We quote the following from a
Little Rock news item;

Little Rock news item
If you we're gong to law
would you get a student to hand'e
an important case, or would you get
an attorney competent to handle any
situation that might arise9"
This is question now often asked
in regard TO the present race Tor the
United States Senate for It so apt'y
states the situation.
Would you send to Washington
a man uuskilled in attending to al
fairs Of a nation? Would you re
place a man who, by hard work and
constantly remaining at his post,
has At last reached the topmost
rang IN the United States Senate,
where he Is IN a position to secure
much for Arkansas, by a man who
has never made a brilliant success
of anything he has attempted!
Holding down a position in the
United States Senate Is not a ditfi-
cult thing if all the Senator dues Is
to draw bis salary, but the Senator
is hardly recognized by his col
leagues. Senator Clarke is not in
that class. and he stands today, on
the very apea fthe esteem in which
a statesman may be held.
Next to President Wilson, stands
Senator Clarke in power in Wash
ington. lie has the power OF The
vice president, with a vote on all
measures in addition. This was
bestowed upon him because Of his
particular fitness for such work,
and because President Wilson aud
Secretary Bryan knew him to be the
man who would not go hunting or
fishing until party measures were
put over.
In the Supreme Court of Arkan-
sas four eminent jurlsts work night
and day in order keep the cases from
swamping the court. The fifth
member Is off running for Office
lie has spent time from bis judicial
duties before TO run for office. lie
has taken much additional time to
go hunting or fishing. Send him
TO Washington aud a report might
come that the ducks were flying in
on the Rappahannock, or that bass
were biting fine, at the very time a
vote was to be taken on an import
amt measure, no matter mw close
the vote, the call would be too strong
to be resisted-it always has in Ark.
ansas, and it is not probable that
Washington atmosphere would
work change.
Senator Clarke has shown himself
competent to handle any proposition
put before him. both before and
after his election as United States
Senator. He should not be set aside
because he has been a success. The
people need success in that high
Office, and there is no cause for ex-
perimenting. Senator Clarke is
now in a position to get much for
Arkansas and he will get it.

The Savannah River,

No one will take seriously the sug-
gestiOn of correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution that there is a
legend" to the effect that the Savan-
nah river was so named because an
Indian chief asked somebody to "Save
Anna" his daughter. who had fallen
from boat into the river But the re-
currence of the puerile joke in the
form Of the suggestion gives occasion
to say that the word savannah" is a
very old one, and philologists tracing
it to its origin go back to ancient
Greek through old Spanish. The Eng
lish meaning of the word, spelled with
out the final "h," tract Of level
land covered with vegetation, usually
grass or reeds, and void of trees or
with trees occurring only occasion
ally. From the savannas along its
banks the river was named. In the
level, grassy savanna is observed some
resemblance to a sheet" which was
one meaning of the word in Greek
Also it meant towel-Savannah

A Vanished Ocean.

In the tertiary period the geograph-
ical confguration of the globe was
steadily approaching that of the pres
ent day. The same holds true for the
faunal aspect and the climate was
verging on the glacial period. 1t was
at this time the great equatorial ocean.
"Tethys,' existed still, and there Is ev-
idence that East India and Africa,
Australia and Asia, north Europe and
North America were united by land
connections. In the latter part Of the
period the ocean ''Tethys" gave place
to mountainous formations, such as
the Alps, Himalayas and Carpathians,
through the folding up of the crust of
the sea. At the same time there were
enormous outpourings Of volcanic ma
terials. Snakes and true birds ad-
vanced rapidly toward their modern
position in this period, which was
characterized also by the maximum
expansion of mammals taking the
place Of the great saurians.-New York

Curious WAYS of the Papuans,

In the Girara country, Papua. a dis
trict of New Guinea, where the coun-
try is almost entirely submerged. the
natives are said to claim descent from
the dog. They possess five totems.
which are drawn on all their houses.
Their villages are erected on hillocks
so as to be clear of the water. and the
people of each village inhabit one large
common house. sometimes as much as
four to five hundred feet long and six
ty to eighty feet in width. The center
of this huge building is kind of COM
mon hall, which is used only by the
men, while the walls of the structure
are divided into cubicles in three or
four floors. access to which is gained
by means of ladders. The women are
not allowed to enter the building by
the same door as the men. A great
deal of sorcery prevails in the western
division. In the wilder parts of the
country the chief Is himself head
sorcerer. He claims to be able to sep
arate his spirit from his body and to
send it on various missions, including
that of killing people.-Argonaut.

A Medical View of BATHING,

Whether or not we believe that cold
baths have virtues which hot baths
can never possess, it is far better to
preach the most advanced gospel of
cleanliness than none at all. The per-
son who bathes frequently is clean
er person both physically and mentally
than he who does not. and If our de
sire Is today to bring about higher
morale among the people at large let
us not cavil at soap because forsooth
1t may be little too strong in alkali.
or at large quantities of water, even
though applied to the body oftener
than once day. For let no one think
for moment that human nature is so
smitten with the idea to keep clean
that it will ever have a maddening de-
sire to use too much soap or water

Siqnificance of Little Thinos.

Significance OF Little Things.
We love little things. we hate little
things, we fear little things. Our
lives are knit up with little things
from the time we are born to the day
we die.
Big things draw us up to heaven or
crush us down to hades. Little things
live beside US on the earth, eat and
sleep with US. laugh and grumble with
us, catch the early train with US or
make us miss 1t. irritate and appease
us-never leave us alone for minute.
That is why they are so much more
important than the big things-the
things that come only once in way.
at long intervals. and even then are
nearly always the result of hundred
and one little things combined.
To be crushed by large misadven-
ture is natural. but to fall victim to
a series of Pc misfortunes is hu-
initiating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once and
for all by falling off a mountain than
to bruise their whole bodies and dis
locate their tempers by the daily STUN
bling over a molehill. 1t is the little
things that count. The satisfaction Of
climbing Mount Olympus is poor sort
Of attainment if the scores and scores
of pleasant details which wait upon
success be Observation-Disclosures.
