The Times Enterprise, of JonesbOro, in speaking of the proposed bill to re- move all chancery practice In the fifth district to Wynne, says that it shas taken an inventory of the sentiment of the bar at Jonesboro on the ques- tion and finds that the lawyers there generally favor the proposed legisla- tion.' This seems strange in view of the fact that Lamb & Caraway, Hughes & Frierson, F. c. Taylor, J. F. Gautney, Basil Baker, H. W. Apple gate and Mathes & Westbrooke, all prominent counsellors at law in Jones boro, have issued circular letter and addressed one to every attorney i'll the district, in which circular they set forth in most convincing and learn ed maaner, sixteen or more most se- rious objections 10 such proposition. They say, over their own signatures. that the entire plan seems to Us to be al variance with all our ideas and experiences, and traditions in connec- tion with our courts. N It does not curto us that any conceivable bene- lit to the bar of the district can result from the bill.o If there is no benefit to the bar there can be none to the litigants, so we think the proposed measure was still born, and should be given immediate burial, and so deep that it will never raise its head again. This bill, If enacted, would be positively outrageous in its effect.

Governor Little's Coup.

If Governor Little does nothing else for Arkansas except to bring unity and good will into the state capitol he will have served his people well. This it seems the new governor has accomplished, for our news re- ports tell of the unbarring of many doors, the unlocking of many locks and the introduction of the smile of welcome to many offices where before there was little but the frown of op- position.
 Under Governor Davis many inn portant state officials had been too bitterly antagonized to keep the open door of welcome 10 all. and these an- tagonisms offered no small barrier in the way of Arkansas progress
 Governor Little has brushed them one and all aside He has east them out; burned them away and cemmuni- cation from office to office no longer bristles with the thorns of deep ami mosities. Business can b. transacted directly; there is no longer the need for an intermediary and the result is that despatch has usurped the place of delay, and the machinery of the state is moving with well-oiled reg ularity.
 This coup upon the part of Gov. Little is not only personal victory. but general benefit. It not only bespeaks his popularity and his pleas ing diplomacy; but it argues a pro- greSsiye and harmonious administra- tion of affairs of the state-one which will no doubt, lead Arkansas to the front at a rapid pace, for when there is strong pull, a steady pull and a pull all together for the good of Ark ansas, there will be such promising fields uncovered that none may resist the desire to develop to advance and to sing in praise of the state and the richness thereof.

The following from an exchange is exactly applicable to Forrest City, and carries with it very valuable sug- gestion which is hidden between the lines. Read it carefully and see if you can find the answer: With the great number of Improvements being made in the city, there is no need why any one should be turned away who wants to work: but it is fact that many have been turned away lately, for the reason that there are no houses for rent in the city.

\ circular letter dated at Harris burg, January l2, 1907, addressed to the members of the bar of the fifth chanccry district, and accompanied by a proposed bill providing that the chaneery court for the entire fifth district shall hereafter be held at Wynnc, Cross county, Arkansas, has
 been industr riouSly circulated by mem herS of the bar of Poinsett county, and perhaps some of the Cross county lawyers, though the names from the latter place do not appear herewith. Judge Robertson is quoted as saying that such a step has been under con siderati0n for some time, and that so far as he is individually concerned he would favor the bill, as it would allow him 10 remain at home, but if there is any objection to such a bill he would not desire it's enactment. There is objection, Judge. A perfect storm of objection. In fact we think there cannot be found whole dozen lawyers in the district who favor such an ill-advised proposition. If we
 thought for one moment that the legislature might by any possible
 misconception of its workings, pass this proposed measure, we would now
 devote this entire paper to thorough exposure of it's calamitous probabili-
 ties and disastrous effects. But the
 act k so fraught with danger and in convenience, and the absence of any necessity for it. and the almost uni
 Yersal opposition to il, is so pronounc- ed. that we deem any considerable argument against it unnecessary.
 Let the legislature take notice that nine lawyers out Of ten, every sherir.
 every clerk, and ninety per cent of the litigants of the district are se-
 riously and most emphatically opposed
 to any such revolution in the chan cery practice of this district.

There is no probability that the act proposed by the Levee Association. which would put a tax Of one dollar a bale on all cotton raised in the bot tom, will ever pass the Arkansas legislature. Senator DeRositt is chairman of the senate committee on levees, and Hon. Ollie \. killough is member of the house committee on levees, besides there are. other honest. sincere men who have the interest ot the small farmer at heart and WiH protect them against any such high handed outrage

Running newspaper k just like running hotel, only different. When a man goes into hotel and finds something on the table that does not suit him he does hot raise hades with
 the landlord and tell him to stop his hotel. Well hardly. He sets that
 dish to one side and Wades into the many dishes that do suit him. IL is different with some newspaper read CTS. They find occasionally an article that does not suit them exactly. and without stopping to think it may please hundreds of other readers. make grand stand play and tell the editor how paper should be run and what should be put in it.

@one of the greatest inducements that can be offered the prospective home seeker aside from good lands at reasonable prices says d Lonoke exchange, 'is moral, intelligent law abiding citizenship. It is this which Is proving the beacon light that is drawing so many good citizens to our midst.

Arkansas presents thous- ands of just such places and St. Francis county stands ill the front rank, with many other inducements to offer to the industrious home seeker

It is well known fact to every in- telligent newspaper reader in Arkan- sas, that the Arkansas Leyee Associa- tion, of which Mr w E. Miller, preSi- dent of the St Francis Levee Board, is president, has held several meet ings in Little Rock lately and dis cussed and decided to ask the pas age of bill putting tax of one dollar q 1 bale on cotton. It is an easy matter to deny this, but the Little Rock papers and Commercial Appeal have from time To time given full partie- ulars of this outrageous proposition. and certainly did not err The fact is that the proposition got too warm for the Leyee Association, and it is now stated by mouthpieces that no one but the Red river levee people want ed this tax. The statement is a will l ful peryersion of we'll known truth.
 But we believe that those who did favor it have learned few things, and there is now no probability of such a measure becoming law.

The fertile brain of some lawyer or lawyers at Harrisburg has conceived the idea of making WYnne the place for holding the chancery court for the entire fifth chancery circuit. The idea is so positively impracticable and ri- dieulous, that We wonder that any sensible attorney would entertain it seriously for one moment. We move that the proposed bill be laid upon the table.
