"LoNG TIME" is DEFINED
Remark Of Governor Of North Caro-
lima to Governor Of South Caro-
lima Brought Into Court.

The oft-quoted remark of the Gov.
ernor of North Carolina to the Gov
ernor of South Carolina has at last
been brought into court, carefully
construed, and found not to be SO
long as some other times. 1t is prob
able that it was the exceeding
droughtiness of the interval which
made it seem long. In a prosecution
for the illegal sale of whisky in Ala
Fbatma, witness testified that he had
bought a pint Of liquor of the ac-
cused "a short timtr before the grand
jury returned the indictment against
him. It was objected that this evil
dence did not show that the prose-
cution had been begun within 12
months after the sale Of the whisky,
the time limited by statute for begin
ming a prosecution. In discussing
this objection, the Supreme court, in
Wilson versus State, Sc Southern

short time" might be taken in the con-
nection in which It was used to re-
fer to a period less than IL months.
said, by way Of illustration: The
expression a long time would refer
to a very different period of duration
and have a widely different meaning
In measuring time when used by an
archaeologist having reference to the
period of existence Of the Egyptian
pyramids. than when used by Caro-
lima Governors with reference to the
time between drinks" The court
may be right. but probably the Gov
ernor of North Carolina measured
time as recommended by the poet
who said: 1--WE live . in feelings,
not in figures on the dial."-Colliers'

A HOLD UP GAME EXPOSED.

Before you pay charges on an ex-
press package again, 1t might be a
good idea to make sure the charges
have not been paid at the other end.
The extent to which the express
companies have been robbing the
people by collecting charges at both
ends of q shipment, as revealed be-
fore the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, is amazing.
In the case of one company alone
it was shown that it made 5000 over
charges in one day and collected in
one year SGT, 900 as overcharges.
The officer of the company admit,
ted that the system employed to
identify prepaid packages was faulty
but had no particular apology to
make.
Demand for transportation charges
on prepaid shipments must cease, y
declared Commissioner Lane, who
was plainly provoked. THE complaint
of this practice by express companies
is universal.
In addition to the cases of over
charging which come to the atten.
tion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, 1t is believed that thous-
an1s of shipments are paid for at
both ends of which the commission
never hears, owing to the fact that
the victims do not know they are
being fleeced.

CHAMP CLARK THE
MAN FOR PRESIDENT

On careful consideration of the
merits of the several candidates for
the Democratic nomination for pres
ident, we are of the opinion that the
Hon. Champ Clark is the logical man
to head the national ticket.
Between standpat Harmon and the
progressive Wilson, he holds a mid
die ground that proves acceptable to
the great majority of the rank and
file of the Democratic party. He
combines all the qualities that made
Presidents Jackson and Lincoln SO
people. He is Moses who will lead
all the people out of the political
quagm.-e into which the trust ridden
Republican administration has thrust
them. Clear headed, born leader
and organizer, true to himself and
his country, an American among Am
orleans. with no petty prejudicies,
but broadminded and with a heart
that throbs in unison with the best
interests of all true American citi-
zens; he is without a shadow of a
doubt the one BIG man on the poll
tical horizon today.
Since the days of Andrew Jackson
there has been no nobler or better
qualified candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination than Champ Clark.
He is man of the people, steadily
progressing from humble surround
ings, he having worked as hired
man ON farm, clerked in a country
store, edited a country newspaper,
was a college president, became a
country lawyer, was city attorney for
Louisiana and Bowling Green, in
Pike county. Missouri; prosecuting at
torney for the county, member of the
state legislature and chairman of it's
judiciary committee. He is serving
his eighteenth year in congress and
Speaker of the lower house of con-
gress, position second only to that
o. president itself.
Champ Clark is not alone a Demo

'tin the open and is always found
championing the cause of the COM
mon people.
He was never known to straddle
IN issue or compromise a principle,
always aiming for the greatest good
to the greatest number. With Champ
Clark at the head Of the ticket, vic.
tory will once more perch upon our
banner and an era of contentment and
prosperity ensue that will include

land. the Mecca to which the eyes
OF all nations are looking for en-
lightenment and example to follow.

WASHINGTON NEWS

Furnished weekly by Clyde H. Tav.
enner, special Washington correspond
ent of the Observer.
WASHINGTON, March 5. = The
woolen trust, having found that bay.
onets would not compel it's Sc, 81 and
$S a week workers to call off their
strike, is now utilizing the hunger OF
little children as club to force the
parents to return to work at reduc.
ed wage.
Here is how the trust is working
its new scheme:
Many charitable organizations in
cities adjacent to Lawrence, where
the strike is in progress, after read
ing of the desperate straits to which
the strikers children had been re-
duced, made arrangements to have
hundreds of these children cared for
in private homes outside of Law.
renee until the strike ended. Under
this plan, many children were sent
away, some to New York and Boston,
and some as far away as Philadel-
phia.
With the knowledge that them chill
dren were being cared for tenderly
the mothers and fathers back in Law
renee gained courage to carry on the
fight. Freed from hearing their own
children crying for bread, the strik-
ers took renewed hope.
What happened? The trust mag
mates, realizing that if all the little
children were sent away from Law
renee the strikers could longer en-
dure the struggle, at once issued or
ders to the servile police and militia
commanders to put a stop to the de-
portation of children. They knew that
where bayonets, persecution. unlaw-
ful Imprisonment, and all other ordin.
ary weapons of big corporations in
fighting the unions might fail, there
remained one thing which the strik-
ers could not resist, and that was;
the cry of their own children for
food. These millionaires knew that
where strong men and women could
suffer in silence themselves, they
could not long bear to see their chill
dren suffer.
Accordingly, there was issued an
edict against sending children away
where they could obtain food. Imme--
diately squad of state soldiers was
sent to each railroad station. and
when the strikers arrived with their
children many of them were seized
and thrown into Jail. ~
Diabolical as this may seem it act
ually is being done, not in Russia,bu
right here in these United States.
The wooden trust is the most high
ly protected of all trusts. 1t makes
millions of dollars annually in prof
its on stock that is watered until it
is soggy. and it is the same trust
which refuses steadfastly to listen
to the plea of it's men for confer
ence to talk over wage differences.
Query: Since the protectionists de-
clared that Schedule X, which
places heavy tax on every article
of wooden clothing sold in the Unit
ed States, was passed "solely" to
protect" the workers in the woolen
industry, and since these~workers
are receiving absolutely no protec-
ton whatever, why should the Am
people longer tolerate Schedule X?

The Real Story of Printype

The idea 'FRONT.' which "Printype'
sprung resulted from the success Of
type experts in equipping Il typewriter
used in our Offices to write "Tte Oliver
Typewriter our famous trademark
type just as the name appears on the
outside of the machine and in all
Oliver publicity.
The beautiful appearance and the
marvellous clearness of the reproduce
ton of our "ebony" trademark type,
disclosed the possibilities Of equipp-
ing The Oliver Typewriter to write the
entire English language in shaded
letters!
We worked for years on the plan
and fualIy succeeded in producing,
for exclusive use on The Oliver Type
writer. the wonderful shaded letters
and numerals known to the world as
"Printype."

Timber Conservation.

In bulletin just issued, Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agri.
culture calls attention to the fact that
the state of Louisiana, ranking second
in its wealth of timber only to the Pa.
cifc Coast States, will have cut all of
its 1879 billion feet of lumber in thirty
years at the present rate of consump.
ton unless it begins a plan of conserva.
ton and re.forestation. He says:
with efficient protection of this young
growth, and better utilization of the
present commercial stands, the forests
of Louisiana, even in the face of much
greater agricultural development than
now, should remain an important
! source OF wealth."

CHISE OFFERED THAT CITY
FOR $4,000.

Little Rock, March 20.-If Little
Rock fans want to get back into the
Southern League $4,000 worth, they
can do so by Saturday night. This is
the straight dope handed out by Pres
ident kavanaugh, who received an of
fer of five-day option upon an un-
named city of the league, and turned
over to the local fans. 1t looks good
to them, and a meeting will be held to-
day or tomorrow to see what can be
done about it. The Little Rock club
has about $4,000 in the treasury now,
and 100000 looks pretty stiff to
them. But they got $12,500 for the
franchise sold to Chattanooga, and a
syndicate headed by Will G. Hutton
offered Mobile $12,500 for its fran
chlse. Judge Kavanaugh, who de-
clines to divulge the name OF the club
ocer;rg 10 sell, has authority to close
the deal by wire if it meets with the
approval of the locals. The season
opens three weeks from today, and
should the sale be made, the schedule

1t is now apparent from the press
notices throughout the state that this
is to be repetition of the campaign
two years ago. The various interests
which are opposing the governor are
the same that supported C. C. Kava-
naugh so Justify two years ago, and
they are supporting Robinson for the
same reasons they supported Kava-
naugh, yet, when the final vote came.
the governor had carried every coun-
ty in the state except two. The gov
ernor's office would be worth a great
deal of money to those interests which
are fighting Donaghey land they will
defeat him if they can at any cost,
but the common people, for whom
Governor Donaghey has labored so
faithfully and for whom he has sac
rficed so much, are not going to be
hoodwinked by a lot of corrupt cor
machine politicians, bood-
lers and grafters into voting against
the man who has at all times been a
friend to the people and to the state.

pEMONSTRATOR WEBB SEEKS

County Farm Demonstration S. B.
webb is seeking to arouse interest of
the boys of Faulkner county in the
corn and cotton clubs and desires to
enroll at least 500 in that work this
year. The clubs are being formed
throughout the state, special agent
OF the United States department of
agriculture, T. M. Jeffords of Little
Rock, being in charge of the work. In
a letter to this paper Mr. Jeffords
says:
"At present writing it seems that
spring is here. Get that seed bed
ready Select seed corn very careful
ly. Your exhibit next fall will not be
so good if you used mixed seed Wait
till the ground warns up well before
planting. Corn will rot in cold, wet
ground. Better use commercial fer
tilizer or some fertilizer material. The
yield and quality of crop will be bet
ter, and you can compete for more
prizes. Be on the lookout for good
cotton seed Get the two acres ready
as soon as possible. Don't work the
soil when it is wet. If you do, it will
be cloddy all summer.
Remember, you are competing
with the best and brightest young
people in your county. You must be
on the job all the time if you win
some of the fine prizes this year. No
boys are enrolled in the corn or cot
ton clubs unless application blanks
sent you are filled out and returned.
If you fail to send reports as asked
for, you will be dropped. We can't
waste time on careless folks"
Referring to the above, Demonsra-
tor Webb says: Full directions and
all necessary blanks and information
can be obtained free on application to
me, either personally or by mail. To
be a corn club member, you must
plant one acre and to be a cotton club
member you must plant two acres.
Any boy over 9 and under 18 may
join
1--WE already have rs boys enrolled
and want to make it 500 Send your
names to me at once, as everybody
ought to get an early start. There
will be many valuable prizes, both
county and state, besides the big trip
to Washington. D. c."
The committee in charge of the
Faulkner county clubs is composed of
j. E. Little, chairman; C. E. Dur
ham, secretary and treasurer; O. j.
