tn OOSEVELTS reception at Hot Springs, Ark yesterday
lTN showed no abatement of Western enthusiasm for the man
of destiny. The dispatches say that the ovation was not sur
passed in any State visited by Roosevelt. And Arkansas is a
Democratic State, too. The people of New York who are sitting
around waiting for a reaction against Roosevelt to turn up are
somewhat tired, but then it is a long lane that has no turning.

DIAMONDS IN ARKANSAS.

For the first time In the geologic
history OF North America, diamonds
have been found In the original mat.
rix- In Arkansas. Three companies
already are operating in the field
and more than seven hundred dia-
monds have been found. the largest
OF them weighing six and one-half
carats. While OF course many of
the stones are small and almost
worthless. that Ia q characteristic of
every diamond field. The larger
stones, however, are OF excellent quail
ity and cut into finished gems with
no more than the average loss in
weight. They range In color from
the purest blue-white to canary yell
low and brown.
Only the surface OF the diamond
field has been touched. and whether
untold riches lie beneath It only time
can tell. For the present the indica-
lions all favor the belief that the
mine will become an important fac
tor in the diamond supply OF the
United States.
That the Arkansas diamonds are
not the accidental relics OF a bygone
glacial age and that the field Is both
large and potentially immensely prof

ed. The most widely known dia-
mo0d experts In the United States

fully the equal OF the South African

Grading and Brick Laying.

Two new gangs of workmen
have started on the Missouri Pa.
cific improvements since last
week. The Walsh Co, have one
gang employed excavating a new
channel for the creek, and the
brick layers started to work the
first of the week. The excavat-
ing is being done with the wheel
scrapers, big mules and colored
help. BrOnchO Bill is boss of
the job and is getting along with
the work in good shape. The
start was made just west of Lad
enberger'S house and the dirt is
being dumped in the present bed
OF the creek. A bunch of tents
are provided for the employees.
II may be possible that the steam
shovel will be used later in the
excavating the 10000 yards that
Is to be taken out. 1t is exepct-
ed that from four to five weeks
will be required to do the Job.
The same company has the con-
tract to do all the filling, and
the dirt trains will be started on
the Bend branch before long.
Eight brick layers started work
the first of the week and ten
more went on yesterday noon.
The brick are being laid in ce-
ment mortar and heavy walls are
being laid. The window and the
door frames have been received.
besides some structural steel and
other material used in making
modern fire-prOOf buildings.
The excavating for the smoke
stack has been completed, and
soon the chimney builders will be
at work. Material is being receiv-
ed every day, and lots more men
would be employed if they would
only show up.-Dispatch.

The Real Tariff Issne.

Ihe consuming public can care
but little about President Taft s
Tariff Board and what it dis
covers either abroad or here. The
members Of the board are. no
doubt, having the best time in
their lives and living in luxury
at the best hotels in the capitals
OF foreign nations with Uncle Sar
as the liberal paymaSter. What
the American people would ike
to know is whether or not there
Is any prospect Of a decrease in
the present high cost of living.
Since "the best tariff bill" was
passed in August, 1909, prices on
many articles have considerably
advanced which makes the pur-
chasing price Of the dollar less
than it was under the Dmgley
law.
What the voters have to decide
when they vote for candidates for
the National House OF Representa-
tives and for state representatives
who will elect United States Sen
atOrs is, which party candidate
will vote for real tariff revision?
The Republican politicians, even
the Insurgents, declare that they
are welded to the protective pol
icy, which artificially adds to
the price Of nearly all we buy be-
cause it prevents competition
from abroad. The bOasted home
competition between manufacture
ers has nearly vanished in cOnse-
quence of the riff-fostered COM
bineS and trusts, which it is evi-
dent, are banded together in re-
Straint of trade.
The Democrats are pledged to
reduce the tariff to the revenue
producing point, which, while it
will not perhaps be low enough
t. greatly increase imports, will
force the manufacturers and the
trusts and the combines to reduce
the price Of their products fOr
fear of losing part of their trade
to foreign competitors. These two
propositions are the whole tariff
issue as far as the American con
Sumer is concerned, unless he
wants to go into the details Of
the tariff tax on the 1000 article!
NOR or leSS-which is such a
complicated matter that even the
experts disagree upon it.
If the voters of the United
States had not for so many years
submitted to be plundered by tn,
Republican tariffs, each higher
than the former law, one would
} think that it would be certain
ty how they would vote on thi!
5 paramount issue. But the part!
spirit of the Republicans is weak
, ening under the insurgent blows
J. and the time for real reform i
surely at hand, and confidence il
< Democratic policies is CROWN,

we also demand that all ma
chinery which must be collective
ly used, such as that of mines,
raildOadS, telegraphs, telephones,
mills fOundries, factories, etc, be
collectively owned and operated,
not for profit, but for the purpose
of supplying human needs in the
most perfect manner possible.
"Our sole object in making the
above demands is to extend to
each and all the opportunity to
earn, own, use and enjoy any
form of property which the indi-
vidual or the family can use in
order that every person may be
enabled to develop his individual
ity to the utmost limit of his
mental and physical endOwments.
"In order that the above pro-
gram may be carried out without
danger through such graft and
dishonesty, as curse our present
system.
"We demand the initiative, or
the power by the people to pro-
pose any law or change which
they may desire.
"The referendum, or the right
by the people to sanction or veto
any law or enactment, thereby
placing it beyond the power Of
any official or court to veto or
destroy.
"The right of recall, or the pow
er of the people to remove from
position any individual who fails
tc do their bidding.
"By carrying into effect the
foregoing demands and provisions
we propose to eliminate profit, in
tereSt and rent, the means by
which the wealth of the workers
has been absorbed in the past, as
now, by the idle and the vicious,
by which uncounted wealth has
been acquired by the few, and
dire poverty has been suffered by
the many; by which idlers have
lived lives of uSelesSness and mil
lions have been driven to debauch-
cry and crime.
And while working to bring
into effect a more just and en-
lightened system, we demand:
"Free text books to be fur
nished in all public schools, the
same to be printed by the state,
Equal suffrage for all adult
men and women.
Equal pay for equal service
for both men and women.
"All land sold for taxes shall
be purchased by the state.
Municipalities shall be empOw
cred to acquire and conduct all
municipal utilities desired by thei
residents.
Nonresident landlords and all
corporations shall be required to-
assess their property for taxation,
the state reServing the right TO
take over such property at its
assessed value plus III per cent.
"The entire earnings of the
Republican and Democratic in
mates of the state penitentiary
shall be turned over to their fam
lilies, the expense of maintaining
these Institutions beng born by
the taxpayers while they vote to
maintain a system which depriv-
es millions of employment, and
thereby forces them into crime.
And to the end that we. may
speedily carry into effect the pro-
gram above, we invite the earnest
cooperation and support of all
who wish to reward industry,
abolish graft, and promote the
general welfare of all worthy cit
