Subscriptions from citizens over
Arkansas, in amounts of from $1
to $500, continue to find their way
to the Arkansas commission of the
Panama exposition, showing that
the people are alive to this oppor
tunity to secure millions of dollars
worth of advertising for the state
at a most nominal expense. It is
gratifying to the commission to
find so many people sending in
from $1 to $25, for it shows that
the people are willing to give ac
cording to their circumstances, and
the little fellow has at last realized
that his subscription is not only
needed, but will be appreciated in
equal ponportion with the one who
is able to give ten times the
amount. The commission would
appreciate many more of the small
subscriptions, for it is in need of
every cent it can obtain.
COTTON SITUATION IMPROVING.
The cotton pool is now nearing
completion and every state is rais
ing its quota of the $135,000,000
and New York has subscribed its
share which is $50,000,000, and
Chicago has pledged its share
which is $12,000,000, and every
state is pledging the amount for
which it is called upon. This pool
will loan six cents a pound on 4,
000,000 bales of cotton, and this
cotton is to remain off the market
for one year, so that the remaining
9,000,000 bales of this year's crop
will at once find a market at the
usual normal prices. It is believed
that this measure will afford com
plete relief to the Southern cotton
planters and will at once restore
normal conditions everywhere.
A SECOND TERM FOR PRESIDENT WILSON.
Now, that the full retuns from
the congressional election have all
been reported and the smoke of
battle cleared away, a clear and
complete Democratic victory is
shown. In the next house of rep
resentatives there will be 233
Democrats, 193 Republicans. 7
Bull Moosers, 1 Socialist from New
York City and 1 Independent from
California. These figures give the
Democra's a clear majority of 31
ever all opposition and 40 majority
over Republicans, and as the 8
Progressives usually vote with the
Democrats it will be seen that
President Wilson will have more
than 50 majority on his progress
ive measures. It is a well known
fact that as a rule when any party
“revises the tariff" it thereby dis
turbs business temporiarly and the
following election the party passing
the bill is usually overwhelmed at
the polls. There has been but one
exception, and that was when the
Dingley bill was passed at the com
mencement of President McKin
ley's term in 1897. In the fall of
the following year. 1898, the Re-!
publicans did manage to retain the
control of the House by the slender |
majority of about 18 votes and;
that was made possible because we i
h .d just finished the victorious war
with Spain. On all other occas
ions whenever a party passed a'
tariff bill it was defeated. So the ,
fact that after President Wilson
and his party leaders had put
through the currency bill and tariT
bi.l the country has seen fit to re- j
turn a Democratic house and sen
ate. shows tfnt the country ap
proves what President Wilson has
done and that they mean to engage
niv services for a second term.

ALREADY INFORMED.
Two ladies made a formal call on
a distant acquaintance. The maid
asked them to wait until she ascer
tained whether the person inquired
for was in. Presently she tripped
downstairs and announced that “the
lady was not at home.” One of the
ladies, finding that she had forgot
ten her cards, said to her friend:
“Let me write my name on your
card ?”
“Oh, it isn’t necessary, miss,” put
in the maid cheerfully. “I told her
: who it was !”—New York Globe.
ONCE A TERM OF REPROACH
Golf "Caddying” Not Always the Re
spectable Occupation It Is in
This Century.
It is delightful to the average citi
zen to discover that the golf player
can display a kindly human sentiment
outside the strict rules of “the royal
and ancient,” and it is cheering to note
that that flood is just now pouring out
toward the caddie. This constant sub
ject for cynical speech and caustic
picture is to be suitably provided for.
and an accomplished golfer pleads al
most with tears in his voice that
“caddies are identified with the one
pleasure which helps the elderly gen
tlemen to feel young.” The hearts
even of the well preserved middle
aged cannot but be touched by such
an appeal; and yet there lingers the
haunting memory that the very name
of caddie is suffused in some strange
fashion with a shade of ne’er-do
well.
The earliest known use of the ap
pellation, and then as “caddie,” is to
be found in the London Morning Pen
ny Post, when George II. was still on
the throne, and “the forty-five” was in
v< 1/ immediate popular remembrance.
News from Scotland had it that “one
Duncan Grant, a discharged soldier,
who had passed in Edinburgh some
times as a street caddie," had in
curred a heavy penalty for a rather
trivial swindle in a transaction over
herrings. He was to be taken from
the Talbooth and "put in the pil
lory, to stand for the space of an
hour, with half a dozen herrings about
his neck, and thereafter to be ban
ished from the City of Liberties for
ever.”
It was a rough sort of making the
punishment fit the crime, which some
irate golfers would desire to revive
for their caddies even in this more
humane age.—Westminster Gazette.

Bs Glad of Ac' ice.
One should always he glad of sd
vice, and willing to tal it into con
sideration—if it is oft .red in the right
spirit.
This does not mean that one must
necessarily follow all advice that is
offered; that would be worse than talc
ing no advice at all.
I mean that in a difficult situation
you should hear what a large number
of wise people have to suggest, and
then go home quietly and think over
all that you have heard, and then
make up your own mind.
That’s the way to do!—Chicago Tri
