Prosecuting Attorney Rhotoa. of Pulaski county, promises to accomodate the indicted Legisla- tors by giving them an carly trial We are anxious for these trials to take place If the pee pie have been sending men to the General Assembly as their repre- sentatiyeS who have been giving and taking brihes, right and left, the sooner they find it out the better, and if the men who are indicted are the victims of an outrageous and infamous con spiraey, of course 1t ought to be revealed at the earliest possible moment Turn on the light, and let 1t be bright one and pene- trate the darkest reeesSes where 1t Is possible for corruption to hide away.

Itis humiliating to every good citizen of Arkansas to know that six of her Representatives have already been indicted for bribery, while it is currently re- ported that the half has not been told. The people are some what to blame for this state of affairs, themselves. They are not careful enough in selecting their representatives. As gen eral thing they reward some ambitious "pirooter" with the office without ever applying the test, "is he capable. is he hon est" Sometimes the best of us might be deceived, but if we would give more time and thought to the selection of q proper man to represent us, the chances are that fewer law breakers would be elevated to the position of lawmakers.

SMITHS STAY MARRIED..
Court Ovcrrules Referees Report in Favor
OF Annulment.

Supreme Court Justice Davis refused
yesterday to confirm the report of referee
which rec ommended that a decree be
granted to Ruth ". B. Smith. annulling her
marriage TO Edward j, Smith.
The referee found that the divorce OBJ
tanned in Michigan by smiths first wife
was not valid in this State on the ground
that both parties to tho divorce suit were
residents Of New York and not of Michigan
Smith himself was a voluntary witness at
the hearings before the referee and test
fed a. to the residence of himself and his
first wife. They came here from Michigan
he said. shortly after their marriage.
Justice Davis remarks that the obvious
compliance" OF Smith in acting as wit.
ness is too forciby suggestive of possi-
BILE agreement to get divorce by short cut
to entitIe his testimony to any credence."
On the other hand. apart from Smiths
own testimony, there is nothing, saws
Justice Davis, TO show that the Michigan
decree was not perfectly regular. and
therefore il invalidates the present suit for
annulment.

MARIE HiLL'S RECITAL.
The English VIoilnist Gives Second EN-
hibitIon OF Her brilliant Technics.

Marie Hall, the English violinist, gave
her fr7t recital at Carnegie Hall yesterday
afternoon. This entertainment, like her
concert with orchestra, furnished ground
for regret that she accomplished so much
only 10 fail at the crucial point, Her tech
mic is of high order. Her tone is sweet
and penetrating. Her playing is in gem
eral interesting. and it discloses the pres
enoe Of a genuine violin talent.
But it cannot he said Of her at present
that she displays much insight or musical
feeling. No doubt this is in some cases
due To her teacher. Her performance Of
Coreh's la Fola," for example, betrayed
a wofu Ignorance OF the traditions Of a
great :. hopl of violin music. The reading
was radically incorrect in the bowings and
nuan, eS.
She played Bachs f major sonata yes
terday, and in this her style was exceed
insly small. In Bruch's G minor concerto
she treated the audience to the best qualities
Of her tone and technic. but the interpre-
tation was dead and heartless A word
should be sIid in all justice to Hamilton
Harty, her accompanist A poet has told
MS that there ore worse things waiting
for man than death at the door Of life the

lnents are among them.
