The daily papers give out the
news that the state capitol will
probably be turned over to the state
soon. This calls to mind some
thing else. If a new baby arrived
at your house the same year in
which the Arkansas state capitol
was begun he, providing of course
that the baby was a boy, is now
fifteen years of age. The good
Lord only knows what that build
ing has cost the taxpayers of this
state. The people will never know.
The elections held throughout
the country last week clearly dem
onstrated the fact that the Pro.
gressive party is just about at the
end of of its row, which naturally
means that one man named Roose-
welt is probably the deadest duck
that paddles in the whole political
pond, far or near. So mote it be.
Third parties have never prospered
long, and the fizzling of the Pro-
gressive party was to have been
expected.

If all the people would practice
the same economy when times are
flush as they are forced to practice
when times are close, conditions
would have to be almost fearful to
produce hard times When every
thing is plentiful very few of us
give thought to the possibility Of
future drouth or failure, with the
result that when rigid economy is
an absolute necessity there is little
or nothing to save.

We wonder if congress, after hav-
ing for years ANONYMOUSLY failed
to put the cotton gamblers out of
business, would attempt to curtail

congress should do that, those who
are responsible for the deed ought
to be ducked in the creek until the
blubbers come.

The farmer is the most import
ort man in the country. When ne
is prosperous the whole country is
prosperous, and when the result OF
his labor is failure there is gloom
all about. Sometimes it seems to
he a fact forgotten that the coun-
trv's prosperity depends upon the
men who plant and plow and reap.
Especially is this true in times OF
general prosperity. When money
il plentiful and when foodstuffs for
man and beast are at hand for ev-
erybody we are apt to forget where
# all came from and who made it,
hut the time is sure to come when
everybody is brought back to the
fact that the farmer is the man
who makes Big Business and the
man who ought to be encouraged
with wholesome legislation and the
most liberal advantages Every
handicap possible should be re-
moved from the shoulders OF the
men who feed and clothe the coun-
try, and placed upon those who
would profit from their energies by
combining against the real value of
their products.
