Mr.. Miller lost his sight while

Washington, Sept. 29.-Politicians
and political leaders in the capital
are beginning to wag their heads
and predict dire things for these
United States unless there is found
some way Of checking the growth
in number and influence of the leg
islative "blocs' that have sprung
UP in Congress during the last few
months and have played merry hob
with party control and discipline.
These bloes are beginning to ser
/ iously worry the older heads of both
/ parties. The members of the bloc
won't stay put, they are not
amenable TO party control when
one of their pet projects is up, and.
in short, they give their allegiance
to their bloc rather than to their
party.
Hence the worry of the leaders.
They see in the continued growth
of these blocs the breaking down
of party control and disseminating
the substitution therefor of a sys-
j tenn which is class lines rather than
along geographical and political
lines
Blocs draw no party lines Both
Republican and Democrats belong
to them, and all are welcome.
Just now the biggest and most
/ powerful of the blocs is the Agri.
cultural bloc, composed of some
thirty Senators and greater mum

NONPARTISANSFA FAIL TO REFLECT LEADERS
 BUT KEEP PROGRAM
Victorious Independents Are Pledged to Carry Through Farmers
 Liberal Program.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. II.-lncompletc returns of the recall election indicate that the Nonpartisan League has been defeated by the coalition of large business interests arrayed against it. Internal dissensions in the League, responsible for great deal of indit- ference among voters, was very inn portant factor in determining this contest
 It is estimated that the majority of R. A. Ncstos, independent candidate for governor, over Gov. Lynn Fraser, will not exceed 4,ooo. It may be re- duccd 10 almost negligible propor- tions. On the face of the returns Ncstor has a lead Of about 6,ooo with I5o precincts not heard from.
 Svcinbjorn Johnston, independent candidate for attorney general, and Joseph A. Kitchin, independent can didatc for commissioner of agricul- turc and labor, are running ahead Of NcstoS and have defeated William lcmkc and ]. A. Hagan, respectively.
 It is believed that the proposed con stitutional amendments and Initiated laws have been defeated. This seems to indicate that the defeat of the Non partisan League is a rebukc of its leaders rather than repudiation of it's principles The principal assault of the opposition was directed against Attorney General Lcmke, and the re- suit was apparent in the voting.
 The enemies of the Nonpartsan League did not dare make a straight out fight against it's policies. They took the position that Nonpartisan of ticcholders were incompetent and i'm practical and could not effectively carry out it's program.
 Ncstos Is pledged to the completion of the $2, 5oo,ooo mill and elevator at Grand Forks and a continuance of the Small-Drakc flour mill, Two initiated laws that were voted on and probably are defeated provided for the abolition of the Bank of North Dakota and discontinuancc of the Home Build
  amendment provided for a reduction of bonds issued for industrial pur- poses to $7,5oo,ooo.
 Liquidation of the Bank of North Dakota and an assumption of the farm loan business Dy a rural credits board the independents proposed to create were regarded as the most i'm pOrtant features of the election. The Bank of North Dakota was held by league leaders as the keystone e their program. The retention of these institutions, as the returns inticatc has happened, give the independents a hollow victory and leaves the Non partisan League in position to re- organize and go forth to new politi- cal effort.
 The cities gave increased votes 10 the league candidates, while there was a loss in the country districts This means that while the league was making converts 1t was losing it's own members, and this is due to the fac tlonalism that has been cngcndcred by the conflicting ambitions of lead-

SiNty-thrcc years ago this month Abe Lincoln and Steve Douglas held memorable debate at GaIcsburg, Ill., Both were candidates for seat in the United States senate.

The moral is thta man may suffer a temporary defeat in standing by his conscientious convictions, but permanent victory will invariably come if he proves true to himself and his fellowman.

 The National Security League statistics, it is- hoped, will be uscfu in enabling every community to compare it's expenditures with those of other localities to the end, tha there shall be some standardization for the public benefit.
 "So far as information can be ob 1 taincd, the league will also cndeavO 10 keep the public informed regard ing the bureaus and departments a Washington which ovcr-run the ap prOpriationS made by Congress.
 "But nothing can be accomplished for the public benefit unless the pco pie will arouse from their prescn stupOr and take proper active in tcrest in their civic affairs.
 "Onc Of the many unhappy after maths of the war has been the let down i'll public interest in civic al fairs.

The Story of
 Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXV.-ARKANSAS
 m@saA1E@ A RkASsAs
 MX,2 :;f% A was nam-
 MM .3-NM ed after the lssHASsH SsASN flows diagon- V4Nae4MT / ally through M~N># this state and is one of the chief tributaries of the MiSsiS- sippi. IL is said that the early settlers found in this territory, an Indian tribe named Arkansas, but the actual meaning of the word is not known. It probably has some relation to the word Kansas There has been much confusion as to the correct pro nunciatiOn of Arkansas. To re- move this as far as possible a resolution was passed by the state senate in 1881 which speci- fled that the true pronunciation was "Ar-kan-Saw."
 Originally Arkansas was a part of the Louisiana Purchase. Its first settlement was made by the French about 1885. Except for the few years during which by secret treaty 1t was ceded to Spain, it remained under French rule, until purchased by the Uni ted States in 1S03 For nearly ten years after this, 1t was a part of Louisiana territory. With the admission of the State of Louisiana in 1912 this northern \ section was formed into the Mis- SOuri territory. In 1919 therc-~ was another partition and Ar kansas territory was created. which included the present state and what later was called Indian territory.
 Due to the reports of an early explorer named Pike. who visited this region in 1906, the incOr rect idea was generally accepted that most of the expanse of plains east of the Rockies was vast desert. This,.idea per sisted to such an extent that as late as 1850 the western plains were called in the school geog- raphies "The Great American Desert" Adventurous settlers, especially from the South, found conditions in Arkansas quite Oth- erwise, however, and by 1888 Arkansas was admitted as the twenty-fifth state of the Union with an area of 53,335 square miles.
 The natural resources of the state are considerable. There are the mineral springs of me dicinal value, which have been placed under governmental con trol at Hot Springs.

Ds' or tho carneries with a pack of 75,O0O cases at Port Muller, which was all that was expected In the Bristol bay country it averaged from fifty to sixty per cent of the pack looked for At Ikitan they put up a pack of 25,OO0. On Cooks inlet there was a fair run of reds, but the pack will not be large on account of the destruction by fire of cannery at Kenai. in which 5000 cases were lost and the burning of this plant curtailed the output for market about 25000 cases. No report was received by them from Karluk and Chignik, but advices from Icy straits and Frederick sound state that the run in these waters was a failure.
 A. F. Zipf, of the Carlisle Com pany. reports that the pack of the Copper river section was from sev- enty-five to eighty per cent of what the local canneries expected.
