Sorry to See 'em Worrying About
Hugh Dorsey.
They are Logging in the Frank Case.

L grleves me to contemplate the anxieties
which the Hearst-Slaton papers are mani
testing in regard to Hugh Dorsey.
They cannot forgive him for downing Big
Money in the Frank case
Those old wounds still bleed, resisting the
healing salve of time.
Dorseys foes say they are going to down
HIM, IN the lnnes case, and discredit him, gen
orally
Well, maybe so. You never can tell. But
they'll have to start something better than the
Alaska dodge, if they do
It's long, long way to Alaska; and if
Burns had a mind to, he could locate lots Of
Nelms girls IN those remote regions.
But as Burns is about to be indicted him
SELF in New York. he may not be able to de-
vote his able mind wholly to the Illnesses.
1t the New York grand jury gets hold of
him, the consummate rascal may not slip
through the meshes so easily as he did in At
lanta.
Dorsey's enemies say that he placed himself
cepted fee in the appeal of the extradition
case to the United States Supreme Court.
Did he, really?
1t is not the official duty Of Solicitor Gen
eral to appeal an extradition case to the
United States Supreme Court, nor is it his Of
fetal duty to follow an appeal there.
His fce-bill wouldn't cover the actual ex-
penses of such trip.
But when Dorsey went to the highest court,
in the Innes case, he was acting for the law,
and against M alleged criminal, not AGAINST
the lar, and for q CONVICTED criminal
Possibly if Dorsey's enemies had not
blinded themselves with rage, they would have
seen the difference.
In the Slaton case, the sequence of undis-
puted facts is,
(1) Slaton elected Governor in October.
(2) Mary Phagan assaulted and muir
dered, on Memorial Day, the AprI following.
(3) Rosser's firm Immediately employed
by Franks kinsmen before any Gentle sus-
pected Leo Frank.
a. Slaton taken into partnership with
Rosser, soon afterwards, although the nature
of his office and the law of unbroken custom,
made it impossible for him to practice law
after his Inauguration.
(5) Stations Inauguration as governor, in
June, after Mary's death in April.
(6) The jury convicts Frank on the testi-
mony of more than 40 white witnesses, and
on the evidence OF her blood and hair found

05l From all that can be learned on the
outside, it would seem that the campaign
against the law cost at least two million dol
ton, because of his Frank articles
The Haas Finance Committee might be

(16) Rosser had offered Senator James
of Kentucky a big fee to appear before Gov
ernor Slaton, telling the Senator that his
speech would be prepared for him, and that
he could not lose.
Senator James spurned the bride, refusing
to be party to a sham trial in Stations erecu-
tive office
(17 Letters threatening the lives of Dor
sey and Watson infest the mails, and the
Straus Magazine-and Slaton, too-announce
that Watson should be driven out of the state
Watson threatened with criminal prosecu-
ton:
18) Several men of Atlanta go to At
torney-General Gregory, and tell him that
the Government cannot procure an honest
jury IN Georgia; whereupon the Democratic
Attorney General hastily declares his purpose
to take Watson out of his State for trial in a
more hostile environment
These Atlanta men demand Watson's pun
ishment because of his fight for the laws, for
the courts, and for womanhood-the security
of the daughters of the poor from the lawless
lusts Of the sons of the rich.
The papers that are now fighting Dorsey,
encouraged the Attorney General when he
made the amazing threat to trample upon the

They know perfectly we'll that the Big

vote those allies can control will be thrown
against Hugh Dorsey.
p. S. It looks as if some Burns Burke

nesses away, in the Innes case, Just as was
attempted-with partial success-in the
Frank ease.

Governor John M. Slaton was at his law

In other words GoSernor Slaton was an ac-

In the State capitol, Slaton was the States
chief executive, sworn to execute the law, and
paid by the State to do so.
In the offices of Rdsser, Slaton, Brandon
and Phillips, this same Slaton, at the same
time, was Franks lawyers, after Franks legal

were trying to buy perjurers, and debauch

OH, LOOK AT THE WOMAN'S
PARTY!
It's absolutely the most interesting thing
to look at in the whole exciting field Of ma
tional politics.
Women are in the great game at last, as
they have long demanded to be, and should
have been long ago Woman suffrage is a
fact to an extent that gives women real pO-
litical power.
Whether or not that power is as great as
the leaders of the Woman's Party think, it
is enough to make the support of the Wom-
BILE for any candidate
Yes, women are in the game.
And now the question is, will they play the
game as men have too often played it-for
their own advantage, or will they play it
with broader vision and in more unset.
fish spirit?
The leaders of the WOman's Party, in con-
gress assembled at Colorado Springs, on Fri
day, announced that the party ''pledges it.
self" to do its best to defeat President Will
son and democratic candidates for congress,
because the democratic party has not de-
clared for federal suffrage amendment.
They also Congratulate the progressive,
prohibition and socialist parties" and ''cOm-
mend the position of the republican candi-
date, Charles Evans Hughes" on their re-
spective attitudes.
This, of course, means that they endorse
Hughes, but are afraid to say so for fear
of alternating such support as they might get
from the others.
But Not long ago, Theodore Roosevelt,
the creator of the progressive party and the
most adored leader of his generation, tried to
deliver his following to Hughes. And day
by day, ever SINCE progressives have been
landsliding for Wilson.
There is division among women even on
the point of whether suffrage should be
gained by federal amendment or by indi
vidual state action. The Times will print,
on Monday, the views of two women now in
Tacoma-women whose opinions will count
in the struggle.
They are both ardent suffragists, but
they are absolutely opposed on this point;
and the one of them who is fighting heart
and soul for the federal amendment will
work for Wilson, and would vote for him if
she were to be in state where she could
vote for anybody!

HEAR CAPITOL CASE
EARLY IN DECEMBER
Board of Arbitration Hopes for
Settlement by First of
Next Year.

Little Rock, Nov. 29.-Chief Justice
E. A. McCulloch, who is a member of
the board of arbitration to settle the
dispute between the state and Cald-
we'll & Drake, former state capitol
contractors, today announced that
oral arguments will be made before
the board early in December. Justice
McCulloch said the board hoped to
render it's decision in the case by jan
uary l. The contracting firm alleged
that the state was indebted to it
$500,000, in round figures, and coun-
ter claim for a similar amount was
filed by the state, the states attor-
ney alleging that the state had been
damaged to that extent by faulty
material and poor workmanship used
in the building.
Should the board return judgment
in favor of the contracting firm the
legislature will be asked to make an
appropriation sufficient to pay it.

READY
FOR BIG CONTEST
BULLDOGS vs.. LOUISIANA
All Stores to Close for Thanksgiving
Game; Many Visitors
Expected.

Every store and business house
IN Conway today signed an agreement
to close their doors from 2 until 5
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon to attend
the big Turkey Day football clash
between the Hendrix College Bulldogs
and Louisiana Industrial Institute of
Ruston, which will be played at 2:3O
on Russell field.
The game doubtless will be witness
ed by the largest crowd that ever saw
an athletic contest in this city. The
students, in their efforts to keep the
game in Conway after it had been
announced by Coach Headrick that on
account of extra expenses which the
college authorities thought could not
be met, already have sold 600 tickets
for the contest. There are many in
Conway who expect to see the game
but have not bought tickets. Several
automobile parties from Little Rock,
Morrilton, Atkins, Russellville and
other nearby towns will be here. The
total attendance is expected to be
more than 1000.
The Hendrix team is on edge for
the game. Every man on the squad
is in tip top shape, Coach Headrick
said, contrary to the custom this
season. Heretofore, before the date
of contest, one or more of the best
players have sustained injuries which
kept them out of the game. With the
eleven in condition, as they are now,
Hendrix enthusiasts are inclined to
be quite optimistic.
The Rice Growers will arrive to-
morrow morning. They will spend
tonight in Little Rock. The Ruston
aggregation is composed of stalwarts.
The team will average considerably
more in weight than the Bulldogs, but
this disadvantage is expected to be
offset by the Bulldogs superior team
work and swiftness. At any event,
the game will be hotly contested, and
the score is expected to be close.
The merchants who signed the
agreement to close their doors are as
