NEITHER CONTESTANT MAY RUN
In Special Election in 3Ist Sen
 atorial District.
Greaves Not to be a Candidate Unless Sumpter Runs, and Democracy May
 Turn Latter Down.

Little Rock, Feb. I9.-Special.- = That neither Greaves nor Sumpter will run in the special election tc be called to fill the vacancy ill the senate from the Thirty first district created by the senate's action ol yesterday, is the possibility held out by Hon. w. H. Martin, law partner of Col. Greaves, of Hot Springs. Although Greaves is a Republican and Col. Martin is a prominent Democrat, MT. Martin has been actively engaged in fur thering the ends of what he deems justice i'll the Greaves- Sumpte1 contest.
 MT. Martin, in speaking for MT. Greaves, said to representative ot this paper that MT. Greaves would not again become candidate and run in the special election unless Sumpter enters therace. It is MT. Martins expressed belief that Sumpter will not run as a Demo cratic candidate, which would mean that he would not run at all in the event that he did not secure a nomination i'll a democratic prl- mary which Mir. Martin says will be called soon. Mir. Martin and others who are familiar with the political line up in Garland county are of the opinion that the existing organization will not endorse Sumpter's candidacy. T h CT e would have been other candidates opposing Sumpter in the Demo- cratic primaries in which he se- cured the nomination but for the operation of rule regarding the filing of names of nominees, which other possible candidates overlook ed until too late.
 In refusing to enter the race un- less Sumpter is a candidate Greaves will be following a consistent course as he has repeatedly stated that he became candidate only to prevent the people of his district being represented by Sumpter ill the sen ate.
 Nevertheless, MT. Greaves is dis satisfied at the action taken by the senate, which he characterizes as "cowardly" and Sumpter S ap parently pleased and says that he will be in the race and will come back to the senate reelected.
 II think it was a cowardly ac ton on the part of the senate said MT. Greaves. 1T cannot say that I am pleased with it, as l be lieve I had enough votes to seat me.
 Sumpter said: "The proposition suits me alright. l expect to re- turn home at once and make pre- parations for the campaign '
 Governor Donaghey will an nounce his appointment of a sue cessor for Sumpter and will call a special election for the 3Ist sena torial district which is composed of Garland and Montgomery coun- tieS

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
 XIV TIL. nIJ W.u .Lo No,,
The Old Way vs. the New.

In former days there was no safe method of ever being sure about titles to lands.
 If you got anxious about your title you went to the courthouse. The clerk would make the search as best he could. He would take such records as he might choose and look page by page for the old deeds to your land. He could never know when his task was done. In the end you got a very weak assurance.
 Now, it is different.

The Marquis Of Worcester while i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London in
1866 invented and constructed. per-
feet steam engine and had it publicly
exhibited the same year AT Vauxhall
in successful operation. Thirty-four
years later, in 1890, Dennis Papin add
ed the piston to the marquis discovery.
In 1893 Captain Savary devised and
built steam engine different in many
details from those made by Worcester
and Papin, and in 17O5 Newcomb, Cav
ley and Savary constructed their cele-
brated atmospheric engine, which was
complete in every detail. The above
array Of historical facts notwithstand-
ing. James Watt, who was not born
until sixty years after these great men
had given the steam engine to the
world, enjoys the distinction of being
the veritable inventor, originator and
author Of the most useful contrivance
Of the present day. Fulton, who lived
and worked in the early part of the
nineteenth century, is given the credit
Of being the man who demonstrated
that steam could be applied to naviga-
tion-this, too, in face Of the well
known historical fact that De Gary

Wouldn't Bs Fooled Again.

y t1t- +
A shepherd once, to prove the quick
ness Of his dog, which was lying be-
fore the fire, In the house where we
were talking, said to me in the middle
Of sentence concerning something
else, 'tpm thinking, sir. the COW is in
the potatoes" }
Though he purposely laid no stress
on these words and said them in a
quiet, unconcerned tone Of voice, the
dog, which appeared to be asleep, imme-
diately jumped up and, leaping through
the open window, scrambled up to the
turf roof Of the house, from which he
could see the potato field. He then,
not seeing the cow there, ran and look
ed into the barn where she was and,
finding that all was right, came back
to the house. ' .S~., ..
After short time the shepherd said
the same words again, and the dog re-
peated his lookout, but on the false
alarm being the third time given the
dog got up and, wagging his tail, look
ed his master In the face with so COM
ical an expression of Interrogation that
he could not help laughing aloud at
him, on which, with slight growl, he
laid himself down In his warm corner
with an offended air, as If determined
not to be made fool Of again.-Lon-

VALUE OF A TARIFF COMMITS
SION.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: One of
the good points in the tariff bill
which passed the senate is the Sec
ton which provides for the selection
of a board of tariff experts, to re-
port occasionally to congress, and
to advise congress and the president
in matters pertaining to the admins
tration of the tariff act. This pro-
vision was incorporated in the bill at
the suggestion of Mr.. Aldrich. 1t
was not in the house draft of the bill.
But as the republican press of the
country has given the proposition
strong support, it will probably be &C
eepted by the house conferees.
Several years have passed since the
National Asso. of Manufacturers
began urging the selection Of per-
manent, nonpartjsan board of broad
minded business men to make In
quiries into wages and prices of ma
teria1s at home and abroad, and
make reports to congress from time
to time on which. that; body could
base such changes in the schedules
rs would be necessary. The leading
Republican newspapers of the coua-
try gave the idea their support from
the beginning. The necessity for
such a board of capable, unbiased
men to make such an investigation
was SO apparent that it won the fav-
OF of many persons in congress i'm
mediately. Bills providing for q
commission were introduced in the
congress which expired Last March
~ Senators Beveridge,' LaFollette'
and others. They gave their hearty
support to the Aldrich proposition
although they believed and still be-
Heye, that it does not go far enough
to meet the necessities of the situa-
ton.
The provision in the senate. bill
stops far short of what the country
would like. It does not, in a man
datory way, provide for permanent
tariff commission, to give it's entire
time to the study of the labor and
general industrial situation in the
United States and the rest of the
world. In a general way it leaves
the number of the members of the
tariff board and their duties to the
president. It is a beginning, how
ever, and there is hope that in the
regular session next winter fur
Their step may be taken toward Great
ing the body which the business men
of the country ask. Never was the
necessity for such commission
made so obvious as it Yves during
the framing and the consideration
OF the Payne bilt Had there been
such a body at work for two or three
years before the meeting of the ex-
ira session, the work of Messrs.
Payne and Aldrich could have been
performed in three or four weeks in
stead of four months, and the finish
ed product would have been far more:
satisfactory to the American people
than this is likely to be.
