The Roosevelt men bolted and
held a convention of their own.
AT this convention the state was
declared to be for Roosevelt for
president and Roosevelt delegates
we're elected to the national cor
vention. A state ticket was placed
in the field, headed by A, S. Fowler
of Pulaski county as the candidate
for governor. In accepting the
nomination Mr.. Fowler said the
honor is an empty one, but eX-
pressed the hope that the Roose-
welt ticket would poll more votes in
the general election than the Taft
ticket. The Roosevelt convention
was composed largely of republi-
cans who are out Of power and out
of office and want both. Plainly it
is case Of the ins against the outs.
The Roosevelt convention platform
denounced the Taft adherents as
the olllce-holding end of the party
and declared that the oliice-holders
are bossing the party in the inter-
est Of themselves and their jobs
rather than working for the good
Of the party, The otlices-that's
the big bone of contention, And
the suspicion fingers with US that

With Taft all right enough if they

could love Roosevelt If by loving
him they could also Oct an office,
The Arkansas republicans are
wasting a great deal Of mental and

If the republicans had ordered a
preference primary for president
this split In the party could have
been avoided. AS the matter now
stands If Roosevelt controls the ma
tional convention the Roosevelt
delegation from this state will be
recognized; II Taft controls the na-
tional convention the Taft delega-
ton will be recognized, IT the re-
publlcans Of the etate-those who
neither want nor expect d seat at
the federal pie-eounter-had been
allowed to express themselves the
question would have been settled
without political maneuvering Of
any kind, Perhaps, too, the repub-
licans of this state do not want
either Roosevelt or Taft. The rank
and file might have u preference
for Lafollette one Of the best men
In either of the two Great parties

The Hague.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Whether it
point of facing a n enormous idemnity
verdict for the United States to sub
init to The Hague tribunal the claims
of the Republic of Colombia for the
Panama canal strip, is a question
which the House committee on foreign

The hearings on the Rainey resolu-

Henry N. Hall, of New York, summed
up the evidence in the case, which. he
said, tended to prove that former Pres

violation of treaty obligations, that
the revolution was fomented by this
country and that Colombia was en-
titled to PREPARATION.
Chairman Sulzer asked Mr.. Hall what
reparation should be given Colombia
In his opinion, n how the dispute
should be settled. The fact that Sec

Hall declaring that he did not believe
any settlement made by Colombian and
United States arbiters. with h presi-

as referee, would be satisfactory to the
Colombian people.
How do you account for the fact
then" asked Representative Garner, of
Texas, chat Secretary knox does not
want to send this dispute with Colon
bia to The Hague?"
Il can well see how there is some
hesitation on Secretary Knox's part to
take into This Hague this indefensible
case. He does not want to go in with
a losing case, in which the judges can
do nothing but say that we should pay
Colombia the intrinsic value of the
Isthmus.''
That this would amount to ore
han s. $1,000, 900 he estimated as a con-
sentative figure.

WOMEN POLITICALLY
BUSY In, CALIFORNIA.

CHICAGO. Feb. 90. President Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, Of the University
of California. had encouraging words
for advocates of woman's suffrage as
he passed through Chicago last night
on his way to New York.
THE women of California are regis
tering by the tens of thousands for
the primaries soon to be held, and are
showing tremendous interest in politi-
cal matters of every sort he said.
This shows that those opponents of
women suffrage who say hat women
will not take advantage Of the privi-
lege to vote are mistaken. AS many
women are registering as men. Their
sudden entrance into the political situat
ton has resulted in a confused condi-
ton. but it is sure to bring about a
betterment of conditions in California"

COP PUTS A BOMB
OUT OF BUSINESS

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Patrolman
Storjan, passing a tenement house on
Avenue B. on the East Side, early to-
day, rubbed his eyes and pinched him.
self when he suddenly noticed a black
ened coffee-pot reposing on the icy
doorstep and steaming and sputtering
as though a red-hot stove was beneath.
The policeman went closer to investi-
gate and saw sparks coming from the
spout. The lifting of the cover re-
vealed a long. smoking fuse, communi-
eating with a black mass in the bot
tom of the pot. Storjan scooped up a
handful of snow and packed it down
tight over the fuse, extinguishing the
blaze. Then he carried the pot ginger
~ to his precinct headquarters, where
the experts diagnosed it as one of the
most dangerous dynamite bombs that
has been found in many months.
