PUBLIC SPEAKING.
Hon. James H. HarrOd Addressed q Large and Appreciatiye Audience
 at the Court House Monday.

Notwithstanding he fact that Hon. George W. Donaghey, candidate Tor governor, was unable to fulfill his en- gagement here Monday. quite . crowd gathered at the court house to hear Hon. Jas. H. Harrod. who ap- peard in Mr. Donaghey's behalf There is an old saving that there Is nothing just a. good, but in this case, the substitute came mighty near filling the bill.
 MT. Harrod was introduced by Chairman Mcdonald Want of space forbids us printing more than brief synopsis of the speech.
 After apologiziHg for the absence of MT Donaghey. He said he did not intend to make political speech. but briefly to present few proposi- tions connected with Mr DonagheF's candidacy for governor.
 RAILROADS
 The sum and substance of Mr. Donaghey's position in regard to the railroads Is this: That the railroads owe duty 10 the people 70 give the very best service possible and to bear their fair share of the burden of taxa ton. In my humble judgment that is as comprehensive treatment of the question as could be offered any where.
 STATE tENfTENTIAKY.
 The people demand reform in the of the state penitentia- ". For years this matter has been q source of constant friction in the state government, involving the diff feTent branches of the Executive De- partment in turmoil and confusion. Donaghey proposes to abolish the lease system altogether, and we know it ought 10 be abolished. He pro- poses to do all he can 10 put an end to convict labor competing with free labor His proposition to work all the eonYicts on the public roads ex- eept enough 10 work on the farm and raise supplies to feed the remainder. is certainly most sensible and prac- tical solution of the question.
 THE STATE CAPITOL
 What we want is to have the capi- tol completed as soon as possible. It has been a football in politics long enough. Now, Donaghey says that if he is elected governor and the leg islature will follow his recommenda- tions the capitol can be completed in twelve months time after he goes into office.

 MT.

In asking support for Mr Donaghey, his friends do not desire to make themselves offensive to the friends of the other candidates by saying that he is better man than Prof. Hinemon or MT. Kirby. We do not claim that Donaghey alone is worthy, that ali others are unworthy. The point We make is that under the that surround us, the elec- ton of NIT.

Ills HOME LIFE

In concluding these brief remarks, my fellow citizens, 1 feel that I could not in justice to myself. take my seal without telling you some Of the things If Donaghey that I personally know. l have known him intimately for twenty-five years. When I first knew him he had nothing on earth, but a few carpenters tools. l have seen him at every stage of his career. 1 have seen his indomitable energy and industry triumph over every op- position and raise him from obscurity to his present position. know what l am talking about when I tell you that 1 have seen him take leading and prominent part in every move ment that has made his home town known throughout Arkansas for it's refined people and ChriStion cigiliza- tion.
 This is the man whose claims ad. vocate, and whose triumphant cleo ton you will witness on the 25th of March.

Said he had introduced lots of bills but they die abornin' in the com. mittee room He said if Macon had

party than the election of any other candidate. Our reason for saying that is this. NIT. Donaghey is not a politician He has never been identi- fed with or allied with any faction of the democratic party. The people of Arkansas are tired of personal politics and political factions, feuds and yendettas that have ragged in this state for years. The people long for rest, for return 10 old condi- Jions. The people of Arkansas want to see peace and harmony and good feeling take the place of the discord and bitterness that have 50 long ex- isted. We believe that the nomina- ton of Mir Donaghey would bring this about. and if there were no other reason for his nomination this ought to be sufficient. MT. Donaghey prom ises that. if he is elected. he will be the governor Of all the people and l believe that he means what he says.
 What the people of Arkansas want is broad-guaged. progressive business man who has integrity of purpose and the courage of his convictions. They want him broad gauged so that pea nut politics will not be played in the governors office. They want him pro- gressiye. so that the state ; boundless resources may be made known to the world. They want him to have in- tegrity because they know that hon. esty k the first of all qualifications. They want him to have courage of his convictions because they know that demagogy is akin to dishonesty Such a man k Geo. W. Donaghey.

\ BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.


 What Arkansas needs today is q business administration of its state government. Our state possesses re- sources that are unsurpassed in the world Our rich cotton lands, our vast forests of timber, the great coal fields that underlie all our western border, our great mineral wealth and navipable rivers. all unite to offer un- told advantages 10 the owners of wealth anci-capital. We are living in an age of great material progress. The indications are that very soon our great inland waterways will be so improved that the charges for transportation will be greatly lessen ed. Millions of acres of fertile lands will be opened for cultivation and settlement. Ere long the canal across Panama will open d new way for the worlds commerce. What Arkansas needs is 10 get in line at the head 8f the procession and stay there, 50 that her people may reap the advantage of the bright era that is ahead of us Who can do much in this direction as common sense, wide-awake business man who has the ability to under stand the conditions that surround Us and the energy to carry into effect measures that will improve these conditions?

Hens That Should Be Busy.

If that momentous question, the cost
of keeping a hen, had been settled,
there would be no trouble In getting at
the Importance of the hen bulletin re-
Gently issued from Washington. The
bulletin says that there are 233, sos, ,0O5
hens Of '1aying age" in the United
States. AS the hen is an Constable
critter" in her ways, maybe the odd
Ave have died or struck for more ra-
tions since the bulletin went to press.
Again 1t may be that 995 youngsters
have started work ahead Of time and
the figures should look thousand bet
ter.
The laying hens are valued at $70,-
100000. That's an investment in eggs,
the annual crop of which seems to be
worth about $2oo0oo,oOo as eggs
have been selling. If the cost Of the
keep is reasonable we should include
the hen among the national resources

ing after by the presidents commits
