The commission has very large amount of data upon the new rates which are be- ing charged, nearly every large shipper in the state who has been stung for the increase, has filed his complaint with the commission, and the courts will probably be very busy with these penalty suits, tor it is practically sure that the commission will order them. Each charge made by the increased rate is separate violation of the law, according to the acts of the legis- lature, and the five railroads stand liable to thou sands of suits for the penalty of from $2oo to $3ooo. It is probable, however, that but one or two suits will be filed against the railroads at first to test the acts of the legislature ill the higher courts.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY


 Little Rock, Nov. o.-To those who sit idly by and count the number of pardons issued by a gov ernor, it would seem to them that the chief executive does nothing more than to issue pardons, but one glance at the pardon files of the gubernatorial office will con- vince the most skeptical that only a small percent of the petitions for pardons submitted to the governor are granted. There are two large filing sections in the ante room of the governors office which are filled with petitions denied, and in the drawers of the desk used by Paul Little, secretary to the gover- nor, there are over POO applications for pardons which have never yet been passed upon by the governor.
 To rest after a vigorous cam- paign, M. E. Dunaway. a mem- Der of the next legislature from Pulaski county, has returned to his home in Little Rock from four weeks of hard labor for Bryan in Indiana and Illinois. He was for a portion of the time on the special train which bore Kern over the state.
 Republicans in the South have nothing like the zeal and loyalty to the party" says MT. Dunaway, ''as do the Democrats of the North ern states. Here the Republicans have their reward, but the Demo crats in those states have nothing to look forward to, yet they work night and day for the pure love tf the party. never saw people work so in my life as do the Dem ocrats in Indiana, and some day they will triumph"
 Should Pres. I lect Taft decide to select another Republican from the South for his cabinet, the Republicans of this section would demand that H. L. Remmel be chosen for the job. Gen. Powell Clayton, the patron saint of the Republican party in Arkansas, is an intimate friend of Col. Remmel, ana if the opportunity should pre- sent itself, he will ask for the ap- pointment, as no more popular move could be made by the Re publican party in Arkansas, Col. Remmel being held as high in the esteem of the Democrats as he is by the Republicans.
 Although there will be no con- ventions in Little Rock during the coming week, it promises to be one the gayest of the year, for the sec ond annual flower show opens Wednesday, to last three days, and this IS the real society event of the year in Little Rock. Many elab- crate functions have been arranged by the patronesses and their as. sistants. Many large boxes have begun to come in from the hot houses of Northern Tourists to be exhibited for prizes in the show. Chrysanthemums will be more numerous than the other blooms, and it is estimated fully o,ooo of these will daily grace the banquet hall of the Hotel Marion, during the three days of the show. Car nations, roses and orchids are the other flowers which will be shown

Possibly 50 delegates to the cot ton convention which opens in Memphis tomorrow, went through the city today, coming from all sections of the state. All the dele gates are enthusiastic over the idea of holding their cotton for 10 cents in spite of the failure of those hold ing out last year. Most of those who attended the convention have little cotton on hand, having mark eted what they have received up to date.
 With the city primaries some time off, the timber for the races is already being seasoned. There are many mentioned for the mayor ality race, but the most recent can didste mentioned is C. c. Cofman, who, on the last day of October, retired as county judge. w. R. Duley will be a candidate for re- election, and it is thought John Tuohey, George A. Stratman and w. B. Brooks will also be in the race. The candidates for the city attcrneyship are just about as numerous. Herbert Duval, Harry C. Hale and June P. Wooten, all young attorneys. will probably be in the contest, with the name of R. c. Powers being also mentioned as a candidate.
