SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.

' The freak bill, providing that no theatrical company may in future charge more than $1.50 for admission to any one performance at Arkansas playhouses, and which some member of the General Assembly is preparing to introduce for passage, according to recent Little Rock dispatches, would be freak piece of legislation indeed, if it became law. But there is not much chance for it to become law for the general opinion is that the legislators as rule like a good show and are generally in favor of permitting theatrical companies to fix their own prices.
 A bill of this character was kill ed at the last session of the Arkan- sas legislature It should have been. Why should the state fix price of admission to theaters any more than t should say that merchants cannot charge more than $25 for any one suit of clothes. 1t is the same pro- position. There is nothing compul- cn oh t,tno Ax,y> to demand that anyone should attend the theater. If the average theater goer cannot afford to pay more than $1.50 for the privilege of seeing high class offering at a theater. we'll and good. They can stay away and those who can any many who cannot will see it at $2 per.
 How many good shows-when we say good shows we mean high class roductions-would come to Arkansas cities if there was law fixing the PiiNSs eo oe 0hdi Seu' Dlu you ever go to a big city and witness a per formance, high class bills, for less than $1.50, $2 and in many instances $2.5O? You have to pay for good clothes when you buy them and pay dearly and it usually pays you in the long run to buy something good. Is it not just as reasonable for theatri- cal Companies of merit to charge more than the ordinary companies for their productions?
 Pine Bluffians on last Wednesday night had occasion to see the differ ence between the good and the ordin- ary in the theatrical line. The entire lower floor sold for $2 per and ever, seat was sold. Those who saw tho Merry Widow were we'll pleased The, had paid for something good and hat gotten their moneys worth. The law fixing prices for amusements woult only result in an influX of smalle companies and inferior performance in Arkansas. It is doubtful if tn law would be constitutional.

that under irrigation the land
will be fertile all the time. One

of its dress of flowers, can hardly
conceive of the transformation

one who sees it in bloom, can
hardly believe the transiOrma.

DRESIDENT TAFT has proved to
i the satisfaction of official Wash.

GUS life, even if he does not wade
through Rock creek every rainy Sat
urday afternoon and make 90-mile
horseback rides to show his physical
fitness.
During the past winter the president
has gone through a program, official
and social, that would have left many
younger man gasping for breath. In
spite Of 1t all the president today
looks as if he were in the best of
health, a bit pale from lack of golf
and plenty Of outdoor exercise, but
still in good trim.
Anyone who thinks the president
has an easy time should remember
his daily schedule. He is up before
seven o'clock, and with his physical
director, DR.. Barker, he does some
stunts which serve to give him an
appetite for breakfast.
Mr.. Taft leaves the executive man
sion for his Office shortly after nine
o'clock, and from the time he arrives
until 1870 or o'clock, he is constant
ly with the cabinet or with callers.

If President Taft believes that the
Democrats in the present congress
are going to pass the reciprocity bill
to carry out the Canadian agreement
and then go home and wait for the
regular session Of congress in Decem.
Der before they do anything, he is
very much mistaken
The Democrats declare their inten,

dent and passing his reciprocity meas.
ure just as quick as possible, but they
are not going to stop there. There
was no understanding with the presi.
dent prior to the calling of the ex.
ira session as to what legislation
should be attempted beyond the car
rying out Of the reciprocity compact
Messrs. Clark and Underwood told
the president that it was their pur
pose to revise the tariff It is stated
that the president thoroughly under.
stood the situation, and for this reason
the reports which emanated from At.
lanta that the president expects the
congress to pass reciprocity and then
go home are discounted.

VIZ WASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam has
w more gold In his possession to.
day than he has ever had before in
his life. Treasurer Lee McClung
looked over his balance sheet recent
ly and found the government had
more than $1,OOO,0OO,000 in gold coin,
to say nothing of S126,OOO,OOO in bull
lion. Never before in the history Of
the government has It had so much
gold piled up in it's Golfers
Not only is this a record-breaking
amount for the government to have,
but there is more gold in the treasury
now thaniin the vaults of Great Brit.
ain and France combined, or of Great
Britain and Russia combined.
In other words, this government
has more gold, in gold coin and bul.
lion, than any other two nations.
This vast golden hoard represents
the accumulation Of a long series Of
years, 1t is not ascribed to any par,
ticular financial development Of re-
cent occurrence. BY no means Is all
this gold coin and bullion stored in
Washington. Any burglarious gentle
man who thinks he can tunnel under

that institution is in error The gold

holed plan and a clamor for appro.
priations wherewith to build the
ships.
The main battery of the new ships
will consist of ten 14-inch guns, while
the secondary battery will have over
a score Of five-inch weapons. The
guns Of the secondary battery are in.
tended for repelllng torpedo attack.
These guns have q range of five miles
and an extreme rapidity of fire, each
being capable of firing Is shells a
minute. With IL available for a
broadside that would mean a rain of
1870 shells a minute, which could be
concentrated on any attacking flotilla.
While it is tnconceivable that any
fiotilla would have the hardihood to
make a daylight attack on any vessel
of this type, yet it is interesting to
calculate the volume of fire that
could be directed against attack by
dreadnought of the New York type,
Suppose that the destroycrs of an at.
tacking fotilla had a speed of 80
knots. They would then be able to
traverse the fiVe-mile danger zone"
in the space Of ten minutes. But in
that lurid ten minutes the guns Of the
dreadnought would be able to hurl
1900 shells at her foes.

Although Mr.. Taft probably likes

ed by Mr.. Roosevelt of not attending
social functions outside the White
House except those given by the vice

Mr.. Taft has frequently attended re.
ceptions or balls given in honor of
his daughter, Helen, a debutante of
this season. He has also lent his
presence at many other functions OF
the season at the homes Of friends and
at several public affairs. In addition
to all this social activity the presi.
dent has consented to make dozens of
speeches and to after many ban.

ONE of the last acts of the last con-
" gress was to make provisions for
two of the most powerful fighting ma
chimes in the United States navy. The
limit Of cost and time of completion
Of the dreadnought Florida was ex-
tended and additional funds were vOt-
ed for the new New York and the
Texas, the keel of which will be laid
in a few months. Each vessel will
cost S6,40O,OOO and 5000 skilled work
men will be employed in the New
York navy yard for the next three
years in the work of construction.
The dreadnought type is one of
very recent date. Through her alli-
ance with Japan Great Britain was
the first to learn the lesson of the all
big-gun ship, and Immediately set
about solidifying it in steel. Some of
our own progressive navy officers had
earlier read the lesson in the war
with Spain and plans Of the U. S. S.
Feasible and the u s. S. Possible had
been drawn and pigeon-holed. Then
when the British Dreadnought went
