 Little Rock.-Sufficient cattle wiR be raised in Arkansas within the next three or four years to supply two big packing plants of this city, if the farmers are given assurance that the market for their stock will be estab- lished, in the opinion of a local pack ing-house promoter, who proposes to establish a packing plant here. The cattle will not be raised, however, MT. Dreyfus said, unless the plants are established, as the market for cattle in this state is now so unsatis- factory that the raising of stock is discouraged.
 Mir Dreyfus declared that enough stock is now raised in the state to supply one packing plant of modrate size, and that as soon as this is es- tablished stock raising will be given such an impetus that ne supply will soon be sufficient for two big plants.
 Stock raisers in Arkansas are now at a big disadvantage" MT Dreyfus said, and they do not get enough for their cattle to justify them in going into the business on a big scale. Hogs, cannot be shipped well in hot weather. Cattle do somewhat better, but they have to be shipped such a distance that when they ar rive at the stock yards they do not look anything like they did when they were shipped
 The result is that the shippers do not get what they should for their cattle. The loss to the owner from this cause is at least $50 car. This has discouraged the raising of stock In Arkansas. If there were market for the cattle and hogs in Little Rock they should get here from any point in the state in from F to IS hours and they would get here in good shape"
 The building of any kind of a pack ing plant here would mean the ex- penditure of approximately $500,00e for cattle the first year. The plant would use all the cattle and hogs that could be obtained in the state. |
 The supply would be much greater the second year.
 The encouraging of stock raising would cause diversif1cation of crops. Instead if degoting all his land to cotton, the farmer would use at least half of it for pasture and grain rais- ing.
 Attention was called to the fact that many Northern farmers, who know absolutely nothing about grow 1 ing cotton, are coming to Arkansas. These farmers, he said, are accustom- ed to growing corn and wheat and raising stock.
 If one of these Northern men writer hack to his old neighbors that he has raised hogs for half what he can raise them for iu the North, as is the case" said MT. Dreyfus, but that he has nc market for them after he had raised them, that is not very good advertisement
 However, if he should write back and say that he had raised his hogs at half the cost and had a market for them at good prices, the neighbor would be inclined to think about coming to Arkansas"

Mentally unbalanced from heavy
drinking, respondent and melancholy
from not being able to restrain his
thirst, C. F. Herrick, SO years old, a
Storm Lake real estate dealer, commit
ted suicide Thursday, July Is, at the
Park Inn, Mason City. The body was
found with the artery in the right
wrist severed with a pen knife. in a
hotel there. He carefully removed the
rugs ard held the wound to the wash
basin while life ebbed. Eleven empty
bottles of Peruna we're found in the
room, together with note to his wife
and directions for the care of the body.
He leaves wife and two children, not
cent of money and his last valuable
possession, gold watch, pawned for
more Peruna. He had formed the
drug habit and couldn't break away
from it. 1t was the same old story of
booze getting the better of good man.
Herrick is divorced from his first wife.
but the children by that marriage are
grown and married. 1t is said unpleas-
ant domestic relations with his first

Slaughter in Prices.

Prices of meats and other foods con.
tinue to go higher and higher. So far
as necessities of life are concerned,
the world appears entering upon on of
the clean years" OF the early times.
Still, the optimist finds ground for
satisfaction, even gladness. For there
have been tremendous reductions in
certain market quotations, in which
widespread interest has been manifest
ed.
Two-fifty straw hats now range from
Is cents to 81. And great bargain
sale, perfect slaughter in prices, +"
is announced for tickets to the bull
moose national convention-all seats
heretofore held at $lO@25 now being
quoted at So.
With proper care, the marked.down
headgear may be held ready to do SER
vice next summer. Now is the time to
buy, as dealers announce the last cut
in prices.
1t remains for careful investors to
decide for themselves whether bull
moose tickets will show further slump
in rates. Further, the dear people"
in whose interests the convention pur-
ports to be called may hesitate still
about investing at all in that direction
when food is needed and so difficult to
obtain. Chicago Journal.

ADOPT NEW WOOL BILL
Twenty-four Republicans Help Demo
Gratis to Pass II Up.

washinton, Aug 5.-By vote Of
100 to 62 the house adopted the con-
ference report on the wool bill, TWEEN
ty-four republicans voting with the
democrats in its favor. Representa-.
tive Payne Of New York declared that
President Taft would veto the bill
when it was presented to him for his
signature.
Majority Leader Underwood declar'
ed the people had right to expect
that the president would sign the
measure. Basing his argument on
the report of the tariff board, Under
wood said the bill would give the
manufacturers . reasonable amount
of protection.
The bill represents an average re-
duction in existing duties OF 20 per
cent and is practically similar to the
measure President Taft vetoed last
summer.

Non Partisan Judiciary.

Some day we ought to come to a non
partisan judiciary in Iowa. This will not
suit the republican politicians as long
as the republicans are in power every
where as they are in this state. We
are continually talking about raising
the courts up to a higher plane. 1t is
regrettable in Iowa that many attor-
neys have been obliged to give up their
belief in democratic principles and
join the republican party to get a place
on the bench. Many of our best law
yers, who are democrats, will not sac
rifice their principles even to become
judges. The state is thus deprived of
their services, With the entire ma
chinery of the courts throughout the
state in the ,nds of republicans there
is tendency on the part of the young
attorneys to join party less for princi-
pie than preferment promised. In fact
it is well known that in some counties
the young lawyer who starts out as a
democrat politically does not have the
chances at the bar that the young re-
publican lawyer has. He rarely ever
becomes county attorney. Though
well read in the law he may not aspire
to the bench because it would be a use
less battle. The bench loses many a
good and true man because it is con.
trolled by politics. The elevation of
an attorney to the bench should be
based purely on the ground of fitness.
A Judge should never feel that he is
subservient to party. In Polk county
there have been many good lawyers
who have been democrats and who
would have served the county well as
judges. There have been many bright
young men who have not had the
chance to rise because they have not
been Sin" with the powers that be.
They havesseen young men of lesser
ability almost forced to the front by
the aid of politics. The two-ffths of
the voters in Polk county lwho are not
republicans are not represented on the
bench. The Capital believes judges
should be chosen by the people. 1t be-
lieves too that such choice might wise
ly be made without reference to a can
didate's politics. Des Moines Capital.

little more than a month ago Presi.
dent Taft was renominated over the
protest of many of those now lead
ing the third party movement.
Between LOO and 1900 delegates
are here to participate in the conven.
ton. Colonel Roosevelt is the only
man talked Of for the presidential
nomination, 1t IL conceded.
Who will be the nominee for vice
president has not yet been determin'
ed. Few of tn. leaders in the city will
discuss the subject of a running mate
for the colonel, declaring that it IL q
matter to be settled by the conven'
ton. It apparently is the determine
ton Of the leaders to refrain from an
nouncements Of any character before
the convention acts.
DO far only the temporary Officers
Of the convention have been named.
It was quite generally believed. how.
ever, that Col. John M. Parker, Of
New Orleans. Democrat, will be the
permanent chairman. For . time 1t
appeared to be the plan to retain
former Senator Albert ]. Beverage.
Of Indiana, the temporary chairman,
% the permanent presiding officer.
but 1t IL said that Mr.. Beveridge has
expressed desire to the contrary.
Many leaders Of the new party
movement, anxious to emphasize its
separation from the old parties. are
urging that the Democrats who have
Joined in the movement, particularly
from the South, should have special
recognition in the convention. There
has been much talk Of nominating .
southern Democrat for second place
on the ticket. but this plan did not
gain much Roadway. Governor Hiram
w. johnson, of California, still is talk
ed Of rs the most likely candidate
for vice president, and while he is not
. seeker for the ONCE. it is said he will
accept the nomination il the delegates
desire 1t.
More women delegates are expected
to attend the convention than have
appeared at any other national politi.
cal gathering. Colonel Roosevelt open
ly has espoused the cause Of univer-
sal suffrage.
