Great Is Arkansas.

There was q time in years gone by that the mention of the word Arkansas, in other states, was the signal for general merriment; 1t was the laughing stock of the states.
 The mere mention of the word Arkansas brought forth visions of sWamps almost without end, of chilIs and fever, worthless rocky hills covered with scrubby timber, razor back hogs, great waste of land covered with water and filled with alGgators and snakes, of peo- pie who were web footed with moss growing on their backs, and who didn't know the war was over.
 Now that all is changed; when ever the word Arkansas is men, toned, it brings to mind almost all the Iuxuries and valuable pro- ducts of the United States; 1t IS synonomous with the great plan tations of cotton and corn, wheat fields, the finest apples, peaches, pIums and strawberries in the world, the best timber and largest saw mills in the South. rich mines of lead and zinc, iron, coal fields of vast extent, marblerivaling that of Italy, even gold and silver and pearl fisheries that pay. The peo- pie are the best in the world, have good schools and churches, tele- phones and railroads in all parts of the state. The poor man has a chance; he can buy home and soon pay for 1t and be indepen- dent Arkansas has no unemploy- ed; all Wh6 want work can get 1t.
 When the Arkansas man now goes abroad, he has no reason to be ashamed of his state but can proudly say, l nm from Arkansas, the pearl of the South. "
 Verify, great Is Arkansas.

Naturalization Frauds.

Owing to serious violations of the new naturalization law, which have just been discovered by a special agent of the Department of Justice, President Roosevelt, it is said, will recommend to Congress such a change in the law as will limit the right of conferrlng nat uralization to the Federal courts.
 He will favor also permanent commission to question the appli-

Tho Nee ting at Yonkers.

We confess that We cannot detect much
promise Of profit in the coming meeting
at Yonkers between Mr.. HAvEMEYER
and the labor unions. Mr.. HAvEMEYER's
questions for debate are:
Shall employers be permitted to conduct a law
full business In lawful way without tho dictatlon
Of walking delegates from irresponsible and lswless
unionst
Shall employees who refuse to join labor union
be permitted TO earn support for themselves and
families by honest lsbor,-
LAWFUL" irresponsible, lawless n
and honest are sentimental and snowy
terms, which are pretty sure to turn
into mere opportunities for irrelevant
talk, to be eagerly embraced. Business
that is not lawful or unlawful manage
ment. is not properly serious subject
for a meeting like the one approaching.
No union is supposed to be essentially
either irresponsible or lawless. No
union will answer to such name, so in
making use OF it Mr.. HAvEMEYER is
merely firing in the air. Under the
terms Of his invitation, when he gets to
his meeting he won't find the guests he
expects. II he will strip his questions
Of adjectives they will become more
searching.
Without waiting for the Yonkers meet
ing, however, the first question can be
answered in the negative, off-hand. If
unions prefer to conduct their business
through walking delegates, and become
strong enough to dictate the conditions
on which they will trade their labor for
the employers cash, their legal right 80 to
dictate is no more questionable than is the
right Of each individual member to de-
eide how much he Is willing to pay for
his hat. II they will work but an hour a
day, at $40 an hour, prescribing at the
same time that their employers shall wear
green caps and drink no beer, no one can
say them nay. And at none Of it's stages,
from start to finish, has the outside public
any business with the controversy.
Possibly in the second question there
is the nucleus OF the issue that Mr.. HAVE
MEYER had in mind for discussion We
take it that he asks whether strikers may
take the law into their hands and compel
other men to stop work. That is the
pivotal question Of nine strikes out OF
Ten, and No is the answer which the
law keeps standing. II that fact be
brought more prominently to notice the
affair may not be without value, after all.

The Gifted Climate OF Minneapolis.

The lyric rapture of Col. PAT DOMAIN in
celebration Of the bland temperature and
tropic winter of the Banana Belt fingers in
few faithful memories; but he belonged
to the world Of romance rather than that
of business. Minneapolis, which we dare
not call the lustiest and loudest of the
Twin Cities, has a calm commercial
boomer and barker" whose matter
of-fact manner outdoes the creations of
fiction. He is Mr.. EDMUND G. WALTON,
real estate dealer. His special genius
lies in his method Of dealing with climate
he gives notice to all tourists and travel
lers that right in Minneapolis they can
get all the variations Of heat and cold,
wet and dry, rare and dense, which they
would find in the course OF a journey
across the continent. For instance:
Take Lonns Park and Lowry Hill; although
only one eighth of mile spsr. the winter OF the
former Is. a. . rule. 10 degrees colder while the
summer Is 10 degrees hotter: the one Is damp the
other Is dry; one gets . narrowly confined wind
the other q broad, sweeping breese; one Is of the
marsh. the other OF the hilltop: and the person
complaining Of rheumatism and cramps 10 the Lor-
ing Park district can get A. big . change In two
blocks - be can get In one thousand miles.
Roam no more, sick ones, roam no
more! Why waste time and money in
journeys to Colorado, California, Alaska?
The Minneapolis trolley lines will take
you into all climates. or you can walk
from Switzerland to Sicily, from Algiers
to Lapland, in two minutes. Become "a
roaming Minneapolitan.
So sings the insinuating WALTON. st.
Paul listens modify and snarls enviously
that Minneapolis not only has Loring
Park and Lowry Hill, but it has Columbia
Heights. where the forty-acre reservoirs
for the city's water supply not only dis
pense Mississippi River drainage over
the fifty square miles Of the citys area,
but serve the double mission of being a
home and breeding plant for the largest
frog colony yet recorded and the founda-
tion for an industry which is a material
source Of revenue by reason OF the royal
ties derived from the frog franchise"
All climates and forty acres of frogs
legs! The earthly paradise is now on the
map.

RUSSYA's "EvACUATI0N."

On Oct. 9. last year, the Russians noni-
nally evacuated Manchuria under the agree
ment with the Powers. Russia had, how
| ever, the right under the convention with
China. to keep troops In Manohuria to guard
the railroad she has built. 1t Is not Likely
that a single soldier was withdrawn into
Siberia.
All the world knows the marvellous
change that Russia made along the line OF
this railroad. Any traveller on this road
would almost forget that ne was in Chinese
territory.
Hailar. for example. which Ave years
ago was an Insignificant Chinese town in the
northwest, Is to-day really Russian city,
supplied with Russian hotels, stores and
hospitals. Hardin, which ia almost In the
exact centre OF Manchuna and Is tho point
where the branch road from Port Arthur
intercepts the main limo running from
Siberia to Vladivostok, IL now the home Of
1900 Russians and honishing and active
town.
South Of Hardin the Russians have estab-
lished colonies and built many hundreds
OF houses on the concessions which China
gave to them outside all the large towns
The Russian concession just outside OF
Mukden has an area Of "a square miles.
on which large barracks were erected, as
we'll as buildings for the railroad officials.
the officers OF the Russian garrison and COL
onists brought into the country.
In all towns where Russian troops were
quartered along the railroad the evacua-
ton consisted simply in marching the troops
from the towns to the concessions near
them. At Mukden, for example. the troops
that were in camp on the outskirts OF the
town merely marched an hour to the Rus
sian concession and there they remained
Where the troops were massed on the con-
cessions instead Of in the immediate envi-
rons Of the towns they have not budged an
inch.
The news came the other day that New
chwang had been reoccupied by Russian
troops. II was very easy matter for
when the town was evacuated by the Rus
sian garrison the troops simply tramped
for all hour up the river to the Russian oon-
cession. They have now marched back
again; and this is all the Russian evacua-
ton amounts to.
Russia, of course. had retained per-
mission to guard the railroad which she
built across Manchuria at enormous ex-
pense The road, to be sure, was nominally
built by Chinese company. but 1t is actually
Russian company and Russian capital
that carried out the enterprise.

flock In oheerfully, addressing the Ma
tional Rife Association, 1s5 Main ave-
nue., Passaic

As yesterday was the last day for the FL
ing at Albany OF briefs on the Bailey Auto
mobile bill, 1t 10 to be assumed that all the
arguments for and against that measure
are now In the hands OF Governor ODELi.
The clause providing that no automobile
shall pass q pedestrian, or horse, or other
domestic animal, or cross an intersecting
road, at a greater rate Of speed than eight
miles per hour was declared ty Judge
CHURCH to mean that the driver OF a motor
car may lawfully pass horse, for example,
II his machine is not run at the rate of more
than eight miles an hour faster than the
horse Is going; or that, in other words, II
the horses speed is six miles an hour. the
auto may lawfully pass at the rate OF fourteen
miles an hour. Mr.. w. d. GUTHRIE, speak
ing in opposition to the bill, properly char
acterized Judge CHURcH's Interpretation as
astounding" As matter OF fact" says
Mr.. GUTHRIE, ian automobilist could not
under the proposed law. pass horse-drawn
vehicle going at eight miles an hour in the
same direction without committing crimi-
nal offence He points out. further that
the extension OF signposts between which
motor vehicles shall. not exceed an eight
mile limit is left entirely to the discretion
OF the village authorities, and that their
judgment in this matter would not in all
probability, be disputed by the courts. He
regards as ill-advised and unfounded the
assurance Of the bills defenders that in the
majority of cases, it's provision concerning
signposts would not be observed by the re-
spective authorities. Under the Bailey law,
says he, they would extend every limit.
and busybodies would compel them to close
in every highway" The Hon. WILLIAM c.
WHITNEY. concluding his argument, said:
L" The vicious part OF this bill is that 1t makes a
violation OF any Of Its provisions criminal act. IL
your lights 60 out at night and you proceed you
are q criminal. II you break any one OF the rules
that the local authorities may make you are crim
nal. There Is not the like Of this law the statute
books In v!cousness. We are put among the crtmi.
nal classes. Common Councils can pass what laws
they please and make us criminals II violate
them.
As THE Sun has before said, the Bailey
bill should be killed, not because there are
no automobilists who abuse the privileges
OF the road, but because it is feverish piece
Of legislation that would work more injus-
tice than 1t would suppress.
