renee of any disturbing events at this time This is said with out desire unjustly to reflect on any one else, but since the differences in policies result i'll disturbing condition, l believe there is no doubt but that 1 should set aside my individual in this regard and withdraw from the contest for the Denver honor, and announce that hence forth and for the remainder of the term 1 will remain in the governors office and within the borders of the state, thereby in- suring a continuance of my pOli- cy to let well enough alone and involve the state in no further discord.
 Il hope and believe, however, that Senator Davis will be left at home; there are plenty of men in the party by far my sup erior from whom to select suit able delegate to take the posi- tion Senator Davis seeks.
 With feelings of the greatest gratitude to the delegates and the people who were supporting me, and whom l believe stand ready to elect me, if 1 were to continue my candidacy, l beg to remain. most sincerely,
 Your friend,

Many Farms In the Northern Portion of Crayson County, Owing to Flood In Red River, Are Likely to Become Attached to Oklahoma

Denison, May 2S.-Water reached the town of Preston and families mov- cd out. This rich farming district, great cotton growing section, the gar den spot of Red River valley, has dis appeared. It is estimated that from Preston west to the Cooke county line 50,000 acres are under water. Many farms on the Texas side, owing to the change of channel, will belong to Ok lahoma. A house went down the river with man clinging to the roof When the facts are known it is believed that many will be found to have perished in the flood. Houses have come down Red river, but from where, it is not known.

It is possible that .be teachers and other employees or the various institutions will ho elected at this meeting of the Roard Capt. Braley states, however. that this may not De done. although it is customary for the Board to elect during May or June. If this is done the Board will be in session Tour days in all probability.
 The State penitentiary Board is also expected to meet Monday but an adjournment may be tax. en directly after the allowing of the nav rolls and bills, until af- ter the Democratic Convention. The most important matter which may come up at this meet ing is the let ting of q contract ,or convicts to supercede the nresent contract with the Reaves construction Company. From the past incidents it appears that a majority of the Board favor an other contract, from the Tact that without money arising from the contractors, the operation oi the Peniteutiary is said to De well nigh impossible.
 A report from Dr. R. L. Russell, penitentiary Phy sician. regard ing conditions at the state Farm in Lincoln County is also expect cd. at that time.
 It is now believed that all members of the Board will be present at the Monday meeting.

WM Not Be
 a Candidate
Will Not Allow the Use of His Name as One
 of Denver's Big Four

Little Rock, May 2S.-Gov. K. o. Pindall yesterday made for nal announcement that he had withdrawn from the race for de- legate-at-large from Arkansas to
 the National Democratic Con- vention at Denver He explain ed his withdrawal by saying that he thought te people of the state did not care for a repeti- tion of the recent gubernatCr- ial controversy, which resulted from his leaving the state and going to Washington, D. C., and that he had decided, as the re- suit, never again to leave the boundaries of the state during the time he occupies the govern OTIS chair. Gov. Pindall also ex- presses the hope and belief that United States Senator Jeff Dav- is will not be sent to Denver as one of the delegates.
 The statement follows:
 ITO the Delegates of the State
 Convention
 When several weeks ago l an- nounced myself as a candidate for delegate-at-large to the national convention. 1 was very very anxious to have the honor Of being one of Arkansas repre- sentatives on that occasion, and l was particularly anxious to defeat Senator Davis for this position The effect of my de- claration to become a candidate was to bring to me from every section of the state ample assur' ances. of success, and these as surances were so numerous that there was no question in the world of my election.
 Since that declaration you are all familiar with what transpir- ed during my brief visit to Wash. ington, and how my absence iron the state caused the discord and created the chaotic conditions which resulted in the recent bat tie against a special session ol the legislature. Since we sue. ceeded in preventing the specia session, l was disposed at first to continue my candidacy for g Denver delegate, taking tt frs view that this second abSenr from the state would not ser iously affect the public inter est. Mature reflection has calls ed me to decide differently, how ever, and while 1 do not clain perfection for myself or the con duct of the official affairs. cannot get away from tn, thought that the people of tn state do not desire an opportun ity for a repetition or recur

MRS. PARKER
CaSket Rested Beneath a Pail
of Maidenhair Ferns and

Under a pail of maidenhair ferns and

JOHN MILTON.

Tn the whirl and excitement atten- dant on passing events perhaps com paratively few readers remembered that last Thursday was the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Milton, who lacked but little, if anything. of being the greatest of all modern poets. That he was not ap- preciated as he should have been in his own time and coventry detracts nothing from his genius. Other poets who have lived and sung long since his day also failed during their lives to obtain the. recognition and appre- ciation that have been freely accorded them since they passed away.
 John Milton was a poet in the very highest sense of the term; not writer of light and frivolous verse to catch the ears of the passing throng, but a poet whose mind reached up to the sublime and whose pen recorded the highest ideals of the poetic nature. Al classic as long as poetry of the best type is read and admired among men. If he had written nothing else that one book was enough to ensure his place among the greatest masters of composition who have lived on earth, While perhaps none of his other works can rank with his Paradise Lost" he wrote much and well in vari- ous strains, both minor and major and left behind him. not only as a poet but as a writer of prose, such a fame as has been accorded to few. of the uninspired. It was well that the ter centenary of his birth should have been remembered and observed.

THEY WILL NOT DARE.

The strictly Republican Indianapolis Star has no sympathy with the sug- gestion which has been discussed. that the Republican Legislature of Oregon should ignore the choice of the people when they selected ex-Governor Cham berlain for United States Senator. The condition in that State is anomal- ous. At regular primary. held under the laws of Oregon and admittedly fairly conducted, the voters chose Mfr. Chamberlain as the man the Legisla- ture should elect United states Sena- tor. But the people elected a Repub- lican Legislature. and Taft carried the State Now. the members of the Leg islature of both the parties pledged themselves to carry out and ratify the choice of the voters as shown in the primary, yet in the face of all these undisputed facts some of the Republi- can leaders have seriously advised

 Bitterly Assalls President-Elect Taft's
 Brother for Ills Senatorial Aspirations. Cincinnati Special
 Acting as a private citizen. Aaron Ferris. founder of the Roosevelt Republican Club and one of Cinclnnati's foremost lawyers, has written seathing letter to Charles P. Taft anent the candidacy of the President elects brother for the United States Sem ate.
 Ferris declares that Charles P. Taft has 'unremittingly used the powerful forces at his command in perpetuating one of the wiekedest political organizations that ever afflicted an American municipality" He declares that if Charles P. Taft goes to the Senate he will greatly embarrass his broth CT, the President-elect, and demands to know what c. P. Taft has ever done to en- title him to represent the State of Ohio in the highest law-making body of the Repub- lie. He declares that C. P Taft contribute ed largely to his brothers campaign ex- penses and that but for those vast expend- itures of money he would have no chance on earth of going to the Senate. Continu- ing, he says:
 ',The fact would remain that. should you be elected to that body 1t would be eharg- ed in the public press and elsewhere that you had bought your way into the Senate and. while the President-e elect had in no way been party to your election, he would be charged with being party to the bar gain. and having understood beforehand that the election to the Senate was to be VOtr nav
