Gov. Clarkc's message submitted to tho legislature yesterday is m able and comprehensive document highly characteristic in it's terse and frankly written style of its au- thor. It IS, doubtless, the last state paper the Governor will have occasion 10 issue, yet careful pc- rnsal fails 10 disclose any of the or nate peculiarities and high-fown embellishments that most retiring officials consider tho chief requisite to farewell message. In a plain, bnsiness-llke way, he recommends that the legislature permit the peo- pie to express at special election their wishes concerning revision sof the constitution, .,whieh he ad- vises. He devotes C. considerable portion of his message to the estab- lishment of a railroad commission, and the argument by which he maintains hls contention that such Il body can be created under the present constitution is especially strong and convincing. He recon. mends the creation of a state board of equalization, law re- quiring collectors of revenues to urn over their collection to the treasurers immediately after collec- ton, and an improvement in the manner of collecting delinquent staxes. as needed legislation on the subject of revenue. Hei refers to he law tsxing telegraph, express, and sleeping car companies. and predicts that the U. s. Supreme Court will sustain the law, though. Judge Williams has declared it un. constitutional. He advises the ab. olishment of the tax on officers commissions and the restriction of the power of trusts. He wishes 10 see Arkansas represented at the Tennessee and Omaha expositlons. with Mir. Vincenheller ir charge of the displays.

No doubt there will be des. pcrate effort made during this ses. sion of the Legislature leading to the W working of convicts from tue penltentlary on railroads to be owned and operated by the stato. We hope the states representative 0 body will not so far disregard the principles of political economy in jeopardizing the states prospect we era of prosperity by recogniz- ing policy wherein points so strongly the unfeasibility of the project. Any school boy can pick up statistics on railroads and find that about 75 per cent. of the roads nowln operation, arc in the hands of receivers, and cannot meet their obligations. Some may argue that this state of affairs WAS brought about by avaricerand dis honesty, and the too prfnceIy sals- ries afforded their officials, etc. Be this as it may, it is . fact all the same, and it will indeed bur den the state with . great load of presumption 10 presume that she can reverse 10 workings of this unwrittcn law.

Missouri is about to join the column of states in the protection ot fish and game. A bill to that effect and changing the office of Fish Commissioner to that of Fish
 and Game Warden, will be pre- scnted to the Missouri legislature next week. The" St. Lotus Star says that the framers of tho new laws are confident that the bills will be enacted and that the game of Missouri will at last receive much needed protection from mar ket and foreign hunters who have been gradually depicting the state of its best game birds, animals and tith. These laws seem to be just. in that they afford equal protection to the sportsman who hunts for pleasure and the farmer and land owner who shoots tor his table needs. Pot hunters are en. titled to no consideration and re- eelved none. Arkansas needs just such q law, and it is believed that the present legislature will enact such laws as will forever protect the game and fish in the state.

Such a one fla miliarlzes himself with details, studies methods, does not look too often at the clock and is not over ly insistent upon vacations. He identifies his interests with those of his employer. He has sort of proprietary feeling toward the store. He is painstaking, cnthu- siastic. honest and true.
