Senator w F. Kirby of this county, was defeated for Presi- dent of the Senate by q railroad lobby, with plenty of poodle, . so we are reliably informed He went into the caueas with IS votes promised, enough to nomi- nate him. but said influence changed enough to defeat him only II kept promise-Wilson only had 12, but finally won. We are truly glad that AIr. K refused to compromise himself, by making the railroads any promises-his was a noble de fcat-glory in his backbone Our senator will make himself felt, before the close of the ses- sion.
 The above spuib We find in the Texarkanian-a paper published at Texarkana, Ark, and the home of senator Kirby. It con. tains serious charge upon "a railroad lobby.' whoever or whatever that may be, and by inuendo upon Senator Wilson. who Is known and acknowledg- ed to be one of the best as well as one ot the most incorruptible men in the State of Arkansas. If the Texarkanian' s informa- ton is reliable, :" the facts in the case should be given to the country. The four senators who didn't keep promise to Kirby, and who were influenced by railroad lobby poodle" should be pointed out; since they are public men and serving the pub lie, the public have an interest in their doings and have a right to demand that a showdown be made If the railroads demand ed any promises of AIr. Kirby, 1t IS but just and fair to the coun- try that 1t be informed as to what these demanded promises were.
 The inference to be deducted from what the Texarkanian says is, that if MT. Kirby re- fused to compromise himself by making the railroads any prom ises, then Mir. Wilson did; and as to the last part of this propo- sition no man, who knows Rob ert ]. Wilson, will for a moment entertain or believe
 The charges, given publicity by the Texarkanian, may be true but in this day and genera

SOME members of the General Assembly of Arkansas seem pos sessed with the idea that the way to suppress crime is to in- crease the penalty. But to the man with average thinking abil- ity this plan will not suggest it. self as at all likely to attain the resultcontemplated The penal ty of the law must be commen- surate with the ot1ense, to be et- fectiVe. Human nature will re volt at the idea of severe punish ment for q frivolous offense, and i11ries will positively refuse to enforce such rigid and unneces- sarv penalties. So 1t will be found that when the statute makes a penalty unusually SC we're, there will be few or no con victions under such a statute.
 Law, to be enforcible, must be based on reason, and if unreas- enable lawmakers enact laws which prescribe villainous penal ties to frivolous oifenscs, such laws will be but dead letters on the statute books and the coun- try will be worse for their exist encn

Delta Gammas in Lincoln.


Delta Gammas in Lincoln.
This is the week of the twelfth bien.
NAL convention OF Delta Gamma. The
second floor Of the Lincoln has been
given up to the delegates who dine to-
gether, en- fanille, in the ordinary.
The Cranford Play.
Members of the local chapter Of Delta
Gamma produced a play on Tuesday
night at the home of Miss Garten.
Somebody employed by the Ladies'
Home Journal has dramatized Crawford,
that delightful, pathetic story told by
Mrs. Gaskell 80 many years ago, story
that has more charm in one unpreten-
tious little page than there is in all the
three hundred and sixty pages Of ITO
Have and to Hold" or in any Of the
other historical efforts lately printed,
One of the most satisfactory and whole
some delights Of girls fraternities is the
intimate family association Of college
girls. Another advantage not enjoyed
by barbarians is the intercourse which
lie ever kept alive between the alumnae
and active members of the fraternity.
Crawford was a email English village
inhabited principally by women. maiden
ladies and widows. a poverty-stricken
little village wherein the ancient ladies
lived lives OF self-denial sweetened by
convictions that wealth ia vulgar and
poverty refinement. Charity, gentleness,
unselfishness, reverence for breeding
ard for rank. which are by no means
synonymous, characterize the ladies Of
CRAWFORD. The young ladies who pre-.
sented the play on Tuesday evening
we're exquisite illustrations of the book.
The stage was set with old furniture.
spider-legged tables and chairs, rare
old spinet, a tall clock, old brass candle
sticks, and old-fashioned bric-a-brac.
The actresses were costumed in rare old
laces preserved for two generations by
the mothers and grandmothers OF the
graceful and beautiful young women
who took the parts. The programs
were dainty paneled screens of card
board folded twice with a character in
Crawford painted on the fourth panel.
The work on the programs was done by
Mrs. Edmisten, Miss Polk and Miss
Lansing. The old -fashioned colors of the
silks of the time, the delicate pink in
the cheeks of the old ladies. the flowing,
liquid lines OF the gowns are exquisiteIy
reproduced in the programs, which
were illuminated after the fash.
ion Of old breviaries. Eighty of these
programs we're prepared. And the
printing prees might as we'll never have
been invented. Dramatis Personae:

Smith was a charming young lady with
neck curls. She was present in the
play az the narrator is present in the
book, sympathetic. helpful visitor en-
tirely unconscious Of her own charm.
Lady Glenmire was unaffectedly simple
and lovely. Miss Bowen was natural
and easy. Miss Haggard as Mrs. For
ester was tart and spicy. Miss Gertrude
Macomber, the maid, was an English
country maid, crude and loving Miss
Garten as Miss Pole was both handsome
and impressive, Of quick answer, gesture
and impa'se. Miss edith Abbott as the
only man was remarkably effective. 1t
is pity that this play should have been
seen by only few people. The caste
has made a scholarly study Of costumes,
properties and stage setting and their
play is fetching and their effects well
made. Between the acts Miss Jessie
Lansing sung some old songs. Miss
Lansing's exquisite and careful reading
Of her songs, her sweet reaching voice
in these old melodies, the simplicity and
truth of her method, made the between
acts very pleasant.
Complimentary Teas.
Wednesday afternoon the Kappa Kappa
Gammas gave a complimentary tea at
the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. CO. Whedon.
Invitations were extended to the moth
ers Of the Kappa members and to all
the members Of local fraternities as we'll
as to the visiting delegates. The guests
were received by Misses May Whiting,
Blanche Hargreaves, Blanche Emmons,
Mabel Hayes and Margaret Whedon.
and were directed to the dressing rooms
by two little girls, Blanche Woodruff
and Sarah Outcait, who we're dressed In
white. The dining room was beauti-
fully decorated in the Kappa colors.
The table had a centrepiece of blue
fleur-de-lis and was lighted with blue
candles, with light and dark blue pen
nants festooned from the ceiling Ice
cream was served by Mrs. Lew Mar.
shall and Misses Emma Outcalt, Doro.
thy Griggs, Nancy Cunningham. Ellen
Gere and Rosanna Bradt, all of whom
wore white gowns. The punch room up
stairs was decorated with the emblems
and special flowers Of Delta Gamma, and
the assistants we're gowned in pink.
They were: Misses Adelloyd Whiting,
Grace Bennett, Helen Wilson, Louise
Burnham, Gladys Hargreaves and Ruth
Raymond. Music was furnished by a
stringed orchestra. At the same hour
tea was given by the members of Pi
Beta Phi at the home OF Mrs. Stuart
The parlor and music rooms were dec
grated in red, and tho hall in scarlet and
cream. Mrs. Stuart was assisted in re-
ceiving by Mesdames E. B. Andrews,
G. b. Morrill,, Al Sawyer and Misses

Punch was served by Mrs. George Ris-
