EVERYTHING Bad,

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some Of his holdings
In southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from railroad.
and it was necessary to finish the
journey in a buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles Of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer blowing corn on the
side Of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, hopping
his face with red bandana.
Good morning"
"Mornin', mister!"
you live here, l suppose?"
yep"
"How's crops?"
Fair to middlin'."
That's bad hill you're blowing"
II know it. Bad boss, pullin' tn
pillow, bad plow, bad everything"
why, you talk like you were the
poorest man in Arkansas" laughed the
planter.
Il amt, though" was the response,
as the young fellow smiled good
naturally. Another Teller owns half
O. this crop"

Accused Men Have Been Held

CHANGE 0FvENUE ALSO ASKED
Efforts Of Attorneys For Denfenss in
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone Cases
to Free Clients On Technical Grounds
Results in Failure.

BOISE, March 1s--In the case OF
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone. Judge
Wood at Caldwell today overruled the
motion made by the defense to dismiss
the case. The motion was based on
the long delay in the trial. Since the
cases We're ready for trial two terms
have passed and the defense conten-
ded that the accused men are entitled
to liberty on the ground that these
two terms have passed since their ar
raignment. Attorney Richardson for
the defense argued that the statutes
of the United States do not act as
bar in sucn cases, pending the deter
mination of the appeal habeas cor
pus proceedings He held it only pro-
hibited the execution of any sentence
that might be imposed.
Senator Borah for the state, took the
ground that the statute as constituted
by the Supreme Court prohibited the
state court from proceeding in any
manner. In overruling the motion
Judge Wood said he was not called
on to decide whether the federal sta
tute raised bar to proceeding while
habeas corpus proceedings are pend
ing. The afternoon was taken up with
motion for a change of venue. The
defense said they mad hundreds of affi-
davits in support of the motion. These
We're made by persons living in the
county and all set forth that public
mind was prejudiced against the de-
PENDANTS. The arguments of the mo-
ton will be made tomorrow.

Bryan Says They Have Done More
Good Than Any Other Force.
HAVE BETTERED SOCIAL LIFE

strumsntal In Political Reforms
Women Farmers Should Organize.

CHICAGO, March lS,--Wm. Jen-
nings Bryan. at the closing conference
yesterday In connection with the In
dustrial exhibit, expressed the opin-
lon that trade unions have done more
good for society than any other force
In this country, Although Mr.. Bryan
disclaimed any scientific" knowledge
OF the question, his remarks were re-
oelved with much satisfaction by the
audience OF the union men from the
Federation of Labor, who attended the
meeting
The unions have made some mis-
takes but they have accomplished
more gdbd," was the keynote of his
speech. He paid tribute especially
TO the organizations OF women In this
connection, when we consider that
through trade unions wages have been
increased, hours shortened and COM
fort afforded to the workingmen In
greater measure" he said. Il think
we have right to say the benefits
resulting from these unions cannot be
overestlmated. Perhaps no other force
In the country ever has been SO effec-
tive for Improvement In the citizen
ship and general moral qualities of
our people,
+. THE Australian ballot system, for
one thing, Is largely due In this coun-
try to the agitation of the trade un-
ions. I almost feel safe In saying that
mad It not been for the interest taken
In this reform by those organizations
we might stlll be enjoying the old
system of voting.
"If the labor union had never done
anything else than raise the age limit
Of employment for children In the |
mines and factories of this nation, I
believe that accomplishment alone
would Justify its existence. No in
reference In this country has ever
been as evil in its effects as the ten
dency to crowd our workshops with
children of tender years. II Is most
destructive tendency, and one that the
public conscience should protest"
Referring to women In industries
Mr.. Bryan said he believed women
might accomplish as much as men
through organization and unions.
