THE PROOF
 OF THE PUDDING

 T So here then is a letter, one of many we are con dtantly receiving, in which One of our enthusiastic clients thanks us in a most cordial manner for the sat isfactory work we have recently done for her. The writer is one of Birmlng- hams most prominent women; and for obvious reasons we withhold the name.

 Gentlemen: The work that you have recently done for me is so satis- factory both in workman ship and artistic effect that I feel that | must write and thank you for the same. It is a real pleasure to have you do things for me.
 I The proof of the pud- ding being in the eating, it follows that the proof of the worth of anything can be had only by actual test. I It is not necessary for you to accept our state ments as to the excellence and superiority of our work when so many clever, talented and dis eliminating people bear willing witness to it them selves.

RIVER IS CAUSE OF
 !. FRONTIER DISPUTE
River PilcOmayo Troubling People of Argentine
 and Bolivia

Buenos Aires, September 21.-, Special J. The unwillngness of a river to lie quietly in it's original bed has been responsible for provoking a frontier dispute between Argentine and Bolivia, similar in son e respects to the Rio Grande controversy which ranked for years feeling on the border between the United States and Mexico II was reported, at first, by General Rostagno, commanding the Ar genuine troops in the Chaco that there was Bolivian fort on Argentine terri tory
 Very naturally the news created greet surprise. General Rostagno personally vouched for the existence of the fort When the matter was politely mentioned to the Bolivian secretary Of state by tine Argentine government, Bolivia conceded that the fort was a matter of tact. IL was coutended, however. that the soil upon which ii stood was Bolivian, and not Argentine. Investigation has proved the river Pileomayo entirely responsible for the trouble
 The Pilcomayo forms the boundary line between Argentine and Bolivia at tnis point Of the frontier But recently the stream divided on a fork. taking q dre,- tion further south than the original from tier limits. The fort was built between the two branches of the Picomayo, tue southern arm having completely lried up. deceiYing, so 1t was said, the Bolivian surveyors The matter is in course of adjustment, but the settlement is made more difficult by the reports of both gov- comments experts that the Picomayo is not to be depended upon to "stay put" Ii is declared to be constantly changing it's course. and not in the least reliable for purposes of frontier demareation.

SMITH JUSTIFIED.
 ISMAY TESTIFIES
Tells British Quiz Court Plans Had Been Made to Steam Titanic
 at Full Speed.

London, June 5.--J. Bruce Ismay told the British court of inquiry today that it had been planned to drive the Tintanic at full speed during a few favorable hours of her maiden trip, and that he considered Capt. Smith full justified in going at full speed through the ice region so long as weather conditions made it possible to see ice ahead
 Lord Mersey, head of the quiz court, repeated the question whether the witness thought the captain justi- fled in his action. Ismay reply in the affirmative.
 lsmay told the court that it had heen arranged that weather being favorable on Monday or Tuesday, the vessel would be driven at full speed for few hours. 1smay insisted that he had nothing to do With the naviga- tion of the ship. The attorney gener- al complained that the witness was not frank
 The attorney general asked: What was the use of going at full speed through the ice at night.''
 lsmay:$:"I suppose they wanted to get from the ias They would not want to wait and take chance of fog coming down. They were justified on clear night in going through as quickly as possible and even might have increased speed to get from the ice field"
 Ismay Describes Experiences.
 Under Sir Rufus Isaacs question: ing, Ismay described his experiences after the ship had struck, much as he told the story before the senatorial committee at Washington. The wit ness said he realized the ship was sinking an hour and half after she struck, but did not tell anybody. Af- ter helping those women and children who were on deck into the boats, he did not go below to find others. No body, Ismay said, could have gotten into his boat after he entered it, as it was being lowered at the time.
 Passengers" Right Questioned.
 At this point the attorneys for the Seamen's Union inquired:
 "What right had you, as an ordi- nary passenger, as you have described yourself, to dictate to the captain con corning the speed of his ship?"
 Lord Mersey interrupted saying: q can answer that. He had no right at all."

Forrest City, Ark, June 5-The So- cialist party of St. Francis county held it's third annual county conven- ton at Palestine on Saturday, June l. with w. L. Lancaster of Caldwe cha 'rman of the executive committee presiding. The convention was per manently organized by the election of w. l.. Lancaster chairman and w. J. Sherman of Palestine, secretary.

 The nomination of Mrs. McWil- Hams for county clerk is the first time the name of any lady has ever been placed before the people as a candidate for political office and marks a new departure, not only in St. Francis county politics, but ill state politics as we'll.
 Two Socialist spellbinders were se- lected for missionary work in the field, preaching Socialism and organ izing Socialist clubs. These 1.-Two men were instructed to put in full time during the month prior to the general election in September.

ROBSON IS HOPEFUL.

Montgomery, Ala, June 5-The Democratic party will win in the presidential contest if either Taft os Roosevelt is nominated according to Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson. Hobson spent Monday in Montgomery, where he delivered an address before the graduating class of the Woman's College.
 He declared that the Republican party is split; that the antagonism between Taft and Roosevelt has caused the state of affairs, and that the Republicans are already beaten
 Hobson thinks President Taft will secure the nomination over Roose- velt but does not believe either will be strong enough to stem the Dem ocratic tide.

WORK FOR CLOUD sPoTTI:R
Humble but Indispensable Adjunct in the Process of Taking Mov-
 ing Pictures.

Among the new jobs that modern life has originated" said statistician, that of the cloud spotter is interest ing and odd. Tho cloud spotter doesn't, of course, make spots on clouds. No. no. He stapd on a high roof with costly field glass and he continually notifies his employer, moving picture maker, of the condi- tion of the heavens.
 You see, for an elaborate moving. picture play steady, uniform light is essential. The pictures must be taken all in sunshine or all in clear gray light. Otherwise they differ. Some are weak and some strong. They don't match on the screen. So the cloud spotter on the roof, searching the heavens with his glass, studying the course and velocity of the wind, as. snres his boss of good half-hour or hour for photog-aphing a moving pie ture play, and thus saves a waste of films that would otherwise be many times larger than hi. frugal salary

(Gontinued From Page 1.)

Steve Carr.gan of Hope, who served as temporary chairman made a speech in which he declared the affairs of state are in the most ser- ious condition they have been since the days of reconstruction "The people of the state and nation are facing a crisis said he, that may force them to write another Declara. ton of independence
 The chairman appointed a com mittee on platform with w. G. Hem dricks chairman, the members al large being James P. Clarke, J. H.. Hinemon, T. H. Humphrey, Joe Flynn, and J. V. IBourland. This committee met last night and re- ported this morning.
 All nominating speeches were dis pensed with save the Governor. Attorney General Hal L. Norwood, who had opposed him for a short time, placed Congressman Joe T. Robinson in nomination for governo ' predicting that he will give the people "an orderly intelligent, con- stitutional administration of the states affairs" 'Seconding speeches were made by C.. F. Newton, of Lo- noke, and c. H. Brough of the State University.
 MT. Robinson was then escorted to the stage by a committee, and was given magnificent ovation. He dis cussed at some length national is sues, and outlined briefly some of the policies he will pursue in sta e affairs. He declared for a reorgan> ization of the penitentiary board, for the elimination of politics from the State University and the St. Franc Levee District, for the government control of the levees for short ses- sions of the legislature with mim- imum of special legislation, and was loudly applauded on the following SouIlIlloIlI.
 Honest primaries and elections underlie all political reforms. The shameful and disgraceful practice of eNpending enormous sums of money in campaigns must be abolished. It promotes fraud, dishonesty and bad government. It excludes poor men from office and afflicts our political institutions with the leprosy of c3r- ruption. Pledges of appointment to office in consideration of political support and the promises of pardoas should be made impeachable. Cam paign contributions and expenses should be limited and full publicity required The limit should be reas- onable so as not to deprive the vot- CTS of becoming familiar with tha candidates and their views. Boodling in elections is the parent of all forms of dishonesty in politics. Py means of it the worm of greed, the serpent of bribery and all their crawling progeny are fattening."

accepts such offers. With the aid Of
her commtte she intends to have every
