ALL PARTS OF THE STATE
ARE BOOSTING hin.

Many friends of our splendid
representative are boosting him
for Speaker of the next house.
Under the present understand
ing and long established custom
it is Livingston County's time
next year to send the represen-
tative, but the Committee of our
should meet at once and amend
that very foolish rule by giving
to each county the representa-
tive two terms in succession, so
as to carry out the good old DEM
ocratic idea of giving an accept
able officer an Endorsement.
One term only. in the legisla-
ture does not give a man a
chance to do anything and there
IS no use to try, to become
Speaker of the House by forming
alliances and ties at this term for
the next term. because he al
ready knows that under the
present very impractical custom.
he cannot go back to the next
session. There is no chance for
a man to tell whether his course
has been acceptable to the peo-
pie or not. as he is prohibited
from asking an Endorsement,
however meritorious his conduct
may have been.
Another instance of the i'm
practical method is that of Lyon
and Marshall counties, who prac
tice the same rule. These two
counties now have a splendid
representative in the Hon. John
McWalters, of Marshall, who is
a man of ability; capable and
honest, but like our own, he can
not go back next year. About

becomes qualified and begins to
learn how things are accomplish

must step down and out.
We suggest a convention of
our County Committee and amend
the unbusiness like rule.
Crittenden's Committee would
have no kick coming and would
meet no doubt and ratify the
action of our Committee in the
premises. Everything would
thus be satisfactory, on a bust

R0BeRTl. FLANARy PASSES
TO HIS REWARD.
Death Robes Our city Of One Of Its
Best Loved and Most Highly
nOnOred Citizens.
WAS SI(k BUT A FEW DAYS.

When the sad news spread
over our city on last Thursday
morning. Feb. "a. that Bob
Flanary was dying. incredibly
was stamped on every face but
when the report gained strength
and at $50 the news was carried
swiftly over the town that his
spirit had took its fight to the
life beyond, a gloom seemed to
settle over the town as dark as
night. But a week before his
death he went home complaining
of what was supposed to be la
grippe subsequently developing
into pneumonia of the very worst
type, but so sudden was the at
tack that his best friends hardly
knew he was sick.
Bob Flanary was one of the
best and biggest hearted men in
all the proud old county of Crit
tenden and the beautiful tribute
at the church and the grave by
the people. the churches and the
Masonic and Pythian lodges was
the best evidence of the high
esteem in which he was held.
The funeral service took place
at the Baptist church Saturday
at one O'Clock conducted by his
pastor, Rev. NJ. f Miller, as
sisted by Rev. J. B, Adams Of
the Methodist church. The
capacity of the large new edifice
of which he was so proud and in
which his friends were SO accus-
toned to see him as usher. was
tested as never before with
hundreds of friends deep in
heartfelt sorrow. He was a man
loved by everybody and in return
had a warm place in his big
heart for everybody. The fact
that the Republicans joined
forces with the Democrats in
electing him circuit court clerk
on the Democratic ticket last
November is the best evidence
of his universal popularity. He
had a care for every one and
loved his family as only the best
men can.
He was "A years old and had
been a member of the Baptist
church since his early boyhood.
He was also highly reconized as
a bright, indispensable member
of the Masonic and Pythian
lodges. holding the office of Vice
Chancellor in the latter at the
time of his death. Was also
Master of Zion Hill Masonic
Lodge, Honors were evenly
divided by the lodges in the selec-
ton of pail bearers as follows:
Hon. J. w. Bule, G. M. Order, |
and Guy Lamb, of the Pythians
and Forrest Heath, James
Daughtrey and w. B. Wilborn of
the Masonic lodge.
The tribute paid his memory
by Rev. M. E. Miller, a man who
had known him all his life, was
he very highest tribute one man
could possibly pay another. The
floral offerings by his friends and
MS lodges, were numerous and
beautiful. The greatest number

ADVANTAGES OF FREE TRADE
WITH PHILIPPINES.

Trade between the United States
and the Philippines has been helped bv
the provisions Of the rev tariff meas
ure, which permit interchange of prac-
tically all articles free of duty. Despite
the efforts in some quarters last sum
mer to prevent the consummation of
free trade between this country and
the Philippine possessions, the statis-
tics for the first eight months of the
new tariff law show that it has worked
we'll
The total value of exports to the
Philippines during the period August
!, 1909, to March 81, 1910, all but five
days of this being under the new law.
amounted 10 SII,5OO,OOO. against
$1,O00,0OO in the corresponding period
Of the preceding year, and the imports
from the Philippines in the same period
amounted to Sl2,25O,OOO. against
s6,5OO,000 in the corresponding months
OF last year. In other words. the i'm
ports from the islands have practically
doubled, and the exports thereto in
creased about 81 per cent under free
trade. Imports are chiefly in manila
fibre, sugar, cigars and cigarettes,
cOpra, and ibres other than manila.
and exports are chiefly in iron and
steel manufactures, cotton cloths.
wheat flour, explosives, cotton manu-
features other than cloth, meat and
dairy products. boots and shoes, paper,
salmon, and soft coal
In the light of the experience of the
first eight months, free trade is to the
mutual advantage of the islands and
the United States. That it will do
much to help the islands out of their
plight of poverty appears likely. A
steadily increasing trade may be ex-
peeted. With increasing trade will
come naturally closer relations with
these insular possessions, and it is
likely there will be less unrest under
American rule as trade grows.

of the civil war and of the Spanish
war, and knows something of the mill
tary art, both from study and hard
experience He has come TO the con
clusiOn that it will be practically i'm
possible for the United States 70 de-
fend the Panama canal, even if it is
strongly fortified, and that the only
feasible way to insure the protection
of the great waterway Is to neutralize
the canal and Canal Zone.
That is, General Keifer would have
this Government negotiate treaties
with the leading foreign nations where
by all unite TO insure the preservation
and protection of the canal. This has
been done with the Suez canal, and
General Keifer is convinced it should
be done as to the Panama canal.
1t is proposed by the War Depart
ment to construct Notifications along
the canal which viii cost over $4,000
600. But with these Notifications and
with a large force of men along the
canal to patrol every foot of it, Gen
eral Keifer points out it would be i'm
possible TO keep the canal open 10
commerce for a day in war time, if a
hostile feet were lying off either en-
trance. A sudden attack by a hostile
feet, such as was made at Port Arthur
by the Japanese before war was de-
clared against Russia, might block the
canal and ruin this enormously valu-
able property in a day. 1t is pointed
out that it would be difficult to keep
troops free from disease in the Canal
Zone, that defense of the canal would
be a heavy drain in war, and that at
any time half a dozen marauders might
blow up locks or dams that cost
millions.
On the whole, General Keifer has
made out such case for neutraliza-
ton that Congress can do nothing less
than give this important matter lis
fullest consideration.

RESTRICTING THE PERIOD OF
LABOR IS REASONABLE LAW.

When the eight-hour day was orig
lnally proposed, a protest arose upon
the ground that it infriDged prop
erty right" of the employer and the

Regulation of the hours of labor was
once regarded as a foolish proposal.
and, even now, there are some EN-
ployers who do not look kindly upon
a reduction of hours and some workers
who object TO restrictions which would
limit their time of labor.
Consequently, it is significant to
note that two Of the higher courts
have decided recently that legislation
limiting the hours of labor is valid
and in accord with the theory that 1t
IS a question of the public interest.
In Illinois the supreme court has held
constitutional a statute forbidding the
employment of women in factories
and other establishments for more
than ten hours in any one day." In
New York the court of appeals has
held constitutional a law forbidding
railroad corporations TO keep a man

eight hours.
These acts are reasonable legisla-

PARTIES CANNOT BE MADE
TO ORDER.

President Kirby, of the National
Manufacturers Association, is inclined
to believe that there is need Of a new
party in this country. He would have
one, he says, that shall give voice
to the same sentiments that created
the party of Fremont and Lincoln, a
party which shall serve the same high
purpose, and which shall be powerful
enough to hold the nation in balance,
against the demagogues of existing
parties"
Parties cannot be made to order
That experiment has been tried more
than once, and has failed. Prohibi-
ton is admittedly an issue Of some
Importance. but the Prohibition party
has failed to obtain a strong grip. or
even the united support of those who
believe in the abolition of the liquor
traffic.
1t is all very well TO talk about
establishing a party that shall give
voice to the same sentiments that
created the party of Fremont and
Lincoln" but something more than
voice and sentiment are needed. Very
naturally the Republican party claims
to be the party of Lincoln and Ere
mont; Mr.. Bryan has claimed that the
Democratic party, as led by him. has
been the party of Lincoln, and the
independence League during its inter
esting career has laid eloquent stress
on the assertion that it represents the
principles of Lincoln.
1t is probable that the old parties
will continue to fight it out for some
time to come, although there are
signs OF new alignments that may or
may not be permanent and OF far
reaching Importance. When a ma
jority party gets away from the peo-
pie and shows no inclination to return,
defeat is inevitable, and it does not
require new party TO administer it.
