PROTECTION AND PROTECTION

The man who fails to draw clear
sharp. and well marked difference be-
tween a protection that produces plu-
tocrats, who in time become dictators
Of law in the interest of the favored
few rather than the struggling many
and that protection which enables an
American citizen to earn an honest
living in the prosecution OF an num-
BILE and a legitimate business, must be
color-bind. The one form OF pro-
lection is as black as midnight when
no star shines in the heavens above
Ms. while the other in contrast is as
white as unsullied snow. The owners
of the few queerbracho factories ~
Virginia are not likelyt to invade Wash
inpton to command listening Sena-
tors. nor are the growers OF peanuts
likely to become purse proud.
The eloquent voice OF John
Daniel will still ring out as a trumpet
against the monopolists who would be
masters, and at the same time ring
out with old-time fervor and force IN
the interest of the coatless laborers out
in Gods free country and open sun
shine who would provide for those
of their own households, and at the
same time contribute to the genera
GOOD of fellow-man. Yes, there is
protection and a protection, and the
one is as far removed from the othel
as is the East from the West.

of learning would do better to put the

 Commissioners.
WAS FAVORED BY GOVERNOR

Little Rock, Ark. April o. The Patterson state capitol bill, providing for the discharge of contractors, architect and com mission, passed the house late this afternoon by vote of 46 to SS. A demonstration followed the passage of the measure, which brought to sudden close ten days fight. Immediately after it's passage, or as soon as order could be restored, the House reconsidered the vote by which the bill passed, and tabled that motion, thereby making It im- possible to ever recall the meas ure. The bill has already passed the senate, and now goes to the governor for his signature.
 The Patterson bill IS the ad- minlstration measure. Out of the 800 bills introduced at this session of the legislature 1t has held the most position on the legislative stage ever since its introduction, Jan. 2, nearly three months ago. The fight or the closing day of the five-da ' battle was watched with intense interest by a packed lobby ant gallery.
 The provisions of the bill, 1T brief, are as follows:
 l. The present capitol com missioners are relieved from duty and the architect and the con tractors are discharged. 1 ,. An arbitration commisslor is created.
 }. The commission is empow. cred to adopt it's own methods O procedure.
 I. The commission IS to fl, it's report in the office of the sec retary of state. and copy witl the president of the Senate ant the speaker of the House of Rep resentatives.
 5. Witnesses testifyiug falsel' before the commission may b punished as in cases of perjury Q. The expenses of the com mission shall be paid by the stat r treasurer.
 !. The governor is authorize
 to employ counsel to represen l the state before the commission 8. The faith of the state i
 pledged to abide by and carry ir to effect the report of the com s mission.

 ENTHUSIASM. A HOUSING MEETING HELD
 FRIDAY NIGHT. PROPOSITION WAS ACCEPTED. It Only Remains Now for Spring. dale to Raise the Money and

PROPOSITION WAS ACCEPTED.
It Only Remains Now for Spring

A rousing meeting Was held at the Auditorium Friday night to consider the interurban rail- road project. which was attend ed hy goodly number of people from the town and surrounding country.
 A big bunch of interurban ''rooters' came down from Ben tonville to be present at the meet ing and to tell Springdale how much good an interurban road would dc for Us, and how glad they would be to be connected with us by railroad The fol- lowing gentlemen were with the Bentonville delegation: Mayor Morris, w. H. Crossland. Sr., w II. Crossland, IT,, Jas. Blocker, II. W. Gipple, John Stokes, George Jackson, Ed. Masoner, w. T. Maxwell, Will Haxton Martin Brown, F.. s. Wilks, C. NJ. Rice, Chas. Cunnyngham, Henry Lewkens and II. l.. Cross. Gentry was represented by Dr. C. A. Rice, C. C. Lale and o. w. Patterson.
 The meeting was called to or der by Mayor Lane, and the speech-making began with an address by Mayor Morris of Ben tonville, who probably more than any other one single individual, has worked harder to get the in. terurban project on foot. Talks were also made by Messrs. Clip pie, Cross, Rice, Maxwell ant Crossland of Bentonville, ane Dr. Rice and o. w. Patterson oi Gentry.
 All the gentlemen were enthus iastie over the prospects fol building the road and the result. that would follow. Gentry peo pie have already raised practical ly all the stock required of then to secure the road, and 1t wa stated that Bentonville peopl have all their stock in sight. l C. w. Pool and.

 in favor of the project.

 A committee Was then appoint ed to act for Springdale in the matter, this committee consisting of l. T. Lane. C. W. Pool. $. N. Haxton, Dr. r. E. Young. W. c. Ownbey. Chas. Hewitt and Carl Ownbey. This committee met with the promoters Saturday morning and signed up the con- tract for the road i'll due form.
 A committee from Bentonville was to come down yesterday, and with the assistance of the local committee, begin canvass of the community to raise the required amount of stock.
 The News printed i'll last issue an outline of the proposition. and 1t IS not necessary To again repeat It, as We believe all are familiar with It. However, III brief. It is proposed 10 build the road to Springdale from Bentonville If this town will subscribe for stock III the enterprise to the amount ot S30, GOO. half of which is to be Tn cash and the other half in ma terial, right of way, etc. or the cash subscriptions, one fourth is to be paid now and the remainder Tn three equal payments in three, six and nine months.
 Many inquiries have been made as to which way the road would come, but We understand that is a matter that cannot be decided until after the survey k made.
 The proposition k HOW square up to Springdale people. The time for talk is past. If we want the road-or, rather ii we get the road, as il iS presumed We all want it-it Is up to us to come across with our share of the money.

Sprlngdale Is getting into it's stride. It is responding to the beckoning finger Of enterprise. A large number of representative men from Benton County visited Us last Friday night and address ed meeting of citizens Ill the Auditorium. Attracted by the natural facilities Springdale has to offer an Interurban Railway, the president of the Arkansas Cooperative Construction Co, several members oi his staff, the editor of "The Sun, two mem- bers of the Benton County Bar and other business men of Ben tonville and Gentry discussed with our citizens the merits of the Electric Railway now a>sum- ing shape in Benton County. Facts, figures and few fancies were presented, the fancies to be- come realities when the road k completed. Lack of space for bids giving detailed report of the addresses from various stand points. A Springdale council man responded and there was nothing more to do but appoint a committee to take up the proposi- ton to build the road into this town. The committee was ap- pointed and IS at work today with the president of the Con- struction Co. and treasurer of the Surety Co, getting the necessary subscription, which secured, will be followed immediately by sur veyors of the line.
 Saturday afternoon MT. Gipple addressed the Horticultural So. ciety and committee was ap- pointed to act jointly with the citizens committee in raising the amount required by subscription to the capital stock. Mir. David 
 Richer is chairman of the com mittee.
 Springdale has other enterpris es of importance in prospect, but the interurban road overshadow. all other undertakings. A gooe many avuncular suggestions ar, being offered about the route operating the road, future possi bilities. etc., but all agree as t. the commercial significance |, Springdale of this line. GAin i, measured by loss, night by depti and the benefit of the road ma be estimated by the loss to us | the road Is built and We are not oi the line. Even the real estat, l men would leave us.
