ship.

Sacramento, Calf, April 30
An open right of way for final
action in the Senate tomorrow
morning on the Webb anti-alien
land act was prepared today by
Senate floor leaders. Before to-
morrow night concrete express
sion of the legislatures attitude
toward Secretary of State Bry
ans diplomatic visit will be at
hand in the shape of a vote on
the most drastic land-holding
act yet proposed.
Secretary Bryan spent the
day in San Francisco not return
ing until late tonight. 1t was
not known whether he had re-
ceived further instructions from
President Wilson.
In his absence the original
plan to permit no further delay
was carried out and when the
Senate adjourned tonight the
Webb bill, which stands on the
file as the accepted substitute of
the original Thompson-Birdsall
measure, was due to be reached
within few minutes after the
upper house convened tomorrow
morning.
A few amendments may be
offered, but they will be resisted
with the full force of the admin
istration leaders, who stated to-
night that they expect the act
to be passed in its present form.
There was wide discussion of
the new bill today, although but
little criticism was forthcoming
from the standpoint of Califor-
MIA. In comparison with various
drafts that preceded it, the
Webb act is said to be more
drastic and effective in reaching
the japanese farmers of the
state than any other proposed
measure, and at the same time
least Objectionable of all from an
international point of view.

Compliments Arkansas Officers


The Chicago Banker, a weekly
paper devoted to the banking
and financial interests of the
Middle West, contains this week
a halftone of the president of
the Arkansas Bankers Associa-
tion, MIR. Charles G. Henry, with
the following merited endorse
ment of his administration as
well as that of Robert E. Wait,
secretary of the Association:
"Charles G. Henry, president
of the Arkansas Bankers Asso-
citation the past year, is cashier
of the Arkansas Bank and Trust
Company of Newport. He al
ways has been an enthusiastic
association worker and his Off
cial connection with the state
bankers organization has been
reflected creditably, not only to
himself, but to the association as
we'll.
Robert E. Wait, the secre-
tary, also is president Of the
Citizens Investment and Securi-
ty Company of Little Rock. AS
secretary of the Arkansas bank
ers he has succeeded in keeping
that body prominently before
the public, and has been respon-
sible to a considerable degree for
the accomplishment of the salu-
tary reforms advocated and Sc
cured for Arkansas by the bank
ers.
Both of these enterprising Of
ficials are entitled to a great
deal of credit for the neactment
of Arkansas new banking law,
which was secured only after
much patient effort. 1t is be-
lieved that this law will prove to
be thoroughly adequate for the
needs of the state, and that a
statute could be used profitably
by other states not so fortunate
as Arkansas"

COURT DENOUNCtS
CONVICT CAMP
At Wilson And Orders Contract
of Greene County Annull-
ed.

Paraguld, April 3O.-Acting
upon the report of the commit
tee OF the Greene County Prison
Board, which recently investi-
gated the convict camp main
tanned by John Bomar at Wilson.
in Mississippi county, Judge A.
D. Jackson has notified Bomar
that Greene county's contract
with him will be abrogated with
in thirty days.
The committee, after inspect
ing Bomar's camp, denounced
him in scathing terms in it's re-
port to the Prison Board and to
Judge Jackson.
Of the convict camp maintain
ed by Bomar the committee in
it's report said:
This spot is so disgraceful
that it is impossible for a human
being to conceive of it's unfit
ness without a personal visit.
After meeting Bomar and view
ing the condition of the men
confined in this institution, and
the manner of conducting same,
we are of the opinion that any,
one with the same evidence
would be justified in believing
any tale of cruelties or improp-
er treatment that concerns the
methods in vogue on this farm,
no matter how inhumane or un-
usual the tale apparently seems
to be. Sheriff Grooms of the
committee was so disguised with
the farm and Bomar that he
brought the remaining Greene
county prisoner back to Para
gould with him.
Tales of the barbarous cruelty
and unspeakable conditions at
Bomar's camp have been rife
for SINE time. Miss Adah L..
Roussan, editor Of the Osceola
Times, published at Osceola, in
Mississippi county, scathingly
denounced the camp in a first
page editorial last week.
After telling of the inhuman
treatment of the prisoners, the
lack of sufficient food to even
appease hunger, of the long
hours, cruel, body wrecking
work, Miss Roussan told of an
instance of cruelty to a woman
as follows:
"A short while ago a man and
his wife, white people, and stran-
gers, lived on the river. The
man became sick; they were
without money, food or medi-
cine. The man owned a pistol
the wife brought it to Osceloa to
try to pawn it. She failed, was

Bonded Warehouses to Prevent
Frauds.


Memphis, April 30.-Memphis
bankers are working on a bonded
warehouse system, and if the
scheme is adopted, it will revolu-
tionize the handling of cotton at
this point and territory from
which Memphis factors draw
their trade.
In addition to asking that ev-
cry warehouse be placed under a
heavy bond, bankers and bust
ness men would require that ar
rangements be made and enforc-
ed, whereby cotton receipts
must state the amount Of money
loaned on cotton stored in the
warehouse. Strict accounting OF
such loans would be demanded.
That is. if a farmer growing the
cotton borrows from a country
merchant on the years crops,
he would be obliged to state the
amount of the cotton's incum-
brance when it is shipped to the
factor, and the factor would
have to make a similar report to
the owner of the warehouse.
When cotton receipts are up as
| collateral for loans, bankers
would demand a guarantee that
no loans have been made on the
cotton for which receipts call for
and this guarantee would have
to be made by the owner OF the
warehouse who holds the origl-
nal shipping record of the cot
ton. The warehouse mans
guarantee would not make him
liable for non-payment of a loan
! but it would make him liable for
the collateral statement given
concerning cotton receipts put
up as surety.
Bankers and business men say
the present system of handling
cotton is ANTICIPATED. 1t was
started before the Civil War by
men who became rich handling
cotton and when buyers were
few and far between.

tiOn to his comrades, and literal
ly keeps this, "Be kindly affec-
toned one to another with bro
therly love; in honor prefering
one another.
No man gave more unSelfiSh
service to the south than Col.
Cook gave during the war, and
none since have been more zeal
Gus IN perpetuating the honor of
the, cause in which he fought.
And while he does not seek
this or any other honor, it would
be pleasing to his friends in Ar
kansas and surrounding country,
if he should be selected for the
honorable position as command
er of the Trans-Mississippi De-
partment.
Col. Cook always attends the
reunions, and always his pres
ence there brings gladness to
some less fortunate than he. He
is always ready to contribute
literally for the pleasure and
comfort of the others, and there
has never been time at any re-
union, when he has not in some
manner helped to make the &C
casion one of more enjoyment
than it would have been without
his help.
The very fact that Col. Cook
does not seek the honor, and the
fact that his comrades must in
sist upon his accepting it before
he is willingto do SC shows what
manner of man he a. how wor-
thy he is of the honor.
1t would be just as ple2SSng to
him, perhaps more so, to assist
some other veteran to secure he
recognition, and have some Oth<s
er good man namedas commands
er, as far as Col. Cooks ambition
goes, and it remains for his
friends to urge him before he is
willing to deprive some other
man of the honor.
But now that Gen. Van Zandt
of Texas has declined to permit
his name to be presented at the
next reunion, and declares that
he will not accept the position,
the way seems open for Col.
Cook, and his comrades here at
Batesville will spare no efforts in
having him named.
The Guard voices a popular
sentiment, we believe, with the
entire body of the United Con-
federate Veterans in Arkansas,
when it says that no more wor-
thy and more able man than Col.
Cook could possibly be chosen,
and we believe when his name is
presented that will be the YER
dict of all his comrades from the
Mississippi to the Gulf.-Bates-
vile Guard.

What's the Use ?

The lean man longs to put on
weight and eats fat-building foods,
and after all-so mean is fate-he
cant acquire the goods. Eggs, ham
and milk and things like those he
swallows day by day, and still he's
lean and lesner grows, until he blows
away. The fat man, hoping to get
thin and wiilowy and pink, to sacrifice
bis double chin and make his waist
line shrink, eats things which have
no heat or force, and drinks denatured
whey; he browses like a COW or horse
on sIsw and bran and hay. Instead Of
growing slim and sweet his mighty
girth expands until he cannot see his
feet, OF reach them with his hands.
In vain the living skeleton may gorge
himself with grub he'll still remain
with lie is done the same old flesbless
dub. In vain the man who breaks the
scales would find of fat surcease; his
foolish torturings would fail to rid
him of his grease. So let us then be
all serene. from idle longings free, and
siIg and dance, the fat and lean. in
joyous ecstasy; and let no fodder he
denied when sounds the dinner bell ;

The Coup in Mexico

Through the dramatic coup oy
which General Huerta overthew Pres
ident Madero. Mexico now has anoth-
er military ruler-''provisional," it Is
said, but still wearing the shoulder
straps.
But Mexico has had too many mill
tary rulers. That is the trouble
with the country today, The people
have grown to hate military rule.
Some strong man Of the people-a
civilian who could promise the sort
of an uplifting government which
poor Mexico needs today-would be
welcomed by united nation, but
another military man in the presi-
dents chair probably means more
national unrest and finally another
volcanic outburst.
Diaz the elder was hated because he
used the military to Cypress the peo.
Pile. This feeling Of hatred grew, 10
spite Of the tyrant's swift punish
ment of all who spoke against him,
until Porfrio Diaz was overthrown.
But the instrument used in over
throwing Diaz was another military
leader-General Madero. Now, by a
plot In his very household, Madero
has been Overthrown, and it is a
military successor who sends word to
the United States government that
hereafter all will be well with Mexico.
But there are seventeen millions In
Mexico to be ,considered-millions in
whose ears the very name OF mill
tarism rings hatefully. Diaz the
elder, Diaz the younger. Madero,
Huerta, Orozco-every name spells
militarism. General Hureta comes
into office through an outrageous be.

asks the world to have confidence in
him. Let him first demonstrate that
he has Mexico's confidence, and the
rest will follow. But 1t is a question
