Senator Penrose is greatly sur
prised to learn that some people
suspect there are lobbyists in
Washington. Why, the idea! says
the well known senator from Penn
sylvania, whose record is so pure
white that he almost wears a halo.
The work of the lobby investiga
tors may not be of great moment,
but it is interesting to note that
immediately after the investiga
tion begins the lobbyists stop their
pernicious activities and cease
mailing out tons of literature ex
plaining why the country will go to
the dogs unless a high protective
tariff is maintained.
Bryan's attitude towards the
war scare that is being manufac
tured by the yellow press is the
right one. To deliberately seek to'
widen the track between the two
nations by incendiary stories and
unfounded gossip is as bad as Mr.
Bryan's picture shows, and theie
ought to be some way of putting
the lid on the manufactured news.
Some fellow the other day praised
W. R. Hearst and his saffron pa

That a bold, fearless course wins
confidence and respect, is proven
by the fact that a great many mod
erate protectionists and newspa
pers begin to show kindness in
their criticisms of the Underwood
tariff bill. They admit it is fair
and understandable, and, if any in
justice is done, there will be time
ahead to apply needed remedies.

of calamities to follow for forty

THE TARIFF AND ELECTION OF SENATORS.
The fact that in the future, sen
: ators will have to be elected by
popular vote instead of through
| state legislatures, has served to
j make them more responsive to the
j public will, and those who are in a
position to know, are asserting that
i no Democratic senator can be re
elected who votes against the pend
ing tariff bill or who votes to amend
it with republican aid so as to make
it objectionable to President Wilson.
He seals his doom when he op
; poses Wilson.
RAILROAD ARE INDICATORS OF PROSPERITY.
The activity of the railroads are
always good indexes of the indust
rial condition and they are all show
ing unusual activity. The Great
Southern System has just issued a
statement showing an increase of
over $4,000,000 in earnings during i
the past ten months. This is a
most gratifying showing and indi
cates the widespread prosperity
throughout the South and tfce
Western, Eastern and Northern
roads are showing a good increase
also.
MASTERLY DEMOCRATIC STATESMANSHIP.
Oscar Underwood of Ala., who
framed the tariff bill has shown
himself a masterly statesman in
framing this bill, and it must not be
forgotten that a tariff bill is the
most difficult bill to frame, for
while the country knows that the
tariff is to be revised downward,
ic is nevertheless sweeping on at
high tide of prosperity not equaled
for over a decade. Underwood has
publicly declared that when the
new tariff is put into operation that
if any industry can show that it
cannot make a fair profit under the
bill, that the tariff will be raised on
that article if necessary. This is
as fair and square as any buisness
can ask, and Underwood has serve
ed on the "big Interests" that he is
not going to be bullied by them nor
stand their threats of reducing
wages when the tariff is lowered.

LABOR BULLETIN ON HAYS
Organ of Union Labor Sees Good Omen
in Support Given by Home
People.
The Union I.abor Bulletin has the
following to say regarding the can
didacy of Judge George Hays for the
governorship:
“Judge George W. Hay?, of Camden,
opened his campaign for governor at
Fayetteville last Monday in the pres
ence of an audience of over jcne
thousand people. Judge Hays impress
ed upon the people very strongly that
it is his de-sire lo serve the people
as their governor four years, and that
further than this he has no political
ambition. He suggested that his op
ponent has been and is now a candi
date for the United States Senate; that
bis election tfould mean that the
State will be plunged into another po
litical fight with tlie governor's office
used to elect some man to the Sen
ate, one who would be favorable to
his candidacy six years later and that
at the end of his second term he might
be a candidate for a third term in
order to retain the power of the gov
ernor's office to be used to promote
him to the Senate, claiming that this
is only an unexpired term and could
not be eounted against him in the
regular two-year term policy. Or
should Mr. Brundidge himself decide
not to be a candidate at (lie end of
his second term, still lie would use
the office to elert some man as liif
successor who would be friendly to his
candidacy for the Senate. In either
case, political turmoil and strife would
be continued in Arkansas.
"Judge Hays assured them lliaf his
campaign slogan Is harmony; that It
is his desire to see the Democratic
party, which has been rent for some
years with political factions, united
as one grand whole. Reports from
Fayetteville are that the people were
very favorably impressed with the
judge, and his supporters are claim
ing the county for him.
it seems irom rue papers, not only
In his home county, hut throughout
Arkansas, that lip has prac'ically the
unanimous support of his home peo
ple. This sounds well for the judge,
for the best way to know a man is to
live near him and lie associated with
him. The following clipping from the
I'nion County Tribune, published at
H31 Dorado, about 30 miles from Judge
Hays' home. Is a sample of editorials
being written in the country surround
ing his home:
“The Tribune and everybody else in
Union County are for Judge Hays, and
proud of the opportunity. Without
apologies to any others who may run.
or who have gone before, we maintain
that the people of Arkansas seldom
have the opportunity to vote for as
good and as qualified a man for the
©thee as George W. Hays. He is digni
fied, honest and capable, and an honor
to the citizenship. We knew him as
a poor Country boy, educating himself,
afterwards county judge of Ouachita
county, later as circuit judge of this
district, which position tye now fills.”
Brundidge and White County.
Mr. Brundidge, in his speeches, lays
grpat stress upon the fact that lie car
rled Searcy, his home town, by a large
majority over Senator Davis, hut lie
1oes not tell the people in o.her coun
ties the large majority Davis goi over
Brundidge in White county outside of
Searcy.
Senator Davis carried White county
(in which Brundidge was born and
where lie has spent his life) by a ma
jority of 2US votes. Brundidge carried
Searcy by a majority of about fiOO.
This gives Davis a majority over Brun
didge in Brundidge’8 home county,
outside of the county seat, of 83r> votes.
It may he argued that White county
has always been a Davis stronghold.
Quite true, it has. And it is rapidly
developing into a Hays stronghold, if
one be permitted to judge from gen
eral appearances. The editor of Uv
Kensett Keynote is not the only Hays
man in that county; the woods are full
of them, and they will he heard from
on the 21st day of June.—Jackson
County Democrat.
Endorse Candidacy of Judge Hays.
Every business house in El Dorado
was closed last Tuesday during the
progress of a mass meeting held in
the court house to endorse the candi
dacy of Judge George W. Hays for i
governor to fill the unexpired term of
Joe T. Robinson.
The court room was packed with
voters and enthusiastic speeches were
made by citizens in every walk of life
assuring him of their support and;
telling of the high esteem in which he
is held by all who know him.
Prosecuting Attorney E. O. Mahony
acted as chairman and Representative |
W. .1. piuson as secretary of the mret
ing and strong resolutions endorsing
his candidacy were unanimously adopt-j
od. A committee was appointed at
each polling place in the county to get
out a big vote for Judg^ Hays at the
primary on June 21.—El Dorado Times
Brundidge Forces Desperate.
The Brundidge forces are growing
desperate, and are resorting to ail of
the tricks of the niud-slinging politi
cian in the present campaign. As
time goes on the weakness of the
Ilrundidge cause becomes more appnr
ent the more desperate they become,

Compliments Hon. W. S. Goodwin.
The Democrat-News of Warren
has received the following commu
nication from Robert Prather, the
mail clerk v/ho has undertaken to
get the postmaster general to seg
regate the negro mail clerks; a
movement that should not have re
quired any agitation for the post
master general to act:
Washington, D. C., 5-26-’13
Editor Democrat-News, Warren.
Ark.
Dear Sir: 1 want to congratu
late you on your Congressman.
Mr. Goodwin. I have been here
for several days with a petition for
segregation of the negroes in the
railway mail service, addressed to
the postmaster general, and not
withstanding that 1 am a resident
and voter in another district, Mr.
Goodwin has shown me every cour
tesy and spent lots of his valuable
time trying to get an audience for
me with the busiest man in the
Cabinet, Mr. Burleson. As an
outsider and an entirely disinter
ested man, I feel safe in expressing
my opinion of Mr. Goodwin. He is
a prince and has made a name for
himself up here to the extent that
all take notice of him. His tariff
speech is given up to be the best
that has been delivered and has re
ceived comment from the press all
over the country. 1 am proud of
him and the record he has made;
proud to say that I came from the
same neck of the woods with him.
It has been a great glad surprise to
me and I do hope you people will
retain him in his seat and let him
continue to shed lustre on our be
loved state. Yours truly,
Robert Prather.
The Governor’s Pardoning Power.
Geo. W. Hays, one of the guber
natorial candidates delivered an
address at Hope the other day and
took a thrust at the pardoning pow
er wh;ch the Constitution places in
the hands of the Governor.
"The most absolute authority ex
ercised by the Governor is the par
doning power,” stated the speaker,
"and one of the greatest adminis
trative expenses we have to bear
is the enforcement of the criminal
laws. Large amounts of money
are annually spent in every county
for this purpose. It has been my
experience in six years as a cir
cuit judge, that where justice mis
carries in the conviction of one in
nocent man, it miscarries ten times
in the acquittal of those who are
guilty. Under our sysaem of the
law there is a great advantage in
the number of challenges permitted
to the defendant, and in the right
of change of venue from the coun
ty in which the crime is committed.
The friends of the defendant come
to his rescue, as a rule, with great
er energy than these who are inter
ested in behalf of the State, result
ing in the acquittal of many who
really deserve punishment. This
only serves to increase crime and
increase more and more the at
tempted enforcement of the law?
Innocent men are doubtless occa
sionally conyicted, and in other
cases excessive punishment is as
sessed by juries, and in these cases
clemency should be extended only.
"This power of pardon 1 conceive
to be a power of trust imposed in
the Governor, and one which
should be exercised with great
caution.”
