heibie a Colonel

It is now Colonel Oscar H. Hel. big, traffic manager for the Prescott and Northwestern Rail. road.
 Returning from Highland Sat urday afternoon George R. Brown, secretary of the Little Rock Board of Trade, gathered the stalwarts about him and held an informal business ses. sion, at which time various and sundry business matters were transacted, at the close of which o. H. Helbig was nominated for life membership in the Board of Trade. He was elected by a ris. ing vote and thereupOn George Russ Brown suggested that henceforth the MT. " shall be dropped from the name of the traffic manager and that Colo mel" shall take its place.
 And it was so ordered.
 Attention is called to the fact that the last man who was elect. ed an Arkansas colonel was Theodore Roosevelt, and the last before him was Theodore Price, the great cotton factor of New York.
 Colonel Helbig was yociferous' ly congratulated upon hs pro- motion from the ranks. .I
 In this connection it is stated that although special trains were operated over the Prescott Northwestern Railroad Saturday  for the Board of Trade not a regular train was late on US schedule nor was there single accident of any descripti on dur ing the entire day.
 During Saturday 20 passen' ger trains were operated oe' tween Tokio, the crossing wl!n the Memphis, Dallas X Gulf hall, road, and Highland, the site oi the Orchard Planting Company without interfering with !ii' regular tra fife, which was man. L tained on schedule. Little ho'h Democrat.

HIGH PRICES IN 1904.

There is nothing new under the
SIM" Proof of this is given every
time we discover what we think is
new issue and then find that we have
merely rediscovered an old one. Just
the other day some records. yellow
with a century's age, were unearthed
IN the Office of the clerk of courts at
butler. Pa. The records deal with a
crusade made in the year 1904 against
the "high cost of living" To the rec
ords are signed the names of 100 petit
toners who asked the court to "set a
stipulated price on provisions for man
and horse, and on liquors in the tav-
ems OF the country" The petition
reads:
It is the consensus Of opinion that
25 cents for meal Of victuals and IL
rents for half pint Of whisky is an
extortion, as whisky has been pu1-
chased for 40 cents gallon, pork
from 8 to cents pound and -four for
10 per hundredweight.
IT is much the same now The only
difference is that while we still kick
shout the price Of meal Of victuals'
we pay any price. for liquors without a
nurmur.

to give it's views of street cleaning as
follows:
The taxpayers and business men are

STOP "cUsSlNG" AND BEGIN
THINKING.

Gentlemen who insist on "cussing'
the tariff for the high cost of living
should take copy of the new tariff
law in one hand and a price list OF
groceries and meats in the other and
inform themselves. Maybe they Will
find what the philosophers call food
for thought. And it isn't a very high
price for that sort of food, either. 1t
is just little comparison.
For example, it will be noted that
the tariff rate has been increased OH
figs, pineapples, dates, hops spit
peas, grapes in barrels, buckwheat
flour-and all of these things either re-
main at the old prices or have been
reduced in cost to the consumer.
And we only see one chance for the
"cussing" gentleman to reply. He may
say he dosen't care for hops anyway.
On the other hand, the tariff has
been reduced on beef, bacon, mutton
veal, pork, ham, barley, green peas,
dried peas, cream, starch, cabbage
lard, cornmeal and sugar, among other
things-and on all these things 0:
nearly all of them. the prices have
gone up.

charge the tariff with being the cause
of it. For the tariff doesn't do it-as
the facts and figures show.
Living costs more and more because
more and more the people who pro-
duce have quit producing and have
gone into the consuming. class. AND
there is little hope Of the cost OF liv'
ing getting down to old-time prices IN
til the tide Of population turns from
the mills and the cities and the mil
lions now dependent on wages or
charity-turn to taking care of them
selves by raising what they need for
food, and a little for the market.
Then things will get down to the
