PATRIOT OR DEMAGOGUE.
If one could believe the pro
testations of our governor of his
friendship for the great commor
people, of his sincerity to theii
cause and devotion to their inter
ests, of his struggles in their be
half against corporate greed anc
wealth, then Davis would ranl<
among our patriots and be worthy
of greater admiration than ever
his most trusting follower now
offers at his shrine.
If, on the other hand, this ido
be a mere sham, a pretendec
friend of the people who woulc
array the great mass againsl
others who have been more for
tunate in business in order tc
maintain his political supremacy,
who would make a wind-jamming
i tirade against trusts and railroads
in order to appear the champior
of the people’s interest, whc
would vaunt his tender-hearted
ness from the housetops and
upon every stump while par
doning criminals convicted by
due process of law and by a jury
of their peers for all manner of
heinous crimes, what else could
be the duty of a newspaper than
to expose such a demagogue?
m -IT 1 • Til
Jiu you, who nave maugucu uie
newspapers of this state in their
righteous campaign to. unmask
and lay bare the deception and
insincerity of Governor Davis, do
we speak. Would you have a
press upon which to depend for
your information and the dis
semination of truth cringe before
a demagogue of this type because
he was prolific in his promises,
bold in his trickery and able to
fool a majority of the people by
his false pretensions of fidelity
to their interests?
Are the editors of Arkansas a
lot of “squirrel-heads,” as they
have been derisively termed by
the governor of our state, so
narrow in intelligence as to be
the subservient tools of what this
monster calls a “Little Rock
ring?” Upon whom are they de
pendent for their support? Those
“ring politicians” or upon the
good substantial citizenship of
their respective communities and
counties? There can be but one
answer. Would it not appear to
be self interest to follow public
opinion, even when it was wrong?
And yet the newspapers of Ark
ansas have not been guilty. They
were quick to recognize the
scheming rascality of a popular
idol, and with a few exceptions,
who have fallen victims to the
snares of appointment to office,
have made a valiant and we be
lieve a successful campaign to
show up the true character of
one who has abused the confi
dence of his people.
mi • 1 1 <• 1
mere is nu na.ii.-way gruunu
in considering the record and
character of this man Davis. He
is either the most wrongly
abused man in political life or
one of the worst types of dema
gogues who have ever played
upon the prejudices of a people.
He is either deserving of the
highest extollation or the sever
est condemnation.
In the light of what wre knowr
to be true by the most competent
and reliable of testimony, there
can be no shadow of doubt as to
the hypocrisy of his pretensions.
If not, he would have vindicated
his good name by holding his
accusers liable to the stringent
laws against slander. For hun
dreds of charges have been made
reflecting upon his private char
acter and official integrity, which
violated such laws, were they not
true? Has the governor evei;
exercised this right of defense
against falsehood ? No, and what
is more, he n6ver will, for their
truthfulness could be established
in court. He will continue to go
prating over the state, villifying
those who would oppose the en
trenchment of his machine by
i third term as governor, in vio
ation of Democratic precedent,
jailing for vindication from the j
people, when from the counts he
should seek redress or hang in
shame his guilty head.
Will the people vindicate this
nonster upon his own bald state- ]
ments or will they accept the
testimony of disinterested par
ties, whose reputation for truth
and veracity is unquestioned ‘
The political future of Jeff Davis
depends upon the coming electior
and prompts a reckless disre
gard of truth, when he faces tht
record of the past two years.
But the people will remembei
this in passing judgment upor
our present governor.

Mflititry- Magpie,
Emperor William has lately reviewed
a feathered veteran of the Germai
army. One of his regiments has a pel
magpie, which is full of militarism and
very proud of its parade step. Wtei
the kaiser visited the regimental quar
ters recently he asked for this accom
plished bird. A French illustrated pa
per publishes a picture of the incident
There is the kaiser sitting sternly Ii
the saddle and there is the magpie witt
its martial stride and there are th<
officers of the regiment with minglec
anxiety and pride plainly marked on at
their faces.
Horses That Rotate.
The novel house of Eugene Petit, e
French architect, turns to the sun ai
the will of its occupants. It Is mount
ed on a steel platform, which is rotated
on ball bearings by a pinion geared In
a circular set of teeth. An ordinary
three-story dwelling can be turned bj
two men. Water, gas and electricity are
brought in through a central passage
and sewage finds Its exit In a simllaj
way. Houses of this kind, costing not
more than ten per cent, above the or
dlnary, are required for the patientl
of Dr. Pellegrln, the advocate of heli
otherapy.
The women of Kansas have wot

schools, the principal feature of which
was that courtship may be carried on
