Advocates OF tho bill in the house

Cleveland, next by President TAFT ana

managers were insistent that the veto
should not be considered until there
had been time for reflection.
Is Not Prcsumptuous.
The president in his message
frankly told the house, which orig
mated the bill, that he had no pride
of opinion on the question and was
not foolish enough to profess to
know the wishes and ideals of Amer

representatives know them
"If the people Of this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-

Secretary Bryan Is Requested to Make
Representation 10 Nicholas
Government.

BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-(By wireless to
London, 7:1O p. mD-Word was re-
ceived here today from Vienna that
the Austrian foreign minister Baron
Stephan Burian, had telegraphed to
Secretary Bryan at Washington eX-
pressing regret that the American
diplomatic representatives in Russia,
into whose care Austrian interests in
that country were committed at the
outbreak OF the war, had not been
able to afford better protection to
Austrian and German prisoners Of
war. Baron Buriau suggested that
the American ambassador at Petro-
grad make new representations to the
Russian government In behalf of the
prisoners.
The condition Of the prisoners,
Baron Burian says, has not been i'm
proved, either in France or Russia;
since Secretary Bryan took action in
their behalf some time ago.
Baron Burian requests telegraphic
reply from Mr. Bryan.
The state department at Washing
ton last month forwarded to Petro-
grad two requests from the Austro-
Hungarian government for better
treatment for Austrian and German
prisoners of war. Especial emphasis
was laid upon allegations that pris-
oners in Siberia camps were being
treated inhumanely 1t also stated
that conditions in French detention
camps were bad. The state depart
mont authorized DR.. Paul Reinsch,
American minister to Peking, to con-
fer with the Russian minister there

ton made by American missionaries

THE TRENTON IDEA.

Publication of story to the
effect that a former trade paper
editor had undertaken to pro-
mote community building through
organizations of business men
and that the Trenton Idea'
would be the foundation of his
work has brought numerous in
quiries from dealers who want
to know what the Trenton
Idea" is.
Briefly, the Trenton Idea"
means cooperation between
small town people and the farm
ers of the community. to the end
that all interests therein may be
united and fostered. This coop
GRAFTON can be obtained through
an organization the membership
of which reaches beyond the
town limits and embraces the
farmers, An organization GEN.
tering in a given town should
open it's doors to all of the farm
ers whose natural trading place
is the town in question.
The idea originated in Tren-
ton, Mo-, something over two
years ago. The town had a COM
mercial club embracing business
and professional men and other
residents of Trenton. At one of
the meetings of the association
the conclusion was reached that
in it's present form the club was
not producing satisfactory re-
suits. Then the Trenton Idea'
was evolved. We are not sure,
but our recollection is that the
suggestion came from T. N. Wit
ten, an implement dealer. At that
time the club had a membership
of $50, all residents of Trenton.
Working along. plans suggested
at the meeting a membership
campaign was inaugurated I'M
mediately and within a year the
membership was increased to
500, over half being farmers liv-
ing within a radius of 20 miles.
We do not know the extent OF
the present membership but no
longer ago than July 10 one OF
the Trenton papers reported that
a petition had been received
from a group Of farmers living
in a certain section of Grundy
county, asking that they be en-
rolled as members. They said
they wanted to do their share in

HON. PATRICK HENRY.

The field marshals for the Southeast
Arkansas Fair are Patrick Henry and
Robert Knox, and evidently the direc-
tors of the Fair Association were seek
ing men of brain ond diplomacy to fill
these positions. as the two young men
selected are thoroughly trained and ex-
perienced attorneys, of Monticello.
Patrick Henry is a former mayor of
Monticello and has rendered much
valuable public service in this commu-
nifty. Mr.. Henry is not native of
Monticello and did not come to this
city until he was grown and had pre-
pared himself for the pratice of law,
but the worthy man always gets a
generous welcome to Monticello and
Mr.. Henry's worthiness was so appre-
ciated that three years after he came
here he was elected mayor of the city
and served three successive terms, and
was later called upon to fill an unex-
pired term.
Mr.. Henry was born at Brandon,
Miss, August 10, 1879, being son of
former Congressman Patrick Henry of
Mississippi. He attended the free
schools of his home and finished his
education at the University of Missis-
sippi, being tgraduated in 1899. The
| following year he entered the law de-
partment of that university and by
completing the two years course in
one year received the degree of Bache-
lor of Laws. in June 1900. In Septem-
Der of that year Mr.. Henry came to
Monticello, having selected this city as
good place in which to cast his lot
IL Il nj
ted to the bar and began the practice
of his profession in partnership with
schoolmate, Walter Weatherford,
but this partnership was ended the
following March by the death of his
partner. A short while later Mr..
Henry formed partnership with
Judge Henry W. Wells which continu-
ed until Judge Wells was elected pros
ecuting attorney in 1902. From that
time Mr.. Henry practiced alone until
early this year when he formed part
nership with j. S. Harris under the
firm name of Henry & Harris, and the
firm has the promise of becoming one
of the strongest firms in this section
of the state. Mr.. Henry was deputy
prosecuting attorney under Prosecuting
Attorney Dick Quincy until his death
and then held the same position under
T. B. Morton, Mr.. Quincy S successor.
He was elected mayor in 1903 and filled
that position so satisfactorily that he
was twice reelected. He was succeed
ed by judged. G. williamson and when
Judge Williamson resigned because he
removed out Of the city limits Mr..
Henry was called back to the mayors
office to fill the uhexpired term. Mr..
Henry also served as chairman of the
Democratic County Central COMMITTEES
of Drew County and is now member
of the. city school board. These Hon
ors show that he has met with much
favor in Monticello and the able man..
ner in which he has filled every office
shows that the trust imposed in him
was not misplaced.
Mr.. Henry was married October 3,
1905, to Miss lone Thompson of Little
Rock, daughter of the late Prof. Wood
Thompson, formerly of Monticello and
one of the best educators the state
has produced. They have two sons,
Patrick, aged 9, and Wood Thompson,
aged 7. Monticello, Ark, Advance.
