busy in recommending some of their friends, or rather tools. for the position. Then when a trust IS brought into court they practically owfi the judge, so it is easy to see what the outcome of the case will De. Furthermore, many laws that we have passed for regulating and controlling the great trusts or mon- opolies have been snapped in two as unconstitutional by these trust judges. The fact is, that the judges are really governing this country, and if we cannot have the power to recall or remove them when they show their unworthiness, we are really to some extent living under an imperial government and not a republic. And the people of Arizona have special reasons for knowing these things.

WHY HE'S aAGINv TAFT.

Joseph l.. Bristow, the red-headed Insurgent senator from Kansas, is "agin" Taft, and gives his reasons concisely and pointedly. as follows:
 Il am not for the renomination of Taft. His tariff policy seems to be free trade for the farmers and high protection for the manufacturers.
 T am for La Toilette for presi- dent. l believe he is one of the greatest constructive statesmen of the time.
 The presidents language in ve- toing the resolution admitting Ari- zona and New Mexico into the Union under the constitutions they had formed clearly indicates that he and l differ very widely as to our views of the American people as a whole. 1 do not believe that they constitute an irresponsible mob that cannot be entrusted with political power.
 Tt would be mighty good thing if number of federal judges could be recalled"
 And here let it be said that Bris- tow is man who stands out for the Square Deal in way that makes it hard going for the other fellows. And he does things, too. One of his personal accomplish ments, carried out against the hard lest and most persistent opposition, lis we'll worth remembering. The railroads had a plan of weighing the mails by which they defrauded the government out of about one sev- enth more than they were entitled to receive. The steal was obvious lin axarNhn.iv h..l :s ,,,,,,sr hard fight by Bristow before it was stepped. But he did it, and made himself unpopular with the rail- roads and their standpat friends.

With Standpatters Applauding.

Tn the Farmers'Free List Bill, as lin the Wool Bill the President had another opportunity to make good
 his elecion pledge of tariff revision
 downward. Both bills were compro- mise measures, as was necessary in the case in view of the differing po- Iitical views of the two houses. But both cut deeply into duties that permitted monopolistic exactions. They promised a measure of the relief that the people thought they were getting in the election of 1908 and that they kicked the table over to be sure of in the election of li9i0.
 This opportunity Mr. Taft has | thrown away on the ground that | the proposed revision was not scientific"
 If the President had waited for have been any reductian in duties never have been any reduction in duties between the United States | and Canada.
 If he waits for scientific" revision Iof any of the schedules that Con- eress has considered there will be nc tariff action until the next ad- Iministration.
 For instance: On fine wools the house proposed duty of 20 per cent. the senate of 35, the compfo- | mise agreed upon was %. Unsclen- 1 tiflc to be sure, but better than the lexisting duty of 45 per cent. On woolen fabrics the house proposed l a duty of 40 per cent. the senate of l55; the compromise was 49. Un- scientific, but great Improvement
 over the present tariff of f05 per Icent.
 These differences represent the difference between the progressive Democrats of the house and the progressive Republicans of the sem ate, They are going to exist i'll spite of the reports of the tariff Icommission. The scientific" re- vision that the president talks hope IfuIly about is dream under exist l ing conditions.
 l The tariff as at present consti- tuted is aggressive and monstrousIy unjust. The choice is between re- Ivising it with an axe-leaving the finishing blaming to be done later
 and allowing licensed robbery to lcontinue-
 1 The way to revise is to revise.
 The presidents way is to procras- Itinate.
 l Mir. Taft has traded a real and great benefit tc the American neo- IpIe for hope And every stand batter. every tarlff monopolist in
 the land approved his action.-Kan-

USING NATURES OPPORTUNITY.

In the news columns will be found story that should be of great in- terest to Mena, as it later probably will be to many thousands all over the Southwest.
 Bethesda Springs, long before Mena or the railroad were even dreamed of, were famous for the healing properties of their water and people came long distances ov- CT the mountain roads and trails to be benefited by them.
 In the years of city building, in the years of commercialism, if you will, through which Mena was builded, these fine springs and their virtues were largely forgotten or ignored save by few, perhaps, who went there regularly and drank from the different founts of na- ture and carried the limpid waters home in jugs and cans for every day use.
 Then there was another class ever true to Bethesda Springs--the low CTS of the beautiful, who made a joy of many hours among the cool shadows of the beautiful forest trees, drinking the pure waters for the joy of it, added to pretty wind ing drives coming and going. This latter class comprises large per cent of the people of Mena.
 Both of the above named admir- CTS of Bethesda Springs and that vicinity, and all who have in any way grasped the value to humanity of such spot will be glad that at last movement it begun that will develop the opportunities that have lain dormant for a long time.
 Then, as purely business propo- sition this step means much to Mena. Regardless of how fares the man or men who put their money into the enterprise--and all should |certainly wish them well-Bethesda Springs, developed and beautifled will bring thousands of people to Mona and to Polk county, and they will benefit all lines of business now established. will make opportunities for new lines of endavor, and among them will be many who, staying for a little while, will learn of the vir- tues Of this fine country and come and share it with us--to the profit of themselves and to ali.
 May the new enterprise thrive greatly.

burners under the boilers m the ii.- fle brick building. From this build ing goes out the light that ilumlnes the town; the power that runs the numns that draw the water Tor Sabetha: the power that turns the wheels in the marts and mills anu heat that warns the hands of the workers in Sabetha. The heating plant will mabe $2000 a year. III two years the plant will have paid for itself. What will the town do then? By corporation ethlcs the chances are that the consumer wouldn't come in for any particu- lar consideration at this juncture. But in two years Sabetha Will cut its rate in half and the clear pr0ht from what was once waste steam will thereafter go to extending the supply line to the more remote parts of town.
 Enter Country Town Playground.
 Sabetha's town park IS similar to any country town park. frees and grass are not rare in Sabetha and the park does for the meeting place of the anual chautauqua- A sanitary drinking fountain gives It non-rural touch, but Sabetha be- llieves it needs another kind of park | A Park and Improvement Assocla-- ltion was formed with capital oi
 5000. A plot of ground near town
 was purchased. It is now used TOT
 baseball field. Next year the as-
 sociation hopes to begin on a club house. a swimming pool, skating lrink and complete playground ap- lparatus.
 Many towns much larger than ISabetha are bothered with the Ihitching along the main street Fifty motor cars and three ga- Irages have done their part to elim- linate the Hay" effect in Sabetba but George Myers did more when he built a ten cent hitch" locally Istyled. This is galvanized stee Ished i32 feet square, where the far liners who have driven to town tlt

 l Sabetha has a s60,000 hospita built by two of it's citizens that is
 said to be the equal of any in tho
 world in modern improvements ane Iconveniences. It is the pride of ths
 community.
 Here, then, is Sabetha, country
 town, city wise, and some of lt'
 wisdom that stands above the usla content of villages, satisfied witt
 what growth the community'' needs had forced upon them. Here
 then, is Sabetha, not merely spo interrupting the boundless corn but town that has solved tho problems of country life, with ; skyline, not of skyscrapers, but O ideals, rising above the horizon where gold of sun meets the amber . tassels of the grain.

A FINE SPIRIT SHOWN.

Perhaps a good many Mena busi- ness men may not give it thought, but a thing happened today that should be appreciated. Mr. s. A. Arnold, proprietor of the Lyric Airdome, without solicitation, had call for the Arkansas on Wheels mass meeting painted on every one of his advertising boards over town. Tn addition, with Mir. Andrew Dono- hue, he was out early today and passed bills all over the business section in behalf of the same cause. Newspaper men are called upon for mach free boosting almost daily-and usually respond just be- cause it's for "our town"--and they at least appreciate the spirit shown by Mir. Arnold. his assistants and MT. Donohue.

HOW THEY FOUGHT WILEY.

Speaking of the recent fight on Dr. Wiley, the pure food expert, and the investigations that resulted, a Washington writer said:
 While the whole hearing was a succession of revelations that left the committee and spectators thun- derstruck, the most astonishing tes- timony came when Dr. Wiley told of his efforts to prevent the use of alum and sulphur dioxide in food products.
 Alum, used in foods said Dr. Wiley, especially in baking powder, is responsible for the large amount of constipation that is prevalent throughout the country. I consider ed it's use a serious danger to the public health, and wanted it stopped pending an investigation. But the other two members of the referee board overruled me, as they inyari- ably did, and the use of alum is still permitted.
 Another case involved the use of sulphur dioxide. Dunlap and Me- Cabe recommended that we discon- tinue the rule requiring that the presence of this drug be indicated on the label. As the rule had been adopted after a most exhaustive in- vestigation l was convinced that to do away with it would be grave mistake. Dunlap and McCabe re- voked the rule, however, during my absence, and when I returned 1 wrote letter to Secretary Wilson asking for a hearing. But Secre- tary Wilson did not even reply to my letter"

RATS EAT REVENUE STAMPS
Mystery That Puzzled United States Officials for Several Weeks at Ft.
 Wayne Is Solved.

Fort Wayne. Ind.-The activity of a colony of rats explains the repeated disappearance of revenue stamps from barrels of beer shipped to Avilla, north of this city. and clears up a mystery which has given United States internal revenue officers in Fort Wayne much concern.
 Tn. first complaint. received sev- eral weeks ago. was that six barrels of beer in a railroad warehouse at Avilla. awaiting delivery tc the con siguee. mad been stripped of revenue stamps. The government authorities and Deputy Collector L. r. Sharp con ducted an examination. He was un- able to solve the mystery and with much red tape the missing stamps were replaced.
 The revenue office was notified of the second case the other day. but with it came the information that rats had been discovered at the work. and apparently had been attracted by the paste used on the stamps.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

President Taft has vetoed the act
 admitting Arizona and Mexico to statehood, on the ground that Ari- xona's constitution provides for the recall of judges. President Taft takes an entirely different view of this subject from ex-presideni Roosevelt. who stated that while he does not favor what is known as the recall he does not see why Arizona should not have that privilege if she desires.

WE DO NOT APPRECIATE.

A gentleman who knows Mena we'll, but who does not desire that his name be used. a few days ago wrote a letter to The Star. in which lie said;
 The people of Mena do not ap- |preelale what valuable asset they have, in climate. water and beauti- ful scenery. on of the prettiest little cities in any mountain country. They should spend a few weeks in this low, river country, with it's hot climate and mosquitoes, day and night. as l have heen doing. shen they would long to get back where they can be comfortable and enjoy life, be happy and contented.

 It is all too true that Mena people do not appreciate what blessings they enjoy. If they did, they would not only be happier, but they would be more useful, for they would strive day by day 10 bring others to the land of good things-up in the beautiful Ozarks thus making the world better because more people in it would be enable to live hap pier, healthier lives.
