REHEARING DECIDED ON.

The credentials committee met Immediately
after the adjournment of the Republican Ma
tional Convention. and after electing Senator
Fulton chairman and A. R. Smith secretary
chose the following subcommittee on rules and
procedure:
]. Sloat Fassett Of New York, chairman;
Harry A. Daugherty, Of Ohio; Samuel Riniker,
Of Nebraska: Samuel J. Elder, of Massachusetts,
and ". S. Fitzpatrick. of Kansas.
The anti-Taft men scored what seemed to be
a considerable victory in the subcommittee by
a decision to give rehearing in all of the con-
tests tentatively decided by the national COM
nttee BY a vote of three TO two the sub-Com-
mittee decided to take up each case. The Taft
men in the sub -committee-Harry Daugherty
and Samuel Elder-favored taking the decisions
Of the national committee and making them
their own thus greatly shortening the work of
the credentials committee, but Messrs. Fassett,
Fitzpatrick and Rniker decided to give a brief
hearing to every contest.
While the allies assert that they won a
victory in the subcommittee. the Taft men say
that the vote merely means that the credentials
committee is going to be perfectly fair in han
ding the contests.

Washington, D. C., Sept 2S.-The New York Herald, which possesses a skill and accuracy seldom equalled in feeling the political pulse, is as tonished at the result of it's recent investigation. About the first of Sep tember they estimated that Mr. Taft had 206 sure electoral votes and that AIr. Bryan only had 16l sure votes of the 242 necessary to elect. In a re-

THE NS.MISSISSIPPI CON-
 GRESS.

Inland waterways will be con- spicious part of the program at the 18th annual session of the Trans Mis- sissippi Commercial Congress which meets in the city of San Francisco, Oct 6 to 10. The Pacific coast, and the Pacific northwest states, with the intermountain states and those upon the tributary streams emptying into the Mississippi river in common, have much interest in a system of canal ization which will be the topic of dis cussion providing for deep water con- meeting the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean by the way of the St. Lawrence river, the Great Lakes, Sault Ste, Marie, and the Snake and Columbia rivers. This canal is possible with hundred miles of digging, as the com- merce of the Atlantic is already at the threshold of northern Minnesota. The Inland Waterway Commission will be called upon to provide some prelimin- ary surveys that will establish beyond question the possibility of the Snake river connection. Delegates from Mis- souri, Arkansas and Louisiana will be at the congress in the interest of If feet of water from New Orleans to Chicago by way of the Sanitary canal. This proposition is almost within reach, receiving the approval as it does of President Roosevelt and the legislative branches of the govern ment.
 The Gulf to Cairo, the connection between that point and the Sanitary canal. is an easy problem, and this new canal connecting the lakes with the Pacific ocean, has an equally inn portant bearing upon the internal de- Velopement of the western states.
 The Pacific coast states have num- erous waterways for which aid will be asked and the interest in this ques- ton will affect equally all sections of the Mississippi country
 Fer this occasion the railroads have made a reduced rate from all points in the west and the commercial bodies are sending delegates to the meeting.

THE COMING IDEA FOR CITIES

Germany has long been d leader ill showing the world how to do things. The national genius for efficiency. de- Veloped to the highest pitch by stern conditions of national existence. has erected upon d territorial base which is much smaller than Texas, compara- tiveiy poor in natural resources and surrounded on every side by potential enemies one of the three great pow
 ers of the earth. Since German unity was finally hammered out in 1870 the onward rush has been terri fc In the application of science to the problem of modern industry Germany has taken d unique position while likewise constituting itself in
 in such widely diverse subjects as pure science. governmental admins tYation. the art of war. philosophy and music. This young nation made cf old fragments has had a mighty youth. Though population has in
 creased apace, the stream ef emi- grants has been continually drying up. for desirable tasks became avail ahle for all at home. A recent writer in The Atlantic Monthly showed that Berlin has grown more rapidly than Chicago. and many other German cities arrespondingly. German goods multiply in every market displace whose they may. And of all the mar vels presented for study and emula- ton German municipal government is not the least. We find it's spirit-the spirit Of efficiency to which modern Germany stands mcnument-embo- died in the Galveston commission plan without the least sacrifice Of anything distiactively American City after city is adopting this idea Of
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-09-29

The foregoing is the simple but sig nifcant epitaph on the monument re gently erected to AIit'shipman James Grouse in Arlington cemetery, Wash. ingtOn.
 It tells in q graphic way the story of the noble sacrifice of lad of the American navy only little over nine teen years of age
 The boy died from injuries received in an explosion in the turrct of the bat tleship Georgia while at target practice on Cape Cod bay:
 If you will go to the files of the newspapers you will find these particu- lars:
 The gallant Grouse was at one of the guns in the turret. His classmate and chum. Midshipman Goldthwaite, served injuries inside of two hours Grouse was frightfully wounded. besides be. ing badly burned. He got out of the turret Hearing cries for help, he pain fully retraced his steps. He took hold and helped to care for the injured sea men. While doing so some one called attention to his own deplora ble condi tion It was then he uttered the words chiseled on his monument:
 "Never mind mo. I'm all right. Look after the other fellows.'
 He was aftorWard taken to the hos pital. where hc died nnfiinchingly.
 And that is al
 th1f iS all fho pnN-SnonorS tell about Grouse and what he did and said.
 But that is not all That is worth say ing. Because
 An act of heroic self abnegation like this one seems greater than any ser- mon. granqer than any poem, finer than any lofty strain of music. more than any great work of art.
 TT IS DIVINITY REVEALING IF SELF IN HUMAN F'LESH-a m" ment of incarnation, the highest cS pression known to humans.
 One thinks of the dying Sidney and how he pushed the cup of water from his own parched lips when he said :: "Givc it to him His need is grcatc! than mine.
 The stripling Grouse was kin of soal to Sidney and to all tile heroic souls of history
 And yet
 After you have said all this-Hud justly tlte only concept of the char;,c ter of James Thomas Grouse. midship- man, is to be found in the simple act and the sentiment It is all there on the uOllllncit

STRENUOUS POLITICS.

The past week has been one cf strenuous politics and many interest ing political events that will leave their mark upon the dial of time and may seriously affect the result of the present presidential campaign, have occurred.
 Senator F'oraker has been kicked out of the Republican camp, and has already begun to fire back at his po- 1;tical enemies Interesting develop ments may be expected.
 Governor Haskell of Oklahoma has been forced to resign as treasurer of the National Democratic committee and has been entirely eliminated from the campaign.
 Candidate Taft has made all attack on Candidate Bryan and Candidate Bryan has made an attack oa Gandi- date Taft and President Roosevelt The President will no doubt reply in lurid language.
 Wm. R. Hearst, the leader of the Independence party. has taken few promiseuaus shots, his heaviest broad sides being at Haskell and the Demo- crats. He landed on Foraker and Haskell both last week. which was the beginning that resulted in SO much s+renuousity.
 Gompers has taken shot at the national association of manufacturers and in his charges he involves Candi- date Taft.
 Out in Nebraska a MT. Sheldon, who is a candidate for the Republican nom ination for governor, says that if the party ignores the guarantee of bank deposits he will bolt
 Over ill "Hoosier" Gov. IIanly has  precipitated a hot fight in the midst of national campaign by calling a srecial session of the legislature to pass a strirgent local option meas ure. The bill passed the Legislature Saturday night and was signed by the Governor. This will put Indiana n the doubtful column, as there are a large number of Germans in Indiana who are opposed to prohibition.
 Altogether, what promised to be an unusually dull and listless campaign has become most intense and interest ing, and the end is not yet.

pAWES ON THE BANK GUARANTY.

Charles G. Dawes was controller of the currency under President Mckjn- ley and is now president of the Gen. tral Trust Company of Chicago. He is well known as a student of bank ing questions and the fact is brought out that in a book on the banking sys tenn of the United States, published some years ago, he wrote of govern nent OF joint guaranty of bank de- posts as follows:
 eff the effect of such a law would bc to render bank deposits more sta ble under all conditions, as ill our judgment would be the case, no law could be of more value and import ance to the debtor, or to the creditor, CT to the community at large. Be- sides the great importance of the liW, dS feldleu to Iile SeHeldl plos- Eerity of the country, it is meritorious as preventing the keen suffering in those localities where bank failures occur, and where the hard-earned savings of the community, under our present laws, are often swept entirely away. By such law, losses are dis tributed as by insurance, the benefic- ial effects of which need no argument. To the passage of such law in pro- per form, we trust the efforts of Con- gross will be directed'

Of course young Goelet has been named by the Rhode Island Republicans as a candidate for presi- dential elector The trusts are for the president and the party is glad enough to bestow it's honors upon the scions of the millionaire families; it needs campaign funds, and it does not limit 10 $10.00o the amount it will accept from one person.

REPl BELGIAN VALUE OF MONEY.

The most satisfactory ar9u- ment of Republican organs and ora tors with which they back up their assertion that Bryan cannot get votes enough to elect him is based on the allegation that he cannot raise the necessary money. They do not ap- pear to care for the implication of cash control that follows this line of controversy.
