to maintain the school on sound and

Meeting Of the u. D. C.'s.

After most delightful dinner and
entertaining program, in honor of the
birthday anniversary of Jefferson Davis,
the R. j. Hancock Chapter, U. D. c.,
met in regular session June 4, 1872, in
Benton.
The session opened with the Lords
Prayer.
A quorum being present, the roll was
called and the Chapter proceeded to
business.
The Treasurer, Miss Kate Carter, re-
ported the following disbursements:
State dues, S7.02; flood sufferers, $40;
crosses of honor, S1.5O; express, &c
cents; total, 1882. Leaving balance
in the treasury of $97.S3.
The President asked what disposition
should be made of this money, or would
it be best to let it remain in the bank.
Some of the members proposed it be
leaned to some worthy boy or girl-a
lineal descendant of Confederate
veteran.
Miss Carter said, while she approved
the idea of the scholarship loan, she
favored the idea of the chapter having a
place of its own at which to meet, and
where could be established library
containing Southern books of reference
to which pupils could have access when
desiring knowledge of true Southern
history.
After Miss Carter's proposition re-
ceiyed favorable support, dilemma
confronted them-there was no room fol
rent, and not enough money to build q
comfortable house. Mrs. Sue Abne,
came to the rescue and relieved the
situation by donating to the chapter ar
office which can be easily moved to some
suitable location. A rising vote Of
thanks was rendered Mrs. Abney for hel
most generous offer.
The Recording Secretary read lettel
from Rev. M. E. Dodd, D. D., regret.
ting his inability to be present with the
chapter on the 4th of June, owing to {
previous engagement, but would b.
pleased to come up some evening ant
give lecture for the chapter. 1t wa
moved and seconded that DR.. Dodd b.
asked to come, he to appoint the time.
Miss Clio Allen of Plain Dealing pre-.
sented her application for membership
The application was received and tn,
President will forward her the credentia
papers to be filled out. The young lad,

We are exceedingly glad to note
that the third party movement seems
to have taken no root in Crawford
county. This does not mean thai
Roosevelt would receive no votes
should his name appear on the ticket
but the vote would be scattering, not
large and drawn as much from demo
cratic as from republican ranks.
The fact is that Roosevelt and his
third party do not appeal even to the
most radical progressive leaders OF the
county. AS more than one prominent
progressive has expressed themselves,
81 may not be stuck on Taft, but
certainly am not stuck on Roosevelt
and voting for Wilson and free trade
is like jumping from the frying pan
into the fire. The progressives OF
this county recognize that Roosevelt
has sought to supplant the progress
i've party with a Roosevelt party,
and that he has been just as unfair
and treacherous to the progressive
leaders and their cause as he has been
to his old-time friend, President Taft.

! ONE QUESTION, PLEASE.

We would like to ask Colonel
Roosevelt and his supporters just one
question concerning the so-called Cal
ifornia robbery"
If California has right to enact
legislation to change the time honored
method of the selection of delegates
by districts, did it not have an equal
right to change the number OF its del
segates?
Could it not have said that Cali
fornia was just as good as New York
any day; that one Californian was
equal to dozen effete New Workers
and that if the Empire state was to
have ninety delegates in the national
convention the Sunset state should
have a like number?
Honest injun, now, is there not as
much reason in the one case as IN the
other? Would it not have been just
as serious an injustice to the soy
ereign state of California; if the ex
ira delegates thus added had been re
fused seats in the convention?
If the sovereign state OF Callfor
mia" had the right to override the Ions
recognized rules of The republican
PARTY in one respect, why not in 9th
ers?
1t seems to us that an honest an
swer to this question will have mucf
to do in clearing the California situa
ton.
The proposition in California woulc
be analogous to a case in Iowa Il
our legislature, because there is the
practical certainty of the election o.
a democratic congressman in the Sec
ond district, should pass law tha'
all Iowa congressman should be elect
ed at large, thus assuring solid re

publican delegation. The congress
would declare such action illegal and
this was exactly what the republican
national convention did.

Some of our farmers will never gel
over kicking about Canadian reciproc
ity. The election of Wilson means
not only reciprocity with Canada, but
with every other country. No, not
reciprocity; it means letting down the
bars to all the other countries and
getting absolutely nothing in return
If partial free trade with Canada was
going to do SO much damage to the
farmer is it not about time to get ex'
cited over the prospect of free trade
with all the world?

Last week in inspecting a rural
route we saw a cattle run which was
being built by farmer. 1t was about
four feet higher than the road. 10
grade to it so as to make good road
would cost not less than several hun
dred dollars. If every farmer was al
lowed to put in such instructions the
roads of the county would be com
pletely spoiled. They should not be
allowed except under such conditions
as will leave the road as good as be-
fore they are put in.
