The Chicago Tribune publishes
a statement of the lynchings for
1900. During the year Judge
Lynch presided when 115 persons
bade the world adieu. Arkansas
is recorded as having six lynch
ings, and Louisiana is credited
with the largest number, twenty.
OF the total number 107 occurred
in the south, and s in the north,
and 107 of the victims were ne
groes and s whites. The Little

sEN5ToR KINGS QUESTIONS.

The RECORD has received the
list of questions Hon. David L..
King ! sending out to his con-
stitueits, concerning legislation

AS 3 the Railroad Commission

J 4 canihi'efit to the people who
fcrvslyld the fact certainly has
not bsel madepublic. The COM
mission affords fat places for
soht six or eight parties, and
thu ,lB the extent of its useful
nessw! 1t is an expense, useless
expchfe, to the people of Arkan-
sasfand we favor the repeal Of
the act creating such a board.
Wefavor the completion of the
new state capitol building in the
interest of the good name of
every man, woman and child in
the state. How any one who has
beheld the old rickety, decayed
structure now used as a state
capitol can oppose the construc-
ton Of building worthy the in
habitants of a great state, is
more taan we can comprehend.
A half century ago the old build
ing was perhaps in keeping with
the progress Of he state, but it is
certainly not today. If Arkan-
sas cannot have state house
equal to the court houses in
many counties, it is truly in a
bad way. ...
We do not favor the enactment
of state banking law, carrying
With it state inspection Of all
banks. Like the Railroad Com

\ We do not favor experimenting
with a law by which all school
books would be printed in the
Deaf Mute Institute and sold to
the people, for many reasons
which will be given at another
time. f.... ''.' 1851.
As to the consolidation of state
and national elections we most
heartily favor a measure to that
end. The consolidation of these
elections is a matter of economy
to the people Of the state. The
less of the turmoil of politics the
better for everybody. .r
A reform school for minor
criminals is something many Of
the states have and will not
abandon. Throwing young boys
in the penitentiary with the most
hardened criminals nine times in
ten makes bad men Of boys who
could have been made useful

But mex day the papers limited that his
mother starved 10 death,
An Joe wouldn't give her food enough
to keep her mortal breath;
An then another paper said he used to
beat his wife,
Au' now she hid out in the barn tha,
she might save her life.
They said he was an inddel, m na-chisl

An said it looked suspicious that n

An then they said the hosS he dri,
