Honesty for Corporations.

The national government alone has
sufficiently extensive power and ju-
risdiction to exercise adequate control
over the great Interstate corporations
While this thorough supervision and
control by the national government is
desirable primarily in the interests of
the people, it will also, 1 firmly be-
lieve, be to the benefit of those corpor-
ations themselves, which desire to be
honest and law abiding.
Only thus can we put over these
corporations one competent and eff
cient sovereign-the nation-able to
both exact justice from them and to
secure justice for them, so that they
may not be alternately pampered ana
oppressed. The proposal need be
dreaded only by those corporations
or to be controlled in just fashion. but
which do not wish to obey the law
prefer to take their chances under the
present lack of system and to court
the chance of getting improper favors
as offsetting the chance of being

Money For State Farm.

The Penitentary Board will hold an adjourned session the latter part of the week, and it is likely will order a payment on the state convict farm in Lincoln county. What this amount will be has not been agreed upon by the members. The only payment made on the farm this year is $15, 900, which was paid to the Urquhart estate sev- eral months ago. The farm was sold tn the State for $140,000. The recent legislature appropriated $45,000 for payment on the place, out of which appropriation sl5,000 was paid on May 20. leaving a balance to the credit of the appropriation of $3O,OOO. Pay ments for the farm must come out of the penitentiary fund. which consists of the earnings of the penitentiary. At present there Is about $25,OO0 to the credit of the fund. and as large returns from the sales of cotton will soon come in. the board feels justified in making another payment on the place. The amount paid on the convict farm to date is about $7S,000, leaving bal ance of s62, ,000 and interest due.

Acting Governor X. O. Pindall will appoint successor to the late Asso- ciate Justice James F. Riddick on the Supreme bench within a few days. Justice Riddick was elected to serve term of eight years at the general election held in September, 1906 He had served only about one year Of the term up to the time of his death. The law which will serve as a guid- ance to Acting Governor Pindall is as follows: Tn any case wherein va cancy in any office shall occur, to be filled, under the provision of the con- stitution, by a special election, the governor shall have power temporarily to fill the same by granting a com mission, which shall expire when the
 person elected to fill said office, at such election, shall be duly qualified.

Petition for Pardon.

Sam Q. Sevier of Camden presented a petition to the governor for par don for R. M. McClelland. convicted at the fall term, 1906, of the Ouachita Circuit Court on the charge of grand larceny on two counts and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. He has already served one years impris- onment. The petition states that Me Clelland fell in bad company and com- mitted an act which made him only technically guilty of the offense of which he was convicted. Two parties induced him to secure for them a quantity of brass from a place where they had secreted it, and which they had stolen. McClelland got the brass and was arrested. The parties who committed the theft escaped. The pc tition for his pardon is recommended by the trail judge and the prosecuting attorney of the district.
