The manner in which Hot Springs as a government reservation is han died in the fiscal year report made to congress by Secretary of the lnte- TOT Fisher is the subject of an inter esting paragraph sent out by the Washington correspondents and pub- aisled generally over the country yesterday. Here is what 1t said:

 The figures contained in the report give Hot Springs all the foundation necessary for it's campaign before congress, and if the proper recogni- ton is not taken of it, Hot Springs will lose the biggest opportunity it ever had according to the viewpoint of many of our progressive citizens on the subject.
 First in importance and eleventa in recognition" should be the slogan of the campaign. which, if waged at Washington before the democratic congress. will cause that body to wake ID and help put this reservation first in importance and first in the mat--r Of national recognition.
