We have summoned witness es and fud natural reserve aud reticence on their part to furnish information that would tend to in kcrease the assessment of their seighbors and the most persistent N.nd diigent inquiries does not give us the data necessary for an in telligent and perfect equalization, and consequently we find it impos- siole to give equal and exact jus tlce to all our citlzens.

EXEGUTOR
Of Blanche Roland Estate Files Mo.

h le chaucery court in the case of Burton B. Wei against Anna Isabel linneran and J. M. White, executors of the estate of Blanche Roland, deceased, bill was filed by the attorneys for tee defendants asking that the injunction granted hefetoforein the case be either dis solved or modified.
 The defendant, White, seeks the dissolution in the chancery court Of the injunction as against him as executor of the said estate of Blanche Roland for the following reasons:
 First. Because complaint shows the ehancery court to have no iuris- diction. There is now DO suit pend ing to recover upon the claim set out in the said complaint, nor can there be, under the statement of facts set forth in the complaint, any suit brought until the interest of his co-defendant, Anna Isabel Fin neran, be set aside to her.
 Secondly. 20 per cent. being the most plaintiff would realize out of the granting of theA injunction, the court should not have ordered an inlunctiona flor a greater amount than eoa F ,s00 tsa ssi ia statsd' the suit, ay

Ptf.-1s The above looks like an unjust discrimination.
 The offense in each case and the penalty was the same, Then, why should Dr. Rashbaum, q citizen and doctor, be fined more for the same offense than Billy Burdell. who Is reported to he professional gambler?
 Why was 1t that the honorable prosecuting attorney charged the citizen who happened not to be gambler by profession $25 anu re- mitted his fee of $25 in tbe gamblers case.
 pr. Raschbaum had topay S44.2 .2Ss while W J Burdell paid sI6.25forthe same offense-a discrimination of S2S. .O0 in favor of tic gambler, Is it a fact that man who practices just what the law condemns is ups held in the practice of it by the de- lenders of the law
 Is there secret understanding between our prosecuting attorney and the gamblers? II so, we would like to know It. For the benefit of the public and to substantiate what we have stated in this article as to apparent discrimination in office, we publish what the Statutes Of Ark ansas says the officers of the law shall do. The following is from Sandels < Hills Digest, Section 1913:
 Every person who shall set up, keep or exhibit any gaming table or gambling device, commonly called IA, B. C., E. O.. roulette. rough ct noir, or any faro bank CT any other gaming table or gambling device or bank of the like orsimilar kind Orof any other description. although not herein named, be the name and de- nomination what it may, adopted devised or designed for the purpose of playing any game of chance, or at which any money or property pay 1 be won or lost, shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and on con- victi9n thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than $l0O and may be imprisoned not less than 30daysnor more than one year"
 The above record seems to call for an official explanation of apparent discriminations in the enforcement of the law. We pause for reply. #
