Some of the good political news
coming from the northwest these
days is to the effect that Mime
sofa, which has been consistently
republican Ill national affairs, has
a leaning this year toward Bryan
and democracy. 1t was not the
intention of Governor Johnson to
have accepted third term as gov
ernor of the State, but at the uy-
gent request of Mr.. Bryan he &C.
cepted the nomination, which
practically means his election to
the place, and it is practically
certain that Mr.. Bryan will run
ahead of the opposition with the
governor.

HEROIC MEASURES ADOPTED.

The colonel of volunteer regi-
meDt camping in Virginia came
across a private on the outskirts
of the camp painfully munching
on something, says Everybody IS.
His face was wry and his lips
seemed to move only with the
greatest effort.
What are you eating?" de-
manded the colonel.
"Persimmons, sir"
Good heavensl" Haven't you
got any more sense than to eat
perslmmons at this time of the
year? They'll pucker the very
stomach out of you!"
. know, sir, That's why I'm
eatin' 'em. I'm tryin' to shrink
me stomach to fit ME rations."

THE DIFFERENCE.

"Why discuss the tariff" cry
the Republican campaigners ;
"both parties are pledged to re-
vision" Sure. But" explains
the Philadelphia Record, lone
party wants to cheaper the cost Of
living. The other party would re-
wise it 80 that the trusts could fix
for themselves "a reasonable pro-
fit" One party wishes to revise
the tariff by reducing rates to a
revenue basis. The other party
would maintain prohibitory rates
under the stand-pat plea of pro
lection to already oyerfed and
engorged Industries. "

W1ile ocean steamships, auto
mobiles and horses are breaking
records, railroad engines are doing
something in the same way them
selves. The other day the Penn
sylvania Railroad sent special
train over 100 miles of roadway in
sixty minutes, and nine miles of
the distance were covered IN four
minutes, or better than a rate of
two miles a minute. Steam is
making a desperate effort to pre-
vent itself from being displaced
by electricity.

Hotel keepers in St. Paul,
Mimi, have found a way of pro-
tecting themselves against disa-
greeable race affiliations. They
buy immunity from annoyance by
negro would-be guests. The hotel
keepers association the other day
paid for the use of all auditorium
for the negro Elks in considera.
ton Of which the negroes were not
to apply for lodging in their
houses. That was much cheaper
and simpler than having to refuse
TO accommodate the negroes and

If Congress were to attempt to
pass laws regulating the operation
of automobiles in this country
there would be raised a howl from
one end of the country to the other
The states, and the states alone,
have the right to regulate traffic
wholly within their borders. But
it is different in England, The
House of Commons has been con-
slderlag a national automobile
bill, regulating the speed of the
vehicles throughout the kingdom.
A proposition that received good
deal of attention was that for the
removing of all speed restrictions
and making every auto driver res
ponsible for any damages that
might result from his driving.

 At the beginning of school last year Prof. Wood came to Spring dale almost a total stranger and took charge of the grammar school. He gave such excellent satisfaction that at the close of school the board employed him for another year, and about two months ago he moved his family here to make their home. Prof. Wood was not what might be termed a highly educated man, but he met with splendid success Tn his school work and was popu- lar both with the students and the patrons of the school. The people of Springdale had learned to love Prof. Wood during his residence here, and his death is a distinct loss to the community and especially to the school.
 We understand that Mrs. Wood and children will continue to make Springdale their home, and that her son will move down from Rogers soon to reside with them. The family requests The News to extend their thanks to the people of Springdale for their many acts of kindness in their bereavement.

A number have suggested to us that the 100 extra votes each week be given to the one making the greatest gain for that week instead of to the one having the largest total vote. AS such a change cannot be construed as being in the interest of any special candidate, and will be equally fair for all, we have de- cided to make that change, be- ginning with next weeks count. So please remember that the 100 extra votes i'll the future will go to the candidate showing the greatest weekly gain, regardless of their standing in the contest.
 The probabilities are that we will add a second and third prize, which will go 10 the candidates receiving the second and third largest vote. We have not def initely decided on the matter yet, but if additional prizes are offer ed We can assure the contestants that they will be worth striving for.
 In response 10 number of in- quiries We wish to say that votes are not allowed on 90 cent sub- scriptions, so If you wish to vote 1t will be necessary for you to pay at least one dollar.

ITS 5 CENTS
 A MILE NOW.
Arkansas Railroads Go Back to the Old Rate, and If You Don't
 Like It Walkin' is Good.

It's } cents mile m Arkansas now, and If that don't suit you you can stay at home or walk. Take your choice.
 Beginning last Monday the principal railroads of Arkansas put the old rate of , cents per mile back into effect. This only applies to points inside the state, and If you buy q ticket in Arkan- sas to some point in Missouri or Oklahoma, these states having 2-cent fare laws, the rate will be two cents for the entire distance. This is due to the fact that the interstate commerce law prohib- its any change of rates without first giving thirty days notice, and 1t IS said that as soon as the new rates can be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission three cents per mile will be charged to the borders of the state on all tickets for interstate travel.
 The 2-cent fare law was enact ed by the legislature in 1907, and has been in force for eighteen months. In the l.. $. Court at St. Paul, Minn., few weeks ago the railroads were granted a temporary injunction restraining the Railroad Commission from enforcing the 2-cent rate, and pending the final settlement of the case the railroads have re- turned to the olG rate. Freight rates were also increased, and ef- forts were made to have the Rail- road Commission and the rail- roads compromise, but the form CT refused to grant any conces- sIons and proposes to fight the matter out to finish.
 Attached to each ticket sold by the Frisco for intrastate travel is a ticket claim coupon which the purchaser retains, and If the in- junction granted by the court is dissolved the holder can present the same to the railroad company and secure q refund of the differ ence between fare paid and the fare on basis of two cents per mile. In other words these cou- pons are good for one cent per mile If the court knocks out the injunction. No round trip tick cts are sold, and agents are re- quired to write the name of the purchaser on each ticket. The editor of The News has accumul- ated two of these coupons which he has filed away as souvenirs with some mileage books, which were so plentiful in the good old days"
 In circular letter referring to the matter, General Passenger Agent Hilton of the Frisco among other things says:
 With the restoration of the three cent passenger rate in the state of Arkansas, which becomes effective October 19, we will adopt much more liberal policy toward the public generally, i'll the way of excursions, mileage arrangements, convention rates, etc.; Ill fact return to the condi- tions which existed before the placing in effect of two cent pas senger fare, where 1t made 1t im- possible for us to be as liberal as we would like"

DEATH OF PROF
 5. ). WOOD.
Passed Away Sunday Morning After a Weeks Illness of
 Pneumonia.

The death of Prof. s. D. Wood, principal of the Springdale gram mar school, which occurred Sun day about II a. m., came as a great shock to the people of Springdale. Although 1t was known he was Ill with pneumon- ia, but few people realized the seriousness of the attack. On Sunday, just week before lis death, Prof. Wood returned from d trip up to bis old home at Pea Ridge and took to his bed and never left 1t again.
 The remains were taken to his old home on the early train Mon- day for burial. The students of both the grammar and high schools, together with the mem- bers of the local Masonic lodge, assembled at the residence and escorted the remains to the sta tion.

Gillett, president and sec retary respectively of the school board, W. J. Peterson, principal of the high school, and Misses Walker and Carter, teachers Tn the grammar school, accompanied the funeral party to Pea Ridge.

Funeral services were held Tn Butram Chapel on Pea Ridge, conducted by Revs. Hack Ter and Rice, and the remains were inferred in the cemetery near by. The funeral Is said to have been one of the most largely attended ever held in that section, which in itself, bears testimony to the high esteem in which de- ceased was held by the people among whom he had lived so long.
 $. D. Wood was born in Ten nessee Aug. 5. 1854, and wien five years of age came with his parents to Arkansas, locating on Pea Ridge in Benton County. His father, Joe Wood, taught school for a number of years in Benton County, and was teaching on Pea Ridge when the battle occurred there during the Civil War. The de- ceased first attended school at Butram Chapel, and later on graduated from Pea Ridge Col lege. For the past thirty-fve years he has been teaching con- stantly, except for one year when he was out of the school room on account of illness. For time he was in charge of Pea Ridge Col lege, was principal of the public school at Rogers in 1898, and had taught at Goshen, in this county. In -- he was united in mar riage to Miss Matt1e Lemon at Jolly, Mo. To them were born seven children, five sons and two daughters, three of the children, two sons and d daughter, dying in infancy.

TO HUDSON BAY BY RAIL
Surveying Party Starts This Week to
Locate a Line.

Winnipeg. Man.. Aug. 1.-THE first
steps towards the actual realization of
the long mooted schemes of a railway
to Hudson bay will be taken this week
when a survey party of one hundred
men starts from Winnipeg to locate
the route Of the proposed railway.
Parliament will receive the report of
the surveyors early in January next
and the work of construction may be-
gin next year.
The survey party will be divided
into four squads. They will survey
alternate routes via Churchill and via
Nelson river. One party will go
straight through to Port Churchill
and work eastward to the present ter
minal of the Canadian Northern at
Saskatchewan river. Another party
will follow the Nelson river valley to
Fort. Nelson. The ultimate choice of
the route will depend upon the
character Of the reports brought back
as to the relative cost of construc-
ton.
