There's no rubbing 1t out. That man Haskell of the Arkansas Gag ette is a genuine humorist. He wants the attorney-genera to bring suit against the country newspaper trust, and figures it out that the state will derive enough revenue in fines from this source to complete the new state house. But the attorney-general should try the new antitrust law on something easy first. These cor pulent trust magnates of the press association are going to spend their millions in q manner calculated to corrupt every court in the land when they are brought to trial.

In discussing the proposed mar riage and divorce law now before the legislature, the Pocahontas Star says speedy marriages should be prohibited, and that a man should be compelled to court his sweetheart at leaat a year before being permitted to marry her. This looks to us like a sinister scheme to prohibit widows and widoWers from marrying.

Would Change Assessment Laws

Senator McFerrin has introduce ed q bill in the legislature to so amend the present assessment laws and to abolish county boards of equalization and to establish town ship boards, to be composed of the assessor and the justices of the peace in each township, who are authorized to take up the assess ments, assesses property, etc. The justices are required to meet with the assessor, on receiving notice from him, and in case the taxpay- CTS fail to comply with the law as to making returns on property for taxation, under the laws now in force, the justices are to visit the property and assess the same. The justices of the peace are to be paid S2 per day while actually engaged in these duties. Taxpayers are authorized to appeal to the county courts in case they consider them selves aggrieved by the the assess ments so made.

we mentioned the fact that Broth CT Woods was too ready to criti- else any suggested reforms com ing from Republican source. and charges Us with having made no effort whatever to defeat Repub- lican for governor of Arkansas in the last September election. ;
 We are not surprised at this, however, for according to the News idea of supporting the ticket Especially if Jeff Davis name happens to be on the ticket a newspaper must lgeore the real purpose for which q newspaper is supposed to be published-th the dis semination of news-and devote it's entire contents 10 lambasting and battlewhan2ing the opposition with any and all kind of state ments and assertions, regardless of reason, facts. figures or logic, and to praise your party leaders and sanction their every word and deed regardless of it's efeet-eith- CT upon the welfare of the coun- try, the success of the party, or the standing of the paper, individ- ualIy.
 The Journals idea of newspa- per's duty to it's readers, the peo- pie who pay their money for the priyiIedge of reading it's contents, Is to publish news and give both sides of all questions and allow its readers to form their own con- clusions-and not try to force up- on them the individual ideas and opinions of it's editor. Of course the editor has right and 1t is his  duty, to discuss, editorially, any and all questions of public interest, but he should do so in a gentle manly manner, and not as if he thought all those who differed from him were fit subjects for an insane asylum.
 But our brothers assertion that The Journal did not support the Democratic ticket in the last elec- tion does us a rank injustice, as the files of The Journal will show. In fact, we, for the time being, so far forgot and ignored one of the cardinal virtues and time-honored customs of the party that we ac- tually violated all precedent, and not only voted for, but advocated the election of one of the party nominees for third term. No other paper in the county made any fight for the ticket, and The Journal did so over the protest of some of the oldest and best Demo- crats in the county.
 But the Sharp County Record sums up the situation in nutshell,

 The classification to be made by the warehouseman will be an element of safety. but no one will be bound to ac- cept the classification. Any person in- terested may examine any bale of stor- ed cotton. and may for himself deter mine the accuracy of the classification. Private capital will readily provide the necessary warehouses needed. The State need be at no expense whatever.
 Legislation will be needed to regu- late the conduct of those persons who open warehouses, to provide for and fix the liability upon bonds, and to make the storage of cotton so safe that receipts shall be valuable as securities for our people. Proper provisions will also be needed to protect the rights of those who may have liens upon cotton. These, however, are matters of detail, and can be easily provided for.

Proposed Plans for Increasfpg the
 Price of Cotton.
 There are abundant and strong req sons whiy the cotton acreage of the South should be reduced in 1905. The one that appeals most to the farmer is the enhancement fthe price of the staple that win inevitably follow a gen. erai movement to curtail the acreage. If the deep determination to reduce the acreage Is apparent early enough in the season the increase in price will affect not only the 1905 crop. but to some ex- tent that portion of the 1904 crop that Is still unsold..-
 would not advise an extreme course, but moderate reduction. Experience in- dicates that 1t is not practicable to ef- feet an enormous reduction, say of ga per cent. as the result of voluntary ac- tion. If so great a reduction were pro- claimed as the policy of Southern far mers it would make it more difficult for them to stand together than if a mode- rate reduction of say IS, or even 20 per cent were agreed upon. For the ex- pected high price under a policy of an immense reduction in acreage would de- feat the end in view, and be a tempta- ton for the planting of a large acreage by those farmers who do not enter into an agreement to plant less cotton.
 However, 1t may be best to follow the course urged by the President of the Southern Cotton Growers Protective Association, and for individuals deter mined on reduction to plan for a twen- ty-five per cent reduction of the cotton acreage under their control. If a third of the cotton farmers would adopt this policy 1t would mean a reduction of the total cotton acreage of about 8 per cent. Natural causes, such as the pres ent low price of cotton and high price of mules acting on those farmers who would not willingly cut down their acreage, may be expected to effect a moderate reduction, say an amount to another 6 per cent of the total acre. age in cotton in 1904.
 If the aggregate of these voluntary and involuntary decreasements should amount as assumed to about 16 per cent, it would practically insure a profitable price next fall for a reason ably good crop. say 10,500,000 bales or s4 per cent. of the 1904 acreage.
 However, it is doubtful, whether with an immense reserve of cotton carried over from 1904, buyers would pay as much as ten cents next fall for even a crop as small as 1O,500,000 bales. Tn other words it may be ques- tfohed whether a 16 per cent reduction in acreage would be sufficient to in- sure a price of ten cents unless &C., among farmers to hold next fall for that price.
 A reduction fin acreage is the first the next fall but this alone is not suffi-
