THE outrageous profigacy and squan-
dering of public money was at the bot
tom of the calling of the state republl-
can convention which met in Madison
last week. But the convention had
another object in view. 1t was to make
a rallying point for the rebuilding of
the republican party. The progress
ives first debauched the state govern
ment by debauching the republican
party. A party is an engine OF destruc-
ton when it is used for plundering the
taxpayer and destroying the industrial
and political liberties of the people.
All that has been done to the republl-
can party of Wisconsin in the name of
progression. The state is governed
through its political machinery. When
that machinery becomes corrupt, self
ish, and Indifferent to the welfare of
the masses, it first shows it's tendency
by profiigate use of the public funds.
In all the years that the old republican
party administered The government OF
this state, it was always watcfiful,
conservative, and patriotic in guarding
the people against excessive taxation.
1t was seen that the only road to relief
| Law in once more establishing sound,
coherent party action, putting the re-

mary reason for calling the Madison
convention. Mole-eyed indeed must the
| taxpayer be who cannot see that the
cause of excessive taxation lies in the
fact that the cohesion of the people in
parties, and through the parties the
expression of their will over the politi-
clan has been destroyed by this hypo-
crical plea for progression. At

ANOTHER man has talked too much.
The state department does not know
just what Geo. Fred Williams said
when he stopped over, but it disap-
proves of it anyway. Our represent
atives in foreign countries are expected
to make speeches but are not permitted
to say anything.

THE movement for sane and safe
4th is working out well. The Chicago
Tribune, which has for years made a
speciality of collecting statistics of 4th
of July accidents. had heard of only
nine fatal accidents up to midnight of
independence day, as against 80 a year
ago and 466 in 1903.

RAIN DISASTROUS
 10 STRAWBERRIES

Today's heavy rain cost the straw berry growers of Conway carload of berries, or at least $l,000, and the forecast for continued unsettled weather with more rain is only adding Encouragement to the unfortunate growers. With clear, warm weather yesterday a carload of berries would have been ready for shipment today, but as it is, the berries that have rip ened are rotting and are unfit for shipment It will take at least two days of fair weather to produce mar ketable berries, and it is probable that one-fourth of the crop has already been irretrievably lost
 The berry raisers have been unfor- tunate for both of the years since the industry was started in this vicinity Last year d fine crop was made and the weather conditions were favora- ble, but the crop was late and came or at the same time with the north Ar kansas and Missouri crops, putting the price down to point where it was unprofitable. This year the price is good and the weather is running the crop,

NEW TIME CARD
 EFFECTIVE TUESDAY
NO TRAINS DISCONTINUED
TRAIN NO. 103 LEAVES CONWAY NEARLY AN HOUR EARLIER,
 MEETING 132 HERE.

As was indicated in a story in the Log Cabin Democrat last week, the new schedule for the Iron Mountain does not discontinue any passenger trains on this part of the division, the report from Fort Smith that trains No. 103 and 104 were to be discon- tinued proving to be incorrect.
 The new time card becomes effec- tive Tuesday, May 5, at 12:01 o'clock a. m, The only change of importance
 in the departure of trains from Con- way will be that of No 103, which will leave at 5:35, instead of 6:20 D. m., nearly an hour earlier. This train will meet and pass the northbound ac- commodation, No. 132, at Conway No. l04 the morning train from Little Rock, will arrive here at 9:22, two minutes later than at present, and No ll9, the southbound fast train from Kansas City, will leave Conway at l2:04 p. m., instead of :59 a. m. a change of five minutes.
 Under the new schedule the trains will depart from Conway as follows

NORTH BOUND.

No. 103 and No. 104, which have heretofore run from Little Rock to Coffeyville, Kan, will now run only to Wagoner, Okla. The traffic between Wagoner and Kansas City will be handled by Mo- l19 and No. 12O.
 Referring to the change of schedule the Fort Smith Times Record says yesterday;
 The time on the fast "hot shots Nos. 119 and 120 will be changed so that passengers going to Coffeyville on train No. l03 will not have long to wait at Wagoner. The fast trains will also be run between Van Buren and this city via Greenwood Junction which will do away with the two cent mile charges from this city to points in Arkansas on these trains. It is al- so stated that the dummy" freight train running between Van Buren and Fort Smith every morning for pur- pose of giving local shippers advan- tage of the intra state freight rates will be discontinued and the Green wood branch accommodation will be run each morning to handle the freight.
 There is strong talk that the off, cials at St. Louis will take some ac- tion on the local rate situation out Of Iron Mountain. Although there is supposed to be two cent rate on the ron Mountain on all intra state tick cts, tickets bought in this city are in. terstate owing to the fact that the trains run through Oklahoma before reaching Van Buren. Whether they will give Fort Smith advantage of the two cent rate as they did at Memphis,
 is unknown.
 From reliable sources of informa- tion it is learned that the Iron Noun tain will soon install the "1200" class engines on this division and that they are going to rebuild their bridge over the Verdigris river north of Clare more, Okla. and retloor the bridge at this city over the Akansas. It has been rumored for some time that the higher power engines would be install ed on the central division, as they will reduce the number of crews and reduce the operating expenses.
 The rebuilding of the railway bridge across the Verdigris will cost about $50,O0O and work will begin as soon as it is definitely known that the heavier engines are to be placed on this division. Heavier steel will also be placed across the Arkansas bridge at this point.
