PRoNouNs AND PROMISES.

Chicago Journal: Mr. Roosevelt's q
speech at the coliseum. reciting the
things we must do to be saved, proves
that his staying power In the matter
of words is as wonderful as ever. The
speech contains about four times as
many words as Washin gton's farewell
address, and also proves that Mr..
Roosevelt still regards himself as the
most important individual In the uni
verse. The pronoun "I'' appears thir.
ty-six times in one paragraph.
Aside from the personal pronouns,
the matter Of the speech may be
grouped in three classes.
First-Fierce denunciations OF
everybody else in the political field.
Second-Vague demands for social
Justice" couched in such language that
they can be interpreted to mean any
thing or nothing, as the exigencies
Of the future shall dictate.
Third-Specif1c demapds for changes
which, whether wise or not. can at
least be enacted into law, and meas
ured against Mr.. Roosevelts words
and deeds Of an earlier day.
The query which will occur to every.
one is: Why did Mr.. Roosevelt fail
to discover the need of the reforms he
now champions while he was In the
white house, and able to forward those
reforms?
Mr.. Roosevelt now demands down.

the seven and half years of unparal
leled power which he enjoyed In the
presidency, Mr.. Roosevelt never al.
lowed the tariff to get within shooting
distance of revision. He was a stand.
patter.
Mr.. Roosevelt now denounces the
crime Of making men work seven
days in the week. During the entire
term Of his office men worked seven
days a week for the great Morgan in
terests'' to which he was so friendly,
and during the present campaign steel
trust barons, who are the chief seven
day Offenders. are Mr. Roosevelt's
chief financial hackers.
Mr.. Roosevelt is now frantically In
favor of woman suffrage, and OF the
initiative, referendum and recall. But
while he was president Mr. Roosevelt
dismissed woman suffrage as unim-
portant if true, and IL he mentioned
the initiative, referendum and recall,
it was to condemn them as anarchis.
tic.
Thus one could 90 down the list.
Mr.. Roosevelt favors just two classes
of things In his most recent speech.
One class comprises everything which
would tend to make our government a
bureaucratic despotism, and the other
class comprises the reforms which he
neglected, opposed or denounced when
he was president.
The question is whether Mr.. Roose-
welt has forgotten, or whether he
thinks the people have.
In this cold world men are judged,
not By what they promise, but BY

Growth Of Commission Government

In Duluth there is very definite SEN

the United States under the commits
sion form. There have been no back
ward steps in the movement. 1t is one
OF the most practical municipal re-

A NEW ABSTRACT COMPANY.

The art of making abstracts of title
 to lands and town lots is no longer confined to one firm in Garland county. It has not been generally known that for the last six months a new firm
 has been continuously at work on
 the Garland county records at the
 court house, taking each and every deed, mortgage, release, tax sale. lien, judgmen. and decree and indexing
 them into the most complete and up
 to date system of abstracting that has ever been invented.
 The name of the new company is Hot Springs Abstract and Guaranty Company, and the compiling and sys- tematizing of this new system of ab- stracts is being conducted by w. H. Harry. the manager of the company, assisted by his wife and son.
 MT. Harry is an expert abstractor
 and has had long training in abstract work. and only last year completed d set of abstract books of Saline county, this state, and sold same to Mir. Geo. K. Buzbee, who Is now enjoying a profitable business at Benton.
 MT. Harry's first experience in ab- stract work was in making a set of abstract books in Iroquois County, H. linois, large and populous county, where there was over three hundred volumes of the county records to ab- stract and systematize in shape for
 use. Previous and up to which time MT. Harry had been engaged in the practice of the law.
 MT. Harry came south in the spring of 1899, and settled in the state of Arkansas and has been continuous
 resident and citizen of this state ever since.
 The Hot Springs Abstract and Guar anty Company is using the A. w.
 Estes system of abstracts, which sys- | tenn is owned and controlled by the Arkansas Guaranty Title and Trust | Company of Little Rock, Ark, and | which last named company is con nected with the new Hot Springs Alb stract Company.
