TAFT HAS HAD ENOUGH sunny Jim"
PREFERS CUMN|NS FOR RUNNING MATE

TAFT is we'll aware Of these things
Yet he gladly would have Senator
Cumm'ns Tor a running mate.
Senator Cummins reaches and
practices tariff revision downward.
Along with La Toilette, Murdock and
the other insurgents he fought, as
best he could for the principle that
the republican campaign promise OF
tariff revision downward was made
TO be kept. Mr.. Cumm.ns has been
on the side of the people He is pop.
ular and if he We're on the ticket
many voters doubtless would remem-
Der the hard. honest fight he made
for revision downward. And while
they We're remembering Mr.. Cum.
Minis fight for real revision many OF
them probably would forget that Mr..
Taft nulliied that fight.
Upon that theory is built the Taft
desire TO have Senator Cummins for
a running mate
Unlike Mr.. Sherman. whose high
tariff words square exactly with Mr.
Tafts high tariff acts. Mr.. Cummins
wouldn't go about preaching hish tar
if', thus alternating the people. Mr.
Cummins would give them low taru
before election, and Mr.. Taft. judged
By his endorsement Of the Payne-AI
drich bill, and his veto of the Under.
wood.La Toilette wool bill, would CON
tinue to give them high tariff after
election.
The Taft reelection schemers CSec-
retary HilIes and Postmaster General

that after election Mr.. Cummins. then

ing over the senate, and that Mr.. Taft

LETTER FROM +. 7. ROACH
Writes Of Hydrophobia Case and
Says All Dogs in Mena Should
Be Killed or Confined.

f.. II. Roach, who with his little
daughter was bitten by their dog
several days ago and are now in st.
Louis for treatment, writes back to
friends in Mena to the effect that a
complete examination of the dogs
head caused the doctor to- state
that the dog was suffering with a
very decided case of hydrophobia
known as the raging kind, wherein
the animal is very restless and runs
around, chasing other dogs, chick
ems or animals. That instead of be-
ing afraid of water, they drink a
great DEAL and contrary to the gen.
eral understanding, will respond to
their masters call
Mr.. Roach feels that all the dogs
in Mena should either be confined
or killed. His physician states that
without treatment Mr.. Roach had
only one chance in ten of escaping
the rabies. but the odds were not
so strong in Nellamena's case. With
the treatment, which Mr.. Roach
describes as being quite severe,
there is only one chance in three
hundred of any bad results.
Mr.. Roach upon reaching st.
Louis wrote letter asking that the
mate TO the dog that bit him be
confined and kept to see if it would
go mad. In this second letter he
orders the dog killed.

MAD Dc G NEAR ROCKY
Animal Killed After Giving Two OF
Jack Winton's Boys q
Close Call, ~

Jack Winlon, a we'll known farm
err living near Rocky, came to Mena
Thursday with his 6-year-old son to
consult a doctor regarding an en-
counter the child had with a mad
dog Monday.
A dog Mr.. Winton owned became
savage and jumped and bit at one
of his older boys. The animals
mouth struck the boy on the cheek
hui his teeth did not break the
skin. After this the little boy shot
at the dog with toy pistol and 1t
Jumped at him and jerked the pls-
tol out of his hand and the froth
from the dogs mouth came in con-
tact with a sore on the boys hand,
This caused Mr.. Winton to be UNI
easy for fear hydrophobia might be
conveyed to the child from the
froth through the sore. Mr.. Win
Ion was advised that there was lit
tie or no danger of such trouble re-
sulting and he returned home this
afternoon.
After swapping at the two chill
drel1 the the deg left home before i
could be killed and ran wild over
lie Rocky settlement until the fol-
lowing day, when it returned home
and was shot
The incident has caused a great
deal of excitement and many farm
ers around Rocky are killing then
/ dogs.

Former Polk County Citizen Back
i'm Mena 10 Live.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. b. Finn have
arrived from Denver, COL where
they have been for the past year.
When they left Mena last year they
started on search for a location
that would suit them better than
Polk county. Mr.. Finn stated this
morning that he was back to stay
and would buy a home either in
Mena or at Dallas. He was in the
restaurant business in Denver
When he sold his business he
bought an automobile and started
on his return to Arkansas. That
was on March %. On Tuesday
April 4, he had completed his cross
country ride of 400 miles to TT
Smith. The automobile, which is q
Ford, will be shipped TO Mena from

Laxative Sent
Free to Try

1t may be taken for granted that
there is no family of any size that
goes very long without needing lax
alive. If you don't know of good
laxative, or the laxative you are using
is losing its effect, we want to call
your attention to DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of families
are using successfully.
We have scores of letters from moth
ers. and scores from prominent men
saying they are using II personally and
giving IL to their families. men like Mr..
| c. X. Smith of the Traffic Clearing
| House, Pine Bluff, Ark. and Mr. George
| b. Turner, a lawyer OF Harlan, Ky. The
| thousands OF mothers who use 1t them
selves and give 1t to their children
would take too much space to mention.
The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin
| is that il is a mild. gentle laxative
| tonic that does not gripe-1effective and
yet so mild that babies can take 1t. Its
tonic ingredients inyigorate the body
| and strengthen the stomach and bow
/ ell muscles so that they again do their
work naturally. If you have been a
victim OF salts, pills and strong. cathar-
once use Syrup Pepsin.
| You can buy a nifty cent or one dol
lar bottle of any druggist. but before
doing so you may want TO try II free.
II SO, send your address to DIR. Cald-
well and he will promptly forward a
| free sample bottle Then, being con-
WINGED. do as others are doing and buy
II In the regular way OF your favorite
druggist.
DIR. Caldwell does not feel that the
purchase of his remedy ends his obli-
cation. He has specialized in stomach.
liver and bowel diseases for over forty
years aud will be pleased to give the
reader any advice on the subject free
| OF charge. All are welcome to write
him. Whether for the medical advice
or the free sample address him DIR.

TT. Smith, April 6.-There has
either been consummated or will
be at once completed, the consum-
nation OF a great consolidation of
telephone systems, covering the
whole southwest.
The new movement has been UNI
der negotiations for many weeks,
but has not sufficiently developed
for publicity until this week.
In nutshell, it is forming the
strongest independent telephone
system in the United States. and by
