Usual Vigor Missing.

During his last political campaign in
September there was general comment
on the fact that he did not use the Wig
orous methods that characterized his
earlier campaigns.
Senator Davis leaves a wife and seven
children. The eldest son. Wallace, aged
twenty-four years. has been associated
with the senator in his law Office. His
eldest daughter Miss Bessie, acted as
his private secretary. His other chill
dren. jamie. JEFF. jr.. Ina, Lucille and
Lewis, are, students in local schools. Sen
ator Davis mother, who is eighty-four
years old, lives at Russellville. Senator
Davis was twice married.
The death of Senator Davis on the eve
of the ratification of his reelection by
the legislature creates a peculiar polit-
ical situation in Arkansas. and while an
authoritative statement has not been
made. 1t is possible a special primary

Congress Urged to Appropri-
ate $500 for an |ndepend-
ent Water Supply.

Congress has been asked to appropriate
81, 800 for installing an Independent water
supply in the grounds of the Executive
Mansion for the better protection from
fire of the mansion and contents. The
matter was brought to the attention of
Congress today by the Secretary of the
Treasury in forwarding an estimate sub
mtted by Gen. Bixby, chief of engineers.
1t was explained that the necessity for
the appropriation was not known in time
to include it in the regular estimates pre-
viously submitted.
From the correspondence it appears that
in October the District Commissioners no.
titled Col. Cosby. the officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, that the ny
drants in the rear of the Executive Man
sion had such poor volume of water that
il would be impossible to get working
fire stream, especially if both hydrants
were in use. An investigation was made
and it was found that the same mains
which supply the fire hydrants in the
grounds also supply the Executive Man
sion, the Presidents office, the fountains
and other services.
Believes Separate Main Needed.
IF any of these" said Gen. Bixby,
should happen to be in use, it might
seriously reduce the pressure in the
hydrants at the time of fire. 1t is
therefore believed that a separate main
leading to the hydrants should be INSTALL
ed for fire service exclusively"
REQUEST was made to the District Com
missioners that If practicable the water
department of the District install such a
main. They replied that they knew of
no law which would authorize them to
Law water mains in the White House
grounds chargeable to the funds of the
water department. AS there were no
other funds available for the purpose, the
War Department decided to appeal to
Congress for relief.

William R. Hearst.

With eulogies of the men i'm Congress
and with bitter denunciation of William
Randolph Hurst. Senator Bailey of Texas
concluded his swan-song speech in the
Senate yesterday afternoon. Although he
read copiously from books, the crowded
galleries listened intently throughout the
four hours he held the floor in the Senate
chamber. There was no sign of thin.

speech and retired to the cloakroom.

Senator Bailey was sturdy in his de-

criticisms which involved charges of cor

Heralded as Radical.

jeff Davis began his service in the
Senate March 4. 1907. He had been
heralded as radical, and he had told
his constituents that he was coming
to Congress Ito make "a row." He did
rot hesitate to carry out his threat.
On the ninth day after he had taken
the oath of office he made vitriolic
attack upon the great corporations.
The views expressed at that time were
frequently repeated. and at no time
did he spare trusts or their officials
in any way.
Senator Davis held himself up as a rep
resentative of the plain people," And
much comment was occasoned at one
time when he rolled into the White
House grounds and up to the door of the
executive offices in a taxicab. The story
was widely published. with suggestions

the big men work, and the big men plan,

Railroad Presidents
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of @At Good Old SiWash-S

THE railroad president IS a victim
! of a mans cruelty who has thus
L far been overlooked by the S. f.
P. C. A
Railroad presidents are elected by
railroad owners to run their railroads.
| They would do this happily and with
no trouble at all if it were not for the
! pOpUlace-
The people viii not let railroad presi-
! dents alone. Not content with being
| allowed to ride on the cars they write
! him letters when the trains are late and
sue him when he tries to run two trains
past each other on the same track and
| dismembers their relatives.
Once a railroad resident was as pow
erful as a king, and when a city dis
pleased him he wiped 1t off the time
| table and let it wither away. He spent
his life careering gaily over his road
| in a private car while the fast mail
stood on a side track, and when citizen
came to him, hat In hand, to ask him
| if he might water load of hogs which
! had been a week en- route he
got the cold plutOcratic stare and was
deposited on the sidewalk by the lani-
tor.
All this is now changed. When a
railroad president issues an order to his
employees congress looks it over and
tells him to forget it for about SIX
months and nine days When he raises
his rates he is told to go he down, and
when his passenger trains run off the
track the eoroner's jury recommends
that he be held without bail and fed on
straw.
When a railroad president rides on
his private car nowadays he has to take
two bushels of papers along with him
for an excuse. When he would play golf
he has to address the farmers of Mary
Jane county on the benefits of sub-soil
blowing and if he should refuse to do
so they would murmur and complain
and stocks would 90 down half a point
when a rival line got the business.
All the railroad president has to do
now Is to work; and when he isn't
working he is explaining things to the
grand jury or an investigating commit
tee of congress. He rises at five, and
figures out how to pare off $1.45 from
his expense without offending the inter
state commerce commission. At 10 he
asks the Amalgamated employees if they
would prefer rocking chairs OF ham
mocks for their noon day siestas, At
night he writes letters to dissatisfied
