The Cabot Guard is a newspaper of good morals. From week to week we noticc in its editorial comments, instructive and high minded thoughts, pointing its read CTS to the better life. In fact, with out personal acquaintance with its editor, one can be almost sure from articles appearing from his pen, that he is a leading member of christian church. Especially has he been active and forceful in fighting the liquor traffic through the columns of his paper. And so we were surprised last week when the Guard took up its cudgels in behalf of the pardon record of Gov ernor Davis, because the The Log Cabin Democrat had seen fit to ap- ply the epithet "disgraceful' in commenting upon this record. It has been indeed seldom that one has heard even one of the gov ernor's closest friends defending this record. During his campaign for the senate, pardons fell from his hands like leaves from frost bitten tree; and since nomination they have not ceased-three or four a day is probably the average. And for what ofenses are these pardons mainly issued? Selling liquor in prohibition territory and giving or selling liquor to minors. Carrying concealed weapons is per haps the next offense in order of popularity that appeals to our ex- ecutive for clemency. And with the knowledge of a certain pardon awaiting an offender, who can say on how many occasions magistrates have failed to convict law breakers who deserved punishment We reiterate, the Cabot Guard to the contrary notwithstanding, that the pardon record of Governor Davis is disgraceful-disgraceful to him as governor and disgraceful to the people of Arkansas. And we hope, as sincerely as we believe, that MT. Little, who will be our governor within a few days, will not follow the crooked and devious path of his predecessor in the granting of pardons.

The Arkansas general assembly is now organized and has begun the work of its session. Let an other word about the length of its session be spoken here. One thousand dollars a day is the cost
 of the salaries and expenses of the legislature. Five hours per day is perhaps the average length of the session, counting the holidays.
 A deficit of SIoo, ,ooo is con fronting the state treasury. Let our "journeyman country savers"

remember these facts; let our sill ver-tongued orators bear in mind that their oratory will cost the state something like three dollars per minute. Let the session be concluded within the constitution al limit of sixty days. An exten- sion to one hundred and twenty days means cost of S6o, 900. An adjournment within sixty days means that the anticipated deficit of SIoo, 900 will be reduced to at most $40, ,ooo. If the session is extended 1t means that our tax must be increased at least one fourth mill. If it is concluded within sixty days, it means that the present tax will be sufficient. The greed of some of the state S representatives for their paltry six dollars day will allow them to plunge the ,state in debt and raise our taxes. The session be concluded within sixty days, it ought to be done, and if public sentiment is brought to bear, it will be done.

Judge J. A. Lea's attitude in the division of the townships of the county will meet the approba- ton of nearly all the people. Be fore making any change he wants to know whether in a proposed township the whites or the blacks will predominate. A negro town ship, with negro justices of the peace and constable, would be one of the greatest evils that could ex- ist in the county. Those living in such a township could violate

WAGES AND FOOD.

When the increased compensation Of
labor is mentioned, il is not unusual to
hear the rejoinder that while this may
be so the cost Of living has increased
tremendously. The argument embodied in
statement of this latter character Is
squarely met by the results of an in
vestigaton carried on by the federal
government experts in relation to food
and wages. The bureau of labor has is
sued a report embodying a comparison
Of the condition prevailing in these two
fields in 1906 and 1905
In 1903, the report says, the average
wages per hour In the principal manu-
featuring and mechanical industries of
the country were 4.5 per cent. higher than
In 1905 the regular hours of labor per
week were 0.5 per cent. lower, and the
number OF employees in the establishments
investigated was per cent. greater. The
average full-tlmc weekly earnings per

At the same time comparisons which
show the .apid increase Of food cost are

A BEAUTIFUL EXPOSITION

brates the three hundrcdth anniversary

going there in the mood of willingness to
discover the attractions OF the exposition
will not be disappointed.
The eight or ten weeks that remains of
the fair ought to bring hundreds of thou
sands Of visitors from all parts of the
