The fortune of the younger sister is
estimated at 100000, but she is
poor compared to Bertha, whose in
herited fortune amounts to S150000,-
600. Since her fathers death Bertha
has managed personally the big gun
works.
Tolstoi Criticises the Douma.
The famous Russian novelist and re-
former, Count TolStOi, in an inter
~ expressed disgust with the work
OF the dOunla. rrv-~-r1~:--ol1 41,a+ H.
proceedings show nothing new and that
the parliament is slavishly initiating
the west. He compares the douma to
the provincial regions where hats and
gowns, out of date in the cities, are
worn, saying the speeches are like
photographic reproductions of those in
foreign parliaments.
Suffragists Insist on Jail.
Miss Kenney and two other woman
suffragis who were arrested for Gre
ating disturbance at the home Of
Chancellor Asquith, We're surrendered
by their bail, and, upon their refusing
to promise not to do. it again, they were
committed to jail for six months after
refusing to furnish $3.50 bail each.
Rojestvensky Pleads Guilty.
The Russian admiral Rojestvensky,
addressing the court martial at Cron-
stadt, took all the blame for the sur
render of the gunboat Bedovi to the
Grill oh
ment of the law, which would be
death. He did this in the hope of saw
ing the officers who surrendered the
gunboat in order to save the life of
their wounded commander. It was said
by sailors of the Bedovi that Rojest-
| vensky's party had boarded the gun
boat with the intention of surrender
ing instead of trying to escape and
that their first act was to hoist the
white flag.
! Kaiser Has a Grandson.
The firing of 101 guns at noon at
Potsdam. Germany, July 4, made
known to the people that a son had
been born to the wife of Prince Fred
erick William Emperor William, who
was on his way to Trondhjem, received
the news by wireless The emperor
had decided that the child, if boy.
should be named Wilhelm and had set
the date of Aug. II for the christening.
All Germany rajoices.
Official Report BIames Jews.
Russian official reports of the Jewish
massacre at Bialystok lays the entire
blame upon the Jews, on whom is
placed the responsibility for long Sc
ries of violent attacks upon public Off
Gals. On the other hand, the report Of
the douma's committee says that no
race hatred exists in Bialystok and
that the massacre was the result of a
deliberate plot by the police.
Premier Goremykin made known his
intention of resigning Office, and it
was reported that he would be succeed
ed by Yermoloff. Announcement was
made of the governments intention of
proposing to the douma a plan to aid
the peasants by selling them arabic
land on easy terms. This scheme does
not meet with favor. The douma has
invalidated the election of eleven mem
bers from Tambov on the ground Of
official interference. This throws out
all the monarchists but one. Disaf-
lection in the army continues to
spread.

standpoint, every city ill the country makes illegal appropriations. Were We to apply the strict construction of the law to the actions of our own council we would find that that body very frequently commits itself to measures that are illegal. In fact, I regard the lump appropriations for the use of the board of public affairs as an illegal action, strictly speaking I do not believe there is any author ity of law for it. The law in the case expressly provides that what ever benefits the city receives must come as a result of advertising for the lowest and best bidder. Of course the provision that this applies to ap- populations of more +12n SS00 does not really affect the spirit of the mat ter, for I believe that technicalities arc violated here as elsewhere in the conduct of the city government.
 ''I am not taking issue, as stated be- fore, with the city attorney in his opinion as to the illegality of this ap- propriation, fer strictly speaking he is right in his premises.
 '.But in this as in the actions in the board of public affairs and else where in our city governments af- fairs, We must rise above the petty viewpoint of technicality and got up on the hiaher ground of public good, for there come times in the affairs of every municipality when pubic veal should override all other consilera. tions

He eX- plained the changes which in his judgment would make the bill valid and effective, and then he declared his unalterable hostility to any pro- vision for the holding up by the fed eral circuit court of rate fixed py the commission q cannot accept it, said the distinguished democratic lawyer from Maryland. ''1n my Juds- nlent it blights and blasts the whole iBtendment of the act; and l want to say right here that rather than leave those words in the bill in the phrase o7oey in which they are now, would rather that the bill would not pass; I would rather that you would repeal all existing legislation; I would rath- CT abolish the interstate commerce commission, tear down the whole in firm and feeble structure, and let the railroads drive in triumph over it's ruins.'
 More recently Mr. Bailey took the feor. On the suspension by interlo. eutcry restraining order Of an inter- state commerce commission rate he sided with. Mr RaXner and against Mr. Cplberson. He insisted that con gross has the power to limit restrain ing orders issued by courts which it has created But he explained that he isn't denying at all the power Of judicial review vested in the courts CT complaining of it. The distinguish ed democratic lawyer from Texas 91Ves the supreme court clean bill of health; in the lesser federal courts il appears there are judges who do not command Mir. Bailey's confidence.

SHOULD TEHNlCALITIES OF LAW
 OVERRIDE THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC?

Perhaps no man in all the city of Pine Bluff is better qualified to speak of municipal affairs than Hon. D. C.. Bell, erstwhile mayor and long lden- tfied with this city's public matters. II. addition to the advantage of long years of experience, MT. Bell is close student; he goes to the bottom of his themes, and posts himself thor oughly on the groundwork of every proposition submitted to him. This is why Mr. Bells opinions are always worth something. His high position in social and financial circles here makes these opinions eagerly sought and readily digested by the public generally.
 We cannot afford, said Mr. Bell to a Graphic reporter, in an interview day CT two ago, "tO quibble over technicalities in the conduct of mu- nicipal corporation where technicali- ties stand in the way of our progress. The objections raised by some to the appropriation for advertising this city's resources, and thus taking an advanced step in the matter of mak- ing our city q live Cne, is, to my notion ill-advised.'
 Mr. Bell. continuing, stated that he had no desire to be placed in an attitude Of antagonizine the views of the opponents of the measnre, grant ing freely that they are conscientious oad also that the opinion handed .aesa hv the city attorney may be founded apon the strictast eonstrae- tiaa ef tlfe letter of fhe law.

allowed him s15, which was paid This is but one out of many similar instances that might be cited, show ing how the city very frequently makes these illegal appropriations.
 'No, there is not a city ir Arkansas, or for that matter any other state, to- day, in which the city council does hct make appropriations which are not in accordance with the strictest construction of the law. We all grant that they are necessary at times, even though illegal. Here as else. where, the city council must rise above technicalities and act for the general good of the public, the public veal, And l do not believe that any cne will object to the council appro priating this money for advertisinp the city save perhaps those may ob iect 10 t through some personal pre- iudice."
