In 1900, Governor Burleigh, against
overwhelming odds, including the active
opposition of Mr.. Cannon and other great
House leaders, and in the face of pre-
~dictions of utter defeat, introduced the
bill saving to Maine her four representa-
-tives in the reapportionment, and by his
brilliant and effective work carried it
through to victory. The National Maya
zine, which published fine portrait of
Governor Burleigh at that time, declared
that while there were many great speak
sers in the National House, it's great Or
ganizers could be counted on the fingers
of two hands, and that Governor Bur-
leigh was recognized as one of them. 1t
further declared that the victory won by
him in securing the passage of the Bur-
leigh bill was zone of the greatest per-
sonal triumphs ever achieved by men,

The law says that wild cherry trees
and all wild or worthless and old apple
trees within the limits of the highways
shall be cut down by the first of June.
What is the particular offense of the
wild cherry trees? In blossom they
beautify the wayside. If fewer trees
had been cut down along the highways
they would have been more attractive
and more easily cared for. In this city
Northport avenue would have had row
of trees on each side, including many
elms, had not the surveyors at intervals
of few years cut down everything in
the shape of tree.

With Congress in session and the con-
tests in progress in both the great politi-
cal parties for the presidential nomina-
ton there would seem to be no excuse
for sending out from the National capt.
tol such an absurd story as the Bangor
Commercial printed last week in its
special Washington correspondence. In
brief the story is that there is deal on
between "some Republican" and ''some
Democrats" to throw" Gov. Plaisted in
the coming elections, the Republicans in
return to ''help re-elect Representatives
McGillicuddy and Gould and also help de-
feat Asher Kinds in the first Maine dis
trict and elect Democrat there" The
Commercials correspondent very sagely
remarks: "No such deal could be easily
carried through" That some Demo-
Gratis, and more Republicans, who voted
for Plaisted two years ago will not vote
for him this year is very evident.

Chief Justice Whitehouse will be COM
PEELED to retire from the bench within
a few months, when he will have reached
the retiring age, and it is rumored that
he will be succeeded by Attorney Cen
eral w. R. Pattangall. While his fit
ness for this position will be seriously
questioned, there is no doubt but that he
can have the appointment if he demands
it. The Portland Press says:
1t was Pattangall who prevented the
denomination of Gardner as candidate
for governor and who brought forth
Frederick w. Plaisted as candidate
and forced his nomination. 1t was Pat
tangall who stood by Charles F. johnson
and aided him in securing his election to
the United States Senate. 1t has been
Pattangall who has engineered the Plais-
ted administration from the beginning,
whose skilful hand has been shown in
the manipulation of an unskilled Legisla-
ture and who is generally conceded to be
''the brains of the Democracy.

"God bless our soldiers brave,
Who did the Union save,
From thraldom's thong"


The sacrifice was human blood; the price
the country's best manhood. Was the sacri-
fee too great? Was the price too high? Only
God knows. This we do know. This is the
greatest country the sun ever shown on! The
flag that floats above US. the flag that flies from
nearly every schoolhouse in the land, the flag
the children are taught to salute, is the flag
that knows no stain, whose glorious insignia
is the Divine right of liberty in man. Too
much cannot be said in honor of these men
too much cannot be done to show our apprecia-
ton of their noble deeds.
We have gathered here to plant tree in
their honor. The deed is small, but the impulse
is great. It tells them that our hearts are full
of love and gratitude for those who made it
possible for us to have all the privileges we en-
joy. and not only those present but every one
in this great land-a free land.
Tomorrow is Memorial Day. the Nations
funeral day. I wish it could be observed as
such. I wish there might be no ball games
no gun shoots, no work Of any kind. This is not
a work day! It is not q gala day! Let us
show our respect for the veterans by our pres
ence at least, 1T their exercises.

THE STATE PRESS.

There will be but few more issues of the state press before the opening of the 1912 Arkansas State Fair. The doors of this big commonweata exhib- it Of Arkansas will be formally throwa open next Monday morning.
 It is not asking too much that the press of Arkansas give due considera- ton to the worth of the annual fall exposition of Arkansas products.
 The purpose and objects of state fair are of mutual benefit to the var ious counties of the state: the Dene- ifs are of course in keeping with the manner cf improving the opportunity of showing resources.
 1t takes some years to build up a big state fair, and some years have been spent on this one, but it has reached large proportions now, and the people of the state will have some surprises in store.
 There will be more agricultural and horticultural exhibits than were ever exhibited before. Every farmer and every stock raiser who comes within t1e gates of the state fair will learn something in a short observation that he might have spent years of experi- ence in learning.
 The manufacturing and coxmerciaI exhibits will also be far above any heretofore shown in the state. The amusement and entertainment fea tures win surpass any ever grouped in one enclosure in the south.
 The opening day will be marked with the presence of Hon. Chaml Clark, speaker of the House. and th' foremost Democrat from point of pc. pularity and influence, in this coun try. Anticipating that there is m doubt about the result of the presi dential election. and that the Demo crats will win glorious victory thu opening day should be made sort 0 grand political rally on the part of th' citizens of a soiidly Democratic state
 
 Tine press Of Arkansas can contrl bute much to the success of this stat fair, just as the influence of the pres. of the state must be felt in every big undertaking within the state. If th' press is silent. that silence is damp ening to the enthusiasm of the people If the press will give this expositio; the praise that It's merits justify, ths people wao have promoted it and have spent their money in it's upbullding will be thankful and appreeiatiye.
