ALL DOORS CLoED.

Nearly every fraternal and be- nevolent society in the country have excluded these honorable CD gentlemen, the saloon keepers; nearly every door that opens to respectable society is closed against them, and no church in all Professionalism wants to bury them.
 Strictly legal and honorable, |" do you say? There is nothing illegal to which they will not re- sort; there is nothing dishonor- able to which they will not stoop.
 It collects a fund and hires a lawyer, who often sublets the job, to investigate the character Of a Christian because it does not believe him what he claims to be"
 Strictly legal" the very con- ditions on which the law makes it legal brands it with dishonor.
 Strictly honorable" whatever improves'in quality, value and usefulness the raw material from which it works is honorable; but to go in clean and come out dirty; to go in sweet and come out foul: to go in pure and come out defled; to go in healthy and come out diseased; to go in sober and come out drunk; to go in a boy and come out a baboon; to go in a man and come out a possess ed devil, that is as dishonorable as a saloon. So we are working for a stainless flag and saloon less state and we are going to have it.

LITTLE ROCK
 NEWS BUDGET
Items Gathered at the State Capital By the Picayune's
 Representative

Little Rock, June 27. Little Rock is just now enjoy ing a sur plus of chicken thieves, and the county farms are reaping the harvest. Richard Coppage, local negro who was a bit smooth CT than the rest, will take his out in the penitentiary however. Cop page met a country negro on a side street yesterday afternoon, and immediately started to bar gaining for the chickens the countryman had in his wagon. He made a trade for the nine dozen chickens for $1. 65 per doz- 9n, robbery in itself when chick en is selling here for 25 cents a bite. Handing the negro $1, he then told him to wait there un- til he drove around to his store, unloaded the chickens and got the balance of the money and he would be back. The country ne- gro stood On the corner until nearly dark, when passerby sent him to an officer. Coppage was found considerable ways off, peddling the chickens about the city.

Little Rock, June 27. While the attorneys for the Iron Noun tain railroad won in their conten- tlons that the Barker demurrage act was unconstitutional, they are not having such an easy time m getting Judge Jacob Trleber, of the Federal court, to sidetrack the bill which created the Arkan- as Railroad Commission. This act provides heavy penalties for the discrimination between ship pers, and when the railroad ap- pied for an injunction to prevent penalty suits under the Barker act, the Commission ordered pen atty suits under this act.

Representative James T. Lloyd, oi
Missouri. chairman Of the Democratic
national congressional committee, or
March 10. 1908 exposed the fragrant
theft Of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing Of mails when Of
ecial tests were made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
-Mr. Chairman. In delivering my ad
dress few days since on postal con
ditions, in dIscussing the intsrprsta,
ton q tie law as 70 ne weighing d
the mail. failed to state the law on
the subject and wish to do SO now:
The average weight to be aseer
talned, In every case. by the actual
weighing of the mails for such q mum
Der OF successive working days, not
less than thirty. at such times after
June 30. 1873. and not less frequently
than once In every four years.
Later the time was changed tc
ninety daya Otherwise the law has
not been changed TO this date.
Until March q 1907. the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days Sunday was not con.
sidered. 30 that ths Weighing covered
q period Of one hundred and fve days
instead Of ninety successive days. In
other words. workine days were con
strued to mean week days. Postmas.
ter General Cortelyou changed this I'm.
depreciation which had been accepted
a correct for over thirty years and
issued the following order a his con-
struction Of the law:
"That when the weight OF mail ia
taken On railroad routes, the whole
number Of days the malls are weighed
shall be used as q divisor for obtain.
Ing the average weight per day
This required In effect, that, IN
stead Of dividing the number OF work.
Ing or week days In the weighing
period. the dsvisor should be the num-
Der OF days on which mail was actual.
~ carried during the period. II II
was weighed one hundred and five
days. tie divisor 20 obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and ave. II
the mail was not carried on Sunday,
the dlvisor would be ninety. This, as
you can readily see. would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for. six days. for the &C
cumulated mail would be practically
the same whether carried In SIX days
or In seven.
'The present postmaster general.
seeing this prsdicament, issued another
order Of construction, known as order
412.' which In as follows:
That when the weight Of mail In
taken On railroad routes tie whole
number OF days inciud I'd in the weigh
ing period shall be used as a divisor
