THE KEYNOTE

In a recent speech DR.. Wood
row Wilson said: 'What We
want is more business and less
politics"
That phrase sounds the key
note of the present campaign.
The personal mud-slung epithets
being hurled between candidates
and spell binders do not help to
save a dollar OF our money, or
help to lift the excessive burdens
from the shoulders of our tax
payers. Conducting the affairs
OF a county, state or nation is as
much of a business matter as
conducting the affairs of your
own private business, and we
should be as careful to select
capable men for that work as we
would in selecting capable men
to conduct private business. In
our failure to do this lies the
whole of the evils of misgovern-
ment.
The money raised by taxation
to carry on the expenses of gov
ernment-your money and mine
lis levied and spent by three
different bodies. First by Con
gress, to provide for the welfare
OF the nationg second by our
state legislature, to provide for
additional welfare of the people
Of the state; and third by our
county commissioners, to pro-
vide for the welfare of the people
OF our separate counties. In or
der to have right government
these bodies should be composed
OF men of integrity, of ability
and specially fitted for the work

Little Rock, April 3.--It is believed here that the placing of the Missouri & North Arkansas railroad in the hands of George l.. Sands of Eureka Springs, w. s. Holt of Little Rock and Jesse Mcdonald of St. Louis as receivers will have a tendency to put the porperty on paying basis and assist in the projected extensions. The appointment was made on the ap- plication of the St. Louis Union Trust Company, to provide for the payment of a $6,000,000 loan with interest, ne gotiated in February, 1906, upon which default has been made since April 1, 1908.

An Elastic Appetite.

The American black bear has an ap.
petite that may be appropriately term
ed elastic. He will kill thousand
pound steer and capture the tiny field
mouse for meal with equal indiffer-
ence. If pig or sheep is not handy to
his reach he will dine on colony of
ants or nest of wood grubs He will
feast on dainty birds eggs or sweet
stores Of wild honey and on the foulest
carrion with like gusto. BE will fish
for the savory trout. but at the same
time snap any warty toad or Shiny
lizard that may happen along that
way. He will seek the luscious wild
plum when 1t has ripened or the wild
grape among the branches where the
vine Chambers and bears It's fruit, but
will not miss the oportunity to make
food Of any snake that may lie In
ambush there for birds that come to
peck at the plums or grapes. The bear
has comprehensive palate. There is
scarcely thing In the animal or vege.
table kingdom that will not tickle 1t.
