there is much Kenna and Coughlin
can hand to Sullivan and Hopkins.
But for the city and county the
organization is starting out wrong.
No organization handed down from
the bosses to the rank and file is
democratic. And no organization is
democratic when it is a job-holders'
machine, with public servants trying
to be public masters.
don't remember reading anything
in the speeches of Sullivan, Sweitzer
and Egan that even suggested that
the new Tammany had any thought
of doing anything for the people of
Chicago. But there was talk of doing
something for ''the boys" And that
doesn't mean democracy, even
though the new Tammany should
carry enough elections to get control
of all the jobs in both city and
county. If the people take it into
their heads they'll kick the everlast-
ing stuffing out of any Tammany all
the bosses in town might organize.
Thompson was elected mayor by
nearly 100000. And he didn't have
a job to give out before election. The,
people did it. The people licked Sui
Ivan, Deneen and all the bosses, most:
of the newspapers, all of the public
service corporations, State street and
organized Big Biz. And Big Biz be-
gan to lose ground the minute Lun-
din began giving out jobs. When the
people got it into their heads that
Thompson was building up a job
holders political machine he began
slipping. The more of a machine he
organizes the less chance he will have
of being reelected.
Nowadays one of the favorite out.

door sports of the people who don't
make their living out of politics is
swatting political machines, And
that's all this new Tammany is.
Why the determination to make
even President Wilson understand
that Roger is the Democratic whole
works of Illinois was openly express
ed is one of the speeches at the First
ward meeting.
And certainly it was made plain
enough that no Democrat need apply
unless he was satisfactory to the or
ganization.

says: ''The Day Book is correct when
it says the Cook County Tammany

pie want to call it the Cook County
Tammany we can't stop them if we
would, though a rose by any name

democratic in reality as well as in

All right, boys. Go to it. But take
it from me that the most perfect po-
IiticaI machine for controlling nom
nations is sometimes the easiest to
lick on election day. Dennis Egan is
undoubtedly a good fellow and he
may be a great organizer, but that
isn't what the people of Cook County
are paying him fOr-and hope he
doesn't organize Judge ScuIly out of
a job.
However, we'll see what We'll see.

STATE TROOPS WILL
 SOON RECEIVE PAY
Beginning With July PrivateS Get SiS per Year. Besides Full Pay When In Camp-Arkansas May
 Have 5,600 Men.

Little Rock, May 25.-Beginning with July, the enlisted men of the Arkansas National Guard will re- ceive pay at the rate of 9 per cent of that which is given a private in the regular army. If he attends drill regularly 2i times a year, and meets all the other requirements, he will be paid SIS year. All off, cers above and including Captain will be paid $500, except the staff and state headquarters officers who shall receive s250 in addition to the amount they receive from the state. When in camp on regular duty they shall receive the full pay of regular army officers of equal rank.
 Another important feature of the Chamberlain reorganization bill which has just passed Congress is that before the law aplies, the state shall have not less than 200 enlisted men for each Congressional district, and shall have five years to build it up to minimum of 800 per district. This would give the state a total of 5,600 men. or four regiments on a peace footing, and entities the state to an officer ranking as a Brigadier general.

MANGANESE ORE I IN MENA'S REACH
M. C. Benson of Big Fork Says if a Market Is Provided, Tons Win Be Hauled in by Farmers-A Broad
 Hint to the K. C. s. Railroad.

w. c. Benson, who lives a little
 southeast of Big Fork, on the east line of Polk county, was in Mena
 Saturday. bringing with him fine specimens of manganese, and sam
 ples of what he declares to be vel How ochre, such as is used exten- sively in the manufacture of paints.
 Mr. Benson says that in his neigh horhood there are extensive depos- 5ts of both, and is particularly in- aerested in the manganese. This, be asserts, can be secured in large nuantities on Rattlesnake, Fork. Missouri. Hurricane and other
 mountains near him, and that men have been investigating it and are proposing to take it out to the east bv the way of the Iron Mountain railroad. He wants it to come to Aena, and believes it should. In |fact he thinks that if the officials of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company understood the situation And the magnitude of the ore de- nosits they would be in a hurry to Fun a road out that way to get the Traffic. as we'll as develop a country ahat would bring added business to fhe road.
 In the meantime, and here is the Idea Mr. Benson thinks should att aract Mena folks most, he says that 3f someone here would arrange to buy the ore. delivered in Mena, at A fair price, there are lots of farm Frs. and men directly interested in 4nining. who would get it out. and 4nany wagons, instead of coming to aown empty, or perhaps bringing load of lumber, would bring in a ton |tr so of the ore, particularly the manganese, for which there is a big Remand at this time. Then when Ear had accumulated in bins in the fity, it could be shipped out. all Bringing money to Mena and Polk kounty and prosperity to the people.

BACK TO MENA TO MAKE HOME
Mir. and Mrs. C. \. Latimer Bring a
 Sample of California Fruit.

Mir, and Mrs. c. \. Latimer who left Mena the middle of last March after having been here since last September, returned to Mena last week fully persuaded to make Polk county their future home. Since leaving Mona they had been in Nebraska, Iowa and California, coming directly from the Sacre- mento valley, where they had thought of locating. but found it un- advisable to remain there because of Mr, Latimer's failing health. They brought from California a twig from a Royal Anne Cherry tree. literally loaded with fruit, and MT. Latimer says the twig is a good sample of the abundant bearing qualities of the trees. The local interest attached to this is the fact that Mr. Latimer is convinced that these cherries can be grown in Polk county as we'll as in California, and when he gets located he will doubt less start an orchard.
