Local Republicans were elated yesterday over the selection of John $. Sherman as running mate for w. H. Taft, for the vice presidency. It is well known fact that the Republicans of Arkansas have been consider ably split over recent turns in several of the counties of the state, and in many sections the loyalty to Taft was not what was expected of Arkansas. This contending element has been en- tirely won over by the selection of Sherman. as he is well known to Arkansas Republicans, and they say he is a good fellow. Another thing to make the Re- publicans of Arkansas happy, is the selection of Powell Clayton as chairman of the Republican National Committee. The Re- publicans say Arkansas is going to get more recognition than this four years hence, and inti- mate that they have large plans on, but further than this they are not talking.

OUR TEMPERANCE BANNER. By J. E. Godbey.

 Tune: The Star Splangled Banner. Oh say can you sec by the light of the morn, Our Temperance Banner 50 gallantly waving? Like the emblem of hope and redemp- tion it's form, To all whom the minions of Rum are enslaving. It tells of the day when King Alchol's sway Shall pass like vision of terror away, And our Temperance Banner Tn triumph shall wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave. Oh, say can you hear from the noun tain and vale, From city and hamlet the tramp of our legions? They are gathering in strength, the proud foe to assaIl, And chase the fell fend to his own gloomy regions. And conquer we must, for our cause IS so just; And this is our motto, In God is our trust And our Temperance Banner in triumph shall wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave. An! why should our national banner yet bear A stain on her fair folds-our shame's recognition. Let us wipe off the blot Let us boldly declare, "No end to our conflict but state pro- hibition. Then once more on the foe, no quarter to show, No truce till the demon of rum is laid low; And the Star Spangled Banner all stain less shall wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave.

1t permits men OF such principles and
such sentiments to avow and act On
them with impunity."
In conclusion Mr.. Roosevelt said:
do not for a moment believe that
the actions of this administration
have brought on business distress: so
lar as this is due to local and not
worldwide causes, and to the actions
OF any articular individuals, 1t is duo
to the specuIatively folly and fragrant
dishonesty of few men of great
wealth, who seek 10 shield themselves
from the effects of their own wrong
doing by ascribing it's results to the
actions Of those who have Sought to
put a stop to the wrongdoing. But if
1t were true that to cut out rotten
ness from the body polite meant a
momentary check TO an unhealthy
seeming prosperity, | should not for
one moment hesitate to put the knife
to the corruption. On behalf of all
our people, on behalf no less of the
honest man of means than OF the hon
est man who earns each days liver,
hood by that days sweat of his brow.
it is necessary to insist upon honesty
IN business and politics alike, in all
walks of life, in big things and in lit
tie things; upon just and fair deal
ing as between man and man.

king and country had been placed in
d dangerous position. The crisis arose
from the fact that the cabinet, which
represented exclusively the new liberal
group, found its program OF reforms
INSTRUCTED by both the old conserya-
i've and the progressive parties and
decided to ask for the dissolution OF
parliament in order to bring about
the PRONUNCIATION of a number Of
measures by means of DEGREES.
The cabinet was of the opinion that
thus having established its determine
ton to reOrganize the affairs of the
country it could appeal with the full
est confidence to the people in a gen
oral election, The opposition at
tached the king for dissolving parlia-
ment, declaring this to be an uncon-
stitutional step.
Premier Franco published a decree
dissOlying the chamber and stated
that after seven months of strife
he had found it impossible to govern
with parliament and to carry out mis-
legislative program which included a
policy of social and economic reforms
and efficient party control of the ad.
ministration. In this he established
veritable dictatorship and since then
has governed with an iron hand.

Romance of the Fur Trade.

No more fascinating Romance of
trade exists than the efforts of an
army of Adventures in the waste
places, charged with the annual fur
production of the world, which now
amounts to $25,000,000. Here is the
Oldest industry known to man, and
one beyond the reach of any trust,
since any lonely trapper can throw
his pelts on the market at his own
price. So writes William G. Fitz-
Gerald in the Technical World Maya
zine.
I will remark in passing that The fur
hunters have probably done more
world-exploring than any other travel
ers. 1t was the little beaver that
lured men from the st. Lawrence to
the Mississippi and thence to the
Rockies. Again it was the sable that
led the tribesmen of Asiatic Russia
across to far Ksmchatka; and the
big sea otter. lured the Spanish and
the English, with Russians and Amer
leans, all round the world in crazy
craft; exploring our Pacific coast from
Alaska to California.
Today Canada alone produces over
100000 worth of furs every year;
and to this Alaska now adds $750,000
of raw pelts, and Labrador probably
half this amount. Until a decade or
so ago the Prybiloffs and other seal
islands sent out $2,50O,000 worth OF
skins annually; and then of course
We have the enormous quantities
dressed and manufactured for the
home markets.

Washington, Feb. 3-The house
passed without division the Sulloway
bill granting fiat pension to all wild
ows of honorable discharged
soldiers of $12 per month. It's
provisions were explained by lis au-
thor who said it involved an addi-
tional expenditure of $12,741,000 He
spoke of the destitute widows of sol
diers who were unable to secure pen
sions because Of some technjcalrtv #
law regarding property holdings and
received applause when he said these
technicalities should be swept away.
The senate adopted without debate
a resolution offered by Mr.. Cullom de
pIoring the unlawful, inhuman death
of the king and crown prince of Portu-
gal and requesting the president to
communicate the resolution to the
government Of Portugal
A political debate occurred in the
house. 1t was opened by Mr.. Town
send of Michigan, who, in prepared
speech, claimed for the republican
party credit for all national legislation
in the last so years of vital interest to
the public. In this he was vigorously
disputed by Mr.. Cochran of New York
who afterWard launched into dis
cussion Of the presidents message OF
few days ago, his remarks fire
quently eVoking applause On both
sides of the chamber. The presi
dents utterances in that document
he declared, were such that neither
party could ignore, for he had named
conditions for which both must con
tend. He characterized President
Roosevelt as the only CRUSADER in
the republican party, and said that he
could not, in view of his statements
with honor again accept a nomination
for the presidency. Bryan, also, was q
crusader, and he believed that with
the presidents message as his guide
Bryan would become the foreordained
champion of law and order. Mr.. Hep
burn also defended the PRESIDENT
message and said that condemnation
Of it had come only from the great
malefactors Of the age land the gen
tleman from Ohio" meaning Senator
Foraker.
Representative Cary Of Wisconsin
offered a joint resolution authorizing
the president to at once appoint a
commission to inquire into the charges
that the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies are maintaining
a community of interest in restraint
Of trade and contrary to law" and that
curing the recent strike of union teIeg-
raphers, these companies transmit
ted kilograms by mail and delivered
them under the pretense that they
had been transmitted by wire.

cred an eloquent appeal in the senate
in favor of an appropriation by con
gress of 100000 for a government,
