the party is immortal

The Democratic Party is the Champion of the People’s Rights and Stands for the Greatest Good to The Greatest Number, Says William Jennings Bryan.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE

Declaring Hie Democratic party can not dlo and lias accomplished more out of ofBce in the last twelve years than the Republican party has in office, W. J. Bryan bids his supporters not despair. In the current Issue of the Commoner be speaks of the election results and discusses the future. He says: ‘‘The election of 1908 is over and the returns disclose a signal victory for our opponents, but the principles for which our party contends, these are not dead. "Docs any one believe the American people will permanently permit secrecy as to campaign contributions? Does any one believe the American people will permanently permit the will of the voters to be thwarted, as it is now, by the election of senators through legislatures? Does any one believe the trusts will be permitted pernian ntly to exploit the masses? Does any one believe the consumer will permanently permit the tariff to lie written by the heneliciarles of that tariff? Does any one believe the public will permanently tolerate an estrangement between labor and capital? Does any one believe 15,000,000 of depositors will forever permit their savings to lie jeopardized as at present? Does any one believe the extravagance of government will go on forever unchecked? Does any one believe our Republic will permanently emsent to

a colonial policy with its humiliations and its financial burdens? “During the last twelve years the Democratic party has accomplished more out of office than the Republican party has accomplished in office, and this is a sufficient reward for those who fight for the righteous cause. It would have been pleasant to have been able to reward worthy Democrats with official positions. They are looking for good government, and they labor unselfishly for ; tlie promotion of good government. “As for myself, let no one worry about my future. The holding of office is a mere incident in the life of those who are devoted to reforms. The reform is the essential thing If one can advance reforms by holding office, then holding office is justifiable; if one can best advance reforms as a private citizen, then holding of office is undesirable. “The world owes me nothing. 1 have been abundantly compensated for what I have been able to do. My life w’ill not be long enough to repay the people for their support and for the confidence they have expressed. “With an abiding faith in the triumph of truth and an unfaltering confidence in the righteousness of our cause, I speak this word of encouragement to those who call themselves friends. I shall keep step witii them and march on. If we are right, as I believe we are, it will vindicate us; if we contribute, as f believe we are contributing, to a cause that is founded on justice our efforts w'ill weigh in final victory.”

CCULO NOT PAY THIS MORNING

Thursday morning a rather goodlooking man of past middle age stepped into the M. D. Ricketts jewelry store and asked if he might leave his suit eases there for a time. Receiving permission he deposited them in a corner and took himself oTf. Ife did not appear again during the day, and when the store was closed at night the man had not appeared to claim his property. This morning the reason for the absence was explained by Marshal Reeves who appeared at the store to take the “grips” to the hotel. The marshal stated that the owner had become intoxicated yesterday, and last night was placed under arresr. At the jail lie developed a decide 1 fighting spirit and it was with difficulty that he was persuaded to go to bed. This morning he was before tb mayor on a charge of intoxication. He was found guilty and fined $1 and costs of $10. He had but $5 with him and went back to the jail in lefault of the other six. The man gave his name as Edwar ! Russell, and stated that lie is agent for a patent window wash.

The final and complete returns from the legislative districts show that the Democrats will have a majority of fourteen on joint ballot in tlie coming general assembly. The Republicans elected ten membe's of the senate an 1 tlie Democrats elc a “J sixteen. The Republicans had seven teen holdover senators and the !> tocrals seven. The senate, theruioie stands twntv .-.t-ven Republicans an 1 twenty-three Democrats, or, in othei words, the Republicans have a majority of four in tbt senate. The Republicans elected forty-one members of ilie house of representatives and tlie Democrats elected fiftynine. This gives the Democrats a majority of eighteen in tho house. Deducting the Republican maiority of four in Hie Semite from the Democratic majority of eighteen in the house leaves the Democrats a majoiity on joint ballot ot fourteen.

A c-pecial says; that Caldwell Ai Drake, whe ! uilt the Pu'nam Ccnty Court Ho sc may never tiniMi the State Hoif-e at Little Rock, Ark a structure on which work Inis bean stopped for a year or more, file Governor of Arkansas lias been nn tagonistic to this firm ever since the contract was awarded and it Is charged that he was instrumental in having the contractors stop work when the building was about half finished. The contract was awarded Caldwell & Drake for a sum not much below $1,000,000. After the side walls were up and the floors in, in fact, after everything was ready for the roof and tlie inside finish, it was found the money appropriated to carry on the work had lapsed and that no more could be paid out until new appropriation was made. A special session of the legislature was called, but influences were brought to bear by which the session adjourned abruptly, and no money to continue tlie State House work was appropriated. So tlie building has wood idle for several months, and the money put in the structure Is still

tied up.

The Auditor of Arkansas admits that the State owes Caldwell & Drake $89,800 and the contractors claim practically as much more in extras, but not a cent of tlie money due can be paid because the amounts to be used within the appro priatious have lapsed. The Legislature does not meet until January and owing to the muddled condition of things at Little Rock, it is said Caldwell & Drake will simply try and collect the amount of money now due and then throw up the contract or else turn it over to some other con-

tractor.

Caldwell & Drake built a ten-story office building at Little Rock while waiting for the Legislature to do something In the State House matter, and the firm has about $250,000 invested in that structure. It contains 300 suites of rooms and practically all of them are rented, bringing the

Ow ng to the excitement of !i • ideiiic.n, there lias been but IDtl ' litigation disposed of at this term ol coutl which will come to an end Saturday. There lias been but two j t , trials during the entire term and botli of these were small cases. There has been considerable court busim^ transacted such as defaults and minor details in many actions, but the big damage suits which arc pending on the docket were continued for various reasons. The accumulation of litigation lias again caused the attorneys to revive the demand for a separate Hr cult for Clay County and it is likely that the matter will be taken before the next General Assembly when it convenes next January. By creating a new circuit the bu-i ness of the court could be handled much more lapidly and cases would not have to lie on the docket fr uit term to term as at present. If a new circuit is created Judge Hawley will continue to serve as judge of the Clay Circuit Court and the Governor would appoint a new judge for Put- j nam County. Prosecutor Hughe would serve as the prosecuting attor- j ney of Putnam County and a new ; prosecutor would be appointed for
