Some one has said John D.
Rockefeller loves his country,
which causes an exchange to ask,
“Is this love for what the country
1ms done for him or what he has

Senator La Follette, a promi
nent Republican Senator from
Wisconsin, declared publicly a
few days ago that Bryan will be
the next president of the United
States unless Roosevelt would con
sent to run again.

There must be the combination of
brains, incessant energy, broad
judgment and knowledge, with de
motion to a high purpose, or the
paper will fall short of achieve
ment.—Philadelphia Ledger.
According to a preliminary re
port of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the gross earnings of
the railroads of the United States,
covering approximately 211*,000
miles of road, will probably show
for the fiscal year ended June 30
an increase of ten per cent over
the $5,073,000,000 earned in PJOo.
In whatever light Bryan is held
in his own country there is no,
room for doubt as to how he is re-;
garded in England and Germany,
where his enthusiastic reception
was equal to that extended ex- j
President Grant, and more cordial
than ever extended any other
American. He is justly regarded
as one of the world’s greatest men.
A FARMERS WORLD UNION
A new and powerful strand in
| the bond that is now drawing all
the nations of the civilized world
together in the interest of peace
and humane progress is the pro
posed International Institute of
I Agriculture, which the United
'States has been asked to join.
; This organization proposes noth
j ing less than a plan of co-opera
; tion among the agricultural inter
ests of all nations in the collection
and distribution of statistics relat
ing to crops and markets, and oth
| er information bearing upon im
proved methods of farming, the
extermination of insect pests, the
introduction of new seeds and
plants, and whatever else may be
of mutual benefit. In other words,
the organization will take cogni
zance of the fact that although ag
: riculture is practically the mother
of all industries, and the very bas
is of the world’s life in a large
sense, it has been the least organ
j ized and united of all, andhassuf
I fered greatly through needless
competition and the lack of com
I mon understanding. The idea is
not, a* some sensational newspa
pers have annonneed, to forma gi
gantic farmers trust, butsimply to
combine along certain lines where
combination will be obviously not
only in the interest of all agricul-;
turists, but of the whole world.
The prosperity of the agricultural
class means everywhere the pros
perity of all classes, and whatever
conduces to this end is of vital im
portance to the whole world-—Les
lie’s Weekly.
SPLIT IN SENATORIAL CONVENTION
Delegates Who Favored Hinkle
Walked Out and No Nomi
nation Was Made
The senatorial convention held |
at Batesville Wednesday resulted
in a split, and the Hinkle men
: walked out of the convention,
i Seven delegates from this coun
{ty responded to the call for a cou
; vention, but none were present
| from Stone county. A resolution
was submitted by friends of Mr.
Hinkle declaring that inasmuch as
Stone county had refused to send
delegates, Independence alone
could not act, therefore the con
vention would take no action. The
resolution was voted down by a
i vote of four to three. The three
delegates favoring the nomination
of Mr. Hinklk then withdrew from
the convention.
A resolution introduced by Er
nest Neill was then adopted by the
votes of the four remaining dele
gates. It recites that great, con
fusion and dissatisfaction followed
the primary relative to the state
senatorship, first one and then
another of the three candidates
i appearing to have tne nomination.
, The resolution went on to say that
in view of the chaotic donditiou it
was impossible to determine who
the nominee is, therefore that no
name be certified as the Democrat
ic nominee for state senator.
This action will be officially re
torted to the secretary of state as
a member of the state election
board.
This virtually means that there
is no Democratic nominee for state
senator and will probably result
in a free-for-all light between Ra
ney, Hinkle and Edmondson, who
were candidates for the Democrat
! ic nomination.
