GOOD LEGISLATION.

The passage Of the Lee Brown
ng bill, permitting the old.line
ire insurance companies to re-
urn TO tho state, was q sensible
pot by the Legislature. IL has
occurred to US that tho antitrust
bet was ridiculously stringent In
regard TO tho fire insurance
companies, To say that q COM
pany that enters into a eombina- =
ZION to..eontrol rates anywhere In
fhe world cannot do business In
fhis state seems TO be going a
title too far with legislation. II
would seem moro reasonable TO
pay that no company can do busi-
hess In this state that enters into
} combination to control rates In
lhis state, and tho present legis-
lature sees the matter In thia
light II ought to matter very
little with Arkansas what the in
suronco companies do up In Iowa.

GOVERNOR LITTLE.

n Notwithstan the reports
published daily by the Little
Rock papers to the effect that
Governor Little is rapidly regain. q.
Ing his health, the report has
rained circulation that he may
never be able to serve his term as
Governor, The report has been
bublished that Governor Little's 8
mind as we'll as his body is af-
fected, and that he probably will
never be in condition to attend to
&he high position to which he has
been elected. All the people
Sincerely hope that these latter
reports are not true and that
Governor Little is really being
Restored to health, but it appears
Btrange that nothing has ever
appeared from the Governor
himself in regard to his condition.
u is strange also that if all the
Improvement reported by the
little Rock papers is to be ac-
tepted as having occurred,
Governor Little has not re-
burned to the state. The people
8hould know Governors Little's s
rue condition, and all rumors
hould be put to rest, If Mr..
4 little is incapable of attending
% the duties of Governor, the
eople should be apprised Of the
bet, and allowed to name his
uccessor. If he is really return
hg to health and will soon be
ble to take up the reins Of
government, the people will re-
Ipice over the fact. Governor
little should make the latter fact
nown, if it be a fact.

INSTRUMENTATION,

Much is being said at this time
on the question Of reforestry.
What interests the state at large
is just how far it should 60 in
this matter. Just where does
the practical side of the refor-
estry problem end? The theory
of REPRESENTATION is a beautiful
one, and men jealous as to the
possibility of covering our waste
lands with a second growth of
timber are apt to be carried into
the realms of fantasy, anticipat-
ing returns which we, or genera
tions to come, will never realize.
May we ask just how far it is
feasible to cover the thousands
of acres of jack pine barrens in
our northern counties with a new
growth of pine, lands which new
er bore forest products of any
value-too poor to bear even sa t.
isfactory vegetation for grazing
purposes, lands which, if turned
over, would blow away and be-
come drifting sand wastes? How
far should we ask our people to
bear the expense of reforesting
this class of lands? If a refor.
estration of jack pine barrens is
a possibility in the minds of our
reforestry friends and they wish
to state such as facts to us, let US
say right here that we do not be-
lieve any such pollycoddle bust
ness. Show us where the refor-
estry of such lands has been sue.
cessful and we will cheerfully
stand corrected.

No warrants have yet been issued, but
Morehouse is detained awaiting develop
