At Cactus Park Tomorrow

The object of "Marcopa County Good Roads Fay" is to build and repair roads-and something more All the good that will bc accomplished in Cactus Park tomorrow will not be there. IT. timatcy the good results of that days work will be widely distributed In consequence of it there will be better roads in the Buckeye country, about Glen dale and in the vicinity of Mesa; in every part of the country. The gnthinking may not at first be able to trace the relation between the improved thorouehfares 1r these places and the work that will pe done at Cactus Park tomorrow. But the lation will be none the less real.
 The first direct result of Good Roads Day will be in the promotion of the spirit of co-opera- lion but that spirit will move only in those present. It is therefore desired that there shall be pouring at Cactus Park tomorrow morning.

 POETESS Her Reflections in Prose and Verse (All Rights Reserved)
CHAPTER XVII.

 In these chapters l endeaVOr to com
 bine as much variety, both in the topics
 chosen and the manner of their treat
 ment, as possible. Last week my con tribution was devoted to natural his tory; this week, for the first piece, submit some rather didactic lines. It has been said that, for the average reader didactic verses are about as interesting as the multiplication table But inasmuch as I do not often sin in this particular, l trust that mine may be found otherwise. Contrasts Truth smiles like d white robed maiden, Awaiting the bridegrooms kiss, l But FalsehOod, a leerinE demon, | Is black as the nights abyss. | And Pity, a sweet-voiced angel, Cutreaches a hand to save; But Hate is fanged as d bloodhound That harries the covering slave. Humility stoops to conquer Yet risete higher than all; ] But Pride has a spirit naughty That "goeth before a fall" | And Honor is fair and manly, He fights in the open field; But Treachery waits in ambush, And stabs with d knife concealed. And Virtue is pure and holy While Vice is a monster fell; And Love is the child of heaven, But Lust is the spawn of hell. The following verses can be termed hortatOry, rather than ddactic ill character: All for One and One for All Who is there can formulate Better motto for the state Than the line l now recall, All for one and one fer all?" That, at least it seems to me Voices true Democracy; Nurtures worth and civic pride. Makes us brothers, side by side.
 All for one, ," the humbest man Partner in the social plan, With each unit, great or small Guaranteed his rights by all. "One for all, with true intent: III nia did and influence lent, Ever for the public good, Rightly read and understood. All for one''-so long as he Fills his station manfuHy.
 "One for all''-so long as they
 Loves imperial law obey. If the plan is carried out | In good faith and courage stout, | Heavens own smile will on us fall, All for one, ard one for all." Ann Matilda Jones' Gro be continued)

GOVERNORS RACE
 IS WARMING UP
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGNS ON
CONGRESSIONAL RACES ALSO INTERESTING IN SEVERAL
 DISTRICTS. (
BY CLIO HARPER.

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-The three en- tries in the gubernatorial race are coming into the stretch, running un-
 der the whip and promising an ex- citing finish.
 Secretary Hodges, Dr. Brough and Judge Smith are all making an active each travelling along an individual course, and daily address, ing large audiences In various parts of the state, with increasing interest shown among the voters. Each ap-
 pears confident of success in the final issue, and the lines are daily be-
 ing more closely drawn. There are persistent rumors that only two can- didates will appear on the primary
 ticket, but there is nothing tangible upon which to base such prediction, or to indicate where the possible
 break in the lineup will occur. Each !of the three candidates, with their, friends, declares there is no truth in
 the rumor, and by them it is classified as nothing more than an idle report. With the entry of Dr. John R. Da- wis of Polk county into the contest for lcongress from the Fourth district, on- ly three of the members of the Arkan- sas delegation are unopposed-Cara- way of the First, Tillman of the
 Third, and Jacoway of the Fifth.
 Some of the races, particularly in the Second and the Seventh, are assum- ing more than ordinary interest. The week has brought no develop ments in the minor state offices, ex- lcept the unofficial announcement that Attorney General Wallace Davis will not be a candidate for the nomina- Ition.
 There is slight increase of inter- lest in the selection of a national con- mitteeman, and the delegates to the national convention. No one has yet qualified for national committeeman, by the payment of the fee of $75, but the incumbent, Vincent Miles, will do so, and Ben Cravens of Fort Smith
 and J. M. Barker of Atkins have been mentioned as possibilities. The fee
 for delegate-at-large, also $75, has
 been paid by Sheriff w. G. Hutton of
 Pulaski, and w. H. Arnold of Tex
 arkana. Senator J. R. Duty says he
 will be a candidate, and Judge Walls
 and Senator Robinson have also been
 mentioned. Senator Clarke has de-
 clined positively to permit the use of his name. Candidates for. district
 delegates who have paid the fee of S1
 a county are: Second, Jas. R. Case
 of Ruddells; Fourth, Walter B. Con- way of Texarkana; Fifth, Tom Poe
 of Little Rock; Sixth, T. D. Wynne
 of Fordyce; Seventh, Geo. P. George
