Good Party Man.
When Aldrich’s testimony in
the Lorimer case is considered it
must be acknowledged that the
.Rhode Island statesman emerg
ed rather badly from the dirty |
affair. He cleared President |
Taft’s skirts of the charge of un
due interest in Lorimer, and!
doubtless told the truth, so far |
as he went, but there were too!
many'things he failed to remem- j
ber. One of these was whether j
his first interview was of his
own or the lumberman’s s eking. |
The public will not believe that
a man’s memory can be so de- j
fective in so important a matter.
This, however, is a condition ■
that makes arrival at the truth j
a difficult matter in investiga-j
tions of this kind. Too many
' public men “forget” when they |
are placed on the stand. But
Aldrich’s testimony made it
_ quite evident that high officials
in Washington were interested
in having a “good republican”
elected in Illinois. The special
meaning of that word “good
conveys the complete story of
„ shame which has overtaken llli
* nois, and which touched Wash
ington. Doubtless it touched in
places which have never become
public.
The people should learn a les
son from this clear demonstra
tion of what happens as a re
sult of preference shown for a
“gdod” party man in any in
stance.—Fort Smith Times-Re-i

A Hair Trigger Constitution.
Some one has said that ani-j
mals have a hair-trigger consti-|
tution, says Orison Swett Mar
den in “Success Magazine.” They
go off on the slightest provoca
tion, because they act from im
pulse. They do not know how to
control themselves; the animal
instinct dominates.
Self-control is the first condi
tion of all achievement. It is
said that the first sign of insan
ity is the loss of self-control.!
When a person is no longer mas
ter of his own acts, he is not on
ly in danger, but any degree of
achievement is impossible to
him.
Every thought tends to result
in an act, so that thought always
leads. The mental attitude at
any moment is the pattern;
which the life processes weave J
The lives of many of us are gro-1
tesque crazy-quilts.

Mistakes Delay Pension Pay. '
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 14.—The j
Pension Board is now at a .stand
hill, being unable to proceed or,
t'ecede: on account of the mis-:
takes which many applicants forj
pensions have made. Many of
the pensions came in without
proof of indigency, others with
out proof of service in the Con
federate Army. As both are
very necessary, and pensions
cannot be granted without fav
orable answers to both, the
Board must wait until several
hundred which have been re
turned to the counties, are sent
back properly made out.
This is the fault of the coun
ty pension boards, and next year
the count-y boards will receive I
some very explicit instructions j
about pension matters so they
will not cause the state delay
and expense by holding the pen-1
sion board a number of days |
longer than necessary. The
board will be in session about
two weeks yet.
