The Little Rock detectives, who were relieved last night from fVther service through the abolishment of this part of the police force, this morning ap- peared in the police court as us- ual to prosecute arrests made by them yesterday. The detectives are preparing a statement, which they say will show the depart ment was not an expense to the city, as claimed by Mayor Duley when he abolished it. Instead, they say it was a good revenu } producer, the department receiv- ing ia rewards each month more than the cost of maintenance was to the city. The new officers also took charge of the force. Chief McMahon, who has been on the Little Rock force for 20 years, the greater portion of which he served as chief, is jul bilent over the appointment of Peter Conrad as captain, reten- ton of Fred Cogswell as ser geant, but promoted to have full charge of the force at night, and the promotion of Patrolmen Car land and Walpole to sergeants. Walpole and Garland are known to most every visitor to Little Rock, Walpole being a day officer at the Iron Mountain station for years, and Garland guarded the corners of Markham and Main streets. Tom Main, who fol years was a station patrolman, but was relieved by the previous change of administration, was thi morning put pack to work or his old beat.

Most of the railroads of Ark ansas have now been gone over by the State Board of Railroad Assessors, with very little change in the assessments on main lines of any railroads. In one instance the assessed value of a railroad has actually been lowered, it be- ing shown that the railroad was a lumber line, with all the timber cut out and was operated last year at a loss of $5, 1000. On the the buildings, the railroads are catching it right lively in in- creased assessments, the increase in Argenta alone being $137, 450. The Iron Mountain has also caught it freely in additional rolling stock, the board raising the assessment $2O0, 900 on loco motives on one branch. The Board has about completed it's labors, and when the totals are all made, it is expected that the assessments will be several mil lion more than they were last year. The board, instead of cut ting down or raising assessments is forcing the railroad to pay on all of its property, which means more money for the state, as so much has been overlooked be- fore. The Board is composed of Governor X. 0. Pindall, Dr. A. E. Moore and o. C. Ludwig.

THOSE TAX ASSESSMENTS.
EDITOR COURIER:

EDITOR COURIER:
was struck with an article in
the CoURIER'S last issue, signed
Taxpayer, in which the ques-
ton was asked if the editor of the
COURIER had the courage to print
the list of the taxpayers of Clarke
county, with the amount OF taxes
they pay. | take it upon myself
to answer this question. The
editor of the paper has the courage.
but he hasn't the pocketbook. l
do not know exactly how many
taxpayers there are in Clarke, but
estimate 1900 or more. Each
ticket would make an average of
five or more lines. There would
be over 10000 lines in all. or about
40 columns Of the COURIER. cost
ing a couple Of hundred dollars to
set up and print. OF course it is
the editors duty to do all he can
for his county, but he is not
exactly expected TO slice off his
patriotism in $500 hunks. 1t is
the Supervisors, my friend, who
haven't got the the courage to have
this list printed and pay for it out
of the county treasury. They have
done it In counties in the Western
states, and the returns were many
fold. The property holders who
did not mind a little perjury in the
presence of merciful God and
the pleasant tax assessor who had
been elected by their votes. did
mind it q great deal when they
found that their lists were to be
published so all their friends and
brother Christians would be able
to read and ponder, and the in
crease in taxable property in those
counties was something amazing.
There is no man in your COM
munity who does more for the
people without even an indirect
benefit than we editor" and there
are generally many of the things
he does that are the sworn duties
OF your county officers. Get after
them, Mr.. Taxpayer, and see how
much courage they have.

IL costs as much To brush. on this use
less stun as lead zinc-and-o ]; but il looks
like that and feels like that in the brush;
the painter doesn't suspect, it, BESIDES,
if the owner is willing, why should the
painter object TO painting two gallons
for one. He is paid by The day; more
gollons, more days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about
one-third this useless stuff; and average
paint at 81 .25 or s 80 or $175 a gallon
is two thirds trash. Fool paint is the
proper name for ali bGi pure paint; it is
made to fool people with. Knaye paint
is another good name: ii Is made, of
course, by knaves. Sick paint is name
for an honest weak paint. They are all

more electoral votes in 1905 than
he did in the year of his last defeat.
IL seems to The Post that the
Democratic party should seek the
men as candidates who can har-
monte and unite it, and the time
has arrived when ambitions and
rivalrieS should be laid aside and
the good of the party be made the
paramount issue at the national
convention.
While Mr.. Bryan could not con-
troll masses of his followers for
Judge Parker, he without doubt
can control them for a candidate
that more nearly represents their
views. He is in position to COM
II and victory to the party standard,
though his own nomination might
spell defeat. With men like Gull
berson, of Texas; Harmon, of Ohio;
Douglas, of Massachusetts; John
son, of Minnesota, or Hearst, of
New York, be would see his prin-
cipleS triumph and his voice would
be more potent for success than it
was in the years 1896, 1900. and
1904.
Any of these men would unite
the party. Any of them would
attract the votes Of hundreds of
thousands of citizens outside of
strictly Democratic ranks, and with
any of these men there should be
no desertion on tie part of those
" no admire and vote for Mr.. Bryan
Under present conditions a united
Democratic party hasa good chance
of winning. Divided either in
sentiment or on candidate, how can

DEMOCRATIC FEARS AND HOPES.

The truest and closest friends of
Mr.. Bryan certainly regret his de-
feats of 1896 and 1900. Neither
they nor Mr.. Bryan can desire a
repetition in 1908 of the results of
his two prior campaigns. Such an
event would be finale to his public
career and disastrous in every way
to his friends and supporters in the
party ranks. Mr.. Bryan support
ed loyalty in 1904 a gentleman who
supported him with equal fidelity
in 1896 and 1900.
Mr.. Bryan opposed Judge
Parkor's nomination, knowing he
diffeirl with him on the platform
of To- party, yet lie advocated hi
elrc ion ca'nestly and heartily.
lie could not control thousands
followers who resented Judge
P-r~er's telegram 10 the conven-
tion as an attempt 30 dictate pol
lev after the part, had declared its
lines ofaction. Mr.. Bryan, in 1904,
could have controlled all of his adj
hercnts if the candidate had been a
man after his own ideas aid repre-
senting his own sentiments.
Mr.. Bryan has suffered two
severe national defeats, yet is
receptive candidate for "a third
nomination, while Judge Parker
has been eliminated as candidate
by one great overthrow. The
party desires a candidate who can
vim.
Bryan was stronger in electoral
otes in 1896 than he proved to be
1900, aad there is nothing in
'ijcnce that he can command
