AT THE TACOMA

Gypsy Love-" the light opera
by Lehar, made a decided hit at
its opening presentation at the
Tacoma theater last night. The
chorus is the best seen here since
the "Pinafore" and "Mikado"
were given early in the season,
and good voices and tuneful melo-
dies maze the number a striking
feature in the realm of the light
er musical attractions.
Phyllis Darlington, Arthur AL
bro, Leola Lucey and Charles Full
ton are singers way above the
average in theatrical work and
the whole production shows an
artistic finish that is decidedly
pleasing.
The company closes here to-
night.

Convict's Suit Appealed.
Special to Independent.

 Little Rock, Dec. 9.-An ap- peal has been filed in the su- preme court in the case of E. N. Weigel vs. E. c. McCloskey, from Pulaski circuit court, which has a great deal of hu- man interest in it. McCloskey was sentenced to serve a term on the Pulaski county farm. Weigel was at that time con- tractor for the county convlcts, working them in his stone crush CT and rock quarry near Little Rock. McCloskey claimed he was worked by the contractor after the time of his sentence had expired, and sued for dam ages amounting to 5000. He was given a judgment of $1,OOo for the false imprisonment, and S1OO in addition for having a chain fastened to his leg.

by contract are surprised to know that such a provision is contained in this Act. As soon as the people learn what can be done under this provision, a great many counties are going to try it.
 It is the duty of the Highway Department to assist in the in- stallation of the contract sys- tenn wherever it is desired. The Highway Department should prepare the charters for all spe- cial road districts and it should then draw up the contracts to fit the different roads or classes of roads. There is no expense to any county or road district wish ing to try this plan and no trou- ble other than getting the char ter approved by a majority of the legal voters interested.
 Of course there are many places where this system could not be used or where it would not suit the people. The writer would recommend the contract system only in those cases where it is practicable and for that reason it's adoption was left optional with each community. But where they want this sys- tenn they can now have it and the undersigned will take pleas ure in giving further informa- tion and any other assistance within his power.

STATE NEEDS
 ANOTHER FARM
Says Governor Hays, But Pos session Not Advisable Before
 Spring.
Special to Independent.

opeCldl to I1QependellI.
 Little Rock, Dec. g. Govern or Geo. w. Hays is a strong ad- vocate of the Penitentiary Com mission purchasing another farm for the white convicts but he does not believe the purchase should be made so that posses sion would be taken before late spring.
 By taking possession at this time the entire working force of the state farm, both white and black, could be transferred to the new farm, after the crops were laid by in the sum- mer, at that time erect all the stockades and clear the farm. When time for the gath CIlllS Ol CllC CIOpS Oil CllS Olu farm came, the convicts could be taken back there and worked Then they could be taken back to the new farm and work all winter on clearing and fenc- ing, so that the white convicts would start the new year under the most favorable circumstance es.
 Governor Hays is much inter- ested in the state farm idea, and is now working on plans by which the camps on the old farm may be moved in close to each other, thus permitting the in- stallation of a pumping station, and the construction of a sew craze system flo rthe stockades.

Prisoner Is Lucky.

Batesville, Dec. 5.-Not many prisoners in the Atlanta peni- tentiary have legacy left them sufficient to support their family during their incarceration, but that was the luck that befell James E. Porter, who was at one time a barber at Newark, in this county. At the last term of the Federal court here he was found guilty of selling liquor and was sentenced to two years in the Atlanta bastile by Judge Trie- Der.
 He had not been in prison long until a near relative died, leav- ing him property valued at about $2,000, and the income of which is sufficient to support his wife and baby until he is releas- ed from the prison. The facts in the case were disclosed here today, when an .ex parte motion was heard in chancery court and the trustee for Porter asked that he be allowed to- pay Por- ter's wife and children the in- come that was derived from the legacy.

 Little Rock, Dec. 9.-State Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary Monday afternoon received a hurry up call to Jonesboro, from the officers of the Coopers' union of that place. The tele- gram was vague, but Commits sioner Clary gleaned from it that the coopers' strike at Par agould is about to extend to .Jonesboro, and the assistance of the Commissioner of Labor is necessary to make an adjust ment of the affairs before they have progressed as far as they have at Paragould. The Para could stave factories have been shut down for three months, without prospect for a settle ment. Commissioner Clary will go to Jonesboro on Thurs day.

How the Red Cross Seal Orig.
 mated.

Nearly $l, ,500,000 has been raised by Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last five years. and yet many people do not know how this charity stamp idea O. riginated.
 Some of your grandmothers first played post office" with stickers similar to Red Cross Seals way back in 1862, when they conceived the idea of sell ing stamps at fairs for the bene- fit of the relief funds for the sol diers' hospitals in Brooklyn, Bos- ton and elsewhere. Nearly Sl.- 100000 was raised in this way before 1865. After the war, this method of raising money was discontinued in this country for a generation, although it found vogue in Portugal, Swift zerland, Austria, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Swe- den and other European coun- tries. There are now thousands of different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world, as many as forty being used in Austria for children's hospitals alone.
 Stamps or seals were first us- ed to get money for the anti-tu- berculosis crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. To Jacob Riis, the well-known social worker of New York, and to Miss Emily P. Bissell, the ener- getic secretary of the Delaware Red Cross, jointly belong the honor of originating our Ameri- can Red Cross Christmas Seal. In 1909, MT. Riis' interest was aroused by the receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis stamp on letter from Norway. He pub lished an article about this queer-looking stamp in the "Out- look," and suggested some pos sible uses for it in this country. Miss Bissell at once saw an Op- portunity here and prepared 2 stamp, from the sale of which her society realized $3,0O0 for tuberculosis work. So impress ed was she with this success that she induced the American Red Cross to take up the sale in i 1908 on a national basis. With ]
 very little organization and With hardly any attempt at careful advertising, the sale that year
 brought in, nevertheless, over $135,OOO for anti-tuberculosis , work in various parts of the
 United States. In 1909, with more thorough organization, the sale was increased to $23O,OOO; in 1910 to nearly $310,000; in
 1911 to over S330,000, and over 4O,OOO,OOO seals, netting S40O,- 900, were sold last year.

More than 300, 900 violations of

There is not a paper printed
but what frequently has occasion
to refer to the "high cost of liv-
ing"; rarely does a converse.
tiOn occur between any two per-
sons discussing current topics,
but what the question of the
"high cost of living" crops in
somewhere. This is all sickening
to us because we know 1t is only
slur at what the farmer pro-
duces. The items of "high cost"
of dressing are not mentioned.
Neither is the "high COST of
farming considered. There was
a time when twice as many peo-
pie of this country, according to
the numbers here, were engaged
in farming and producing a sur
plus of everything we needed to
eat. In the past twenty years
one-half of this number have left
the farm because they could, and
are now, making more money at
other vocatiOns of life, and buy
what they eat at the present
high prices'. To curtail the
price of farm products only
means to further transform pro-
ducers into consumers. Let the
farmer and his products alone.
Ii there are any of the "dignified
hid.gloved gentlemen" who can
not remain in the city because of
the "high cost of living" let him
come out into the country, roll
up his sleeves, grab the grubbing
hoe and work from sun till sun,
(as all farmers have to do) and
he will have plenty to eat, if
nothing to wear. Let him try
this one year and he will not
complain any more of the "high
cost of living" When farming,
as business, will pay in crest
on the money invested in land,
puy for the upkeep of the place,
and yield a nice dividend in
earnings, as other successful bus
mess enterprises of the land
do, then will there be more land
farmed and more products raised.
But not one farm out of a hun.
dred can be made do that now
with even the advantage of the
"high cost of living".
The only Trouble with the singh
cost of living" is the middle man
needs a good shearine. Shear
HIM and the remedy is applied.

we didn't like. Soon as his term

no bearing on the Governor, we

the people do not need friend of

them at Washington When the

sary to investigate the operations
of railroad as they have done

to let no one into the Senate that

The State scored another vic

assessed railroads of the State
when U. s. Judge A. M. Cochran

%. & Z. p. railroad a temporary
injunction unless the road paid
$40, 900. 90 more tax and the q. d
o. paid in $25, 600. 90 more. Judge
Cochran Is evidently not afraid
of the railroads in making his
decisions. Judge Cochran made
similar decisions against the l..
& N. and @. & O. which has ad-
ded already to the State funds
over $125, 100000. Judge Cochran
is Republican, and the writer
is poisonous Democrat, but we
hope to see him live long and pro-
tect the States rights in the fu-
ture as in the past, and may he
never cease to be Oh the bench
while he lives. He is fit man
