NEWSPAPER RATES TO BE IN
CREASED.

In recent message to Congress,
the President has instructed that
body to pass bill increasing the
postage rates fourfold on newspapers
Of general circulation.
The old saying that "it rever rains
but pours," is true at the present tide
of events.
Living has become more expensive
Of Iate and prices are going up all
over the country on everything, Sc
the increase or raising Of the postage
rates will necessarily mean the in
crease Of subscription rates.
There is at present large postal
deficit and through this bill it is pro-
posed TO wipe it out. This postal de-
ficit is not due in any manner or
shape to the newspapers. but to the
government paying the railroads and
express companies millions of dollars
in excess Of what they should for
transporting the mails.
A bill for such purpose would be
simply imposing a burden upon the
people. while the railroad and ex-
press companies would continue to
charge extortionate rates and fatten
financially at their hands.
The proper and better move would
be to force the RAILROADS and express
companies to decrease their rates,
They can well afford to do this. The
people should not be made to suffer
for the benefit of such mereiless cor
porations.
1t is time to tighten the burdens
upon the people and thrust them
upon the shoulders Of the corpora
tons who have managed to steer
clear of them in the past
The publication Of newspapers is
the cheapest and best method of ed
ucating and informing the people on
current events in existence. Every
rich and poor man likes his newspa-
per. An increase Of the postage
rates will therefore necessarily mean
an increase in obtaining gen.
eral information through the paperi
and the cost will fall heaviest upor
the poor.
The newspapers pay as much post
age as they can stand under now ar
increase would mean ar increase ii
subscription rates and curtailment
Of publications. If the President
wants this, let him drive ahead witt
his proposition. Inc people DO no.
agree with him.
It was shown in the Senate Of the
United States in the discussion of the
question that the government is pay
ing enough rental for mail cars te
buy every car in the nation-aboui
s5,000,000 1t was also shown that
the government is paying about
s4e,OOO,OO0 year for carrying the
mails. At those figures it is no won
der there is a deficit. A cut of these
figures in a practical way might over
come the deficit.

There is another amendment to be voted upon at this election which may mean much to the entire state, and that is Amendment No. II, which deals exclusively with cotton mills and kindred manufactures. This amendment proposes to exempt such factories from taxation for "a period of ten years, and on this amendment our people are divided, some con tending that such inducement should be offered in order to bring to our state more cotton mills and other factories, while some argue that if cotton mills want to come to Arkan- sas and do business they should be placed upon the same plane as other investors, and should bear their share of the burden of taxation. There is room for argument on each side.

What Wearied Him.

A friend once asked an aged man what caused him to complain so often at eventide of pain and wearinesa "Alas," replied he, Il have every day so much to do. l have two falcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away, two hawks to manage, ser bent to confine, a lion to chain and sick man to tend and wait upon."
 "Well, we'll" commented his friend. "you are busy indeed! But l didn't know that you had anything to do with a menagerie. How, then, do you make that out?"
 "Why," continued the old man, "lis- ten. Two falcons are my eyes, which I must guard diligently; the two hares are my feet, which l must keep from walking in the ways of sin; the two hawks are my hands, which 1 must train to work, that l may provide for myself and those dependent on me as well as for needy friend occasionally the serpent is my tongue, which must keep ever bridled lest it speak un' seemly; the lion is my heart, with which I have a continual fight lest evil things come out of it, and the sick man is my whole body, which is al. ways needing my watchfulness and care, All this daily wears out my strength"

"Yes," she said in answer to some thing he had said, "the old songs are very beautiful"
 "Beautifulw he exclaimed enthusi' astically. Beautiful hardly describes them. They are-they are-well, conn., pared with them the songs of today are trash, the veriest trash"
 "I agree with you, yet the old songs sometimes contain sentiments that one cannot wholly approve"
 "I think you are mistaken"
 q will give you an illustration. There is John Howard Payne's Home, Sweet Home,' for instance. You surely do not agree with all the sentiments it con. tains?'
 "Why noty' he asked warmly. "Why not?"
 Because" she said, glancing at the clock, which was marking the hour of 11-"because there is line in that song which says There's no place like home.' You do not believe that, dc you" Then he coughed a hollow cough and arose and went silently out into the night,

 QUERIES FOR PROTECTIONISTS.

In 1900 the American consumer of sugar paid more than two cents a pound in excess of the price paid by the London consumer. If the tariff was not to blame for the difference in price, will some Republican speak CT or newspaper explain what was the cause? Query No. ?: If the Am erican consumer does not pay the tariff on sugar when he buys it at the grocery, who does pay it, and where is it paid? Query No. g.: If the tariff on sugar is paid by the con- sumner, is it not reasonable to pre- sume that the amount of the tariff on blankets, woolens, hardware, farm machinery and other protected arti- eles, is also paid by the consumer?

INSUFFICIENT REVENUE.

The Payne-Aldrich law is failing to produce sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the government. Dur- ing the first twenty-three days of August the expenditures exceeded the receipts by $5,277,17O.OS. This is ac- cording to the statement issued by the United States treasurer at the close of business on the evening of August 23. In other words, the de- claration of the Republican leaders that the new tariff law is producing sufficient revenue to run the gov ernment is entirely unfounded.

DIVERTING ATTENTION.

The aft-Roosevelt-Sherm side show in New York has taken on 2 resemblance to a three-shell game Just at the moment the public think it understands the situation, and be- gins to feel sure that Roosevelt will indorse Taft or that he will refuse to indorse him, the men managing the show bring forth a new interview which as much as says to the pub lie: You see you were wrong again; the pea wasn't under that shell at all. Guess again."
 The question has been raised in some quarters as to whether the Re- publican campaign managers are not endeavoring to divert the attention from the more important issues Of the campaign.
 The real issue, it is being pointed, out, is not whether Roosevelt is or is not with Taft. Far more import ant are the answers to the follow ing: 5
 1: Why did President Taft co-ope- rate with Aldrich Shoot, Lodge, Gug- genheim and other senators represen- ting the special interests, and refuse the counsel of men like LaFollette and Clapp?
 ?. Why did Mir. Taft continue to eulogize Ballinger after he had been exposed and discredited in testimony taken by a committee of the Senate?
 8. Why did MT. Taft interfere to prevent Speaker Cannon from being dethroned?
 4. Why did MT. Taft as candidate, promise tariff revision down, and as President sign bill revising the tar if upward.
 ,. Why is the President seeking so industriously to bring about the defeat of LaFollette? Is it because LaFollette sought to regulate the rail- roads or because he favored real downward revision?

SMALL FARMS NEEDED.

There are thousands of acres of land near Pine Bluff that might read fly and easily be converted into or chards, truck gardens, poultry farms hog ranches, prairies and other pleas ant and profitable purposes, if the owners and holders could only be in- duced to cut the large tracts up into small bodies and put them on the market at reasonable prices. There are thousands of people in the cities who are tired of wearing their lives out in their efforts to get out an eX- istence, and who would be glad to go to the country where they could produce what they need instead of being compelled to buy from the gro- ceries and truck wagons every mouth full they get But to many the way is closed, the land is owned in large be- dies and is not for sale, lease or rent, and the small city lots are en- tlrely too small to be used even fo:' gardening for home purposes, and the result is that many are compelled to remain in tbe towns and cities Nho otherwise would become producers instead of remaining on the consul mers' list.
 In many localities the wise city builders have taken the initiative ill securing and laying off large farms into five, ten and twenty acre tracts, and these are readily being taken and improved, and within a few years will be a source of revenue, not only to their owners, but to the cities as well. Pine Bluff needs more of these small farms, and there are many who are only awaiting an opportunity to come here and help in developing the dormant lands. In some cities the commercial bodies have taken up these matters. It might not be out of place for Pine Bluffs Board of Trade to sanction such a move ment and lend it's aid in getting it started.

DOWNWARD REVISION PROMISED.

Promise of the tariff revision on the basis of equalization of cost of production at home and abroad plus a reasonable profit was equal to a promise of big revision downward.
 MT. Taft, however, affixed his sig nature to tariff bill which revised the existing tariff upward on an av- craze of approximately Ill per cent Because of the failure of the Presi' dent to make his promise good, 90, 000000 people are forced to stand { further increase in the cost of liv ing.

Senator Bristow sounded the fol

 Wis, Aug. 9th.: ''The Republican party cannot exist if it becomes sub' servient to the people who seek te and have thus far succeeded in con- trolling it, and the fall of the gov ernment is imminent unless this bat tie between the masses and the in- terests, the majority of those prompted by greed and avarice, is won by the former, and if the fall comes the crumbling will start from within, where corrupt and insidious influences are not at work" The way to purify the Republican party and save the Republic is to vote a straight Democratic ticket this fall.

The production is large ly in the hands of trust and the trifling reduction of per cent was merely for the purpose of attempting to fool the farming community.

It is about sixty years since Grea, Britain set aside protection, and adopted tariff for revenue. In the sixty yea~s under tariff for revenue according to table published in tWhitaker's Almanac, wages have increased S1.7 per cent and prices only three per cent. It is therefore we'll seen that the abolition of pro- lection in England did not bring down the rate of wages. Neither would it in this country. If we re- move the obstruction, allowing prices to sink to their natural level, the question of wages may be trusted te take care of themselves.
