Arkansas Politics

The method Of The exit of one governor of Arkansas and the coming in of another was not creditabie ,o the politics of that state.
 The transaction shows how far are rulers and are our chosen lawmakers away from the things that they ougut 10 stand for
 Arkansas Is a state oyerwhelm ingly Democratic There should be no politics in the state gov ernment And yet political fac tiouaiiSm rules in that state more bitterly than 1t does in any other state where the parties are even ly divided. There Is not as hard feeling between Republics and Democrats in Ohio or in Indianua os there is between H ys and anti Hays or Davis and anti-Da. wis men in Arkansas
 And the differences are not be cause of something that might benefit the people. They arise from struggle for place and for power.
 The government of the State o1 Arkansas should be the same as the government of some of the well managed business en terprises of that state A man of the finest business and legal ablI- ity ought to be governor The very best law5 CTS in the state ought to be upon the various ju dicial benches The best bank CTS, merchants. farmers. doctors and lawyers ought to be in the legislature.
 The effort of these, then should be to administer the affairs of the state so as to merit the ap preciation of those who select them.
 Ar ansas is a wonderful state It is richer in natural resources, and in the variety of these re sou ces, than any other state in the Union, It's wealth, developed and undeveloped, is enormous. It's income for governmental pur poses should be large, ana yet so inefficient is the government that there is scarcely enough money collected to pay the running eX- penSes of the state.
 Gov. BrOugh is new type of man. He is splendidly dly-educated, his ideals are high. Under his leadership the real progressive forces of that state ought to be able to organize themselves into compact body and render a splendid service to their people. Memphis Commercial Appeal.
