HAS IT BEEN EOUND2

For many years, long before Mena was even dreamed of, it has been known absolutely known-t h
 there was gold in the mountains and valleys of Polk county. It is en- tirely within the bounds of truth to say that hundreds of men have had dreams of golden wealth from this source, and at times it has seemed that such was within grasp but each and all have fallen to the earth
 and the dreamers have seen, as a nightmare, the black holes in Moth CT Earth in the creation of which they had spent their hard-earned savings. A perusal of the files of The Star would bring to light many such blasted hopes.
 But, nevertheless, the gold is here, and the silver and other valuable ores. and even the most skeptical will find it so on little investiga- ton. There are hundreds of places known where at or near the surface of the ground, quartz and other gold-bearing rock can be found that, when assayed, will show from a trace to several dollars to the ton in gold and silver values. But good working propositions have hereto fore not been developed.
 The outlook at Acorn, six miles from Mena. is certainly alluring. There is said to be. at this place. a clear-cut ere vein that can be fol- lowed for nearly three miles. and ore taken from this very near the surface has assayed as high as STA per ton In gold and silver so rich

Teddy" in a New Role.

The announcement of the editor of the Outlook that after his term of office expires Theodore Roosevelt will become associate editor of the publication, was made in state ment that will cause wide discussion not only in this country, but all over the world. In brief, it is to the ef- feet that the purpose of MT. Roose- welt is to assume leadership for an industrial Democracy.
 Bit first let us consider what in- dustrial Democracy means. 1t is so

 Goats live and do we'll on land where other stock will starve-and they are fond of weeds and thistles, the farmers greatest pest.
 Rhubarb plants should be set out at this season. Rich ground is nec- essary for success. Nothing is so good when fruit is scarce in the springtime.
 Every farmer should raise at least enough poultry for home consump- tion. Properly handled the food produced is almost clear gain. And it's always good to eat.

"The Mind of Women. Following

"The Mind of Women" Following is an interesting passage.
 "One of the most important facts standing out in a comparison or the physical traits of men and women ls that man is a more specialized ln- strument for motion, quicker on ms feet. with a longer reach, and htted for bursts of energy. His most lm- mediate, most fascinating and most remunerative interest consequently became the pursuit of game. lhis pursuit stimulated him to the in- yention of devices for killing and capture and the aptitude for lnven- tion was later extended to the lnven- tion of tools and mechanical devices in general and finally developed into a settled habit of scientific interest. Stated in another way, this means that women could not have the varied life and rovlng experiences, the stress and strain which man en- countered, because she could not leave her children; and indeed her less facility of motion is connected with her organic adaptation to the bearing of children. Her activities were therefore limited to the de- velopment of plant life, to weaving and pottery and handling the prod ucts of the chase. Thus so simple matter as relatively unrestrlctei motion on the part of woman deter mined the occupations of each, and these occupations in turn created the characteristic mental life of each. At this point woman was al- ready becoming the mental inferior of man, not on account of inherent psychological defects but through her seclusion and limited experience, just as the European peasant in his seclusion becomes dull in comparl- son with the scientist in his more varied world.
 Early man had no design of being hard toward woman. Then as now he simply gave her interests no particular thought. He had ac- quired the habit of accomplishing things, and he employed animals, slaves and women as he now em- ployes machinery, steam and cleo tricity. This left him only the more stimulating work and the oversight; in other words, the more mental part of the work"

closely related to socialism that it is confused with that term, but as a matter cf fact an industrial Democ- racy and socialism are two different things. In defining what he means by an induscriaI Democracy, Dr. Lyrran Abbott says that it is an industrial system under which the owners will own collectively the industries wherein they gain their livelihood. The present wage sys- tenn, under which capitalists own the means of production and laborers do the work, Dr. Lyman Abbott be- lieves is destined to disappear. In it's place he hopes to see and that is what Theodore Roosevelt is going to advocate an industrial Democ- racy, or an era of joint ownership of mine and mill and railroad; when working men will become capitalists, and those who are carrying on the industries of the country own the instruments and control the organiz- tion by which they are carried on.
 Socialism "contemplates the own ership and control of all industries by the government. It goes fur ther than an industrial Democracy, of course, because it contemplates only the ownership of all things by all of the people, whereas an indus trial Democracy contemplates only the ownership of certain industries by the men engaged in that industry. An industrial Democracy comes nearer approaching a thorough CO., operative system in particular branches than anything else. Under socialism there would be no use for corporations: under an industrial Democracy the corporations would be necessity.
 "A corporation, ' says Dr. Abbott, is modern Democratic contrivance to enable number of small capital ists to combine their money for the purpose of efficient administration and to divide the profits. There are, 1 believe, in round numbers, as many stockholders of the Pennsyl. vania railroad as there are employees. If the employees were the stock holders they would own the road. Such joint ownership and joint con trol of all joint enterprises is the dream of industrial Democracy"
 Mr. Roosevelt has demonstrated no unusual knowledge of economy, and it was not known that he con templated any such propaganda work as the announcement of his connection with the Outlook fore shadows. But MT. Roosevelt is a man of tremendous influence and of untiring energy. Should he throw the whole weight of his personality into a campaign for the abolition of the present wage system, it would be hard to say what would result.
 He is not alone in his ideas about the industrial Democracy. Students all over the world. as Dr. Abbott says, have come to the same concIu- sion. These conclusions have been brought about by the accumulation of such vast fortunes as now exist, but up to the present the people who have undertaken to dispute the justice of the present wage system have been written down as ''cranks" or "dreamers." The addition to the ranks of modern thinkers of such a man as Theodore Roosevelt will do much to induce people to take up the question and to study it intelligently, and in that way only can any question be settled.

A Trouble They Like.

Roosevelt will hunt hippopotami in Africa and Bryan will woo the jolly jaguars in Mexico, leaving Taft alone in Washington to hunt trouble in forming cabinets and revising the tariff. Too much trouble to be President. Arkansas Democrat.
The Mena weekly star., 1908-11-26

President-elect Taft is surprising some of the Joe Canuon standpatters by the avowal of his intention to have a revision of the tariff instead of make believe. And if the real thing is not given the people, the Republican party would deserve de- feat at the first opportunity, and would pr ,bably get it. Taft was elected on Roosevelt policies, not Cannon's.

A trsst stops at nstLing to attain it's ends. Neither does Mir. Roosevelt.
 Frcm whatever angle the matter is viewed. the parallel is eloquent and deadly Standard Oil says to the peo- pie, You shall have DO oil but my oil" Mir Roosevelt eays, You shall have no candIds.e but my candidate. In the attatnment ,f :ts ends sDc the fulfillment of its purposes Standard oil has left trail of blighted hopes, shattered fortunes ard the gaunt and hungry forms of ambitious eompeti- tors. In the attainment of his ends and the fulfillment of his purposes Theodore Roosevelt has left trail as tragic and as sad. Standard Oil brooks DO opposition: 1t bullies and overwhelms all opposition. Mir. Roose- welt is as impatient when crossed and as competnet otherwise.
 The argument is persuasive. logical and eloquent We Lave a President ial Trust. It is Theodore Roosevelt the combination of autocrat, dictator. censor, preacher, President. politican, monopolist and bully. Is any trust anything more?

Why should the democrats vote for Ralph Cameron, even if 1t be conceded that the republicans will not grant statehood to Arizonag Such an act would be only an exhibition of servil- ity and lack of courage to stand for principle rather than for selfish inter ests: the pregnant bending of the knee that thrift might follow lawn ing. as if were.
 We do not believe the Arizona dem ocrats will fail in duty now when the political atmosphere is charged with democratic victory from New York to California and from Dixie to the Ca nadian line
 For twenty-two years the democrats of Arizona have stood solid for the principles of the'' oarty; have en- dorsed and upheld those who have had the courage to fight the policies ot the republican party: have had the courage to defy republican threats of denial of statehood that it might be known that in Arizona there were men who opposed the tariff and other protecting policies witch have placed the government under the control Of the trusts and monopolies.
 Having remained firm for principle all these years 1t is not to be sup posed that now. when the light of democratic victory is shining bright ly throughout the c, pntry that the democrats will this year lawn at the feet of republicans whose party has been responsible ftr keeping Arizona from it's rightful place in the union as state.
 If the democrats of Arizona desire to share in . the cemocratic victory which is now assmed in the nation, they must remain firm in the faith as they have done in the past and stand by their standard bearers-from Mark Smith to the lowest man on the democratic ticket

sIsBEE's MISFORTUNE.

Douglas International-Ameris
 The people of Douglas are shocked and grieved because Of the misfortune which overlook good old mother Bis bee yesterday evening, when large portion of that city was destroyed by fire.
 Bisbee has been tried severely by both flood and fire during the present years; only a little more than a year ago the city lost heavily by a fire. during the summer it suffered severe losses from three separate flood visi- tations and now the greatest fire in the history of the eity has consumed property valued at hundreds of thou. sand dollars
 The people of Bisbee have the sin. cere sympathy of tbc people of Doug las in their misfortune, as they will na 5e the sympathy of the people ot the, entire county
 isnt. the people of Bisbee, while ap preciating the good will of Douglas and the balance of the county, may be expected to give Gttle time or heed 10 such matters in the immediate flu ture. They are energetic, courageous and progressive. They will go t' work with the same faith in the future of that city which has characterized their acts after former yisitations O misfortune.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TRUST.

To the 2S7 trusts discovered &.5. catalogued by Josephus Daniels, plus one organized last week, candor com pels the addition o' the two hundred and eighty-ninth, promoted. organized, instituted and established by Theo- dore Rooseyelt--namely, the Presi- dential Trust.
 It has been perfected only recent ly and has been developed so.iliusive- ly and insidiousiy thal. its..presence is only now coming te be felt It is not chartered. It knows no protection from Jersey laws. In it's compliance with legal definitions it is lame and halt It embodies no agreement or combination of persons or capital, but in it's intent and power to monopolize, to restrain freedom. to interfere with the exercise of rights and liberties. and to influence free action by i'm pairing or stifing competition. it shows all the earrnarks of the dread organization of monopoly, says the St. Louis Republic.
 Tendency to monopolize is the pri- nal impulse of any trust. Mr. Roose- welt would make the presidency a mo nopoly. A trust always dictates. So does Mir. Roosevelt. A trust seeks to restrict the popular choice and to co1l- trol it. So does MI. Roosevelt. A trust aims to freeze out all others. So does MT. Roosevelt A trust says to the consumers of a commodity, Deal with me; can satisfy you MT. Roosevelt says to the consumers of the Presidency. Leave it to me; I'll fix the Presidency for you"

WOULD ARIZONA SHARE
 IN DEMOCRATIC VICTORY?

Every day the election news rum the east becomes more and more en- couraging for democrats. Even the most hidebound of the stand-pat re- publican press are sounding the alarm and urging the republican managers to strain ever power at their com mand from now until the last ballot has been dropped into the box on No vember 3. The Independent metro politan newspapers are figuring the contest between Taft and Bryan as in doubt and have been doing so during the last two weeks. The great state of New York is conceded to be in the balance with the cause of Bry- an gaining. should New York state fall in the Bryan column the Nebras- kan would be elected,
 Not only is there hope for the cleo tion of the democratic candidate for president, but there is a strong and well founded belief that this happy result will be recorded next month Not only do the indications point plainly to the election of Bryan, but they point as well tn the election of a democratic majority in congress. It is conceded by republicans that Bry- >an has gained much strength as a result of his vigorous and determined campaign for the great reform prin- cipies embodied in the national dem ocratic platform.
 The people of Arizona, because oI the refusal of the, republican party to admit the territory as state, not wit1lstanding they promised to do so eight years ago. are not permitted to vote for Bryan as they so much de. sire to do, but they have the oppor- tunity to vote for the principles for which Bryan is conlending in the sup port of the democratic candidate for congress and for the democratic can didates in Cochise co,nty. Aside from the fact that he has served our people faithfully in congress for nearly twen ty years and the fac. of his splendid equipment for guarding every interest of the territory and the new state. q vote for Mark Smith in November is a vote against the policies of the re publican party and one upholding tho reforms guaranteed by a return of thc government to the control os the peo pie, as demanded by the democratic party
 Principle should bc held above any mans personal ambition; it should DC held dearer than the success of any man for office. and the republicans oi Arizona insult the intelligence and manhood of the citizens Of this ter ritory when they % around from city to city and from town to town beggine the democrats to forsake their pont icaI principles and candidate for the purpose of voting s,- Ralph Cameron

The fire was bad enough, but it might have been a great deal worse The tribute laid on many of ous citi- zens br the fire demon was severe, but those who escaped stand ready with open pocketbooks and willing hands to help the needy.

DANCE PROCEEDS
 FOR FIRE RELIEF
Copper Queen Band F yent To- morrow Evening VIII B
 For Worthy Cause

The regular Saturday night dance given by the members of the Copper Queen band will occur this week as usual. The entire proceeds, however, will be donated to the fire relief fund.
 The dances have become very pop ular and are always well attended, the boys having always provided excellent music and proved themselves hosts beyond reproach, and in view of the good cause this week, an unusually big crowd is expected.
