This country's chief commercial

honest business; and there can be no
certainty under our present business

laws which will let honest business
know what it can do on the one hand
and keep out OF the pockets of the
people the criminal fingers Of lawless
interests on the other hand.

Chicago, March 15.-All pickpock-
cts who are arraigned before municip-
al Judge Reitler during the next few
months will be released on their prom
Use not to return to Chicago before
next fall. This is what the Judge told
Frank Dean. an alleged pickpocket
in releasing him today.
1T is difficult to catch you fellows
red handed and you know it and l
know It," said the Judge. I'm going
to release you on the condition that
you leave Chicago and remain away
until next fall. BY that time the big
events Of the year. the convention
and the aviation meet. will be over
and the public will not be in so much
danger. I'll serve all pickpockets
who are brought before me during
the spring and summer in the same
way"
Judge Reitler says the coming of
the pickpocket to Chicago is a surer
sign of spring than the arrival of the
robin. Pickpockets go south in the
winter.

In an effort to bring about competi-

lines, the Covington bill is most drastic
in its provisions regarding direct and

absolutely prohibit any railroad from
exerting control over any competing

WHO WILL SETTLE 1T?

A rather delicate and sensitive
question has been raised for the
supreme court of Arkansas to set
It's. The proposed Amendment No.
IA, for the recall of all elective of
ficers, received II, $40 votes in the
recent election and only 58,721
votes were cast against it, giving
it majority of 1925. Before the
adoption of the Initiative and Re-
ferendum it required a majority
of all the votes cast in an election
to adopt constitutional amend
ment, and under that rule 1906
votes were necessary to adopt in
the recent election.
It is claimed by some that under
the |. & r. the above rule is chang
ed and that if more voters vote
for an amendment than vote
against it, the amendment is
adopted.
The supreme court will be call
ed upon to decide this question,
and here is the point: The courts,
as a rule, as well as the legal pro-
fession generally, are opposed to
the recall. The supreme court judi
ges will be disqualified to pass up
on the question, as the courts de-
cision will affect the members of
the court personally. Practically
every lawyer in the state is oppos-
ed to the recall, therefore their
minds are prejudiced and they are
disqualified to sit upon the case.
The layman is not versed in law
his mind is not capable of eompre-
hending its fine points and the
complexity of its scope therefore
he is not qualified to pass upon the
question.
Now who is going to settle this
question?

The Journal today carries half
page announcement of the agri-
cultural exhibit to be held at
Batesville on the 28th and goth of
this month. This is matter in
which all progressive citizens
should take an active interest. Its
aim is to encourage more product
i've and profitable methods of farm
ing, and as agriculture is the chief
industry of this country, it is a
matter that vitality affects the in
terests of every citizen. When the
tillers of the soil-the real pro-
ducers of Wealth-reap an abund-
ant harvest, all classes of citizens
of our county are prosperous, but
when the farmers fail we all feel
the effects of it. 1t has been fully
proven that better methods of
farming means a more abundant
harvest, and as this movement is
in the interest of better and more
productive farming, it behooves
every progressive citizen to lend
his assistance and cooperation to-
ward making it a success.
