LITTLE ROCK. Ark. June S.-The in
PRODUCTION of resolutions providing that
candidates for United States senator in
Arkansas shall receive a majority of all
the votes cast in the primary, instead of
a plurality, as now obtaineds. and the
recommendation that the next legislature
take such action with regard to the sale
of liquor as the will of the people die
tates, featured the opening session yester-
day Of the democratic state convention.
Both resolutions were referred to COM
mittees
The entire state ticket, headed by Gov.
George w Donaghey as the guberna-
torial nominee. adopted at the recent pri-
maries, was approved.

Absolute Sumptuary Laws.

Within comparatively recent times in
this country and in liberty-loying Eng
land the state undertook by secular laws
to dictate to its citizens their food, drink
apparel, cquipages. amusements, recrc-
ations, their daily and nightly occupa-
tions. Each age has had its own peculiar
notions as to what personal liberties of
the individual should be invaded.
CAS- Maraulay pointed out. the main OBJ
iect of the sumptuary laws of the Puri-
tans under the commonwealth seemed to
be 10 debar mankind from indulgnG in
the honest. wholesome joys Of life. Today
all men laugh at these old laws and re-
gard them as petty, spiteful violations of
the rights of the individual.
But Oliver Cromwell, who seldom
showed any leniency in dealing with the
foibles and weaknesses of his fellow-men
and took a grim delight in curtailing
their pleasures. never thought OF depriv-
ing them of their beer. perhaps because
he had been brewer himself
I'm our day, however. the only attempt
that is made to revive the obsolete sump'
tuary legislation is by those who seek TO
prevent the Incorporate use of alcohohe
beverages by making the manufacture
sale or use thereof a crime

Patent Medicine Dopes.

The third fact calling for comment is
the appalling increase In prohibition
states, in the demand for patent medi-
cines. tonics and narcotic drugs. The
doped tonic is the pitiful delusion of the
temperance tippler.
But even if prohibition could he made
effective, if laws could he enacted and
enforced that would prevent all men. the
IN Incorporate and the temperate alike, from
using pure alcoholic beverages and their
noXious substitutes. what ought our at
titude be toward such legislation:

MEXICO WILL LEAD
REPORT ot'coALlTIoN FORMING
TO RESIST ALLEGED AGGRES-
SION OF UNITED STATES.
Latin Americans Fear Establishment
Of Protectorate over Central and
South America Which viii Be
Distasteful to Republics.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Mexico is preparing
to head the general South American
coalition to resist aggression on the
part OF the United States and to pre-
vent too much interference with
South and Central American affairs
by the Washington government. While
this would probably be officially de-
MED by the Mexican government, it
was learned here on Saturday on high
authority that the mission of Senior
Enrique Creel in Washington was not
80 much to represent Mexico in the
Nicaraguan miXup as to consult with
Central and South American repre-
sentatives in Washington with view
to concerted action for the establish
ment of a Monroe doctrine of their
own, aimed against the United
States.
That Mexico, in common with all
Latin America, is alarmed over all the
tone of aggression presumed by the
United States in dealing with Mic
aragua, Venezuela and Chill in recent
controversies is certain.
Naturally MeXlcanS hate and fear
Americans and feeling that it will be
only a matter of time when Mexico
herself may be called sharply to time
has intensified this feeling.
Right or wrong, Latin Americans
feel that there is a growing tendency
at Washington to establish a protec-
torate over Central and some parts of
South America which will place the
republics in the same position as
Cuba.
President Diaz has become con-
WINGED that Mexico, by reason of her
geographical position, her wealth and
population, must place herself at the
head of this government. 1t is stated
that already Diaz has assurances of
hearty support of practically all Latin
America and plans have been quietly
and unofficially placed before the
principal European nations and he has
been assured of their moral support.
That the United States may be
called, on to face a united Latin
America in case of further attempt
to interfere with Latin American In
ternal affairs is regarded as certain,
and it is probable that this coalition
will have the backing Of Germany at
least

BANK ROBBERS WERE TRAPPED
Two Killed, One Wounded and Two
in Jail as Result Of Plans Being
carelessly Discussed.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Five men
who intended to rob the three banks
and the postofflce at Harrah, OKLA,
early Friday ran into trap set by
United States Marshal Jack" Aber-
nathy. AS result two bandits are
dead, one in Jail at Guthrie, wounded,
and two suspects are in Jail here.
Frank Quigg was shot down in a
fight with the posse and instantly
killed. He lived at Atchison, Kan,
and was the son of a wealthy mother.
Frank Carpenter, another robber, was
wounded in the fight, and died in Jail
here. j. G.. Ditbeck. the third bandit,
was only slightly hurt.
The robbery was well planned, but
Carpenter made the mistake of tell
ing a number of people of the plot. In
this way postofllce inspectors learned
of the affair.
Marshal Abernarthy was notified,
and when the robbers reached the
bank he was ready for them. The
posse caught the men in the act OF
breaking into the rear door of the
Harrah State bank. The robbers ran
and the deputies fred, woundlng Car
penter and Ditbeck at the first vol
ley. Quigg snapped his revolver, but
before he could return the fire he was
killed by rifle ball.

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Frederick Mayer Boot and Shoe Com
pany Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on a sound principle, rather
than money, is pest illustrated by the re-
production Of the following biographical
sketch of Frederick Mayer, founder of the
L. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
American National Alliance;
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name, came to this country from
Niernstein, Hessen Darmstadt, in May,
1851, and Immediately proceeded to Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the en-
ploy of II. Suhm as a journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1882,
year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only German apprcnticed arti:
san knows how. Subsequently n stock of
goods was carried and a retail business con
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at Wholesale to the
trade.
In 1890 the business was well established,
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time on the
growth was more rapid. The capacity, oil
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 1900 pair per day, giving EN-
ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over six hundred thousand dollars in
wages, and employing sixty-five salesmer
who travel "a states in the interest o.
| Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March 10, 1893
after building up a large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons
George p. Mayer. Fred J. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who, by rigidly maintaining tn,
policy OF the founder, have succeeded il
bringing the business up TO its presen
magnitude, where it stands as monumen
of German thrift and industry.

Aiding the Farmer.

Washington.-The United States
government is spending $lS,000,000 a
year on experimental work looking
to increasing the yield and efficiency
of the farms of the United States
This money is not expended in fool
ish experiments, but all Investigations
are made under personal supervision
of experienced departmental heads.
Secretary Wilson is a practical man
and requires results, from all lines of
investigation. Every avenue of trade
is covered because the farmer is
largely dependent upon them for his
success. His prosperity ultimately
brings profitable results in all other
lines of business.
