State Capital Notes
Five Governors In ,6 Monhts.

The chance remark by Secretary Paul Little to the effect that he had served as private secretary to four gov. ernors in little less than year and a half resulted in a little figuring on just how many chief executives Ar kansas has had since the election of 1906.
 The list, covering a period of less than sixteen months, totals five, as follows: Jeff Davis, John s. Little, John Ike Moore, Xenophen o. Pindall and Allen H. Hamiter.
 On the 18th of January a year ago, Gov Jeff Davis retired to make way for Gov Little. A few weeks after this Gov Little was stricken in health and the office reverted to the presi- dent of the senate, Hon. John I. Moore,
 who became the third governor in the list. At the close of the session of the general assembly Gov Moore was sue
 ceeded by Eon. x o. Pindall, who was elected from the holdover senators as president of the senate and became the fourth in the list of executives. Elev-
 en months later, through the absence of Gov. PindaIl from the state, Hon, Allen Hamiter, speaker of the house, i is qualified as go1ernor, completing
 the quintet of governors who have
 ruled the destinies of the State since
 January 16, 1907
 This would make, on an average, a
 little over three months to the execu-
 tive, though, of course, most of the time has been served by Cows. Moore and Pindall.
 Incidentally, it is interesting to note that within the next eight months there will he two other governors
 making a total of seven governors for
 little over two years. This results | from the fact that at the next meet ing of the general assembly, if GUS i tom Is followed out, the senate will organize in advance of the house, elect
 ing their president of the senate and | other officers. The president of the senate will, by virtue of his office, be come acting governor, since this duty | must be filled by the president of the | senate until the installation of the l next regularly elected governor. As | the governor is not formally installed
 until after the organization of both
 houses of the legislature it is evident that the next president of the senate
 will be acting governor during the time l between the election of officers in the senate and the formal inauguration of the new governor, after organiza tion of the house of representatives,

Fly Paper to Protect Trees.

At number of places in Little Rock where property owners have fine shade trees, fly paper wrapped around the trunk of the tree, just below the branches with the sticky side out, is being used to protect the trees from the ravages of worms. This is the season when the caterpillar matched in the ground at the foot of trees, climbs to the limbs and out to the leaves and there eats every vestige of the green foliage away, These worms cover trees by the thousands in some instances but it is claimed that the sticky fly paper forms bar rier past which they cannot crawl.

Rosamond Gets Lease on Life,

The initial act of the new acting governor Allen H. Hamiter, was thor oughly humanitarian. He granted an extension of weeks time to Isaac Rosamond, the Lafayette county ne- gro condemned to die for killing his companion, Charley Lewis, a year ago.
 The reason for the change in the date for the execution was based on the fact that the original date, June 19, was Emancipation Day, and the governor was petitioned by the citizens Of the county to set some other day far the execution, as the gatherings of negroes on Emancipation Day are always abnormal. There was also the reason that it was hardly the proper thing to hang a negro on the date whten his fellows were celebrating their chief festival
 The hanging was simply postponed a week, and Rosamond will be hanged on June 26th
