JUDGE PENNEWHEs ADDRESS.

- HIEF JUSTICE PENNEwILL is an enter
- tanning orator and everything that he says
is worthy of consideration. His address before
the judges and lawyers at Atlantic City the other
day shows that the Chief Justice is a student of
current events. The unrest and discussion ram
pant throughout the country have made an i'm
preston on him.
The address was notable from the fact that il
was not highly academic and theoretical argu-
ment on the beauties of the legal profession and
the exalted position that the courts occupy things
that most lawyers are fond of talking about
Judge Pennew recognizes the fact that the eyes
OF the people are on the courts and that they will
be criticised when they fall in the parance of busi-
ness, to make good"
oome time ago large economic association
with headquarters in Boston sent letters of in
curry TO their hundreds of members asking them
what topic was Of the greatest concern to the
country today. A large plurality of the ansU ers
SAID the courts legal procedure and the laws DELAY
we're the chief topic.
There has been great deal of unfair criticism
OF the courts and there has been much that is fair
But it is true that intelligent business men of the
present day avoid the courts when possible They
shun them They want to keep out of the courts
because OF the expense, the delay and doubts as
to the kind of justice they will get from the hands
of the average jury
Then again many people think that the courts
have not kept up with modern development, that
the courts with their precedents are living in the
age of taow candles while the business com
munty is living under the electric light. For in
stance, in regard to industrial conditions, the re-
latons between capital and labor many persons be-
lieve that the courts draw their views from the
age when the relations of employer and employe
were vastly different from what they are today.
Big factories and the concentration of industry
have taken the place of the little factories with
few employees of years ago This change has been
described by economic writer's as the industrial
revolution and such writer's do not think that the
courts have taken sufficient cognizance of the
change
What the Chief Justice said about receiverships
is interesting How many business men look
upon receiverships with dread, fearing that the
assets of the debtors will be dissipated in enor-
nous court charges. in high fees for receivers in
endless delays and all that

THE VAMPIRE oF TRADE.

HOW big business operates was shown in the
4 Il testimony regarding the organization of the
Sugar Trust before the Congressional Investigat-
ing Committee at Washington yesterday
here was a combination of several companies
by Mr. Havemeyer, and he got some 100000
of stock, which represented not an investment of
any kind, but a capitalization of possible earn
ings as stated by Mr. Post the witness II was
really, as Mr.. Post admitted, watered stock. and
on Il very large earnings we're made by the Sugar
trust
The people foot the bill by paying such a price
for sugar as to onable the trust make large divi
dends on water stock. Then the Sugar Trust
grips Congress and by favors in the way of duties
is enabled to swell its profits.
The Sugar Trust deal is but an example of how
most trusts are operated, and many public ser
vice corporations are capitalized in the same way

In calling attention 10 a pathetic side
of the vacation season.
In thousands Of homes oil over the
country there are household pets,
such as dogs and cats and birds. and
as many of these homes are closed
during the summer, or at least for
several weeks the pets are in most
instances left TO shift for themselves
For the sake of the songs there are
neighbors who will take charge Of the
canaries during the absence of their
owners, but for the dogs and the cats
there are, as a rule, only harsh words
and buffetings from the neighbors.

abused, are indeed objects Of pity. II
would be much more humane for the
owners OF these pets to put them 10

serting them goes on year after year.

For instance a public service corporation secures
practically free from a community franchise Ii
invests certain amount OF money in buildings
and equipment, but the value of franchise is
put in so much capital The people are then
forced to pay rates on the total value of the fran
chise plus the equipment. In other words the peo-
pie give a franchise and then they are compelled
to pay high rate for so doing.
Is il any wonder that there is dissatisfaction and
unrest when the average man considers this mat
ter of watered stock for il really means that capi-
tai gets much larger return its investment
than IT should have, because the capital is not
real capital bur fictitious.
Yet when this fraud of watered stock, for il is
little less than a fraud, is exposed and the
people cry for a remedy by government interfer-
enece big business looks aghast and mocks the
people, and says that those who are opposed TO
being mulcted in high prices in order to paw divi-
dends on watered stock demagogues and are
trying to injure widows and orphans
How much OF the alleged capital in big business
IS tangible and real representing the result of
past labor stored away for future use-for that
IS what capital really is-and how much of il is
fiction and fraud or at best iguratve capital?
We fancy that one of the causes of our indus
trial unrest and disturbances is this large amount
of fictitious capital which absorbs the earnings Of
the people and Expresses them.
The old economists used TO say that the factors
of production are land labor and capital. Thev
discuss what the earnings of capital should be,
but that capital is assumed TO be real and not
bogus. When bogus capital puts forth its rama
clous hand like the bandit or highwayman and
seizes gains that do not belong TO it, there is
wrong adjustment and distress, an unbalancinp
OF the economic system.
This watered capital called the capitalization
OF possible earnings" is the vampire that sucks
the life blood OF the arteries of legitimate trade

Why They Oppose Good Roads.

Why They Oppose Good Roads.
Kansas City Star.
The Missouri man who sold his
farm because his neighbors had voted
to build a rock road in front of it.
which would force him to have his
horses shod, is typical of many who
oppose good roads.
The process of reasoning on tho
part Of this man is not more absurd
than the familiar argument that good
roads are intended only for the own
ers of motor cars; or that improved
highways would answer no other pur-
pose than to increase the taxes on
farm lands. And a good many Mis-
souri, and Kansas farmers have ad-
vanced those arguments against good
roads.
A Kansas man writing to The Star
recently declared that he would favor
good roads If the State Legislature
would pass law prohibiting motor
cars from using them.
An Oklahoma farmer protests
against good roads not only because
they would force him TO keep his
horses shod. but because driving on
hard roadbed would wear out his
wagons and farm machinery.
But then, twenty-five years ago the
people who believe in letting we'll
enough alone" were obieeting to rail-
roads because they would compel the
payment of rent for pasturing cows
which otherwise might run at large
without danger of being killed by
steam "injuns."

The Democrats members of City Council have
become desperate as a result of the tangle over
the city finances. Why should Council usurp the
functions of the City Auditor and City Treasurer?
One would think that as the Democrats are to re-
tire from control of the city it would make no
difference TO them how the bond money is dis
posed of. that they would be content to pass their
woes along TO the Republicans The only reason
able explanation of Councils conduct is that the
Democratic members are fearful that in the wind
up their administration will appear much worse
than the people have supposed it to be- But il is
serious question whether Councils action is not
illegal and the courts may have to be called in.

PETTY THIEVES BUSY.

Little Rock, June 15.-There have been fewer burglaries and robberies in Little Rock during the last few months, although there are the usual number of petty thieveries. The po- lice have just arrested two negro girls, II and 13 years old, who have been engaged in robbing residences in the west end for several weeks. But they went only after rings, and searched until they found some sort of jewelry, making the rooms look like cyclone had struck them. The police have re- covered three of the rings, but they do not know what to do with the thieves, as they are too young for the penitentiary and there is no reform school for negroes.

POULTRY RAISING.

c. w. Wilson, Agricultural Exten- sion Department.)
 Poultry raising, which should be one of the most important industries in Arkansas, is one of the most neg lected. II properly managed, poputry raising can be made, one of thssmost profitable industries on the farm: A s rule the poultry on the farm is turned over to the house wife and Little assistance is given her by the farmer except to hurl a stone or cob al the chickens when they get in his way.
 With everything against her and with poor birds and worse equipment the housewife usually keeps the ta. ble supplied with eggs and occasion ally a nice fat hen, besides paying most of the grocery bills and other incidental expense around the home.
 Why not give the hen a fair show and see what she can really do? If many of our so called farmers" who devote all their time and attention
 o the raising of cotton and corn, would get a few good hens of some standard variety, give them the prop CT care and attention and keep d record of the income from these; then keep a record of the income from a cotton or corn crop, not forgetting to take into consideration that the hens Will produce much valuable manure while the cotton or corn will take from the soil much valuable plant food-compare these records at the end of the year and no doubt the hen would command more attention than she does at the present time.

ARKANSAS BOYS CORN CLUBS

During March and April the agri- cultural college at Fayetteville in cooperation with the ROCK lslanu railroad company ran a special car, holding institutes and visiting with the farmers and members of the boys Corn Clubs along the line of the Rock Island from Mansfield in the west ern part Of the state to Forrest City in the eastern part, making day stops at over 30 towns and talking to sev- eral thousand farmers and school children. s9oils
 The car was furnished by the Rock Island and transportation free of charge-the equipment, charts, seed testing box, Babcock test, boil weevil exhibit, pamphlets from the station on correspondence course, Boys Corn Club, etc, were furnished by the col lege
 The subjects discussed were meth ods of controlling boil weevil, potato growing, potato houses, dairying, se- lecting and testing seed corn, better
 
 ing, building up the sill, Boys Corn Clubs, correspondence courses in agriculture, Girls Tomato Club, for age crops, cooperation. results of de- monstration work and on the west ern end sweet potato associations were organized Special lectures were given at each town to the sch either in tAe car or at the school building.
 Besides Messrs. Mobley and Wilson of the extension department of the college, who had charge of the car, were MT Payne state secretary { the farmers union. an expert on sweet potato growing, A. D. McNair ofti L. $. Department, Mr. Lon Frazier who is establishing cream stations for creameres of Little Rock, and the county demonstration agents along the line.
 The results from this trip are ev1. dent along the line, especially be- tween Mansfield and Little Rock Railroad men and others who ire qIent this line have noticed the change. More land was broken early, more horse power was used more modern blows are being sold along the line; better live stock for breed ing purposes has been bought, in many cases breeding clubs were organized and good animals ordered before the car would leave town
 The operation of this car isi re- garded as a great success and much Of the work in the future will be car ried on this way. Much credit is due MT. Chas. B. Sloat, assistant general passenger agent of the Rock Island, for the success of this car. He was always ready to do anything in his power to help the trip.
