That the fly is a peripatetic and what the politicians call good mixer is we'll known. The linear extent of his peregrinations is. however. still a matter of dispute. And as he certainly carries with him and distributes infec- tion, whenever there is any to be had. the more or less exact determination of his maximum range is of great prac- tical importance. At one time he was thought to be very much of home body" never wandering more than a few hundred or a thousand feet from his birthplace. Then observations made in England and elsewhere threw doubt upon this conclusion, and it was finally proved that he may travel at least mile from home.
 Now comes along Prof C. F. Hodge with 600 per cent extension of the record, and the opinion that flies are able to travel much farther than is commonly supposed. New York Eve ming Post

IN MEMORIAL.

To the Worshipful Master and Breth-
 ren of Prairie Grove Lodge No.
 406, F. and A. M:
 We, your committee on resolutions, respectfully submit the following:
 Whereas, on the 29th day of Sep tember, 1913, God in his wisdom and love called to his reward Brother Theodore F. McGlone. He was born in Carter county, Kentucky Novem- Der p, 1881, came to Arkansas in 1852, joined Walnut Grove Baptist church in 1855 and in the same year was married to Minerva Woodwork. He was made a Mason in Enola lodge No. 124 at Mt Vernon, Ark, in 1870, and was transferred to Prairie Grove lodge No. 406 at Enola, Ark, about the year 1885. He leaves a wife and one daughter and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
 Resolved, That in the death of Brother McGlone this lodge loses a true and loyal member, and the cause of Masonry a staunch friend and be- liever, his wife devoted husband and the community a good citizen.
 Be it further resolved, That page of the record book be left to his mem ory and these resolutions be furnish ed to the Log Cabin Democrat for publication.

ARISTOCRAT VS. DEMOCRAT.

In a speech delivered at Toledo a few days since, Secretary of State William J. Bryan said:
 There are just two standpoints from which people look at the prob lens of society. One is the aristo- cratic and the other is the democrat ic. need hardly explain that the word democrat is not used in a partisan sense, but in the sense that both Jefferson and Lincoln used it in speaking ot a government in which the people rule
 We doubt if there could be found an utterance which so aptly describes in so few words the distinction be- tween the two senatorial candidates in Arkansas, Senator James P. Clarke and Judge William F. Kirby. h. herently and by environment, Senator Clarke is essentially an aristocrat and he views the problems of the nation from the aristocratic standpoint. Unlike his late colleague, Senator Jeff Davis, Senator Clarke has always shown a distaste for mingling and as sociating with the common people. He may stand before them and eX- pound in a learned manner the ab- stract theories of government, but he never comes down on an equal plane with the people to say and do the things that get close to their hearts. To him, apparently, the volce of the people is but the howl of the rabble. to which educated and rehned persons should pay no attention.
 On the other hand, William F. Kirby is a democrat-a democrat Tn the sense that Mir. Bryan uses the word as well as a Democrat in party politics. He likes to get out and shake hands and talk with the people {; to be among them and one of them. A poor man himself, his sympathies are with those who have been unfor- tunate in the accumulation of worldly goods. The most humble citizen may approach him with the assurance Of a cordial greeting and a courteous hearing.
 Neither of these two gentlemen Is to be blamed or praised for his char acteristics. It is just as natural, as inbred, as unconscious for Senator Clarke to be an aristocrat as 1t IS for Judge Kirby to be a democrat. The same might well be said of Pres idert Taft as entrusted with Presi- den Wilson. But the day of the ari. tocrat, for generations all power ful in the United States senate, IS rapidly passing away.

to buy stationery and newspapers, but instead of taking the newspapers he took the money. In order to be cer- tain about, however, I wrote the sec retary of the United States senate, and he replied that it is the custom to appropriate $125 year for stationery and newspapers, and the general GUS tom for senator is to buy what sta tionery he requires and take a check for the balance.
 "The senator bought in 1909, $9.74 worth of stationery and newspapers and took check for the balance, S115.23.
 In 1910 he bought S764 worth of stationery and newspapers and took a check for the balance, $117.31.
 "In 1911 he only bought $3.02 worth of stationery and newspapers, but he took a check for the balance, $121.98.
 "In 1912 he spent $225 for station cry and newspapers, and took check for the balance, S122.75.
 "Is it any wonder there is general complaint that the senator never an- swers the letters of his, constituents? I know of only one man north of the Arkansas river who has received a re- ply to his letter. He paid the salaries of clerk and messenger to his street car manager and his children at school, and got little stationery and few newspapers, but he always took a check for the balance. The senator is mad He is exceeding wroth. He doesn't speak to me any more. He says Judge Kirby's method of cam paigning is an outrage. But l am on- ly talking about the things he admits he has done-he admits it in his sign ed statements and the records show if y

The resemblance Is even more vivid in the case of the city than of the metropolitan police on account of the Roman character of the city's helmet

KIRBY DIGS INTO
 CLARkE'S RECORD MONEY SENATOR'S cop
JURIST ALSO TELLS WHY HE DECLINED TO CAMPAIGN
 WITH OPPONENT.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-No political development in long time has caused so much comment as the refusal of Judge W. F. Kirby to meet Senator J. P Clarke in joint discussion.
 q refused to meet Senator Clarke" said Judge Kirby, because he has ad- mitted that all the charges made against him are true.
 Because he is personally discour- teous and uncivil to me, and 1 have no disposition to have personal al tercation with him, not considering that such row would tend to party harmony or personal dignity.
 And because he is defeated now.
 "The overwhelming sentiment of the people of the state is against him, and have no disposition to allow him to direct my part of the campaign, or to assist him in getting audiences before which to explain his record. He is entirely out of touch with the people, and it is up to him to renew his ac- quaintance the best way he can." Beginning this week, Judge Kirby is spending two weeks of strenuous | mpaigning in Northeast Arkansas, making 25 speeches, from two to four daily, in the counties of Clay, Greene, Craighead, Mississippi, Cross, Lee, St. Francis, Monroe, Arkansas, Prai- rie and Lonoke He will return to Little Rock on the 14th and 18th for i the purpose of delivering an address before the Arkansas Good Roads As sociation.
 The friends of Judge Kirby are commenting his course in refusing to meet an antagonist whom he had once invited to a joint campaign, but who became so personally discourteous to him that a joint campaign could have resulted only in unpleasantness. That he is growing stronger daily is the opinion of those who have followed his course carefully.
 In discussing Senator Clarke's rec ord, Judge Kirby said:
 'In addition to gobbling up the sal avy of the clerk to the Committee on the Disposition of L selesa Papers in the executive department, a useless committee that never meets, by paying it to Charles l.. Watkins for staying in Argenta and managing his street railway; and that of the messenger to said committee by paying it to his children at school, S15,800 in four years, the senator could not refrain from taking the small appropriations he could get his hands on.
 The senator loves money, he wor- ships no god but money. An appro- priation of Sl25 a year is made each senator for stationery and newspa- pers. Did the senator purchase sta tionely and newspapers with this al lowance? Nay, not so. Not on your life. In Senate Document No 954, page S4, appears this entry: James | r. Clarke, for communication of allow ance for stationery and newspapers for fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, I$122.75. In No. 115, page 10S, same entry for year ending June 30, 1911, and in Document No. 668, pages 65 and 97, for years 1909 and 1910, and sums of $121.98, S11526, and $117.31, respectively. I thought they meant that the senator was given the money
