and it's tributaries. The tonnage
handled over the waters of the Mssis-
sippi last year was one-third less than |
it was 20 years ago. Professional pol !
iticians, in their public utterances,
proclaim in their efforts to prejudice
the public against the railroads, that
grain, coal and. other commodities
can be handled from st. Louis and
other Mississippi and Ohio river points
to New Orleans for one dollar per ton
but they do not tell you that, figur-
ing interest on the 225 million dollars
of tax money expended, each ton of
last years shipment by the Missis-
sippi river and it's tributaries cost
the tax payers Sc cents ton in in
terest, in addition to the freight
charges.
Taxpayers Are Stockholders.
Il have on several occasions urged
the improvement of the Mississippi
river and 1 am not now talking against
it, but only illustrating the unbusiness
like and slipshod manner in which the
government is carrying on its enter
prises in handling the business of its
stockholders, who are the tax payers
Il believe with Thomas jefferson
in a government frugal and simple,
applying all possible saving of the
public revenue to the discharge of the
national debt, and not to the multiple
cation of offices and salaries
This theory was promulgated in
1901, when the expenses of the gov
eminent were nine adm half millions
annually. Last year they were more
than $50 million dollars. The money
received for all the cotton grown by
all the farmres in the United States
last year was not sufficient to pay
the operating expenses of the govern
ment.

STATE APPROPRIATES LAND.

Little Rock, Nov. 4.-There was a short meeting of the Arkansas peni- tentary board yesterday afternoon, just long enough for the board 10 ap- propriate 160 acres of land adjoining to the farm, which is the property of the state. The statute which covers the establishment of the farm gives the board the power to take state land and Attorney General Norwood ren- dered an opinion stating that this act was not repealed by subsequent ones, so the board took possession without the payment of the $1.25 per acre which would otherwise have been necessary. The land adjoins the state farm, and by annexing it the bound ary line is strengthened

ROMANCE AFTER PARDON
JOE POWERS, CONVICTED OF BIGAMY, TO BE RE
 MARRIED.

Jonesboro, Nov IA romance is now due to grow out of Governor Rob ertson's pardon record. One of the prisoners liberated from the peniten- tiary during Governor Donagney's s ab- sence from the executive chair is now figuring on doing the same thing that first caused him to go to prison, but under circumstances which will not make his contemplated action crime. And thereby hangs a romance.
 Joe Powers, a moving picture ma chine operator who formerly worked at theatel here, is reported to be ln- tending to marry Miss Pauline Miller of this city as soon as he can secure a divorce from his first wife, who came here from Illinois and prosecuted Powers after the latter had married Miss Miller Powers, despite his plea that he thought his first wife had se- cured a divorce, was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary for bigamy. Now Powers and Miss Miller will if reports be true, start their
 natrimon,al venture a second time.

LITTLE HURT BY
 DECREASED FUNDS

Little Rock, Nov. 4.-Little differ ence is to be seen in the work of the pupils at the Arkansas deaf mute in- sttute this year from that of last, in spite of the reduction of the appro- priation. The attendance at the school is now 221 against 315 at the end of last season. Until cotton picking is all over the deaf mute school never reaches it's maximum of attendance, and several pupils will arrive daily until after the Christmas holidays. It is expected that fully 250 pupils will be enrolled before the end of the ses- sion. 1. C. Gardner states that the cut in appropriation has not hurt the school near as much as people sup posed it would, for the reason the school could stand the cut. He says the people went into a panic when they heard the reduction was to be made without stopping to see how well it was going to work out

PROFIT IN TUBERS.

Russellville, Nov. 4.-What is said to be the largest crop of sweet ta- ters" grown on the smallest plot of ground is being held here at present by Pope county farmer for better market prices. On seven and one half acres he raised 1,600 bushels. Their present price is $2,000, but at $2 per bushel, the expected price. the crop from the seven and one-half acres will be worth $3,200, or slightly more than $400 per acre.

 GETTING CHESTY

Little Rock, Nov. 4.-In former years Arkansas University has been beaten in Little Rock by Louisiana and Tennessee, but this year there is prospect for the score being in favor of the Cardinals, not only because the university team is much stronger than in former years, but because Wash ington University, which opposes Ar kansas here Thanksgiving, is going a bit badly at the present time. T. T. Dickinson has started to work on the official program for the game, and it will be work of art as well as ref erence. Arkansas has two hard games now before tackling Washington Uni versity of St. Louis here turkey day, one next Saturday with Mississippi at Fayetteville, and the other the fol- lowing Saturday with Louisiana in on taking the Mississippi game with ease and believes the Razorbacks will triumph over Louisiana on neutral grounds. Ouachita is played at Ar kadelphia two days later, but this is not considered game for anything but practice and to take out the sore ness caused by the contest with Loui- siana. There is more interest shown over Arkansas in the game which will take place here Thanksgiving than there has been in years, and crowd of fully 10000 people is expected to crowd the West End field for that game. If Arkansas wins from both Mississippi and Louisiana, the fences will have to be moved back to get the crowd in the park. The college re unions will also bring much larger crowd to the game

FEW VIOLATIONS FOUND.

Fort Smith, Nov. 4.-The child-la- bor laws of Arkansas are not being violated to any important extent in the factory districts of the state, ac- cording to the finding of the assistant prosecuting attorney of Sebastian county, who has just completed an ex- tensive investigation of the matter. He found most of the factory opera tors ready and willing to obey the let ter of the law as well as the spirit
 The few who were found breaking tn law limiting the age of operatives were listed and will not be prosecuted if they promptly obey the warning which has been served upon them.

BRIDGE PROMOTES
 RAILROAD BUILDING

Little Rock, Nov. 4.-Besides being the finest bridge in Arkansas, the
 structure which is to span the Ar
 kansas at Van Buren, connecting that city with Fort Smith, which is to be
 erected by an improvement district consisting of good portion of Craw
 ford and Sebastian counties, and which will be thrown open to the pub lie when completed, the bridge will
 promote railroad building in that vii cinity. This is the statement of Rail- road Commissioner R. P. Allen of Van
 Buren, one of the commissioners of the district, who was in the city yes terday. He says the commissioners are now figuring on the plans, and at the same time negotiating with num- Der of railroads which desire to use the bridge. For number of years the Kansas City Southern has been endeavoring to get to Fort Smith by a cutoff through Van Buren. The bridge will remove the cost of erect ing bridge by the railroad, and the Kansas City Southern will probably now take up the construction of the cut. The Fort Smith & Western, of which Fort Smith is the eastern ter minus, is also anxious to extend to Van Buren. The bridge will be open to the public for free passage, but two railroad tracks will be laid and the railroads which use them pay a royal

OFFICIAL CALL
 TO COMMITTEE

Chairman Frank II. McCarty and Secretary R. w. Robins of the county Democratic central committee today issued the official call for the first meeting of the committee, which will be held here November 20. Following the meeting of this committee it is ex- pected that politics will be the "order of the day" in this county for few months
 The candidates are already begin ming to discuss the time for holding the primary. At least two-thrds of those who have expressed an opinion on the matter favor holding county primary early next year and also ia vor separating it from the state pri- mary, as has been the custom in the past If it is decided to hold the pri- mary in February or March practi- cally all of the county candidates will have entered the campaign by Decem- Der.
 The official call for the central com mittee follows:
 "A meeting of the Democratic cen tral committee of Faulkner county, Arkansas, is hereby called to convene at the courthouse in Conway, Arkan- sas on Saturday, November 20, 1909, at 1 o'clock p. m., to consider the call ing of primary elections to nominate Democratic candidates for county. dis trict and state offices, to provide for holding said elections, and to transact any other business that may come be- fore the committee.
 This meeting will be a very inn portant one, because under the pres ent law it is necessary for the central committee to select judges to hold pri- mary elections, and it will be neces- sary for the committee at this meet ing to decide on manner of selecting these judges.

WAR ON AMONG
 COTTONSEED MEN

Wild and excited has been the cot tonseed market in Conway today, the prices paid ranging from $25 to $32 ton. The latter price, which has been the ruling figure since noon today, amounts to 53 cents bushel and is the highest ever known in this city, lacking only $l of being three times the price paid during the early part of last season.
 Late last afternoon $30 was paid for a few lots of seed, and some were bought this morning at yesterday mornings price of $25. The price soon rose to $29, up to $30 again, and finally to $32
 The extremely high prices are said to have been caused by war between the buyers of the Little Rock concerns and the local oil mill Four Little Rock crushers are represented Con way. Some of the local agents state that the price is likely to go still high CT, one admitting that he had author ity from his company to put the price as high as $34 if necessary to get the seed. It is hardly thought pos sible, however that the high price will be maintained for any great length of time as it is evidently losing prop osition for the mills. The farmers are taking advantage of the big prices and are rushing the seed to town as rapid lY as possible

CHESTER TEACHERS, TOO,
WANT BETTER SALARIES

CHESTER. Pa. May 5-Unless the
Board OF Education decides 20 increase
the salaries of the teachers I'm the
fourth. ffth and sixth grades Of tho
public schools. tho teachers may in
augurate a strike or take some other
drastic means 70 get more pay.
The teachers held z secret meeting
last night 20 talk over the situation.
and the understanding was that the
matter should be kept quiet until the
school board met when grievance
committee would wait upon the direc-
tors. But somebody could not keen
a secret, however, and the thing leak
ed out
Professor Cole. superintendent OF
Public Education. was vexed when Ia
learned that the teachers had ignored
him IN the discussion OF the salary
question. II appears that the teachers
violated two rules OF the school board,
one Of which prohibits the holding OF a
meeting I'm a school room without per-
mission of the board, and the other
that Of holding a meeting TO discuss
school matters without first consulting
the superintendent.
Harry NJ. Mccoy, a member OF the
board. says that It is not likely that
the board will raise the salaries of the
teachers.
