PICKED UP AT EUREKA
Tribune Editor Spends a Day
 at the Great Health Resort

Just to be doing, The Tribune editor spent Monday in Eureka Springs, the special attraction being the opening of the semi annual term of Western district circuit court.
 Judge Naples set his mill of justice to grinding on time and although the gamblers all seem ed to be off on mid winter va cation, there appeared to be grist enough to occupy the prin- cipal portion of the week. r The atmosphere of Eureka Springs was unusually quiet for the opening day of circuit court, but little seemed to be expected or feared from the deliberations of the present grand jury. The Citizens Bank failure eighteen months ago was hardly mention ed in our presence.
 The Western district court house is beginning to look quiet "housey," the building being now practically enclosed. The contractor has promised to have it ready for occumpancy by the next August term of court. It is very neat and substantial structure.
 Business in the resort appear ed to be from middling to very quiet. The only hubbub we no- ticed was about the printing offices. The Times-Echo and The Flashlight have both re- gently added to their already fine equipment and seemed to have lots of business, while another plant was being established for the publication of the Eureka Springs Times, the sheet that has been presided over with so much dignity by Clio Miller, for more than a year past. We look for editorials three columns wide to come with the dawning of the papers new tailor made suit. The new plant is to be controlled by stock company composed of B. J. Rosewater, Dr. Ellis, J. H. Delono, Clio Miller, E. B. Mattox, Robert Hudson, F. o. Butt, G. U. Matthews, R. s. Granger, U. G. Kelley, George P. Fought and J. w. Freeman. The political complexion of the crowd is all one color Butt one, so it is safe to say the Times will continue robustly Republican.
 Wyth Walker was on hand at court, but he didn't speak. Wyth says he has been offered S15,000 a year to go on the stage and exhibit himself as the champion liar of the United States on account of the speeches he made during the campaign last fall.
 The most strenuouslys trenuous working man about Eureka Springs today is c. E. Foreman, who is carrier on the rural route out of that city. Rising at 4 in the morning he turns in at 7 cov- ering a distance of 36 miles day over the worst rural route road in perhaps America.
 The recent effort to convert the Crescent hotel into a college for girls is pronounced a success. Men of experience and means are behind the scheme and noth- ing seems to stand in the way of fair degree of success.

IN DEFENSE OF THE PILLORY
Enensn Writer Shows Some Good
Points About This Old-Time
Form Of Punishment.

Perhaps one OF the few really demo
crstc Institutions ever created was
the pillory. do not say that it was
a humane institution. though il was
certainly more humane than our sys-
tenn OF silent Imprisonment But be-
ing humane has nothing to do with
being democratic. You may have hui
name and inhumane democracies. lust
as you may have humane and inhu-
name despots.
The point is that the piilory was
real appeal 10 the people. II il was
cruel, 1t was because the people were
cruel, or perhaps Justly indignant.
The people threw dead cats (the less
humanitarian. ! believe threw live
cats), but they could throw bouquets
and crowns Of laurel If they liked
Sometimes they did. The argument
about the old public punishments cuts
both ways. The publicity was an ad-
ditonal risk for the government as
well as an additional risk for the pris-
oner, and this 10 specially true of the
executions for treason. It was no
small thing that half a million men
might possibly treat as 2 MARTYR A
man whom the king was treating as A
murderer; that the prince had to con-
eede to every obscure rufian exactly
what that rufiian probably wanted

REALLY NO PUZZLE AT ALL.
Erudlte Editor Arises to Explain Why
Women Descend From Street
Cars the Wrong Way.

1T makes US tired" wrote the editor
OF the Hickory Ridge Missourian.
when we see some city newspaper
wondering why il is that n woman al
ways gets OF street car the wrong
way. There amt no mystery about it
at all. Our wife explained it to us
years ago, and she never rode on a
street car but once in her life. when
she was visiting relations in Kansas
City. woman gets of a street car
backward because she naturally grabs
her skirts with her left hand. That's
constitutional with a woman. Then
she has TO grab something with her
right hand to hold on to. and that's
the railing at the rear end Of the car.
80 when she steps on she has to face
the wrong way. You can't break
women OF that habit unless you make
them get OF on the left side of the
street car, and II you did that it's lust
as likely as not they'd be contrary
enough to grab their skirts with their
right hands. But there amt nothing
strange about the way they get OF
now. Blamed If We don't think some
times that some OF the stupidest men

Peculiar Qualities Of the Swallow
Should Endear Him to All TIL
lers Of the Soil.

From the standpoint OF the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described an the light
cavalry of the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and IN
excelled in aerial evolutions, they have
few rivals in the art Of capturing in
sects In midair. They eat nothing Of
value to man except a few predaceous
wasps and bugs. and In return for
their services in destroying vast num-
bers Of noxious insects ask only for
harborage and protection.
It is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their Pc
culiar value to the cotton grower is
due. Orioles do royal service In catch
ing weevils on the bolls, and black
birds, wrens. fycatchers and others
contribute to the good work, but when
swallows are migrating over the cot
ton fields they find the weevils flying
In the open and wage active war
against them. AS many as AZ adult
weevils have been found in the stom-
ach OF a single Cliff swallow.
