SHOULD BE UNRESTRICTED.

Arkansas delegates to the Demo- cratic national convention should be free from the handicap of being pledg- ed to some choice, at least after the first ballot.-Hot Springs SentinelRe- cord.
 The delegation from Arkansas should go uninstructed to the national con- vention at Baltimore. The friends of termined effort to get an instructed delegation for the Mssourian, while the friends of Governor Harmon are not demanding that the convention in struct for their favor;te, but are op- posed to an instructed delegation to Baltimore. It is not expected that Woodrow Wilson or Oscar Underwood will figure in the convention, although the Alabamian has many admirers in this state
 Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson is advocating the nomination of Champ l-l trol the convention it is not thought that MT. Robinson will insist on the Arkansas delegates being pledged to the speaker of the House. The Ark ansas delegates ought to go to Balti- more free to use their best judgment, after the convention centers on the best man, whether it be Clark, Har- mon, Wilson, Underwood or someone else. The Sentinel Record expresses the sentiments of practically every loyal Democrat in Arkansas when it says that the delegates should be free from the handicap of being pledged to some choice
 The delegates at Baltimore should lay aside all personal preference and center on the strongest Democrats as standard bearer It will be a time for conservatism and the best judg- ment should prevail. The Republican party is smashed to smithreens just now and the Democrats have the op- portunity of their lives at Baltimore, With the right man to lead them the Democrats will be able to pile up the greatest majority ever recorded at the November election.
 Unless the national Republican com mittee plays to the Taft galleries a, Chicago, Colonel Roosevelt is going tc be the nominee of the Republican party for president. With the Taft and Lafollette forces hammering away at him the Democrats, with strong man, will win i'll a walk.

Chicago Reporter Responsible For Eliminntion of the Currency
 Frauds As Of Tore.

Chicago, May 29-That ehe green goods man has turned away from currency isues to labels and trading stamps is largely due to the work oi a former Chicago reporter, John 2. Wilkie, who for 14 years has been at the head of Uncle Sams secret ser vice, the nemesis of the counter feiter. Mr. Wilkia as a reporter sepcialiZed on any ass gnment in wihich clues were sca~t to some inter- esting crime His faculty proved to be coupled with organizing ability and consequently he has driven caunterfeiters of monsy to ether un- dergoings including the making cf bogus t.aaifg stamps which are sold by the miller in some 500 cities of the United States, and of labels tf commodities which advertising had made famous and valuable as an as- set The comparatively little risk involved caused the trading stamp and label counterfeiting to be done on a wholesale scale Three men now in, the county jail in Chicago had 1,50O,000 bogus stamps when arrested.

 Ii cities want the right to change from the present system of govern ment to the commission form they should tax themselves for civic inn provements, they should be permitted to do so. County people ought not to oppose the proposed amendment giv- ing cities in Arkansas the power to issue bonds.
