DON'T EAT RAW PORK.
Far mand Fireside says:

There are some people who still
eat raw pork. Some o fthese die from

pared by drying, salt pork by sailing,

The Prescott daily news., 1914-03-24

delivered by Senator Jeff Davis at Benton vile in Benton County, December ?, 1905 part of which reads as follows:
 Now gentlemen, as to the settlement with the railroad let me give you brief his tory of the matter; there were IA of these cases; they were in court for nearly two years; we were then approaching that time when we would have to assess the railroads for the taxes of 1905. We felt sure, fellow citizens, that the railroads would enjoin us again; we stood in the very shadow of Federal injunction for each years assess ment until these suits should be tried clear through the Supreme Court of the United States, which under ordinary circumstances would have been from to years In the meantime contention over vast sum of money would be piling up in the Federal courts, a sum so large that 1t is dangerous for any court Tn these times of corporate in- fuence and power to be called to pass upon. Senator Clarke our attorney, gave battle to every railroad lawyer of prominence in the United States, and l leave it to them to say whether or not he is good fighter He whipped them all to their knees until they came before the Board and said: gentlemen, we have enjoined you from certifying out our property Tor taxation upon a basis which brings about difference between us of $550, ,000.11; if you will modify your assess ment we will be compelled to pay only $350- 000.00 on this disputed valuation-we will pay you this sum; we will pay all of the court costs, and we will pay your lawyers fee After consultation the board agreed to accept this proposition, and the suits which the railroad company had brought against the board were dismissed, and this settle ment was made, and S350, ,000. .00 in cash was collected by the various sheriffs of the state by reason of this controversy in excess of their taxes on the basis of 1902, which they had already paid, for 1903 and 1904.

you we had no suit against the railroads; the railroads had sued our board, and when this proposition was made they withdrew their suits. Mark you again, my fellow citizens, that the state had no liqudated demand against the railroad companies; we did not have their promssory note or bond; we sim ply had a lawsuit involving $550,000.00 They offered us $350 100000 our lawyers fee and all expenses, and 1 say to you today that we would have been fools not to have ac cepted 1t. To make it more simple, so that any child may understand this question, Ii one of you gentlemen in the audience should get his leg cut off, and your lawyer would sue them for $50,000.00, and the railroad should offer you $35,00000 as a compromise and offer to pay your lawyers fees, and all the costs, wouldn't you be fool not to take It.. What IS good financiering in private at- fairs is good in public matters and we would have been untrue to you and to your inter est if we had not settled these cases; but MT. Rogers says that we paid Governor Clarke too much fee; that we paid him $3O- O0O0O This is not true. We did not pay him cent The railroads paid him fee which was agreed upon by all of the at torneys, and which he justly deserved. | don't care how much they paid him. wish they had paid him more. This settlement is the best piece of fnancering that has ever been accomplished for Arkansas in the mat ter of assessing railroad property, for the reason that we not only collected this vast sum of money, but we fixed new basis of as- sessment, providing that if the railroads should ever enjoin us again, the courts will say to them, you must pay the taxes on your property on the basis of your compromise for the year 1905, which is greatly in excess ot the basis for 1912 that is, my fellow citizens, if we ever have another lawsuit with them about taxes, we have not moved the valuation up notch or two."
The Prescott daily news., 1914-03-24

Has Clarke done anything for Prescott and Nevada county? Yes at the last session of the Congress he secured an appropriation of $55,000.00 for a post office building in Prescott. Anything that improves the post office business at Prescott improves that bus mess all over the county.
 It has been charged that the Senator is a Catholic and votes with the Catholics in the Senate This is untrue. Senator Clarke is a Methodist and freemason and anyone who knows anything at all knows that a Methodist and FreemaSon is not Catho- lie.
 Would Senator Clarke be at the head of the Democratic party in the Senate if he were not a thoroughbred Democrat? Would he be chairman of the greatest committee in the Senate if he was not in harmony with the party? Would he have ever been elected to the United States Senate if the people of Arkansas hadn't known that he was a Demo- crat and in sympathy with the people?
 What Does Senator Clarke Believe In?
 He believes in letting the Mexicans fight their own fights he does not believe in send ing 100000 American boys to Mexico to be killed in order to stop row among the Mex jeans. He believes in and helped to lower the tariff on the necessities of life. He be- lieves in and helped to fix the money market of the government so that panics will be thing of the past. He believes in Arkansas and has always voted for Arkansas inter- ests. He believed in the Panama canal and cast the deciding vote in the Senate that it might be built.
 THAT S3O,OOO.OO FEE.
 It has been charged that the State Tax Commissioners paid Senator Clarke fee of $30,000.00 for settling case against the railroads. This is absolutely false The Tax Commission, composed of Governor Jeff Da- the settlement as will appear from speech wis, o. C. Ludwig and Dr. A. E. Moore made

clothes for the cOpper's uniform and

the adventurer, Alfred Wilson, returns.
With this double case of confused
identities-the two Gladwins and the
real and mock pOliceman-the story is
rich in opportunity for amusing situa-
ton. These are often wildly farcical.

Mr.. George Webb's role as the real

for effective work. Most of the few
serious moments of the play are given
to this character. 1t has attributes Of
jaunty sureness and rapid-fire action
which fit his stage presence very we'll
His own part never descends to bur-

Mr.. Guy Hitner is the gentlemanly
