Gov. Eagi e, of Arkansas, is on.
of tho many men whose success it
life is due to the enconnigeiuen
and stimulus ofaclever wile. Eve,
since her marriage Mrs. Eagle, ha
pushed her huslmnd forward. Shi
even educated him, fr he rrn!
not read uutil he Ltwl luehed ma
ture years, and as a result of hei
efforts he became in turn a student,
a preacher of the gospel and i;
teficher. In every way she eu
couraged him, and his nomination
to the governorship was traceabli
directly to her inlluence over tin
State convention. Naturally Ar
kansas is proud of Mrs. Eagle, am.
her position in the State is not nn
like that of Mrs. Logan in Illinois.
The following from the "Data ol
Ethics," by Herbert Spencer, isa
applicable to-day as when written:
The man who, expending his ener
gies wholly on private affairs ie.
fuses to take trouble about public
affairs, pluming himself on his wis
dom in minding his own business,
is blind to the fact that his owi.
" business is made possible only b
maintenance of a healthy social
state, and that he loses all around
by defective governmental arrange
ment. Where there are many
like-minded with himself where
as a consequence, ofllw ''''"" to be
filled by political adventures ant
opinion isswajed by demagogue
where bribery vitiates tho admiu
istratiou of the law and makes
fraudulent state transactions habit
ual, heavy penalties full on the
community at large, and, among
others, on those who have thu
done everything for self and noth
ing for society. Their investments
are insecure; recovery-of the! i
debts Is difficult, and' oven their
lives are less safe than (hey would
otherw ise hi) ve lieen.
