OUR GREAT STATE FAIR
 GROWING IN IMPORTANCE,
Interest in Arkansas State Fair to ke Hell al
 Hot Springs is BecommiHg Widespread.

The magnitude of the Arkan- sas State Fair. to be held at Hot Springs, October 1915, inclusive, has increased to the point where it is being spoken of by the lead ing papers in other states as one of the greatest state functions in the southwest.
 Ex-president Roosevelt will be received by a committee of notable men when he arrives to particl- pate in the opening of the big show, October 10. Among these will be the governors of Arkan- sas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten nesse, Missouri and Oklahoma. There will also be numerous con- gressmen and senators on the reception committee. In addi- tion to the above. the State Fair officials have invited Speaker Joe Cannon, one of the most talked of men in the United States to- day; Judge Harmon of Ohio, Dem ocratic idol and probable nominee for the presidency; Admiral Dewey, hero of Manila Bay; and Miss Helen Keller. the world famous blind girl, who, although deprived of the senses of sight, speech and hearing, has already acquired an education far beyond that of many noted graduates

 The Durant-D Dort Carriage Go. one of the most extensive manu- featuring concerns in the United States, headquarters at Flint, Mich. advise that they will ex- hibit the finest line of vehicles - seen in the southwest.

people living on the slopes of the volcano.
They were burned before they could es-
cape. Some volcanic eruptions are
marked by the venting Of vast volumes
OF gas which SURROGATE the victims. 1t
is supposed by some students that this
was the case with the eruption Of We
suvius which overwhelmed Pompeii. the
people being first suffocated and then
covered by fall of ashes and scoriae.
The eruption of Krakatoa, in the Straits
of Sunda, which occurred in August.
1883, presented still another effect in
volcanic destructiveness. This noun
tain literally blew its head off, with an
explosion that was heard for an i'm
mense distance. The disturbance created
series of sea waves which swept the
shores of Java and Sumatra, destroying
many villages and causing the loss Of
more than 5000 people.
The Hawaiian volcanoes, Mauna Loa,
Mauna Kea and kilauea, are notable
for their lava flows Indeed, the entire
group of islands Is ascribed to the lava
producing activities of series of vast
craters, the surfaces above the ocean
level comprising literally series of over
tapping lava flows. All three of the
active craters contribute occasionally to
the mass Of the Island of Hawaii. The
city of Hilo has several times been
threatened with destruction by flows
from Mauna Loa. Some interesting ira
dition are preserved in the folk lore Of
Hawaii in connection with these lava
flows. One of them. it is related, was
checked only when a pig was sacrificed
at the edge of the flow. with full cere-
monial rites Of the ancient worship Of
the natives. The Hawaiian lava flows,
indeed. are closely identified with the
history and myths of the islands.
In connection with the Etna eruption 1t
is again in order to note the singular
persistence with which people cling to
the slopes OF active volcanoes. Villages
have been destroyed within the danger
zone of Etna's crater times innumerable,
and yet, after each eruption. each lava
flow, each rain of hot ashes and each
blast of gas there is an instructive re-
turn to the places of former occupation.
.>ew villages are built upon the ruins of
the old. Nature in her most menacing
mood cannot drive men from their chosen
habitations.

moment a gun is put in the pocket the
carrier Of that weapon Is menaced WIN
the possibility Of losing his own lie IN
punishment for a murder wantonly COM
mitted under stress OF temper.
II should be the business OF the law
to render It so difficult for men to obtain
small arms that the number OF gun car
riers will be reduced to low minimum.
Only by penalizing the selling OF sucn
weapons without specific permission Is
sued by the court will the practice OF
personal secret arming be overcome. The
law against the carrying OF concealed
weapons is necessarily difficult OF en-
forcement. 1t is not the concealed
pistol that does the damage. but the
pistol that is suddenly brought into view
for use The only way to keep men from
drawing guns is to prevent them from
having them, not by threatening them
with punishment II, by some rare acct
dent the fact of the possession OF a
pistol becomes known, but by striking
at the source of supply and making every
gun purchaser go first to court and there
prove character and responsibility, and,
above all, a presumptive need Of a
weapon for purposes of sef-defense or
protection of property. Until such a
law is enacted tragedies will occur, be-
cause there is no means known to pre-
vent men from losing their tempers and
flying into passions and seeking to wreak
personal vengeance for real or imagined
wrongs The surest way is to make 1t
SO difficult for them to arm themselves
that when they do get uncontrollably
angry they will not have the means to
take life.

The Canal Exposition.

Logically Washington is the best con-
ceivable place for the great Panama ca
nal opening exposition, which. it is now
estimated, will be held in five years to
celebrate the completion of the waterway
between the oceans. This city's claim
for selection for this purpose does not TEST
upon commercial consideration. The port
of Washington has but the most remote
relationship to the business that will be
carried on by means of the Panama ca
nal But in the higher aspect of the case
the National Capital is pre-eminently Mt
ted for the international gathering con-
templated to give expression to the world
wide sense OF qualification that the 18TH
mus has at last been pierced.
From the beginning Of American interest
in the isthmian canal project Washington
has been the center of all the activities
leading eventually to the assumption of
the work by the United States. In the
days when the Nicaraguan route was
chiefly favored by American authorities
here were located the models and plans
fer tbe undertaking. The long struggle
over the question of route was fought
here. Nearly every strategic move in the
campaign to commit the United States to
the uCQertdklHS, WHICH Couiu DS hohOoSN
only on a COVE. nmental basis. was made
here When the history Of the canal prof.
ct is written il will be found that Wash
ington has figured in this enterprise as
conspicuously as the scene of the work
itself.
Numerous cities are in the field seeking
selection as the site of the projected ex-
position All of them are pitching their
claims in the key of commercial relation
ship between themselves and the isthmian
canal One city points to a certain ton
mage sure to be shipped from it's port
through the waterway. Another city cites
the ton miles that will be saved to its
commerce by the use of the canal Some
of the bidders for exposition honors are
claiming selection solely on the ground
that they will be immensely benefited by
the use of the waterway
Washington puts forth no such argu
ment in its own behalf II simply assert.
that only here could be held the truly in.

worldwide Importance and that only her,
could the canal exposition be made sig

From the New York World.

From the New York World
For an hour or two before he shot two
men to death in Pullman coach on the
Royal Blue limited Wednesday afternoon,
John H. Bethea conducted himself out
Iageously before his fellow-passengers.
He drank to excess. He was bubbling
with language profane and foul. He was
mischievous in his demeanor. Women in
the car were afraid Of him and men were
uneasy. Only when Bethea became a
murderer were the steps taken for his
subsection which might earlier have pre-
vented a triple tragedy. 1t was the old
story Of tolerance carried too far; of the
easy-going American temperament which
too often leads men to endure imposi-
ton and even danger rather than make
trouble for fellow-man. Bethea wus
q walking menace when he entered thu
car. He afforded early and ample excuse
for a message to the police ahead or for
an emergency hating OF the train. But
in fact he was not even deprived Of the
additional drinks which fed further his
fame of trouble. Three lives paid in
this one instance for complacent fooling
With a passenger hquor-mad. The tragedy
ought to impress upon railway authori-
tias and others who may be similarly
nIaced the advisability of dealing strictly
and promptly with disorder. There are
. vraat many more rights on board a
loaded passenger train than those which
a potential murderer may be left to
abuse.

In every way the minority Will be strong.

had he been defeated. By confession OF
even his opponents in his own party the
best parliamentarian on that side or the
chamber he should have poiled as large
a vote as Mr. Clark himself. But the
vote he did poll was a tribute TO MS ue-
serts, and an exhibition of the progress
the spirit of harmony has made IN the
democratic ranks. Some months ago-at
any time in the extra session-his candi-
6acy would have failed
Now we shall all see what there may ne

committee table at experienced democrats,
and each side will work for party advan-
faee Politics is the cry and the game
The House the House, who'll get the next
House? What takes place in the present
House between now and adjournment day
may go far to decide that momentous
question. Both sides must walk "arilS'
and the committee on rules Will Suggest
where feet should be planted.
Mr.. Sims of Tennessee met with the only
mishap of the evening. He found MS as

far in the direction of reform as ne

him of the power over all committees?
WHY not a committee on committees, and
thus reduce the powers Of the chair to
the consideration of points of order and
the putting of motions to adjourn? The
Tennessean is against two bites at

But Mr.. Sims does not allow for diff

and he does not want it reduced in size
or consequence 1t looks good to him just
as il is.
Still. as Mr. Sims Is at least logical and
has the courage of mis- logic. he may try.

proposition discussed in the congressional
contests when they begin.
