Man and Woman.

\ great deal of class prejudice still
existsin high and most unexpected
quarters in spite of the enlightened
age. For instance, the big general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
in session at Chicago, frowned
down an overture which sought to
give women the right to serve as
ruling elders, and the general confer
ence of the NJ, E. Church South, in
session in Oklahoma City a couple
of weeks ago, denied laity rights to
women.
These recurring efforts for the OBJ
Iteration of sex distinction are
manifestations of the same force
which finds expression so often OF

Of women for the ballot, the same
privilege which men enjoy in church
life, and the right Of intellectually

Front Yards

One OF the great mistakes Of the
homcbuldcr Of this city is that they
did not set their houses further back
and make larger front yards, 1t
would have made the city 50 much
handsomer and the people in the
homes so much happier There is
no need of such big back yards.
They are something ofR nuisance,
but a front yard, with grass, bushes
and trees, is a blessing to the family
and all who pass that way The
origin Of this defect Is sclhshncss=

pearing at Pine Bluff and asking for

Under our form of popular govern
ment there has been since the found
ing Of our nation, a conflict OF
opinion between statesmen and
political leaders, over the question
Of letting the people know about
public matters, One school of
statesman contend that it is a
dangerous thing to let the people
know what is going on. Another
school maintains that the people
may be expected to vote intelligent
ly and right on every question
There are two sides to every
question, and good arguments can
be put upon both sides Of this
question. But, as a matter of fact,
each passing year sees the onward
victorious sweep Of the principle
that the people rule. The people
may be trusted to do the right thing
at the right time. THE public has
a right to know is a proposition
which has become an issue in Ark

LIVESTOCK MARKET.


Kansas City Stock Yards, April
7.-The cattle supply here today is
6000 head, and the estimate for to-
morrow is only 5000 head. Sales
yesterday we're strong to 10 higher

Colorados sold at $7.75, to S.55 yes

Stockers and feeders are 25 to 40
cents higher than a week ago, and
trade in that department has been
up to the limit of the supply for
the last week. AS usual at this sea-
son. stock cattle are more wanted
than feeders, particularly in view
of the bad action of the fat cattle
market up to this time. 1t has
been recently shown that the only

CLEAN CAMPAIGNS.

(From McAlester News-Capital)
The News-capital would like to
see the campaign for the Democrat
ic nomination for governor in this
state pitched upon higher plane
and all practices which have the ap-
pearance of strong arm work elimin-
ated.
There has been entirely too much
mud singing and muck raking for
the early stages of the campaign
and, If it is to be continued, before
the date for the primary arrives the
Democratic voters will become dis
gusted and come to the conclusion
that none of the men who employ
such tactics or permit their friends
to do so, are qualified for governor.
Let the race be contest between
gentlemen. Each candidate assert
ing his claims for preferment with
out making statements that are de-
rogatory to his opponents.
The News-Capital is of the opinion
that all OF the bonafide candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
governor are honorable men who
would make fairly good governors
IL they are fortunate enough to Sc
cure the nomination and are elect
ed in November. No halo surrounds
the heads of any Of them, yet one
might speak the truth and recount
more deeds of virtue than of vice in
any of them.
What the Democratic party needs
above all things else in this state is
a man of sufficient breadth OF char.
acter, good common sense and dip
lomacy to bring the warning elements
of the party together; and mar
who does not exercise self control
and due consideration for others a;
candidate. is lacking in this quail
ification.
The Democratic party is RESPONSE
BILE for the government of this stat,
and so long as it retains the conf
dence and esteem of the people o.
the state il will remain in power. Tt
cd this. small petty politics shoulC
be laid aside and a policy adopted
assuming that what is for the bes
interest of the state is best for tn,
Democratic party.
The Democrats are in control o
this state because larger number o
the people believe in the principles o
the Democratic party and not be
cause they are chosen people" The
party in this state must not be un
mindful of the fundamental princi
pies upon which is founded or con
clude that the placing of its adher
ents in office is the end of its ac
complishments. A Democrat wht
does not hold high standard ant
make one of the best officials, whit
does not strive to 1--we up to th,
principles and tenets of his party, i
not entitled to promotion. and If h
occupies an official position, th'
sooner he is reduced to the rank
the better it will be for the part.
and the constituents he serves.

Many newspapers editorially ex-
press qualification at the annuonce-

viii be candidate for United States

speak in the highest terms of his
qualifications. Judge Hayes is a
man of strong force of character.
and one who stands upon principle
and not on politics. Should he be
elected Senator from Oklahoma, his
services would be credit to this
state, and he would be always on the
