, we would be safe. Our weakest point is the senatorial situation. Our friends in all parts of the state should use every effort to secure true men as senators and representatives from their re- spective counties. v

NO LIQUOR ON PulLMAns.

The Pullman Palace Car Com- pany has decided to discontinue the sale of intoxicating liquors on its cars in every section of the country. The decision was ar rived at sometime ago and gen. eral notice has been sent to all persons in charge of cars that except in cases of extremely long runs, the practice will be discon- tinued. Prosecutions for viola tions of the prohibitory laws of of the different states and coun- ties have eliminate all profit from this source and the compa- ny will quit as soon as the stock of liquors now on hand is dispos- ed of.

RHOTON WILL
 MEET DAVIS
At Casa and Perryville, Says the Arkansas Democrat of
 Today.

Prominent men of Perryville and Casa have written to Prose- cutting attorney Rhoton that they will urge Senator Davis to divide time with him when the senator speaks at both places on March 18th.
 There is a train leaving Perry, the railroad station, three miles from Perryville, about 4o'clock in the afternoon, for Casa, and Senator Davis is expected to take this after making his Perryville speech, so if he divides time with Attorney Rhoton he would have to make some other arrange ments. These other arrange ments the speaker is not expect ed to make, but as soon as he fin ishes he will make a run for the train, leaving Prosecuting Attor- ney Rhoton to defend himself against whatever charges Davis makes, and thus miss the train for Casa.
 Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton has thought of all these things, and will defend himself in Perry vile, regardless of trains, and when he is through speaking drive overland to Casa, arriving there in plenty of time to attend the night speaking. The prose cutting attorney is adding anu milton to his battery for those two speeches, and a great many people of Little Rock are expect ed to go to Casa to hear the night speaking, anticipating something exceptionally warm.

HINEMON CLUB
 WAS FORMED
Mass Meeting in Interest of Statewide Prohibition Held
 Thursday dtLittIe Rock.

Special to the Dinner Horn.)
 The mass meeting of the pro- hibition element of the city at the Y. M. c. A. auditorium, Little Rock, Thursday evening, in the interests of the candidates that announce in favor of Statewide prohibition. resulted in a very enthusiastic gathering and in the formation of a Hinemon Club of several hundred members. There were number of prom inent men and politicians present. among them Col. G. w. Murphy and Reverand Amis, while Judge Barham presided.
 The meeting had not been in session long until it dawned upon those present that the meeting was for the purpose of forming a Hinemon Club and launch the Hinemon boom. and a greatpany left the meeting.
 During the progress of the meeting Rev. J. J. Hurt of Con- way, who had come out to attend the gathering, very abruptly left the hall. He stated in an inter- view following his action that he regarded the meeting as for no other purpose except for the formation of a HinemOn club, and that as he was not in sympathy with a movement of that kind he did not care to remain longer; that he was in favor of prohibi- tion, but did not think it neces- sary to align himself with MT. Hinemon politically in order to carry out the cause of prohibition. There appeared to be others in the audience who were opposed to the unanimous endorsement of Hinemon by the meeting, and af- ter adjournment an informal eau GUS was held, but no resolution or action is given out.

MINOR WALLACE
 ON W. J. BRYAN
A r k a n sa Representative Pays Beautiful Tribute
 to Platte Orator.
Congressman Minor Wallace's S tribute to w. J. Bryan:

tribute to w. J. Bryan:
 ''To employ a scriptural term, Mir. Bryan is a man who is be- come as one of us. A man who has borne himself beyond the promise of his years doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lyon. A man who in the Amer ican Congress made two speeches that built for him a monument that cast it's shadow across the continent. A man who spoke his party platform into being, and himself foremost in his party's choice-frst in his party's gift.
 A man who twice bore the commission of his party for the Presidency and polled more votes than any other Democrat living or dead. Indeed, in the minds of thousands there is an abiding conviction that, like Tilden in 1876. he was elected in 1896; but, forsooth, Tilden was deposed un- der the mockery of law, and Bry- an unhorsed by pernicious alter natives to the electorate and pur- chase of electors, in defiance of law! Applause.
 A man who entered the arena of the national Democratic con- vention of 1904, himself not a candidate, but champion of a platform of principles, and lost; but emerged from the ordeal, in the judgment of that convention, a Titan more powerful than be- fore stronger and bigger, per- haps, than any other man in it the matchless triumph of ardent conviction and compelling force! [Applause.]
 Stern as Jackson, astute as Clay, and like Clay he would rather be right than President.
 With he opportunity afforded in such a station he might verify the assertion of the ancient Plato:
 That every state will be relieved Of it's calamaties when by the favor oI fortune great power unites with wis dom and justice in one man.
 That he would be great in the greatest office of the Govern ment more than half the country has registered it's conviction at the polls. But that he is great without it the whole country knows. Hence it is not conclu- sive that political preferment of any character could exalt him to heights where, as an orator and a thinker, he has exalted hlm- self. A man, however, in whose hands the people would look on public office as public trust; Tn whom labor finds a friend, liberty a companion. civic order an apostle, the country a patriot and God a servant in His vine yard of the noblest types of clean. honest, self-controlllng man under the stars! [ApplauseJ
 Ending as l began, l declare my firm belief in the wisdom ot the Democratic convention to nominate the great commoner by exclamation. If elected the coun- try will have President and no more than a President. If not elected-in the current half cen tury of our politilal history-it will. with two honorable except ions from the East, have 0een demonstrated that no Democrat from other sec ions than theSouth has or can be elected, and for the future we shall turn again to the mother of States and of men not only for candidates, but for Pres idents. History repeats itself!

PROVED HERSELF A HEROINE.
Thrilling Experience of Young
School Teacher in MICHIGAN.

ALPENA, Mich, October 2l.-Amon4
the most thrilling experiences of surviv-'
ors Of the Pressure Isle county forest
fires was that OF Miss Grace Barber, q
school teacher. nineteen years old whose
school in Krakow township was in ses-
sion when the flames swept down upon
the building Thursday. A terrified farmer
had rushed into the building to give tho
alarm just as the rear of the schoolhouse
caught fire.
The young teacher marshaled her pupils
in a double row. the largest at the head.
and not TO break the line. She then d.
rected the leaders to head for a plowed
field nearby and the column started on q
run. Miss Barber bringing up the rear to-
prevent struggling. Burning embers fell
thick but the teacher kept the children
crowded close together and every ember
was extinguished the instant it fell upon
any childs clothing.
The fire burned steadily for some time
as the blaze in the tops of the trees ate
its way down. Soon animals appeared on
the edge of the field. and during the night
two bears made their appearance. A fox
came sinking in. did also a wild cat.
rabbits. cartridges and other game. But
the animals kept well away from the chi-
dren, not even the bears offering hostile
demonstrations. Miss Barber kept her
charges in the field all Thursday night
and in the morning sent them home in
groups. plotting the smaller ones herself.

placed a buoy on the wreck to warn YES
sci masters to keep away.
