WILL NOT DELIVER LIQUOR
Express Company Refuses to Ship It
 Into Former indian Territory.

Fort Smith, March 2. In an answer to the suit filed in Inc federal court some weeks ago by Friedman and Company, lccal l'quor dealers, against the United States Express Company, where in a writ of Mandamus is asked to compel the express company to accept liquor shipments to what was formerly Indian Terri. tory, the defendant charges that if the writ is granted the Uulied States and he federal court would be abe,tingS violation of the law by reason of the fact that the Enabling act of the iorn CT territory prohibits the sale or n.- duction of liquor in tha. seciida for period of 2l years.
 The defendant filed it's answ. and a demurrer yesterday. Tie demurrer declares the plaintiffs petition does not contain sufii- cient facts 10 warrant the fIling of the suit; fails to confer Jur s. diction on the court to henr Il anl shows no violation to the con.- merce act
 Iu it's answer the express tou' pauy states that the expense ,t having liquor seized in the fof- mer Indian Territory is grea,Et than the revenue II would rf Seive by attempting to deliver ,he ship. ments.

can who. out of difference to public sentiment in his district, made an anti-Cannon campaign for congi ess- man. Then when he got to Wash ington. he succumbed at once to the powerful Pennsylvania organization and joined the reactionaries. They learned of his course back home, in spite of the fact that they lived in Pennsylvania, and Garner found himself discredited.
 So, when the storm broke last week, he decided to take no chances with the regulars and the insurgents, and ducked out for home. Urgent business" of course, compelled his absence from Washington, and for three days he resisted the appeals and threats of his colleagues who were wiring him him to return. Ten years ago MT. Gamers little trick might have fooled his constitu ents. Kansas City Star.

The Difference.

The New York Times discourses to the extent of more than a column on the great and increasing popularity of the Taft administration, but is unable to find wherein there is any essential difference between the policies of Mir. Taft and those of MT. roosevelt, whose popularity con- stantly increased while he was in office and has not abated in the least since he has been out of office and in semi-seclusion in Africa.
 There is much less difference be- tween the policies of the two admin istrations than there is in the meth ods and alliances.
 When Roosevelt saw that a thing was right, and especially when it had been promised by his party, he used every legitimate resource of his great office tc accomplish it, and he worked with those who favored his policy, not with those who op- posed it. If he had been elected to the presidency on a personal and a party pledge to revise the tariff he would not have turned the task over internationally to Aldrich and Can non, but would have looked to those who represent the people to carry out these promises.
 Whatever consistency there may be between the declared policies of MT. Taft and those of his predeces- sor is utterly discounted by the fact that the President has formed his cabinet and chosen his advisers in Congress from among the men who never had been in accord with the Roosevelt administration, and who did their utmost to hamper MT. Roosevelt. and has consistently ig- nored and otherwise humiliated those of his own party who worked tremendously with President Roose- welt.
 The only product of this inexplic- able and unholy alliance is the new tariff law, which the people repudi- ated, but which MT. Taft, with amazing fatuity, continues to defend

business methods that the business concerns of the country want it stamped out?
 If so how do we explain the fol- lowing paragraph appearing in one of the leading financial journals?
 One of the weakest spots-of the stock market--was the position of an amateur plunger who was finally brought to the dust last week. It seems incredible, but he is reported 10 have been carrying 509. 900 shares = nearly $50, GOO, 900 worth -of steel.
 Is that not gambling? Are men so easily and so quickly brought to the dust in legitimate business enterprise
 Is there any difference between the principle involved when this man "bites the dust" on a $50,000, ,00O wager, and the darkey who rolls de bones" in a back alley, "come seben, come leben," and loses his last quar- ter on Little Dick 2"
 Is it any different in principle from the man who sits all night long and loses his last dollar holding pair of aces and kings when the lucky fel- low across the board holds three duces?
 It is all gambling, it is non-pro- ductlon, it is accumulating or losing on wager without an effort to pro duce either commodity or to give value received.
 The American people have simply picked out certain forms of gamb- ling and said "thou shalt not" but license for other forms is writ in letters of red, and the man who em- ploys the right form is called busi. ness man and not gambler. Ar kansas Democrat.

Poultry Points.
(Farm and Ranch, ,

Fowls may be raised in limited quarters, but more care is required than when plenty of room is avail able.
 While hens are laying do not for get that they require plenty of nitro- genous foods If insects are not plentiful they should be fed meat scraps as we'll as grain.
 Give the setting hen a thorough dusting with insect powder two or three times during incubation. This may save your little chicks from lice and mites.
 To become an expert breeder of any breed of fowls, one must follow the score card. This is the only way to become thoroughly familiar with all points of your breed.
 Mongrels will answer for the be- ginner, provided they are used only for matching eggs of thoroughbred birds. As soon as the thoroughbreds are large enough to lay the mongrels should be disposed of.
 The beginner will find more profit in poultry by keeping only 9 few birds to start with. The flock may be increased whenever the demand warrants it. Many costly mistakes are made by trying to keep too many fowls.
 It is highly important to give at tention to the roost and nests. Lice and mites etroublesomewhenwarm weather approaches. Change the nest material frequently and dis infect the nests, coops and chicken house with kerosene or mixture of lime and carbolic acid. Get a pouI- try spray and be ready for these insects. A stitch in time saves nine" in preventing trouble with lice and mites.

LESS NEGRO CHILDREN
 NOW THAN TEN YEARS AGO
According to Official Figures Missouri Schools Have Fewer Black
 Pupils Than Formerly.

Jefferson City, Mar. 27.-That the number of negro children of school age is steadily decreasing in Missouri and has been for the past ten years Is in. dlcated by the annual report of How ard A. Gass, state superintendent Of public schools, for the school year end. ed June 30, 1909. In 1899 there were 50,S73 negro children enumerated. In 1909 only 43,S75, which is decrease in ten years of 7,016.
 The state superintendent is unable to account for this condition. At Kan sas City not only has the percentage decreased. but the number of negro children Is less now than ten years ago. Jackson county had 5,948 negro school children in 1899, but only 5,7S9 in 1909. Fhe figures show that the gain in negro children for St. Louis in ten years was only 91; in Jackson county loss of 159; in Buchanan county a gain of 159.
 The total enumeration of all chil. dren in Missouri of school age, that is between 6 and 20 years old, for the school year ended June 30, 1909, was 1,005,092, which Is net increase over the year previous of 20,4S3. This in crease, however. is confined solely to the cities. St. Louis. which takes the school census but once in Ave years showed an increase for the past five years of 17,706 children, Jackson coun ty made an increase during 1909 ol 4.121; Buchanan county. 1,555; St Louis county, 499; and Jasper county,

Fashions Pendulum.

Fashion swings like the pendulum of a clock, from the extreme in one direction to the extreme in another. Big sleeves one year, skin-tight sleeves the next; big hats one year, tiny hats the next. And it is with this peculiarity of Fashion in mind that women with tiny doorknobs of hair on their heads are taking hope again. Who knows? Perhaps Fash ion, which has been approving a wagon load of hair, will next year put it's stamp of approval on the two or three hairs some women are wear ing wound around and around a hairpin. n.---Atchison Globe.

Lotteries have been banished from the land.
 They were form of gambling which public sentiment condemned, and they are gone.
 More than fifty race courses have been closed up, and laws are in the making for closing them all.
 This is form of gambling public sentiment seemed to oppose. and the lawmakers are doing what public sentiment demands that they do.
 Race track gambling is doomed in the United States.

Hearing About Arkansas.

"l have heard more about Arkan- sas in the past year than 1 ever heard in my life," said Norman E. Mack at the Board of Trade banquet given in his honor on Tuesday night.
 People not only hear more about Arkansas now, but they hear better things about Arkansas. Our cheap lands and our resources, and the great returns that a man gets for his labor and his capital in this state, are bringing Arkansas to the atten- tioE of the country as a place of opportunity for the man who wants a home and competence.--Gazette.

More Sweets, Less Alcohol.

Give children plenty of pure sugar, taffy and butter scotch and they'll have little need of cod liver oil. says Dr. Woods Hutchinson. Tn short, sugar is, after meat, bread and butter, easily our next most important and necessary food. You can put the matter to a test very easily. Just leave off the pie, pudding and other desserts at your lunch or midday dinner. You'll be astonished to find out how quickly you'll feel empty again. and how unfinished the meal will seem. You can't get any workman to ac- cept a dinner pail without pie in it. And he's absolutely right. The only thing that can take the place of sugar is beer or wine. It is a sig nificant fact that the free lunch counters run in connection with bars furnish every imaginable thing ex- cept sweets. Even the restaurants and the lunch grills attached to saloons or bars often refuse to serve desserts of any sort. They know their busi- ness. The more sugar and sweets man takes at a meal. the less aIco- hol he wants. Conversely nearly every drinking man will tell you he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy nation consumes, the less alcohol"
