The BEST Auto Tire

The Goodyear Detachable Auto Tire has been
proved BEST by the cold-blooded. passionless test
of maximum mileage and minimum trouble.
800 of the 1000 Taxicabs in New York City. oper-
ated by several competing companies have con-
tracted for Goodyear Tires to be used exclusively
Notwithstanding that in first cost Goodyear Tires
entered in competition. The tests made by these
companies were unheard Of in severity.
These Taxicabs are doing 60 900 tire miles a
year-over MILLION tire miles WEEK. Think
oft. Several makes of tires were tried The mileage
of all was checked by the 7aximefey. No guess
work-nothing left to the imagination-jusf cold
facts. The Goodyear was so Oastiy superior that
there was no comparison.
Against the mileage record was checked the
trouble Sheets'-showing the stops made neces-
sary by tire troubles and time required to remedy
them. Here again there really only one tire
in the contest-the Goodyear Detachable. It was
found practically troubleproof.
The Goodyear Tires used on these Taxicabs are
the same that are offered through our agents and
branch houses to those who ride for pleasure
of proht-they are in sense" Especial" tires. The
truth of these statements easily be confirmed.
You-whose only troubles are Tire troubles-consider
you. How much would now be in pocket If there
been tire expense in your upkeep cost season.

CASE TO SUPREME COURT
Decision. Ion Mandamus Petition to Go to
 Highest Tribunal

Little Rock, June 25.-It has been decided to appeal the decision of Judges Stevenson, Lea and Martineau, made on the mandamus petition of Caldwell & Drake to force Auditor lobe to issue war rants upon S2o,ooo in vouchers held by the contractors, to the su- preme court. The appeal would not have been taken had the court decided the S2o, 900 could be paid out of the Oldham bill appropria- tion, but when it made a distinc- ton between salaries and contract, and declared the state capitol ap- propriation continuous one, there by practically reversing a former decision of the supreme court, 1t was thought best to appeal the case. The decision was put up to Governor Donaghey by Auditor lobe, and now that it has been de cided upon, Attorney General Norwood will take hold and make the fur fly.

GRAND JURY 10
 PROBE CASE

Little Rock, June s. - The Pulaski county grand jury will to- day begin probing the criminal as sault case ill which Earl Dill, the I6-year-old boy in the Hot Springs jail, is charged with assaulting Miss Ray Burkhalter Many wit
 nesses have been summoned,
 among them Miss Buckhalter, but
 as she suffered a nervous collapse yesterday, there is a doubt of her being able to appear before the inquisitorial body. Dill will not be
 brought to Little Rock until time for trial in the fall and even then he will hardly come, as his attor-
 neys will try for change of venue
 knowing the feeling to be such against Dill in Little Rock he could not secure an impartial trial.
 A strange feature oi the case
 which came up yesterday afternoon,
 was the appearance about the court house ol young man who appear
 ed 10 be partially intoxicated. He represented himself to be a reporter on the Democrat and asked all the officials their oplnion as to Dill's guilt or innocence. As the young
 man was a stranger, the officials paid lstle attention to him, passing him OH to the basement of the building to Assessor Moore. Alter asking q few questions of Assessor
 Moore, the young fellow having discharged his apparent intoxica- ton by this time, expressed very

never a more fragrant perversion of facts palmed off on the public than this. It is a dishonest criticism and one so foreign to the truth that it would shame any one pre- tending to have sense of honor.
 Legitimate criticism is all right, but lying persecution and perver- sion of facts are quite a different thing. When such charges were first made the Soliphone was in clined to attribute them to ignor- , ance. But since the decent papers of the state (many of them anti Donaghey papers) have published the facts time and again and in the face of these corrections the charg- es are still circulated by the sheets originating them, the matter re- solves itself down to simple ques- ton of honor-or rather lack of honor. It is as dishonest to cir culate lie in politics as it is in in tercourse between men. The poli- tical liar is as contemptible in the sight of honest men as is the indi
 vidual who will lie about his neighbor. .-Paragould Soliphone.

The Political Liar.

The anti-administration papers ill the state have been emitting
 long and piercing howls over the effort of Governor Donaghey to place the state on firm financial footing. They proceed upon the theory, born of ignorance and pre- iudice, that he himself created the deficit in the state treasury and that all the blame for the stringency in the states finances properly be- long on his shoulders.

 When this news has been off cially confirmed elaborate prepar- ations will be made for Taft's com ing, for the citizens are keenly alive to the financial benefits that would accrue from the visit of a celebrity whose presence would put Hot Springs in the date lines of every newspaper i'll the country and give the resort some advertis- ing that thousands of dollars couldn't buy.

Tyler ol Green brier yesterday afternoon, his pun ishment being fixed at fire of SIo and one minute in jail.

Wit nesses testified that the old man was seeu coming toward home with a sack of meat which he after wards buried in his garden, and the evidence that he had taken 1t is said to have been conclusive. Phillips did not take the stand, but after the judgment of the court was rendered he asked an appeal, which was granted.
 Phillips claims to be a Con',d q crate veteran. He is an applicant for pension, but his application was denied last year on the ground, it is stated, that he belonged to armies OH both sides in the civil war.

the differences Of opinion on which the

tributed the legal knowledge.
Mr.. Reyser is the sOn-in-laW of Mr..
Prince. and lives in the house on Six

built a house on the adjoining lot. He
did not like the fence which separated
his lot from the Prince property. Mr.

as IL gave the washlady plenty Of room
on which to hang the family wash. Mr..
Marlatt asked Mr.. Peyser TO reduce the

Clined. Then Mr.. Marlatt requested per-

Ing his repairs cut it down TO five feet
