CAUSE OF FIGHT
AT HEADQUARTERS
Chief Stewart Says His Neracity Was
Questioned and He Merely Slapped
Roman B. Riec-latter'S Boy Not
Arrested

Chief of Police A. J. Stewart says
the personal difficulty he had at police
headquarters Wednesday with Roman
b. Rice was not the result of the ar
rest OF Rice's son for playing ball in
the streets. with other boys Who We're
arrested by the police Tuesday. He
says Rice passed the lie to him. when
he told others in Rice's presence that
he CRice) and his wife had made COM
plant 10 the police about the boys
playing ball and breaking windows,
etc, and that he struck him in the
face when he did so. Chief Stewart
says he merely slapped Rice in the
face and the mix up was ended when
Mayor Toney stepped between them
and stopped the fight. According to
Chief Stewart, Rice made the COM
plant against the boys and asked that
they be arrested, going so far as TO
name the officer who should make the
arrest. When the arrest was made. it
is said. parents OF the boys investi-
gated the affair and learned that Rice
had made the complaint At least the
police are said to have told them OF
Rice filing complaint at police head
quarters When they accused Rice OF
being the eause of their boys arrest
he is said 10 have denied it and he was
taken before Chief Stewart TO back
up his statement" Chief Stewart re-
iterated what he had given out on the
subject and Rice called him liar
Chief Stewart slapped him in the face
and the fight resulted.

ANIMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

\ conference of national Importance
will be held in Washington next week
when forty-four governors of states
and territories will participate in the
White House convention. called by
President Roosevelt to discuss ways
and means for conserving the national
resources of our country. Acting Gov
ernOr Pindall has made appointments,
and will also attend in person. Wheth-
er the urgency is as great as the spe-
cialists in the various departments al
lege, there can be no question but that
the present suggestion is timely and
will bear good fruit The American
people are VIGOROUSLY and at times
criminally eXtravagant in the deStruc-
ton of the material foundations of
their national prosperity, and the
presidential action is calculated to
cause abatement and conservatism
along these lines.
Due account must be taken, how

is a step which commends itself to-
every thoughtful person. The future
will last for long time, and even the
present is confronted with some very
serious problems. No individual gets
rich selling off his own property with
out replenishing his stock, and least
of all will he prosper il he wantonly
wastes his resources. 1t is the same
with nations.
It is true that in certain depart
ments of industrial development the
surface has hardly been scratched.
The resources that are buried beneath
the earth are safer than those on top
of it. The mineral wealth of the coun-
try has hardly been discovered, much
less exploited. But the criminal waste
of the forests is something that is

trees faster than new ones can grow.

THE SHAME OF ARKANSAS

Under the above caption the Kansas
City Journal, after quoting the last
disgusting utterances of Jeff Davis in
the Senate, says:
The people and press Of Arkansas
are in the habit of complaining with
some bitterness of the fact that the
splendid tide of American homeseekers,
substantial farmers, merchants, pro-
fessiona men and skilled artisans,
which has been pouring into Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and the ter
ritories Of the southwest for the Lass
several years, has entirely ignored Ar
kansas, given it the go-by, in the
native Vernacuar in spite OF its inl-
mensely rich natural resources and its
remarkably fine climate. And it does
seem strange at first blush, for no
state in the union possesses finer nat
ural advantages than Arkansas, with
its wonderful fertile alluvial valleys
and rich beautiful mountain region;
its rich yield OF cotton, rice, wheat,
corn and tobacco; its huge deposits Of
coal, iron. lead and zinc: its pearls
and diamonds; its magnificenl forests
of black walnut, oak, cherry and pine;
its large rivers and countless springs
of the purest water i'll the world; its
luscious strawberries, cherries, peach
es and red-cheeked apples which took
first prize at the Chicago exposition
and the St Louis worlds fair; its equ-
able, salubIous climate, the most tent
perate perhaps in the United States.
Arkansas is indeed, one of the mos,
inviting spots in America.
but why should the Arkansans
complain and wonder at their isola
ton? It's cause is plain and easy OF
explanation Who should care 10
come 10 a state which sends ont as
its representative men such shallow
and ignorant demagogues as JEFF Da-
Wis? With what show of reason can
a people complain of being stunned
and misjudged who choose such men
10 represent tuclll III luc COuuCllS Oi
the nation? The rest of the country
can not be expected to know that Jeff
Davis is q libel upon the good people
of his state. that he has managed to
get offices and honors chiefly through
the support of the illiterate hill bill
lies and the ignorant Cracker class
who are the easy prey of the arts OF
a demagogue.
I'm Justice to the people of Arkansas
it must be said that educated. law
abiding classes are almost unani-
mously opposed TO the rule of such
men as jeff Davis, and even the uned-
ucated classes are beginning 10 find
him out. His candidate for governor
was badly beaten in the recent state
primaries. Although himself man
of brains and character, with good
record as attorney-general, he could
not carry the heavy handicap OF Davis
support There is a reason 70 believe

general tour Of the east and south

met with fine success. but was royalty

Mr.. Folks Is one Of those fellows

during his last trip. but felt especial

tie hand till the owner almost cries
In pain. Sometimes the new candi-

Of the loyal and unterrined. His
campaigns we're remembered not only
for that eloquence that was so pc
cuilariy his own, but by his cordial
handshakes. And who could forget
that younger man. Col Bob Davis?
His handshake was just as cordial as
that OF the gifted son Of Old Leon.
Sui, It was different. Pat Murphy,
Senator Tallaferro's friend, described
the difference, according to his In
terpretation. He once said: when
Governor Bloxham shakes your hand,
he makes you feel that he wants you
10 be his friend. When Bob Davis
gets me hand ne impresses me with
the solemn truth that he Is my
