THE POLITICAL COST.

Whatever may be said of the game of politics it has seldom ever profited the peope of Hot Springs, and it is almost universally the rule that it has cost the city something.
 Garland county voted a majority vote for Clarke for senator, and it was anticipated that the Garland county delegation to the state conven- ton might cast it's vote on organiza- ton and all material matters as the other Clarke supporters cast their votes.
 Garland county delegates by a ma iority vote went down to defeat with Kirby That was because the dele, gates individually were political allies of Kirby certainly not because the vote of the people in their home county had indicated they should support Kirby
 When the time came for selecting the place of holding the next conyen- tion those of the Garland county dele gation who had stood with the mi. nority all through the proceedings, proposed Hot Springs Little Rock won. Joe Hardidge, who had voted with the majority proposed the con vention go to Little Rock.
 No man is expected under political conditions or any other conditions to stultify honest principles But when the people of Garland county by al most 300 majority had favored Seaa- tor Clarke the delegates might have recognized the moral obligation of the situation and carried out the implied instruction of the majority vote of this county Had they done so unani- mously, instead of only by the vote of Judge Gotham, W. $. Sorrels, John Rigsbee and A. II. Moore, of the dele, gation of twelve, Hot Springs would unquestlonably have secured the 1ext state convention by the way is worth several thousands of dollars to any city.
 And to add further to the incon- sistency of the whole situation, Judge Kirby claimed only the votes of the delegations from such counties as he carried by popular vote, and did not claim the vote of the counties that Senator Clarke carried by popular vote. Can you beat it'

ONE CONNECTION MADE.

Something of the value and of the great return Hot Springs Is going to receive for the money expended on the Little Rock highway is proved in the fact Of the Dollarway road that Pine Bluff has all but completed now to the Pulaski county line which long before the Hot Springs end is completed, will make for a paved highway connection.
 The Dollarway road out of Pine Bluff is paved road. nine feet wide. Now. a road nine feet wide as a rule seems too narrow, but it is practical and economical The actual paving is nine feet. but that is the crest of the road. Four feet on either side of the paving is grayeled up even with the paved surface, so that passing on the highway is not a matter of doubt at any point.
 1t is too well kknown for contradlc- ton that the crest of the road is al ways used for the actual travel and that the remaining width is only gen erally, used for convenience when vehicles are passing. Therefore the ninefoot wide paved Dollarway road is sufficient to all demands.
 The Dollarway road is of crushed rock surface, capped with paving mixture of asphalt. It will last, and II will be clean from dust. It is a splendid idea because it is a practi- eal Idea for country roads.

Health a Factor in Success.

The largest factor contributing to mans success is undoubtedly health. It has been observed that a man is seldom sick when his bowels are regular-he is never well when they are constipated.

THE STATE FAIR
Annual Meeting Of Morgan Horse
ciub-Milking Contest

Slup-Milkng SonSeSt
White River Junction, Sept. IT,
Seldom ON any fair ground is more
spirited racing seen than that which
took place today on the grounds of
the Vermont state fair. There were
three events on the schedule and
each of them went five heats Thir.
teen thousand people were present
on the third day OF the eighth an
nual Vermont state fair which proved
to be filled with interesting features
and a more delightful gathering
could not have been expected.
one Of the principal events of the
day of interest to horsemen was the
annual meeting of the Morgan Horse
club which followed a luncheon serv-
ed to members at the headquarters
tent OF the organization. The OH
GERS elected were: Henry S. Ward
ner, president; C. X. G. Billings, r.
4. Darling, G. A. Stone. II. r. G. Wat
son and w. s. Williams. vice-presi-
dents. c. c. Stillman, secretary and
treasurer: o. Benson. {. X. G. Bill
lings, c. V. Kent. Z. c. Ryder and W.
S. Williams. members of the board
of governors, to serve until 1917.
President Wardner delivered an adj
dress in which he said that the say
ing of the Morgan breed had been
accomplished To keep the breed
safe and intact for the future he ad-
vised the adoption of the new regis
ter which the club had already en-
dorsed and it should be follow ed
closely. 1t is perfectly apparent to
any spectator at the Morgan exhibit
this year, whether he be an expert or
novice that all horses exhibited
in the Morgan classes are of a high
grade.
