Clifford Pinchot, who was one oI
the chief movers in bringing ou,
Senator La Toilette as a candidate
for president, has come out with a
signed statement withdrawing his
support and stating that he will
now work for the nomination OF
Col. Roosevelt. The reason given
is that developments during the
past month have made it plain
that Mr.. La Follette's candiaacy
can not advance the progressive
cause; that the course that the
senator has elected to pursue will
not keep the progressives together.
simultaneously with this an
comes the report from
Montana, Colorado, Wyoming,
Idaho, and other public land states
where Mr.. Roosevelt has heretofore
been 80 strong, that the friends of
the Colonel are sending him notice
that further enthusiasm for him
must be cultivated with the under
standing that the com bination
shall not be Roosevelt and Pinchot.
1t seems to be quite evident that
Mr.. Pinchot is a Jonah, and that
President Taft is fortunate in
having his enmity.

An organization known as the
National Woodmen has been FORM
ed in Minneapolis to oppose the
action of the head camp OF the
Modern Woodmen at the Chicago
meeting recently in readjusting
the rates. A meeting of this new
association which will be composed
of delegates from Modern Wood
men camps all over the country,
will be held In Minneapolis begin
ming today and is expected to last
three days. The proposed action
of this association is to compel the
withdrawal of the rates adopted at
the Chicago meeting, to have the
courts act on the measure, or to
form separate organization.

Congress is taking steps to in
vestlgate the money trust but SO
far the two houses have been un-
able to agree on a plan of investi-
cation. Samuel Untermyer, a
successful corporation lawyer who
seems to possess much inside in
formation, says there is no :'money
trust in the literal sense, but q
'smoney oligarchy" behind which
will be found a system vicious and
dangerous beyond conception, but
one that is still within the law. He
then goes on to show several meth
DDS practiceG by this oligarchy.
One OF the important questions
now before congress is the revision
on our monetary laws. The pregi-
dent has recommended system
based upon the recommendation
of the monetary commission which
would seem to prevent the opera
tions of this oligarchy as revealed
by Mr.. Untermyer. Senator La
Toilette in his campaign speeches
is opposing this bill, but he offers
nothing to take It's place. While
the subject is not one to be con-
sidered by amateurs, the general
public bas become convinced that
some action is necessary, and
something besides opposition to
proposed methods is expected.

Congressman Mckinley, who is
managing President Taft's cam
paign predicts that the president t
will have about $50 delegates in
the national convention. In his
estimates he comedies South Dako-

convince the ordinary observer
that the estimate is ultra conserva-
tive as the presidents chances of
getting South Dakota are by no
means hopeless, no matter who
may be his opponent.

GOV. MAY PARDON
 BANKER MORRIS

Little Rock, May, lit is ex. pected that Gov. Donaghey will soon take up the question of a pardon for R. $. Morris, the aged Siloam Springs banker who is now serving a three year sentence for fraud in connection with the failure of the Bank of Slloam of which he was Pres ident. Mr. Morris is a physical wreck, and cannot move about the hospitel at the penitentiary, where he is confined, except with assistance. He can scarcely speak above whisper, and it is not believed he can survive long in prison. His attorney, R. F. Forest, of Siloam Springs, call ed on the governor, this week, and the governor tDld him he could not take it up just then. Clyde McCulloch, one of the chief depositors.in the bank, was in the city this week, and said that he would petition the governor if necessary to grant a pardon, as the law has been vindicated, and no good can be accomplished by keeping the broken old man in the penitentiary where he is wasting away daily with mental and physical weakness.

PEMlTENTIARY IS NOT
 SELF-SUSTAINING

Little Rock, May 1.-The ueni- tentiary is not now self-sustair Ing, but fully half the convicts are employed at work that can, not be realized on until the cotton and corn c1Ops are gathered. The payroll for the month of April was $2,681.14, and total of S17,586.60, including $4,857O7 old accounts, was allowed. There is still in the commissary a total of $9,3742O in supplies. These accounts have been allow ed, but the payment is several months in arrears.
 For the Month of April the inn come of the penitentiary was S4,923 from the Reeves contract. The contractor may pay $1 per day per capita for 200 men, whether they are worked or not and during the month there was a total of 775 idle days, when the contractor could give the men no employment, representing just that much loss. This is one of the reasons why the Board has difficulty in placing the men advantageously.

RHEA EXPRESSES
 EVERY CONFIDENCE

Little Rock, May 11-W S. Rhea, being held at the state penitentiary pending final action by the Supreme Court on the issue of his life or death, is ex- pressing every confidence in his tiual acquita' of the charge of murder which has put his life in jeopardy. He continues to as sert with all the emphasis at his command that bis conscience is perfectly clear of any knowledge of WI ong doing, and that he was not present at the time the mob of negroes killed Constable Arch ard, and lew nothing of the crime until afterwards. The lower court has been sustained by the Supreme Court, but a motion for re.hearing will be fled in Supreme Court next Monday.
 In one of the briefs for the ap- pellant, written ex-Gov. X. O. Pindali, may be found what is probably the longest sentence ever written. This one sentence covers twelve pages of the print, ed brief, and yet it is correct in gro nmatical construction, and could not properly be broken up into smaller sentences. It con cludes with apologies for the haste in which this is written, and especially for the unusual length of one of it's sentences. " The plea of the defense is the innocence of the accused, and that the states witnesses, negro es, entered into a conspiracy to swear his life away The brief says: We expressed in our or iginal brief, our conviction that the testimony shows Rhea to be innocent; and we still have an abiding assurance that 1t does. A careful consideration of the evidence convinces us that those negroes shot Archard first with a shotgun, robbed him of his pistol, fired the pistol shot into his back, .probably robbed him of his money then went back to the Lenox, place together, kept the matter a secret from Rhea, and then, sometime after arrest. and while in prison together con- ceived the idea of supporting their hopes of immunity by swearing that defendant deter

governor WILSON
Tells LAWMAKERS
Of HIS IDEALS

TRENTON. N. j., Jan. 1O.-Wood
row Wilson, governor of New Jersey
sent his first annual message to the
legislature yesterday. He deals ex
clusively with economy and the ne
cessity of coordination, and simply
flying the state government Such
matters, says the governor, admit OF
no partisan bias, and whatever diff
ferences OF judgment may arise with
regard to them, they need have nc
feeling of party flavor. We can get
at the heart of things if we choose
and we would not render the state
a greater service than by so doing
Wastefulness and inefficiency are
themselves virtually forms of graft
4'hey afford fruitful opportunities for
every kind of abuse.
1T is to the questions of efficiency
and economy, therefore, that first
invite your serious attention.
The governor points out that the
number Of state boards is confusing,
and recommends the appointment of
a commission Ito take into consider
alton the whole question Of simplify.
ing and co.ordinating the administra-
tive agencies of the state" with the
request that the commission act
promptly and harmoniously and re.
port to the legislature as soon as pos
sible.
He adds that the commissions in.
quiry ought to take in the question
of equitably adjusting assessment
and taxation and should include a
VERY thorough examination of our
tax system itself; it's basis and prin.
ciple.
Further, the governor recommends
investigation and legislation looking
to serviceable cooperation between
the charitable and correctional insti-
tutions in the state; dwells on the
need of a reformatory for women and
adds that the machinery for supervis-
ing the public health is woefully mad

excellent board of health" he says,
but only repeat the testimony of its
own members. Every sort of infec-
ton should be guarded against. A
costly war must be waged on the
mosquito and housefly. The dissem-
ination of poisonous gases from fac
tries, from locomotive engines and
from vast bodies of smoke which per-
wade our cities, must be prevented.
The dairy business must be sharply
supervised along with cold storage
and the handling of food stuffs in lae
markets. Oyster beds must be in
spected; there must be some thor
ough and efficient system of keepingI
our lakes and streams from pollution
and systematic war must be made
with such diseases as tuberculosis.

Army OFFICERS
ON "DETAChED"
TO ANSWER CALL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Tlera's a
big lot of trouble brewing in congress
for quite number of pampered line
officers who under various pretenses
have been absent from their duty for
prolonged periods. On the army rec
ords their absences have been noted
under the specious head of "absent

ago a Connecticut member of the
house military committee had his at
tention called to the subject and ne
made an official "call' upon the war
department for an accurate statement
showing the exact length of time Off
GERS then ION detached duty" had
been absent from their respective
commands. Now, Senator Dupont, of
gunpowder fame, who is the chairman
of the senate's committee on military
affairs, has presented resolution de-
manding similar information.
This information" which is ex-
pected to be furnished within a few
days, asks the war department to
furnish list of the names, rank.
and organizations of all line officers
OF the army who have been absent on
detached duty from their commands
during the six years ended July 81.
1911, and who, on November 80, 1911,
were still absent" 1t is whispered in
society and ultra fashionable circles
that there are certain army officers,
who, through family, political or "sas-
siety inflooence, have not been on
duty with their troops for a number
Of years; and, from present appear
ances, there IS likely to be some
mighty severe criticism on the floor
of congress when the actual facts be-
come known. Then we are sure to
hear lot Of npleasant things about

social whirl than in either camp or

that all applicants for such appoint

SUGGESTS union FOR
The WOMEN Who work
Especial to the 1rlbucA,

WASHINu ION, Jan. l1-The
Federation of Womens Clubs is
much worked up over the urgent ap-
peal of Miss Catherine O'Reilly, a
visitor from New York, who is en-.
treating it's members to support the
laboring women Of the country in
their efforts to organize themselves
into unions, and thus sell their Ia
Dor at its proper remunerative value.
Unorganized. says Miss O'Reilly,
the working women Of the United
States, who now number more than
100000 are urged by their en-
ployers to double their output on
which they work only to find that
the following year the wages that
they receive have been ruthlessly
and mercilessly cut down. This
speeding up" she says, has to be
paid for by society in the long run.
as the women in an effort to earn a
living wage overwork themselves,
and in few years are either physi-
cal wrecks, victims of tuberculosis,
or unfit for motherhood. Having
herself worked in factories, she is
able to site conditions in many lines
Of work in which women are en-
gagged, and she gives specific sam
pies of the contemplate manner in
which their wage is cut down by
grasping and avaricious employers.
