Under the kiug-Logan- Davis antitrust law all of the Old Line Fire Insurance Companies have been forced to leave the State. and in consequence there, of the large manufacturing establish ments and big stores are in q di lema. as where to secure their insurance It isaclaimed that the local companies are not fl naneially able te fully and safely carry this class ot business; but some plan will be bound, we dare say, whereby insurance will he had In fact. these large indus tries will go to the Old Line h. suranee Companies in tie ad- joining states for their insurance just the same, and about all the difference it will make will be to deprive Arkansas people of tEe employment they obtained from the Insurance Companies while doing business here. These old Line Companies rented buildings and employed a large force of
 
 people here when doing business in Arkansas, and now that they have been made to leave, all of this will be taken from our home people, without, in the least ben ehtting anybody else in the state, that we can see. Another thing is quite probable and that is since the Old Line Companies are out of the way the rates of insurance, by tht local compa- nies will Hkelybe higher, aad iu this way the people who are bound to insure their property willbemade ta suffer But then. We Will manage to get along somehow Arkansas is re soareefuI state and Is hard to down While itnow seems i'm probable to some, it iS neverthe- less fact that the state could survive without even King Lo- gan-DavIs, much less a few In suraHee companies

The same committee reported on the
Church street crbing and the report
was accepted.
The street committee was instructed
to have the steam road roller boiler
insured. It was voted the chairman
OF the board and street superintendent
settle for the inspection Of the above
boiler.
The matter Of selling the old water
department horse now out in pasture,
was referred to the street committee.
Il. p. Brown presented a bill of $780,

early in the month. The bill was re-
ferred to the street committee and the
city attorney.
A building permit was granted Airs.

Alderman Mckenzie stated that some
months ago the city contracted with
j. c. Crowley for $50 street signs, and
with II. A. Rugg for cedar posts on
which to place them. Mr.. Crowley Sc
cured the signs at once but Mr.. Rugg
had only Just furnished the posts. Mr.

SNAIL NUMBER OF EXECUTIONS.

SMALL NUMBER or EXECUTIONS.
Although capital punishment for the
crime ii murder il still retained ia a
great majority Of the states Of the com-
try. there has been a large falling Oft
in the percentage Of executions com
pared with the number Of murders and
homicides committed, The census bu-
reau is completing statistics which show
that since 1855 there have been 13f,951
murders and homieides in the United
States, with only 2,2s6 executions for
the commission Of these crimes. Just
what percentage Of the murderers ont
Of the t3i,o51 were ever brought 70
trial and also what percentage were
found guilty is not known. But it is
very likely that very many more than
were executed, for the ratio Of execu-
tions is less than two per cent Of the
total crimes. Here in Vermont a SINH.
lar situation IS found. During the last
dozen years, while there have been many
convictions for murder there has been
no enforcement Of the capital punish
ment law, the criminals having their
sentences committed to life imprison-
ment Or having been placed in insane
asylums.
Comparative figures for the year 1885
and the year 1904 show that in the
former year there were / ,s0s murders
and los legal executions, IN 1904,
there were s,4s2 murders and only 116
cases in which the death sentence was
carried out. OF the legal executions
last year, the ZIG were distributed as
follows. Alabama, 4 Arkansas, 81;

The causes assigned for the decrease
in the number Of executions compared
with the number of murders are, the
growing public sentiment against the
idea of capital punishment and the lax
enforcement of criminal laws in general
The diagnosis of the causes in Vermont
has been that the people are becoming
opposed to the capital punishment law
and that relying more or less on that
growing sentiment, lawyers have turned
bubbles into mountainous obstacles.
