hast no hypocrites in thy temple,
no false hearts at thy affairs;
kings and courtiers bow before
thee and all nations adore thee;
thou art loved by civilized and
savage alike with unfaltering
affections; we continue to regard
thee as the handmade to religion
and the twin sister of charity.
O, Almighty Dollar, be with us,
we beseech thee, attended by an
inexpressible number Of thy min
istering angels made in thine
own image, even though they be
but silver dimes and quarters,
whose gladdening light shall IL
illuminate the value of perjury and
want with heavenly radiance,
which shall cause the awakening
soul to break forth in acclama-
tons of joy. Almighty Dollar,
thou art the guide of our foot
steps and the goal of our being.
Guided by their silvery light, we
hope to reach the pearly gate
and triumphantly enter golden
streets.
Let US join in singing the fol-
lowing:
Almighty dollar, thy shining
face;
Bespeaks thy wondrous power;
In my pockets make thy resting
place,
Ineed thee every hour!
And now, Almighty dollar. in
closing this invocation, we realize
and acknowledge that thou vast
the god of our forefathers, the
two fold god Of their grandchil-
dren. Permit us to possess thee
in abundance and all thy varied
excellence is our constant and
unWavering prayer.

OVERFLOW LANDS
AND LITIGATION
Suits Filed in Federal Court
to Quiet the
Titles.

Little Rock, June %. -Arkan-
sas, with it's millions of acres of
swamp lands, and thousands Of
acres of land in islands of the
Mississippi river, affords more
room for litigation ever the
ownership of the land than any
other state in the Union. So ex-
tensive is this field of litigation
that a number of attorneys
throughout the State make it
their speciality. Charles T. Cole
man, Of Coleman. Murphy &
Lewis, of Little Rock, is prob
ably the leading attorney in this
class, he having in the courts Of
this and other states at the pres
ent time, suits involving the
ownership of over million acres
of land. He has just returned
from Hot Springs, where he has
been gathering the evidence in
one of the most interesting of
his cases, and within a short
time will leave for Helena, where
/ it comes up for trial in the Fed
eral court. This suit involves
+ the ownership of Flower island.
an island in the Mississippi river
a short distance above Memphis.
1t consists of d very large body
Of very fine land, which MAKES
Tennessee look upon it with as
longing eyes as the state Of Ark
ansas. The ownership has been
contested in the Arkansas courts,
and the Supreme court has de-
cided the island is a possession
of Arkansas. The same proceed
ure has taken place in Tennessee,
with the decision that the island
is the property of that state.
The suit was then filed in the
Federal court in Memphis, where
again it was decid e d
the island belongs to
Tennessee. Now the case is in
an Arkansas Federal court, with
a new dress, hoping for a favor
able decision on this side of the
river. On account of the eX-
IRENE value of the land, the SUI
preme court of the United States
will have to pass upon the mat
ter finally before the contest ends.

More than any other one thing
for the carrying of the State over
the financial stlingency of the
past six months, the Combs fran
chise tax, passed by the last leg
i, lature is entitled to the credit.
State house officials are calling
this law blessed, for it has saw
ed the State from the depths of
debt, without the RECRUITMENT for
drastic measures. For the past
six months the State has been
facing a deficit in the general
fund. and backward and for
ward the tide would flow there
being sometimes sufficient funds
in the treasury to make things
look rosy, and at other times the
fund would be only few hun
dred dollars. The fund is now
only a few thousand, but thanks
to the Combs Act, there will be
no deficiency. The State annual
ly receives about $50, under
this tax, and Of this $27, 1000 has
already been paid in to the Sec
rotary of State. The balance
must come in before July l or
the charter of the corporation
failing to remit, is forfeited.
Notices to those who have not
yet paid in their tax, are now be-
ing sent out. and the payments
are coming in at the rate of 50,
600 per day, so this will run the
State until the county collectors
make their settlements next
month.

Local Republicans were elated
yesterday over the selection of
John S. Sherman as a running
mate for W. H. Taft. for the
vice presidency. 1t is a well
known fact that the Republicans
of Arkansas have been consider
ably split over recent turns in
several of the counties of the
state, and in many sections the
Loyalty to Taft was not what
was expected of Arkansas. This
contending element has been en-
tirely won over by the selection
of Sherman. as he is we'll known
to Arkansas Republicans, and
they say he is a good fellow.
Another thing to make the Re-
publicans of Arkansas happy,
is the selection of Powell Clayton
as chairman of the Republican
National Committee. The Re-
publicans say Arkansas is going
to get more recognition than
this four years hence, and init
mate that they have large plans
on, but further than this they
are not talking.

the undersigned chairman and

upon every Democratic news
paper in said district its duty to
place the name of Mr.. Wallace
in it's columns as such nominee
and give him and the balance Of
the Democratic ticket, county.
state and national, their active
and loyal support.
With great hopes of success the
Democratic party is uniting and
modelling it's forces, not only for
the election of the Democratic
nominee for President, but a
Democratic majority in the House
of Representatives, and as Nelson
at Trafalgar said to his men,
England expects every man to
do his duty today" so the Dem
ocratic party expects every Dem
ocrat to do his duty in the No
vember election. The Republicans
put a candidate in the field some
time ago and this being a presi-
dental year, the opposition will
wage a vigorous fight all along
the line. Let rs have no dissen-
sions and no divisions but march
under the banner of Democracy
in solid phalanX to victory and
the consciousness of duty we'll

THE WORLDS PRAYER.

The following is taken from
the Elida News, of Elida, New
Mexico:
o! Almighty Dollar, our ac-
knowledged governor, preserver
and benefactor, we desire to ap-
proach thee on this and all occa-
sions with that reverence
which is due of superior
excellence. and the regard which
will be cherished for exalted
greatness. Almighty Dollar,
without thee in the world we
can do nothing, but with thee
we can do all things. When
sickness lays its paralyzing hand
upon us, thou canst provide for
us the tender nurses, the most
skillful physicians. and when the
last struggle of mortality is over
and we are being borne to the
last resting place of the dead,
thou canst provide a band of mu-
sic and a military escort to ac-
company US thither. and last but
not least, erect a magnificent
monument over our grave, with
a living epitaph to perpetuate
our memory. And while here, in
the midst of misfortunes and
temptations of life, we, perhaps,
are accused of crime and brought
before magistrates, thou Almigh-
ty Dollar, canst secure US a feed
lawyer, a bribed Judge, a packed
jury. and we go scot free. Be
with us, we pray thee, in all thy
decimal parts, for thou art the
only one altogether lovely and
the chief among ten thousand.
We feel there is no conditions in
life where thy potent and all
powerful charms are not felt. In
thy absence, how gloomy is the
house hold and how desolate the
hearth stone, but when thou, O,
Almighty Dollar, art with us,
how graceful the beefsteak sings
upon our grid iron, how genial is
the warmth that anthracite coal
or hickory wood diffuses through
out the apartments, and what
exuberance of JOY continues to
swell our bosoml
Thou art the JOY of our youth
and the solace Of our old age;
thou canst adorn the gentleman
and feed the jackass; thou art
the favorite of the philosopher
and the ideal of the longhead.
When an election is to be carried,
o, Almighty Dollar, thou art t e
most potent argument of politi-
clans and demagogues, and the
umpire that decides the contest.
Almighty Dollar, thou art wor-
shipped the world over, thou
