Grace Harmon sighed and

closed the magazine and struck a
match to light his pipe. A toying
breeze, laden with the sweet scent
from the apple trees in the yard,
pulled out the match, and on its
way through the room gently open
ed the outer door. Needham rose
to his feet, and slipping his unlight-

across the room and closed the

composed of R. B. Adams, c. M. Edwards and T, H. Dearing. The committee was empowered to en- ploy legal counsel if necessary, and to draft any new ordinances it deemed best to adopt.
 The committee to whom was re- ferred the matter of creating the office of city attorney, reported that it had been unable to agree upon terms with the gentleman recommended for the position, he having demanded more in certain instances than the committee thought best to concede. The re- port of the committee was accept. ed and the committee discharged, thus disposing of the matter for the present. It seemed to be the general sentiment of the members, however, that an ordinance creat- ing the office of city attorney and defining his duties should be adopted and incorporated in the digest of the city laws to be pub- lished later.
 Several bills were allowed, after which the council adjourned.

AFTER JEFF SOME MORE
Rumored That the Grand Jury is After Senator Jeff Davis.

Little Rock. Feb. 3.-It is al. legged that Senator Jeff Davis met Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rho. ton last Monday morning, only 24 hours before the Arkansas Legis- lature elected him to the United States Senate, and implored the Prosecuting Attorney not to ruin his chances of election by institut- ing proceedings against him. Sen ator Davis had reason to believe when he saw MT. Rhoton that the grand jury had been Investigating his alleged use of free transporta- tion on the Iron Mountain rail road. The grand jury knows whether that was true or not, and Prosecuting Attorney R h 0 n knows.
 It is not charged that Senator Davis has been indicted, but it developed yesterday that deter mined inquiry was being made in- to his alleged use of free passes over railroads of the State.
 After Senator Davis visit to Mir. Rhoton last Monday when it be- come apparent that the latter had determined upon the course he would pursue, the Senator made a hurried visit to St. Louis. He was in that city when Rhoton's S charges contained in the letter to Attorney General Kirby were made public.
 Rumor has 1t that Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton was aprised Fri day morning by an agent that Sen ator Davis had visited a prominent railroad official in St. Louis.
 Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton was not in the city yesterday, and no information was given out at his office as to his whereabouts. It is surmised however that he, too, had gone up ta St. Louis.
 Mir. Rhotou had understood be- fore he left Little Rock that Sen ator Davis purposed to give out an answer to the charges he had made in his letter to Attorney Ganeral Kirby.
 Friends of Mr. Rhoton who ought to know said last night that he would produce not only evi- dence to substantiate his charges, but that more sensational develop ments were to follow.
 Regardless of whether or not the grand jury investigated t h e charges, 1t is a known fact that the alleged use of free transportation by Senator Davis has been pres ented to Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton within the week by a prominent party who does not hesitate to say that he and others witnessed a transaction on a rail- way passenger train in the State which looked so questionable that he offered the train auditor $50 to drop or lose the slip which Senator Davis had used.
 It is believed that should Mir. Rhoton become convinced that Senator Davis had violated the law in this regard, a warrant will probably be issued for the Senator at once.

SOCIALISM I'll E REMEDY
Prominent Socialist Expresses HiS
 Views of Laws and Lawmakers
To The Newark JOurnal:

To The Newark Journal:
 Wynne, Feb. 5.-I see in The Journal of February 1, an article, the title of which is Laws want ed by the Farmers Union," and that they have a committee down at Little Rock for the purpose of asking for such laws as they think would be to the best interest of the farmers. Now, Mr. Editor, wouldn't that jar you?
 Now what 1 want to say is this: If the farmers have sense enough to know what they want, and can send committee down to Little Rock to formulate such laws as they want and pass resolutions asking the legislature to pass them, why did they not elect the legislators from their own ranks2 They have ma jority of the votes and the majority rule is demo- cratic. Why not elect men whom they knew were interested in the farmers welfare2 While l am not 8 farmer, my interest is identical with the farmer and all others that get their bread by the sweat of their face, because 1t is fact thas all wealth is created by labor. Without labor there is no wealth. and if labor creates all the wealth l say labor is entitled to the full ness thereof. And, again, if we create all the wealth and in num- erical numbers we have majority of about 99 to 1, then why not take charge of the affairs of the government, and run 1t in the in- terest of all the people and not in, the interest of the few? I can't see why we have to elect sorno two-blt lawyer or corrupt politi- elan to represent us in our state legislatures and national congress-
 When 1 say corrupt politicians l mean what 1 say, for you know there is but few states in the Union but what have been prose cutting some of their legislators for bribery and boodling. And these prosecutions have even gone into the United States senate. The whole push of them ought to be wearing stripes instead of Prince Alberts.
 Now, MT. Farmers Union, wake up and do @ little thinking for your wife and babies before elec- tion, and let's elect a few laboring men to make our laws and then we won't have go before that dis honorable body of bribers and boodlers with our hats off and get down on our knees and beg for something that we have in our own power. l believe in a Repub- lican form of government man. aged on democratic principles; g. government of the people, for the people and by the people-all the people, not the few privileged rich, as we now have.
 And, my dear fellow laborers. l want to tell you now, you cam never get justice for labor by electing politicians in either one of the old parties. Have we not been trying them for the last forty odd years, with the following re- suits: 31,0O0 millionairs and 10 million paupers and tramps. Now, my fellow workers, the only hope for the laboring man, woman or child today is in the Socialist party, whose principles are demo- cratic. We know labor-creates all wealth and contend that labor is entitled to all it creates. Wa
