CHANGE WOULD NOT
 HELP PINE BLUFF
TURNS DOWN PETITION OF CAM. DEN CITIZENS FOR NEW
 SCHEDULE.
Petition Was PrOtested-Wanted the
 Train to Leave Argenta at 1:45 F. M.

The Arkansas Railroad Commission has issued an order, in which it de- nies and dismisses the petitions of the citizens of Camden, asking that the train, Camden to Argenta, be chang ed. The Commission held that if the change was made it would be detri- mental to the business interests of Pine Bluff and other cities. The or der follows:
 In repetition from citizens of Cam
 den, Arkansas, asking for change
 in the schedule of passenger train
 No. of the St. Louis Southwestern
 Railway between Argenta, Arkan-
 sas and Camden, Arkansas.
 On March 9th, 1912 the commits sion after due and legal notice took up and considered petition from citizens of Camden, Ouachita county, Arkansas, asking that the leaving time of passenger train No. ,, now scheduled to leave Argenta at 3:20 p. m., be changed so as to leave Ar genta at 1:45 p. m.
 A large number of protests were filed with the commission protesting against any change in the present schedule of the accommodation pas senger train No. , of the Cotton Belt Railway, said protests being from citizens of England, Dewitt, Stutt- gart, Fordyce, Rison, Scotts and the Board of Trade and the Chamber of Commerce Little Rock, Arkansas.
 And now on this the 1st day of May 1912. the matter coming on for furth- CT hearing and the commission being of the opinion that the present sche- dule of the accommodation passen- ger train between Argenta and Cam den furnishes convenient means to the people of a large section of the state enabling them to visit Pine Bluff. Little Rock and Argenta and giving them ample time, tositransact their bqsi ness in those cities and re turn home the same day.l And the commission being of the further opin- ion that to shorten thess time Yof pas senger train No. 5 between Argenta snd camden would destroy the use-

fitness of this train and work a hard ship on the general public, and would also be detrimental to the business interests of Pine Bluff, Little Rock and Argenta and also to the large territory served by this train.
 It is, therefore, on this day ordered by the Railroad Commission of Ark ansas that the petition herein asking that accommodation passenger train No. of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway leave Argenta at 1:45 D, m., instead of 3:20 D. m., he, and the same is hereby denied and dismissed.

 FOR FLETcHER'S c A ASToRIA UNIQUE COMPLAINT
 IN CIRCUIT COURT
Ranking Company Objects to Paying
 Tax for "DeaIing in BOnds."

Hot Springs, May S.-The WesloW Cooperative Company, local con- cern doing a general banking busl- ness, are plaintiffs in Circuit Court in a suit to restrain County Collector s. A. Buchanan from collecting from them a tax for Dealing in Eonds, stocks, etc." The banking company admits that when it was incorporat- ed it contemplated engaging in the business of buying bonds and stocks
 and dealing in them, but finding this branch of the business unpro- fitable it did not enter it, and sim ply because their incorporation pa pers anticipated that they would deal in these securities does not mean that they are forced to unless they wish, and if they do not then the tax IS not collectable.

SAYS MEAT INSPECTION
 LAWS WERE NULLIFIED
MRS. CAROLINE BARTLETT CRANE MAKES CHARGES BEFORE
 MOSS COMMITTEE.
Congressman Nelson Will Show That Heads of Department Were Cog
 nizant of Gross Violations.

Washington, May 8.-The judiciary cbmmittee took up the charges against Robert w. Archibald, of the Commerce Court, and the so-called Moss committee began consideration of the charge made by Representative Nelson of Wisconsin against the ad- ministration of the meat inspection laws by the Department of Agricul- ture.
 Edward J. Williams, of Scranton. Pa., was the first witness before the judiciary committee and told of the alleged negotiations in which Judge Archibald was interested for an op- tion on certain valuable timbers and the now famous culm pile in Pennsyl- vania.
 Representative Nelson, before the Moss committee, declared it would be his purpose to show that Secre- tary Wilson, Solicitor McCabe and Dr. A. D. Melvin, of the Department of Agriculture, had been cognizant of a gross violation of meat laws and that much impure meat was handled in interstate commerce.
 Late this afternoon Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane, upon whose investi- gation the charges are said to have been based, began her testimony mak- ing the charge that meat inspection laws had been nulliffed by various executive orders issued from the De- partment of Agriculture.
 Representative Lee, of Pennsyl- vania, introduced bill to require all national banking associations to print once a week for three weeks, the statements which are furnished at regular intervals to the comptroller of the currency. F

HINTS ON GARDENING.
". TENDING THE GARDEN
Ey GEORGE FITCH
{ufhoy of at Good Old Sipdsh"

In the cool Of the dawn Is the time
to tend your garden. Rise with the sun
dress hastily. sharpen your hoe, and
merry roundeIay. Two hours Of work
will make q new man Of you and will
often change your garden 50 that Its
best friend would not know It,
A few days after you have planted
your seeds, you will notice that the
ground Is covered with tender green
sprouts. Some Of these are vegetables,
and some are weeds. but which IL which
will puzzle you. Do not wait for time
to tell you, however. Hoe neat burrows
across the garden and leave nicely bank
ed burrows Of plants. They may be rad
ishes, or they may be pigwsed, but the
neatness OF yeur garden viii NIL your
neighbor with jealousy. and he will rise
at 9 a m. In order to compete with you.
Young and inexperienced gardeners
often dig up the seeds IN their gardens to
see how they are sprouting. This Is q
waste Of time Any medium sized hen
will do It for you.
Watering the garden is most impor-
tant duty, and must not be neglected.
About tine first of June. Nature goes on
the watering Job. except spasmodicaliy,
and 1t becomes necessary TO initiate
thunderstorm each evening with large
tin sprinkler, your hose having burst
at point which makes Il impossible for
you to reach the plants. To water your
garden, dress in bathing suit. take two
large tin sprinklers, and soak the ground
thoroughly The plants will not mind
II much. and the weeds which monopo-
lire all the moisture. win grow 80 rspid-

years ago Senator Edmunds. whose re-
gard for the rights and privileges of
the Senate was as acute as Mr.. Baoon's.
reported thit an Attorney General
should be censured for failure to supply
certain information desired by the SEN
ate, and his report was sustained by the
Judiciary Committee, of which he was
chairman. There is precedent therefore.
for Mr.. Bacon's protest in the present
case.
But the procedure which Mr. Bacon
approves, and which he cites in the case
of Secretary Alger, is not altogether sat-
isfactory. When Mr.. Alger felt that
certain, information ought not be given
in response to a Senate resolution, he
joumeyed to the Capitol, called some
Senator's into the marble room, ex-
planned the situation to them in pa
tent manner. and then departed. If this
is to be the method followed, we shall
see procession of Cabinet officers
moving toward the Senate, and the ante
rooms will be enlivened by the spectacle
of government officials holding earnest
conversation with overinquisitive Sena-
tors. II this is the way Senator Bacon
wants public business conducted, he is
entitled to his point of view; but we
submit with. due humility that it will
not appeal either to the Cabinet officers
or to the public as wholesome pro-
ceeding.

The Anacostia Flats.

The Chamber of Commerce is to be
congratulated on its attitude regarding
the Anaoostia River condemnation prof.
ect, as reflected in the report of its
subcommittee to consider Senate bill
No. 5245, which is the latest measure
before Congress to bring about this
sorely needed improvement.
That the bill contains a radical de-
parture from the ''half-snd-half' prin-
ciple under which the District is
financed is the chief defect in it The
subcommittee brings this fact out in
sharp relief, and thus crystallizeS an
opposition which had hitherto made it.
self only vaguely and intangibly felt.
This is not the hour for Congress to
evade, or to ignore, the rigid taxation
system of the District, for minor lapses
from the 'half-and-half'' principle at
present certainly will lead to still
greater ones in the future, and ulti-
mately result in its entire breakdown.
When Congress proposes, therefore,
to pay the immediate cost of the Ana
costa condemnation proceedings out of
the revenues of the District of Colum-
bia, although later to be offset by the
benefits when collected, it is inviting
the opposition of the city. The sub
committee also does well to point out
the weakness of the plan by which bene-
fits are to be assessed against only one
third of the area of the District. It
may be argued that the Anacostia con-
demnation project will be of the highest
value to a limited number of tax
payers, but there is no logical plan by
which such limitation can be worked
out. Ii is as practicable to assess Rock
Creek Park improvements against only
the abutting property owners

Mr.. T. C. Howe on the Capital.

The business interests of this city
have protested more than once against
the development of Washington along
purely artistic, political, and residential
lines. The Capital has long since passed
the day when it rightly could be re-
garded as an artificial city," created
by government fat. That certain Con-
gressionaI interests have done their best
to perpetuate this view is well known,
and the public at large thinks of Wash
ington as a political metropolis, and as
nothing else.
Now there steps into the breach Fred
erick c. Howe, formerly of Cleveland,
and now of the Russell Sage Foundation
in New York City, who tells us, in eff
feet, that commercial initiative of any
type should be smothered promptly
wherever it shows itself in the city. He
tells us of the perfect institutionalism
Of the German city, holds it before us
as the highest example of city build
ing, decries all the individualistic en-
ergy of the average American munich
pality as unworthy and archaic. There
is nothing new in all this, but there is
a certain irony when it is rendered as
advice to the people of the City of
Washington
At the present time Washington is
making greater strides in business
growth than ever before, and it is
to be hoped the time is not far
distant when sant and logical de-
velopment of manufactures will be
reality. Washington has certain
definite commercial advantages which
are appealing strongly to capital both
here and in New York. There is no
reason why government control of busi-
ness interests here should be made more
stringent than it is at present Any step
in that direction at this time will be
distinctly retrogressive. and will dis
courage that development which has,
architecturally speaking, transformed the
commercial and residential sections of
Washington within a decade.

Effect of Primaries.

The effect of the news from New
York and Indiana on the primary re-
suits in other States is bound to favor
the successful candidate, but what ef-
feet it will have upon the action of the
legislatures in those Commonwealth
where an effort is being made to secure
the preferential primary cannot be safely
predicted.
North Dakota put itself on record in
no uncertain terms for Mr.. La Toilette
in primary about which there has not
been a suspicion of crookedness. New
York does the same thing for Mr.. Taft
and all kinds of charges are made by
the friends of the unsuccessful candi-
date.
The progressiyes of the Middle West
and the East are not making the ad-
vance they expected, and necessarily are
disgruntled.
Will they carry their discomfort to the
polls? Is ii contagious, and will the
rank and file be infected? II it spreads,
becomes an epidemic, then the whole
G. o. P is in danger The talk now being
heard is TO the effect that Mr.. Roose-
welt will bolt the convention in Chicago
if it looks bad for him II he does, then,
indeed, the Republican party will be in
a bad way. The colonel has shown
himself in the past to be good winner; !;
now is the time to show he can be
equally as game a loser. The game is
still young. the Rough Rider has lots of
vitality, and The Herald will be some
what surprised if he turns out quitter.
Instead of talking about boiling, we look
to see him make another charge like
that of San Juan. II he does, he will
rehabiIitste himself in the affections of
many of his old friends.
In the meantime the Democrats are
chuckling; rather. they are laughing in
ghoulish glee at the predicament of their
opponents. They can afford to; for al
though Mr.. Taft was successful in New
York. the reports of the primaries leave
a bad taste.
