U. S. SENATOR CLARKF,
DIES IN LITTLE ROCK
State’s Most Noted Citizen
Passes Away Suddenly From
Attack of Apoplexy.
Little Rock, Oct. t.—United
States Senator James P. Clarke
died at ais home in Little Rock
at 1 o’clock this afternoon. He
was taken ill suddenly with
with acute indigestion in his of
fice Wednesday afternoon and
early Saturday was stricken
with paralysis, since which
time he was in an unconscious
condition. He is survived by his
wife, two daughters, Mrs. Jo
seph W. House, Jr., and Mrs.
Robert Williams, and one son.
James P. Clarke, Jr.
Senator James P. Clarke,
president pro tern of the Unit
ed States Senate, was born in
Yazoo City, Miss., Aug.l8,18i4,
which made him 02 years of
age.
He came to this state from
Mississippi shortly after his
graduation from the University
of Virginia, locating at Helena,
Phillips County, and engaged
in the practice of law. He at
once entered politics, but in
stead of seeking preferment
through the regular recognized
channels demanded it on his
own merits. He asked no one’s
permission to become a candi
date and sought no one’s aid
by promises. The oligarchy in
control of affairs made fun of
the interloper and his ambition
was buried that year, as the
reigning dynasty supposed, too
deep to be ever resurrected,un
less he would sue for peace and
recognize the “powers that be.” '
Instead of seeking the aid of 1
the machine, he determined to
smash it, and two years later, 1
in 1884, such was his organiz- <
ing ability, his dauntless cour- '<
age and fearless energy, he
succeeded in his efforts, and <■
the all-powerful machine,which
had absolutely controlled the i
political affairs of Phillips <
County for generations, was
routed and James P. Clarke re- i
cognized as a foe worthy of t
any man’s steel. i
In 1886 he was elected to i
the lower house of the Arkan
sas Legislature,where,although i
practically unknown to the 1
politicans of the state, he be
came in less than a month its 1
recognized leader. His efforts
were devoted almost exclusive
ly to fighting the all-powerful
lobby and corruption in every
form.
In 1883 he was elected to
the State Senate, where he at
once became the most promi
nent figure in it. being elected
its presiding officer in 1891.
There, as in the House, he paid
but little attention to the minor
proceedings, but devoted him
self almost exclusively to the ■
more important affairs of taxa- s
tion and regulation of corpora- 1
tions and exposing corruption. 1
The lobby by that time had !
learned that he was its ablest >■
foe, and, knowing his incor- '<■
ruptibility, fought him with all ;
means in its power.
His fearlessness and personal '
courage was a shield of pro- 1
tection to him, as no one dared i
to attack him for fear that he <
would immediately expose him ■
and call a thief a thief, and be <
ready to take the consequences.
He secured the enactment of
several laws of importance, in

spite of the efforts of the lob
by, among them the collection
jf back taxes from the rail
wads, which at once secured
>ver $400,000 to the treasury
)f the state.
His greatestpoliticalachieve
nent in state politics was the
mactment of the present Ark
ansas election law.
In 1892 he announced as a
andidate for attorney general.
I'he corporate interests at once
•ecognized the importance of
lefeating him for that position,
vhere he could do them so
nuch harm, but in spite of all
heir efforts he secured the
lomination by an overwhelmi
ng majority.
IIis official acts as attorney
general were of such a nature
hat in 1894 he was nominated
[or governor with practical
inanimity,although opposed by
me who had been prominent
in the councils of the party,had
been speaker of the lower
house and had an enviable rec
ord as a soldier of the Confed
eracy. He served as governor
one term, declining a renomin
ation. 11 is actions as governor
met the highest expectations of
his friends, and never did he
['ail to look after the best inter
ests of the stae.
In 1890 he declared himself
i candidae for United States
senator against Senator Jones,
nit the Jones-Berry alliance,
vhich at that time controlled
ill the federal offices in the
tate, under Cleveland’s second
id ministration, was too strong,
md he was defeated.
Without any official position,
vith no prospects to ever re
vard his friends, his personal
ty and extraordinary ability
enabled him to obtain almost
ibsolute control of the masses
>f his party. When in 1900 the
Democratic state convention

Kansas City convention he had

fully two-thirds of the delega
tion for anything he wanted.
In 1902 he again opposed
Senator Jas. K. Jones in the
first general state primary ever
held in Arkansas and was suc
cessful. Senator Jones at thei
time was chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee and
was supported by William J.
Bryan and other Democratic
leaders of national fame. Sena
tor Clarke had no opposition
for a second term, but when he
entered the contest for a third
election he had strong opposi
tion in Associate Justice W. F.
Kirby of the ArkansasSupreme
Court, who will very likely be
appointed until the November
election.
Senator Clarke was univer
sally regarded as the foremost
lawyer in the United States
; Senate.

QUALITY versus QUANTITY
Many housewives make a vi
tal mistake in choosing some of
their foodstuffs on the basis of
quantity.
It has been proven time and
again that the cheapest is al
ways the most expensive, while
the highest price is not always
,the best.
There’s a happy medium in
everything. When you select
foods, be caregul. Don’t choose
any particular brand of, say
Baking Powder for example,
just because you get a big can
for a small price.
The risk you take in ruining
your entire baking and losing
the cost of materials involved
is not anywhere equal to the
small amount saved onthe price
of the Baking Powder.
Then again, because the
price is high, don’t think the
quality is the best.Some women
do, and they are losing money.
Look for the happy medium.
You’ll find it. Choose a brand
that costs a moderate price and
you’ll find it more economical
to buy and more ecnomical to
use.
The best Baking Powder in
the world can be made so as to
sell for 25c per 1 lb.
EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT IT MEANS.
Many thousands of women are now
a-dajs paying attention to physical cul
ture and the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, excelled in beautiful and sym
metrical forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the proper exer
cise. Then, too, they were untrain
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
fatiguing work. Mild exercise con
tinued day after day is be«t for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription than that it re
stores the wasted form to its wonted
roundness.
The mighty restorative power of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription speedily
causes all womanly troubles to disap
pear—compels the organs to properly
perform their natural functions, cor
rects displacements, overcomes irregu
larities, removes pain and misery at
certain times and brings back health
and strength to nervous, irritable and
exhausted women.
It is a wonderful prescription pre
pared only from Nature’s roots with
glycerine, with no alcohol to falsely
stimulate. It banishes pain, headache,
backache, low spirits, hot flashes, drag
ging-down sensations, worry and sleep
lessness surely and without loss of time.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, hy letter, free. Address Dr
