A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

no conscientious scruples against
spending it in the campaign, or
giving it to his henchmen to spend.
Yes, Governor Donaghey is dan
gerous candidate if he stays off
the same stump with his opponents,
which you may with all safety
trust him to do.
On the other hand, if Governor
Donaghey will meet his opponents
on the stump either one of them
can literally make sausage meat OF
him and his public record before ne
has time to escape. No use saying
his opponents can expose his rec
ord anyhow. They can. But it's
the face-to-face, man-to-man ex-
posure that's effective in politics.
That's the sort of exposure Cover
nor Donaghey breads and will pre-
vent.
: " :.
Sure, Mike, Governor Donaghey's
friends would be "tickled to death"
if he should enter into a joint cam
paign with his opponents. THEN
LET HIM DO IT.
Our young friend of the Walnut
Ridge Times Dispatch says one of
the candidates for congress will
carry three counties in the lower
end of the district and five counties
in the upper end. In olden days
false prophets were stoned to death,
but luckily for lots of us that Gus
tom doesn't prevail now.
O.
Speaking of the race for COVER
nor the Arkansas Free Lance says:
Prohibition has assumed posi-
ton of paramount issue, but reve-
nue. is still an important factor"
We should say that revenue is
still an important factor The
question of taxation and the raising
of revenue will remain the one
great question of Importance to
the people who pay the taxes and
support the government, no differ
ence what other issues the guber-
material candidates or their friends
may shove to the front during the
campaign. If the voters should
allow the candidates for governor to
mesmerize them and hoodwink
them into settling the race for GOV
ernor at the ballot box upon the
issue of prohibition, they will find
that, after the smoke of battle has
cleared and the excitement is all
over, the main thing Of interest to
them and their families has been
neglected. We warn every reader
of this paper not to lose sight Of the
financial condition of this state
when they 60 to cast their bal
lots for governor and members OF
the general assembly. We warn
every reader of this paper that
right now the question of TAXA
TON Is, or should be, the para
mount issue In Arkansas politics.
What can be done to give the peo-
pie better, cleaner government at
less costY That's the question.
We warn every reader Of this paper
that every effort at the command
of the cunning politician will be
made to divert the public mind
from the one important question
and fasten public attention upon
minor matters, which will be for
gotten in a few days after the bal
lots are counted, The candidate
who stands for the sort Of govern
ment we are having now Is un-
worthy of public office We had
rather think he Is public plum
derer. Stand right up to the can

Everywhere else. A joint campaign
& by eubernatorial candidates was
always carried on in Arkansas un-
\ til Donaghey came into the politics
of the state. Both Congressman
Robinson and Attorney General
Norwood are excellent gentlemen.
They will conduct respectable
campaign, and Gov. Donashey
would not be degraded at all in
touring the state with two such
men. There is always a reason for
Everything, and we have our own
idea of why the governor does not
care for a joint discussion with his
opponents.
In plain English, we do not be-
lieve that Governor Donaghey can
successfully defend his public rec
ord before an audience when either
one of his opponents is present to
#make reply to him, We believe
M the Governor knows that. We be-
Slieve his real friends know that.

that Governor Donaehey can sue

With the wheat harvest so far
advanced that an estimate of the
yield may be made with approx

ents of this Department estimate
the production at 80 per cent
compared with normal produc-
ton of Is bushels per acre. The
estimated acreage harvested was
l 800, 727 acres. Total produc-
tion should be approximately
26, ,874, ,814 bushels. This is a ma
terial increase over the estimated
production one month ago. Thir-
ty counties of the state estimate
that the yield per acre will be
greater than normal. The per-
centage estimates show a wide
range; Lucas county reporting
1877 per cent, while both Richland
and Huron counties report most
discouraging prospects-51 per
cent. One year ago the yield per
acre was estimated at SO per cent
compared with a normal produc-
ton of Is bushels per acre. The
estimated area harvested is prac-
tically the same as the harvest
area for 1910 as reported by the
township assessors. Reports as
to the quality of the grain vary
greatly, even in immediate local
tiles. The total production should
equal, if not exceed, the harvest
Of last year.
Oats show an increase of 8 per
cent in prospect, compared with
estimate of one month ago. The
outlook is most discouraging.
