THEY DUB US "A KNOCKER"

The reckless extravaganza of
our City Dads in permitting the
old tank to crash to the ground
when it might have been lowered,
and saved several hundreds of dol
lars, is only another proof of their
incompetence or gross negligence,
or both. They seem to have been
simply waiting for something to
happen to relieve them from the
necessity of acting, while every
body wondered why they were so
slow 20 wake up, get busy, take the
tank down and save the expense.
If the City Dads didn't know
how otherwise to spend the city's
surplus cash and the S21, 400
they've levied for running expen-
ses the coming year they might
have squandered a few paltry dol
lars building street crossings
where they have ordered side
walks. We need tie sidewalks all
right but we think there are little
gaps here and there that might
have been filled up and it would
look better for them, and the peo-
pie would feel much better about
it. Fill in the gaps and make
street crossings and do something
right.
They call us a kicker for prompt
ing and a knocker for calling at
tention to their blunders.
Some folks say we are a knocker!
That with pencil in our hand
We can beat IL kniCSerbocker
Raising dust from out the sand.
That our pencil sounds like thunder,
When our language wears a rown-
To those who don't get from under
When the water tank comes down.
There was plenty time we ponder,
For our Dads" who run this town
To have water stored up yonder
And to take the old tank down.
They dont take to kind advising,
When suggested for all good,
And they wait fora surprising
Like the old tanks Splintered wood.
Should we mince at speaking plainly,
Or apologies rehash!
Just to make our Dads" feel vainly,
After having such a crash?
IF they knew the peoples feeling
And went on with blindly stride,
While the old tank was a reeiing,
Humbled then should be their pride.
Yes, the work should all been faster"
"But the obstacles" we hear,
Brought delay and this disaster
Yet they wasted all last year.
You don't now n thing about it!
If with them you don't agree
They have acknowledgements without it,
They assume to you and ne.
And If one should be complaining
After all this reckless waste
You're IL knocker UNDERSTANDING;
You must dance TO suit their taste.

JAPAN'S BENEvO-
LENT ASSIMILATION

In annexing Korea-a thing
which she has contemplated for
about four hundred years, Japan
says:
Notwithstanding the earnest
and laborious work of reforms
in the administration of Korea,
in which the governments of ia
pan have been engaged for more
than four years since the con-
clusion of the agreement of 1905,
the existing system of govern
ment in that country has not
proved entirely equal to the duty
of preserving public order and
tranquility and, in addition, the
spirit of suspicion and misgivlng
dominates the whole peninsula
In order to maintain peace
and stability in Korea, to pro-
mote the prosperity and welfare
cf the Koreans, and at the same
time to insure the safety and re
pose of the foreign residents, it
has been made abundantly clear
thrt fundamentrl changes in the
actual regime of government are
absolutely essential. The gov
ernments Of Japan and Korea,
being convinced of the urgent
necessity of introducing reforms
responsive to the requirements
of the situation and of furnish
ing sufficient guarantee for the
future have. with the approval
of his majesty, the emperor Of
Japan and his majesty, the en-
peror of Korea, concluded with
their respective plenipotentiaries
a treaty providing for the COM
plete annexation of Korea, to the
empire of Japan.
There may be few slight
verbal differences. but the excuse
is in substance, the same that
has been given by other strong
nations when they have gobbled
up weaker ones. 1t would have
been shorter to say I'VE want
ed Korea an d took her, but to
show that they understood the
language of diplomacy the Jap.

cumlocution. -Comrnoner.

serted Kansas to cast hss let IN
Arkansas, is again before the

Springs, of which she is chief
promoter, was granted a charter

The influence of Mrs. Natio n

intention of the work of the COL
lege. In accordance with her
assertion that she is working
for the general uplift of hunani-
ty. irrespective of classes or re-
ligions, she is said to have had
incorporated into the articles

.CHAS. c. REID WILL
LEAVE ARKANSAS

Morrilton, Sept. 9.-This an
nouncement that Hon. c. C. Reid
of this city will soon remove to
Tulsa, Okla, will be received
with genuine regret by his
friends throughout Arkansas.
Some of his friends know that a
very attractive offer has been
made Mr.. Reid to enter a law
firm in Tulsr. perhaps the ablest
and most prominent in that part
of the State, and he will go in
as an equal partner with the two
gentlemen now composing the
firm. This firm has an extensive
practice and the offer from the
material side is a most advanta-
geous one.
Mr.. Reid has given this matter
most careful and deliberate con-
sideratiyn, an though he is very
reluctant to leave the State of
his birth, has finally decided to
cast his fortunes with the new
State of Oklahoma. He will
not remove from this Stste until
March, as his term of office as
member of Congress from this,
the Fifth, district will not expire
until March A, 1911, and he will
serve out his term before NOV
ing.
Charles Chester Reid is one of
the most distinguished citizens
of Arkansas, having been before
the public for many years. He
has been a member Of Congress
since 1893, and on all occasions
has proven himself to be a man
of great ability and high charac-
ter. His many friends consider
him the ablest representative
Arkansas has in either house of
Congress, and he has been urged
by many to run for Governor at
the next election-most favor
able results being optimistically
promised.
The removal of such a man as
Mr.. Reid from the State is
nothing short of a public calami-
ty, the greatest loss. of course,
being to his Morrilton and Con-
way County friends, but wher-
ever he is known there will be
universal regret that he is to
leave the State. He is still a
young man, being about 40years
old, and a bright future awaits
him in Oklahoma, SO there are
none to censure him but MANY
to wish him the fullest measure
of prosperity in his new loca-
ton

PATTERSON QUITS
GOVERNORS RACE

Nashville, TENN, Sept. !9.~v.
In a formal statement Malcolm
r. Patterson tonight withdrew
from the race for governor.
Il can best serve my party
and State says Patterson. "by
doing what my enemies have SO
persistently demanded. | there
fore return my nomination to
the Democratic party and | mott
fly the independent Democratic
committee that am no longer a
candidate for governor. | hope
that with harmonious action an
other candidate wholly unobjec-
tionable may be named and such
platform adopted as will insure
party CO ,operrtion and success.
1T would be an unmixed evil
and a reproach to Tennessee for
the Republican party to get con-
troll of::our state government and
this is especially true at this
time when the country is aroused
and the battle is on between
special interests and popular
rights.
1T IS scarcely believeable that
a discredited Republican presi-
dent should attempt to control
the policies of a Democratic State
or that any man calling himself
a Democrat should lend his dis
honorable aid to its consumma
tion."
The governors statement
created the greatest surprise as
he said only recently that he
would be found fighting to the
last ditch.

that kind of bell on, begun to
look for it. He finally found
that the bell was on a buzzard.
1t was about the size of a sheep
bell. The bird flew away and
he was unable to find out any
cause of the bell being on it.

A DELAYED RIGHTEOUSNESS.

After twelve years in the ooze of Ha-
vana harbor the sunken Maine is to
raised and brought nome. Perhaps we
snail now know the mystery of the eX-
piosior which sent the Inflated vessel
to the bottom with its entombed sailors
and brought on 4 wal which aange
the map OF two hemispheres. 1t is time
the bill passed. 1t would have been
passed long ago had we not feared to
find what we do not wish to find, that
the wreck was perhaps a calamity n
not an assassination. 1t was not a
noble reason and the country will be
glad that the truth is to be revealed,
if the evidence exists to make definite
the cause whatever it may have been.
The bleached and whitened bones
which lie awash within the steel shell
of what once was a battleship belong
in American soil. They are as much
to American hearts and in American
history as those of Paul Jones or Law
ton for they died in their duty as
Americans under the flag n in its de-
Tense. Every patriotic American will
rejoice in and approve the bill which
congress passed yesterday.
Bring the men and the Die ship home.
Bury the bones of the crew in one
grave and over it build a monument
o the twisted steel which was their
vessel and their tomb. Let it stand In
the national capital where the nation
may point with pride and satisfaction
to the evidence that America never
forgets those who uphold her honor n
her power and keep the flag aloft
around the world.

It is easy to understand why the pro-
hibitionists in state convention at Des
Moines declared for suffrage.
They believe it would help their cause,
that women generally are against the
saloon. Why they declared for a grad
uated income tax is also easily under
stood. Prohibitionists are reformers
by instinct. Practical or Impractical,
they take more interest in economic
questions, and especially in reforms,
than the average citizen and have more
faith in the power OF the government
to improve society by means of stat
utes. The prohibitionists are readers
of sober literature dealing with rene
dies for reforms in government and So
ciety, and every man of this class with
out a large income Of his own, would
view with sympathetic interest an ef-
fort by the general government to make
a graduated income tax work.
Moreover the prohibitionists are pol
i~ticians. Their conventions are run by
men who have had a hand in politics
at home and are led by habit to con-
struct platforms some planks of which
have no necessary relation to the main
object in view, but are intended to win
the support Of members Of the old part
les. There never was a convention
dominated by politicians which could
be induced to limit its attention to the
one principle forming the basis of CO.
hesion. .zA

often vicious men who pose as religious

communities have had experience Of
these. Such men degrade, not elevate.
If the Catholic church begins a cam

broaden as its practical and courageous

Topics of the Times

The total cost Of the construction Of
600, 600 paid to the French company
and the republic of Panama, is now
estimated at s3T5.201, 900. This also
includes the $20,059,00O necessary to
carry out all the sanitation plans, while
s7.3s2,00O will cover the cost of civil
administration. The Panama appro-
priation was the only n which es-
capped the pruning knife in the policy OF
r~etrenchment pursued by the present
congress. 1t is hoped the price of hogs

Don't try to tell anyone o have a

what he thinks of things at home. That
gag is worn out.
In the Ballinger ease inquiry they
