No.one will:take issue with New Or
leans newspaper concerning the party affili-
alton of Hon. John: M. Parker. No one
claimed that Mr.. Parker was a republican.
The republican party is regular party,
with rules and syste n, clogged with too
much disipline for M. Parker who
is and always has been, a boIter.
To have joined an organization with fixed
purposes and coherent views was out of the
question for Mr.. Parker.
Mr.. Parker will never affiiate7with any
party that he can not dominate. He is the
whole cheese in the progressive party and
will stay there until he sees fit to disrupt it
with his rndical schemes and,opinions.
The bite est enemy of the progressive
party could wish it nothing worse than its
domination bv Mr.. Parker. If Mr. Parker
cannot disrupt it-then it is indeed inyul-
nerable.

Some one has stirred up trouble in Tex
as about the high rate of interest in that
State
Even the Bankers Committee has seen
fit to defend the lenders against the charge.
The rate charged seems to have been some
where around fourteen per cent.
In our opinion these kickers are guilty
of the basest ingratitude.
In these days man should congratulate
himself if he can 60 in the bank without
getting the CLASSY stare. He should be
ham-strung for kicking about a little matter
of interest. Why not just add it to the
principal at maturity.

We've got a hunch,. and, believe
us, it's a good one, that the lovin' lit
tie couple who are going to be mar
ried some time soon crowded way up
to the frontermost two seats of the
dim auto truck and just "set' there
holdin' hands. He didn't care espe-
cially whether the ticket ancharged
him a dollar or a dime. He was car
ried away, by her as well as by the
Jitney bus.
Somebody's grandmother just
couldn't understand why the Clark
street car was tied up so long. She
eventually willingly paid a dime to
ride home in real limousine. 1t was
a good dimes worth of treat.
Chicago, all told, was not half as
shocked at the street car strike as
folks expected it to be. That is to
say, the people were not shocked at
the getting home difficulty. Truth to
tell, the difficulty was overcome in
great shape by going-home time.
Somebody who was a little tired
out and had to wait a couple of min
utes for a bus started roasting the
street car men for striking. He was
standing at the corner of Clark and
Madison streets. A crowd was
around him. Somebody with a cool
er head stepped up and explained the
whole situation to him. He told him
how much Busby and Blair received
a year. Then how much the men re-
ceived. He mentioned the mems fam
lies. He mentioned rent and gro
Gerry bills.
The tired man who had done lit
tie roasting wasn't too tired to be
able to be convinced. He quit roast
ing, He climbed up in a jitney bus
and merely said: Its too bad peo-
pie don't stop to think this thing out.
You get different opinion when you
consider all things concerned. I'll
pay my little OF dime until the men
get what they want.

ISN'T IT THE TRUTH?

There are fancier towns than your own little town; there are towns that are bigger than this, and the D ople who live in the tinier towns all the city excitement miss. There are things you can see in the wealth fer towns that you can't in the town that is small, and yet-up and down there is no other town like your own little town after all. It may be the streets through the heart of your town isn't long, isn't wide, isn | straight, but the neighbors you know in your own little town with a well come your coming wait. In the glfttering streets of the glittering town with it's palace and pavements and wall, in the midst of the throng You will frequently long for your own little town after all.

 Charles X had the distinction of marching an army over the ice upon the surface of the Baltic sea. That was in 1658. England's coldest year was that of 1700 The earth was frozen to a depth of nine feet Twen- feet of snow fell in Portugal in the year 1744.
 The French army enjoys the distinc tion of having captured fleet of war ships. The vessels were anchored off the coast of Holland in the win ter of 1793 and were frozen in. The French troops marched out to them on the ice and captured them. The disaster to Napoleon in Russia occur red in 1913. More than half of his army froze to death It was not the coldest winter ever experienced in Russia, but it was a severe one, and has been equaled but few times.

COLD WEATHER

This has been a pretty severe win Ire up to date but it hasn't broken any records. History is full of cold weather facts that pale into insigni- ficance the kind of weather we have been having. Our own records go back only about fifty years, so far as the weather bureau is concerned, but severe weather is noted throughout the records of the past that have to do wiht the human race.
 Probably the coidest day ever ex- perieneed in this country WAS that known as the cold New Years-Jan- nary l, 1S64 The temperature was many degrees below zero as far south as Florida, and our soldiers in the field were frozen 10 death in many instances. Accurate records were not kept all over the country. but the temperature ranged from twenty 10 forty degrees below zero all over the Fntedi States.
 But to get further back in his tory. For twenty days in he year 401, and again for many lays in 70S the Black Sea was froz- en over. and cavalry made long marches on the ice.

and shipping facilities to farm land values The value of farm lands per acre in Illi- nois is S9503; Iowa. S82.58; Ohio, S53.34 while in Arkansas it is s1413 These fig ures constitute the average value through out the State, mountain and bottom lands and without farm buildings and equip n,ent
 The value of farm property and equip ment per acre in the States named are as follows: Illinois, S120o8; Iowa, S110.4O; Ohio, S78.93, and Arkansas, S22 or.
 It is evident that Arkansas needs more railroad mileage But it is impossible, un- der the present two-cent rate, by which the railroads are losing instead of making money, for them to build needed extensions and spend money on improvements and equipment, etc. It is equally unlikely that capital can be enlisted in railroad building in Arkansas where under such law fair return on the investment cannot be ex- pected. The railroads are asking the peo- ple through the legislature, to restore the taree-cent rate and to pursue policy of encouraging railroad building and exten- sion to develop the States magnificent re- sources. They take this means of present. ing their case plainly to the people of the State, believing in their sense of justice and fair play. Help bring prosperity back to Arkansas by writing your senator and rep lesentatlve to vote for the restoration of the three-cent passenger rate.

Development of the States Resources De- pendent Upon Adequate Railroad Facilities

The mutual interest of the farmers, man. ufacturers and merchants with the rail- roads must be apparent almost at glance It matters not how rich the soi it's value must depend upon the facilities for reaching market for it's products
 To illustrate: Arkansas has the largest peach orchard in the world; the peaches gre sent in carloads and trainloads, and not only go to the large Eastern cities, but have even been shipped to Europe. But of what value would these peaches be without rail- road facilities to get them to market? Hence the progressive farmer seeking a To- cation in the Stae wants to know what transportation facilities exist. Also, it is in evidence that the value of farm lands is in direct ratio to transportation facilities
 Arkansas, with an area of 53,335 square miles, has a railway mileage of 5,396 miles, or about one mile of railroad to ten square miles of area. The great farming States of Illinois and Iowa have more than double the railway mileage per square mile than Arkansas has. Illinois has 13,111 miles of railroad, Iowa has 10,161. Illinois has mile of railroad to four square miles of ter ritory approximately; Iowa, mile of rail- road to five square miles of territory; Ohio, with only Al ,040 square miles of territory, has 9,463 miles of railroad, or a mile or rail- road to four and one-half miles of terri tory
 In this connection, it is interesting to note the direct effect of railroad mileage

SHEDDING UP THE
ALASKA RAMROAD

Secretary Lanes statement that the construction work will be commenced on the Alaska railroad is reassurine.
 Taken in conjunction with Presi. dent Wilson's previous conference with members of the Alaska Engin- eering commission, it demonstrates that the administration is planning to push work on the federal line dur ing 1915.
 The President presumably is pre- pared without delay Go exercise the authority vested in him by the rail- road act and select the route that the railroad shall follow. in accordance with the result of the surveys com pleted by the commission last year
 The statement was made several days ago that the preliminary report of this body was practically complete and it undoubtedly is in the hands of the chief executive by this time. He. therefore. is In position to act in- telligently upon this important mat ter.
 or almost as much interest is his decision in regard to the existing lines. Certain propositions of lease or sale have been made to the government by at least one of these corporations and it is probable that if Che nation desires 1t can have all Of these prop critics.
 It remains, however for Mir Wilson to decide whether it win be advisable to make investments in the lines al- ready constructed or devote Che money that Congress shall appropriate to the construction Of additional trackage
 In any event Mr. Lanes statement and the attitude assumed by the Pres ident leave no room for doubt that Congress will be informed of the ad- ministration's plans at an early hour. In this way appropriations can bel made in ample time Co permit tue commencement Of actual construction early in the Spring.-(Seattle Times
