Mr.. Rockefeller recently asked his
class; What is hypocrite?" And
the obstreperous pupil at once replied I:
"Hypocrisy is systematically tilching
the life substance out of the masses and
giving back small percentage and pub

A Question.

''How many Of our readers were con-
yersant with the various features of the
King antitrust bill before the last cleo.
ton, and how many Of them hsd it in
mind when they voted for jeff Davis1'
We ask this because in their speeches
before the senate In favor Of accepting
the bill without amendments most of
the senators speaking for the measure
claimed the voters of the state demanded
it. We warrant that In voting for jeff
Davis not one out OF ten had this meas
ore in mind, so much for this claim.
We herewith give extracts from few
speeches delivered and the reasons
given for voting for the bill
Senator Wilson said that he had voted
for every antitrust bill that had ever
been presented and for political reasons
he was going to vote for this. Concen-
tration and Capitalization seemed to be
the prevailing idea and the combination
WAS hedged about with public senti
ment, Arkansas could raise weak
voice, but she could not control trusts.
He Admitted that they we're nothing
but evil, but we could not control them
by state power alone; they were beyond
us. In voting against these amend
ments and for the bill he was doing so
with shame and humiliation. The bin
WAS humbug and he admitted that he
was humbug in voting for 1t, He was
following public sentiments that was
the power behind the plstform-a power
that listens to no reason and laughs at
logic. They wanted something They
thought it WAS this bill, and he was in
favor of giving it to them. Politics in
this state had got down so pitifully low
in the past few years that there was no
longer a possibility Of reaching 1t from
an elevated plane; it was necessary, in
order to grapple with It, to get down to
the very mud stills In order to cope with
what, for want Of better name might
be fttingly designated Jeffdavisism.
The people were demanding jeff
davisism and he for one WAS in favor Of
rsmming 1t down their throsts until
they got 30 full Of 1t that their neigh.
would turn them out Of the church.
''Mr President-I desire only TO ut.
ter few sentences in explanation Of
my vote believe that the business OF
fire insurance companies Is 30 inter
woven with the common business OF the
country that the one cannot be stricken
down without seriously damaging the
other, and that 1t is better to be lenient
toward the guilty, il they are guilty,
than to do an injury to the innocent,
and that do not believe that this bill
is so perfect or sacred that, like holy
writ, nothing shall be added to it or
taken from it, SO | shall vote for the
amendment and when | shall have
done 30, and then voted for the bill. |
shall have bowed In obedience to the
wishes of the Democratic party Of Ark
ansas. do not consider this vote u
favor to the insurance companies, but
in the interest of the people who are
paying for protection by these com
panies

Band Concert Postponed.

The band concert which was to
been held at the Robinson park
last night was postponed on account
of the failure to get light on the sur
roundings. A break in the machinery
at the electric light plant was the
cause of the failure to have lights at
the park.
The band had taken its place in the
stand, and, although the weather was
threatening, a good crowd had as.
sembled to hear the music but were
disappointed when it was announced
that the concert would be postponed
until Sunday night.

MAKING SOWING BALLS.
Hardest Wood known Comes From tn
Central American Foresta.

Hardest Wood known Comes From the
Central American Forests.
The popularity of bowling has grown
to such an extent III all parts of the
United States that the manufacture Of
bowling balls, pins and alleys has be.
come an industry which gives employ.
ment to thousands of workment. While
the work of constructing the alleys does
not require any great amount of inge.
nuity 1t is In the shaping and modelling
of bowling balls that great skill and
careful workmanship are required.
Bowling balls are made almost exclu.
sively out of wood from the West
Indies and Central American countries
known as lignum-vltae, one of the hard
est woods known, says the Philadelphia
Press. There are several agents In
these countries buying up this wood all
the year round. 1t is shipped in the
rough for the factory in chunks about
four to six feet in length and varying
in diameter from six to twenty inches.
The logs are put into a specially con
structed cylinder and cut into blocks,
after which the edges are rounded with
band saw. The rough balls are then
turned over to expert mechanics, who,
with the aid of turning lathes, gradu.
ally plane them down to the required
size.
The balls are then smoothed with
a sandpaper turner. receive coat OF
shellac and oil and are complete, with
the exception of the finger holes, which
are frequently bored to measure.
