KING CHARLES
GETS HIS DOSE.
The Arkansas Democrat says
editorially: Governor Davis has
admitted that he has a conve
nient rubber stamp commission
system for use while he spends
twenty-three months out of every
two years’ term in arraying the
prejudices of the people that they
may be induced to retain him in
office. In his Eureka Springs
speech he sajd:
“I find upon examination in my
office that my private secretary
in my absence signed a commis-*
sion for a negro in Chicot county
as justice of the peace.”
Commenting upon the above
admission, which is in itself as
open a confession of gross neglect
of official duty as that made in
the celebrated Labor-day speech,
Judge C. D. Wood says:
“What a convenience it is to
have a private secretary who
will shoulder everything that is
proved on the governor. Why
didn’t Governor Davis tell us
about the other appointments of
negroes? To say nothing of
Scipio Jones, colored, now hold
ing the position of election com
missioner in Pulaski county; there
are four negroes in Arkansas to
day holding important offices
under appointment from Jeff
Davis. They are as follows:
‘ ‘ Robert Bowers, a negro no
tary public at Malvern, in Hot
Spring county; Tom Fry, a negro,
ill r»Tl i 1 • •
cuiisiauie ui tuwnsuip, m
Chicot county; J. D. Michell, a
negro, justice of Oden township,
in Chicot county; John M. Park
er, a negro, justice of the peace
of Oden township. I make
specific charges. Anyone can
verify my statement by writing
to the county clerks of Chicot
and Hot Spring counties. If
Charlie appointed one of these
officers during the governor’s
almost continuous absence from
office, who appointed the rest?
What right has the governor to
delegate the power of appoint
ment to his private secretary,
anyway? What is the use of
having a governor at high salary
when a chep private secretary
can run the office and sign com
missions with a rubber stamp?
These seem to me to be pertinent
questions.”
“A LIFERS MISTAKE. ’ ’
Which will have its first pre
sentation in this city at the opera
house next Saturday evening,
March 12th, is a play from the
book of the same name by the
well known English author,
Charles Garvice. In putting the
story in play form, however, it
has been deemed best to bring
the characters to America, and
give them an American atmos
phere. This has been done, but
nothing of the story has been
lost. It only adds interest to it
for an audience in our own coun
try. Books, of course, are writ
ten to read, and it is not every |

yond for stage possibilities as he
writes. For this reason it is
often the case that the dramatist
gets little more than an inspira
tion from the book when he
writes a play, but in the present
case the original story will readi
ly be recognized in the play.
No one who has ever read the
story will forget the morphine
fiend, a study m itself. For the
interpretation of this play we
are given the promise of a most
excellent company of players, dtd
