DonagheY on the Financial Situation

boldSuSY OH ule EuldnSldi oltudtlon
 In speech at Mountain Home last week, Mir. George w. Dona- ghey, who is making an active campaign for Governor, referred to the present financial situation in strong terms. Tt looks to me, said Mir. Donaghey, very much like a scheme upon the part of the Wall street spectators to get the South's crop of cotton this year for about half what it is worth. The country banks in this State are not to blame, be- cause when they cannot get the money which they have on de- posit in the Eastern banks, they certainly cannot be criticised for not paying it out. A close and harmonious organization of the business and farming interests in the South" MT. Donaghey , went on to say, is the only remedy for such conditions. Great strides in this direction have already been made by the Farmers Union, the Southern Cotton Association and other we'll known organizations. To aid in this work, I will, if cleo ted Governor, call a convention of all of the Governors of the twelve cotton growing states to meet at some place and discuss the general situatian and endea- yor to agree upon some uniform legislation and organization that would best promote the interests of the cotton grower
 Mr. Donaghey then went into the details of a plan which he had devised, under which, through a close organization of the govern mental, business and farming in terests of the South, money could be obtained in large amounts and at low interest early in season, and the South would thus be prepared to hold its cotton until a reasonable price could be ob- tained for 1t.
 Having been born and bred" on a farm, and being now suc- cesSful business man, Mr. Dona- ghey would be a logical man to introduce such a movement in the Southern States. He believes that the interests of the Southern business man and the Southern cotton grower are identical and that the utmost harmony should prevail between them. MT. Dona- ghey is apparently in the lead in the race for Governor, and we be lieve that if he is elected, Arkan- sas will have one of the most business like administrations in her history.

Contests the Two-Cent Rate.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. December 14.-Through a
test case brought against the Illinois
Southern railroad at Edwardsville by John
Myers of Sparta, the validity of the two
cent passenger fare law enacted by the
state legislature last spring will be deter
mined. The suit will be heard within
few weeks. Myers is the city marshal of
Sparta. The Illinois Southern railroad Is
controlled and operated by John R.
Walsh. July 1 Myers was charged 5
cents a mile for a ticket from Sparta
to Salem. He then brought suit The
Illinois Southern did not put the ,wo-cent
passenger tariff into effect until July 9
That the Illinois railroads have decided
to enter a contest is certain. The pres
idents of the roads have held three meet
ings, and the general Iounsels several.

GOOD IN SPITE OF LOOKS
MOST CHARITABLE COMMENT
ON THE NEW DOUBLE EAGLES.
Fall Far Short in Artistic Appear
ance Of the Admirably Designed
Coins They Are to Supplant.

Whatever may be the difference of
opinion regarding the propriety of omit
ting a motto Of religious sentiment upon
our national coins,' said an expert in
these matters. there can be no difference
of opinion among handlers of coins that
the ten-dollar and twenty-dollar pieces are
numismatic monstrosities, and, were it
not for the cost of executing new de-
signs, sinking new dies and issuing en-
tirely new coins, this issue should be
called in and thrown in the melting pots
at the respective national minis.
viewing the matter purely from the
standpoint of numismatics, 1t is a Ques-
ton whether this added cost, which would
be after all but comparatively small,
should not be disregarded, and an entirely
new issue struck and placed in circulation.
The twenty-dollar gold piece Is not quite
SO hideous as the ten-dollar, but it is not
SO very far behind it, for both are after
the style of exposition medals and COM
memorative medallions,' and do not APP
proach. as coins, the two pieces of money
they are intended to replace
This is particularly true of the double
eagle. than which this nor any other gov
eminent ever minted a finer specimen of
coined money. Numismatic experts the
world over have pronounced this coin to
be in class by itself. The substitution
on gold coins of the Liberty head for that
of the Indian cannot be accepted as an
improvement in any particular, from ar
tistic to utilitarian, as the former typi-
forever remain upon the face of our prin-
cipal coins, while that of the Indian might
be permitted to show upon one or more of
the subsidiary issues.

WEED OUT CRIMINALS
CHICAGO SUGGESTION FOR
ELIMINATING THEM.

CHICAGO, December IA symposium
other social parasites was held at the
Joint meeting of the Physicians Club of
Chicago and the Law Club last night.
These two theories were advanced:
Elimination of criminal children by ster-
ilization.
Treatment of criminals over thirty years
old as habitual. and either sending them
to penal institutions for life or putting
sibly by the cemetery route. .
DIR. William r. Belfield was the advo-
cate of the sterilization idea. He took up
the biological aspect of the criminal, and,
after tracing the development of the in
diyidual to the point where he became a
danger to society, made a plea for race
suicide.
Parole Is an Error.
Morality is the arrest of the instincts
by intellect he said. "A child is a saw
age. If he continues to improve slowly
he has chance to outgrow his tendencies
before he is thirty. Before that he should
be given all the care possible. But when
a man commits a crime after thirty he
may be set down, as rule, to be morally
bad, with no hope of improvement. For
the mature criminal L would advocate
permanent segregation, either by the
penal colony or the cemetery. The inde-
terminate sentence with the parole is =
radical error for the man over thirty. ~.
Inherited Tendencies. W.
1.-THE one hope to material reduction of
the social parasite is in prevention. We
must prevent the criminals from breeding
criminals. The great bulk of criminals in
herit arrested development The state
has let them breed and impoverished it.

DR.. j. n. Hurley, secretary of the In
diana state board of health, told of the
Indiana movement" which is the educa-
ton of the prisoners in the Indiana re-
formatory to allow themselves to be ster-
iliZed. More than 800 of them have sub
mitted to this operation so far.

An Historic Coin.

1.-THE old double eagle is beautiful in it's
simplicity, its face bearing the Liberty
head and thirteen stars representing the
considered a masterpiece in design, and
one does not have to ba an admirer of
coins to feel impressed, even though to
the average person the disc simply repre-
sents just so much money '-alue.
THE eagle and shield are drawn with
perfect proportion, while the entire de-
sign, from the graceful festoon upon
which is inscribed in minute letters the
nations motto E Pluribus Unum, to the
glorias above the eagles head, holos the
eye in admiration.
This Is one of the historic coins of the
nation, and it is to be regretted that the
turkey buzzard idea of the countrys bird
of liberty and power is to supplant it. 1t
will, however, be several years before it
will have entirely passed out of circula-
ton, for up to December of this year
there have been minted and placed into
the hands of the people $2.O61, 400, 200
worth of these exquisite and, to those
who are fortunate enough 20 use them as
circulating medium, extremely serviceable
pieces of money.
The first double eagle was struck De-
cember %, 1S49, and was a specimen. The
dies, however, were found to be defective
and were discarded for new ones from
which, March ., 1850, the first coins
were struck. During this latter year dou-
BILE eagles to the amount of 26,225, 220
were coined. The largest amount of coin
age during any one year of these gold
pieces was in 1904. when the minis turned
them out to the valuation of $227. S19, 400
while the smallest was in 1886, when but

Artistic Money Failures.

1T is an interesting historical fact that
the first one-dollar gold piece, specimen,
was struck March 10. 1s49. and the first
coinage of these now very rarely seen
piece of money was made May s, 1S49.
ut Is worth while to recall. in view of
the almost universal adverse criticism
which has greeted the new gold coins
under discussion. that this is not the first
time the government has had to do with
Issuing what may be termed, for the sake
Of designation. artistic money which met
with such a cold reception and lively crit
icism on the part of the public that the
issues were called in and new designs sub
stituted.
Some years ago designs for Treasury
notes were submitted for artistic COM
petition. There were several denomna
tons of notes included in the scheme, but
have particularly in mind the two
dollar and five-dollar issues. When
they appeared in public, while it
was admitted that they made in
teresting subjects of artistic portraiture
for framing under glass as curiosities in
the nature Of money circulation mediums.
1t ives the consensus of opinion among
bankers and the public at large that they
we're failures for the purpose for which
they were intended. and the Treasury De-
partment made haste to call in all the
notes which had escaped into circulation,
and substitute therefore the present Is
sues, which, 1t Is my understanding, are
the product of our own bureau of engrav-
ing and printing experts, and may be con-
sidered excellent issues in all respects.
"Of course. no one will refuse the new
gold pieces upon the score Of their I'm
popularity regards their design, as the
governments sign manual appears there
on. even though the motto In God We
Trust does not. but the most charitable
comment which may be passed upon them
is that they are good money in spite of
their looks"
