Prohibition in the United States is
bearing it's fruits with surprising
rapdity. but perhaps not more quickly

the Monitor. Some of the fruitage is
shown by this statement of the business
manager and vice president OF the
United Press association: Never in the
history Of the press has intelligence
been so greatly in demand as now. Pro-
I hibition is partly responsible" The
journalist then says Another reason is
that the public, awakening to the exist
ence and effects of propaganda, has
put the press on trial. There Ia an
increasing demand that stories be writ

THOMAS C. McRAE Candidate for Governor
HIS RECORD IN CONGRESS-


 In 1903 Mir McRae voluntarily re | tired from Congress. after u service of eighteen years. nI March of that year the Washington correspondent of the Arkansas Gazette prepared a synopsis of his career in Congress, which was published in the Gazette March s. 1905. The following extracts are taken from this synopsis
 Ut is but fair statement to say | that Mir. McRae has initiated and se- cured the passage of more legislation | than any other member of Congress. Some of this legislation reserved the public domain for actual settlers, and made it easier for the homeless to se- l cure homes It was through his efforts that the Act of 1889 was passed pro- viding that public lands be withdrawn from private sale Through the wise provision of that Act all the Govern ment lands fit for cultivation were made subject to entry only by actual settlers under the Homestead law. Tn the early days immense tracts of land were given to railroads as sub. sides upon condition of their compli- ance with certain provisions of the grant dOnat ting them. which provisions | in many instances were never complied | with by the railroad company.
 While credit is due to other public men. yet it was MT. McRae who initiat- ed in the House and secured the pas sage in Congress of certain legislation providing that these unearned lands he | forfeited to the United States. Under | this law fifty million acres of land were restored to the Government at once be came subject of Homestead entry.
 If for no other reason than the one | to be recited, the State of ArksnsaS + under lasting obligation to MT. McRat for the work done by him in the com promise settlement between the State of Arkansas and the United States Under the provisions of this compro- mise there was quieted the title to one millio nacres of land in Arkansas which became subject to homestead by actual settlers.
