 Be it Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Arkan . sas:

Penitentary May Be Moved.

Shall the Arkansas Peniten- tiary be removed from Little Rock and Lincoln county to Washington county? It is now believed that the penitentiary board will soon be asked to an l. swer that question. For several days past data has been secured to lay before the board, to show why the penitentiary should be removed to Western Arka nsas. It is pointed out, from the rec- ords, that out of the 800 men in the prison the last two years, more than 100 have died. A large number of these died from malarial troubles, many from consumption, and not few from stomach troubles. Two were shot while attempting to escape and these do not enter into the computation. Those interesting themselves in the movement de- clare that from a humane stand point, the penitentiary should be moved to Northwestern Arkan- sas, and the convicts put to work at the most healthful pursuits possible. It is suggested that the penitentiary board, while it would have no power to purchase land, could easily lease large apple orchard and give every man healthy work, and pleasant work as well.
 At an early date the data gathered will be presented to the penitentiary board. Prominent men are working on the matter and hope to accomplish some- thing.

Baron and Baroness Spend Hon eynoon ill Eureka Springs.

Baron and Baroness Spend Hon.
 eymoon ill Eureka Springs.
 At the Crescent hotel in Eure- ka Springs this week a Baron and Baroness are spending their honeymoon. Until Saturday the Baroness was Miss Helen Nichol. son, of Joplin, Missouri. Baron Rglintzki, the groom, was once a favorite lieutenant in Emperor Williams own regiment, the First Guard Field artillery.
 The Baron and his bride ar- rived in Eureka Springs Sunday morning. They will spend this week here but their real honey- moon will not begin until July when they will leave for Europe. They will then be tho guests of Countess von Rittberg of Lippe- Detmold at the kaiser's maneu- vers 10 be l,eld at Lippe- Detmold. After the maneuvers they will spend the autumn at the baron's country home at Beeskow. Trips will be made to Rome and along the Rhine.
 The Baron von Zglintzki was forced to leave the German army because of a duel in which he en- gagged. Of this duel the baron says he is in honor bound not to talk.
 Just at present the baron is engaged in making himself fa- miIiar with the business of min. ing. He started to work in the Joplin mines as common shov- eler, and the check he received for his first week work from his prospective father. n.law was for S11.88. While engaged in this work the baron and other miners became great friends.
 "Shoveling is baastly hard work and my back was nearly broken down in that coal shaft, !" said the baron in relating rem- inisences of the first week as a miner. "I like the mill much more."
 The second week of Baron won Zglintzki's labors at Mir. Nichol- sons mine, the Engineer Zinc Company, was inthe mine mill He began as jig helper. His duties were to bounce up and down on springing board, jerk. ing a jig g-box of ore up and down in the process of washing before milling. As milling is the most intricate portion of mining Baron von Zglinitzki will spend, upon his return from Europe, at least two additional months in that work. The baron is mining te show his parents-in Jaw and the country that he is a real, deserv. ing member of the nobility. .-Eu reka Springs Flashlight.

FRUIT GROWING RE-
 CURES INTELLIGENCE.

| XOuI&V lN 16kI VkNVk
 Some writer figured year ol
 two since that peach trees hac
 been planted so numerously ir
 the Southwest that it would be z physical inpossibility, when these
 trees reached the bearing age, te
 transport the fruit to the market
 In expressing that opinion the
 writer forgot the old adage
 "There's many slip twixt the cup and the lip." The writer has in mind an orchard not a thous and miles from here and of a size that would be called large even in this day of big things, in which D per cent of the peach trees died the first year and this was not the fault of the trees, but of the one man who planted with out experience and cared fo1 them as if they were a hay field
 Perhaps this is rather an excep- tional case, but it is nevertheless surprising the number of trees that are lost the first year entirely on account of lack of care Here is the first slip.
 But assuming that the trees grow off all right there are other ''slips" awaiting the unwary and inexperienced. Diseases and in sects are ever ready to get all they need out of an orchard. Al first, indeed, there is comparative freedom from these troubles, but they multiply in time and then "eternal vigilance is the price oi liberty" and the price of suo- cess. The "Brown Rot,' for in- stance, is one of the diseases that you scarcely notice at first but which increases with the age of the orchard and with favorable seasons. Then there is the ever present borer and the San Jose scale which has not troubled the Southwest much yet but which has played the everlasting mis- chief in some sections of the country. And then come, occa- sionally, unfavorable seasons, like the present one in the south ern half or two- thirds of this state [Texas]. Then the new orchardist fails to plan properly for the picking, packing and shipping and possibly gets "skinned" by some commission merchant. This caps the climax of all other troubles and many who start out bravely get dis gusted with the whole business and go back to the old crops and the old ways.
 This is not written in discour- agement of fruit growing, but rather to emphasize the need of experience and accurate know ledge along the line. We read occasionally, of the immense amount of money made out of fruit on small area. The writ CT has in mind a man who, in one year, sold S40,0O0 dollars worth of peaches from 40 acres. Such successes are always heralded far and wide, but the numerous failures are not recorded. The fact is that the fruit business has great possibjli ties in it for tre- mendous gain and lamentable failures. There are chances in il for 1000 per cent profit; likewise chances for loosing everything The only way to succeed is to learn the business from the ground up and keep the brain as busy or buster than the hands. Of the millions of trees that are planted only a small per cent produce salable fruit; the rest go by the board. The fruit business is a good business, but it requires intelligence to run it.-(Dallas Texas) Farm and Ranch.

fleets upon the living human

body.
 "We have temperance senti- ment enough in this country, such as it is. The brewer, distill- CT, drinker and drunkard all alike believe in temperance, none of them believe in intemperance, and that is temperance senti- ment. The trouble is that it is not intelligent, up.to-date or scientific sentiment.
 "The question with scientific men is not distinctively one of beer or whiskey, but the ques- ton of alcohol, wherever alcohol may be found. What is this thing we call alcohol? Is it good or bad in it's nature? Does it's character, not it's abuse, so- called, adequately account for the badness of it's fruitage? Let me refer to a natable fact. In Europe they had an inter-na- tional temperance congress. It started out a few years ago to discuss the abuse Of beer and whisky-how to dispose of such abuse. Quite recently that con- gress changed it's name to the International Anti Alcohol Con- gress, which is now discussing the inherent badness of alcohol how to dispose of it's use for beverage purposes.
 "Just as long as the people, the masses, consider liquor as good in it's nature and it's abuse only bad, will they go on drink ing it in spite of any restriction you may advise, and just so long will voters and legislators go on temporizing with the traffic leg islatively. I would not have a whit less of prohibitory legisla- ton, but a thousand fold more of fundamental, educational work by which to sustain such legisla- tion.
 "Dr. Hadley, president of Yale university, recently said: 'As soon as the common people get into their possession the principal facts touching the nature of al- coho;, they will drive every sa- loon out of the country To inn part that necessary knowledge is consequently the first duty of the hour-not the last. But such a process implies education, scien- tific education, and that of a ma jority of voters. Such education is only possible ultimately through the medium of the pub- lie school system where scien- tific instruction can be adequate ly given, and where the majori- ty of the future voters are to be found.
 "The memorable logic of Dr. Hadley's statement, then, is that the faithful, systematic, progress sive, scientific teaching concern ing the nature and consequent effect of alcohol, beginning with primary grades and continuing through the habit forming period of the intern. .ediate to the high school, is essential to the ulti- mate and permanent overthrow of the drink habit and traffic in this country,

A DebatabIe Question.

The Chattanooga, Tennessee, Times
is authority for the statement that:
Texas wants Senator Culberson nom
mated for president by the Democratic
convention" Doubtless there is a
very strong feeling in Texas for the
nomination of Senator Culberson, but
whether it is widespread enough to
Insure him the support of the dele.
gates from other states that will not
be elected for a year to come, is a de-
batable question. In these stirring
times a month often upsets political
calculations, and the events of a year
may entirely change the mind Of Dem
ocrats as to the policy of nominating
a candidate that may now appear to
be desirable. Senator Culberson is
well fitted to fill any position, and If
the Democracy should select him as
their candidate there would be no
doubt of his ability and his honesty
Of purpose in carrying forward the
peoples will. But in case there is q
general demand from the southern
states to name the candidate, nearly
every state will present a favorite

consideration, ard the question will

A Square Deal.
Square

In politics the boosted square
deal is a good deal of a myth, espe-
cially when the cards are dealt by Re-
publican politicians. AS the money Of
the trusts and corporations has been
lavishly contributed for Republican
campaign funds to purchase enough
votes to make a majority in close
states and congressional districts, it is
impossible to expect a square deal
from such a source. All this talk,
therefore, of the people getting a
square deal is a fraud, a delusion and
a snare, to close the eyes of the voters
to the actual state of political Affairs
There certainly should be a square
deal between the railroad corporations
and the people, but so far all that has
been accomplished has come through
the action of state legislatures in re-
ducing passenger rates, for the result
of the national legislation has been of
no direct advantage to the public, but
seems satisfactory to the corpora
tions.
There should certainly be a square
dOot OStNSCh thC pCOPiO ohu IA0
trusts, but the Republican congress
has absolutely refused to enact any
remedial legislation. The trusts arc
VIGOROUSLY protected by the tariff and
the Republican congress refused to
ever consider bills that proposed to
cut down the most prohibitive and
m~onopolistic schedules, even those
exceeding 100 per cent.
There certainly should be a square
deal between labor and capital, but as
far as national legislation is concerned
the Republicans have refused to pass
any laws labor has asked for, and
have p~ersistently refused to repeal, or
amend, the laws that protect capital in
plundering the many for the benefit
of the few.
There certainly should be a square
deal for the farmers and planters
whose profits are ~precarious and sub
ject to all the vicissitude of heat and
cold, draught and flood, and can least
withstand the rapacity of corporations
which charge all the traffic will bear.
For the past year the price of wheat,
cotton and some other agricultural
products has been below the cost of
production, considering that on an
average all the farmer buys has adj
vanced in price over SO per cent.
mainly because the tariff protects the
trusts from competition. Such monop-
oily the Republican leaders defend,
and are repaid by enormous campaign
contributions by the trusts and cor.
porations for perpetuating themselves
in power.
AS long as these Republican policies
are allowed to continue, it is prepos-
ferrous to say the people are getting .
square deal.

WHEAT SPECULATION.
Price for the Cereal 10 Higher Here
Than Abroad.

There is one feature of the abnor-
NAL rise in the price of wheat that IL
will be well for farmers in marketing.
the remnant of last years crop to.
bear in mind. The European market
price Is now below the price here,
when the freight and expense of ship
ping is taken into consideration. That
should result in checking exports o.
both wheat and -four, and If the wealth
er conditions continue to improve in
the extreme northern states and Can
ada, it would seem probable that the
| price of wheat in the United States
must come down to the shipping basis.
There is more than the usual proper
ton of spring wheat left over in the
hands of farmers on account OF con-
ditions prevailing last fall which pre-
vented marketing, and most of this
wheat will no doubt be sold as soon
as the spring work is done, if the in
centive of the present high price con-
tinues.
The speculative boom in wheat will
quite likely carry the price beyond
what buyers OF the actual wheat, the
millers and exporters, may feel it safe
to pay, but in the end the price on the
exchanges must conform to the gen.
eral markets Of the world. There Is,
of course, the exception to this gen
eral rule of supply and demand, which
is, that in ase there is so great a
shortage in the crop here, SO that
there will be no surplus to sell abroad,
the price here, through speculation,
may be much above the price in the
foreign markets.
No one at the present time a tell
what the future wheat crop will pro-
duce, for it depends upon the weather
and the ravages of insects that cannot
be foretold. We do know, however,
that the acreage of winter wheat has
been somewhat reduced and in the
spring wheat belt the reduced acreage
is estimated at Is per cent. The con-
dftion of the growing crop is unsatis-
factory in some of the states, with
green bug" rayages reported in sew
eral sections. Conditions in Europe
are also somewhat similar to those
here, as far as a cold and backward
spring can make them. Wheat, how
ever, until it reaches the "jointed"
stage is helped rather than hurt by
cold weather, for it generally stools"
better and this results in a greater
yield.
There is also a political bearing
connected with this wheat boom that
Republican farmers should bear In
mind. Neither good nor bad crops,
nor high nor low prices for them, are
brought about by Republican or Dem
ocratic policies, though the high price
for trust productions which the farm
ers have to pay has been made pos
sible through the tariff protection the
trusts enjoy by reason of Republican
legislation.

By II. e. BLAKEsLEE. JACKSON.

That the South has experienced sew
eral years of unprecedented prosperity,
none win try to deny. 1t is a matter,
however, of some regret that our people
could not have enjoyed this prosperity
without such a long division with those
from other parts of the country. No
complaint is made that outsiders have
reaped such a large share of these bene-
fits. We are glad to know that the de-
velopment has taken place, but the re-
greet is that our people could not be in
duced to do this years ago and without
assistance from ether sources. The
Macon Beacon publishes the following
sensible article anent this matter:
"The Manufacturers Record gives the
following interesting tabulation of the
growth and development of the South in
the first ~half-dozen years of the twenti-
eth century:
