.R. R. C. THOMPSON
 IS ENDORSED
QCortiuued From Page 1.)

Dr. Thompson was endorsed for the office by the county central committee four years ago, but the state commit tee declined to endorse him and Furth got the plum. Dr, Thompson receiv- cd the endorsement of the Jefferson county committee again this year and for the first time the state committee has approved his application for the Pine Bluff postofice, which is one of the fattest of Federal jobs in Arkan- sas. Colonel H. L. Remmel, chair man. presided at the meeting Of the central committee yesterday.
 The sentiment here is strongly in favor of the reappointment of FurtEl or the naming of some other white Republican in preference to Dr. Thompson. Strong pressure will doubtless be brought to bear against the naming of Thompson by President Taft, as it is rumored that the old Confederate veterans and the Daugh- tcrs of the Confederacy are to take the matter up from this section. h the event President Taft appoints Thompson and his name is sent to the Senate, it is reported that Senators Clarke and Davis will be appealed to to prevent confirmation there.
 To Ferd Havis, the local negro politician who has had control of county affairs for years and who has repeatedly lined up for Thompson at every county convention anl commit tee meeting, is due Thompson's sac- cess So plain has been Havis' :n- terest in Thomrson's candidacy that the Insurgent Republicans and many Democrats declare that if Thompson goes into the local Federal building he will be the Postmaster in name on. ly; that Havis will receive a share Of the salary, if not all of it.
 Dr. Thompson returned last night from the capital and is highly clated over his success before the state eell- rnittee. He said that the matter will probably be brought to the atterticl O Iresident Taft at Washington with m a short time and is sure t,lat s.e Will be Pine Bluffs next postnast.r.

Camp Pindall Abandoned.

Three wagons filled with targets and other rifle range material drove Away from the old rifle range six miles east of Little Rock this morn ing and Camp Pindall was no more.

 The mine operators committee has been ordered to Kansas City and be- fore the end of the week will be in consultation with the national official of the miners.
 If the conference is successful and puts an end to the strike, the manu- featuring plants of the state will be enabled to burn better quality of coal than they have been able to se- cure the past two months, and 15,000 miners in Arkansas will again be giv- en work The lookout of the mines has almost paralyzed business in some sections of the state.

official announcements by the Borden mills in Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land and reports from number of southern mills of their intention to run on reduced time during the sum- mer months, owing to the absence of demand for finished goods, even at substantial price concessions.
 The trade generally is complaining of extreme dullness in business. There have been no indications recently Of improvement and the belief is enter tained that stimulation must come through the elimination of prevailing uncertainty recently engendered by the attitude of the government and congress toward corporations. It is gress which is expected this month will have tendency to quicken com mercial activity in that some of the questions now vexins the minds of business men will have been settled for time at least and thus permit the establishment of a more stable basis on which to calculat> future probabilities.
 The interests in control of the spot situation here continue to dominate the future market and have supported prices steadily while merchandising their cotton.

.GOLDEN RULE" FOR DRUNkS.

GOLDEN RULE FOR DRCNkS.
 The Golden Rule will be applied to intoxicated persons in Chicago if an ordinance nov in the hands Of the judiciary committee is passed by the city council. The city coun- Gil judiciary committee yes terday decided that in the future all "drunks' found on the street by po- lice must be taken to their homes.
 It did this despite an opinion given by Assistant Corporation Counsel Hayes that it is illegal for police man to take an intoxicated person to his home instead of a police station, and after Judge Mckenzie Celland, the father of the proposed ordinance, had told the committee that he had gotten around the objections raised by the assistant corporation counsel by changing the words found on the street in an intoxicated condition to found on the street in condition of physical helplessness-"
 The committee will report the meas ure favorably to the council next Monday night-Chicago special dis patch.
 How much more human is the Golden Rule than the custom of bleeding some weak minded unfor- tunate for the usual police court fine, and in many cases taking daily food from the mouths of some devoted wife and innocent babes. The action of the judiciary committee of the Chica- go City Council is to be commended and is an example that should be followed by every city and town throughout the United States. St. Louis has long enforced a rule that all harmless drunks' be either talk en to their homes or cared for at headquarters until the following morning, when they are discharged and permitted to return to their work or to their families
 In Pine Bluff it is no uncommon thing to observe the police taking ad-. vantage of intoxicated men and after compelling them to remain all night in a filthy cell, in which are thousands of bugs and insects, stick them for five or ten dollars the next morning. Po- lice Judge Stewart is whole souled fellow. He could make himself fam ous if he declined to fine a harmless drunkard in his court in future If a man is so weak as to imbibe too free ]J and to such an extent that he finds himself helpless, then the police should care for him in a respectable manner. If it is necessary to care for him over night, he generous enough to release him the next morn- ing without making him pay a fine the next morning just for the sake of making a good police report at the end of the month.
 When man is a vagrant and in- sists upon frequenting the streets in drunken condition. he should be either made to leave the city or kep. on the city work gang. But by all means, let's put stop ts the daily custom of working" unfortunates at police headquarters for the purpose of securing little revenue The family of the drinking man need clothing and food and if the man him. self has not enough pride to remain sober and provide for them, the City ought to do it.
