 The Little Rock Daily News took up the matter with Dr. Branner, not expecting him to do the field work, but thinking that he would make the most valuable president emeritus for the new survey. Dr. Branner's reply. dated Feb. 8, 1919, follows
 Tt is not possible for me to an swer questions before they are ask ed But I am sure the people of Arkansas (with the possible excep' tion of two or three grafters who were unable to use me and through me the state for their private ends) know that I can always be counted on to serve their interests where ever I can do so''
 It was not expected that, under the circumstances. Dr. Branner could say less, but he could not say more to express his love for Arkansas. which is only second to his love for his native state of Tennessee.
 What a splendid ally for the new geological survey of Arkansas! What loyal friend Arkansas has in this great, honest and learned geologist
 It is time for Arkansas to go over the top in this as it has in many other progressive matters

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper)

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-The latest gubernatorial possibility is Capt. Tom Poe, a young lawyer of Little Rock. He is said to be seriously considering entering the race for the nomination. In the late war he was editor of the Kelly Field Eagle, and later was in the office of the director of mili- tary aeronautics in Washington.
 The field is open, and there is plenty of time, since under law passed by the present legislature, the primaries will not be held until the second Tuesday in August, 1920, which puts it nearer the general election in November.

 It is probable that Tom w. Camp bell of Randolph county who is now serving as assistant attorney general, will be a candidate for attorney gen. eral in the 1920 primaries, to succeed John D.

Washington, August 7.-MemberS OF
the subcommittee appointed by Attor'
ney.General Palmer to make recon-
mendations for measures to reduce the

the White House today by President
Wilson.
Efforts were made by Secretary Tum-
ulty to reach julius II. Barnes. direc-
tor of the grain corporation, but is was
understood that Mr.. Barnes had return
ed to New York.
1t was assumed that the president
desired to discuss with the committee
his message to congress tomorrow enl-
bodying resolutions designed to afford
some measure of relief from present
conditions.
President Wilson's address TO con
gress tomorrow will be confined TO mat
ters pertaining directly to the high
cost of living. in the belief of White
House officials Secretary Tumulty
said today he thought it unlikely the
president would take up at this time
further questions concerning railroad
wages and rates.
The president was informed today
by Speaker Gillett that the house'would
'be glad to have joint session for
tomorrow at 4 O'Clock" TO receive his
recommendations. Republican leader
Mondell urged the president yesterday
to postpone his appearance until next

Predictions are freely made by Off

within the next ten days, and that it
will be in first class condition before
the winter rains begin to interfere with
all outdoor work.
Don Cochran, who has taken a prom

thorizes the statement that the delay
would interfere with travel to Turner
Falls this season, but by another year
Ardmore would have real summer re
sort. almost at its very doors, where
people could spend few days amid sur
roundings that are conducive to rest
and health
r. T.. Scivally, who owns the land
around Turner Falls, is making prepara-
tions to erect a number Of cottages and
other improvements on the property
and have everything in readiness by
the time the season opens in 1920
Mr.. Scivally is not ready 20 divulge
his plans at this time, as he may make
material changes in them, but he is au-
thority for the statement that whatever
he erects there, will he first class and
will offer every convenience to camp

have carried a crew of at least 10 and

Mr.. Childs, vice president and gen

this time, as the steel market was con

originally intended for another refinery

600 libel suit against the Chicago Daily
Tribune We're begun in Judge fuckers
court today, Attorney William Lucking
opening for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Lucking's opening remarks re-
counted the alleged libelous editorial OF
June %. 1916. headed, Ford Is an An
archist," parts of which he read.
I'VE claim" Mr. Lucking said. that:
1.-THE Chicago Tribune, for selfish
and Interior motives, sought to bring
about Intervention in Mexico.
"2-That the Tribune regarded the
mobilization of the national guard In
June, 1916, as a step in that direction.
"3-That the Tribune knew that Hen
rv Ford was opposed to Intervention.
"4-That the Tribune seized upon the
item from Detroit stating Mr.. Ford
would not hold open the jobs of its
employees who went with the guard, to
write an editorial which the publishers
believed would intimidate him and cause
him to cease his propaganda.
The question whether the Tribune
acted in good faith" the lawyer said,
bears only on whether there was spe-
cific malice back of the editorial; it in
no way affects the amount of dam.
ages to which plaintiff is entitled
Mr.. Lucking insisted that anarchy
means opposition to all property rights,
all religion and all government, and
that an anarchist, such as Mr.. Ford
was charged with being. is one who de
signedly works to bring about the an
archy described.
That some of Mr.. Ford's utterances
agreed with those of Emma Goldman
and other recognized anarchists in no
way proves him an anarchist" said the
lawyer.
