HE AMROREE

Alr. Lawson's picturesque but tithy description of the eight years ot frenzied finance between 1896 and 191f should make an interesting paragraph of history for readers in the future
 Tt is a span of years, hesays "crowded thick" with events, for it is q period of the greatest financial "janborec" the world has ever seen. when American dnancierS, elutted, gorged aud trenzied with millions, in the throes oftheir golden delirinm vied with one another ia de- Bauching the industries of the country, perverting the proud and untarnishcd institutions of an honorable commerce into wantons of the stock market. Within this period United States Steel was launched, and Merean- tile Marine, and United States Realty; the shipbuilding hag be- gan her brief, disastrous. for tune telling career; American To bacco and the Massachusetts Gas Companies were spawned, and the Louisville and Nashville corner startled the world by its revelation of jobbery in high places .
 Though highly colored, this eontemporaneous picture is in teresting-pafticuiarly interest. ing tors who have lived through tile jamboree and are wondering what kind of headaches the pro motors are going to have. Hap. pily the headaches will not be inflicted upon the innocent. The public and general business went in for no excess and will not sui fer the reaction, and they are checr(ully prepared to stand by and watch guilty monopoly and crooked finance take their medi eiac-Repablie.

QUADREXNIAL LEGISLATURES

M, Hurst has introduced in the house a joint resolution pro posing an amendment to the constitution providing that members of the legislature shall be elected every fourth year and that sessions of the legislature be held quadrennially.
 If NIT. flurst' $ resolution shall be adopted and its question shall be submitted to the people legislators who may have thought the state needs their services every two years will doubtless be both surprised and grieved to learn how many of the citizens of Arkansas favor having a session of the lesisla- tare only once in four years.
 It Is true that in some states the legislature meets every year. and ii the great majority of states 1t meets every two years. Butunder the new constitution of Alabama the legislature meets only every four wears; under the new constitution of Mississippi the legislature meets in regular session only every four years. bat provision is made for the holding ot extra sessions two years after the holding of the regular sessions.
 We may be making rash statement, but We don believe the people of Arkansas would march on the capitol and hang our present legislators to tcle- phone poles if our present legis- lators should suiImit 10 the peo- pie constitutional amendment froviding that elections for members of the general assem- hly and for state officers, from governor down, shall be held only onee in four years. The ex. seutive's constitu1ional right to call an extra session could be tised whenever I meeting of the general assembly became imper- ative This thing of having a continuous political perform anee in Arkansas no doubt aids the movement for less frequent if hieger doses. p-Gazette.

the Pfe-iIea.' alad aas not been as heavy as the nation could deslre. The Republican Governor of Iowa and the Bemocratic Governor of Minnesotameton common grounds when they reached this question. just as it seems ATr. Bryan and President Roosevelt did at the twenty-minute conference lately beId between these two great Americans.
 This ..industrially revolutionary sentiment in the West js iudulged in while chat portion of the conn |try k in the midst of great mater iat prosperity. IL Is therefore at variance with the preconceiyable theory among the wealthy that the masses will continue contented and ] tolerant of conditions regarding the distribution of products pro yjded they are kept well employed at wages yielding i livelihood. Il comes IS d surprise, and is disturb l ing and upsetting the theory that has thus far maintained conditions giving being and development to mouopolies.
 The Wall Street view that the people are satisfied when reason ably employed and compensated is safe aud sound only when a popu- lar intelligence and enlightenment are of low order, where truth is denied circulation and where facts as to the distribution of wealth are locked up in the breasts of the few who absorb the surplus over the bare necessities of life. In these days of public education and the dissemination of facts through the newspapers it is easily seen by the masses that much wealth is distrib uted regardless of justice. The in. cessant tapping tt this question by free discussion, by magazine arti. eIes and by the press. has termi- mated in ripening ia the West al least, that predisposition of society to receive sentiments that hereto fore appeared to knock hopeiessly for recognition. Once imbued with these sentiments there i. straightway an interrogation to prosperity itself concerning tb, distribution of surplus over living expenses. When prosperity can not give satisfactory answer i serves no longer to give quiet and contentment to the people.
 According to present views in the West 1t is d question of compe tjdon or socialism. The more rad icaI declare that competition is suppressed by monopoly, so i would seem that this section se lately Plunging into the arms oI  Republication Is now ready to fal wholly into the lap of the socialist ic movement.-Conmercial-Ap D peal.

Legislators are deeeiving na one but themselves when they argue the necessity of extending the legislative session, on ae- count of the States growth. They are only voting to extend the session for the six dollars per day that they get from the people and there is no need for them to claim otherwise. Il their pay was stopped they woaidn stay III Little Rock 30 minutes. There Is no demand for much new legislation at this time, and the appropriation bills should have been already finished up and passed. Itis al ways known just what dppro- priations are to be provided for and these can be made at the be ginning of the session as well as at any other time This thing of uselessly exPendiRg an S1eo.= GOO in extending the legislative session Is growing monotonoas 10 the people and should be stopped.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, July 7.-Today's transac-
tons in stocks yielded no larger tofal
of sales than yesterday. There was
violent congestion in one or two
stocks, although Reading and Union
Pacific still held a very conspicuous
place in the trading. Reading eX-
tended its record price. as it has each
day for some time past. and there
zeemed no limit 70 the speculative
eonfideac of those who have advanc-
ed the stock.
Union Pacific was cTbjected to pro-
fit taking sales and was thus held in
check, in spite of the good returns
of net earnings for May made by the
,~.fmau Pa sizes - offaot this
profit taking there was some diversion
of professional support to other quar-
ters of the m9rket and this gave tho
.aap.k!st appearance of son. 1whal
greater breadth than that of yesterday
Some CT the low priced dividend
paying railroad stocks were brough;
into activity. The coalers had the adj
vantage of the figures of anthracite
output for June, showing a well sus-
tanned volume. Pennsylvania and the
Fries were both strong.
There was little news bearing OF
values or on the movement of prices
the occasional advances beinY clearly
due to vagaries of speculative senti-
ment as much as anything else. The
report of the weeks currency move
m,ent did not indicate Emporium
changes in the cash item of the banks
and not much attention was paid &c
it, An interesting development was
the large increase in the demand FOL

come from stock commission houses
and was supposed to be incident to the
present activity in the stock marke
or to prospective operation there. The

but there was no important change IL
