Regiment Disbanded.
The Sixth regiment of infantry, N.

only four infantry regiments in the
military service of the state. Some of
the best companies of the Sixth have
been attached to other regiments.
Company L, at Jefferson City, which
belonged to the disbanded regiment,
has been attached to the Second regi-
ment, and companies at Frederick
town, Poplar Bluff and Caruthersville
have been transferred to the Fourth
regiment, of which Col. Clay C. Nc
Donald of st. Joseph is commanding
officer
The Sixth regiment was ordered
mustered out soon after Col. Arthur
L. Oliver of Caruthersville, who had
been Its commander, removed to St.
Louis to become United States dis
trict attorney. The chief reason for
disbanding the regiment was that
many of its companies had fallen be-
low the standard Of strength required
by the United States military regula-
tions.
The four regiments left in the state
service are the First, in st. Louis; the
Second, at Pierce City, Lawrence
county; the Third, at Kansas City,
and the Fourth, at st. Joseph.

was seriously interfered with, accord
ing to Supt. j. P. Womack. By II

Prof. Womack states that the heating
plant is not as efficient as it should be
and has been further handicapped by
breaking of some basement windows
and removal of asbestos pipe-covering
supposed to have been done by some
boys several months before the session
began.

prevented the temperature from drop
ping as low as the weather bureau
predicted, the minimum recorded here

w. H. DUNCAN FOR MAYOR.

In this issue of the Log Cabin Dem
ocrat appears the formal announce
ment of Judge W. H. Duncan as a
candidate for reelection as mayor of
Conway, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary. In offering for
reelection Judge Duncan desires to
call attention to the fact that the
pledges made by him have been car
ried out-the new passenger depot is
a reality, the light plant has been re-
built and put in good financial condi-
ton; several miles of sidewalks and
many street crossings have been con-
structed several public drinking foun-
tains installed and the city generally
improved. In the administration of
the city ordinances he states that he
has been neither too lenient nor toe
severe. The present condition of the
streets, the mayor asserts, is due to
and sewerage construction, and he
promises that if elected, with these
obstacles out of the way, he will see
that the streets are at once put in
permanently good condition. He re-
specially solicits the votes of all
Democrats who stand for the upbuild-
ing of Conway along every worthy
line.

bullet burying itself in the ground to
depth of about four inches. Mr..
Leinhart heard the projectile whistle
as it came down and saw where il
struck the earth. He did not hear the
shot fired and has no idea where the
bullet came from.

ON which the conferecs of she house
and senate split, and for weeks it
looked as If this pernicions amend
ment denounced alike by the cotton
growers and legitimate cotton-buyers,
would cripple the great tariff measure.
Finally, however, the senate conferees
agreed to recede from the amendment
and the bill with the Clarke cotton
gambling feature dropped, became a
law.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are great politicians as well as
great statesmen. When Senator
Clarke, through one of his friends, APP
piled to them for an endorsement,
what were they to do? Defeated or
reelected, Clarke's term will not eX
pire for more than one year hence. In
the meantime many great Democratic
measures are pending and every Dem
ocratic vote in the senate is needed.
The Democrats need Clarke's vote now
as badly as they did when he voted
with the Republicans on the Bristow
amendment, the senate standing Al to
"A and the vice president casting the
deciding vote for the Republicans.
Realizing, therefore, the venomous
hatred with which he would have been
inspired to defeat their every PROPOSE
ton should they have refused his re-
quest for testimonial, the president
and the secretary doubtless felt that
they were rendering the best service
for the party by endeavoring to retain
Clarke's good will and to keep him
lined up in the Democratic party dur
ing the remainder of his term.
But what the people of Arkansas
will remember is that during the first
10 years of his service the senator has
voted-when he voted at alias often
with the Republicans as with the
party to which he claims to belong;
patter of the most pronounced type;
that he lent his efforts to the defeat of
every progressive principle the Demo
cratic party proposed to adopt and ev
cry progressive statesman the party
proposed to endorse; that in his eXag-
gerated and r-mastering egotism
he considered himself superior to the
party which elected him; that the hon
ors the people had accorded him went
to his head like wine and he became
too arrogant to admit that his con-
stituents might have any claim upon
him
These are the things that the great
rank and file of the Democratic party
in Arkansas will remember and the
self solicited commentator from the
president and Mr.. Bryan as to the
senator's record during the past few
months will not blind their eyes to the
past-no more than will the tons of
garden seed and government litera-
ture which he is now eagerly sending
the people whom he neglected for II
long years induce them to vote for
him.
