SunfIower Philosophy.

From the Atchison tkan.l Globe.
 A mans idea of economy is to chew the same wad of gum before and after dinner.
 The excuse for so many is that they are young yet, and the truth is they will never get over it.
 The old actor in cheap show is about as pitiful as anything to be seen in the procession going down the other side of the hill.
 We are terribly ashamed of it, but sometimes visiting girl is so pretty we catch ourselves being untrue to the home girls and admiring her.
 Hans Wagner, who was hero last year. has fallen off in his batting. But Teddy Roosevelt hash fallen off in his batting; he's hitting them harder and more regularly in every game.
 Col. Roosevelt is such lucky doa that the fact that he was married a second time has been forgotten. In ordinary life the man who marries T second time is picked at constantly and the women are always demand. ing particulars of the death of his first wife.

Not Too Partisan

The country editors field of pat ronage in a sparsely settled country like Montgomery county is too him. ited to permit his political opinions to be moulded from the melting ladle of narrow party sentiment. He will adopt wise policy and pull for the capable man without regard to party, especially when it comes to selecting men to manage local gov ernment. The best interests of the taxpayers deserve first consideration in making such selections. The edi- tor of the Montgomery Times IS a Democrat. his paper leans in that direction, but he does not hesitate to state that there are good men on other party tickets that deserve con sideration in the coming election. .- Montgomery County Times.

Greater Power Over Railroads.

The announcement that the Inter- state Commerce Commission will sus- pend all new freight rates of general and important scope pending hear ings as to their reasonableness, denotes that the commission intends to take advantage of the greater powers vested in it through the re- gently enacted Railroad law. The law not only gives the commission power to suspend a rate on it's own motion, instead of waiting for formal complaint, as before. but it throws the burden of proof as to the justice of the rate, or the pro- posed rate, on the carrier instead of on the government.
 These two important points in favor of the people, and which should count for much in the regu-

POLICE IN CUPID'S ROLE
John Banks Started Something" When He JOked With Frank Repetto
 aud Dave Goodner.

Saturday afternoon John Banks started a joke about getting married and before the sun had ceased to color the clouds in the west was a benedict.
 Here's the story as it was told to The Star.
 About the time Frank Repetto, and Dave Goodner, who guard Mena at night, went on duty Saturday, John Banks made some remark to the effect that he would get married if they would get a license for him. They asked him what time he wanted it to come off, and he said about s o'clock.
 Frank and Dave, not used to being bluffed, made tracks for the court house, and interviewed County Clerk Parker to good effect, securing the ne- cessary license. Then they arranged with Judge Prickett to meet them at the home of B. c. Davis, the county road commissioner, at 8 o clock.
 With all preliminaries arranged, they corralled Mir. Banks and told him that all was ready for him to make good his promise. He was somewhat taken back at the turn things had taken, but said he'd stand pat as | far as he was concerned.
 The interested parties gathered al the home of the bride-to-be, Mis: Pearl Davis, at the appoi n { e hour, and she, like MT. Banks was game, and at 8 clock and l( minutes John c. Banks and Mis- Pearl Davis were made one accordinl to program.
 John Banks is known to almos everyone in Mena, and for man, miles up and down the Kansas Cit, Southern, where for years he ha bought ties. The bride is the daughte of Mir. and Mrs. B. c. Davis. Both have many friends who exten congratulations.

SPREADING RAILS;
 FOOT CRUSHED OFF
C. |. Clement, Switchman. Victim Of Accident in K. C. s. Yards Here Jolted From Running Board
 of Engine.

CT have been switching for a long time but am through now"
 These were the words of G. L. Glenn ent. better known as Lott, as he was taken from beneath the front of switch eneine No. 92, at 11:20 q. m. Monday with his left foot mashed of at the ankle joint and the bone ofthe leg bad ly splintered. For the greater part Of the past ten years MT. Clement has been a familiar figure around the yards at Mena and has always escaped se- rious injury.
 Monday morning about l1:20 he was standing on the front foot board of the engine as a car of coal was being pull ed from the storage track west of the roundhouse when the rails spread and the engine dropped to the ties. The sudden jolt caused him to fall and his left foot was caught between tie and the iron support of the foot board, crushing it so nearly off that only a small piece of the skin remained un- broken. Had the engine been going much faster the wheels would probab- ly have crippled him much worse. After he had been taken from be heath the engine he was carried tC the home of R. L. Gordon, where ht was fixed up so he could be moved tC Dr. J. R. Davis office, where Drs Davis, Watkins. Dunman and Parks amputated the limb about six inches below the knee. Clement was resting easily this afternoon and probably vii be taken to the hospital at Kansas Cit! on No. 4.
 The piece of track where he wal hurt is said to have been in very bat shape, the ties being far apart. I'm track is used only to store coal.

Of this number 131 cars were loaded with peaches and 5 cars of watermelons Horatio shipped about 40 cars of the peaches and the balance came from Texas points. These 249 cars made up seven trains for the north against four moving south into Mena.

Co-Oueratiou.

That which is for the public's good is for the good of the individual. and that citizen who neglects to do his or her part in all things which contribute to the public welfare is guilty of a sin of omission: and if one sin of omission is greater than another, the neglect of the duty of cooperation in all affairs of public interest it seems would be the great est of all. The continual and uni versal application of the law of CO., operation would not only result in great good to all, but would destroy many so-called unavoidable evils. To illustrate. While one family cuts all weeds on his premises, his neigh Dor just across the fence cuts none and allows them to make seeds enough to give supply to the whole community; and while the same citi- zen by careful cleanliness prevents the breeding of flies and trouble some insects his thoughtless neigh bor allows filth and cesspools all around, raising pests to annoy his neighbors and give his beloved city a bad reputation for insects and even dreadful diseases. And do you know that ones omission of duty in cleanliness may and does cause the death of your neighbor or some member of his family?
 Now think of it: Accessory to a death.
 Now just few thoughts. Sup pose every family in Mena would not allow a weed in the city to go to seed. In one or two years not a weed could be found in town. If everyone would keep his premises perfectly clean and kill all the flies for a year or two. the result, we would not need a screen.
 Did you ever think of this: You can't do a deed that is for public good without at the same time bene- fitting yourself. What do you say to everybody cooperating for few years and note results. Citizen.

Initiative and Referendum.
(contributed.j

tAFCbNAA10eSNfi
 In passing upon Amendment No. 10 to the state constitution, known as the Initiative and Referendum" Amendment, the people of Arkansas have an opportunity to say whether or not they will take the law making power into their own hands. This amendment proposes to make of the people themselves a legislative body and to constitute them part of the legislative department of the state government. Through the Initia- tive they may. by petition signed by 8 per cent of the voters of the state, propose laws and amendments to the state constitution, to be voted upon and enacted or rejected by them without the intervention of the legislature. It does not propose to abolish the legislature, but it does propose, by the Referendum, the reference to the people of measures enacted by the legislature, either by the legislature passing the measure or by petition of 5 per cent of the voters. The amendment denies to the governor the right of veto upon enactments by the people through either the Initiative or the Referen- dun.
 The adoption of this amendment would be a long forward step in the establishment of a pure democracy, and one that the people will surely take with unanimity. It is their opportunity to come into their own. This IS said to be "a government of the people, by the people and for people," Nobody will seriously dis pute that it ought to be. but that ( | is such a government will not only be disputed, but cen be demonstrG. bls proved to be otherwise. It has been demonstrated beyond question that a representative government lacks great deal of being a govern ment BY the people, and that it often lacks a great deal of be- Z a govern. mentFo the epeople. BItif Amend ment No. is adopted we shall surely have the legislative branch of our state government BY the people, al least, and if it is not FOR the people the fault will be their own. And even if the people should make mis- takes and enact laws that are not tc their best interests they Twill have power to repeal or amend.
 Such power vested in the people themselves would, it is believed sound a death. knell to all class anC special privilege legislation. AnC while it may be urged that tn, amendment is not particularly need ed Tn the state as present correc tive, yet its adoption can do no pos sible harm to the present status o1 affairs in the state and certainly it operation would be a safeguard fol the future, and might at some futur, time be "very present help in tn, time of need" who knows? At an! rate, the people are surely willing t. trust themselves and will undoubt edly adopt the amendment.
