To Develop Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, March a.
Amid a large and comprehensive dis
play of the agricultural products Of
the state, delegates from every part
of Arkansas will discuss during the
three days beginning tomorrow the
various problems relating to the ag-
ricultural development of this Sec
tfon. 1t will be the first annual con-
vention of the Arkansas Land Con-
gress. Since the call was issued for
the gathering its scope has broadened
until every conceivable phase Of the
industrial and agricultural develop
ment Of the state has been included
and it will provide probably the most
exhaustive treatement of those prob
lens ever presented in the South
west. The number of delegates al
ready arrived in the city assures a
large and representative attendance.
Representatives of the Agricultural
Department at Washington, good
roads experts, forestry supervisors,
and the heads of agricultural colleges
'and experiment stations will be in
cluded among the speakers.
The primary object Of the congress
is to perfect a permanent organiza-
ton which shall Systematically ad-
vertise the resources and advantages
Of the state and take other steps to
attract desirable immigrants. Arkan-
sas lands have attracted good many
settlers during the past year. The
majority of the settlers from the
North have met with success. The
greater part of the State is healthy
and it's lands are fertile The insti-
tuition of rice culture has caused a
large increase in the acreage under
cultivation. Both the rice and cotton
crops were good last year.
Agricultural lands in all parts OF
the state are still very cheap. This
is due first to large holdings, and
secondly, to a lack Of interest in
farming on the part of many Of the
owners. Almost any product Of the
soil can be successfully grown in the
state.

A Straight Democratic Ticket.

Last Saturday night, in response to a call of the Chairman of the Demo- cratic Committee, between sixty and seventy Democrats ot Nogales Precinct No l met in the court room at the court house and nominated strong straight Democratic ticket to present to the taxpay CTS of Nogales at the city election to be held on Monday. May 23rd, 1910.
 The meeting was purely Democratic in every respect, all the candidates being nominated by ballot, without any preliminary caucus or dark deep lad scheme to give aspirants for nonii nations the double cross
 w F. Overton presided over the meeting in his usual pleasing, fair and impartial manner, and Attorney John Patton acted as secretary.
 The first business before the meet log was the nomina tion of seven can didates for the office of city council, the follow wing gentlemen being nomi mated: George s. Marsh. pr. A. H. Noon, w Overton, Otto H. Herold George A Fielder Ferd Van Mourick and C. A. Watkins.
 In the race for the nomination oi city marshal there were four can didates, Tom Hamilton, Tom Wylie, Charley Lopez and w. " Ooughlin The first ballot resulted in tie be tween Wylio and Ooughlin and Ham ilton and Lopez dropped out of the contest. On the second ballot Cough lin was an easy winner.
 In the race for city clerk, A Dum- h,uld defeated Attornav John Patton by one vote.
 The name of Charley Lopez and A. l. Peck were presented for street com missioner, MT. Peck's Democratic friends gave him a very compliment tary vote, but Lopez received the nomin ation.

MT. I. G. King, of this city, says none of us know what valuable wealth producing resources lie within our gates-north, south, east and west.
 Not only Is the desert made to blossom as the rose. through mod ern science. but the hitherto waste lands are being converted into agri- cultural fields great in production, and the hills and mountains are made to give up riches undrea med of by man.
 The shrubs, thorns and brarnb les are also being made into rub Der tires for automobiles and it is said to be the best ada pted for such use of any rubber yet discovered
 Now, MT. King says, even the most abundant and tortuous varity of cactus, found all around us, has been successfully. experimented with, by him. and made to give up it's wealth of virgin silk, as is proven by beautiful speci mems now on exhibition both in the raw and manufactured designs developed into the most delicate fabrics and beautiful aigretts for the millinery trade, dyed in brilliant colors or made up in pure white from the natural fiber.
 No beautiful bird has suffered death or loss of plumage to add such coveted algretts to trimmings upon our ladies' hats or orna- ment for the hair dressing, while in every feature and design noth- ing can appear more appropriate or graceful than is developed from this ugly cactus plant.
 The plant is very abundant here and in nearly all semItropical and tropical countries, and therefore destined to stand in the future among the most valuable resources for the manufactures for which it is adapted.
 The new method for extracting the silk fiber from the cactus, for the time being IS being withheld as secret by the discoverer, Mir. King, who assures us that the process is both rapid and inexpensive, re- quirIng only one or two hours to bring the crude to state in which the pulp may be washed away leaving the threads purely white, and as no acids or injurious chcmi- injury whatever.
 Mir King has had many years experience in the silk business, and fully appreciates the valus of his recent discovery.

ALDERMAN CLARK IS RIGHT.

Alderman Clark may seem little
vehement in his oratory, but he is
undoubtedly right in his purpose. TIE
evils Of the reckless driving of autos
are apparent to all. Good fortune
has saved Americas from having one
/ Of its people killed on its streets by
/ a fast or carelessly driven car. But
good fortune is not likely to always
continue.
| The rapid increase in the number Of
machines running around the city
more than ever necessitates a yigor-
Gus enforcement Of the law as 10
speedy or otherwise careless driving.
Boys and girls OF tender years, as well
as men and women Of more mature
( judgment, unquestfonably turn cor
7 ners in a somewhat reckless fashion
and on some streets let their motors
loose without regard to the speed
limit established by ordinance. Two
or three people have been slightly
hurt, others have had narrow escapes.
Il is only a matter of time before
a new mound out in Oak Grove Gene
terry VIII tell the story Of some one
unnecessarily slain.
There is no excuse for carelessness
in driving autos around the streets
Of Americas It is not tolerated in
other cities. It should not be toler-
ated here. In many cities there are
rigidly enforced laws as to age and
qualifications of those entrusted with
the use Of cars. Children are abso-
lutely prohibited from driving them
/ and those who display a reckless dis
regard Of the persons and lives OF
others are punished, and if they con-
tinue on such a course prohibited from
using the streets.
The automobile is great institu-
ton II is a pleasure to see SO many
in use here, 10 note the pleasure the
people derive from them. Tide great
majority of. their owners. and users
I are reasonably careful about the rights
of the public But there is a sufficient
number Of those who are careless OF
: reckless to justify Alderman Clark's
denunciations
The alderman is right. 1t is up to
the police to catch some of the Law
v.olators. The public will certainly
| endorse their doing so.

TEDDY LEFT 4 TUMULT BEHIND
HIM.

The apparently irresistible inclina-
ton of Roosevelt to butt in seems
to have created a very embarrassing
situation for the English officials in
Egypt. The Ma tonalist sentiment in
that country has been growing in
strength and has required very deli
cate handling on the part of those
intrusted with the maintenance of the
suzerainty of England in the country
of tie Pharoahs Along comes the
former American president, and like
the proverbia1 bull in the china shop
creates havoc with a too free express
sion of views antagonistic to the am
billions Of the leaders of the native
population. It is easily to be seen
that the irritating effects of his de-
nunciations Of the Nationalists and
Constitutionalists must continue In
asmueh as it was really none Of Roose-
velts business the world at large is
Still opening its eyes and wondering
why he saw fit to inject his views into
situation that approaches a crisis.
The English officials are said to have
breathed a great sigh of relief when
the American took his departure One
wonders now what course Teddy viii
pursue in other countries. VIII he
tell the Pope that he ought to change
his policies, or will he condemn the
King of Italy for not establishing
more cordial relations with the Vati-
can? When he gets to Berlin, where
the working men are almost ready to
resort to arms in an effort to extend
the franchise rights to the masses, win
he take up cudgels against them 3r
for them? VIII he tell them they are
not yet prepared for more democratic
institutions-although the negroes Of
the South have manhood suffrage
and that they must remember, as he
told tie Egyptian Nationalist, that It
takes something more than paper
constitution to fit men for self-govern-
ment? He is just as likely to do It
as not.
1t will be more than ever interest
ing now to watch the tour of Roose-
welt. No one can tell when he will
break loose again. Perhaps there viii
be more countries than one where
the controlling elements will wipe the
perspirat.on from their buows and
utters feryent thanks to heaven when
the strenuous Teddy has left for other
shores.

MARRIAGES OF NEGROES AND
WHITES IN THE NORTH.

Attention is called in an article In
the current number of Pearson's Mag
azine to the rapid increase in the num-
Der of marriages of negroes and whites
in the North, and particularly in the
New England states. In Maine over
one half of the colored population is
made up of muIattoes, in Massachus-
etts over one third, and in other states
the number of mixed breeds shows an
equally astonishing proportion. The
investigator discussing the statistics
that are available, declares that "as
one passes from the great cotton
growing states toward the North there
is a marked increase Of racial fusion. "
One thing that probably largely con
tributes to this condition in the North,
although the writer in Parsons does
not refer to it, is the vast influx of
forefg ners into that section New Eng
land, for instance, has been fairly
swamped by the thrush from Europe.
The native population of the old stock
is sadly in the minority there now. The
incoming hordes have none of the
strong antipathies toward fusion
with the negroes that is apt to mark
the old American stock, with few ex-
ceptions, throughout the country.
Probably if the exact facts could be
obtained it would be found that the
great bulk of marriages between the
races are of white men and women OF
foreign birth, or but one generation
removed from foreign birth.
The tendency of such people to mar
ny negroes, though, should be checked
and prevented by law throughout the
country. Because the views Of such
people are perverted is no reason why
the country should tolerate such a
condition. The stand taken in the
South against men Of low instincts,
depraved whites, marrying negroes, is
the stand that the entire country
should, and eventually will, take.
And going beyond this fusion of the
races in the North, there is hardly any
doubt that one of the strong reasons
that govern the South in opposing any
vast food Of foreign immigration is
this very fear of a general mixture OF
the incoming whites and the negroes,
seriously complicating the race trouble
and breaking down the purity OF the
races in this section. And Judging
from conditions elsewhere the fear is
not an idle one.

EXTEND THE CITY'S SANITARY
DISTRICT.

Attention has been called to the fact
that some slaughter pens are located
outside of ttle city bounds, but suffi-
ciently close to be offensive to resi-
dents of the city if they are not prop
erly kept.
The Health officer is yigilant in his
attention to such places and, whether
really possessed of the legal power
or not, has succeeded in the past in
requiring them to be kept in a SAM
tary condition.
But if he has not got the legal au-
tbority to compel proper degree of
attention to sanitary conditions on the
verge of the city he should be grant
ed It.
Other cities have sanitary iurisdic>
ton for a half mile to two or three
miles beyond their boundaries. This
is a wise provision.
If such a power has not been con-
ferred upon the city of Americas it
can easily be secured by legislative
enactment. At the coming session of
the General Assembly it will be an
easy matter TO give to tie health au-
thorities of the city ample jurisdiction
over the territory within a mile Of
the city limits. Then there will be
no question of heir power to abate
nuisances, if any should exist.
Other cities have such a power.
Why should not Americas get it, if it
does not already possess 1t?
