Mr.. R. w. Kent, ex-president of the
Southern Baseball league. was in the
city last night and left on the morn
ing train. In an interview he stated
that as long as Pine Bluff had as fine
lot of ball players as it now has,
all the other league teams need not
loose money on who will win the pen
nant.
In fact" he said. Mr. Blackburn
has succeeded in getting men who
have no business in this league, but
ought to be playing in the larger
leagues. Take Sample. He is one of
the best ball players | know. Me-
Diyit and Dawkins. the third baseman,
and your short-stop. Venerable. and
Capt. Henneger. are men of fine base
ball ability They understand the
game and always will.
What do you think OF Blackburn
as manager" asked the reporter.
We'll, always said that George
would succeed in ball playing. He
is a man of exceptionally fine ball
judgment He has superior gift OF
developing men. and the boys always
like him. He is firm and has the

currency committee intends to rein
troduce his asset currency bill. What
ever bill may be agreed on by the
senate finance committee will not get
through the house committee on
banking and currency without being
amended in such way as to author
ize the issuance OF asset currency
notes. The promoters OF the asset
currency propaganda believe that in
this way they will stand show OF
getting the asset currency feature
grated ON the bill in conference and
that is about the only way they ex

he has faith in his subject, faita in

Instead of Gov. Davis having been
sustained by an investigation OF the
convict farm purchase, he has been
turned down all along the line. He
swore in his own evidence that there
had been no fraud or corruption prac-
ticed in the purchase and the general
trend of the testimony has been to
the effect that. everything considered,
the state has made a good investment.
In editorialiy discussing the matter
the Little Rock Gazette very sensibly
says: This investigation has shown
that the Cummins place is fine farm.
so far as soil and prolutciveness are
concerned. 1t has shown that many
practical farmers object to Johnson
grass, but generally it is admitted that
this grass is not so great disadvan-
tage where convict labor is available.
From the testimony so far offered
we doubt whether a purchaser other
than the state could have been found
who would have given $4,000 for the
Cummins place. As to this last. how
ever, it should be remembered that
the state is not paying cash. nor part
cash and giving notes for the remain
der. The Cummins place is to be paid
for out of the. proceeds of convict Ia
Dor. without any agreement that GER
tain amounts are to be paid by certain
days.

RAISE passed the bill by
IN SALARY Senator Caldwell rails
ing the salary of the
Judge OF Jefferson county. from 81 800
to 2,40O a year and it passed by an
almost unanimous vote. 1t is now in
the house and awaits the endorsement
st the representatives of Jefferson
county for it to pass the house, after
which it would no doubt become a law,
ax there is no serious doubt about the
governors opposing it.
When the bill was first presented
to Senator Caldwell to bring up in
the senate. the Graphic made mention
Of the fact setting forth the. grounds
upon which the increase of 5000 a year
in the salary was asked. 1t was stat
cd that the duties of the Judge were

amount equal to the amount Of his

the duties required will not attract
to the Office the best qualified men for
the position of county Judge because
the best qualified men can earn more

questions for him to determine. and
a lawyer who is competen, for coun-
ty Judge is worth more than $l,So0,

However before the house approves
the senate bill il should be SO amend
ed that it will not leave il, as al pres
ent, optional with the county judge
to devote all or only portion of his

EXTENT OF The Cleveland
THE Plain Dealer makes
TRUST EVIL some very interest
ing comments and
comparisons in discussing the trust
evil It saws that the late house OF
representatives passed Mr. Little
fields antitrust bill with hurrah
we'll knowing that the senate could
be depended ON to kill it or render
it innocuous. The author of the bill,
in the course Of his argument, made
use of some facts which showed
clearly the modern industrial ten
dency. Mr.. Littlefield vouches for the
reliability OF the figures. which were
prepared by the congressional infor-
nation bureau, and which appear in
the Congressional Record. They in
clude a list OF the industrial trusts
existing in this country on January
last. Mr., Littlefeld calls it the
most complete list ever published:
Number Of trusts. 80. 453
Common stock ....... $5,97o,S53' 'S9o
Preferred stock ....... 2,091 ,5O8, 1920
Bonds ..... 1,165774,5
Total capitaliza tion. SO, ,231 1868
Now. by the census OF 1900. the en-
tire actual apital in land. buildings,
machinery. material and cash en-
gagged in manufacturing in this coun-
try I'M that census year was $9,S74.-
664,OS7 1t is estimated that by last
January these figures had reached
SIC. 500 900 900. In other words. we
now have capitalization alone of
monopolistic combines practically
equal to the actual value of all the
industrial institutions Of the country,
though only about half of them are in
the trusts.

Revival Services.

As announced last week he would
do Rev. R. &. McLees, Svnodical
evangelist of South Carolina, began
series of revival meetings at the
Presbyterian church Sunday morn
ing. Services have been held every
afternoon and evening throughout
the week. Preaching in the after
noon at half past three and at a
quarter to eight in the evening. The
attendance has been very good, es-
pecially at night, and the congrega-
tions increase in size at each service.
Those who have not attended these
meetings have been the losers. They
have been singularly sweet and in
teresting and must be productive Of
good. Mr.. McLees is a man of re-
markable gifts, a preacher of great
power. His sermons are free from
sensation and full of the sweetness
and tenderness found in the Gospel
story Beautiful in thought, apt in
illustration, logical in reasoning,
powerful in expression, convincing i'll
argument, one is not often privi-
legged to listen to such preaching OF
the Word. 1t is an intellectualfeast,
a spiritual uplift to hear Mr.. McLees
and the community has cause to
thank God for sending him among us.

last winter asenCs were in different parts
of the world mailing purchases for this
depar Gment. These men had instructions
to buy the finest specimens obtainable
regardless of cost. AS a result Mr.. Sau-
telle today possesses one of the largest
and finest collections of representative
members of the equine family that wealth
can secure, and it is doubtful if it's like
was ever placed upon public exhibition
before. There are droves OF tiny Shet-
land ponies, Welsh and native ponies,
sturdy, powerful Normans. plump West-
ern and Canadian draughts, coquettish
Arabian stations, English-bred long dis
lance jumpers, wild running Roman
chariot flyers, feet-footed Kentucky run
ners, and many Other thoroughbreds to
be found only with the Sautelle shows.
Ladies and children are especially invited
to visit this grand display of horse flesh,
which they may safely do without es-
