BOOKS ARE DISCUSSED
BY METHODIST PREACHERS

"The Preacher and His Books was
the subject of the Rev. A. S. Phelps,
pastor of the Central Baptist church,
before the Methodist Preacir~rs' asso-
citation yesterday He placed great
value on biographical and historical
books. including d goodly sprinkling of
novels of high class character The
speaker thought that although the
time of the minister was nearly all oc-
cupied he could gain much knowledge
by carrying in his pocket small book
on some special subject, reading it
on the street cars and at other unoc-
cupied times.
A discussion developed the idea that
a book good for one minister may not
be good for another and that min
lister should read books antagonistic
to his beliefs in order to draw proper
contrasts between opposing factions.

Fort Smith can be tapped and fuel Heated up or down to factories with little cost A government engineer commission has completed its inves- tigations and the people of Arkansas eagerly await the report. In the meantime two steamers of lfgnt draft and field of barges have been secured 10 store enough coal at the manufacturing sites during good stage of water to last through the season of low water The result is that new negotiations are being open ed for the establishment of more fac tories.
 Little Rock already has many manufacturing interests and the man. ufacturing output of Fort Smith amounts to $40,000,O00 annually Fort Smith has Little Rock and other cen ters bested in the matter of fuel. At Fort Smith are fiftytwo natural gas wells and every factory in the city for several years has been operated with natural gas for fuel at rate as low as .hree to five cents per thous- and cubic feet, while the rate for home consumption averages from eighteen to twenty-five cents per thousand cubic feet. As a result of this use of gas the fuel Fort Smith is the cleanest large town in the state. Housewives there say when they wash their clothes they know the linen will stay white while drying on the line.
 Nevertheless Fort Smith is sur. rounded by prosperous coal mining towns with a total output of $30000t annually When the transportation 1 facilities desired have been secured this output will be greatly increased.

Says That the Tariff Lowered the Prices on Hams and Meats in Gen.
 erai-only Luxurles Raised.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. Addressing the Young Mems Republican Tariff Club of Pittsburg here tonight at a dinner in honor of the birthday of the rnartyred President William McKin- ley. Representative J. w Fordney, of Michigan, in the course of extenoed remarks denied that the new tariff law was responsible for the increased cost of living. MT Fordney said:
 Much, at present is being said about the new tariff law having an effect on the cost of living, and so forth, but such complaint comes wholly through misinformation. There we're practically no increased duties on agricultural products. On the other hand there were several reductions. The duty on hams, bacon and meats in general was slightly lowered.
 Tn fact the average man al his meals can look over the table and find little or nothing on which the new tariff bill has imposed additional duties; but, if at the dinner, we choose 10 serve high-priced wines and enjoy cigarette, we can point to two items. at least, on which the duties were increased, but these are luxuries

 "All these things and more Arlean- sas gradually began to see for her self and decided to remain at home and develop her resources. IArkansas first began to tell the world how fine a place she had for investors and homeseekers a few years ago. and struck a snag The Little Rock Bnsi- ness Mems League bethought them selves of a scheme to get factories into their cities and sent out matter telling of the advantages 10 the To- cality. Every man who investigated found Little Rock at that time could not make good it's assertions that manufacturing could be done there, They reported that the fuel needed
 to operate the plants could be ob' tained cheaper in East St. Louis and ether places far away and the fin ished product shipped into Arkansas at lesser cost than to make it on the ground even though nearer the

that the poor man seldom partakes of.
 T am quite willing to admit that it was generally desired that the duty on some articles of consumption should be lowered, but such desire came from those of our citizens not we'll informed as to ravages free trade would have on American insti- tutions.
 T will not admit that the tariff is the mother of trusts. l do not believe any corporation in the country owes its existence to the protective princi- pies, except that protection fosters home industries. The only unlawful trusts In the country are those that control prices to such an extent as to destroy competition. and exact from the people higher prices than will yield to the producer a reasonable and fair profit for his labor and for capital invested.
 q would no more attempt to ar range our tariff laws with a view of destroying corporations than I would burn the wheat bin in order to de- stroy the rats.
 We notice in England great struggle for supremacy by the liberals and the unioniss. The people of that country are beginning to be cinyinced that protective tariff would bring to them greater prosperity Without, doubt sooner or later. England will adopt our protective policy MT Fordney also made pleaf or more work and less idleness in the country, urging especially that boys be taught early in life the importance of labor

Give your boys trade. profession or bust. ness training; put in their hands man. making power, and direct them to work out their own salvation"
