LOCAL MILITIA GETS
TRIP TO ALEXANDRIA
co. A WILL LEAVE CONWAY
FOR A 10-DAYS' ENCAMP-
MENT ON JULY 81.

Capt. o. D. Longstreth of the local
militia company is in receipt of gen.
eral orders advising that the COM
pany has been transferred to the
First Arkansas regiment and is or
dered to proceed on July 27 to Alex
andria, La, for 10 days encampment
and drill. The Conway company is
now known as Company A, First
Regiment.
When first mustered in the compa-
my was designated Company F of the
First regiment and was afterwards
made Company G of the Second regi-
ment. The Prescott company having
been mustered out, the local soldiers
were promoted to their present posi-
ton in the state guard
The company will leave here for
Alexandria at 6:20 p. M, July 81 At
Little Rock they will take a special
train, arriving in Alexandria on July
%. They will go into camp with 49,
1000 troops from the regular army,
Louisiana and Texas and engage in
| field maneuvers and drills until Aug

given the mlitiamen at the regular
drill tonight.
Capt. Longstreth says the company
is rapidly establishing itself on a
firm basis by wedding out incompe-
tents and enlisting new and better
men. The passage of the new army
bill is awaited with much interest, as
this bill provides that all members of
the state guards will receive one
fourth the pay of soldier in the
regular army and be required to drill
not less than 40 hours week. Off
GERS will receive from 10 to Is per
cent of the pay of regular army off

dria will receive full regular army
pay for their time and will have all
their expenses paid.

PROGRESS IN WEST:
NONE IN [HF EAST
FIELDS ARE IN THE GRASS
HEAVY RAINS DAMAGED COT
TON CROP EAST OF MIS-
SISSIPPI RIVER.

Memphis, July 15.-The CONNER
cial Appeals weekly summary of cot
ton conditions issued today says:
Weather conditions west of the
Mississippi river were favorable to
the growing cotton crop during the
past week, and from good to splendid
progress was made in that locality.
East of the river the weather was
unfavorable, too much rain having
fallen, and the plant made little pro-
gress. What progress was made in
parts of this district was offset by
actual deterioration in other parts,
so that in the entire area east of the
river the crop might be said to have
stood still during the week.
"Of course, there is good cotton in
cotton is making progress. But heavy
rains have damaged cotton in the
lowlands of all that territory. The
plant is in the weeds, generally
speaking, and is developing a slend-
er, sappy stalk. However, it is the
oopinion of most correspondents that
much, if not all, the damage done so
far by the wet weather may be over
come by good growing and cultivat-
ing weather from now on. Hot wealth
er, with plenty of sunshine, is neces-
sary for the proper advancement of
the crop. Plant is fruiting fairly
well and many bolls reported.
''In the west the crop made pro-
gress that as whole was above nor
NAL. Warm weather, with plenty of
sunshine, and with the ground we'll
supplied with moisture, proved to be
just what the crop most needed, and
splendid growth was made Some
parts are getting dry, and while a
rain would be beneficial, little dam
age will accrue from continuation
of the dry weather for another week
at least. Cultivation is well advanc-
ed and fields are clean. The plant is
fruiting well and bolls are appearing

PLATFORMS AND NATIONAL
HEALTH,

The trainers of the platform of the
Republican National Convention did
not see fit to make any definite decla-
ration on the subject of national
Bureau or Department of Health.
For this omission there are two pos
sible explanations: Either they did
not consider the subject of sufficient
to be worthy of mention,
or they feared the antagonism of the
interests and sects which, either
through selfshness or ignorance,
have opposed this measure. On the
contrary, the trainers of the plat
form for the Democratic party placed
in it strong and comprehensive en-
dorsement of national health SER
vice. The plank is straightforward
endorsement of the principles of the
present Owen bill. 1t reads:
1--WE reaffirm our previous decla-
rations advocating the union and
Strengthening of the various govern
mental agencies relating to pure
foods, quarantine, vital statistics and
human health. Thus united and adj
ministered without partially to or
discrimination against any school of
medicine or system of healing, they
would constitute single health SER
vice, not subordinated to any COM
merercial or financial interests, but
devoted exclusively to the conserva-
ton of human life and efficiency.
Moreover, this health service should
cooperate with the health agencies
of our various states and cities with
out interference with their preroga-
tives or with the freedom of individ-
uals to employ such medical or hy-
gienic aid as they may see fit"
The plank in the Democratic plat
form evidently meets the approval of
the Journal of the American Medical
Association. In recent issue it
says, commenting on this statement j:
"There is nothing vague about this
lit is concise and Straightforward,
with no attempt at ambiguity"
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1912-07-15

so far the damage from this sougce
has been inconsequential. Scattering
reports of other insect damage were
made, but they are hardly worthy of
consideration"
The condition in Arkansas is sum-
married as follows:
Warm, open weather made for
the improvement of both plant
growth and cultivation. Cultivation
was rushed, and, while some fields
are still in the grass, the work is go
ing on rapidly and a few more days
of open weather will suffice to clean
AN fields. The plant made good
growth and blooms and fruit are re-
ported from practically all over the
state, although there is still COM
plant from some localities of small
cotton. A few reports of boil weevi1.

questions solved. That thought will
have to serve you for consolation
That was hardly the consolation
that would satisfy impetuous youth
and zeal in accomplishment.
But Harlan had been learning les
sons in consolation.
The thought of Glare Kavanagh was
with him nigh. and day. In spite of
all his searching she remained hidden.
He did not contide his grief to any
one. 1t brought pallor to his face and
listlessness in the daily duties that
bore upon him. Governor Weymouth
took note at last. And when the young
man asked for permission to go home
to the north country for time he re-
luctantly sent him away.
On the eve of his departure, which
had been announced by Il press that
now followed his movements with the
attention accorded to man of impor-
lance in state affairs, he obeyed a
summons from Madeleine Presson.
She put a letter into his hands. 1t was
addressed to Glare Kavanagh
"You will find her, Harlan" she
said comfortingly. Love will search
her out And when you find her give
her this letter. There are words from
woman to woman that woman under.

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Thelismer Thornton, locally known
as Duke of Canibas," for fifty years
boss of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson, Harlan, to the leg
lslature as his successor. The reform
ers in his district, who are called
"Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led by Iyus Niles, Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan is unwilling to be
a candidate, but his grandfather in
s1StS. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton and Clare's IA
Their try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers are in control of the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
pede them by starting a forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the fire, learns Of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that he will
decline it because it was dishonesty
procured
However, the duke gets him to run
for the office, settles with farmers who
lost by the forest fire and practically
assumes management of the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Clare,
who, gowned and gloved, looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay a
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order to beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
leine Presson. Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
ing upon writing his own platform
and upon a rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory law. They refuse to nom
mate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth, who
learns that Spinney has been bribed to
retire by Thornton, Presson and 9th
ers. Weymouth compels them to NOM
mate him, and Harlan shares in his
victory. Weymouth declares he will
enforce the prohibitory law, but he
rebuffs the Ramrodders." He makes
Harlan his chief of staff for the cam
paign. Glare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated.
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him, and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals. Weymouth is elected. Harlan
proposes marriage to Madeleine, but
gets no reply. Governor Weymouth
makes Harlan sponsor for drastic
prohibition law. Linton, one of Made
leine's suitors, insists that Harlan cease
being her escort because Spinney has
circulated scandalous story about
Harlan and Clare Harlan thrashes
Linton in Clare's presence and declares
that he will marry Clare

evade. He promptly issued statements
to the press, holding those men up to
the people of their state as traders and
tricksters, Voters had always UNDER
stood that trades and tricks were in
progress in the legislature and had
never bothered their heads much about
the matter. But this incisive showing
up OF individuals was new and star
ting and effective. 1t afforded no OPP
portunity for the specious reasoning
along mere political lines which had
excused dishonesty in the past.
Protests poured in on the would be
rebels. Their experience warned the
others. The state was in mood to
try reform. The reform was promised
on the usual broad lines. Individuals
did not stop to reflect what effect the
suggested legislation would have on
their own interests. Every man was
after the other fellow"
III keep you here until you pass
these laws stated the grim old man
in the executive chamber, even if you
stay here till snow flies again.
Legislators are paid by the session,
not by the week. The prospect of
spending the summer fighting an OBJ
stinate old man, with the people be-
hind him, was not alluring when per
Sonal expenses were considered. Even
lobbyists and corporations and polit-
Ical considerations fail to hold sway
under such conditions.
The governors bills went through.
Harlan made a speech in their favor,
urging his associates to pass them as
a means of regenerating the Repub-
leans.
When the legislature finally adjourn
ed the protestations that had been
wrung out of it promised much in the
way of honest reorganization.
Harlan Thornton remained with Gov
ernor Weymouth for time His ex-
cellency found him indispensable.
The commissions were at work.
Taxpayers squirmed; ofiiceholders
whined. Honesty was greeted every
where by wry faces.
But the "rhornton law" it's deputies
superseding county and city authority,
was the bitterest political pill of all.
The results discouraged the righteous.
Governor Weymouth predicted them
accurately with the old age cynicism
of one who understood human nature.
The f1agrantly open places were closed.
But innumerable dives thereby secured
the business which had gone to the
open places in the days of federation.
An army could not have closed the
dives, the proprietors of which, in
most cases, carried their villainous
connections on their persons. The peo-
pie themselves began to complain of
the cost of the new system of enforce
ment-the money paid to make them
obey their own laws. When their com
plants We're loudest the governor al
lowed himself the luxury of smile.
Reform for the mass. Admirable!
Reform for the individual Atrocious
infringement of personal liberty!
II cannot make them good" he said
to Harlan. But l can give them such
a picture Of their own iniquity that
