Brutality.

The judicial scandal now disquiet- ing the state of Washington is only an episode So rank have been many of the corporation decisions handed down by the Supreme courts in some Southern and Western states that the Federal courts are refusing to follow them. Among these are de cisions which deny to the heirs of a foreigner working in this country the right to sue for damages for the negligence which results in his death. Having gotten this judicial precedent fixed in the law books, the way was simple for the corporations: employ foreigners only, use no safety devices, kill as many as you like, and remain immune from damage suits. The discrimination against citizens of the United States in the hiring of men is a small part of this brutality. In one case in the West where a score of miners were killed through the alleged fault of one of the subsidiary corporations of the Amalgamated Copper Company, the damage suits were all thrown out of court on the theory that the widows and children of these men had no rights. Some of the Federal courts have declared this attitude contrary to law and justice. The scandal of the Supreme court of Colorado is fresh in the public minf That court was increased by law from three to seven-a somewhat similar increase was recently made in Wash ington-and the Colorado court was packed by certain corporations whose candidates were selected by them and appointed by the governor It was done to secure certain de- cisions unfriendly to labor and to protect certain franchises by which the city of Denver was despoiled. Exactly what happened in Washing ton happened there-a decision against corporation was withdrawn and changed to favor the corpora tion. Golfers Weekly.

Making a Poor Start.

Boozers, imbibers and guzzlers of strong drink in Tennessee are today at the booze bargain counter openly.
 Tonight at the stroxe of 12 a drouth viii cover Tennessee like a pail, except where preparations have been made to dodge the law. Social clubs. chartered by the state, to the number of several hun-
 fred will, it is said bid open defiance to the state wide law by supplying members with all the drinks they could possibly desire and there is no trouble attached to joining one of the clubs.
 Nashville is already well supplied with clubs" but to make sure of having enough to accommodate all corners number of new clubs have been organized, so when the open saloon obeys the command of the law at 12 o'clock tonight. just twenty one social clubs" will throw open their doors and deal out to the mem- bers portions of the liquors, beer, etc, each is supposed to have pur- chased and set in the locker there. The law will permit this.
 Over in Memphis. where more than 1000 saloons will have to go out of business. more than 100 clubs, it is said, will be in working order by tonight, so there will be no dry ones there if they can afford the price of membership, which has been made rather reasonable.
 The smaller towns are not to be left, however. and over fifty charters have been granted by the secretary of state for so-called social clubs in the country towns. Towns that have been in the dry column for number of years are now to have their social clubs.
 The Tennessee prohibition law is the elimination of the bitterest po- litical fight in the states history. It does not appear now that the test to be made of the law beginning at midnight will be more than hollow mockery.
 Prohibition. when it prohibits, is good thing, but when it merely changes the method of getting drunk, as must necessarily be the case in Tennessee with the flood of drinking clubs there, it will do more harm than good. .-Jonesboro News.

NO REASON FOR IT
When Mena Citizens Show the Certain
 Way Out.

There can be no just reason why any reader of this will con- tinue to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the danger of diabetes of any kidney ills when relief IS so near at hand and the most positive proof gwen that they can be cured. Read what a Mena citizen says:
 J. W. Tow, ex-deputy sheriff, 909 South Second Street, Mena Ark, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are the finest remedy 1 ever used. For years WAS troubled with kidney complaint and was unable to find: a remedy that would benefit me. My back ach ed constantly and dizzy spells and headaches were frequent. 1 also had difficulty with the kidney secretions, the passages being toe frequent and greatly disturbing my rest at night. At times I would be completely lad up as a result of the trouble. Finally I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a supply at the Palace Drug Co. The contents of two ooxes made a complete cure, that has remained permanent up to this time"

THE COUNTRIES SAFEGUARD

Colonel Thomas H. Benton for thirty years a senator from Missouri, said: ''The troubles of the country come from uneasy politicians, it's safety from the tranquil masses. v And right there is where Colonel Tom was of. Tranquil masses" nothing Unless the massses rise up and raise aS endless amount of political hell, every year, there will be TO country. The robber trusts will buy the politi- cians and own the country Eldorado (Kas.1 Republican.
 It is only through the tranquility of the masses that abuses of the masses are allowed to exist. The greatest fear of dishonest or inter- est-controlled office holder is that the people will become aroused and demand a strict accounting of his acts. The indifference of the voters Is the opportunity of the grafter and the plunderer. When a man con- fesses that he don't vote because
 money rules anyhow" or it "don't do any good" he makes comics sion that would put to shame his ancestors who fought to give man a chance to rule himself instead of being ruled by kings.

THE SURPLUS CROP.

The farmers around Mena shipped carload of potatoes couple of weeks ago. The results were not satisfactory and doubtless will tend to discourage future efforts in this line. It is mighty hard to see the fruits of the tilers of the soil come to naught He is compelled to be baffied by drouths, floods and insect pests, making this crop or that one failure, and it does seem that when his efforts are rewarded with a good crop there should be no bar rier to keep him from his just and fair returns. But there too often is. The more bountiful the crop the greater are the chances of an over supplied market in the growers com munity. They find they have too much of some certain product for the home market and late in the season decide to ship. After the necessary delays and getting the products together the car is sent off, and the returns discourage another attempt.
 There is a way to overcome this, and as the great pest to cotton comes within our borders it is time to figure it out. Polk county need not step aside for any land when it comes to growing potatoes. onions, cabbage, and other vegetables. The same can be said of fruit, but many of the fruit growers have something to learn regarding the care of their orchards.
 It is doubtful. though, if better returns, for the labor expended, comes from any crop than that from potatoes. Polk county can have them ready for shipment north when the prices are fancy, but to do this and then get the fancy price, they must get together know their com bined acreage and the probable crop; know when the market is right and be there with the goods.
 Don't get discouraged but go in to win and then win.

BOIL wEEvIL COMING.

A more hopeful feeling concerning the cotton crop has developed within the last few days. Blooms are ap- bearing in many fields indicating that some bolls are escaping the boll weeyil. It is figured that enough forms will slip through in this way to make a fair crop. If only one boil would escape every three days it would be sufficient. Then, there is the hope that the weevi) will take vacation sometime during the sea- son. -Lockesburg Enterprise.
 Yes, isn't this hopeful. We'll, this is in the county south of us and Polk county farmers evidently must soon be in the same hopeful condition. Better figure on farming without cotton.

Good Work for Beveridge

The progresslves in Congress have few victories to show for their cour- ageous and striking efforts on be- half of the people in the course of the tariff discussions, but Senator Beveridge has accomplished some thing of real importance: He has actually shamed the senate into re- storing the tobacco tax imposed as a war revenue measure. The senate was disposed to let the tobacco trust enjoy graft by which it has profited to the extent of millions of dollars since the war tax on tobacco was re- pealed. The graft consisted in the continuation of underweight pack ages, allowed by the government while the tax was collected, and sell ing these packages at tax prices. In this way the consumers continued to receive short weight. not in order to replenish the treasury, but to fatten the trust.
 Now the Beveridge amendment will no. change the weights of the packages nor the prices of the same, but it will take about 15 millions a year out of the trusts pocket and put it in the treasury, where it is needed and where it belongs. This feat was accomplished by Beveridge through sheer force of presentation. He made his case so strong that even the senate could not ignore the de- mand. Yet that case..was no strong CT than Bristow made on the sugar schedule, but the sugar schedule had protective as well as a revenue bearing feature, and it was left un- changed.
 However, when Republicans go into things as Bristow, Beveridge, Cummins, Deliver, Clapp, LaFolette and some of the other progressives have gone into them, exposing the graft and greed aud oppression of Republican measures, such exposi- tions are not wasted, even if they do not bring immediate results Kansas City Star.

English women went without food 9l hours in their efforts to win an opportunity to petition for a chance to vote. If men valued their right to suffrage as much and would spend half as much time trying to find how to vote right, they would not so often be defrauded of their other rights by selfish cliques and rings. And it is not necessary to go outside of Polk county to find just that condition.

At reception in Washington of the Arkansas society to the societit s of the Mississippi. Missouri and Tex as, on June 2, Mir. Pinchot said:
 Everywhere we have found that the Southern people appreciate and support the fundamental principles of the Forest Service, which is to put every piece of land to that use in which it will best serve the inter- ests of the people of the country, whether that be a forest use. an agricultural use. or any other.
 The problems which these forests present are in many respects differ ent from those of other National Forests. do not, however, antici. pate any serious difficulty in dealing with these conditions. The import ant problems are those connected
