THE ANTI-FUTUREs BILL PASSED
Moore -Heartsill Billed Passed by By Bouth Houses of the
 General Assembly.

Little Rock, March 23.-The Moore Heartsill anti.futures bill, which is intended to prevent deal ing in futures, was passed by the Senate yesterday after a lively debate. The decisive vote of 21 to ? was not altogher in keeping with the spirit of opposition to the measure, as several senators in the discussion arrayed themselves against the bill, but on roll call voted for the measure. They ob- iected particularly to the feature of the bill which prevents ''hedg- ing" The bill now having passed both branches of the legislature, it needs but the approval of the act ting governor to become a law.

JUSTICE A PLENTY

"There is no justice in this world," we heard woman say recently. That's exactly what the world is noted for; justice. Nature has no favorites; all are treated alike. The rich man, is no happier than the poor man, if the poor man behaves himself as we'll as the rich man. No man ever escaped the penalties of nature; every man who violates a natural law, is punished. There is not enough money in the world to buy an exception to this rule. When you say there is no such thing as justice, you are simply talking to hear yourself talk.-Harrison Re- publican.

 'Section ?. That this act be in force from and after its passage.
