Fiddling Bob's Best Story

He was President Taft's favorite
storyteller. Once the president want

spun one yarn, "and after that" said
one OF the other senators who was
on the trip, none of us could get a

The President Losing Ground

dents supporters that the party is
going 10 face a crisis al Chicago
The New York Sun, the most bitter
OF Colonel Roosevelt's opponents, said
few days ago:
The situation concerning Tart,
Roosevelt and Hughes has become
more pronounced within the last few
days, and especially has ii become
subject for serious consideration on
the part OF Republicans who believe
their party TO be OF vastly more I'M
portance than any man in ii, no mat
ter how exalted his station, and who
place party loyalty above personal
fealty. These Republicans declare
that they will take any reasonable
step which would seem to insure their
party's victory al the polls in Novem-
Der next The Republicans who ex-
pressed these views are believers, In
season and out OF season, in the pol
icies of their party.
Referring 10 the trouble In the par
" over the tariff, Canadian reclproc-
ity and many other issues, and 10 the
attitude toward the president OF sen
ators like Bristow, Cummins, LaFol-
lette and others of the progressive
school, the Sun says:
II has been this discord, these COM
plications, that have led Republicans
entirely friendly to the president 10
declare that while he could force his
own denomination IL was exceedingly
doubtful If he could be reelected.
With such verdicts as are being
brought in by states that are the very
citadels OF Republlcanism none but
the blind can fail to see that the pres
ident's denomination means a rout at
the polls.
Colonel Roosevelt, whether he can
be nominated OF not. is the only man
capable OF gathering enough strength
to make the Chicago convention stop,
look and listen.
The issue that is now before the
Republican voters OF Maryland Is not
so much one OF Taft VS.. Roosevelt as
II is whether they are satisfied with
the outlook for the party at the No

The victory of Senator LaFollette
in his home state was more sweeping
than was anticipated and consequent
" much more significant.
1t is one more indication OF fact
becoming palmer and palmer day by
day, that President Taft is out OF step
with the progressive sentiment OF his
party and that the great states OF the
central west, which are counted on
TO give him the votes in the Electoral
college necessary TO elect, have COM
pletely broken away from him.
When the Republican voters or

Eloquent Epitaph

Some years ago when Springfield
was a thriving town in Southwestern
Kansas, a maiden lady went out there
to teach school She was very de-
vout; also very thin. In fact. SO thin
that she would have TO stand twice
in the same place on sunshiny day
in order TO make a shadow. Finally
fatal malady struck her On her
death-bed she made all her funeral
arrangements and told the folks that
all she wanted on her tombstone was
her name, date of birth and death,
and this one line: Lord, she was
thine"
The details Of the funeral and in
scription' were carried out in accord
ance with her wish except that the
tombstone man was a poor spelier,
and made the line on the tombstone
read: Lord. she was thin. kansas

Despite its bereavements,
The high cost OF living,
And taxes galore,
Psychological moments
Now crowd our attention,
The favorite sons
Bear the brunt OF the tight;
And personal histories
All receive mention.
And scandals long buried
Are dragged into light
With Infamous falsehoods

BRIEF SKETCH OF CITY
CITY of Little Rock Was Built in Midst
of Wilderness.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rock.-FolloWing is a brief
history OF Little Rock, the capital city
of Arkansas. showing it's growth since
it's sediment:
In 1920 Little Rock or Pete Roche,
as the Indians called it, consisted OF
two houses, one a lean-to and the
other a log house.
The first sermon was preached by
the Rev. Cephas Washburn in the log
house in 1920. The first white woman
also came 70 the city In the year 1920.
From these two houses the settle
ment grew and spread along the river
and a few blocks back from it. The
principal means of access was by
water and trails through the woods.
In 1880 the city had gradually eX-
tended it's borders till it had dimen.
sion of about five blocks wide and
nine blocks long counting from the
outlying houses. The business Sec
ton of town had been built along the
leyee which was then where every
body landed when they came to the
city. The principal business street
was Markham street. Along about this
time property sold for only a few dol
lars and acre and today is as high as
100000 lot.
In 1S47 the government erected an
arsenal building in what is today a
city park of sc acres.
Erection of the old capitol building
was started in 1888 and finished in
1910 at cost of $15S,379. There has
been recently an organization staSted
for the purpose of preserving this his.
toric building for a state museum.
The land where the new state CAPT.
toll building now stands was bought
in 1910 for $40 an acre and this price
was considered excessive, today this
property is worth many thousand of
dollars When purchased this land
lay a distance of half a mile beyond
the outskirts of the city and was used
to build the penitentiary on.
The Masons were the first to or.
ganize in the city, they established a
lodge in 1887. The l. O. O. F. in 1S49,
Knights of Honor in 1877, Knights of
Pythias in 1881 and the W. O. W. in
1892.
The city has gradually grown till it
covers miles intead of blocks. The
business section has left the old
Markham street district and extended
along Main street and it's tributaries,
The old levee still stands and occa.
sionally boats anchor there. There
is now a movement on foot to reopen
the river traffic as in the old days
when palatial river steamers piled the
river.
Many of the historical old buildings
still stand and are in use today.
The city at the last federal census
had poulation of $4,000, but con
sideration must be given to the fact
that the city OF Argenta had been sep:
arated from it. Argenta has popu.
lati0n of about 100000.

COLLECTING BACK TAXES
Attorney General Is Preparing to
Bring Many Suits in Court.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Suits for back taxes aggregatlng
many thousands of dollars will be
filed within the next few days by At
torney General Norwood against a
large number of corporations which,
it is alleged, have failed to assess their
property upon a fair valuation during
the past few years.
1t is expected that about 80 suits
will be instituted at this time, and
that others will follow later.
The information upon which these
suits are based was furnished to the
attorney general by the State Tax
Commission. Under section 1904 of
Kirby's Digest, the attorney general
is required to institute suits when such
information is furnished him. The
Tax Commission is preparing other
statements, naming additional corpora
lions alleged to be in arrears, and
these will be filed with the attorney
general as soon as they are completed.

PLEASED WITH SCHOOLS
Joe T. Robinson Compliments Guard
Officers on Their Interest.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rock.-Congressman Joe T..
Robinson, Democratic nominee for
governor, was in Little Rock and visit
ed the officers school of instruction
for the Arkansas National Guardsmen
now being held at Fort Logan H.
Roots. Mr.. Robinson spoke highly of
the interest displayed by the national
guard officers in the school, and said
he hoped the Arkansas militia would
make an even better showing in the
encampment to be held at Alexandria,
La, than when at Leon Strings In 1910.
There is prevailing sentiment
among the officers now attending the
school in favor of having the state
appropriate money to build armories
for the different companies in the
next year. This, the officers say, would
encourage the members of the militia
to devote more time and would be a
long step toward the decreasing of
the large number of men now neces.
sary in the regular army.
