 "The Raid on Prosperity" by James Roscoe Day ILL. D., D. c. l.. Published by D. Appleton & Go.
 Professor Day is chancellor of the Syracuse university, and in "The Raid op Prosperity" the author takes, a unique position, although he explains in the preface that he thus pronounced himself some 20 years ago. He says. ''The trial of business corpora tions in courts of the administration by a prosecuting administration, the arraignment of citizens and their busi- ness by name in a condemnatory way, the characterizing of private citizens extensively, and the commenting ad -versely upon men under indictment waiting trial, unseemly quarrels with the representatives of our highest of ficial positions before an astonished civilized world, have seemed to me so opposed to all our dignified traditions and such menace to our boasted free dom as to justify an examination of some first principles" The first chap ter entitled "The New Age" may fit- tingly be epitomized in the sentence, "The intensity of our times and per- haps the type by which we shall be distinguished" In the next chapter on "Our Proportions,' the author deals with corporate interests as tre- mendous agency in our obligation and opportunity as civilizers and educa- tors. The distinction he draws be- tween corporations as business insti-

MILLS May
Be JAILED

II. T, Mills of Past Due Agency fame,
is liable to spend few hours, days or
weeks in JAIL according to the order
issued this afternoon by Judge An
drade. Mills was mixed up in a ply
steal encounter with another attorney
in the police court last Monday and
both participants were fined $40 each
for contempt Of court. The other at
torney seeing that the fisticufs had
been brought about through quick tenn
per and that it was certainly contempt,
Immediately paid his fine.
Mills, on the other hand, in a spirit
OF obstinacy, refused to do so and not
ed an appeal From all that can be
learned there is no appeal allowed by
the law in a case of direct contempt
such as Mills incurred, but still no fine
has been paid. Judge Andrade has
ordered him to pay the fine before 4: 80
this afternoon or he will be ordered
into the custody of the sheriff.

l BONE IN UNION SQUARE

AND ANOTHER IN FICTION
Everything happens to him who
reads" said a New Yorker who cross
ed Union Square just in time to wit
ness the panic of the recent bomb
throwing tragedy. There flashed into
my mind at the instant of that report
the scene in a book l read by Joseph
Conrad when the Harpers published it
just about this time last year-The
Secret Agent At first thought that It
was a mere eXcitable impression due
to the vivid memory of the book, but
when 1 read later that the youth who
dropped the bomb lived with mis- mar
ried sister, that he was known to be
supplemented, and had recently come
under the influence of a powerful anar-
chist, l marvelled more and more at
the likeness of circumstances to that
dingy little circle of destruction in
Conrad's picture. Truth is not only
stranger than fiction, but sometimes
you can hardly tell them apart.

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.

An election which more directly
affects the welfare of the people
than any we have, is the annual
selection of directors of the public
schools in the various districts and
the levy of the tax with which
these schools are maintained. No
officer is more important than the
one who names the teachers and
administers the funds by which
the children are educated; and
there is no tax that could not be
better spared than that for the sup
port of schools.
This election will be held on
next Saturday, May IS, and we
hope that in every district full
vote will be polled.
In the special school district of
Conway, the largest in the county
there will be at least four good men
from which the voters will have to
select two for directors. There is
no opposition, so far as we have
heard, to the continuance of the
seven-mill tax for school purposes
in this district. 1t was adopted by
an overwhelming vote last year,
and has already enabled the dis
trict to overcome a rather formid-
abledebt and at the same time
maintain the highest grade, the abb
clifton of which was contemplated
last year. A new school buildi ng
is an absolute necessity, but it can
not be built unless the seven-mill
tax ismaintained.

occasioned by the currency panic
last October are rapidly passing
away. Railroad and industrial
stocks are gradually Ginning back
to their normal values, the prices
of agricultural products are tending
upward and work of building and
improvements is being resumed all
over the country. A good crop
and fair price in this county this
fall will make us all forget that
there ever was a panic.

AN EXTRA SESSION CALLED.

Allen H. Hamiter, who seized
she Office of governor during the
temporary absence of Acting Gov
ernor Pindall, took advantage of
his position by issuing in the dead
hours of night Monday call for
an extra session of the legislature.
The puerile reasons given by
him for this action will be found in
another part of this paper.
Of course, Hamiter, who, as
speaker of the house of representa-
tives, displayed about as much
intelligence and executive ability
as barn-yard gander, is the tool
of designing politicians and graft
ers. No one can blame him, for
he has never given evidence of a
greater degree of wisdom than is
manifested in his call for a special
session.
The unfortunate part OF the
matter is that he is probably with
in his legal rights in issuing
the cali, that it will be obeyed and
that probably $50, 900 of the state
general fund will be squandered,
besides the likelihood OF the
grating contractors of the state
capitol, who are perhaps back OF
the whole matter, obtaining the
quarter of million dollars to the
credit of that fund.
The legislature ought to adjourn
Immediately after assembling, and
after passing resolutions condemn
ing the outrageous action OF
Hamiter, and every member ought
to have the manhood not to draw
a penny of the states money for
his services.

Faulkner's Share of Crop.

Station Agent J. w. James, who
bears the reputation of having a
fine head for hggers," has calcu-
lated that the average crop of cot
ton made in Faulkner county is
Just one seven hundredth part
of the average total crop in the
United States. He says the pro-
portion will not only hold good as
to the average for a number of
years, but that in no year will the
total crop be found to be apprecia-
bly, more or less than 100 times the
crop of Faulkner county for the
year.
