McGovern's Stand.
Golfers Weekly, in an editorial In
it's issue of July 23d, declares that,
with the issues clearly understood, the
Progressive Republicans would out
number the Standpat element almost
three to one. Francis &. McGovern.
Progressive candidate for governor
and zone of the original LaFollette
men," has summarized the situation
clearly and concisely. This is the
way he sums 1t all up In the platform
on which he is making his campaign:
"If Progressive Republicans are
united on primary election day, they
will win; If divided and discordant,
they may lose. Neither the county OPP
ton question nor any other matter
unrelated to this dominant and vital
economic issue should be permitted TO
split the party, or place In Jeopardy
all that years of hard work and sacrf-
five have accomplished"
That is the issue In this campaign:
Shall the wisconsin Idea" be con-
tinued In government? With Pro-
gressive candidate for governor, run
ming on a clean-cut unequivocal Pro
gressive platform, LaFoliette's re-elec-
ton would not be endangered. The
threat OF defeat on this sensitive per-
sonal liberty issue would be gone, and
the Republican party In wisconsin will
not have taken step backward, eth
er by defeat or by victory for Terry
ism.

GOVERNOR ON MULEBACK
With Auditor lobe Makes Inspection of State Farm-Made 1t Rain Black
 birds With Shotgun.

Little Rock, April 1S.-Astride of two mules, Gov. Donaghey and State Auditor lobe, made an ln- spection of every portion of the State farm Tuesday. It was back to nature with this pair, neither having been astride mule since the boyhuod days down on tue farm. and halliday of this mode of travel made the two state officials rather unsteady of foot when again they were forced to follow their usual mode of luco- motion. Both declare, however, that they have enjoyed nothing in years like they did the race indulged iu on Beck and Kit down lane on the farm. A ko- dak picture of the pair displays horsemauship which is unequaled in riding academy where grace aud ease is taught. Coy. Doua- ghey is also said to have shown himself quite marksman while on the farm. He shot three times at black bird sitting on a low limb, and the hamburger of spring never batted an eye. Gov. Dou- aghey accused the officers at the farm of supplying him with blank shells. He called for another shotgun, and as tue droves of black birds flew over him, made 1t rain black birds.

OPPOSITION FOR DAVIS
Governor Donaghey Almost Sure to Try for Senatorship Political Wire pulling for Next Campaign.

Little Rock, April 14.-Though primary election is so recent that the defeated ones have not ceased to feel the sting, plans are being formulated right now for the primaries two years hence and the indications are that will be the warmest campaign of modern times. At that time most coun- ties will be ready to elect a new set of officials, for in most coun- ties the present officials have served but the one term. There will be a number of state offices to elect, but the climax will come ia the gubernatorial and sena torial races. Two candidates for governor are most spoken of, At torney General Hal l.. Norwood and Congressman Joe P. Robin son. 1t is conceded that both of these will make the race, and when the Democratic State Con- vention is held here in June, other candidates are expected to an. nounce their intentions. Senator Davis is to have opposition, and strong opposition at that, is the undisputed claim of prominent political prognosticators.
 If Governor Donaghey declines to make the race, and powerful politicians of the state claim he cannot afford to turn back now, opposition may turn to Joe Robin son and take him out of the gub- ernatorial race to run for the United States senate. Though Governor Donaghey refuses to make any statement on the sena- torial question. there is no doubt here but that he will finally yield to the pressure being brought to bear on him and make the race for the Senate with K. F. Milwee again handling his campaign. The power of both men as campaigners is we'll known, and for that reason the prognosticators prophecy the hardest fought campaign two years hence in the history of the state.

PROPOSE SPECIAL
 UNIVERSITY TAX
George B. Cook Suggests Levy of l-2 Mill to Relieve States General Fund = Would End
 Lobbying.

Little Rock, April l4.-A plan for the relief of the state follow ing the expected deficit next Feb ruary, which, it is believed, would eliminate the necessity of cutting down the common school tax as proposed, was suggested yester- day by State Superintendent of Public Instruction, George B. Cook. Prof. Cook suggested that the legislature establish regular tax for the maintenance of the University of Arkansas and, as a result, between $l50,000 and $lS0,000 a year, which is taken out of the general revenue fund for the maintenance of the uni yersity, would be left in that fund to meet the increased expendi- lures. Governor Donaghey and State Auditor John K. lobe have estimated the increased expendi- lures from next year on to be about $15,000 a month, or $780, 900 per year.
 An additional state tax of one half mill would furnish sufficient revenue to maintain the state un- iversity, bringing in about $lS0, 900, according to general esti- mates now made.
 One of the arguments ln favor of the special tax for the state university Is that such move would mean the abolisbment of lobbying on the part Of people in- terested in the university appro- priation bills before the leg is- lature.
 When asked yesterday as to what he thought of Governor Donaghey's proposal to divert a part of the common school tax to the general revenue fund, Prof. Cook stated that he opposed the plan on the ground that 1t was cutting down revenue which is already small enough, and he suggested the special state tax for the university as one solution of the problem. He called attention to the fact that many of tine large state universities are now main tained by state tax.

STORES DAMAGED
 AT PINE BLUFF
Heaviest Rain Storm in Years Causes One Building to Collapse Streets Converted to Small Streams

 la that portion of the city known ss the "lake bed" about 100 houses, mostly occupied by negroes, are partly under water. The water in the flake bed" re sembles, in width, the Arkansas river.
 The principal streets in the business section of the city are partly under water. People who remained down town until eveu- ing in stores were obliged to take cabs to get home, and even de- livery wagons had to be pressed into service. At the corner of Third avenue and Main street negro carried people across the street on his back at 10 cents a head.

'DROUTH" AT TEXARKANA
After Fifteen Years Is Back in the Dry" Column Officials Promise
 Law Enforcement.

From the Texarkanian.
 At midnight fifteen years will be wiped off the state and Texar- kama will return from whence it emerged fifteen years ago and will once more be found in the "dry" column.
 Tho closing of the saloons is the result of a local option cleo ton held February 5, by which Bowie county was voted dry.
 The Arkansas side of Texar- kama has been without saloons since last Christmas, the saloons having been done away with through the success of "three- mule petition" legislation, which, after being carried 10 the supreme court, succeeded in putting all saloons out of business within a radius of three miles of the Miller county high school. Since then the thirsty Arkansawyers have been journeying to Texas toquench their thirst. The local option election, as the result of which Texarkana goes dry, was a mem- orable struggle, but the prohibit tionists won by majority of 400.
 Ii is said that the Texas bar bers are likely to lose a large pro- portion of their trade, which will revert to the Arkansas razor art ists, now that they are on au equal footing again.
 For tho past few weeks the sa- loon men have been disposing of their stock at greatly reduced prices, and a number of people are well stocked.
 Officials state that they will en- force the law 10 the letter.

WHY THEY FAIL
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause
 of Piles

Disagreeable treatment with oint- ments or suppositories usually fails to cure piles and cutting them off won't remove the cause. Such treatment only moderates the outside effects of ths disease and fails to remedy the in- side canse. The up-to-date doctors now use internal medicine, to free the circulation in the lower bowels, and so remove the disease.
