UNCOVERlNG AN ARKANSAS
 TRUST

The Arkansas Gazette in recent issue referring to the Arkansas anti trust law, proceeds to uncover a Little Rock lawyers trust which ap- pears to have been embodied in that famous and much talked of anti trust law.
 The Gazette says:
 Whatever may be said about the Arkansas antitrust law, that law is certainly one of the best things that ever happened for the legal profes- sion, or at least for some members of the legal profession who have shingles hanging out in Little Rock.
 The last legislature appropriated
The Mena weekly star., 1906-07-12

Antitrust suits are pending against a number of packers and against five Little Rock ice concerns. We have heard that suits are to be brought against a big oil company, the express companies and against another industry that is one of the most important in Arkansas. In case the state gets judgments in these cases of course the judgments can be loaded" with fees for the states antitrust lawyers. And of course Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton will get one-fourth of the amount of each judgment. Moreover, in about six months the legislature will meet again, and, considering the great and manifold blessings that the anti trust law has brought to the people of Arkansas, that body will naturally hasten to appropriate money for additional antitrust suits. The wholesale enforcement of this law may run various industries out of Arkansas, may throw many men out of employment, may make numerous store buildings, warehouses and dwellings vacant, but it will surely make prosperous times for the legal profession"
 And the question is what were the authors of this bill and the anti trust legislators doing when they made it possible for such trust to be formed ?
The Mena weekly star., 1906-07-12

Every progressive man in Arkan- sas should rejoice over the decision of the Supreme court of this state regarding the constitutionality of the road law which was assailed by
 the Cotton Belt Railroad. Had the railroad won in it's contention and
 caused this road law to be annulled
 it would have set the good roads movement of this state back many years, as it would have been six years at least before proper meas ures could have been adopted to pro- vide for the collection of a road tax with which to build good roads. It is encouraging to know that there was no dissenting voice among the

HIS LIFE LIVED IN DAYLIGHT

The bickerers of the world were given an example of American llb- erality at the dinner by the Amerl- can Society in London, yesterday, when Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and Citizen William J. Bryan indulged in good-natured banter on great political questions. Republican, Democrat, What-Not, all were Americans when they met on foreign soil and together joined in doing honor to the day we celebrate. Mr. Reid said with the kindest can dor:
 ''At home as citizen 1 have openly and squarely opposed him at every stage of his conspicuous career. I am reasonably sure that when l return home I shall continue to do the same.
 'As the official representative of the people without distinction as to party, am glad to welcome him here as a typical American, whose whole life has been lived in the day light and one whom such a great host of my countrymen have long trusted and honored. "Arkansas DaYnocrat

rlR. BRYAN ON ills CANDl-
 DACY.

Mir. Bryan knows that if the time were at hand for making the next Democratic nomination for Presi- dent he would certainly be nomin- ated. He also knows that unless some wholly unexpected thing happens or some rather extraordin- ary change in political sentiment takes place in the meantime, he will be just as sure of the nomination two years hence. But MT. Bryan also knows that nothing in politics IS absolutely a foregone conclusion, and for this reason his attitude to- ward the inducements he has thus far received must be regarded as broad minded and generous. He appreciates the compliments of cer- tain state conventions, but regards them only as compliments and re- leases those states from all obliga- tions. He rightly says that these inducements are in no sense binding for the conventions making them were not called with reference to Presidential politics.
 And it is natural, too, that Mr. Bryan should prefer absolute free dom to write and talk as he pleases. He enjoys that sort of thing. But it is amusing rather than thrilling that he should regard an acceptance of the probabilities of Presidential nomination as in any way restricting his speech or his written utterances. For when has Mr. Bryan permitted even a nomination in hand to curb him? In the convention of 1900 he insisted, against the judgment of the conveniotn, on giving promi- hence to the silver issue. He de- clared that he would not accept the nomination on platform that did not include what he then regarded as an essential plank.
 Mir. Bryan has been very inde- pendent. He will continue to be in- dependent. And it is well that he is. The people believe that he has grown. They have more confidence in him no,u than avar before Pnt just the same it is well enough that he should take free range and cover national issues up to date. The country is alive to needed reforms. It is studying the leaders to discover which will be best calculated to carry forward the good work under way Mir. Bryan may find no diff culty in qualifying for the Demo- cratic nomination.
