THE POLITICAL GAME

There is apparently no end tt
the many strange things that hap
pen in politics, and the fellow off tc
one side, who doesn't want an Of
flee, a political job, or an appoint
ment from the politicians and pow
ers that be, can often get profit
and always amusement, by giving
at least a small portion OF his time
to watching the antics of those who
are in office and almost dead to
stay there, and Of those who are
out of office and are almost dead to
get on the inside of good, fat sal
n ary at the public trough. It's al
most as good as a circus.
And we suppose no state in the
h whole bunch of states has more
true and tried politicians to the
square mile than has this fair Ar
kansas of ours, where we have, by
far, more politicians than the treas
ury will support honestly. There
fore there is no better place from
the Atlantic to the Pacific or from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf to
watch the public's salary-eetters
turn somersaults and kick up their
festive heels than right here in this
beloved state of ours.
Gov. Geo. W. Hays has just ap-
pointed Wallace Davis, son of the
late Senator Jeff Davis, as attorney
General of the state to fill a vacancy
caused by the death of Attorney
General W. L. Moose.
Right now, understand that the
Record had as leave Wallace Davis
should be attorney general of Ar
kansas as the biggest and best law
yer in the state. When this paper
wants information of a legal char
acter we always 90 to the nearest
justice of the peace anyhow, where
we can Get it like it is and without
delay We know nothing to urge
against Wallace Davis as a man
and wouldn't urge it if we did know
something. We have often heard
him spoken of as quite a fine and
bright young fellow. We are think
ine now Of Gov. Hays more than Of
Attorney General Wallace Davis.
Wallace Davis is the youngest
attorney general in the United
States. He is only 27 years of age
But his youth is in his favor If he
is competent to fill the office.
He Is lately from college. And
Sharp County record., 1915-09-24
that makes no difference if he fills
the office we'll

that makes no difference if he fills
the Office we'll.
1t is said of him that he has
never personally had charge of and
conducted a case of importance in
his life. Therefore he must be the
most inexperienced attorney gener-
al in the United States.
He is not licensed to practice in
the supreme court of the state Of
Arkansas or the supreme court of
the United States, and these are the
places attorney generals do their
work. We guess there was never
another instance just like that in
| the history of the United States.
Therefore, it occurs to us, that
when all these facts are considered
one is justified in the assumption
that Gov. Hays was looking for
something else than jam-up good
lawyer to look after the interests of
the state when he named Wallace
Davis attorney general.
In fact, in making the appoint
ment the governor published that
he wanted to honor the memory OF
the young mans father, which is a
noble sentiment, provided the young
man is qualified to step into the
attorney generals office and look
after the business of the state.
When the circumstances are con-
sidered most people cannot avoid
the conclusion that Gov. Hays was
playing politics in this instance
making a bid for the support OF
that great multitude that loved the
father through the appointment Of
the son.
And that's playing the game ac-
cordine to rules The average dis
tressed politician wants little here
below except more votes.
In passing, it ought to be men
toned that members of the state
supreme court, in an unofficial
opinion, apprehend that no difficult
ties will arise because of the fact
that MIR. Davis is not licensed to
practice in that court. They say
the law says the attorney general
SHALL practice in the state su-
preme court and in the supreme
court of the United States. There
fore the conclusion is plain enough
that if a man gets the attorney
Generals Office who is not licensed
to practice in these courts he
SHALL practice there anyhow.

SPEAKER SAWYER
 IN CONGRESS RACE
HOT SPRINGS MAN DECIDES TO MAKE ANOTHER ENTRY IN
 MUCH SOUGHT OFFICE.
Three From Pire Bluff Will Be Can, didates, One From Grant County and Probably Others From This City.

l.. F. Sawyer, speaker of the house of representatives, has all but made formal announcement of his candl- dacy for congress in this congress sional district when the campaign opens next fall While on recent trip home ne whispered among his friends the information, but yester- day gave out the statement to the press in Little Rock that he would most likely be a candidate.
 It is said that Pine Bluff, which .s also in this district, will have three representatives in the field in Chan cellor Elliott who was chairman of the last state convention; T. Havis Nixon, one of the best stump cam- paigners in the state, and Congress man Sam Taylor, who it is expected will come back for a third term.
 Senator Toler of Grant county. and one of the men who fought bitterly the Hot Springs bill in the senate IS an avowed candidate for the congres. sional place, it is reported, It was commonly reported around Little Rock when he was fighting the Saw yer bin that he was building political thunder for his congressional race.
 Hot Springs may nave no other rep resentative in the race but then that is conjecture. Hon w. H. Martin, now United States district attorney has had an eye on the congressional place. and made a strong race the last time against Congressman Fay Tor Judge Thurston r Farmer was also at one time an aspirart fo. con gressional honors
 The announcement of Mr. Sawyer will not be in the nature of a sur prise to his political friends here. since they had anticipated that either he would make the race for congress or for some important state office He was importuned in Little Rock 10 make the race for attorney general and also many asked him to feel out the gubernatoriaI situation.

STRENGTH. FLESH AND BODY BUILDER FOR SPRING.
Run Down, UnderWeight People Put on Ten to Twenty Pounds of
 Healthy Flesh,

Most people show a tendency to iosv weight ii winter. The fat mak. ing material in the foods they eat which at other seasons keep flesh and weight at normal is partially di verted in cold weather and instead is used to furnish heat for the body Then most of us acquire coughs, colds or the grippe waich tear down flesh, Iower vitality, cause a consid erable loss in weight and leave us in d rundown condition in the spring
 Any material loss of weight should be regarded with alarm and prompt measures taken to regain the lost flesh A splendid body builder and flesh producer is found in a prepara- ton known as Sargol which can be found at druggists everywhere and which seldom fails to give the user a weight increase of from ten 10 twenty pounds within a few weeks. SaTgol does not of itself make flesh It is small tablet which readily dissolves in the stomach and, mixing with the fats, sugars and starches of the food you eat, prepares these flesh making materials into form where the blood can easily absorb and distrib- ute them throughout the body It is really amazing how quickly and eas- fly lost flesh and weight return when Sargol is used with your meals With returning normal weight comes too a corresponding return of health, spirits, ambition and vitality and you
 soon feel your old self again. Lead ing druggists everywhere sell and
 recommend Sargol and every pack

paper man. went to the scene. The body, that of light cOmpleXioned man, of good appearance. about 10 years of age, and weighing about 175 pounds, was lying half sliding from a rock on the bank of the creek The head was submerged in the running water of the creek Detective Howell picked the revolver from out of the water.
 Dr. Wood found the sealed envel- ope in the coat of the man, which had been placed over his derby hat on the rock near his side
 The letter gave the address, but regardless of the envelope being coy cred with writing, it was in foreign hand and therefore offered no fur ther information Several visitors present tried to decipher some of the lettering but in vain
 The letter was taken thcn to 315 Benton street, and Mrs. Benson was inquired for. Up to that time, though the letter was addressed to Mrs Ben son. it was believed she was the keeper Of the place where he roome1, and that his name was Griebbe, or something of that sort
 Does Mr Griebbe live herc?' was asked of Mrs. Benson
 She did not know Griebbe. but she immediately inquired if the officers knew anything of the whereabouts of her husband, She said ne had been missing since morning The letter was handed her by Chief Ellison, and she had read but few lines of the Danish before she knew that 1t WIS from him, and that it was his last goodbye
 She inquired quickly where he was and Chief Ellison informed ner in as easy a manner as possible tha, he had killed himself The woman wal gref-stricken.
 Coroner Dr. Wood sent the body to the Ledwidge undertaking establish ment where it was to be held until ] o'clock this afternoon, when an iu- quest will be held.
 Mrs. Benson stated that she and her husband came here from Chicago about three months ago. His health was bad, but nothing serious, and he had been improving She said she had told him during the night before there was nothing for him to worry about, that they had no children, and they had enough to take care of them This did not keep him rom worry ing, and he spent a sleepless night she said.
 He was the noblest best man that ever lived she cried out in her agony. It was apparent there had been no family trouble but that on the other hand business worry and ill-heath had led to the suicide
 Mrs. Benson will probably make arrangements to leave with the body this afternoon, accompanied by friends. for ner home in Chicago. Neighbors whose sympathy had been aroused, were in custody of the dis tressed woman last night
