TARIFF ASSET.

A reprint from the Chicago Record Herald Independent Republican, in Saturdays News Scimitar, suggest that the tariff which protects the Steel corporation from foreign competition, bestows a gift of one billion dollars On that corporation. This is worthy of further attention. The benficiaries of this gift from the people, or tho peoples agency, the government, will resent the peoples voice in their af- fairs. The people who have bestowed this large asset and are thus in reality stockholders in this corporation, would be denied any voice in it's management and any suggestion that the same agency, the government, that created or gave this large asset, probably larg- CT than all others the corporation pos sesses, should have any voice in it's methods or management, would be of fensively resented.
 Men who profit by the laws of gov ernment. their own seeking, object to that same government making any laws that would control or regulate the management.

 "In this country we hear very little about army experiments with dirigible balloons, but it seems hardly possible that so important a matter as aerial navigation is evidently to become in military operations can be neglected in any of it's details by our officers. Tn explanation of this condition of affairs it is said that experiments with aero- planes have been carried on here to such an extent that practical airship constructed on this principle will soon be forthcoming, and that, when such does appear, it's great superiority over the drigible balloon will at once be evident
 If such is the fact, no apprehen- sions need be felt lest we be found un- prepared in this respect; and time and ingenuity spent in perfecting an air ship of the older sort would be wasted

STATES HAY CROP
 IS MOST ABUNDANT
Hot, Dry Weather Came After the Crop Had Reached Its Growth and Very
 Little Damage Resulted.

In spite of the recent long dry spell one of the finest crops of hay that has years is now being cut, says the Little Rock Gazette Local dealers say that some of the best hay they ever had the fortune to offer for sale has been cut this season, and because of it's plenti- fulness the price has diminished con- siderably. Two months ago hay sold in this city for $12 per ton wholesale, and now it retails at $7.50 per ton.
 One dealer says that as the hay had reached it's growth before the hot weather the hot sun and the lack of rain was just what was needed to dry it out quickly. It was his opinion that the price of feed would very like ly drop still lower. He said the recent dry weather will not make much diff ference in the price of grain.
 Oats have been slightly retarded by the dryness of the soil, and conse quently the price has advanced, al though a fair corp is expected; Oats are now selling in St. Louis and in this city for 60 cents bushel, and short time ago sold for 50 cents. Most of the corn, however, has been practical ly destroyed in this section of the country by the heat, and in conse- quence the crop this year in this state will be very small. New corn is bring ing 65 cents per bushel, and old corn is around the dollar mark. The supply of the latter will probably exceed tn, demand

THE MISSISSIPPI SENATORSHIP

While sincerely congratulating Hop John Sharp Williams upon his cleo. ton to the Senate of the United States, We must, at the same time, lfelictate Gov. James K. Vardaman upon the splendid campaign that he made for the office, and the tremen- dous vote cast for him, proving how high he stands in the esteem of the people whom he has served as govern- or and how popular his administra- ton has been. Although defeated for the Senate. Governor Vardaman has taken place in Mississippi politics that is hereafter to be reckoned with. and he must be strong man indeed who will undertake to dispute with him the eminence that he has achieved.

AERIAL WAR FLEETS.

The. question of the prominence of aerial war fleets in future ruptures be- tween the nations is being widely dis cussed. The Providence Tribune has done some able thinking along the lines of their possible conjunction with the armies operating on terra irma. The Tribune thinks that such conjunc- tfons must be considered not merely as possibilities which the future may bring forth, but as something already practically in process of construction and the effects of their existence will have to be taken into account in the calculations of the general staffs of all the world that make a study of the problems of the art of war.
 Then the Tribune gives an incident:
 Last week it was reported from Paris that an arship built for th< French government sailed over that city one morning for an hour and a half, going at will with the wind, against it and across it. This craft carried a crew of two officers and two men and was under complete control at all times Nineteen more airships of this type, it is said, are to be built at once for the use of the French army, while the training of the officers and men who will manage them has already begun.
 But Germany, evidently, has no in : tention of being left behind in this matter by her ancient rival, for word comes from Berlin that very suc- cessful trial has been made in that country of an airship recently built for the government, under the supervision of an army officer Considerable se-' crecy attended this trial, the report be- ing that the ascent was made at night. from a secluded spot sin the presence of only a few witnesses. The airship it is said, remained aloft four hours, apparently under perfect control all the time, and showing an average speed of about twenty-five miles an hour.
 "The French craft carried four per sons and apparently is intended for scouting and observation purposes, but the German machine is reported to be of more ambitious sort, there being room on it's platform for six men, two quick-firing guns and an apparatus for throwing explosives into the forti- tications or among the troops of the enemy. Within the space of quarter mile it is said that it can soar for hours at time at height of 1,7OO yards, noting all that is going on be- meath it, and using it's weapons of of fense as opportunity offers.
 That something of this sort would come to pass in the near future has been frequently predicted of late, but here seems to be an armed airShip al ready in existence and likely to be fol- lowed soon by others. for only bv means of craft of the same sort could

promotion and this consideration, justly influenced many votes for him. He is the recognized leader of his party in Congress, and many friends of both candidates voted for Gov ernor Vardaman because they did not want to see the Minority Leader re- nounce the high place that he has so ably filled in the House, not pausing to reflect that the senate term that he aspired to did not begin until March 4, 1911, and thought to per MT.

The State Fair Association proposes to give the premiums offered by the press of Arkansas for increased cir culation and advertising and for the payment of delinquent accounts. The State Fair Association agrees to pay all expenses of the one most popular lady from each of the seven congressional districts in Arkansas, to and from the State Fair and dur ing the Fair. This means railway transportation both ways from any point in Arkansas where the elected lady lives. her hotel bill at first class hostelry during the entire ten days of the Fair, to furnish her car riage to and from grounds, and to generally entertain her with recep- tions, fetes, etc., during the Fair.
 Each of these seven ladies will in turn reign one day during the Fair as the Hostess and Queen of the State Fair, during the other days she will prominently participate in all the functions, as one of the honored court ladies in the retinue of the reigning queen.
 The WOmen's Federated Clubs of Arkansas are with the Fair Associa- tion in this great popularity contest. The Federation has a standing State Fair Committee who are even now sending out letters to every club in the State, urging them to see that suitable ladies are brought into the voting contests in each district, so that we are sure to have State Fair Queens of whom we may all be truly proud.
 The club ladies are peculiarly in- terested in this matter for Thursday, October 10, will be Federation Day." and on that day Mrs. Richard B. Will. lis of Searcy, president of the Arkan- sas Federation, will be the State Fair

WANT LOWER
 COTTON RATE

Austin, Tex, Aug. 13.-A hearing was held today by the railroad con- mission to consider the proposition of reducing the freight rates on round bale cotton. Representatives of the Farmers union, who presented the pe- tition, cited the great economy of handling round bales because of their compactness, the bag wrapper minim- izing the fire danger and the half-bale size permitting quick handling. Round bale advocates claim an advantage to the railroads of 10 cents per hun dred pounds, and ask for this reduc- tion from the rate charged on flat or square bale cotton.
