Becomes Life Member of
Masonic; Memorial AS
sociation.
DEEPLY INTERESTED.
Was Made Patron in Alexandria Last
February But Now Becomes Fur
ther Identified with the Memorial.

William Howard Taft, President of
the United States, has again shown
his deep interest in the plans of the
Masons of the United States to erect
in Alexandria magnificent memorial
to George Washington, the first
master of Alexandria Washington

warded to the treasurer of the Asso-

The contribution was made through
Hon. James NJ. Lamberton, Grand Sc
nior Deacon of the Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania, the first vice-president
of the memorial association. ,On
June Goth meeting Of the ways and
means committee of the association
was held in Washington at which
time a resolution was adopted Great
ing a charter roll of honor, consisting
of one thousand subscribers who
would donate. the sum of 500 each.
The one thousand membership was
allotted among the Masonic jurisdic-
tions of the country according to the
Masonic population and the subscrib-
ers were to be entitled to life men,
bership certificates. A copy of the
resolution was forwarded to Presi-
dent Taft by Mr.. Lamberton, and
he was among the first to respond.
President Taft has been greatly in
terested in the object OF the associa-
ton. Last year he attended the first
meeting of the association, witness
ed the comforting of the degrees by
the officers of the Grand Lodge of

PLATFORM NOT
 SUSTAINED IN HOUSE
DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF LOW. FER HOUSE VOTE FOR ONLY
 ONE BATTLESHIP
Senate Voted Overwhelmingly For TwO-Kepresentatiye Foss In
 the Limelight

Washington, Aug. 17.-The little navy men of the House of Represen- tatiyes triumphed today over the ade- quate navy demands by the Demo- cratic platform by standing on roll call for one ship instead of two The vote was 150 to 79.
 The question is now up to the Senate which has voted overwhelm- ingly heretofore for two ships, nearly all the Senators standing for the upbuilding of the navy.
 Some fearless Democrats today showed the causus action was not binding by vote for two ships, but there was a lack of leadership in the fight for the two ships today. Repre- sentative Fosss, Republican and former chairman of the House naval committee, made brilliant speech in which he arraigned bitterly the divergence between the Democratic platform and the actions of the Dem ocratic House caucus. He asserted the acucus had given the lie to the platform.
 The indefensible position of the Democrats opened the door wide fer unanswerable attack by the Repub- licans on the Democratic action in the fight for two ships, both before and since the enunciation of the Bal t'more platform, which Representa- tive Foss dubbed a "Ryanized-Bryan- ized-Tammanyized platform" Many former two battleship Democrats to-

The Republican party would like to get another look in by fill ,ng the State and County offices as they did about thirty-six years ago and then red mixing voters and refusing to let them vote. The Republican party wanting honest elect'on is about on a par with the devil wanting a chap lain ill hell, We have had too much experience ill Arkansas with honest elections under Republican rule ever to let the same old gang get into power again, so Clayton, Remmel 6 Co.,, had as we'll cut the election is- sue out

This is what MT. George Tillies, prominent Republican of Fort Smith has to say about the Republican party in Arkansas is absolute party in Arkansas is in the absolute control of machine which has had the same head for forty years, and which has been fortunate in being on the right side at every National Convention and has never failed of absolute control of the federal pat ronage ill the State during all these years.' MT. T.llies' was right. The Republican party in Arkansas is small machine that controls every federal appointment in Arkansas, and most of the members of the State Re- publican Committee hold good jobs. They are under the complete control of Powell Clayton, with H. l.. Rem mel, as chief lieutenant.

A POPULAR VERDICT.

The finding of the Free Bridge Commission yesterday that a major ity of property owners in number and } in value had signed for the Free Bridge was popular verdict with practically every public-spirited citi- zen of Jefferson county. The action of the Board is no more than was look ed for, for it has been evident for months that large majority of the taxpayers of this county favored the building of the Free Bridge and have realized all along that the Bridge means the salvation of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county.
 The Board gave the Taxpayers Pro- tectivc Association attorneys and oft cials every opportunity to make good their claims that the project lacked a majority of signatures in favor of it, but they utterly failed to produce evi- dence to sustain their contentious. They were given every consideration and treated most courteously at all the hearings of the Board, which last cd during a period of three weeks. On no one day were more than three or four witnesses introduced by the opposition to substantiate claims, that were based entirely upon careless Acpmpilation of figures, compiled with n view to winning sentiment and pro- t<5 .al longing the hearings that they might nnake Last feeble effort to defeat a popular movement in the Legislature. Tie Taxpayers were given every op- :poFtunity to convince the Commission 6fs If the alleged forgeries, dupli-
 atAs, etc. They were not denied Gnything that might have helped their 0anse and the Commission even sur- pTi6ed some of the most loyal Free 43fidge advocates with the generous manner in which they handled the op- position.
 Tie Taxpayers association especial 1y ifs president, T. J. Collier made a good fight, despite the fact that many M misrepresentation and unfounded clarses were filed from time to time
