PRESS OPINIONS
THE LAST CARPET.BAGGER.
((ShrevepOrt TimesO


 The remarkable thing about the ca reed of Powell Clayton, now dead, is not that he was the last of the nota- bl carpet-baggers, Northern man who had served as Governor of Ar kansas and United States Senator from that state, but that for forty years after Arkansas became surely Democratic, he, as national commit teeman, exercised an important in fluence upon national Republican pol tics.
 Born in Pennsylvania, Clayton be- came union soldier in Kansas, and at the close of the Civil war settled in Arkansas. When his office holding ended in 1877, he entered upon a ca reer of party management which, considering his residence, has hardly had a parallel in our history. A Grant man, a third-tC1mer, standpat- ter foe of Democracy, an extreme representative of the idea that gov ernment should repose in the hands of the few and direct the fate of the many, he, man from, Arkansas, a state which never after carpet-bag days cast an electoral vote for Re publican candidate, nevertheless on many occasions stood high in the party councils which determined the fate of presidential candidates and prepared for them their platforms.
 Clayton's influence in Republican politics was the influence of the shrewd maaipulator who knew how tc | corral delegates in national conven- tions and deliver them where they | would do the most good. The train 1 ing he received in carpet-bag days served him in good stead when he left the senate. His activities were in the nomination of Republican can. didates for president. never in active public affairs, and it was a business which he made pay him.
 Powell Clayton retained a nom.>s residence in Arkansas. but for year. he was without influence in tn, states politics. His passing the othel day was without significance to tn, people of Arkansas, and few are lief to mourn him.

THE FRANCO -PRUssIAN WAR OF 1o'o-1071..

they were placed in the field under Marshall Canrobert. This brought the total French fighting force up to little more than 350,O0O men, who were scattered over battle line of about one hundred miles in length, through Strassburg, the Palatinate, Metz, St. Avoid, Thionville, Nancy, Chalos, and the fortress of Belfort.
 These were the position of the two Opposing armies late in July almost the same time of the year when the present great European war had it's beginning when King William of Prussia went to the front to take personal command of his forces, with Count Helmuth von .Moltke as second in command. A few days after the. war of 1914 began, despatches report ed that Kaiser William, son of Will liam i. had gone to the front to take personal command Count Julius von Moltke is his Chief-of-Staff.
 The first shot of the Franco-Prus- sian war was fired at Seabruck Aug ust 2, 1870, when the Freneh ;inder Gen. Possard attacked and routed the Germans. The result of the battle was unimportant, strategically. There was slight fighting at Seabruck few days ago. !i,if <; 'e [
 Two days. later, on August I. the first serious conflict of the war of 1870 occurred, at ,Weissenburg, where the German advance guard was at tackled by tho | French under Gen. Douay. la1

THE POOR MEAT PACKERS.

"As the situation stands today the packers are losing money" testifles representative of one of the big western packing housese in the John Doe inquiry into the reason for the rise in the price of food instituted by the district attorney of New York City.
 Let us be entirely fair to the meat packers. It is no time to call names, as Ogden Armour pointed out the other day, and we should not get hys- teriCal about a little thing like doubl- ing the already high cost of living on us. There is no reason why the pub- Tic should not stand to be milked, even if the flies do sting.
 Anybody who is disposed to be fair can see where the packers were los ing money right along. Instead of leaving the price of beef cattle where it was before the war when they ad- VdHCcu lHe pllCe OI Deel, they mlSAt have reduced the price of the pro- ducer, and they might have raised the price of meat to the consumer higher than they did. It's possible to figure out how they are losing a whole lot of money.
 The difference between the price the producer gets and the cost to the consumer shows that the packers have always lost heap of money in the packing business. Most of the packers have piled up their vast fortunes by crap shooting and play ing the races. The packing business has been merely a diversion.

 < FXYS.

Another iliustration that publicity fiji. public affairs pays the public is furnished by an incident taking place last inpnth iii Jefferson county, Tex as, where tiie commissioners. court awarded contract for 15o,oOO or nicft, cubic yards of clan shells to be uyed in road building at stipulated prite of 70 cents per cubic yard. About four days afterwards the news parers discovered that such a con tract had been awarded, and gave the transaction publicity. As railroads we're buying shell for o7 12 cents per cubic yard, the resultant criticism of the commissioners forced from them a defense of their action. wiiich was made at a special meeting called by the county judge, who invited the tax payers to be present. The defense of the commissioners was that they had been compelled to pay 75 cents yard and they believed they were saving money for the county by executing a contract for TO- cents a yard. although 15O,UoO yards formed quantity con- siderable in excess of that the coun- ty had been using in a year, and they believed themselves justified in awarding the contract WITHOUT ADVERTISING FOR BIDS.
 Two dealers in shells at the meet ing offered to furnish the shell at 5C cents per cubic yard, and expressed willingness to post $1O,O00 to carr, out the contract. The upshot of the matter was that the commissioners were forced to abrogate the contract and will advertise for bids. In view of the offers of the meeting, it is likely the Texas Jefferson county will gets it's shell for something like 5C cents instead of 70 cents.
 This savings to the taxpayers was brought about solely through publi city.
 It is such instances as these that demonstrate the advisability of Ar kansas voters supporting act NO. ; the publicity bill.

FIGHTING FOR THE FATHERLAND

Many scenes of enthusiasm are being witnessed at railroad stations and steamship docks in this country, when reservists leave their homes here 10 fight for the old country. Not being under compulsion. this step is one thew should reflect upon care fully. These aliens are commonly boys, in mind if not in age, and they may well ask advice of their wisest leaders.
 When Greece declared war against Turkey. every other bootblack stand and fruit store in the large cities was stripped of it's workers. Most of these young patriots had fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters at home. A winning fight against cruel Turkey meant better conditions of living for the old folks at home. Many of the Greeks had obtained a sub stantial foothold here, with little established business These they generously gave up, in most case. never to take them up again. It was noble illustration of patriotic de votion.

The Dawn of Christianity
As Des cribed in .-. THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

27. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the par ents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
 2S. Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
 29. Lord, now lettest thou thy ser want depart in peace, according to thy word:
 30. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
 31. Which thou hast prepared be- fore the face of all people;
 32. A light to tighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel
 33. And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
 34. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold. this child is set for the fall and ris- ing again of many in Israel; and for sign which shall be spoken against;
 35. (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thine own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be re- vealed.
 36. And there was one Anna, a prophecies, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser she was of great age, and had lived with an hus- band seven years from her virginity;
 37. And she was widow of about fourscore and four years, which de- parted not from the temple, but serv- cd God with. fastings and prayers night and day 'F
 3S. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all thenfy that locked for redemption in Jerusalem.
 39. And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee: to their own city Nazareth.
 40. And the child grew, and waxed and the gra:e of God was upon him.
 fl. Now his parents went to Jerl- salem every year at the feast of the passover. /.-.-
 AZ. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
 43. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarrid behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
 A. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a days journey; and they sought him among their kinfolk and acquaint- ance.
 45. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
 46. And it came to pass. that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and ask ing questions.
 47. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
 AS. And when they saw him, sney were amazed: and his mother said un- to him, Son, why hast thou thus delat with us behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
 49. And l., said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Fathers business?
 30. And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
 51. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was sub ject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
 52. And Jesus increased in wis dom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
