=, AZ, trade is unprecedented
keG lO[k. Iy active for the season.
Retail trade has broaden
ed out, with consequent increase of the
recorder demand from jobbers, and
there is rather more doing on spring
account. Higher prices for cotton have
helped Southern trade, inducing freer
marketing and enlarsing country trade
and collections. Good reports also
come from the central West and At
lantic coast points, where weather con-
ditions have improved. Something
like an unfavorable cross current is
visible in the Northwest, where ear
congestion and overflowing country ele-
vators are complained of as affecting
marketing Of wheat. The grain trade
generally also complains of the car
congestion causing losses, owing to eX-
port business being delayed. This
weeks reports of grain shipments, how
ever, show large exports Of both -four
and wheat from both coasts. Strikes
of grain handlers curtail shipments
from some Pacific ports. Reports of
labor scarcity are still well-nigh uni
versal, and the movement Of the cotton
crop, the shipments Of lumber, the out
puts Of coal, and the deliveries Of va
rious mills are still restricted from
this cause or by reason of inadequate
car supply. Voluntary wage increases
are reported in numerous lines, but ag.
itations for higher compensation are
numerous among railway employees

THE CHANCERY COURT.
The Docket Disposed OF And ADJOURNMENT
Had Thursday.

Chancery Court, which a d =
journed Thursday, did not con-
vene until Tuesday morning,
Judge G. T, Humphries not ar
irving from his home at Salem
until Monday afternoon. The
disposition made of the docket
would be Of but little interest to
the public.
One suit of interest, the case Of
John j. Heath against Isaac
Wiles, was decided Wednesday.
A large number Of Davidson
township citizens were interested
in the outcome of this suit.
Heath was a school director
whose term was to expire in May,
but at the regular school election
in that month his successor was
not elected, the vote for director
being a tie. Later, another ell
ection was held, and again the
vote was a tie. The matter was
t h g n brought before County
Judge Smith, who held that
Heath's term as director had eX-
pired, creating a vacancy, and
he appointed Isaac Wiles direct
or. This was the state Of the
case presented to Judge Hum
phries, who held that the APP.
pointment of Wiles as director
by the County Court is void, no
vacancy existing, and that Heath
is a lawful director until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified.
Not a divorce was granted dur"
ing the term, the one divorce suit
on the docket being continued.
Judge Humphries tells us that
this is the first term of court in
the entire district in which no di-
vorces have been granted.

Indians Practice Socialism.

The Indian is Socialist. He prob
ably would not recognize his senti-
ment by that name, but it is true,
nevertheless, and he represents social
ism in the fullest sense of the term,
says the Coffeyville (Kans.) Record.
The Indian believes in communal
rights. He does not believe in the
advancement OF one over the general.
He believes in the theory Of COM
munal ownership Of all necessities Of
life, even to the land itself. The In.
dian further believes that so long 90
there is anything to divide it should
be divided freely and equally. In his
natural state the Indian believes that
if you have food in your house and he
has none, you should divide. If there
corn in his crib and none in yours, it
is his duty to divide with you. II
this you refuse to do, you sre not his
friend.
These socialistic principles have
been imbedded in the Indian life as
long as there has been tribal existence
in America, and it is still extant 10

dian has not become fully natural.
