MAY ORGANIZE
ANOTHER BANK

s. o. Broach, who is here from
Kentucky with a view to locating in
Conway, is comforting with locai par
ties in regard to the organization Of
another bank in this city. Mr.
Rroach, who states that he has he'd
several years experience in the hank
ing business, says he believes there is
an opening for a third banking inst
tuition here and that it wouti pros
per without affecting the business of
the banks already in business here.
He plans to open the new institution
as trust company, giving it a wider
range of business than the regular
bank Mr.. Broach declares that he
is meeting with much encouragement.
He has not yet begun the work of Sc
curing subscriptions for stock, but
believes there viii be no difficulty in

who is in the city today. Mr.. Gun
ningham is the largest subscriber of
stock and is one of the principal pro-
moters of the new enterprise. He
says the subscriptions for stock al
ready total over $4,000 and $4,000
will probably be subscribed before
the organization is incorporated. A
mill capable of handling about 16
tons of seed per day, he states, can
be installed for about $4,000, and
the remainder of the capital win be
used as an operating surplus.

IMMENSE CROWD
HEARS DONACHEY

Governor Donaghey closed the first
day of whirhwind campaign in Sc
bastian county in Fort Smith tonight
when he addressed an audience that
/ filled the Grand opera house to its at
most capacity says Fort Smith
/ dispatch to the Gazette. 1t was one
I of the largest crowds that has ever
greeted a gubernatorial candidate in
this city. The governors address was
composed of the same remarks he has
been delivering throughout the state,
except that it was marked with more
/ fire than heretofore. His speech dis
tmctly captured the crowd, especially
his remarks on the last legislature.
The governor delivered five addresses
in this this county today, including
his Fort Smith appointment. He
spoke at Uursula, Lavaca, Central
and Barring.
Governor Donaghey and his OPP
ponent, Joe Robinson, came to Fort
Smith from Little Rock today on the
same train, but they did not meet un-
til they had almost reached this city.
They greeted each other warmly and
exchanged vigorous handshakes.
Neither mentioned politics. While Mr..
Robinson related his experience in a
wreck last Saturday, Governor Don
aehey presented him with a cigar"

GOV. DONACHFY'S
APPOINTMENTS
IN WHITE AND CLEBURNE
WILL MAIZE SIX SPEECHES
LAST TWO DAYS OF THIS
WEEK.

Governor Dona2hey, IN his cam
'paign for reelection. has made most
of his speeches in other portions of
the state and has been able to devote
but little time to the central portion
Iof Arkansas. On the last two days
Of the present week, however, he will
make six speeches IN White and Gle
Iburne counties, his appointments for
Friday and Saturday being as fol-
lows:
Jadsonia, March %, Il a. m.

Center Hill, March %, 7:30 p. m.
Rosebud, March %, 10 a. m.
Quitman, March %, 1870 p. m.
Heber Springs, March %, 7:3o

The governor will probably not de-
liver a campaign speech in his home
county, as only two days will remain
after the above dates before the pri-
mary, but many of his friends n the
northern and eastern portion of

The reply of Governor Donaehev
to the letter Of Congressman Robin

the polls IS regarded as one Of the
most effective documents OF the pres

primary election is legal election, it
would probably be contrary to the
law to have anyone present in the

Means a Vast Saving,

The purpose of the American Road
Congress which will consolidate the an
nual convention of the American Asscia-
ton for Highway improvements, the
American Road Builders Association,
the American Automobile Association,
and the National Association of Road
Material and Machinery Manufacturers,
is to crystalize the movement for i'm
proved highways throughout the United
States. The joint congress means the
consolidation of the whole road move
ment, with all the factors, farmers,
automobilists, engineers, manufacturers
and public officials pulling together in
the same direction. 1t means that there
is to be a great single force behind the
movement to bring the roads of the
United States up to the maximum of
efficiency.
Directors Page, of the United States
Office of Public Roads, who is a member
of the executive committee in charge of
the arrangements for the joint congress,
has prepared figures showing that the
improvement of the main highways of
the country, constituting about 20 per
cent of all public roads, would result in
an annual saving of at least $3.50, 900, coo
in the cost of hauling alone. An ad-
ditional saving would be effected by
minimizing the wear and tear on horses,
wagons, carriages, automobiles and
other vehicles; in the expeditions trans
portatIon of crops and the elimination of
waste n the shipment of truck farm
products. It is estimated that the a.
mount saved annually in the cost of
hauling alone would be sufficient to i'm
prove so, 600 miles of road at an average
cost of SIS. 900 per mile. In five years,
this would improve $50, 900 miles of road,
which would be sufficient to bring the
total mileage of improved highway up
to 20 per cent.
1t will be shown to the country at the
American Road Congress, which is to be
held in the Fall-the place and exact
time to be fixed lster-that the figures
showing the economic loss to the nation
from bad roads are extremely conserva-
tive. A system of good roads would
benefit the farmer first of all, but every
consumer, every tax payer, and the
government itself would be benefited
mas much as improved highways would
result in more even distribution of popu-
lation, cheaper transportation of crops,
which would lower the cost to the con-
sumner and give the farmer quicker &C.
cess to the city markets. The road
movement is fundamental reform and
will come to focus at the American
Road Congress.

Give Your Children Good Books to Read.

Believe me, you cannot leave your
children better heritage than a deep
and abiding love of books and a taste
for the best in literature. And you
must begin when they are little. Read
good books and poems to them and when
they get old enough to read for them
selves see what they are reading. Aside
from the fact that what a child reads
has a great effect on his character as an
adult, there will come times in the lives
of your children when a love and ap-
precistion of good books will brighten
hours of loneliness or enforced idleness
that would otherwise be dark and
gloomy indeed. To weep over the sor-
rows Of little Nell or David Copperfield,
or laugh at AR. Micawber or thrill at
the exploits Of Rob Roy or Iyanhoe or
Marmion will prove q panacea or dull
ness, yes, and grief too, and leave one
without any ruf1ed feelings such as in
tercourse with people sometimes gives.

Believe Bryan viii Become a Candidate,

The visit of William Jennings Bryan
to Washington last week and his con-
ferences with the various party leaders
there particularly in the Senate, was fol-
lowed by widespread discussion of the
possibility that the distinguished Nebr-
askan might again be the democratic
candidate for President.
Mr.. Bryan frankly stated to inter
viewers that he was not candidate for
the nomination in any sense of the word
and that it was was difficult for him to
conceive of any circumstances under
which he might be a candidate. He said
there was plenty of other progressives
in the party from whom a selection
could be made.
Despite these public utterances, some
democratic Senators in discussing their
informal talks with Mr.. Bryan, were in
clined to believe that under certain con-
ditions Mr.. Bryan would not decline the
nomination.
In short, the impression was left that
if Colonel Roosevelt should be the re-
publican nominee, Mr.. Bryan would like
once more to take the field against him.
1t looks like Roosevelt against Bryan
once more. "

NEW REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

There seems to be an entirely new
alignment in the republican party in
Lake County. New leaders have been
developed in nearly every important
political center in the county. These
leaders seem to have come to an I'M
derstanding with each other which
presages a unified and centralized
management of party affairs during
the present campaign.
These republican leaders, who are
already cognizant of their powers, are
pleased to know that they encounter
ed so little opposition in effecting the
reorganization OF the party ma
chinery.
They should recognize the fact,
however, that their tenure of power
as the representatives of the entire
republican party in Lake County. will
continue only so long as they faith
fully represent the whole party.
The employment of steam roller
tactics for the elimination of worthy
candidates, who may not have been
able to edge into the inner circle, po-
litical trickery, frameups that result
in the nomination of men unfit for
the responsibilities of public Office
will quickly terminate the leadership
of these men.
On the other hand if the new party
leaders take the broad patriotic view
that political parties are merely tas
agencies by which our government i.
formed, that in the last analysis ths
leaders of these parties are RESPONSE
BILE to the people that in this new
and growing community the greai
| overshadowing issue is the selection
of honest capable men for publi'
Office, then their leadership will b,
prolonged.
| Just as soon as the rank and fill
of the republican party in LAX
| County becomes convinced that it
management has degenerated into tn
management of the party by politi
clans for the furtherance of ulterio
political ends and the qualification o
purely personal ambitions; then tn
demand for new leaders and a ney
organization will become insistent.
