EDITOR oGDEN's VIEWS
AS TO DR.. HATFIELD.

One DR.. Hatfield seems to share
with A. L. Calhoun, proprietor and
manager of various low resorts,
the dubious honor of being the
real head OF the Swisher organ
ization In Mcdowell county. Mr..
Isaac T. Mann furnishes the
money and figures in the prints as
the big boss, but Hatfield and Cal
houn round up the 1000 or 5000
negroes and dispose Of their votes.
This is all preliminary to a nota-
ton of the fact that Hatfield has
just broken into prominence by
brutally beating up Democratic
editor, who had the temerity to
call attention to the disgraceful
social and political conditions that
prevail in Mcdowell county. After
nearly killing his man, he went be-
fore an accommodating justice OF
the peace and was fned . tribe
for his amusement.
This is specimen Of the men
and of the methods by which it Is
expected to roll up an unpreee-
denied majority for Swisher In
mcdowell county. Hatfield, the
man-killer; Calhoun. the dive
keeper, and Whyte, the defaulting
ex-sheriff, are precious trio. They
are at representatives OF the no
hle cause OF Swisherism and will
undoubtedly do yeoman service in
an interest with which they are
SO peculiarly in sympathy.

 hington.-Robert w. Archibald, judge of the United States Commerce Court sat before the bar of the Senate and heard himself characterized as one who had "prostituted his high of ficial position to personal profit" who had "commercialized his potentiality as judge" and who had degraded his office and destroyed the confidence of the public in his integrity"
 To this arraignment by Representa- tive Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, representing the managers for the House of Representative in the i'm, peachment proceedings against the iurist, Judge Archbald's chief counsel, A. s. Warrington made an emphat- ie reply. He declared the house had brought proceedings against Judge Archibald upon facts, that if properly analysed, showed the jurist's motives to be unquestionable. The charges, he said, were vague and indefinite.

STATE CAPITOL
 NEWS AND NOTES State Auditor lobe Makes Bi- ennial Report to Governor.
 State Finance Bad.
RECOMMENDS SOME CHANGES
State Penitentiary Is Self Supporting but Needs to Be Under Different
 Management.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-State Auditor John R. lobe made his biennial report to the governor last week. He makes sever- al recommendations for changes and improvements in some of the state departments and institutions.
 In speaking of the states financial condition MT. lobe gives some strong present taxable value of the state is something in excess of $425,000,00, an increase of about $50,000,000 in the last two years, estimating the states income for the next two years on this basis, combined with the revenue from all sources, will give the state sum of $2,272, ,063.75 for all state purposes. MT. lobe says this would have been enough to run the state on an economi- cal basis for the next two years if it was not for the fact that the state had issued a great amount of scrip in the last two years and that this will have to be paid out of future revenues unless the legislature makes some other provisions for the caring of the script debts
 According to MT. lobe, for several ing it's debts promptly but the treas ury will soon be without funds again and the state will have to return to the scrip basis again.
 This state of Arkansas finances is due, Mir. lobe says, to the ligslature making appropriations without inves- tigating the states ability to meet the obligations placed upon it by these appropriations
 In the report Auditor lobe strongly recommends a change in the manage ment of the state penitentiary.
 At the present time the penitentiary is under the control of a board com posed of five state officials. Mr. lobe says that while the penitentiary has been a success and self sustaining un- der the present plan of management that it could be more efficiently man. aged under the supervision of a man or men who could devote their entire time to the affairs of the penitentiary The financial affairs of the peniten- tiary are good and when the present crop is sold all debts will be paid and a surplus left to begin the new year on.
 In treating of the state pension roll the report says that the roll has been growing continually but that the in crease in the pension revenue has kept pace with the growing roll.
 The report recommends that as neas- ly all the pensioners are now drawing $100 year from the state that $100 be made the uniform rate of all pen sions.
