CITY HAS DYNAMITE SCARE
Quantity of Dynamite Found Under
 "Hoily Roller Church.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Fort Smith.-This city was given a dynamite scare when a plant" was found under the Pentecostal mission.
 A stick of dynamite was discovered under the corner of the building with the fuse burned out, and the walls of the building had been saturated with coal oil All evidence pointed to an attempt to destroy the build ing. The failure of the plan was due to neglect to place cap on the fuse to explode tre dynamite This is be- lieved to have been due to the un- familiarity of the plotters with the handling of dynamite.
 Some, however, believe there was no intention to destroy the church, and that the" plant was made simply as a forcible reminder to the sect that it was not wanted in that vi cinity
 The Pentecostal mission is small frame box house occupied by a sect that is referred to generally as Holy Rollers" The members profess the gift of unknown tongues, and when the church was first located there was much complaint

 The president told the secretary that the legislation was of importance. al most vital importance. and that he had been giving 1t thought for good part of the morning But just now" lie said, T have another subject of deep interest in hand, matter of natural history. By the way. you ought to study natural history, Will; get into 1t. and you won't let 1t drop"
 MT. Taft looked a little quizically St his chief and said:
 I'll have to tell you right now that you can't convert me by sending me any scientific treatises on wolves to read. I went through the pamphlet you sent me the other day as in sort of duty bound. but 1 tell you squarely that I don't care a rap whether the dog wolves go skirmishing to find food for the she wolves when there are young in the den. or not. Dog wolves and she wolves. for all of me. can cct their food in any way that suits them best"
 MT. Roosevelt had been greatly in terested in a controversy which had been saging, touching the question as to whether or not the dog wolves look ed after the care of the females of the pack when there were young to be fed, CT whether the she wolves had to go foraging for their own proven. der. He had his own views on the sub ject and thinking doubtless that matter of so much interest to him migh interest the secretary of war, he had sent MT. Taft a pamphlet on the subject. He probably never sent any more wolf treatises to the war of flee.

His Veracity Once More.

We regret to see another question
of veracity raised over statement by
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t seems in.
credible that anyone should dispute
anything said by that good man, SO
careful is he of every statement, but
there are such hardened sinners. On
Friday the third termer said:
81 doubt if in any State in the Union
there is a more thoroughly mischiev-
GUS primary law on the statute books
than the one we have here in New
York. TWAS passed by the two ma
chimes acting together, with the pur-
pose Of preventing any expression of
the popular will.
After consulting with William
Barnes, Jr., a member of last years
Legislature gave out a statement of
which this is a part:
1.-THE primary law of this State,
which was whipped through the legis-
lature during the final nights and
days Of the session of 1911, was OPP
posed by every Republican member.
Furthermore, it is practically the same
measure which Mr.. Roosevelt in a
telegram in June, 1910, urged the
legislature, then convened in extra
ordinary session, to pass. Mr.. Roose-
velt's memory is sorely at fault in
this particular. He apparently has
forgotten his telegram.
So less than two years ago Mr..
Roosevelt telegraphed his orders to
the New York Legislature to pass the
primary bill which he now describes
as the most throughly mischievous
law Of its kind in and State and de-
signed to throttle the popular will.
Really, he ought to keep letter-press
copies Of his letters and kilograms.

Two Kinds of Strike.

There is difference in strike.
and in therir results. Two and one
half years ago the manufacturers o.
cotton and wool struck Republican
stand pat Congress for a higher tariff
and Immediately the prices of their
products rose perceptibly. This was
true especially of goods Of the cheap.
err grades.
More than two years later some OF
the employees of these manufactures
struck for higher wages. They were
refused. Then they fell under VIC
lent leadership and engaged in disor-
der. The troop were called out.
Socialists and socialogists appear.
Politicians, legislators and Congress-
men arrived on the scene. Riot fol-
lowed riot and despair trod on the
heels of suffering.
Now when things are at their worst
and presidential campaign impends
and various Republican organs must
have something reassuring to say to
labor it is announced the mill owners
have decided to increase wages 5 per
cent all along the line.
What godsend this must be to the
orators and writer's for protection!
How they will sound the. long roll!
Where except in protected Lawrence,
Manchester, Providence andiLowell
are such blessings to be had?
A S per cent increase of wages af-
ter thirty months will mean the mu-
nificent sum of Is cents or so cents a
week to most Of the working people
thus rescued from the very Jaws of
penury and made forever secure in
luxury.
/, A tariff strike at Washington that
yielded no more than that would be
considered rank and ruinous Demo-
cratic ''free trade. - Republic.

Democrats Hoping
Roosevelt Will Run.

~O-~e
Topeka, Kas., March 16.-Since til,
day of his announcement, Col. Roose
velt's stock in Kansas has, been OF
the decline. Fearing it at first, tn,
Democratic leaders now are hopin.
that he may have strength enough t,
obtain the nomination.
\ Kansas Democrats do not hesitat,
to say that the candidacy of Roosevelt
would insure this State to the Demo
cratic nominee for President. Thi.
judgment is based on the sentiment
of both Democrats and Republicans
in every section of the state.
Scores of regular Republican lead.
ers in their localities, who have visit.
ed Topeka, declare that with either
Champ Clark, Woodrow Wilson or
William J. Bryan, Kansas is certain
to give its electoral vote to the DEM
ocratic candidate.
Kansas is the storm center of the
Roosevelt-Taft fight. Gov. Stubs
has championed the Roosevelt end of
the contest, and is travelling over the
country burning Taft bridges behind
him.
He is bringing on his own head a
fight that will wage fast and bitter.
If he is successful in the August pri-
maries in his campaign against Sena-
tor Curtis for Senator, the followers
of the regular will carry it to the
polls in November and vote for the
Democratic candidate.
Up to date not dozen regulars
have been found in the State who
will say they will vote for the Roose-
velt if he is nominated. Hundreds
nave declared that they will vote for
he Democratic candidate for Presi-
lent.
That this number will be augment
I'd to thousands is certain, for the Bit
erness between the two factions will
Intensity up to the date of the Nation
Il Convention.
1t matters not whether Taft or
Roosevelt is the Republican nominee,
neither of them, after an acrimonious
light such as is now being waged,
AN hope to carry Kansas. This con-
lition is the basis of the Democratic
lope and assurance in this State.

The Tall Fellow Pushed Him
Around.

II did not like the way the tall fell
low pushed me around; so l grabbed
the mallet and hit him on the head. .
This is the modest and simple expla.
nation of the Texas express messen'
ger whose heroism moved the nation
to generous applause last week.
It describes perfectly natural res.
eminent which needs no apology.
The "tall fellows" manner of rob.
bling the a train was offensive. A
possible explanation of his boorish
/ incivility lay in his success. His
corpse had been identified as that OF
the great Ben Fitzpatrick, the eminent
desperate feared by men, the captain
of train robbing.
In earlier days, unspoiled by vanity
Ben was only plain Woodworking
robber who went about his business
quietly and courteously. But when
success and fame turned his head he
was not satisfied just to do an effect
i've job. He must throw little brag-
gadocio into it. He liked to see men
stand around. He would push them
around.
To be showed and kicked by any
body goes against the American
grain. The citizen particularly dis
likes to be pulled and hauled by a
bully who is a robber in addition.
Collectively we have put up with
enough of that sort of thing. The
messenger whom the tall bully en-
counted in the express car was
Democrat. He was from Tennessee
and his name was David Andrew
Trousdale, the David for Crockett,
the Andrew for Jackson, of course.
Nor was he Democrat in name only,
but he had the instincts and also he
had Democratic weapon handy.
1t was mallet, precisely the same
thing as the gavel that Speaker
Champ Clark hits the tall robber bull.
lies on the head with so often and ef-
fectively. 1t is the peoples weapon,
always has been since they began to
INSIST on parliamentary, constitution /
al and lawful rights, and it has knock
I'd down the most gigantic tyrants {
who ever pushed the people around. {
Davy Andrew, the true Democrat, |
did not like the way the tall fellow
pushed him around" so he called
lin to order with the instrument of
he forefathers. We perceive beau
iful symbolism in Democrats re-
spending to an armed holdup and an
'wering the proposition that might
makes right by applying a perfectly
weapon where it will do
he most good.
The tall tyrants should find warm y
ng in It. They have got to stop !.
