Alabama.

Gov. Conner and Judge Jones are old
enough to know, and high enough in the
world to act, better. Neither is bad
man. Neither would use his office for a
base purpose. Both have risen by merit.
and both have done the state some serv-
ice. Why, then, this exchange of biting
personalities? What of public benefit. or
real private satisfaction. is to flow from
it? If they were aspiring youngsters. all
bounce and inexperience. and playing to
a crowd stuffed with roasted meat at
barbecue. they might be excused. But
graybeards in high place should conduct

"The Sage of Nebraska"

Prof. Charles Wallace of Nebraska, Wis
ting in London. has stirred up strife by
participating in a discussion respecting
the site of the Globe Theater. the play
house with which in his day Shakespeare
was connected. English students of the
drama and burrowers in it's traditions
differ with Prof. Wallace and are politely
referring to him as the "sage of Ne
braska." It is all very we'll to compli-
ment a visitor. and in q controversy
make him feel as comfortable as posi-
BILE, but let there be no confusion about.
or misapplication of. titles. There Is a
sage OF Nebraska but, as all Ameri-
cans know, he Is not Prof. Wallace. He
is so we'll known in this country he need
not be named.

Democratic Leaders.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press:

1.-The late William R. Morrison, 'Hori-
zontal BILL was a party leader when the
democratic party followed leaders. Now
every democrat is his own leader"
Sufficient honor can be rendered Col
Morrison's memory without distorting
history. He was a sincere and capable
man. but no more able to lead his party
in the House on the tariff question than
his successors have shown themselves to
be. He failed signally. The truth. as all
who search may discover. is that the
democratic party has not since the civil
war been united on the tariff question.
1t has put up a great front in it's plat
forms, but never really meant what 1t
said. and. at last, in 1894, its duplicity
was unmaSked.

Washington was enjoying a boom half

thus optimistically reviewing the situa-

From time to time the eastern newspa-

Hope continued high that these animals

and that the then difficult problem Of

desert would be thereby solved. This
hope. by the way. was destined to be
shattered by the discovery that the alkali
in the soil was injurious to the hoofs Of
the camels and that they could not be
used continuously for caravan purposes
In The Star Of October 8. 1859. Is the fol-
lowing paragraph on the subject:
"A letter has recently been received by
the Secretary of War from Supt. Beale

speaks in the strongest terms Of the

BANK IS ROBBED
 BY LONE BANDIT
Daylight hiehwayman Forces Cashier at Vanderv0Ort to Hand Over $500
 al Point of Revolver.

Mena, August 13.-A special message from Vandervoort, 32 miles south of Mena, states that a lone highwayman robbed the Bank of Vandervoort of $500 just before 4 o'clock this afternoon, and made his escape. Accord ing to the message, the man walked into the bank and cover cred Cashier Crane with re- volver, demanding the money in the cash drawer. Crane was helpless and handed the man the $500 that the drawer contained. After securing the money the highwayman coolly ordered Crane and another young man, who was in the bank, to accom- pany him. He threatened them with instant death if they made move to sound an alarm. Crane and his companion were con- pellcd to walk from behind the counter and accompany the high wayman down the street and across the Kansas City Southern Railroad tracks into the woods at the foot of the mountain west of the town.
 At that point the robber turn ed and ordered his prisoners to go back to town and not to looff behind them. He stood and watched them for a nom ent and then disappeared in the woods. Cashier Crane hurried back and gave the alarm. The people of Vandervoort are greatly excited, and armed posses are securing the country in search of the bank robber.

GOING TO RAISE WHEAT.

EIdorado, Ark, Aug. 1.-The high price of flour and the scar city of biscuits has almost cauS- ed a revolution in Union county. At any rate a number of farmers in the county will give wheat growing a fair trial this fall in order to raise enough of the pro- duct to provide them with bis cults. Life is hardly worth living to an average resident of Arkan- sas without delicious little bis cults three times a day but the prohibitive price of flour lately has made such a menu almost impossible. The indications are, however, that the farmers will be successful in their efforts to raise wheat.
 Years ago, before the war and for some years a great deal of good wheat was raised in this and surrounding counties and flour mills dotted the country at frequent intervals. The cotton boom caused most of the farmers to quit raising wheat and the country has been run on a cotton basis ever since. A change has been noticeable the past two years and diversified farming is again becoming pop ular which will tend to make the country more self sustaining. It is expected that plenty of mills will be ready for operation by the time the first wheat is har- vested.
