May Be Complications.

The progressive democrats Will new
er agree to the merging of the farm
ers' free list bill and Canadian recip.
rocity.
President Taft will continue his
fight against any and all movements
which will directly or indirectly defeat
his reciprocity program, He will be-
gin series of conferences with con
gressional leaders tomorrow in the
hope of getting an early and favor
able vote on the Canadian agreement
The president has told friends in
his party that he entertains no fear
for the fate of his one big policy, but
he is taking no chances. He has the
promise of practically enough votes IN
the senate to put reciprocity through
but new situations are arising so rap
idly in that body that he cannot for
see just what might happen to intlu
ence votes now friendly to the Cana
dian ract without amendment.
In his Providence speech Mr. Taft
declared that he was convinced that
the senate would respond to the de
mand of the people and pass the recip
rocity bill without embarrassing it
with amendments. He has reiterated
that belief in private conversations.
yet he knows that the measure is far
from vote and that serious compli-
cations need not be surprising in the
senate.

Washington, June 2G The present
week is expected to see material pro

ate situation as to the tariff and recip.

be held. and now that the president is
here he will talk freely with senators,
regular and progressive. and also with
some of the democrats.
The presldenl will bend his energies
. getting the republicans generally
To consent to the program Of letting
general revision go over until the reg
ular session. He will inc st as strong
ly as ever that reciprocity pass n-
amended. He will point to the fact
that the report of the .ariff board on
wool will be ready by December, and
then will he the time to dispose Of the
wool schedule
There is not the sli2htest sign that
the president viii be surcessiui in his
efforts, so far as the leading insur
gents are concerned. They are form
ing their lines for determined at
tempt to hitch general revision TO the
reciprocity agreement and probably
cannot be drawn aside from their
plans.
1t is clear, as the situation now
stands. that the Root amendment will
be beaten tomorrow. Reciprocity will
eventually pass unamended The dem
ocrats will unite with the republican
regulars in opposing amendment, and
then will try to unite with the repub-
lican insurgents in seeking to pass a
wool bill and a free list bill, and prob
ably bills revising other IMPORTANT
schedules. Prolonged fighting is
ahead

VIII He Use Veto?

So far as could be learned from
friends of the president in his New
England party the executive has given
no indication whatever OF what he
would do if the coalition Of insurgents
and democrats should tack the free
list bill or the wool revision bill, or
both. on TO reciprocity as amendments.
He would hesitate a long time before
sacrificing his reciprocity bill by veto.
yet he has made plain more than once
that he wants no tariff revision legis-
lation until the tariff board makes its
report.
Senator Bailey will fight for an
amendment of the Canadian agree
ment to exempt from free trade the
products of the farm, but while he will
have some democratic and much in
surgent support for this plan, it is
not expected TO prevail.

NUMBER n.

Kieier Of the Ozark National Forest
said 81 am very much gratified
with the outcome of this case sincd
it stands as an excellent object lesI
son to those bent upon indiscrimi1
nate woods burning The convic1
tion shows that burning the Nation1
al forest is unlawful and further
that this law, which is State as we'll
as Federal, can be very rigidly en1
forced. The payment Of the two
Sl25 rewards to the Bost brothers
indicates that the forest service is
sincere in its efforts to stop the prac1
tice of burning off national forest
land.
Until the creation of the National
Forests in the state in December
1907 and February 1908, hunters,
campers and settlers alike, for va
rious reasons, either purposely or
through carelessncss, allowed the
big woods to burn over annually
without regard to the ownership of
the land In the National Forests
considerable territory belongs to
farmers and lumber companies.
Upon the lands belonging to them,
these owners may do as they see fit.
But on the National Forest land the
heritage of the whole people of Ark
ansas and the nation, which is being
so carefully protected for them,
Uncle sam has requested that fire be
not allowed to burn,
The majority Of forest users, the
industrious, progressive citizens, rec
ognize this request of Uncle Sam as
being wise and just one, and are
lending the heartiest cooperation in
this campaign against the burning
evil
There is no question that the con-
yiction of Henry Cross on May II,
1911, to two months in the Pulaski
county jail for wifully setting fire to
leaves and woods on national forest
land, which he left unextinguished,
and the payment Of S125 to each of
the Bost brothers will have far
reaching influence upon the fire prob
lem on the national forests in Ark
ansas -
Mr.. Eieler is keenly pleased with
the progress which is being made in
the installation of the Ga foot steel
fire watch towers and the rs miles
Of telephone line connecting them.

Point near Mountain View, Parris
Mountain near lson in Stone county,
and on McGowan's Point, near Me

pleted and ready for business. The
other four are in the process Of cree
tion and will be done before the end

LITTLE ROCK LETTER.
LITTLE Rock, DEC. 6, 1911,

LITTLE KOCk, DEC. U, lJl l,
"Your own record is the thing
that shall defeat you" declared ex-
Congressman Brundidge, addressing
Senator Jeff Davis at Beebe, Morril-
ton, Russellville and Fort Smith
this week, and then he proceeded to
give the people the record of the
Junior Senator as il had been COM
piled from the records of the Con-
gressional proceedings. He assert
ed, and presented the official proofs,
that all Senator Davis had done
after making his celebrated Cob-web
speech the eleventh day after reach
ing the Senate, was to make a few
other speeches, and pass two pri-
vate pension bills and a bridge bill.
From a discussion of national is
sues, the Senator has returned to his
old form Of personality and invcc-
tive, and is kept busy explaining,
reiuting and denying, as well as
making attacks upon the record Of
his opponent. Those who had inn
agined the contest between these
political gladiators would be mild
and cmotionless early in the Be,be
meeting found themselves greatly
deceived, and the personal equation
became the more pronounced, in in
creasing ratio, with the Joint
speeches at Morrilton, Russellyille
and Fort Smith, 1t was early de-
ycloped that there was more Of an
issue between them than that each
wanted the oihce-that it is devol-
wing upon the records the two men
have already made in Congress, and
their ability and sincerity in serving
the people.
Senator Davis has repeated the de-
claration on every stump that he
would consent to only the four
speeches, and Mr., Brundidgc has
replied that he regrets this attitude
greatly, as he considers the people
have the right to demand a joint
presentation of issues that vitally
concern them in the selection of their
representative. Senator Davis in
sists that he will not furnish crowds
for Mr. Brundidge to address, and
that he can go out and get his own
little crowds, and he will get his

AS these two brothers sat together
in the county Jail, refusing TO see
