FROM THE

Little Rock, Nov. A week from next Saturday attorneys in terSsted in the suit of O. C. Lud- wig, secretary of state, against Revs. las. A. Anderson, A. C. Millar and D. J. Weems, of the Western Methodist, i'll which he sues them for $50, GOO for islander, will argue a demurrer in the case, the defense asking that the suit be dismissed because the proper plaintiff is not given, and also that the articles referred to are not libel ous. The attorneys for the de- tense assert the articles objected to censured the entire state board of election commissioners, charging them with playing into the hands of the liquor element of the state and if anyone has been libeled 1t is the entire board, and not one in dividual member. The defense also claims the articles appearing in the Western Methodist ridicul- ing the state board of election con- missioners are not libelous.

Little Rock was almost like a grave yard last night during the receipt of the election returns. There was an occasional flash of good news which would be met with enthusiasm by the Democrat ic crowds. On the other hand the Republicans had very good time, especially the negroes, who met at the 1yric, a moving picture show on West Ninth street, where they listened to the returns and kept up noise sufficient to keep the people who had no cause for jubiiant and vociferous expressions from sleep ing,

Literary Light on Politics.

The literary men of the country-at
least some Of them-are drifting to-
ward politics.
1t is announced that George AIDE is
to run for Congress from Indiana. If
George can land it is to be hoped he
will be able to enliven the proceedings
Of that august body somewhat. For
our part we would rather see George
IN the Senate. Oh, my!
Opie Read, in Chicago, is nursing as
pirations of Office and dreams of be
coming sheriff If Opie was hard
cutfed to a thug he would have TO
crack so many jokes that the victim
of the law would suffer more than
from any legal penalties he might sub
secHently have TO face.
Augustus Thomas is understood to
be with many blushesI a receptive can
didate for governor of New York. He
could hold rehearsals in the capitol in
Albany and would, no doubt, find more
material for thrilling "mellerdram-
H'eTs IN the weird dolngs of the New
York Legislature than in twenty sum
Insrs on the East Side.

Robert Barr Is soon to be knighted in
London, and in his secret soul no doubt
has his eyes already on the seat occu-
pied by the English Winston Churchill.
VIII we lose our literature if this
keeps up? Never in the world But
we may well enough lose any respect
we have left for politics.

far the Preponderance Of opinion leans
toward the night; but it may be that
those who have gone up by moonlight
and sailed along mile after mile be-
tween the clouds and the stars are
naturally more poetic or eloquent.
Some Of these accounts Of the all-night
sail Mr.. Glidden and Prof Clayton took
this week in the Aero Clubs ship Dos
ton" read like prose poems. Certainly
on a moonlight night at this tire of
the year, when the air Is genial and
the country is still wearing its green
robes, to float swiftly over hill and
dale, to see the earth asleep and then
to see it wake up with the dawn, must
be one of the rare sensations of "a life
time. No wonder the Aero Clubs pas
senger list Is growing fast.
1t appears, too, that the world at
large has none too clear an idea of
the eloseness of the great aeronautie
period. Here is a sample case clipped
from the story of the fascinating sail
of the Boston" Wednesday night:
AS the night merged into morning
and dawn broke, the airship was let
down close to the ground and MI.
Glidden, who possesses voice Of
great carrying power, would shout
when passing over town
What place is this2"
Not a soul could be seen, but the
occupants Of the car thought the
shout for information might bring
from a barn some farmer or chore
boy up for early milking. None such
appeared, but in one village near
Worcester man driving along a
lonesome road pulled up and looked
in all directions excepting heaven
ward. Mr. Glidden repeated his shout,
but the lone driver couldn't mark il
down, and giddaped his nag along on
his way.
Having got used to the automobile,
we must now adjust our courtesy and
curiosity to the airship.
