DAVIS REFUSES $42,000 OFFER
Senator Davis Was Offered Fat
Fee For Lecture Tour,
But Refused
Little Hock, July 20.—United
States Senator Jeff Davis turned
down $42,000 yesterday afternoon, j
when he declined a contract with
an Eastern syndicate to 111 1 a four
teen weeks’ engagement through
out the Northwest. This is con
sidered to be the largest retainer
ever littered a Little Rock man,
and this might also be applied to i
the state of Arkansas as well.
Senator Davis recently closed a
contract with a syndicate for a
number of speeches on the subject:
“The Trust Evil and Their Ten
dencies,” and soon after that he
was offered a much larger contract,
aggregating $3,000 per week, for
a thirty-minutes speech each day,
exclusive of Sunday, either in the
day or night, fourteen weeks.
The senator is but human, and
he considered the proposition for
several days. He discussed the
matter with a number of his
closest friends, but did not see his
way clear to accept the proposi
tion. Yesterday, the 10th, was
the last day he had to decide up
on it, and he declined it.
When he was asked regarding
the matter, he declared there was
nothing to give out, but it is learn
ed that he considered that the con-1
tract would not be exactly in line (
with the dignity of the office of a
United States senator, and for
that reason turned down the fat
test fee tendered an Arkansan for
speaking.
The offer was purely of a busi
ness nature, no sentiment entering
into it, and its value was the fur
ther increased by the fact that the
syndicate offered to allow Senator
Davis to exercise his own pleasure
and judgement in selecting his
subjects, agreeing that he could
speak from the same subject every
night, or as often as he desired,
or to change whenever he desired,
and to whatever theme he wanted.
Senator Davis, as before noted,
has signed a contract for a series
of address on the trust evils, be
ginning at Columbia, Mo. The
length of this series has not yet
been determined, but it calls for
§250 per night for the entire series.
This work is of a slightly different
nature, it is said, and does not con
flict with the senators\s idea of the
proprieties with reference to the '
United States senatorship.
While he has made no statement
regarding the matter, it is also
stated that he desires to give more
of his attention to the political
situation in Arkansas.
A DEFINITION OF SUCCESS
How have the hypothetical
scientists and the exponents of un
belief benefited themselves or hu
manity at large by soing the seeds
of doubt broadcast in the world?!
The real scientists do not fall in
this category, for they are believ- |
ers in the real sense of the word; j
they know too much, they have
seen too many mysterious mani-;
festations of the divine creative
power. Now, those who have dis-;
posed of the Bible and all eyi-1
dences of inspiration, have written j
a great many books, and some of j

them have won what the world at
large calls fame. According1 to the
ordinary measures that are applied
in such cases, they have been ex
tremly successful, but real success
means the benefit of humanity in
some some form or other. If no
such benefits can be shown as the
result of their labors, their success
is not equal to that achieved by
the direst poverty and the deepest
ignorance. — .Joel Chandler Harris
in Uncle Remus’s Magazine.
RELIGIOUS DEBATES
When these so-called religious
debates about “baptizo,” “bap
didzo,” “bapgidzo” which are
usually agitated by “bapfoolzo”
ignoramouses, become a thing of
the past and all servants of the
Lord are imbued with more
Christianity than the spirit of the
devil, theu, and not till then, will
Christianity all over the land
flourish and “blossom as the rose”
—in all churches.—Izard County
Register.
HOPE FOR REFORM
With five years in the peniten
tiary for Mayor Schmitz, Standard
Oil facing a probable tine of $29,
000,000, the Santa Fe indicted in
65 counts for unlawful rebates,
the Tobacco Trust on the run, and
indictments pending against 14
members of an Arkansas Legisla
ture for bribery and corruption,
there is yet hope for honesty and
purity in politics and industrial
management.—Arkansas Demo

A 4 ALL DRUGGISTS: SOe. AND $1.00 A
WAR ON THE CATALOGUE HOUSE
Merchants of the Entire Country
Will Organize Against Mail
Order House
The report comes from the head
quarters of the Home Trade
League at Chicago that war has
been declared on the great cata
logue houses of Chicago and other
cities by the 500,000 retail mer
chants of the West. In one of the
most striking economic movements
this country ever has known the
small dealers are fighting, as they
say, for their lives.
The mammoth institutions, em
ploying thousands of workers, do
ing their business entirely through
the medium of their bulky cata
logues, spending no money in the
community whence they derive
annually millions of dollars of
patronage, are forcing increasing
numbers of home merchants to
the wall, and, so their opponents
claim, are “making commercial
graveyards of once prosperous
towns.”
In this life or death struggle,
jobbers and manufacturers also
are involved with the retail mer
chants.
An organized attack on the cat
alogue institutions is to be made
by the Home Trade League of
America, which has existed for
several months in Chicago, large
ly as a publicity bureau, but which
is shortly to incorporate and insti
tute a more systematic and aggres
sive campaign against the cata
logue houses, through a board of
21 managers, with a vice presi
dent and an Advisory Committee
of 10 members from each state.
The bock bone of the league is
formed of commercial plans,
national, state and local in char
acter, in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Michigan, Kansas and Mennesota.
The officers of associations in
scores of cities are inconstant cor
respondence with the league,
which will continue to have its
national headquarters in Chicago.
Officers of the league will be elect
ed from the most aggressive of
the leaders of these association of
business men. Alfred C. Clark is
the present manager of the league.
SWALLOWING FOREIGN SUB
STANCES
When children or grown persons
by accident or otherwise swallow
such articles as tacks, pins, slivers
of glass, bits of metal, nut shells,
or other hurtfull things, it is re
commended that they chew quan
tities of slippery-elm bark, and
swallow the mucilage as soon as
possible. A child can be fed the
ground bark wet np with warm
water, and should eat of it freely
for several days. Do not give any
food that will relax the bowels,
but rather that which is constipat
ing, and the bark will form a coat
ing around the substance which
prevents its doing more serious
trouble than it otherwise would.—
Medical Magazine.
