The Legislative Question
Some of Our Reasons for Commencing
Mr.. Patten's Candidacy to the Read
ers of the independence Reporter.

Some weeks since we had occasion
to announce that Roland T. Patten
would be candidate for nomination
by the Republican party for election
to the next legislature. At that time
we took occasion to comment favor
ably on Mr.. Patterns fitness for the
office. During the 20 years that this
paper and its predecessors have been
issued, very rarely has there appeared
in these columns any editorial com
ment, or opinion advocating the NOM
ination of any particular candidate
Newspapers, however like individuals,
may have opinions and preferences
and. within reasonable limit, are en-
titled to express them. In the pres
ent instance we propose to depart
somewhat from our past custom and
to give some reasons why we think
Mr.. Patten would make an ideal legis
lator.
First. we believe him to be abso-
lutely honest. No man in the com
munity has better reputation for
fairness and integrity in business re-
lations. Our own opinions on this
and other qualities of which we shall
speak. are based in part on six years
association with Mr. Patten while he
vas an employee in this office. AS a
legislator, we do not believe any form
of bribery or any political pressure
would lead him to act contrary to his
idea of justice.
Second, we know him to be a stu
dent of political things. From what
seems to have been entirely unset
fish motives, he has devoted much
time to secure the enactment of wise
laws. While the legislation in which
he has been interested could in no
way benefit him, more than other citi-
zens of the state, he has shown an
enthusiasm which could not have
been more marked had his own per-
sonal and immediate gain been in
volyed. We know that the ruling mo-
tive with him, in seeking this nom
nation is the desire to secure other
enactments. like the Direct Primary
the Anti-Lobby Bill, etc, distinctly
progressive legislation.
Third, we know him to be systemat-
ic, methodical, cautious and conser-
vative in everything he does. With
him. the responsibilities of a legisla-
tor would begin with the day OF his
election. By the opening day of the
session we should expect him to know
many of the bills likely to be present
ed and the arguments for and against
each In solving any problem he ex-
hibits the qualities of diligence and
patience in marked degree. He
takes every duty seriously and we
know that a winter at Augusta would
bring out the best of faithful, fer
tile and conscientious mind.
The independence Reporter does not
seek 10 lnuuelCe uHuuiy TIC opiiioho
of its readers in matters of this kind.
We could only speak thus freely and
heartily in behalf of candidate when
we had had an unusual opportunity to
Judge and where we felt our conf
dence was sure to be justified We
believe the Republican party would
act wisely in nominating Mr.. Patten
and we are sure the voters of this
could not make better
choice of a legislative representative.

More County Printing Talks

1t seems to us that the Fairfield
Journal has said about enough con-
cerning county printing. 1t is now
time for the editor to learn something
of what he is talking about before he
says anything more. Not that the
independent Reporter is annoyed by
the continual kicking of the Journal,
but because we think it must be very
sickening to those who feel Obliged to
read every word in the Journal in or.
der to get their dollars worth. We
suggest that the Journal representa-
tive talk with the county commission
ers and ask them why they do busi-
ness with the ndependentR
Company. We do not know ourselves,
for like all men who are in business
we take what we can get honestly
and ask not why our plant Is patron
ized However, we have confidence
in our commissioners and believe that
If the Journal representative will call
on them they will tell him something
that he will remember, and some
thing that will interest the Journal
readers if he sees fit to publish it YER

When | hear a young man spoken
of as a great genius, tire first question
ask about him is always, does he
work?
If good would only lift itself up to
its completeness, it might claim the
whole world and all of manhood for
itself.
A man shows his true character
only when he speaks of great man
or of a great thing. That is the true
touchstone of his soul.
1t is a terrible waste of suffering If
we do not make the very best out of
our troubles.

A number of improve ments are contemplated in the home, which now houses 123 orphans.
 There are 1l5.000 Baptists in Ark ansas, and more than 70 per cent of them belong to the state convention, and others to the general association or Landmark Baptists, who left the convention six years ago.

BEATS BANDIT WITH HIS OWN
 REVOLVER.
Rairoader Takes Weapons from Yeggman and Floors Him.

Edwardsport, Ind-With a bullet hole under his heart, Albert Lee. 50 years old, station agent for the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad company, fought hand to hand with a desperate robber who attempt ed to hold up the station, and beat the bandit into unconsciousness with his own revolver
 Lee is at the point of death as a result of the bullet wound. The rob Der, who gave the name of George Boyd, and says he resides on Blake street. Indianapolis, is under arrest.
 Boyo entered the station at a lone ly hour and, with butcher knife in one hand an a revolver in the other, ordered Lee to surrender. Instead of needing the order, Lee rushed furious ly at the robber and tried to knock the weapons from his hands. In the struggle, Boyd fired and the bullet struck Lee in the breast.
 The agent, however, kept fighting and finally wresteG the knife and re- volver from Boyd. He then beat and slashed the robber into insensibility and collapsed. Lees small son, who was In the station, called in citizens and Boyd was bound securely before he regained consciousness.

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
 AT NEW CAPITOL
DARING THIEF SNATCHES S980 FROM TEMPORARILY DESERT.
 ED OFFICE.
Thief Waits Until Workmen Are All Busily Engaged and Paymaster
 Leaves Office, Then se;zes Roll.

Little Rock.-Nine hundred and eighty dollars, representing the pay roll of 50 marble settlers and their helpers employed at the new state capitol by the A. Wieblen Marble Company of New Orleans, was stolen from the paymaster when he left the building for few minutes to super wise the setting of a huge piece of marble on the building. The money, which was taken from an office in the new statehouse, was placed in envelopes ready to pay the men for their labors The thief or thieves made good their escape. leaving no clue for the police to work upon.
 The robbery was most daring, well planned and most successful. It Is believed that the man or men were familiar with the building and that the robbery was the result of plan ming for some time That the thief was familiar with the place is evi- denced by the ease with which he escaped detection after leaving the building. Outside of suspicion of man with heavy brown overcoat that seemed to bulge as he passed through the south side of the building, the police have no clue to the iden- tity of the thief.
 John Wieblen. son of President Wieblen of the New Orleans Gran ite Company, and paymaster for the concern, had made out the payroll and stepped from the office for few minutes to supervise the work of construction, and when he returned to the office he found it had been entered and the money taken, while the large glass door was broken as if struck with the butt of a pistol. The robbers missed $207, which was thrown earelessly by MT. Wieblen among some blue prints.
 The office in which the robbery oc cured is located in the east side oi the capitol building While the door through which entrance was gained Is within the building, a large win dow tn full view of scores of men who are working throughout the building is located on the south side The thief or thives are thought tc have planned the daring theft at the time when the workmen were raising the marble from the ground to the upper stories of the building. Tn this manner they escaped detection while in the office.
