TO BUILD THE INTERIOR.

Elsewhere in this issue of THE OASIS are presented two articles of marked significance so far as No- gales may be concerned. One is a communication from Guaymas out lining the concession for new steamer line between Mexican ports and San Diego, California, with the privilege of extension to San Pedro. The other is an article from the Arizona Republican quot ing a Chicago correspondent of the Los Angeles Times who presented the pending radical changes in the policy of the transcontinental rail- ways toward interior points.
 The communication from Guay- mas states that already the lines of the Naviera Company bring to Guaymas from Salina Cruz freight from New York destined to Arizona points that has crossed the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, coming from the point of original shipment via the American Hawaiian line of steam CTS; and that this route is proving cheaper in its freights than the transcontinental lines.
 The article from the Arizona Republican states that the trans continental lines will adopt a change in policy by which interior points that have been discrimin- ated against heretofore in favor oi maritime coast cities, will be given consideration in rate making, SC they will be made distributors in competition with the coast cite, that have had the advantage oI water rates, and have been given control of the jobbing trade for the entire coast, on account of thai very advantage. The motive as signed for the change in policy i: that the transcontinental line, realize that with opening of the Panama canal all the coast cities will turn to that as the cheapest route, and that the transcontinen

lines have concluded to adopt a policy of building up interior points, such as Nogales, Tucson, Phoenix, Reno, Spokane, etc, mak- ing them distributors in their tributary regions, and so far as are concerned those regions terminat ing the advantage of position oc- cupied as distributors heretofore by such points as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle.
 The communication from Quay mas shows that tho transcontinen
 tals do not have to await comple ton of the Panama canal to find the necessity of catering to interior points as against coast cities, but that the time is upon them already at least so far as is concerned Southern California and points in Arizona. The opening of the Tehuantepec railway, with the nine lines of Stea mShips centering there from all parts of Europe and New York, and the extension of the lines of the Naviera company have anticipated by several years com pletion of the Panama canal, and is cutting already into the traIic of the transcontinental lines. Several weeks ago THE OASIS noted that the garbanzo crop of the delta, of the Yaqui and Mayo rivers. which was shipped formerly to Guaymas, thence over the Soulherr Paci fic to New Orleans, and thence by water to Cuba, Spain and South America, had been diverted to the Salina Cruz route; and now we have information that freight from New York to Arizona is coming to the Tehuantepec railway, up the coast to Guaymas, and thence to Arizona points, in direct competition with the Southern Pacific.
 Facts such as the foregoing are what are bringing about the change in policy by the transcontinental lines, noted in the article repro
 duced elsewhere. The traEscontin- ental lines must preserve the traffic with the interior, at all hazards, and secure so much as possible of that along the coast which is being reach ed after by ihe new route across the Isthmu5 of !ehuantepec, and will be bid for by the Panama route when the canal is completed. To do that rates to interior points will
 be made that will meet anything coming via Tehuantepec or Pana-
 ma The Chicago correspondent states that the transcontinentals will make cuts in rates to interior
 points varying from twenty. five per cent to fifty per cent. That change in policy will be of vast sd. vantage to NogaDes. It is the closest interior point to any coast harbor, and to meet the Tehuante.

AS many of the convicts as can
be maintained without cost to the
state should be put to work on the
public roads; but they should
build state roads instead of county
roads. The plan apportioning
convicts to the various counties is
not feasible. At the most an av-
erage of not more than five con-
victs to the county would be avail
able, and the cost of transporting
and guarding FIVE men would be
as great as if free labor were en-
ployed. Let the state take the
convicts and build state road.
Local self-interest should not be
allowed to block the plan. We
don't care whether the work is be-
gun in Clay county or Miller, in
Benton or Chicot. Let a road be
laid out just as a railroad would
plan a new line-from some point
to some other, where the traffic
seems to need it most. Let that
road be built by the state and
when it is completed let another
one be started. If the work is
permitted to proceed without inter
ruption it will be a matter of only
a few decades until Arkansas is
traversed with as many miles OF
stone roads built by the state as
there are now miles OF railroads
within the state.

APPOINTMENT WAS ACCEPTED
Chief Justice Hill Resigns from
Supreme Court.
Place Taken by Associate Justice McCul-
loeb, who is Succeeded by Sam
Frauenthal of Conway.

Little Rock, Feb. I.-Special.-
After the decisions of the su-
preme court had been rendered this
morning, Joseph M. Hill, who has
been serving the state for the past
four years as chief justice of the
supreme court, announced that he
had decided to accept the commits
sion as chief attorneys for the state
in the $50, 900 fight against the in
crease in rates by the railroads.
Chief Justice Hill made brief ad-
dress to the attorney present,
thanking them for the considera-
ton shown him and regretting his
departure from the bench, but stat
ing it was plain to him his duties
toward the state were now in diff
ferent direction and he must turn
his talents where they will best
serve the state. The resignation
was announced to take effect at
once. The announcement was no
surprise as it was generally known
among the friends of Chief Justice

MISTAKE OF THE PROHIBITIONISTS

We very much regret to read
in the current issue of the Baptist
Advance that cat a conference in
this city last Wednesday between
a number of legislators and repre-
sentatives of the Church Temper
ance Conference, the Anti Saloon
League and w. c. I. u, it was
agreed unanimously that we press
for statutory prohibition"
Our first reason for regretting
this is that we favor state wide
prohibition and believe majority
of the people favor it. No more GER
tain means of securing its defeat
could have been adopted than the
action which the Advance re-
ports has been taken.
Our second reason for regret is
that the temperance forces have
broken faith with their agreement
made with the dominant party of
Arkansas in convention assembled
at Little Rock last June, thereby
placing themselves in a vulner-
able position for attack In the
platform committee of this ConVen-
ton the whole question of state
wide prohibition was threshed out.
Representatives of these same or
CARNATIONS which now announce
that they will demand statutory
prohibition then and there agreed
that they would not demand statu-
tory prohibition; that the pledge OF
the party to submit the question to

six have already been pardoned.
Threet now applies for pardon,
and Hugh Daughtery of Washing
ton county is the only man paying
the penalty of the law as provided
by law for the crime committed.
" 4 submit that it would not be
so bad if these men were only sent
back to there homes and families
to be better men and lead better
lives, but the effect is more far
reaching. In the Eastern district
of Carroll county for example,
where three men have been par
doned and four men killed, three
more men now stand charged with
killing of another, and two men for
an assault with intent to rape. In
Washington county three men
have been pardoned, four killed,
and two more men stand charged
with murder and an assault with
intent to kill and murder and two
have been killed.
The extension of executive
clemency il this district has no
doubt caused a marked increase in
the commission of homicides.
" When Charley Buck of
Washington county turned to his
home after being pardoned, l am
informed that he passed by the
home of John D. Holt, who is
now charged with the murder of
J. w. hurry. Charley Buck was
charged and convicted of the
murder of Arthur Parker by lying
in wait and shooting Parker from
ambush. John D. Holt is charg-
ed with murder by lying in wait
and shooting hurry from ambush.
In twenty minutes after Holt was
arrested by S. L. Todhunter, dep
uty sheriff of Washington county,
and informed that there was
pretty hard case against him, re-
marked that Charley Buck lay in
ambush and killed his man and
the jury only gave him five years
and that the governor pardoned
him out within FIVE months, and
that he was not alarmed, that
pardon could be secured. Buck
on his return home found a bun
die of switches and a note telling
ing him to quit the country and l
understand that he is gone. IT
there is anything in the sign of
the time l think you ought to con
slider we'll before you extend any
further executive clemency.
{" I beg leave to state further
that within ten minutes after the
Jury had returned a verdict of
guilty against Threet it was cur
rently reported on the streets that
Threet would get pardon not
withstanding the fact that the
jury had given him very short
term under the circumstances.
"Since the writing of the above
letter by Mr.. Horsley both Threet
and Daugherty have received par
dons. Also Lem Fitch of Madison
county, convicted recently of all
assault with intent to kill and muir
der in two cases and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary, was
pardoned a few days ago and has
been released"

announcement
WAS A SURPRISE
CHANGES ON SUPREME BENCH
Sam Frauenthal of Conway to be
Associate Justice.
Appointment of Chief Justice Hill to ghtg
Railway Cases Announced by
Governor Donaghey.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

A distinct surprise was created
here this morning by the announce
ment that Hon. Sam Frauenthal
of Conway, one of the leading
members of the state bar, is to be
rendered the position of associate
Justice of the Arkansas supreme
court.
The vacancy on the bench
which Mr.. Fraueuthal will asked
to fill will be caused by the resig-
nation of Chief Justice Joseph M.
Hill to accept the position of chief
counsel for the state in the fight
against the railroaes. Associate
Justice E. A. McCulloch, accord
ing to an announcement by Gov
ernor Donaghey, will be offered
the chief justiceship, and Mr..
Frauenthal will in turn be ten
dered the position of associate JUS
tice.
The appointments, Of course,
hinge upon the acceptance by
Chief Justice Hill of the work of
leading the states battle with the
railways. Judge Hill has not yet
announced that he will accept the
position, but, in an interview Civ
en- out last night, Governor Dona-
ghey stated that Judge Hill had in
Dictated that he would accept. A
definite announcement from him is
not expected before Monday.
The appointment was rendered
to Judge Hill by Governor Dona-
ghey and Attorney General Nor
wood yesterday afternoon, the act
appropriating $50, 900 to pay the
costs of the railroad rate litigation
having received the governor 5
signature only a short time before
The fact that Judge Hill would re-
sign from the highest post of hon
or in the legal profession il this
state to take up the fight, would,
it is thought, lend dignity and
prestige to the states side of the
case.
Mr.. Frauenthal Non-Committal.
When seen this morning Mr..
Frauenthal would not state whether
he would accept the place OF asso-
ciate justice if it were rendered him.
1t is kown that his acceptance
would mean a financial sacrifice,
as the salary of the place is only
So, 900 a year, but Mr., Frauen-
thal's friends believe the honor at
tached to it would lead him to &C
cept the position on the supreme
bench, when it is rendered him.
1.-The matter took me entirely by
SURPRISE" said Mr.. Frauenthal.
II was in Little Rock yesterday on
a business matter and called to
pay my respects to the governor
late in the afternoon, and 1t was
then that Governor Donaghey
first informed me of his intention to
make the appointment in case the
vacancies suggested should occur. .
Mr.. Frauenthal has been prac-
ticing law in this city practically
ever since he entered the profess
sion and has been very successful
as an attorney. He is a senior
member of the firm of Frauenthal
& Robins, which partnership was
formed two years ago. For
many years he has been a close
friend of Governor Donaghey,
who, in an interview published
this morning, speaks in high praise
of Mr.. Frauenthal's legal attain
manic aud qualifications

vote of the people at a special
election to be held in 1909 would
be acceptable to them; that the
temperance forces of Arkansas
would fight it out along that line
and be content with the verdict of
the people.
The Anti-Saloon League is
great power in Arkansas, and its
leaders have in the past generally
displayed too much sagacity to be
swayed by the many misguided
zealots who would confuse their
ranks by side skirmishes instead of
pressing forward in solid phalanx
to the main battle. 1t was with
great difficulty that these leaders
succeeded in avoiding defeat for
their cause by making state wide
prohibition the issue in the last
Democratic campaign, when a
large number of prohibitionists
undertook to rest their chance CT
victory with the success of John
H. Hineman, whose defeat from
the first was inevitable.
When the Democratic conven-
ton was assembled, these same in
spired geniuses who had done
everything by fair means and foul
to thwart his victory, came to
Geo. w. Donagney, the recognized
Header of his party, and demand
ed a prohibition plank in the plat
form. Had he been anything less
than the big man that he is, he
would have said to him: ''You
left your pulpits to go on the
stump and tell the people that my
victory meant that statewide pro-
hibition was impossible during
my administration; you told them
unless they nominated Hinemon
there was no hope for the cause; if
you thought you were telling the
truth then, why ere you not con-
sistent?"
But, instead, the party's leader
insisted that platform should con
tain a plank demanding plebis-
cite on the prohibition question IN
the year 1909, and to this PROPOSE
ton the temperance organizations
agreed, and there was no contest
over the question on the floor OF
the convention.
Now that these organizations
have decided to "press for statu-
tory prohibition we look for no
prohibition at all for at least anoth
er two years. The whiskey interests
themselves could have not devised
more cunning scheme to defeat
prohibition than to have the pro-
hibitionists divide their forces and
demand something entirely differ
ent from that to which they were
pledged and for which the domi-
nant party and the governor him
self stand.
If statewide prohibition is sub
mitted to a vote of the people and
is carried, as we believe it will be,
it will be enforced without delay.
If statutory prohibition bill is
passed, it will simply mean an end
less litigation in the courts, during
which time the law will not only
not be enforced, but will become
so unpopular from its non-enforce-
ment that future prohibition legis
lation will be impossible for years
to come.

ton rendered him.

Hill that he was to accept the posi-
ton rendered him.
Governor Donaghey was i'm
mediately notified and stated that
he would appoint Associate Justice
E. A. McCulloch, who resigned
his position Immediately after the
resignation of Chief Justice Hill,
to fill the vacancy. Sam Frauen-
thai of Conway will be appointed
associate justice to fill the vacancy
on the supreme bench.
Governor Donaghey will proba-
bly, call special election to allow
the people to vote on chief and
associate justice to fill the vacan-
cies. AS the appointments all the
way through meet with the general
approval OF the bar, it is thought
Justices McCulloch and Frauen-
thai will be elected without oppo-
sition.
Chief Counsel Hill will open
offices Immediately in rooms ad-
Joining the Arkansas railroad com
mission, .and James H. Harrod and
w. F. Kirby, his assistants, will
have desks in an adjoining room.
The special counsel will tomorrow
consult with the members of the
Arkansas railroad commission and
promin mt shippers and the states
side of the tariff war will be on in
earnest.
While in Conway Saturday Gov
ernor Donaghey stated to his friends
that he had assurances that Judge
Hill would accept the post offered
him, and the changes on the SUI
preme bench as announced in the
Little Rock dispatch will cause no
surprise here.
Mr.. Frauenthal will be sworn IN
as associate justice tomorrow morn
ing and will begin at once the per-
Torrance of the duties Of that po-
sition. Mr.. Frauenthal left this
morning for Little Rock to arrange
to take up his residence in the
capital city.

FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Jan. 3o.-Special.-
Contrary to the general opinion,
the Arkansas Brick & Manufacture
ing Co. which for ten years work
ed the state convicts and which is
still fighting the state to regain
control OF them, has not shut down
its plants because it has been de-
prived of the use of the state con-
victs.. w. w. Dickinson, the
president, stated yesterday after
noon the plants were running full
time, the company stopping only a
day or two until the plant could be
filled with free labor to take the
place of the conviCts.
Nothing further has been done
in the chief attorneyship in the
$50, 900 legal battle with the rail
railroads. Chief Justice Hill, to
whom the position has been tend
cred, was yesterday visited by R.
P. Allen, former chairman and
still a member of the Arkansas
railroad commission, who urged
him to accept the assignment, US
ing the argument that with his
talents he can best serve the state
in this capacity. Chief Justice
Hill will probably give his answer
during the sitting of the supreme
court Monday and close friends
state that he will accept the COM
mission.

The refusal of the House and
Senate yesterday to seat either of
the Republican contestants there
has reused the ire of the Repup-
lican leaders of Arkansas and they
swear vengeance in the next Sen
atorial and Congressional elections.
They declare that when the time
comes around for these contests
two years hence, there will be a
Republican opponent to each of
the seven Arkansas Congressman
and also an opponent 20 Jeff Davis
for the Senate, and if there is the
least suspicion of illegal voting or
fraud on the part of the Democrats
they will take the contests to
Washington, where with Repub
lican House and Senate they will
get ample revenge.

very important measures being
considered. The Little night
riding bill, fixing punishment of
from I to 10 years for conspiracy
and night riding and death for in
for injuries to persons by night
riders, was unanimously passed by
the house and there was assurance
given that the senate will take Sim
liar action and the governor will
sign the bill. House bill No. IS
by Warnock of Columbia, Irovid-
ing for a change in the banking
laws and leaving out the state
guaranty of deposits, was intro
duced. 1t provides for bank ex-
aminer at an annual salary of
$4,000 to be raised from the banks
of the state. The stockholders, in
case of failure must pay the de-
positors in proportion of their loss
to their holdings. Banks in towns
of 1900 or less must have a paid up
capital of $4,000, and those of
towns Of 10, 900 or more paid up
capital of $50, 900.
