Death of 7. C.. Davis.

From the Fort Smith Times Record
The city was shocked Sunday
morning, the 10th, by the news
that Thomas g. Davis, president
of Reynolds Davis Grocery Co.,
was dead. and the shock was i'll
tensified short while later by
the report that he had died by
his own hand.
Whether the shot that ended
his life was accidental or fired In
a moment of alteration of mind
will never be known in this
world. The public knew him as
"Tomn Davis. He still possessed
that youthfulness of spirit that
made any more former appelation
appear ont of place, knew him as
an even tempered, pleasant
spoken gentleman, who always
greeted his acQuaintances with a
sincerely cordial smile, and it
was impossible for them to con
ceive of his ending his life. A
few intimate friends knew, how
ever, that, especially during the
last week he has been subject to
spells Ofmental depression. Dur
inc the last few weeks he had re.
marked frequently to his friends;
II am a much sicker man than
people think"
In order to recuperate his
health "a sea voyage from Calves
ton 10 New York had been plan
ned by Mr.. Davis and his family.
Sunday morning Mr.. Davis, ac'
companied by his daughter, Miss
Louise Davis, and DIR. ID. NJ.
Gardner, were to have gone to
Hot Springs TO spend few days.
Mr.. Davis and daughter were to
go from Hot Springs to Calves
ton, where they would be joined
by Mrs. Davis and Miss Lucy.
Sunday morning he came down to
an early breakfast, fully dressed,
and greeted the members of his
family as usual, saying he had for
gotten something; he went up
stairs to his bedroom aud a mo-.
ment later the family was startled
by pistol shot.
Rushing upstairs the family
found Mr.. Davis lying on the
floor, a bullet wound in his right
temple, the pistol, which had rob-
bed him Of his life, lying 10y his
side. lie died without speaking.

WHERE TO FIND THE NEWS.

The morning organ Of special interests wanted Taft
to carry Idaho that but this morning shook off its long
sleep sufficiently to what the Capital News
nounced week ago. Wilson secured the electoral vote Of
this state After publishing column editorial "Appre
citation of Taft week ago in which his in this
state acclaimed, that paper published several more
columns OF selflaudaory matter concerning the super
iority'' of its election service.
All of this is well enough it did not turn out in every
campaign that nothing but the widest guesses being
INDUCED in Of which sufficiently accurate
enough to make it possible for that paper to forecast who
is elected and of which not accurate
that though instead of stating trthfuy that such cleo
ton is doubt the direct and definite claim is made as
the result.
The first announcement made by the Capital News on
the electoral vote of the state that in doubt
with good chance for the vote to be divided but with the
chances favorng Wilson Later it announced that there
was practical certainty that Wilson would receive the
states votes and this is the only information the people
of Idaho have had upon the subject until week later the
morning paper decides to accept the announcement made
by the Capital News and informs its readers of the
cient news
This is the difference between publishing the news and

Of the Democratic nomination Of a do
nothing candidate (such as Ryan and
Belmont favored) would probably have

Roosevelt did in relation to the Re.

In that case, we should have had q
Progressive victory unalloyed.
But since the Democrats. with theil

vision OF the vote on the percentages
baeis:
Taft SO per cent
Wilson ...................s per cent
Roosevelt ..... ..........1 II per cent
In short. President TAFT received
more votes In these counties than
Roosevelt ana wilson combined. II IL
doubtful n anywhere else.in the Unit
ed States President Taft showed such
surprising strength ~ In these seven
Mormon counties Of Idaho. Taft comes
out Of the Mormon counties with a
clear lead over Wilson of between
1000 and 5000 votes and over Roose-
welt Of 5000 votes.
Comparing this division OF the vote
with that OF north Idaho a wholly Diff
ferent condition il shown. The pres
idential vote of the eight northern
counties is divided on the following
pc, centages:
Wilson AZ per cent
Taft per cent
Roosevelt ................24 per cent
This may be considered remark
able showing for Colonel Roosevelt
when 1t II recalled that the Roosevelt
electors were not on the ballot and the
tE"urands Of voters who wanted to
vote for Roosevelt had to write four
names on the ballot.
Considering the governorship race
the present returns indicate that G.
FL Martin carried but. three counties
ir the state-Ada. Canyon and Bonner.
1t Il q peculiar fact that Ada county,
the home OF both Hawley and Haines
| repudiated both by going strongly for
Martin, while Bonner. the home coun-
| ty Of Martin, gave the Progressive
candidate good plurality.
Martin. however, did not carry the
north. The Progressive state ticket
was at q disadvantage in not having
its presidential electors on the ticket
ana in some cases. particularly Koo-
tena, county. the Progressive state
! ticket was still further handicapped by
a Progressive county ticket. This
caused two Progressive tickets to be
placed on the ballot in this county and
resulted in endless confusion to the
| voters.
The division Of the vote in nortt
Idaho on the governorship shows tn,
fo,iowing percentages:
James H. Hawley (Dem.) "A per cen,
John M. Haines (Rep). -. 80 per cent
g. H. Martin (Prog). .23 per CEN
| As the seven Mormon counties piled
up q big vote for President Taft they
also piled up a big vote for John M
Haines. the Republican candidate fol
governor. and Indications are tina
these counties went straight down tn
line for the Republican ticket. The di
vision Of the governorship vote in tn,

or course, there were many
things in the new environment which
surprised and interested her. and 1t was
a pleasure to hear her naive com
ments, but the one comment which in
terested me far above all the Others
was this: "The women that I have
met here are always talking about
how to keep ones husband faithful, as
If that were the chief problem a woman
had to worry about. Why, in my home
a woman's chief problems were A.
nances and children and making a
comfortable home, and things like that.
The women in our town were true to
their husbands and expected as much
of them. There were one or two men
that people said went around with
other women, but that was considered
terrible disgrace. We never ex-
pected It to happen right in our own
families the way you do here"
Seems to me that the little country
mouse has struck a note that needed
to be sounded. In the last 10 or 10
years women's eyes have been opened;
they have ceased to be the blind and
trusting wives, mothers and sisters
they used to be. And that I think
is well. But is 1t not possible that
some of us have opened our eyes al
together too wide and are seeing q
much more gloomy state Of affairs than
really exists?
A young married woman asserted to
me that she did not believe that more
than 25 per cent of married men were
faithful to their wives.
