NO ROMANCE ABOUT THAT.

"And what did you do with the money you earned by the sale of your first romance?" they asked the eminently successful author.
 ''I spent it." he answered.

Much Cotton Coming in.

The streets are full of wagons loaded with cotton today; and the city has the appearance of day in the early fall. The sharp ad- vance in price has caused much additional cotton to be placed on the market. It is now predicted that the city's total receipts will run close to 23,ooo bales this year.

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES CITED
Commission Shows Legislature
 Increases in Tariff.
Early Appropriation of Funds to Fight Railroad Injunction Case is
 Desired.

Little Rock, Jan. 2I.-Special.- Until the legislature has passed a bill providing for fund of $50, 900 with which to fight the railroads, nothing can be done with the present freight and passenger rates. There is no hope of getting hear ing on the injunction granted the railroads until the state is in a position to care for it. The rail roads are satisfied with the present rates and the shippers must bear them until the Arkansas railroad commission has the money placed at its disposal with which to make the fight.
 It is expected the two branches of the general assembly will, before the session is a month old, pass the bills making the appropriation. To accelerate the movements of the legislature, the railroad com- mission has prepared brief table showing the differences of freight rates on some commodities now and what they were before the in creased freight rates were put i'll force after the granting of the tem- porary restraing order. A portion of the table shows the following differences in rates:
 Car lime, Fayetteville to Little Rock, railroad rate, S38.4o; com missions rate, S2I.6o, difference SI6.So.
 Car lumber, 100 miles, railroad rate, S33; commissions rate, SIS; difference SIS.
 Car hay 50 miles, rail road rate, S16. %; comm ission's rate, SS. 50; difference, S7.So.
 Car mixed groceries, (this is specific shipment to Hot Springs from Little Rock) railroad rate, S123; commissions rate, S55; diff ference, S6S. A motive power ex- pert ot the railroad which hauled the shipment later told member of the commission the car could have been transported by a special engine and special crew to handle it the entire journey, and still make money.
 Car brick, 50 miles, railroad rate, SIG; commission rate, SC; differ ence, SIo.
 Car anthracite coal, I2 miles, railroad rate, $50; commission rate, S2o; difference, 10.
 Car stone, 30 miles, railroad rate, SIC, commission rate, Sc; difference SIO.
 Car apples, Fayetteville to Little Rock, railroad rate, $72; commis- sion rate, $40; difference, S32.
 One barrel salt, 100 miles, rail road rate, .o6; commission rate, 80; difference, 66 cents.
 One bale cotton, 100 miles, rail road rate, g.; com mission rate, .75; difference, SIPS.
 One barrel oil, 100 miles, rail- road rate, SIPS; commission rate, .64; difference, GA.
 These rates show nearly every thing a member of the legislature would be liable to be closely asso- ciated with and thus brings the increase of rate very close home to him.

views of things on this issue before
they can get far with the American
people.
No doubt men like Edward NJ. Shep-
ard, Judge Alton B. Parker. and Thorn
as NJ Osborne are animated by high
motives in engaging in this movement,
tut they viii have hard work TO get
the country 20 take them very serious
ly so long as the control of New York
Democracy rests where it does and so
long as those who would revive the for
tunes of the Democracy start out TO do
1t by insisting that the Federal Govern
ment must keep its hands off the great
combinations which the States have
proven themselves unable to control.
The day is past for the advocacy OF
the State rights doctrine on this point,
and the Democratic leaders might as
well wake up TO it. When the whole
power of the Federal Government is
barely adequate to control the vast ag-
gregations of capital. it would seem
idle to talk of the dangerous centraliza-
tion of Federal power in this respect.

the men who train the big guns on the
targets and do the firing, have been
achieving some amazing Workmanship.
Their aim has beer so accurate that
the targets have been practically de-
stroycd and there has been little or
nothing left to shoot at. Three of the
targets have been sunk entirely and the
others are in sadly wrecked condition.
The figures of the battle practice
have not been made public, but It is
reported that the results have been
much more successful than was antici-
pated. At one of the Louisiana's tar
gets a record of 100 per cent was made
and the high quality Of the marksman-
ship on the vessel is shown by the fact
it will be second in battle practice The
Vermont is expected to be first in
battle practice. Much of the shooting
this year has been on the open sea, with
the gunners hsmpered by the heaving
Of the swell and the rolling of the
waves as they would be in battle
Moving targets also have been used.
Fuller details of the gunnery of the
men on the bsttleships will be eagerly
awaited not only in navy circles, but
by the general public. 1t is this sort
of thing that makes the average
American feel that the millions spent
on the navy are worth while. More
over, it is craftsmanship of this sort
that shows how little comparisons of
the strength of navies based on tonnage
figures are really worth. In the stress
of actual war. the fighting value of the
navy would be measured by the num-
Der of shots that struck the enemy's
vessels, and the American gunner would
be apt to give a good account of himself
The performances off Cape Henry en-
phasize anew the Importance Of the
man behind the gun. IF he is of the
right sort, a few thousand tons more
or less in the size of a Dreadnaught is
not likely TO be decisive.

B+RRIE'S PREFERENCE TOREs
MAIN A COMMONER.

Those who ascribe J. NJ. Barrie's re-
fusal of title to a proper modesty on
his part pay him no compliment. One
critic says that Mr.. Barrie is not in a
class with Walter Scott or Alfred Ten
nyson. and some one would have been
impertinent enough to insinuate com
PARSONS if he had accepted the honor.
Doubtless no thought was further
from Mr.. Barrie's mind than this when
he declined the offer of his maiesty's
ministers. Probably he agrees with Pitt
and Gladstone that there is more dis
tinction in being a commoner. Ger
tainly the author Of Sentimental
Tommy" and Margaret ogilvy," if not
in a class with Scott ard Tennyson,
would not suffer by comparison with
Arthur Sullivan and ". :. Gilbert. not
to mention the many individuals who
have earned their titles through the
selling of much soap and tea.
Nevertheless, those who have walked
with Tommy Sandys and Elspeth
through the Uagiy streets of Thrums,
who have seen life through the mar
velous window of the stricken Jess.
who have wandered with the lovers to
the cutie well, and sat with the faith
tul in the Aud LIGHT Kirk will be glad
that Barrie has not clothed himself in
the livery of the nobility There is
something in the LONELINESS of the
scenes he has SO alphabetically de-
picted that doesn't sort well with knee
breeches and titles-and, besides, he
may want to poke fun at those things
some day. So it is just as well that
he shouldn't tie his hands.

REHABILITATION OF NEW
YORK DEMOCRACY.

just now the eyes of politicians, Of
both parties, are keeping a close watch
on the conference of New York Demo
Gratis at Saratoga. The avowed object
Of this conference is to inaugurate a
movement for the rehabilitation of the
Democracy, not only in New York
State. but throughout the nation. The
Democratic League has been founded.
Three hundred Democrats, who avow
themselves Democrats of principle aIh
conviction, are assembled and there has
been q vast flow of oratory from the
most scholarly minds Of the party, tell
ing what is necessary in the movement
to put the Democratic party once more
on its feet, and defining what it is that
constitutes Democracy of the present
day.
If the reports from Saratoga are TO
be believed, this gathering Of the Demo
cratic leaders at Saratoga is like unto
gathering of doctors, with sick pa
tient to minister to. They are devoid
of bands, shouters, marching clubs,
swarms of hopeful candidates, press
SCENTS and heelers. Leader Murphy is
conspicuous by his absence and the
shadow of 'Fingy" Corners is not over
the gathering. Tammany henchmen are
absent.
So long as New York city is in the
grip Of Tammany, and Murphy still re-
tains his strange hold on that metrOp-
oils. most people will be inclined to
smile at the idea Of rehabilitation of
the Democratic party in New York
State alone, TO say nothing of the in
augura ton Of a movement which shall
spread throughout the nation. And yet
the conferences at Saratoga has some
things TO commend it. For instance
it has given strong Endorsement to the
direct primary and so strong a man
as Edward NJ Shepard said it would
be fatuous to deny the citizenship OF
the State was giving Governor Hughes
widespread support in the primary
/ fight. A disposition Is manifested to
turn 10 the tariff issue once more as
a question deserving the intelligent
consideration of the Democratic party
The income tax and the election of Sen
stors by direct vote appear TO meet
with favor. On some other lines. the
conference Is apparently taking a less
/ intelligent view. For instance. there
is an evident disposition TO fight against
Federal control of corporations, some
thing which President Taft heartily
favors and which there is reason To
believe public sentiment in the country
strongly favors It Is extremely doubt.
Bful if the Democrats or any other or
ganization will get far on the road to
I rehabilitation with a program that
contcmplstes opposition TO the idea
/ of the Federal Government holding a
( firm hand over the great railroad and
industrial corporations engaged in in
/ terstate business. The Democratic
