 That the department is willing to aid in every way possible to get this line of farming started in Arkansas is evidenced by the fact that a cam paign is now being made in that di- rection. c. o.

EXPORTS not INCREASING.

Products of both farm and fac
tory exported, when compared
with those Of last year, show a
marked gain in the February ex-
port report just completed by the
Bureau Of Statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor. Corn,
flour, lard, bacon, hams and
shoulders, cotton seed oil. and
oleo oil show larger values ex-
ported in February, 1911, than
in the same month last year;
though certain other foodstuffs,
including wheat, fresh beef, coffee
and cattle, show slightly lower
figures in 1911 than in 1910. In
raw materials for use in manu-
featuring, leaf tobacco and cot
ton: the most important exports
ofthis class, show large advances,
this being especially true of cot
ton, Of which the value of exports
in February. 1911, is IS million
dollars, against 25 million in
February. 1910. In manufactures
a very large proportion OF arti-
cles forming the two groups
Manufactures for further use
in manufacturing" and "Manu
factures ready fer consumption" ;"
show higher figures in February
of the current year than in Feb
ruary, 1910. Cotton cloths, cot.
ton wearing apparel, builders
hardware and tools, scientific in
struments, automobiles, lumber,
naval stores: Illuminating oil.
lubricating oil. naphtnas, manu-.
factures Of india rubber, books,
wire, metal working machinery,
typewriters, electrical machin-
cry: structural iron and steel,
furniture Of wood, and patent
medicines show larger totals than
in the corresponding month last
year: while copper in pigs. bars:
ETC., agricultural implements,
upper leather, sole leather: and
steel rails show declines. The
articles which show no material
change in exports during Feb
ruary, when compared with Feb
ruary of last year, are boots and
shoes, sheets and plates of iron
and steel. oil cake and meal.
parafin, lard compounds and re-
fined sugar, though in nearly all
these cases the figures for the
eight months ending with Feb
ruary are larger than in the cor
responding period of last year.

THE RACKET GOES MERRILY ON.

The lawyers of the Union bar
seem to blow hot and cold. They
petltioned the chief justice to ap-
- 1T Ernest Moore, ESQ. to hold
,,ecial term of court in that
oaanty, and before the recon-
Ealdation was communicated to
TIE governor, the members Of
gae Union bar Withdrew the
name Of Mr.. Moore; then, when
Mr.. Moore was recommended by
the chief justice, the governor
in language hot and strong, de-
clined to make the appointment.
In one letter to the chief magis-
trate the Union lawyers ask for
the appointment of the attorney
from Lancaster, but they follow
on some weeks later with the
announcement they had with
drawn their first suggestion, and
recommended others. Just what
will be the outcome of all of this
row with the supreme court can
not be foretold: but to a onlooker
itwould seem that the court would
undertake to enforce it's recon-
mendations. Is the court power
less to make the governor COM
ply with it's demands? Shall
this conflict between the execu-
tive and the chief executive con-
tinue indefinitely?
Our sympathies are with the
governor in his efforts to break
up the practice of lawyers de
manding special terms of court
whenever it suits their conven-
ience to have them, at the same
time, we cannot sympathize with
the governor in his apparent at
titude of defiance, and apparent
contempt for everything the
chief justice does. In our judg-
lnent, the effect of all of this
turmoil can only create a dis
respect for the enforcement of
law, and to hold the mandates
Of the courts in the contempt of
those who are lawlessly inclined.
We fear that unless something
is done to stop the present Stu
alton there will be brought on a
very confusing, if not sad con-
dition.
A distinguished citizen of this
State attributes the governors
course to the s'nagging of the
newspapers, and, while we
know some of the newspapers
we're very bitter in opposing
him, yet we had hoped when he
took the oath of Office he would
be big enough to rise above the
injuries done him in the cam
paign, and prove even to his
enemies, his worth as an official.
Things are fast getting deplor-
ably Notifying.

STOP THIS ABUSE.

We regret to see the News and
Courier, usually conservative,
indulging in the harsh language
it's editorial comment on the re-
fusal of the governor to sign the
investigating Act contains. Char
acterizing the governor as ''the
pusilanimous blusterer that is"
does not commend itself to peo-
pie who are disposed to be fair.
We are not championing Gov
ernor Blease's cause, nor do we
of some of his acts, but
at the same time we do not pro-
pose to damn him for everything
be SAYS and does, nor are we to
impugn all Of his motives. He
decided not to sign the investi-
eating Act which was his right:
was it his right also to
refuse to place tie investigation
in the power of partisans of those
to be Investigated, if he believed
they were partisans. Personally
we believe the Senators named
by the President of the Senate
would have performed their duty
impartially but the governor not
so believing, on what ground we
know not. had the right to save
the expense Of such an investi-
cation, hence we think it unwise
and unjust to villify him for do
ing that which he had a consti
tutional right to do. After all
that is said and done, the people
are to Judge Governor Blease by
his record, aud their minds should
not be poisoned by the abusive
epithetS Of newspapers

John Black will not have to pay
the fine of $4,000 imposed upon
him by the Communication of his
sentence, as the governor on last
Friday gave to him full pardon.
Had this pardon been given at
first instead Of a Communication it
could have been reasoned that
the governor regarded the con-
viction of Black as unjust when
it is taken into consideration that
those he was charged with were
acquitted. Black was charged
with having consplred with
others to defraud the State:
and it is a reasonable conclusion
that in order to convict Of con-
spiracy more than one person
must be guilty. The only sur
prise about this pardon is that it
did not come at first.

In the Federal court in New
York last Thursday Judge Noyes
refused to quash the indictments
against the ':cotton pool" and
he ruled that the cornering of a
product does not constitute a
violation Of the Sherman trust
law, unless it can be shown that
the cornering would be to re-
strain or obstruct inter state
traffic. The s:cotton pool'' had
much to do with forcing the price
of cotton out of the manipula
tions Of the bears, with the result
that the staple brought a high
price, but what these spectators
will do this year none can foresee:
they are just as liable to get on
the other side and press the price
down, itdepends altogether which

The investigation at Chatta-
nooga in the Federal court in the
coca-cola case has developed a
variety of opinions as to what
coca.cola contains, some experts
say it contains a poisonous drug.
ard others declare it is not true.
We believe there is something in
it which is as habIt-forming as
opium. o. liquor. and il drunk to
excess will produce harm to the
human system. Should the gov
ernment decide against coca-cola
there will be a heavy tax put
upon it, but should the decision
be otherwise the manufacturers
VIII get the greatest advertising,
and the consumption will be
more than ever before.

days, and the carriers are also
required for the accommodation
of the public to keep their win
dows open. This is what the gov
ernment is willing to discontinue
if the patrons of the Office desire it.
The tendency is to stop the hand
ling Of mails on Sunday. In the
smaller towns where there is no
carrier system the patrons can. If
they so desire, get the postal de
partment to do away with Q Sun.
day delivery. In our opinion, such
a move would work q hardship
on many,and as there is no COM
pulsion for persons to go to the
post office for their mail on Sun
days it should make no difference
to them who goes for mail.
