we are sincerely thankful for the
prompt response which we have had
from very large number of our sub
scrlbers to the statements of supscrip-
ton accounts which we have sent out.
Many old friends who have hitherto
been little behind, have not only
paid up all arrearages, but have paid
for 1910 in advance, which is the rule
of our business. Besides paving their
accounts, many have written US very
Kind and some tlatterlng letters, tell
ing Of how ey"could not keep house
without the dear old Times, . and Of
how they look forward with pleasure
each week to get the dear old Times, -
all closing with sincere good wishes
for ear health, happiness and prosper
/ lily during 1910 and future years.
y lso large number who have always
paid IN advance have renewed their
subscription for 1910, scores of home
folks being among the number. We
are very proud OF all Of their express
siQns and acts of confidence in this
paper, and we viii redoube our efforts
to improve the paper whenever pos
sible, and always deserve this great
prize the friendship of those who

was in the city Tuesday to see us
about putting one of his Company's
machines in eur office. This machine
does the work OF three men, costs $500
and will pay for itself in a few years,
provided there is work for it TO do.
We feel that We are rapidly coming to
the period when we shall have to
have a machine, but do not now feel
that we would be justified in making
the investment, for several reasons,
one OF which is that too much OF the
printing for this city is done abroad
IL the corporations, especially of this
city and all the merchants, LAWYERS.
officials and others would have all of
their work done here, then We would
feel justified in putting in one or more
machines, and could then more eduita-
bly, compete with the larger cities on
kinds OF commercial and law printing.
We do So now, but it is hand work
against machine work, and our reye-
nues suffer as consequence. The
paper is untiringin its efforts To build
up its home town. bat As soon as a
good big corporation is landed, the
paper IS forgotten. and away goes the
orders for its stationery. We solicit

FOR CONGRESS-.

1t is with considerable pleasure that
we present the authorized announce
ment OF Hon. r. Il. Macon, Of Phillips
county, as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for the Office of Con-
gresham from this. The First Con-
greSsional District Of Arkansas, sub
iect 10 the action OF the primary cleo
tion which is scheduled 10 take place
on the last "Wednesday in March.
Hon. r. Il. Macon's record in Con-
gress speaks fer itself and he is so
we'll known in this and other counties
composing the district that it seems
entirely u he Cssary for US TO under
take TO add anything TO his reputation.
lie is able, painstaking, tireless in
his efforts for democratic legislation
and that which will be of direct bene-
lit TO his constituents. He is true to
his friends and always leaves nothing
undone when he can serve them, at
home or either in the Congress of the
United States. lie is, in fact, true
representative Of the people. and is
never more delighted than when he is
serving their best interests. He is a
man OF the people, and keeps in close
touch with the needs OF his district
He Is always champion Of their
rights, aud is for this reason in favor
OF the primary election plan Of nomin-
ating candidates, and opposed 10 the
convention plan rs uHdemocratic.
lie has always, 80 far as we can re-
member and believe, been in favor of
| the primary election Il las been
charged against him that lie has at
some timein the past lad 4 campaign
speech printed at the expense Of the
government-the people We 10 not
believe that lie ever did anything of
the kind. and we are almost positive
that the government is too wise to al
low any such proceeding. even If he or
any other representative were so dis
posed. The Government is not in the
campaign speech printing business,
and prints only such matter as is
authorized by Congress.
Bruce Macon has made d good, fear
less, conscientious representative, and
stands upon his record with nothing
to be ashamed of, everything to be
proud Of and is asking the endorse
ment of his official acts from the peo-
pie whom he serves. He will appre-
eiats your vote and support, and The
Times commends him TO its friends as
entirely and greatly deserving of their
confidence and support.
The First Congressional District is
well represented, and you will not mis-
take III returning Hon. Il. g. Macon to
the position which he now so ably and
conscientiously fills.

the money received for the "Mur-
phys" of 1909 was put to that use
there would still remain S $4,000
which sum could be used in erect
ing anew executive mansion, a
structure badly needed, and com
pletely furnish it.
. How many city people have ever
heard of "green" potatoes, and yet
that is the shape thousands of
bushels leave the state in, first for
the markets of the North, East and
West, and finally for the "new po-
tato" sections of the South. While
not exactly of the color mentioned
they are in the "green" stage be-
ing young, fresh and tender. They
are rushed out from the Derrick
dis ricts" OF Missouri in fast trains
as sperishable fruit" and when they
reach their faraway destination, sell
for fancy price.
The Marshall republican., 1910-11-04

too-instead of working three
months and hunting for work the
other nine months or trying to
collect his salary the rest of the
year.
We believe though that a work
man can Live within rs per cent
as cheap now as he did Is years
ago if he will deny himself now as
he did them. Outside Of meats and
some produce, most of the neces-
stiles for the poor man have not
increased more than 25 per cent
rent, clothing, reading matter, in
surance, railroad fare, DOCTORS bills
lodge dues, furniture, etc. On the
other hand the laboring man lives
better than ever before and of
course that costs more-and why
shouldn't he live better If he a
afford it. The farmer does like
wise and SO does the professional
man, who all prosper by the farm
er's prosperity.
We are receiving only $1.00 per
year for the Republican, the same
as Is years ago, in spite of the
double cost of producing it Strange
isn't it? We can do it because we
usually receive the dollar prompt
ly now, have amuch larger pat
ronage and more advertising. Just
plain everyday fairness-live and
let live.
The Marshall republican., 1910-11-04

We would not be at all surpris-
ed if the Republicans would be
"snowed under" in the cities this
year. The city man is being told
persistently, and truthfully too
that his meat, bread, ETC., costs
about double what it did ten years
ago and he is very likely to hook
at it in near sighted way and
vote for cheaper living, regardless
of the fact that 1T may mean dis
aster as well. We can hardly
blame some of u city friends who
are not producers for wanting a
lower market, but how saline
county farmer figures out any
advantage In alower market we
can not understand.
The Marshall republican., 1910-11-04

TdIbcbs
In the first place the Republican
must plead guilty to the fact that
If high prices are caused by the
tariff, which we admit, then the
high cost Of living is also largely
due to the tariff. The farmer now
receives about double what he got
is years ago for his products. His
wants n comparatively few that
require cash outlay so that he, OF
all men, ought not to complain il
he is required to pay agood price
for what he needs-he can afford
it now and has no right to be-
grudge his fellow-man of a decent
living.
II wages have increased as he
says, only 25 per cent, the farmer
is again the gamer because he
pays proportionately less for his
help. The workman, on the other
hand 10 also the gamer as under
prosperous times as we now have
he can work the year around at
good wayes-and get his salary

more than half sold their editorial
columns during this campaign for

we give to every man his right to

The Marshall republican., 1910-11-04

Since that time gold has become
more plentiful money has become
cheaper and the per capita circu-
lation has greatly increased, result
is the very conditions Democrats
sought-more money, higher prices
and higher wages. Now they
charge high prices to the Repub-
lican tariff, and want to rob the
farmers OF the very thing they
promised to give them in 1895. A
Democratic politician is never
certain about what the people
ought to have but is always certain
about what he wants-a public Of
flee.
The Marshall republican., 1910-11-04

The Republican state committee
has furnished us four pages of
ready-print this week. The mat
ter on them is carefully gotten up
and we believe is reliable in evry
sense. You have only flew days
to study political conditions. Do
it now, then cast your vote in
telligently and on Nov. 9th go to
work feeling that you did your
duty as a loyal citizen and forget
your politics in resuming your
every day vocation.
