TO THE DEMOCRATS WHO RE-
WE'RE The CONSTITUTION.

know that in this wide country
there are many who call themselves
Democrats, who view, with the same
aversion that we Republicans do, the
radical propositions of change in our
form of government that are reck-
qessly advanced to satisfy what is
supposed to be popular clamor They
are men who revere the constitution
and the institutions of their govern
.nent with all the love and respect
that we could possibly have, men who
deprecate disturbance in business con-
ditions, and are yearning for that
quiet from demagogic agitation which
is essential to the enjoyment by the
whole people Of the great prosperity
which the good crops and the pres
ent conditions ought to bring to US.
To them | appeal, as to all Republi-
cans, to join us in an earnest effort
TO avert the political and economic
revolution and business paralysis
which Republican defeat will bring
about. Such misfortune will fall most
heavily on the wage Garner. May we
not hope that he will see what his
real interest is, will understand the
shallowness of attacks upon existing
institutions and deceitful promises OF
underlined benefit by underlined
changes?- Speech of Accept
alce of President Taft, August /,

The small town is too easy. But the

Boston or San Francisco-no matter
what city, SO long as it's big and busy

comes to her gates and takes him IN,
and she stands him in the middle OF
her market place7-where Wall street

him naked of all his DISCUSSES and all
his hypocrisies and she paints his am.

sky-scrapers with it. What he wants
to be and what he thinks he is, and
then she says to him: Make good
if you can, or to hell with YOU" and

can't lie. / know because I've tried.

IOWA REPUBLICAN.

President Taft without a doubt
will carry Iowa in the November cleo
ton" said Luther A. Brewer today
when asked to his opinion of the po-
litical situation in the state. Mr..
Brewer is secretary of the Iowa Lea.
que OF Taft clubs, an organization
that is engaged in looking after the
interests of the national republican
ticket in Iowa. A great amount of
work has already been done by this
organization. Several of the counties
have been looked after down to the
precincts, faithful republican work
er in each precinct having indicated
his willingness to look after the in
terests of Taft in his precinct. A
similar organization Is being formed
by the league in other counties, and
ut is expected that within 4 week or
ten days every county will have
live committee at work for the repub-
lican party and republican principles.
Mr.. Brewer further said: From all
parts of the state We get most en-
couraging reports. There is d feeling
of confidence that Iowa will remain
in the republican column. When far
mers can get ten cents or better for
beef cattle, seven to nine cents for
hogs, and seventy cents for corn they
are going to hesitate long time be-
fore voting for change that may re-
suit in altering these conditions.
Labor in all lines is renumeratively
employed. And no lalboring man
wants to take chances on return to
the times of 1892 and 1893. Our pos.
tive information is that both the
farmer and the labor IN other lines
propose to cast their votes for con-
tinuance of the party in power under
which these favorable conditions have
been brought about.
That we are speaking Of our own
knowledge is illustrated by an Incl
dent that occurred in this city few
days ago among a lot of men in our
local railroad yards. AS they were
eating their lunch some one suggest
ed vote for president be taken. 1t
resulted in 10 for Taft and for Will
son. Men from the farming communi-
ties write US every day assuring us
of their loyalty to the republican
ticket, and giving us the further in
formation that many old time demo
Gratis. satisfied with prssel rrcsls,
ity, are going to do all they can for
its continuance.
You may take it from me that 1
am firm in the conviction that Taft
will carry Iowa by a very satisfactory
majority
An air of activity and of confidence
prevails about the Taft state head
quarters in this city. Taft clubs are
being formed in many portions of the
state. A large amount of literature
is on hand, and this is being sent out
as rapidly as possible to individual
lists of voters The league has list
of some thirty speakers upon whom
it can call for talent at any time, a
number of important bookings have
been made, and during the month Of
October there will be speaking all
over the state. Requests are made
daily for speakers and the league
feels itself fortunate in being able to
meet promptly all these calls.

Maine heard the best arguments
which could be made against the
tariff and the Republican party. and
then it cast its ballots for both The
first talk which Professor Wilson
made outside of his state after his
nomination was to a gathering of
farmers, and to them he told some of
the things which his party would do
II IT should elect him and a Demo
cratic house and senate. His words
were sort of keynote for Marshall,
Clark and the rest of the talented
Democrats who acclaimed before
Maine audiences of farmers The de-
feat OF Governor Plaisted and the
plurality of over 5000 for the head of
the Republican ticket, with an Incl
dental gain of a Republican congress
man and Republican United States
senator, is Names answer to the
Democratic plea.
For the Democrats the September
result in the Pine Tree state has an
element OF ins.ructiveness,s says the
Democratic Brooklyn Eagle 1t adds
that Candidate Wilson is entirely
right In making it clear that he is for
radical and unhesitating reform by
downright revision" The Eagles
counsel to Wilson is correct As free
trader the candidate should talk free
trade doctrine. But he can not fool
the farmers thereby They are not
quite SO verdant as some people sup
pose. The tariff is an old subject and
the farmers know more about it than
Professor Wilson thinks. A Demo
cratic presidential candidate third
Iof century ago disparaged the tariff
as matter OF national concern, and
said that it was mere local question.
The schoolmaster treats the issue a
little more seriously than did the gen
eral but his i'll luck will hardly be
less. He is honest and innocent, just
as General Hancock was, and he is
likely to meet the fate which hit

FAMOUS SPEECH FROM THE
HITvI

CITY,
Lines in the Fitch play which have
inspired numerous editorials.
Clyde Fitch's splendid play, The
City" in which Hugo B. Koch appears
has as its central theme the lure of the
bright lights of the metropolis for the
boy and girl raised in the country or
small town. 1t sa problem which
many homes have faced Fitch I'M
doubleday aimed to be fair in his
treatment of the subject. One of his
characters launches into a powerful
defense of the city. 1t is often been
quoted and has been used as the
basis for numerous newspaper editor
ials. The famous speech is as fol-
lows:
NO. You're all wrong. Let's be
honest with ourselves today. Don't
blame the city, it's not her fault. It's
our own. What the city does is to
bring out what's strongest in us. II
at heart we're good, the good in us
Will win. If the bad, God help us.
Don't blame the city. She gives the
man his opportunity. It's up to him
and what he makes of it. A man can
live in small town all his life, and
deceive the whole place and himself
into thinking he's got all the virtues,

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
 Insect Taught to Its Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the sheepherders and highland peasants never get tired repeating. A long time ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland before that country became a part of England, and he learned a lesson from a spider that enabled him to succeed when otherwise he would have failed.
 King Bruce had lost many battles. He was discouraged. He had made his final effort against his enemies and failed to vanquish them. Deep In despair he went to lonely room in his castle Reclining on the couch and thinking, he happened to notice a spider drop from the ceiling on a single silken cord. He watched the spider fascinatedly. It now began its ascent. It slipped. Time and time again it tried to mount, but each time 1t failed. The king watched intently, forgetful of all else. An hour passed. Finally the spider succeeded It was an inspiration for King Bruce. Why should he get discouraged, having tried only few times and failed? He made one last grand rally against his enemies and routed them, and from this incident came the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed try again"

 Residents of Camden recently peti- toned the commission to change the time of departure of this train, and in view of the large number of protests filed with the commission from resi- dents of England, Dewitt, Stuttgart, Fordyce, Rison, Scotts, as well as from the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce of Little Rock, against the change, the commission decided against the Camden petition. The mem- bers were of the opinion that to shorten the time of this train would destroy it's usefulness, work a hard ship on the general public.

 Petitions sufficient to secure the submission of three additional meas ures of a general nature in the Sep tember election were filed in the Of fee of the secretary Of state on the last day allowed. It is now assured that eight general measures will be voted upon in the September election under the initiative and referendum, in addition to the two constitutional amendments proposed by the legisla- ture of 1911.
 The recall amendment and the text book commission act were backed by the labor interests, and the campaign for their submission was conducted by the Referendum Committee of the Arkansas Federation of Labor. Lead CTS of the Farmers Union co-operated with the union labor men in securing the necessary signatures to the pe- titions.
 Among the general measures which it was sought to initiate, but which failed to secure the necessary number of signatures, were the woman's suf- frage amendment to the constitution, the bill for a state printing plant and a new election law backed by the So- cialists. All of the measures named will be published in full throughout the state so every one can read them.

COST TO BUILD NEW LEvEES
Planters Fear Money Will Not be
 AVailabfe Soon Enough.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 At least S2,000,000 will be needed to place the St Francis levee in any kind of shape, and $4,O00,00O will be required to build the embankment up to a point where it will withstand another rise in the Mississippi river similar to that which has just occur red, in the opinion of Governor Don aghey, who returned after trip along a large part of the levee. The gov ernor travelled in a launch from Mem phis to Golden Lake, where the worst break in the levee occcrred.
 Governor Donaghey stated that the large property owners in the district which he visited are anxious to have the levee rebuilt as quickly as pos sible, and to have it strengthened so that the danger of breaks such as oc- cured this year will be eliminated.
 The governor said that it is ex. pected that Arkansas will get about $500,000 out of the $6,000,000 which it is thought the government will appro- priate for repairing the levees, but of this amount about $2O0,00O will be spent for revetment work, leaving about $300,000 for levee work.
 It is proposed, the governor stated, that the St. Francis levee district is- sue S1,500,000 in bonds to do the work on the levee that is most needed. It is estimated that with the present tax of 16 cents an acre on the lands in the St. Francis levee district the interest on these bonds as well as on the 3D. 500,000 already outstanding can De paid, and leave a sufficient amount for the maintenance of the levee. It Is believed that later additional aid will be received from the government and that the levee can be strengthened sut- ficently to withstand stage of 50 feet in the river at Memphis.
 The property owners affected, how ever are disturbed over the fact that there must be a considerable delay before money can be secured by the levee district for the rebuilding of the levees. No bonds can be sold until the levees has been authorized by the legislature and this cannot be done before next January. In the mean time there is a necessity for immedi- ate action. Property owners in the district affected are discussing the question: the governor stated, and en- deavoring to determine upon some plan by which they can secure the pro. lection they deem necessary.

q have always used Cuticura Soap and no other for my baby and he has never had a sore of any kind. He does not even chafe as most babies do. I feel sure that it is all owing to Cuticura Soap, for he is fine and healthy, and when five months old, won a prize in baby contest. It makes my heart ache to go into so many homes and see sweet-faced baby with the whole top of its head solid mass of scurf, caused by poor soap.
