HIS WORD Is GOOD

Bob Williams, of Hot Springs, says he contributed S25 of S45O campaign contribution made up by the sporting element of that city for Governor Davis on the latter's request and that one Smith deliv- cred the amount to Davis. Bob Williams has the reputation of telling the truth and of making his word good. Tho Democrat under takes 10 say his statement in this regard will be borne out by the facts. It is certainty that Bob Williams will have the goods for delivery when he is called on. This, however, is only part of what should be uncovered.
 Attorney General Rogers is on the right track and with the as- sistance of Bob Williams the whole truth should be brought to light and held to public attention. Turn on the light. How many more gentlemen will acknowledge that they contributed to the governors fund?-Arkansas Demo- crat.

Something in This.

Our contemporary on the chute. would have us believe that he is doing power of job work, and we are glad he is. But somehow, his continual cackling about it, re minds us of story of two hens, which ran about as follows: "There were two hens in the same yard; one with a flock of ton chickens, and the other with a single one. It was observed that the hen with the large brood was modest and unpre- tentious .whlle the hen with the single chicken dld an immense amount of strutting around. When asked why it was that she did not seem puffed up on account of her fine large flock while the other hen with the single one was proud and chesty, the hen replied that it kept her so busy scratching for some- thing for her chickens to eat that she had no time to think about herself.' The application of th,s may not be clear, but it is there if any one will take time to study 1t out.

Colon, Oct. 2.-Six hundred and fifty
laborers from Martinique, brought here
Friday On the French steamer Var

submit to vaccination, which is impera-

MAY NOT NEED HIN.
Decision That Makes 1t Look Dark for
Grain Inspector.

Through a decision by Judge Pollock
in the federal court yesterday, it seems
likely that the whole system of state
knocked out, and State Grain Inspector
J. w. Bradford and about 100 deputy
grain inspectors will lose their jobs.
Judge Pollock overruled the demur-
rer of the state in the suit fled by
Kansas City elevator companies and
grain men. and incidentally decided
that the classification of elevators
adopted by the state is. unconstitution-
al. The law provides that elevators of
over rs. 900 bushels. capacity are public
institutions, and can be entered by the
agents of the grain inspection depart
ment. All elevators of less than $4,000
bushels are private concerns. Judge
Pollock holds that this distinction can
not be made. This would seem to in
dicate that all elevators are private
concerns, and If so. the state grain in
spectlon department is put out of busi-
ness, for it will have nothing to i'll
spect.
The result of such a decision would
ne that the farmers of the state would
again be thrown upon the mercy of the
private inspectors and graders employ
ed by the Kansas City grain buying
concerns. The object of the law was to
protect farmers from unscrupulous
dealers.
The state demurred to the petition of
the Kansas City elevator companies on
the ground that the companies did not
have sufficient cause of action 1t was
this demurrer which Judge Pollock
overruled. The state grain department
was represented in the hearing by At
torney General c. C. Coleman.
