THE WORLD WON'T QUIT.

If President Roosevelt thought that
he was going to bluff Mr.. Joseph. Pulit-
ger and his great newspaper, the New
York World, by his special message to
congress and his action in having his
attorney general prosecute the publish
of that paper for libel, he was sadly
mistaken.
The World continues to speak right
out in meetin' just as if the man in
the white house had not strongly init
mated that he wanted silence from
that particular pew in Park Row.
For instance, in the issue of January
%, The World submits the following
remarks about grand juries and the
president:
THE evidence in Mr.. Roosevelt's
special message to congress would
alone be sufficient to prove that this
is a personal proceeding on his part
against The World, undertaken for
purposes of private and political re-
yenga.
THE real offense of The World Is
that for years it has been an uncom-
promising leader of the democratic
opposition against Mr.. Roosevelt's
jingoism, militarism, lawlessness, vio-
lence, Capitalization and cowboy gov
eminent. -, e.
Mr.. Roosevelt's grievances against
this newspaper are numerous and
noteworthy. We severely condemned
his methods of raising a campaign
fund in 1904, a criticism that was af-
terward corroborated by sworn evil
dende of s150,000 of life insurance con-
tributiens, by public proof of Harri-
mans $260,008 and by the undeniable
charge of the Standard Oil company's
100000. We printed the Hartman
letter to Sidney Webster, in which that
eminent railroad manipulation discussed
his secret political relations with Mr..
Roosevelt. This compelled Mr.. Roose-
Welt to make public the correspondence
with My Dear Sherman which showed
how he himself had encouraged tainted
money to believe it could control the
presidency.
I'VE censured Mr.. Roosevelt for
his wild. vituperative speeches in the
summer of 1907 and warned him that
he was driving the country on to a
disastrous panic. Mr.. Roosevelt con-
tinued his policy of government by
denunc iation, and the Roosevelt panic
came. ETgs
I'VE have criticised the favoritism
with which he has enforced and not
enforced the law. We have criticised
the favoritism which has demoralized
the army and navy. We have criticised
his TRADES against 'malefactors Of
great wealth whom he has refused to
prosecute individually for the offenses
ne charged against them. We have also
criticised him for his wanton assaults
upon the courts, for his libel upon con-
grese and for his ISLANDERS against In

Apropos of "The Girl Question:"

No stage director in many years
has succeeded in maintaining the mar
velous discipline among his chorus and
at the same time keeping them keyed
up to the topmost pitch of enthusi-
asm and ginger which Harry Han
Ion has done through the long and ard
uous tour of 1.-The Girl Question" He
has done it by his kindness, fairness
and consideration with the result that
his popularity with the company to-
day is so great that they would cheer
fully respond to a rehearsal call at a.
| m. if he issued it-and to those who
know the difficulty of getting a theat-
rical rehearsal started by 10 o'clock
this is the acme of popularity. Miss
May Stewart, the poet laureate of the
company, recently immortalized him in
the following verses:
Our dear Harry Hanlon is really a
sight
AS he waddles along the street;
IL lie uOeSH LOOK OUT, lie VIII ule WITH
the govt,
And be served up as something to eat
But the girls think it's grand to see
him expand,
And blow up like a little balloon;
They are all making book on how he
will look,
If he keeps on like this until June.
Sweet slave driver Hanlon is his
other name,
Bestowed by the chorus one day.
But they all love him so that he has
made great go

It's crowd of young girls full of ruff
files and curls;
Pretty? Well I should say so.
Their looks and their dancing are so
mighty enhancing,
It's said they are the stars Of the
show.
The receipts of this play 1 should hate
for to say,
They are SO big it's appalling, by Jove
If there is any more Mon" when THE
Girl Question is done,
You can bet that it's hid in the
stove.

 Dr. George believes in educat- ing the body as we'll as the mind, and said that every high school in the land should have a first class gymnasium and an athletic field, and that one of the teach CTS should give his attention sole ly to physical culture. Intellec- tual, physical and moral culture are three great essentials, and the home, the church and the state are three sacred institu- tons.

 The bill provides that any two or more contiguous counties in the state may form road and convict district at the July, 1909, term of the county courts of this state and every regular term fol- lowing; that the county judges shall agree on the order necessary to carry out the contract; that the district will have the power to work all prisoners convicted in the district for misdemeanors and felonieS whose term of sentence is five years or less and for all prisoners now confined i'll the penitentiary upon the conviction of term of five years or less: that the judges of the district shall employ the warden and the warden employ the guard, sub- ieet to the approval of the judg- es.
 After explaining the duties of sheriffs on the delivery of prison CTS to the district the bills reads. he road and convict warden shall work such convicts on the roads of the respective counties or the district under tine orders of the county court, making the work Tn each county as nearly equal to the proportion of labor delivered by each county as may be practicable during the life oi the contract" Provision is made for the death and pardon of the prisoner and the paying of his fine and costs after being deliver ed to the district.

APPLE TREES
 ARE BLOOMING. BLOOM MUCH FULLER THAN
 WAS EXPECTED. MAKE A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. Indications Now are That We Will Have a Good Crop
 of Apples.
MAKE A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.

(. w. Pool, secretary Of the Springdale Commercial Club, has interviewed number of fruit growers and others relative to the apple bloom, and he finds that the trees are blooming out much better than was expected some days ago. The editor of this paper made a drive through the surrounding country, and we find conditions much better than was expected, and from present indications 1t is safe to assume that we will have a good crop of apples.
 Following are the interviews gathered by MT. Pool:
 It is just simply fine. have been up to Bentonville and or chards along the road are bloom ing out nicely. Orchards on low ground that in other years have had but little bloom are full this year.
 Hart Slaughter. My apple trees are young, not much bloom l think 1 will have two or three car loads of peaches.
 A. J. Phillips. If one-hali or fourth of the bloom now coming out makes fruit we will have a first class crop. The blossom is purple colored, indicating healthy bloom. The prevailing weather conditions are favorable for pol lenating. l have been in all di- rections from Springdale and or chards on low and high ground are in full bloom.

THE BALL GAME.

As will be noted elsewhere the basket ball game between the University of Arkansas and the High School was called off, but the game of base ball between the High School boys and the Rogers Academy team came of Friday afternoon as per announce ment, and was enjoyed by quite crowd. Sikes and Buckley was the battery for the Academy lads and Graham and Graham for the High School. Each team made one score the first time at bat, but in their second turn the Rogers boys swatted the ball good and hard, and with the as- sistanCe of errors on the part of the locals, tallied eight times. The locals drew d goose egg thelr second time at bat, and 1t looked as If they would be unable to overcome the lead of their op- ponents, but they played consist ent ball throughout the remain der of the game. winning by a score of l6 to IA. The feature of the game, from local stand- point, was the capture by Roger Sanders in the last inning of a long fly from the bat of Buckley, and a nice bunt by Fay Stafford in the eighth inning.

 Stra wberry growers in the vi- einity of Gentry estimate the crop was cut short twenty per cent as result of the recent freeze. E. N. Plank, who has l40 acres in berries, thinks he lost 1000 crates from the freeze.

 When the thermometer dropped below freezing Tuesday morning the spirits of good many oi our fruit growers dropped with it. According to the government report at Bentonville, the ther. mometer was only below freezing at thirty-for about fifteen minutes and that was not long enough to hurt the fruit. We have talked with dozens of oui growers and they are agreed that the damage, if any, was very slight and will amount to noth. ing.
