WISHKAH STREET.
Property Owners on This Thorough
:. fare Will Ask for Asphalt Paw
ing and Concrete Walks.

Since the action of the city council
at its last meeting, in directing the
city engineer to prepare plans for
the Improvement of Wishkah street.
from the Wishkah river to Broadway,
the owners of property on this street
have been consulting as to the best
class of pavement to use.
The direction of the council to
the engineer only mentioned vitrified
brick and wood blocks, but many of
the interested owners will ask that
the street be paved with asphalt,
with vitrified brick cutters and con-
crete curbs and sidewalks. A petit
ton will be presented to the city
COUNCIL at the meeting Wednesday
night, expressing the preference of
the owners.
They will also request that all wa
ter and gas mains be laid in the
street, and service pipes carried to
the lot lines before the improvement
is made, in order that the new work
will not have to be torn up to pro-
vide those utilities.

CARPENTERS IN TROUBLE.
Boycott on Transfer Company That
Hauls for Saw Mills, Leaves
Them no Lumber.

Unless the Carpenters Union at it's
meeting tonight recedes from the po-
sition assumed towards the S. W.
Johnston Transfer Co., work in that
line promises to be scarce in Aber-
deem. The transfer company has Sc
cured the hauling for the saw mills
and the carpenters refuse to work the
lumber hauled by this company.
The Johnston scompany had al
ways employed union labor and paid
union wages, and better, until last
spring when the Carpenters Union
made an arbitrary demand that the
company violate contract made
with the contractors on the Seattle
block, and since no opportunity has
been neglected to place this company
under the ban. 1t is believed that the
meeting tonight will realize the error
made in the action of last spring and
recind the unfair" declaration made
against the transfer company
Resident union carpenters will
urge such action at the meeting for
seeing that, as the mill managers are
determined to employ this concern
to haul their lumber, the necessities
of those building will compel the i'm
portation of carpenters from Port
land and the Sound cities. where idle
members of the craft are plentiful,
and that the difficulty will have the
effect of lettering people contemplate
ing building from beginning work
while there is possibility of labor
trouble.

A Result of Local Option

One could not find more force
full or convincing argument in favor
of local option, where the law is
properly enforced, than the fact
that the docket for the coming term
of the Ripley County Circuit Court
which convenes on November 3rd,
contains but one, solitary state, or
criminal case and that is a misde-
meanor, in which the defendant is
charged with wife abandonment.
This is the smallest number in the
history of the county, and is worthy
of special note. The docket is light
there being hut 80 cases all told.

Sa, II They Fall, The Medicine
Costs Nothing

To unqueStionably prove to th'
people of Pocahontas that indigestion
and dyspepsia is durable and tha'
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will eff
feet the cure, we will furnish the
medicine absolutely free if it fails
to give complete satisfaction to al y
one giving it trial. p"
The remarkable success of RexalI
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to
the new and successful method OF
manufacture, whereby the we'll
known properties of BismutE, Sub
nitrate and Pepsin have been COM
bined with carminatives and their
agents,
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsln
are recognized by the entire medical
profession as specifics for acute
indigestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets is manufactured by a
new process which developes Its
greatest efficiency. Pepsin supplies
to the digestive apparatus one OF
the most important elements OF the
digestive fluid, and exerts tonic
influence upon all the glands which
supply all the other elements
necessary to proper assimilation ana
digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturb
ances and pain caused by undigested
food.
The perfect combination of these
Ingredients make a remedy absolute
ly Incompatible and invaluable for
the complete cure of indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We are so positively certain OF
this that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets on our own personal guaran-
tee that they will either cure you
or cost you nothing-Dr. W. +.

Security By Banks

That plank in the Democratic
platform which requires that de-
positors in banks shall be secured
against loss has been the subject of
more violent assault than any one
other proposition made by the party.
"Wlld cat finance" and 'loophole
for dishonest officials" have been
the campaign cries of the opposition.
They seem to forget that there has
always been wildcat banking, and
that loopholes for thieves have not
hitherto been unknown quantities.
Brought down to primer type plain
ness the party proposition is this:
If you go to the bank and ask to
use its money, it requires of you a
gilt-edged guarantee against its loss;
but If 1t takes your money to use
in its business, it gives you abso-
lutely no security against your loss.
Is there any other business on earth
in which you would make such a
one-sided bargain? The Democratic
proposition is that the bank shall
give you an even deal-the same
security for your funds as it exacts
for its own. In a nut shell it says
that what is sause for the bank is
sauce for the depositor

Vote for One)
". A. OLDFIELD. Democrat
i. H. MYERS, Republican
House Will Be Democratic

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The house
will be Democratic by probable
majority of sixty seven and possibly
more, in the opinion of James 7.
Lloyd, chairman of the Democratic
congressional campaign committee,
who made the ante-election predic-
ton today. Lloyd said:
"The present congress consists of
391 members. There have been
elections in Oregon and Maine and
six Republicans have heen chosen
from these states. OF the 3S5 to be
elected, it is reasonably sure that
there will be be 1919 Democrats and
l26 Republicans. "
"This leaves sixty districts to be
classed as doubtful. If our esti.
mates are correct all the doubtful
districts may yet be given to the
Republicans and yet the Democrats
would have majority of seven, but
of the doubtful districts our Judge
ment is that the Democrats have at
least an equal chance and may
probably elect as many as thirty ad-
ditlonal members out of this class
for Democracy, which would make
total of 229 Democrats and 1852
Republicans, Democratic majority
of sixty-seven.
"The principal gains would be in
the northern Mississippi valley and
in New York and Pennsylvania.
The reason for the gain is due to
the dissatisfied people with the ex-
Isting political conditions and their
disgust of the autocratic rule of the
speaker of the house of representa-
tives."

Congressional Elections


elections in Arkansas Fem )cracy i
as safe as it has ever been, and tn,
party is so solidly entrenched tina
it will never be routed from any Of
its strongholds in the State.
Mr.. Macon in the First, Mr.. Old
field in the Second, Mr.. Floyd in
the Third, Mr.. Cravens in the
Fourth, Mr.. Reid in the Fifth, Mr.,
Robinson in the Sixth and Mr.
Wallace in the Seventh are as sure
of election as the sun is to rise in
the east on the Sd of November.
In some of the districts no fight
is being made, although, being
presidential year, the Republicans
have nominee in each.
Some of the nominees are making
active canvasses, but only for APP
pearance's sake, and for the effect it
may have upon their chances at the
pie counter should the unexpected
happen and their party be retained
in power.
The hardest fight is being made
in the Second District, where Ii. II.
Myers is opposing w. A, Old6eld
Myers is making canvass of the
district that includes each county,
and is supported by H. L. Kennel,
marshal for the Eastern District
who is making a number of speeches
for him.
Myers is not really a resident of
the Second District, Little Rock, in
the Fifth, being his home, although
he came from Monroe county in the
Second number of years ago to
accept the position in the land Office
which his political activity caused
him to lose.
Many believe that his loss of the
registership is only Temporarily and
that after his defeat on November
8 he will be reappointed.
But that is another story.
That he should presume to believe
that he can defeat the Democratic
nominee in the Second District is
the thing that is attracting most at
tention now, and it is evident that
he is sincere in the belief that he
has fighting chance to win.
There is no foundation in the
oftrepeated assertions that the Dem
ocratic nominee is losing ground in
the Second, and there is every
reason to believe that his majority
will be greater than that of any OF
his predecessors.
Whether the Republicans have a
fifth ace up their sleeves which they
expect to pull when the time comes,
remains to be seen, and the Demo
Gratis must be alive to every sus.
picious circumstance.
No one must permit a warplng OF
the poll tax laws, for instance, to
present cause of action in contest
ing the vote of any county.
A Republican Judge has pro-
nounced the polltax requirement
unconstitutional, and a Democratic
Legislature accepted his findings to
the extent that it resubmitted the
question to the vote of the people
to determine whether the polltax
receipt should be required.
The amendment prevailed by a
very large majority but it does not
become part of the organic law
until so declared by the Legislature.
The refusal of election judges to
permit any considerable number of
persons to vote without a polltax
receipt would doubtless be ample
grounds for Republican Congress
TO throw out the vote of any county
and declare the Republican elected.
For each House shall be the Judge
of its own membership.
And so this is an assurance and a
warning.
The battle is won, but it must
not be permitted to go by default
by over confidence. Little Rock
