Hundreds of northwesterners are coming to Arkansas. Our soil and climate are the induce ment. The Agricultural Com missioner's office is crowded, daily, with people seeking inior- nation. Most of these come from the cold northwest, where the mercury plays below zero most of the winter, while down here, roses are in bloom, and turnip-greens are knee-high. Ar kansas has q fine climate and the best farming and stock-rais- ing lands in America. More people is what is needed.

The Presidents standardization ideas are not taking well with Democrats. If President Roose- welt could only have his way with things he would wipe out State lines. do away With local self-government and control the whole country by Federal au- thority. We have heard some people claim that Roosevelt was a pretty good Democrat. but we think he lacks the principal ele- ment in being one, and that is Democracy. He favors central ization and protective tariff. the two great government theories opposed by Democracy.

The Farmers Union Is strictly non-political and it's head officers do not intend to permit it to figure in politics, as an organization.

The Moor Of Today.
philadelphia Telegraph


II the usurping sultan OF Morocco
succeeds in thoroughly arousing the
religious fascination of the tribes, some
desperate fighting will fall to the share
Of France and Spain. No one who has
not been in the interior of Morocco,
or who is not we'll acquainted with
conditions there, can appreciate the
bigotry Of the land and the mediaeval
quality Of the hatred felt for Chris
tians The Moor who lives outside OF
the direct influence of civilization is
the same kind of a fighting man as
his ancestors who descended on Spain
with the sword in one hand and the
Koran in the other and founded an
empire there The only difference be-
tween a twelfth or thirteenth century
Moor and the tribesman Of today is
that the former was cultured and
learned man and the latter is an ignor-
ant. barbarian robber, to whom war
and pillage are the first and most en-
joyable pursuits of existence

String important in Japan.

Writing from Japan. an American
says
You must come here to appreciate
some of the quaint customs and usages
which contact with other people has
not vet driven out. To read about
them gives you only poor idea. For
instance, did you ever know what an
important thing a piece OF string Is
here? The children, workmen, idlers'
servants all carry pieces Of string for
use in case of emergency. With ua
the emergency would arise only when
a parcel had to be done up. but the
Jap uses his piece OF string as nrst
aid to the injured. to repair rent IN
his clothing, to fix broken down
jinrikisha, to mend tools, to take meas
urements, and in fact, the string Is his
universal tool chest The queerest use
to which 1t is put, according to my
way of thinking Is when police or
flcer arrests man. ties a bit OF string
around the arrested mans wrist and
then leads him by the loose end of the
thin hempen fetter to the lookup. You
ask: why doesn't the Jap crook break
the string and find a gateway" he
could, but the law comes In, and the
bit of string holds the man as secure
ly as tho he We're manacled by our own
humane chilled steel. nickel-plated ano
snap locked method"

SHIP SUBSIDIES STARTED RIGHT.

A ship subsidy scheme that will de-
velop steamship connection With South
America will find favor even in the
west where ship subsidies are under
suspicion In any FORM The develop
ment of transportation lines that will
open up new territory for trade such
as better mail and transport service
between the states and South Ameri-
can ports are worthy of public aid just
as new railroads are worth aiding with
land grants and tax aids.
The ocean mail' scheme. which has
the approval of President Roosevelt,
will start In the right direction. 1t Is
proposed that the government shall
pay subsidy amounting to about ST.
100000 a year to steamship lines run
Ming direct between New York and Rio
de Janeiro and Buenos Ayres, primari-
ly for carrying the mails and incident
ally to afford freight passage between
those cities. This will bring South
America into regular and rapid COM
munication with the United States,
will create ties of mutual interest, will
increase trade and eventually will d.
vert to the United States great IL
not larger part of the enormous COM
merce now carried on with Europe.
The whole country will be bentited, for
manufacturers and merchants will par
ticipate in the advantages that will
follow.
The west, however, would feel better
about this ship subsidy business II
there would be shown a disposition to
open up a few European markets to
American meat products on more fav-
orable terms. Manufacturers who want
tran importation lines subsidized so as to
enable them TO compete with the world
in South American markets should GER
tainly have little objection to trading
down some of their protective sched-
ules in return for more favorable mar
kets abroad for our agricultural ex-
ports. You scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours is a homely entente but
it gets close to human nature which
rules in all things.

ABOLISH GAMBLING IN FUTURES.

1t is proposed at Washington to en-
act a statute forbdding gambling In
stocks. bonds and crop futures which
transactions are all done on margins.
Already the Chicago newspapers are
arguing that such a law would abol-
ish the Chicago Board of Trade and
ruin the Chicago market for grain
Nevertheless gambling in futures has
been prohibited in some foreign coun-
tries and it has proved immensely
beneficial. In this country we have
several very great evils arising from
our business of trading in margins. In
the first place every village, town and
county turnout the central west has
it's wrecked fortunes and ruined car
GERS of retired farmers and successful
merchants who, after years Of labor
ious saving and accommodating, have
gone broke on the board of trade.
Turnout the east the same Is true of
the SPECTATORS on the stock exchange.
Ruined lives, wrecked fortunes and
suicides by the thousands have been
caused.
Secondly the speculative demand IS
more often an abnormal and fictitious
demand, just as often depressing the
rightful market as expanding it, ac-
cording as the big operators and pro-
fessional cliques manipulate the mar
ket so that its real value in sustain-
ing a market Is Of little Importance.
Commodities would sell on a basis Of
actual cash transactions the same az
hardware, clothing and dry goods, even
if no specializing in futures was done
on margins and it does not follow that
there would not be an active market
for our grain crops and corporate Sc
curities with the gambling stopped.
The chances are that such markets
would be far more stable and that
prices would be more genuine.
Thirdly, the business Of specializing
on margins disturbs our financial af-
fairs. Idle money gravitates to New
York from the reserve centers of the
country where It Is available and a
constant temptation to the spectators
who borrow it for use on the stock
exchange. Then when the season re-
turns again in which legitimate bust
ness transactions need the money,
there is a stringency and consequent
embarrassment to the whole business
world. BY stopping the stock gamb-
ling this condition would be relieved.
Speculation can not be stopped by
statute and should not be. Speculation
is born of optimism and optimism Is
the motive that compels men to sow
that they may reap. We want specu-
lation with us at all times just as we
want the sun to shine but when a man
buys something on which to speculate
we want him to actually buy it. We
do not want him to put up margin
and buy hardware at clearing house
where men buy and sell all day and
settle the transactions of 100 cars with
the actual delivery of one car. This en-
ables the professional operator of large
means to have 100 times the influence
upon the hardware market that he
