GOVERNOR DONAGHEY'S JOB

No man, we believe, ever as sumed the office of governoe of Arkansas of whom so much is ex- pected as George w. Donaghey, who will,soon be inaugurated.
 Naturally and politically MT. Donaghey is we'll equipped to meet these expectations of the people. He is endowed with a clear brain; he has given evidence of strong executive ability; his disposition is agreeable, and he makes and keeps friends; he has a "bull-dog' tenacity of purpose, he is in the prime of life and possess es a robust physque. He has livediin dire poverty andincomp ara tive wealth; his work has been such that he has been intimately associated with at once the lowest typt of labor and the man of wealth and high position, and he is thus familiar with every class of citi- zenship with which he will have to deal.
 To these natural qualifications he has added, through many years of close observation and study and through one year of intense appli- cation, research and travel, an un- usual knowledge of the problems of state government. No governor elect has ever more arduously en- deavored better to fit himself for the office than has George w. Donaghey during the past year.
 He will go into office with the personal friendship of all of the state officers with whom he will be associated. By carefully avoiding even a semblance interference with their prerogatives, he commands the respect of the members of the general assembly. And, finally, no one was ever stronger in the confident and affections of the peo- pie.
 This, then, though briefly and imperfectly summarized, is the equipment of Arkansas next gov, ernor with which he must deal with the problems of his state. Il would seem that he should exper. fence no difficulty in the solution of any of them.
 But difficulties now perhaps un. seen will inevitably rise up to block his path of progress.
 The state treasury now contains $50, ,ooo less than when the legis. lature convened two years ago. A deficit, barely avoided last year seems almost certain next year, un- can render that arm powerless or
The log cabin Democrat., 1909-01-07

less the state general tax rate is raised. A lower tax rate has been the policy of the incoming govern or. To meet the expenses of the state government without increas- ing the rate of taxation is one of the problems MT. Donaghey will have to grapple with.
 He is pledged to an abolition of the convict lease system. But the present sholders of profitable contract will never surrender it until every means to keep 1t has been exhausted. He also favors working these convicts on the public roads. But this will be ad- ditional expense to the depleted treasury, because the convicts can not thus maintain themselves.
 MT. Donaghey's biggest task, however, will be the satisfactory completion of the new state capi- tol. This is one of the principal blanks ia his platform, and the people expect and believe that the capitol will at last be finished without suspicion of further graft.
 The railroad rate question, the proposed system of agricultural ed ucation, state wide prohibition, the tax system-these and hun dreds of other questions will face the new governor.
 In the solution of all these prob lens there will be varied and di- verse interests at work. Every proposition will have its advocates and its opponents. The struggle to secure some of the policies of the state government will neces- sarily be long aud bitter.
 i We trust that in passing judg- ment upon the official acts of Gov ernor Donaghey, the people will take these things into considera- ton. There will be many things that the governor cannot do, how. ever much he and the people may desire to have them done. The governor is only one arm of the state government. The legisla ture powerful to accomplish any reform
 But we know that George w. i Donaghey is going to make an honest, earnest and untiring effor, to give the people of Arkansas the best administration they have ever had. And if difficulties beset him Ii he fails i'll some things or many, we believe that he will end his term even stronger in the conf dence of the people than when he entered the office of governor.

Easy aAa the aPEs noWled fsaF1ntlV
On April S3, therefofe, I again turned
My nose southwark, which was mucl
easier, as you cannot turn your nose
| in any other direction when you stant
at the pole.'
Describing the return journey, DR.
Cook said:
Fortune now smiled. We did q
| miles per day until we reached the
ominous 87th degree. Then I felt the
ice moving eastward, carrying us with
it. A terrible fog swept around us
and kept us for three weeks. We got
no further than the Saith degree. Their
began a heavy walk towards Hell
bergsland and another three weeks OF
fog. When that cleared 1 saw we had
drifted southwark to Ringnesland
where we found open water and tow
er-high screw ice, which stopped our
way eastward.
"'We now began to suffer hunger
Our provisions were becoming ex-
hausted, and we were unable to find
depots. We entered Ringnesland and
on June 20 found the first animals on
our return-bears and seals. We shot
bear.
"And now our goal was the whalers
at Lancaster Sound. We followed the
drift ice to the south 80 miles day,
but were stopped by pack ice in We'll
lington channel, which was impassa-
BILE either by boat or sledge. Here
was lots of game, but we did not dare
shoot it. We had only taken a hun
dred bullets to the pole and now only
Is were left We went into Jones
Sound after walrus and bears, and
found open, calm water. We met pol
ar wolves with which some of our
dogs made friends and ran away.
Now we spent day and night in an
open boat ten miles from shore. This
lasted for two months, while storms
ragged ever our heads. At last we gel
ashore again, but we had no fuel and
were obliged to eat birds raw. One
day we found fuel and what feast
we had. But we suffered much hun
ger during this period. One night a
bear came and stole our food. We had
many fights with musk oxen which at
tackled us. Our best weapon against
them was the lasso.'"
The correspondents story quotes
Dr. Cook as saying in conclusion:
Say that the day we reached our
provision stores at Etah was a great
er day than April 21. I long to get
back to civilization, to move among
my fel1owmen: I long to fress my
wife to my heart. I am the happiest
man living. Tell the whole world I
thank God [ am back"

Explorer Cook Tells Briefly
the Story Of His
Tip North.
DfscOVerer Says He Has Ample Proof
of His Achievement
$4,000 Miles of Unknown
Land.

Copenhagen, Sept. 3-All Denmark
tonight is awaiting the arrival of DR.
Frederick A. Cook. A regal welcome
awaits the man whose announcement
from Lerw1ck on September 1 that
he had discovered the north pole
startled the entire civilized world.
The steamer Hans Egede, on which
the explorer is returning from the
northern extremity of Denmark al
two o'clock this afternoon and is ex-
pected to steam into the sound late
tonight and to dock here tomorrow
morning.
DR.. Cook made definite statement
today that he was able to submit data
which would prove that he has attain
ed the goal which for centuries had
been the objective of explorers. He
said he was quite prepared to learn
that jealous persons were at work en-
deavoring to cast doubt upon his
work, but that he stood ready to give
over his figures for a test by any sci
entific authority.
DR.. Cook told the correspondent
that he had seen nothing of the ex-
petition of Commodore Peary.
He said there was no land at the
pole, only water, the depth of which
he could not gauge.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS.
The Brave Smile That Keeps Back the
Tears.

The masque of comedy sometimes
covers the face of sorrow and many
smile to keep back the tears. At Will
mington a large crowd at a summer
park laughed at the antics and gri-
maces of comedian who reveled in
ridicule and mimicry, Trouble seem
ed to be as far removed from him as
if it had never existed. Yet his own
son lay dead that night, killed as by a
flash of lightning In the fatal crash
of machines in the automobile race
at the Brighton Beach track. He
stepped out of the brilliant footlights,
out of the storm of jest and jeers and
laughter, into the darkness of distress.
And even while the crowd still laugh
ed the father stood alone with his
grief
1t is not alone on the stage that
such tragedies occur. For many a
man and woman in private life feel
that they must present smiling face to
the world when their hearts are
breaking with sorrow. Some one has
written !.
Laugh, and the world laughs with
you;
Weep, and you weep alone:
This grand old earth must borrow it's
mirth;
The world has little time to waste
on the man who wears his heart upon
his sleeve and gives way to his feel
ings. It demands the face Of the stole
and the faith of the philosopher. 1t
has seen so many of the joys and sor-
rows, the hopes and fears, the births
and deaths of the children of men
and over each it has written, "This.
too, shall pass away
The woman beside you, the man
across the aisle, may be carrying a
sorrow as secret as it is deep. There
are many who seek distraction to for
get, who try to blunt the edge of dis
appointment too keen to bear. 1t takes
bravery to bear bereavement, an6
though wounded to the heart, to face
| life and it's tasks. The man who re
fuses to give way to his grief otter
suffers more than one who could let j
| spend itself in lamentations. Will
| the smile on the face there is Otter
the tear in the eye. Though there is {
quaver in the voice, out of the dark
ness rises the brave song of cour
age and hope.-Baltimore Sun.

TWO MEN ARE KILLED

Train Made Up of Baggage and Mail
Cars, Two Day Coaches and Two
Pullmans Wrecked by Re-
mOval of Rail.
mOval of Rail.

Newcastle Junction, Pa, Sept. A.
Two men are dead, another is dying
and about 40 persons are injured to-
day as the result of the wrecking by
train robbers of the Royal Blue Ex-
press train No. 5, of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, bound from New York
to Chicago at midnight.
The dead are: John Dill, engineer,
Chicago; John Wheatcroft, baggage
master, Chicago.
The train was going at rate of
more than fifty miles an hour when
the locomotive ran upon rail which
the spikes holding it to the ties had
been removed. The locomotive at once
left the track, dragging with it the
entire train, consisting of two pull
man coaches, two day coaches and
the baggage car, all tumbling into a
ditch about 80 feet deep. The cars
turned over in the plunge, and practi-
cal1y all the passengers and train men
were imprisoned
Messages were at once sent out in
all directions for help while the res
idents Of Newcastle Junction did all
they could to extricate the persons
imprisoned in the wreck. The cries
of the injured could be heard for
many blocks, and it was feared for
time that the wreckage would catch
fire. To prevent this water was pour
ed on it from several lines of hose.
In less than half an hour relief
trains with surgeons from Ellwood
City, Newcastle and Wampum, Pa,
had reached the scene and as fast as
the injured were brought from the
wreck they were given attention and
then sent to the Shenango Valley Hos
pita1 at Fish Castle.
The bodies of Engineer Dill and
Baggagemaster Wheatcroft were ta-
ken from the wreck by the wrecking
train, which was sent from Ellwood.
They were crushed beyond recogni-
ton.
AS soon as it was learned that the
train was wrecked by robbers, men
were sent to scour the entire country
for them. It is believed, however.
that they had a good start, and have
made good their escape.

STORMS AFTERMATH.
100 Families Homeless III
the Devastated Town
Of camargo.
No Mention Is Made Of Loss of Life
So 1t Is Assumed That the Inhab-
itants, Having Ample Warm
ing Escaped to High Land.

Laredo, Tex, Sept. "A dispatch
received by the mayor of Nuevedo La
redo, Mexico, from Camargo, Mexico,
situated 125 miles from this city on
the lower Rio Grande, stated that as
result of the flooding of the San
Juan river, due to the recent heavy
rains and the overflow from the Santa
Catarina river, which is a tributary
of the San Juan, half the city has
been washed away and there is great
suffering among the poor Mexicans.
The telegram states that fully 200
Mexican families are homeless and
badly in need of food supplies There
is no mention made of any loss of
life, SO it is assumed that, unlike the
flood at Monterey, which claimed such
a large number of victims, the in
habitants of Camargo had ample
warning and were enabled to escape
to high ground and save themselves
Camargo consists principally of an
aggregation of small adobe houses. 1t
is town of approximately 1000 in
habitants, and is located about three
miles inland, almost directly opposite
the town Rio Grande City on the Rio
