 Responses to the call for meet ing of those interested in the inn provement of the Arkansas river to be held here Dec. 5, which were issued Saturday night by w. M. Kavanaugh, president of the Ark ansas River Commission, are al- ready being received in large mum 7 bers from people residing in the towns between Muskogee and the mouth of the river, and it is esti- mated that fully Goo delegates will gather here on that day to prepare for an active campaign for the im- provement of the Arkansas. Com mittees will be appointed, and the the plan of action to be pursued in the annual meeting of the Nation al River and Harbor Congress, which meets in Washington the week after will be decided upon. As the navigation of the streams of Arkansas is now a potent factor in the development of the state, with freight rates at their present altitude. Judge Kavanaugh has named the committees which will prepare for the entertainment of the guests, and work was begun this morning raising the funds for the entertainment of the guests. Citizens of Muskogee and Fort Smith may make the trip down the river to the convention, just to show what an easy matter it is to navigate the Arkansas. It is also expected that the balance of the stock of the SIoo, 900 corporation to be formed to enter the naviga- tion business between the mouth and head of navigation, will be spoken for at this convention.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Nov. 23-At last all of the returns in the congress ional contests in Arkansas are on file in the office of secretary of state, Newton county being receiv- ed yesterday, and winding up the gay in the third, the last district to supply full returns. J. C. Floyd, Democrat, in this district, secured 13,7o6 votes to the S94S ballots cast for w. T. Mills, his Republi- can opponent. Only three count ies of the district, Searcy, Madison and Newton gave majority to the Republican candidate, and the to- tai majority on the three was only 3oo- The last county to report shows vote of 433 for Floyd and 54S for Mills. Mills carried Searcy county by I47, Madison by 3S and Newton by II6. The strange thing about the receipt ot the full returns is that it has stopped the grumb- ling of the Republicans, and with such decisive vistories displayed for each of the Democratic con- gressmen, they no longer talk of contest.
 Business is picking up for the fertilizer department ot the depart ment of agriculture, and tags, which net the state one and one fourth cents apiece, are now going out in numbers, to be attached to the bags of fertilizer to be sold in the state. Fertilizer expert Joseph Moore has not yet been called out t. inspect cars, little of the new supply being yet received, but within the next week or so he will be forced to visit nearly all sections of the state to take look at com mercial fertilizer which is offered for sale.
 "Marse Powell" comes to Little Rock this evening, and there will be meeting of the committee of three, Capt. F. w. Tucker, chair man of the Republican state exec utive com mittee; Col. H. L. Rem mel, United States marshal, and Gen. Powell Clayton, will take place within a short time after the arrival of the head of Republican, ism in Arkansas. Upon this meeting, which will have all the markings of a social session, much depends yet none of the leaders will admit it has any political sig nificanCe. Nevertheless it is sur missed the three leaders will crack a joke or two, and hunk of pie will fall to the lot of hungry pen itioner, while the rind of the lem on will saved out for others.

There is so much open cotton at the farm at the pres ent time that it must be picked out at once. If a rain or windstorm came, much of the wide open bolls

A Worn Out BOgey,
philadelphia Record.)

The Republican leaders, including
Candidate Taft, never committed so
great a tactical blunder as the at
tempt to brighten from their propri-
ETY. 100000 of American people with
miserable predictions oil disaster and
ruin in the election of William Jen-
nings Bryan to the Presidency. Moth
ing is better calculated to provoke
popular resentment and thus defeat
it's end than this appeal to cowardly
fear in behalf of party that has
justly forfeited the country's conf
dence. On all sides, East and West,
North and South, are witnessed the
evidences of the failure of this
wretched maneuver in the enthusi-
astic rallies of the people to support
of the Democratic cause.
Now, when victory is about to
perch upon the Democratic banner,
the insensate partisan hoWlers OF
calamity or the manipulations of the
stock market by Wall street bears can
have no effect upon sober public OPP
inion in it's demand for political
change What has contributed much
to this propitious situation is the
tenacity with which an immense por-
ton of the people has chung to the
Democratic party in the midst of dis
appointment and defeat. Without this
tenacity, springing from an abiding
sense of the justice of the cause, har-
mony could not have been evolved,
from discord, and the coming restor-
alton of Democracy would have been
impossible.
AS for William J. Bryan, with whom
Republican nurses are attempting to
brighten the babes of the party, he
is here in the East no longer Gin the
enemy's country" So far from it, he
is honored even by fair-minded polit-
ical opponents for the courage and
endurance with which he has adhered
to what he deems the cause of the
people Errors which he formerly
committed in the estimation of thous-
ands of good Democrats are buried in
the same grave with the dead issues,
and the whole party is united as new
err before in many years in support OF
the man who has never faltered or de-
SPARED in the darkest hours of DEM
ocracy. Not only is the harmony of
the party assured, but it's cause as
we'll as the sterling personal qualities
of the candidate are attracting to the
Democratic household thousands of
independent Republicans who have
become weary of the fairfield preda-
tory Trusts, of the profligacy and
waste in administration of the inso-
lence of bureaucratic rule in Wash
ington, and of the manifold evils and
abuses that have crept into their gov
eminent under party that has been
too long in power for the nations well
fare.

Turner's Terrible Threat.
ATLANTA Georgian.)

The people of Georgia will no doubt
await with considerable interest the
document promised the public by
Chairman Joe Sid Turner, of the
Georgia prison commission, in his
bitter" card printed in the current
issue of his home town paper, The
Eatonton Messenger. This feyerish
interest on the part of the public will
undoubtedly wax stronger and
stronger as the promise Judge Turner
has made becomes more generously
circulated and more clearly under
stood. In fact, if the Judge Withholds
publication of his promised facts for
any great length of time, it would not
surprise those who are familiar with
his situation to see the public just
jump up in the air and burst with
Impotence.
He declares he is going to expose
the Georgia legislature for censur-
ing him on the mismanagemen which
has marked his administration of
the penitentiary system of Georgia.
Il shall give to the public a full
history of the so-called investigation, -
he says, the dirtiest political perse-
cution to which public officials were

Isn't that a promise pregnant with

the Handy deal by which the COM
mission made a gift of $4,000 of the
states money to a favored lessee; the

dences of Turner's patriotism and
business capacity-not forgetting,
either, the unanimous verdict of the
investigating committee: THE com
mission deserves the severest cen

That the entire legislation adopted
unanimously this verdict as it's very
own brings that body into the danger
zone of the judges threatened ex-
posture, of course, and this fact
it is that lends such a fever of ex-

Maintain As Wen AS Improve Roads
philadelphia Press.)

New Jersey has given the other
states a splendid example of good
roads construction. If Governor Forts
recommendation given yesterday at
Atlantic City is carried out that
state will also set the pace for good
road maintenance. The Governor
points out that to keep improved
roads in good condition is quite as inn
portant as their construction. 1t is a
very expensive matter for small COM
munities to keep the roads used by
all in good condition Governor Fort
thinks, therefore, that the state should
take over the good roads and main
tain them in good condition at the
states expense.
The fundamental error in most of
the good roads legislation is that the
improved road construction was
grated onto the old system, in which
the initiative and control rest with
the local rural communities. These
as rule do not initiate promptly ana
do not maintain efficiency In some
communities the improved roads turn
ed over to the townships are not car
ed for by anybody. They soon be-
come poor roads and the states mon
ey is wasted. Governor Forts pro-
position for the improved roads of
New Jersey is good for any State.
When the State puts it's money into
a highway it should look after it as
an investment and see that it does
not depreciate.
The road law of Pennsylvania allows
the State to step in and maintain an
improved road if the township in
which it is located neglects it. This
does not go far enough. The State
Highway Department should be charg
ed with the duty of maintaining the
improved roads in the first instance.
The present State aid law does well
enough for local road building, but
a new road law is needed to author
ize the requirement by the State of
the toll roads and their development
at State expense as improved State
free highways.
Other State roads should be built
wholly at State expense, and the
maintenance of these improved roads
should be the duty and charge of the
State. When he have this legisla-
ton We Will enter upon an era of
improved roads in Pennsylvania that
shall be free of toll gates and main
tanned by the State in first-cIass con-
dition.
