In the October Century Represent ative Samuel w. Mccall discusses 1.-The Outlook for Tariff Reform, urging the necessity of tariff revision, and giving his reasons therefor. MT Mccall does not go minutely into the question of schedules, believing that there would be difference of opinion even among Republicans as to the extent and char acter of the revision; but he is strong ly in favor of reduction and advocates free crude lumber and the abolition of the tax upon works of art-of which he says "the government should rather put premium upon their importation. MT Mccall further sets immediately after the next presidential election as the earliest practicable time for the re- vision he advocates.

Legislative Gossip

introduced in the house by Repre- sentative Fletcher, requiring coal inspectors to make inspections promptly, under penalty of fine of not less than $25. The bill has already passed the house.
 To Reconsider Bill.
 Senator Patterson gave notice to- day that he would move to recon sider the vote by which the Good win bill, authorizing the state board of education to invest the perma- nent school fund in school district warrants, passed the senate. The bill was passed Thursday by a close vote.
 Good Roads Hill.
 The house spent the entire after noon today in discussion of the Arnold good roads bill, which pro- vides for the formation of improve ment districts for the working of country roads, in the same manner as improvement districts are form ed for the improvement of streets in cities. The districts are to be formed upon the filing of a petition signed by a majority of the pro- perty owners of the proposed dis trict, in point of value. The bill was opposed on the ground that it would impose hardship upon many property owners who have all they can do to make living and prevent their farms from being sold to satisfy the mortgages with which they are covered. It was cOntended that many such property owners would be unable to pay the taxes imposed and would as re- suit lose their homes. Amendments exempting about twenty counties from the provisions of the bill were presented and adopted and the measure was then made special order for next Tuesday, This bill was endorsed by the Arkansas Good Roads Association at it's recent con- vention in this city.
 Adjourned and Adjourned.
 The senate adjourned at noon until o'clock, intending to devote the afternoon to work, but upon re- assembling so many of the members desired to leave for their homes to spend Sunday that motion to ad- journ till Monday morning was adopted immediately after the ses- sion convened. The senate is far ahead of the house and can afford to take more lengthy holidays

Brick Company's Contract.

The senate committee on judic- iary spent the afternoon considering the bill introduced some time ago, abrogating the contract between the state and the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing company for the working of the state convicts. This is the famous Dickinson contract, which has been an issue in politics In Arkansas for years. The com mittee did not go into the question of whether the contract should be abrogated or not, but confined itself to an investigation as to the legal right of the legislature to abrogate contract. Attorney General Kirby appeared before the committee and contended that the state could can eel the contract. He presented a number of authorities to support this contention. Judge w. E. Hem ingway and Attorney w. M. Lewis appeared on behalf of the contract ors and submitted authorities to support their contention that the state could not legally abrogate the contract. The committee heard the arguments but took no action on the matter.

When a ball-player attempts to tell
o ther players how to become a slug

proposition. Right Mt the start he
humps against the fact that natural
ability has whole lot to do with 1t.
OF course, player can improve his
ability to send the ball where It will
entitle him to ticket ut first, but
unless he Is ''born hitter" he's not
going to get to the top, in my opin-
lon, at least.
But there are good many things
that will help even a poor batter.
Probably the most important is to
have confidence in himself. II he
comes to the plate thinking That

chances are away In favor of getting
a good crack at the ball.
One should always keep his eye and
brain in good condition by the right
kind Of living. BOOKING and late hours
are not in the same day with base
