 "You see, we are out in all wealth. CTS. Often hatIess, the hot sun beats on our heads like fire, and but for our hair we'd get sunstroke.

Often in winter storms the hair pro- tects the face from being friz. - Minneapolis Journal.

WISE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.

There is a movement on foot among the club women in the west to adopt measures to prevent the separation of children from their mothers on account of poverty. The leaders in this movement point out that in Australia if a widow with a family of children is left destitute the state, instead of taking them away from her and paying their board in an institution, or in a strange family, board them with the mother and so keeps the family to- gether.

INSURANCE COMPANIES SUED
Penalties Aggregating $1, 1oo, ,ooo
 Asked for State.
Attorney General Prosecuting Companies for Alleged Violation of Antitrust
 LAWS,

Little Rock, Oct. 31.-Again the fight is on between the state and insurance companies, or many of them, which are doing business in Arkansas. Attorney General w. F. Kirby and Roy D. Campbell prosecuting attorney of the sixth judicial district, through House & House, late yesterday afternoon filed in the circuit court a suit against seventeen insurance com panies which are doing business in the state, alleging they are in a pool and violating laws of the state, and are, in consequence, liable to penalties of SI ,Ioo, ,ooo.
 The trouble between the state and the insurance companies has been brewing for the past ten days. It started by Gustave Jones, an at torney of Newport, representing w. P. Nelson, a Memphis insur- ance agent who has over POO agents representing his companies in Ark ansas, reporting to the attorney general that four of the general agerts of the state, representing many companies, had informed the agents of Nelson, they could not handle business for the Memphis man and for them also. The suit is the outcome.
 It is alleged in the suit that the seventeen companies have been in a combine since Oct. g, 1908, to regulate prices and rates on pre- mium on fire, tornado and lightning insurance, which was in violation of the antitrust act passed January 23, Ioo6, and for the violation of which a penalty of from S2oo to $500 is each day is fixed, besides the forfeiture of the right to do bus mess in the state. The attorney general alleges the combine exist ed seven days, and asks for judg- ment for the penalty for each day as we'll as the annullment of the franchise of each company.
 In a second section of the suit, the attorney general alleges the companies were also in combine to fix and maintain the commissions to be paid to agents, and conse- quently were again in violation of the act of 1905, and liable to the same penalties.
 The insurance companies made defendants in the suit are: Nation al Fire Insurance Go. of Hartford, American Central Insurance Co.,. Orient Insurance Co.,, Fire Associ- ation of Philadelphia, Pennsylva- mia Fire Insurance Co.,, Spring Garden Insurance Co.,, German American Insurance Co.,, Citizens Insurance Co.,, of St. Louis, Pelican Insurance Go. of New Yo'k, Girard Fire and Marine Insurance Go. Insurance Go. of North America, Caledonian Insurance Co.,, Fire mans Fund Insurance Co.,, Ger man Alliance Insurance Co.,, Queen Insurance Go. of New York and Royal Insurance Go. of Liver pool. All these companies have general agents in Little Rock.

SHIPPERS MAKING PROTEST
Western Freight Classification to be Resist
 ed before Commission.

ed before Commission.
 Little Rock, Oct. 3I.-Again the shippers of Little Rock are up in arms, and A. s. Bragg, manager of the Little Rock Freight Bureau, will file with the interstate rail- road commission a protest upon the Western Freight Classification No. 45, announced by the rail- roads for the territory west of the Mississippi, to become effective to- morrow, from becoming effective in Arkansas. Shippers consider this classification, for hundreds of reasons, the last straw, it being much higher than the tariff for the official and southern classifcations, which embrace the territory north and south of the Ohio river, and east of the Mississippi liver. Under the new classification, shipments to St. Louis from New York are made at about half the rate of ship .ments from St. Louis to Little Rock.
 Que of the worst features to loc. al shippers is the requirements of the railroads to either paste stick CT on the shipment which comes in less than car load lots, or else use metal, leather or cloth tag. The metal tag must be stamp ed, the leather must be written on with ink, and the cloth will blur when wet. The penalty for failure to so mark or label a shipment is a raise in the rates one class, which is also raise in the cost of the shipment. With the intra. state rates so high, the mingling of the new interstate makes the burden twice so hard to bear. It will mean here great revival of river business on shipments from St. Louis.

EVELYN THAW.

Not much is being written now
adays about Evelyn Thaw barring
the secrets of her soul" or her soul
crushing self-sacrifice," or other
such twaddle as found space in the
editorial columns of the newspa-
pers upon the occasion of the first
Thaw trial.
The people have come to take a
different view of Evelyn. She is
no longer the heroine of life
story. The newspapers are not
printing SO many pictures of her
and she is not having herself in
terviewed or snap-shotted SO pro-
miscuously.
It's much more serious prob
lem to Evelyn and Harry this
time than it was then. The latter
will probably walk from the tombs
to an insane asylum, taking this
route to clrcumvent the death
chair
Evelyn is still the cunning act
ress and can fence and spar with
the merciless Jerome with the same
dexterity that she did upon the
occasion of their first battle of
wits. but her story is old and the
public is always clamoring for
something new.
It's only the good stories that
are worth reading twice or three
times.
To use a much used and much
abused expression, Evelyn is now
in the has been class" There
are none to rave over her girlish
beauty, because they know from
her own lips that beauty is only
skin deep" and through her won
drous eyes windows of the soul.
the public has gained an insight
INTO her character that does not re-
feet single quality of the good
woman.
And, come to think of it, there
is nothing particularly womanly or
admirable about her loyalty to her
degenerate husband. To use some
more slang, the Thaw family is
Evelyn's meal ticket. She is stick
ing close to the Thaw pocketbook
1t must be CALLING to her to realize
that she is no longer seated upon
a pedestal erected by an idol-loving
public that is just as tickle as she
is.

THE KERNEL IN THE NUT.

Senator Beveridge, of Indiana
in a recent speech pertinently
said:
We have been busy with ma
terial things, making money.
building roads, sinking mines,
occupying land; busy with
trade and the development of
resources. All this was good.
But finally we became so busy
with real things that we for
got ideal things; so busy with
results that we forgot methods.
Development of resources too
often became exploitation of
resources: trade too often be-
came trickery; government too
often became graft: building
industry too often became Jug
Cling with industry: the praise
worthy spirit of gain by fair
methods too often gave way to
the evil spirit of gain by any
methods.
That seems about as fair an ex
position of the whole matter ms i
is possible to give. We have beel
too busy doing things to take tn,
requisite care as to how they wer,
done, and out of the tremenduou
growth of the development of gu
material resources has come "th,
system" that looks only to results
1t has notsprung into being through
the will of any man or of any men
1t has simply resulted from the de
sire of practical men to attain prac
tical results. The fault has beel
that they have not always apple,
the tests of scrupulous honesty t,
their methods.
The La Jara chronicle., 1908-01-31

The banks of Conejos county are
as solid as the rocks of Gibraltar
and the eastern money shortage
has had little or no effect upon our
home institutions. Banks that the
people have perfect confidence in
and that are worthy of that conf
dence are mighty good things in
any community.
