tract violated, which has never
been done, except by a lot OF
political candidates and nest
feathorers. The architect esti-
mated that it would cost about
S1G0,@00 to change the dome
from copper to stone. Other
states have crossed the continent
for stone far inferior to ours for
such work, but Arkansas, with
the finest Of building stone within
her borders, goes after Michigan
copper. State pride intrusively
swells within me and revolts at
such procedure.
Caldwell and Drake may be
scoundrels, but they are fine
workmen, and the very fact that
theyiwent before the courts and
gave such testimoney as they did
is proof that they put up money
to influence legislation under Pc
culiar circumstances. Cook,
Cox and the combine in the Sen
ate were after money, and it
seems to have been understood in
Little Rock for many years that
legislation, just or unjust, that
was to be bought has to be
bought through the Senate.
These men were advised to put
up the money by business men OF
Little Rock, to be used in passing
the capitol bill through the gen.
eral assembly and to keep archi-

favorable report Of the work

Drake thought this was proper
business down in Arkansas, and
while they did wrong, how much
greater was the wrong Of others?
Caldwell and Drake were strang-
ers here, pulled by men whom
the peoole had trusted and placed
in high office. But since the
Doodle investigation most every
state, county and township can
didate who could chirp "honest
contractors" has heaped unto
himself much credit, ability,
qualification and honor on the
account OF these contractors who
were really led by others.
Caldwell and Drake will de-
fend themselves in the courts If
discharged and matters pert ain
ing to the new state capitol will
be tied up good and strong.
Legislatures can repeal previous
acts, but cannot invalidate con-
tracts made under such acts
before being repealed. II con-
tracts are violated, then let the
proper officers enforce the law.

almost everywhere in the vicinity of Park Row,
but carefully avoided the building occupied by

CLIMAX IN SHIP WAR.
GREAT STRUGGLE NEAR.
RumOr That Mercantile Marine WM
Reconstruct It's Service.

London, Jan. 12.-The rate war among the AT
lantic steamship companies and the new agree
ment between the two German companies, the
North German Lloyd and the Hamburg -Amerl-
can. on which the Emperor has just set the seal
of his approval. are creating great interest IN
British shipping circles. The struggle for su-
premacy in fixing the rates and working condi-
tions of the enormous Atlantic passenger traffic
which has been going Internationally for
nearly year is now reaching the climax, and
promises to be one of the most severe in the his
tory of British shipping
The International Mercantile Marine is con-
sidered to have made a great stroke when,
short time ago. it obtained the only available
berthage for big liners at Southampton, to-
gether with dock construction sites. and started
a naid-ueekly service with the White Star liner
Adriatic and her sister ships.
The new agreement between the Hamburg
American and North German Lloyd, which rep
resent an aggregate tonnage Of 1.652.430 is a
formidable threat TO British interests in every
part Of the world. It is under a single flag,
while the International Mercantile Marine. which
began with a tonnage under 100000, was in
ternationaL
Among the reasons advanced here for the new
agreement are first. the appearance OF the Lust-
tania and the Mauretania, and, second. the
White Star corpany's establishment of an ex-
press service to New York from Southampton
and Cherbourg which Is regarded an in
fringement Of the spirit of the agreement be
tween the North Atlantic combination and the
German companies.
According 10 The Liverpool Journal of Com
rnerce." the latest runor is that Messrs- Ismay
Pirrie and Morgan are considering q great re-
construction of the lines under their control
with view to applying the enormous financial
resources at their command.
It is interesting to note that last year the
Cunard Line carried more third class passen-
gers from Great Britain to America than any
British company engaged in the North Atlantic
trade the total being $4,000 with 21.5OO second
class passen gers.
