the mighty man from Arkansas. There were yet few of the listeners left when the speech ended. Jeff didn't set the world afre. He didn't even make good. He was dis appointment, and after tke first furry he dropped out of sight.
 But Jeff was not so easily forgot ten at home. When there was a campaign on for governor of Ar kansas, he left his duties in Wash ington and disgusted his followers by stumping the state in an effort to land man whom he expected to control in his own way in the gover- nor's chair. Not satisfied with the great honor conferred upon him by the people who made him United Sates senator, he proved his lack of confidence in them by trying to tell them for whom they should vote in the governorship race. He lost-as did every man he favored save only one and that one was only pulled through because the people did not know Davis was for him.
 lgnominiously defeated in his ef- forts to dictate to his own state, the senator went back to Washington, since which time about all that has been heard from him so far as pub lie life is concerned is an occasional query as to what has become of Jeff Davis of Arkansas ?''
 Dispite and following all this. Davis has had as said at the beginning, a grand opportunity to make good.
 When other senators, Republicans and Democrats, have been fighting with might and main to protect the people from high tariff robbery, con- cocted, planned and being executed by certain interest" Republicans, aided and abetted by Democrats of the same class, Jeff Davis voice has been silent. He evidently has got ten out of this class. He is unable to create any stir. He is not able to get in the limelight, and as result is dissatisfied and wants to come back and try for another chance to misgovern the great state of Arkan- sas.
 And of all the misfortunes that could come to the state, this would be the worst.

Compliment to Mena.

The example of the citizens of Mena, who have built up one of the best little cities in the state, is worthy of adoption by every com munity in the state. It is always a pull together when they see any thing in sight that will advance the interest of their city, and a result they generally get whatever they go after. Mena is only what her citizens have made her-one of the very liveliest and best towns in Arkansas. When a seeker for in- vestments or a business location visits a town and sees the lack of push and cooperation so evident in some places. he cannot be blamed for moving on. Towns and cities are not built up by men who envy the success of their competitors, nor by men who, having secured enough of wealth to live on the rest of their lives, are content to let the other fellows do the hustling. In such cases, it is generally the other fel- lows in some other community who get the business and secures the progressive, enterprising class seek ing new locations and new fields to develop. -Batesville Guard.

IT IS A connENDABLR HOBBY

The Mena Star admits that it has d hobby-''the production in Polk county by the people of Polk county of the things consumed in Polk county.n
 It is a good hobby.
 In the same way The Democrat might say that it has hobby-''the pred Iction in Arkansas by the people of Arkansas of the things consumed in Arkansas.
 The Star insists, for instance. that the people of Polk county ought to raise enough hay for the consumption of it's own citizens.
 To be sure they ought.
 And the farmers of Arkansas should raise enough hay, and corn, and meat, and rice, and potatoes, and fruit, and such things, for the con sumption of the people of Arkansas.
 Every year millions of money is sent out of the state for the very things that are raised, or might be raised. Tn abundance within our own borders.
 It Is poor business policy.
 Let everybody get on the hobby. and ride it hard. Arkansas Democrat.
 Yes, by all means make the pro- duction of the needs of Arkansas a statewide Arkansas hobby and ride it hard and continuously.
 That is the true Prosperity Hobby.

The Morals of the Tariff.

As the result of my observations upon the different tariffs of the the world (and 1 do not pretend to b. wise or deeply read on this mat teri, fird that wherever there is a protective tariff it has built up a system of morality of it's own, and l never found that it's rules of mor- als were in accord with any other rules of morals, religious or secular, ever framed in this world. It has built up a system of morals in this country that not only is wicked, but it allows to be done by authority of law what the man who does it would meyer do in his private capa ,ity as 8 citizen. It. permits man not only to covet his neighbor's goods, but to take them away from him by force of law. When we consider that we collected a little over 300 million dol lars last year, and the people of this country pay in taxation to these protected interests $2, 100, ,000, ,0O0, think it is about time we are consid- ering whether we are not taxing the American people a little too far Senator J. P. Deliver, in the United States Senate.

worry each other; no American con- siders that he is doing his duty un- less he is worrying the life out of three or four people. If it isn't his wife and children, it is his neigh bors, or his competitors. All of us should take an oath to worry fewer people in the future. It's a wicked business. Whenever possible, let people alone in the enjoy ment of their natural rights.
 1t may be all right to marry for love but there is nothing like making as much of an investigation as you can into the breeding and past his tory of the family you are going to tie to. Men and women are the only class of animal life where breeding is not considered. The common virtues; honesty, sobriety, industry, moral and physical cleanliness, intel llgence, plain, common sense and and the gift of saving are the neces- sary virtues. With them on both sides of the family for several gene rations back, there need be no fear of furnishing the world family in which there is liable to appear degenerate or a criminal. Breeding has about as much to do with the successful bringing up of children as the influences which surround them.
