Colonel Blank had a little boy i've
years old. and little Bobby had often

are you talking about? Nobody owns

Bobby's mother heard about 1t, and
was much distressed Calling the lit

Bobby. you were wrong when you
said your father owns his men, and
want you to tell the soldier that you
are sorry for what you said"
Running to overtake the private

troughs should be frequently washed
and placed where the sun will bhine in
them. This is especially true OF those
used for feeding small pigs. Clean.
dry straw should be placed in every
house for bedding. as 1t Is essential
that the SOW have a warm, dry bed
when she fsrrows. Many young pigs
are lost each year from cold and ex-
posure at farrowing time. The young
pigs must be kept warm. dry and
should have plenty of sunshine until
they are several weeks old.
good shelter for little pigs during
the summer months may be made by
setting four poles into the ground and
securely mailing two by six inch ma
terial around these about three feet
from the ground. and upon these a few
hight poles may be put crosswise and
straw or coarse hay piled on top.

So they called the old man into the
office, and told him that as he had
worked for them faithfully and well
all these years they had decided to
pension him off, but that he could
draw the same wage as he was then
earning.
The old man turned away. but the
was very much troubled and puzzled
about the matter. and the two sons
could see that he hadn't taken 1t at all

4 SENATORSHIP.

By action of the Democratic state convention at Pine Bluff yesterday, Senator Clarke will become the can didate of his party for a seat in the United States senate, now held by him, and his election, in the fall, IS foregone conclusion.
 We venture to say that he never will be candidate again for this office. There may be other reasons, now or later, but the chief one is and will be that very large part of the people of the state believe either that he was not fairly nominated in the primary, or that he did not play the game fairly by cooperating to clear the nomination from the charge of fraud
 The Times Record never has claim ed that the nomination of the senator was the result of fraud or that Sen ator Clarke was party to it-it be- ieves the contrary as to the senator, but it has said, and says again, that justice and personal and party honor and regard for the free and unham- pered citizenship of the state de- manded that the charge of fraud be sifted to the very bottom. The Poin- sett county affair came on top of a long list of similar cases, in none of which was there permitted to be made a thorough investigation. The de- mands for such investigation always were choked and throttled in one con- vention or another controlled by the partisans of the man in whose inter- est the alleged frauds were commit ted. The recent convention was pre- sided over by man who had hardly taken the gavel before he broke out in a partisan tirade that must have shamed even Senator Clarke himself, for we credit him with the finer feel ings that animate man. "This is Clarke convention,' shouted this man chosen to preside with impartiality over the highest assemblage of his party in the state. It was the duty
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-06-06

of this chairman, no less than of the convention as whole, to give to the individual complaining a respectful hearing, and, as before said, party honor required searching investlga- tion. The chairman's statement was a declaration that the convention was not, as it should have been, body to deliberate upon and declare the poli- cies and will of the party, to be in fact, the highest party council, but, was, on the other hand, packed jury to try a case, not on the law and evil dence, but on the partisan passions of the majority.
 The party is dishonored by having forced upon it a nomination upon which rests charge of fraud that is not disproved and to prove which no opportunity was given, It is de- plorable state of party morals and, if the course is continued in, must re- suit in such party disruption as has been seen in Kentucky and Tennes- see.
 The chairman of the recent conven- tion is quoted as saying that politics in Arkansas is no worse than has been the case in other states. That is a very poor recommendation; if that is the best he can do, he might better have not attempted defense, for politics in some other states cannot be termed other than rotten.
 There was one hopeful sign, and that was the appointment of a com mittee composed of some of the best citizens in the state, to draft cor rupt practices act to govern primar- ies in future, the draft to be present ed to the next general assembly for adoption and enactment.-FortS Smith Times Record.
