This from the Little Rock Ark.
Democrat is timely it it wise it is
proper it is eminently judicious but
it is unexpected:
“The absence of the infernal pistol
in the little “scrimmages” which oc-
casionally occur in the best regulated
communities is a most hopeful sign ot
the times. The pistol is in bad re-
pute.”
Sad but true. The Arkansas dem-
ocracy have lost faith in the pistol
and have staked their everlasting all
upon the shot gun. There is justifi-
cation for this. In the Clayton case
the shot gun was found a potent rem-
edy for the political ills of which
democrats in republican communities
complain.
Neil Burgess was in New York
Wednesday and though he carried
one arm in a sling was looking and
feeling fairly well. He will begin a
brief road season next month. —
