Threatening Storms.

President Wilson is not finding
the position Of chief magistrate
a sinecure. Being a man OF
.great energy and conscientious
feeling he is endeavoring to do
E1cre work than is good for him,
and unless he obeys his physi-
clan End takes a rest he may SUI
fer break down. He is report
ed to be much worried over the
situation in California. Presi-
sdent Taft left the skies all clear,
and the dove Of peace perched
upon the ports and battlements.
lSince President Wilson entered
athe White House clouds andrum-
blings have been seen and heard,
and it may be his i'll fortune to
encounter storms before many
days. It is the easiest thing in
the world to be president of the
United States when everything
is fair, and no untoward circum-
stances arise. In case of con-
flict it is quite another thing,
and the mental strain which the
chief magistrate must undergo,
together with the enormous
weight Of the responsibility i'm
posed upon(him, are heart break
ing. President Wilson should
conser2 his strength, and not
exhaYE it all at the outset

family to adopt the budget sys-
tenn?
A writer in Harper's Bazaar
explains that "by an ideal budget
is meant that arrangement for
the expenditure of a stated in
come which will secure the great
est comfort or happiness possible
while maintaining a standard of
health both physical and moral"
A writer in the Saturday Ev-
ening Post, discussing the Amer
lean habit of spending, gets at
the heart of the whole question
when he says:
ut saddens me to see our COM
petitive American spending,
where four tries to equal five and
keep ahead of three"
The budget system would
solve this, perhaps at the eX-
pense of pride, but often in the
strengthening of credit-never
spend all you make, even if it be
but a dollar a day.
Those who live within their in
come do not furnish business for
the bankruptcy courts.-Little

Arkansas National Guard, a
state fair at Hot Springs and an
exhibit from Arkansas, for the
Panama exposition; and declar-
ing war on machine politics in
this state, Stephen Brundidge of

144.OOO Free Meals For the Vet

Grams.
Special to Independent.
Chattanooga, Tenn, April 30.
In commemoration Of the
bloody battle at Chickamauga
so years ago, Chattanooga an
nounces perfection Of the plans
for entertainment of the United
Confederate Veterans and the
Sons who will hold their 23rd an
nual reunion May 27-29. High
officials of the G.. A. R. ata4e
that Chattanooga expenditures
for entertainment and amuse-
ment, etc., will be on a more law
ish scale than was ever neces-
sary for their meetings, even
surprising the high water mark
at Los Angeles.
1t is expected in Chattanooga
that upward of $4,000 veterans
will be present, all of whom will
be rendered free lodging and
meals at Camp Alexander P.
Stewart.
Some fellow with a love for sta
tistics has figured that this
means the service of $4,000 free
meals in the course of four days.
The requisite number of Govern
ment tents and cots have been
loaned by the war department.
The year 1913 will perhaps mark
the last pilgrimage of most Of
the veterans Of 1868 to ground
made sacred by the heroes of
the Blue and Gray on the
heights and in the shadow of
Lookout mountain.

Jonesboro, May las a re-

alleged to have been found ex-

Wilson, Arkansas, by a commit
tee from Paragould, County
Judge Edwards today wired the

action. The farm is owned by
Lee Wilson, millionaire lumber
man, of Memphis, and is manag-

The committe which was ap-

NEGRO CHARGED
WITH ARSON
Glover Brought Back From Mis-
souri, Charged With Attempt
to Burn Burton Home.

Sheriff J. F. McCuistion, ac-
companied by D. H. Burton of
Auvergne returned Thursday
night from Anderson, Missouri,
with a negro named Glover, who
had been located there and is
charged with attempting to burn
the home of T. ]. Burton of Lay
ton one night early in April.
At the time of the attempt to
destroy the Burton home, the
family heard the cracking of the
flames and running out, managed
to put out the blaze. The wea-
ther-boarding was found to have
been saturated with coal oil and
a whiskey carton, used to start
the flames had not been consum-
3D. Upon it, was the name of
Field, addressed to Anderson,
Missouri by a Pine Bluff liquor
firm. Acting upon this clue, the
officers found that Glover had
received this whiskey under the
name of Field and that he had
been purchasing whiskey in half
pints and bootlegging it over the
country. The officers have other
information pointing to the guilt
of Glover, which cannot be dis
closed at this time.
