UNLESS the most promising indications should fail, Judge Warrington will be indorsed and promptly appointed to the office of United States district attorney.

It is hardly probably the President will start out ignoring the state organization.

However, it is not known that Senator Clarke would favor Youmans or any one else as against Worthington.

Granger and the Gam Bill.

Representative R. s. Granger of Carroll county voted against the Gam Prohibition bill, giving the following explanation for his action:
 I am sincere friend of prohibition, and have always voted against liquor, but when I listened to speeches or the floor of the House in which it was brazenly and unblushingly stated that no temperance question could be sub- mitted to the whole people for vote, with any hope of a fair election, de- clared that the blame for this condition is with the Democracy and with the temperance people as much as anyone that the question could be submitted, I, and then if prohibition failed as q re- suit of corrupt election steal, the de- cent people would have an object lesson that might induce them to wipe thls present corrupt election law out of existence. Reform the election law first, and then the people can fairly ex- press their desires at the polls and have their wishes carried out. Many of my friends in the House who urged that l support the Gam bill were opposed earlier in the session to any measure leading to the purification of our elec- tions.
 MT. Granger stated that he will introduce resolution call ing for the submission of a con : stitutional amendment to the voters in accordance with the declaration of the Republican state platform, that will prohibit manufacture or sale of intoxi- eating liquors within the borders of the state.
 Notwithstanding his plausible e explanation of his position and his evident sincerely The Tri- bune would have much preferred to record MT. Granger's vote in favor of the Gam bill.

"T ricks in All Trades"

The Daily Times Echo of Eu- reka Springs boasted that it gave it's readers a complete account of the inauguration of President Taft eighteen hours ahead of any other newspaper arriving in Eu- reka Springs, that within less than four hours after the cere- monies were completed the &C., count was given in full to it's readers.
 The Tribune begs the esteemed Times Echo pardon, but our pa per was before it's readers in Flu reka Springs early on the morn ing of March ), having arrived there at 9 o'clock the night be- fore, containing in elaborate detail the events that took place in Washington at the inaugura- tion, fully as complete as the report given by the Times Echo.
 The Tribune would not have you believe, however, that this "scoop" was due to any extra ordinary effort upon our part. There are tricks in all trades. In order to accommodate the press and public generally, President to- be Taft gave his address to the various press as- sociations in confidence days before the inauguration, not to be released until the event had taken place. Likewise did the inaugural committee give the program to the press corres- pondents in the minutest detail, enabling them to reasonably an- ticipate the proceedings; hence the remotest country weekly is enabled, if it is willing to foot the extra expense, to have the red-hot news from Washington ready to put before it's breathless readers by the latest and most approved wireless.
 Such has been the policy of the Administrations at Washing ton for good many years, real i.ing that much more interest is elicited in governmental affairs by giving the public the benefit of the swiftest possible news service. Things that happen today are not news tomorrow any more in national affairs.
 When you take up your daily paper to read the presidents message to congress-if you ever read one-you do not real ize that the type for that mes- sage was set several days before the day it was delivered, but such is fact. Not even the Washington press, however, is given authority to release the message in advance of the most

Dedicated to the Memory of
 George Thorn

Though many years afflicted, With courage, loyal true, He did with trembling hand More than many strong men do. Mid pain and sad aff1iction, Weak but yet how strong! He would rather toll with trembling
 frame,
 Than do a thing that's wrong. When he spoke it was the truth, It was from falsehood free. He always walked with fiimest steps, In the path of honesty. But now 'tis over, George is gone, And will no more in suffering be, He is now in heavenly glory, There to spend eternity.

THE Springdale News gives notice that on April 1, it will adopt strictly cash in advance policy on subscription. This is a good business policy and it is unfortunate for the country pub- fishers that the postal depart ment does not require it.
