Urth Annual Meeting of Arkansas Federa- ton of Womens Clubs.

credentials committee, submitted re- port of work done by the committee Mrs. w. M Neal called the roll, and each delegate responded by rising from her seat at the call of her name. This was done so that the identity of each visitor might be i'm pressed upon others unacquainted with her.
 After the roll call, Mrs. Hanger sub- mitted her report as president of the clubs, and briefly outlined the pro- gress of clubdom in Arkansas.
 Mrs. William M Neal, of Helena, submitted an interesting report as corresponding secretary. This report indicated that twelve clubs had be- come identified with the federation that the total number federated was sevnty-three, embracing an individual membership of 2,500 women.
 On account of the absence of Mrs. T. H. Barnes, of Fort Smith, the treasurer, her report was submitted by Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal, the audi tor who followed with her report as auditor.
 Fraternal greetings were read from the Daughters of the Confederacy National Federation of Music clubs, National Society of Colonial Danes, lution.
 Just before the morning session ad- journed, resolution was presented by Mrs. Florence Gotham, of Little Rock. and unanimously adopted by the fedration. The resolution was to the effect that the Arkansas Fedora tion of Women's clubs declares itself l favorable to any amendment to the i bylaws of the National Federation which may encourage the promotion of the merit system as an essential to membership. This action on the part of the Arkansas Federation is the re- suit of the refusal of the National Federation to grant the Woman's Era club. of Boston. membership, and the resolution complimented the members of the biennial at Milwaukee for the diplomacy and skill exercised in deal ing with the color question.
 At the morning session. formal invitation was read by the president by which the local lodge of Benevo- lent and Protective Order of Elks in vited the visiting delegates and their hostesses to attend the reception to be given in honor of the federation tonight at the Elks' hall.
 The rainfall throughout the day was constant. and, due to this, the attendance at the afternoon session was not so large as at the morning session.

THE DISPENSARY BILL.

The Chamber of Commerce has con-
sidered the dispensary bill and has
adopted a resolution which should have
great weight with the Legislature. The
Chamber points out that the measure
is radical and that it should be brought
before the electorate.
This is the line of argument adopted
by The Star ever since the bill was
brought up. The Star has never OPP
posed the bill, per Sc, but it has OPP
posed its passage at the present time
because it was not an issue of the last
political campaign, and it's introduce
ton is a dishonest political move. To
do evil that good may come is a motto
which has been followed by the Jesuits,
but it is not one which has been of
much advantage to them in the long
run.
The Chamber of Commerce represents
the entire business community. The
men who compose it are men of the
very highest standing in the communi-
ty. When they enter upon the dis
cussion of such matter, they are far
more qualified to judge of the effects
of the law, than any theorists who do
not know what the results may be and
apparently care still less. The opinion
of the Chamber of Commerce should
therefore be most carefully considered
and should have a, weight which the
irresponsible signers of an ordinary
petition cannot have. Everyone knows
how petitions are got up. We once
had a petition in the Legislature to
move the Island of Lanai nearer to
Maui, so that bridge could be erected
to connect the two Islands, and the
petition met with many signatures.
The true and only way to obtain the
view of the people upon any point is tc
have them vote. Many a man will
sign a petition because he does not re-
gard such things as of much value. He
often signs to please a friend, or he
signs because he feels that if he did
not, it would be held up against him.
In voting, however, he is a free agent
No one knows, how he votes, he can
give his unbiased opinion. We ought
to have the unbiased opinion of the
whole Of the voters upon the Dispen-
sary law. To pass it upon petitions
honorable. Put it to the vote.

MAY-DAY.


The Kilohana Art League has done
many good things during its existence,
and has brought forward and FOSTER
ed the esthetic side of our Island life.
After working for some years among
the adults it has now turned it's at
tention to the children and has arrang-
ed for or rather is arranging for a
May-day celebration.
With US the seasons are not marked
as they are upon the mainland. 1t
might be said that our climate is al
ways May, and that any period of the
year might be chosen, but the Art
League think, and properly, that the
day which marks the transition from
Spring to Summer in the temperate
zone, the day which is so chosen on the
mainland, is the proper day for us to
hold our celebration.
The celebrating of May-day, has
fallen into desuetude, among our race,
bat it used to be one of the great fes-
rivals in the year, and is still on the
continent of Europe, while the popular
ly on the mainland.
The word May j.. often supposed to
be derived from A.aia the mother of
Mercury according to the Roman
mythology but it il ldr older than that
and can be traced back to the Sanskrit
means what it really is in the temper
ate zone, the growing month. The
budding belongs to April, the growing
takes place in May.
May-day festivals and ceremonies
can be traced back to periods anterior
to the historic record and our Aryan
ancestors no doubt enjoyed themselves
on May-day. But in historic times the
festivalhas always been prominent. The
Roman youths used to go into the fields
and spend the calends of May,-April
% to May /, in dancing and singing in
honor of Flora, the goddess Of flowers.
The Druids had their Mayday festi
val. The English of the Plantagenet
time consecrated May-day to Robin
Hood and Maid Marion because that
favorite outlaw, so charmingly de-
scribed long afterwards by Sir Walter
Scott in Ivanhoe, died on that day.
For centuries May-day was celebrated
on every village green, and everyone
had it's May-pole, where as Milton
says MANY a man and maid dancing
in the chequered shade" spent the
"blithesome holiday" 1t was also the
great day for archery and other amuse-
ments and necesstated the consump-
tion of much nut brown" ale, and
mead, probably to the disadvantage Of
the heads of our ancestors which doubt
less "consumedly ached on the NOR
row" as Ingodsby has it in his parody
on the death of Sir John Moore.
May-day festivals in England receiv-
ed their death blow from the Puritans.

There seems to have been a pretty
lively fight with gamblers last Satur-
day. The police force, which went out
to capture the crowd, found that the
men who We're defying the law were in
clined to emphasize their wrongdoing
with clubs and any other weapons they
could lay their hands on. The main
part of the crowd were Hawaiians and
Chinese, but back of them We're some
low down white bummers. This is a
class which is constantly increasing in
the Territory and is liable to give us a
great deal of trouble. The few police
who broke up the gambling zen showed
immense pluck and nerve. There will
be lively times in the police court when
the cases are brought up.

1t is not generally known that there
is quite crop Of cane sugar produced
in Spain. Last year 1925 tons of cane
sugar were produced from 25S,1S1 tons
of cane, or about one ton of sugar to
seven and a half tons of cane. There
are twenty-eight mills, two of which are
in the province of Almeria, ten in
Granada and sixteen in Malaga. With
the loss of her colonies Spain is paying
special attention to the development Of
tropical or semi-tropical products on
her own soil, and the cane area is very
likely to be largely increased Besides
cane sugar Spain cultivate beets and
last years sugar output from this
source amounted to 50,426 tons. The
consular reports do not give the cost
of production, which, in the case of cane
sugar, would be immensely interesting
to our planters.

THE DEER DRAWS CROWDS.
The atest Accession to the Zoo is One Of Great
Interest to the Children.

The deer at the park drew full house
yesterday and will likely continue for
several days as the main attraction in
the ZOO though there are others. The
bear for instance, and the monk; the wolf
and the egret, the foxes and cOons and
crows and 'possums white rats, guinea
pigs, squirrels and pigeons; and last but
not least the gator. But the deer are all
the fad and fashion now.
Since their arrival an important ques-
tion of state has been agitating the
board of aldermen, to-wit: what amount
shall be appropriated for their support.
AS they seem to be dividing hOnors pref
ty equally with the bear, ought they not
be paid as much?

Dalles for Sheriff Mccoy as the best way
OF getting out of the difficulty.
In two days the Sheriff arrived. He had
to wait a week, until Doc Tyner said it
was safe to take Carlos Hartman on the
journey across the forty miles of prairie
to The palles.
When the time came to bring Hartman to
jail. Dollie, who had been at his side since
the fatal day at the bridge. accompanied
him and nursed him tenderly until the day
of his trial.
Carlos Hartman. on the evidence Of a
dozen witnesses. was indicted for the muir
der Of John Hartman
At the trial. which was attended by ranch
men for a hundred miles around. the State
introduced "Hank' Tucker and Bill Gould
as witnesses. They had met the defendant
within ten minutes after passing John Har-
riman on his way to The Dalles. and both
described how he was wrapped In a heavy
buffalo robe. and refused to
their salutations.
1t was shown that the baggage brought
by Hank" Tucker to The Dalles. and
which bore the name Of the dead man. was
taken from the boat landing by Carlos Har-
riman, and by him sent to Portland. where
It was sold.

Hartman wouid cave Carios hdLriman II

those superstitious who believed in the

Dollie had one day spent an afternoon at
the home of Patience Dale, ten miles north
of Tighe Ridge. and Patience was to be her
guest for the night.
The two girls mounted their sturdy little
cayouse ponies and set out for ABE" Hol-
denis ranch. Ii was 4 o'clock when they
started and they might easily be in "Abe's''
big sitting-room by supper time. They rode
along the trail that ran like a streak of

When they had gone four or five miles or
their way PatieDcefs horse slipped on a
