SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN GAINS.
' A concerted attack, through vari
ous publications, on the Republican
party in Arkansas is one of the first
steps in a partisan scheme to blacken
the Republican party in the South,
and to deny that it has any existence
in that section outside of combines
for federal patronage. The Republi
can party is gaining ground too fast
in nearly all the Southern states to
suit the leaders of the Democratic
party, and they have accordingly set
to work several writers to assail Re
publicanism in the South with reck
less misrepresentation or the slangy
persiflage that is one of the political
eruptive diseases of the. moment
What Democratic managers object to
in Arkansas is the rapid, steady gain
in the Republican vote. They have
seen how this symptom works out in
Missouri.
The vote of Arkansas in 1903 was
Taft 56,760, Bryan 87,015. That looks
like a vigorous opposition, not merely
a federal patronage combine In 1896
the vote of Arkansas wa3 Bryan 110,
103, McKinley 37,512. In 1908 the Re
publicans of Arkansas cast 37 "per
cent of the total vote, and in 1896
25 per cent. Between 1896 and 1908
the Republican vote in the state gain
ed 19,248, while the Democratic vote,
with the same candidate, fell off 23,
088. Throughout this whole period of
marked Democratic decline and Re
publican growth all the state patron
age and state election machinery hay
been in Democratic hands. These fig
ures are not touched by the magazines
and weeklies that have been employed
by Democratic agencies to deny that
there is any Republican party in form

From' PggNI
IAGEEE with the statement made by G. W. Perkins that there
is a woeful want of $10,000 men to fill $10,000 positions.
BUT THE PRIME REASON THAT THESE POSITIONS ARE
NOT FILLED IS IN THE EVERLASTING FEELING OF MEN
AS TO "WHERE DO I COME IN?" AND, LOOKING CONTINUALLY
IN
THAT DIRECTION, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN INTEREST AT
HEART
GAGED.
MORE THAN THE WORK
There are some men who never can get the PERSONAL ELE
MENT out of their advancement and therefore do not advance ac
cordingly, for it is not long that such a one is recognized.
There is one big remedy for the men who would reach the high
places and that is for a man to REMAIN RIGHT IN HIS CON
FINES and do his work there BETTER THAN ANY OTHER
MAN has ever done it -1
In the business world the great trouble has been in the perpetual
consideration as to WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL COMES IN.
I would say that selfishness has kept men back more than anything,
for it is only a question of time that they plunge in hope of getting
in and therefore cannot swim back to safety and success.
Of course there are hardships. But, as Stevenson says, "Responsi
bility gravitates to the man ho can SHOULDER IT," and the
high salary gravitates along with it." ' " l"
er slave states. The fact that Miss
ouri and Tennessee are under Republi
can governors is also blinked. The
Democratic fear that Arkansas also
will soon join this group is evident.
The Republicans in the House are
now getting a chance to denounce
the speaker of that body as a "a ty-.
rant:" And, of course, he always is,
for the minority..
Clark men and Folk men have
ceased to .claim everything, and be
gin to realize that they will know
they are in a state-wide fight when
they reacli Joplin. '
Some of the Mexican revolutionists
call "their latest outbreak "a three
days' revel." Affairs that cost so
much in life and property can not
long be classed as frolics.
Americans honor Charles Dickens
in spirit of his adverse and perhaps
unjust criticism. 't The balance in gen
eral is so greatly in his favor that the
censure lost its sting long ago.
Mr. Bryan has evidently concluded
that the present House is an almost
hopeless affair in leadership, - cau
cuses, purposes and ability. A change
back to a Republican House will
clear the situation.
DELIGHTFUL DANCE
The dancing party given at the
Busch hall Monday evening by the
Minuet Club was a most enjoyable
affair. The orchestra, composed of
Frank" Busch, Jr., Charles Schoen
heinz, Oscar Woodfin, Roy Baxter
and Chester Simonson did exception
ally well. All of the latest ragtime
and waltz music was rendered, and
the orchestra was forced to respond to
many enchores. Dancing was indulg
ed in until a late hour, and a luncheon
was served in the adjoining dining
room. The following were in atten

Mr. Weeks stands pre-eminent in
the lyceum world as an original and
versatile entertainer. His offerings
are almost entirely of his own com
position, and run the entire gamut
for things musical and humorous.
There is withal a gentle refinement
about his humor and here and there,
blended with it, is a touch of pathos
and the driving home of a homely
truth which proves that real mirth
has its true mission.
He has a voice of unusual range
upward of three octaves which en
ables him to give operettas, that in
troduce all the various characters
from the lofty soprano to the deep
basso profundo. He gives impersona
tions of prominent men, like Bryan,

WASHINGTON DIED
FROM SEVERE COLD
Fatal Illness followed Long Ride Through
Rain and Snow in December.
EORGE WASHINGTON died
at half past 10 o'clock on the
night of Dec. 14, 1799. He
had ridden in a drizzle of rain
and snow the day before and returned
In time for dinner, refusing to change
his clothes. He sat In the library, as
usual, the evening of the 13th and read
aloud In spite 6f a growing hoarse
ness.' '
' When his secretary. Colonel Tobias
Lear, besought him to take something
for his cold General Washington re
plied that he never took medicine for
a cold and would "let It go as it came."
In the night Mrs. Washington awoke
to find the general breathing with diffi
culty and wished to arise to suinmun
medical help, but he forbade her. say
ing she might take cold herself. Early
In the iporning, however, she did arise

and summon Colonel Lear, who sent
for Washington's old friend and phy
sician. Dr. Craik.
Other physicians were called, and
the patient was bled freely, but to no
avail. Blisters Were applied also, but
with no more effect." Washington him
self believed, after the first alarming
symptoms In the night, that the Illness
would prove fatal. -
A few modern physicians who have
studied the record of the case profess
to say that the celebrated patient
might have been saved, the excessive
bloodletting having had as much, to do
with his death as the original malady.
Besides Mrs. . Washington and the
physicians. Colonel Lear was constant
ly at the general's bedside and, left
several accounts of the death scene.
He recorded Washington's last words
as "It is well." Colonel Lear wrote
letters giving an account of the death
to President John Adams, General
Alexander Hamilton, General C. C.
Washington, Samuel Washington. Colo

Lewis, G. W. P. Custis, George S.

but recently come to light. Ball was
a cousin of Washington's, and there
were many letters to him from the

The letter from Colonel Lear to Colo

Is among the number. It is as follows:
Mount Vernon, Dec. 15. 1799.
