DIAMOND COMPANY WANTS IN.
Claims Law Under Which Charter Was Revoked Is Unconstitutional.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The Kim berlite Diamond Mining and Wash ing Company of St. Louis, whose right to do business in Arkansas was recently cancelled by Secretary of State Hodges for violation of act of the legislature prescribing such penalty for a foreign company that removes cases brought against it from state to federal courts, has ap- piled for re-admission to the state. The application was made by George B. Webster of St. Louis, general attorney for the company, which is composed of men reputed to be millionaires. Mr. Webster says that he will be able to produce court decisions showing that the act is unconstitutional, and Attorney General Moose says there is a grave question about the right of the state to exclude the company on the grounds invoked in this case. The application will be heard by Secre- tary Hodges and Attorney General Moose October IS.

CLASSIFICATION OF
 FOREST ABANDONED
Government Finds Work in Ozark Reserve Expensive and UnprOlit- able-Back to Original
 Methods.

Calico Rock, Oct. 1.-The classi- fication work in the national Ozark
 forest has been abandoned and the camps have been broken up and the men disbanded. The classifica- ton plan was found to be unfeasible after the work had been carried on for several months. The expense
 was too great to justify the results. One of the forest officials said:
 For the past six years the ser vice has been trying to devise some way in which the land in the forest could be better classified, and that which was found better for agri- cultural purposes turned over to the homesteader. The classification plan was adopted. It was very eX- pensive and practically the same procedure was necessary after the land was filed on as is embodied in the bill of June II, 1906, which is now in force. It also was queS- toned whether this land, which had been classified,r would be taken up by the settler. Y Nr years It was a part of the puB-e domain before the forest was segregated. In view of this fact and of the great eX- pense entailed after several months work, it was decided to abandon the work and put those men who have been engaged in the work and who are experienced in classification on the work of examining the claims as they are filed in.
 The present method of home stealing in the forest is for the ap- plicant to file claims before the head office of the forest at Albu- querqe, \. M., on blanks furnished by them or by the local office at Harrison. The land then filed on is examined by a special land eX- aminer, and that part which is more valuable for agriculture is turned over to the claimant. The use to which the land is to be put can also be taken up and consid- cred better by this method of work

cific through a channel eight and One-half miles in length.
 The canal from shore line to shore line is forty miles in length, although the deep waterways dredged in the sea at the approach es increase this distance to fifty miles.
 To complete the journey through the canal will occupy from ten to twelve hours, depending upon the speed at which the vessel can na- vigate in the two lakes and Culebra cut. About three hours of this time will be spent in the six locks, counting one and a half hours for the Mirahores and Pedro Miguel locks and the same time for the three locks at Gatun.
 The minimum depth of the canal is forty-five feet, this depth ob- taining in the Atlantic and Pacific channels and in the Culebra cut. Gatun lake has a minimum depth of forty-five feet and a maximum of eighty-five feet.

A POCKET CYCLONE.

There ale two classes of inventors
who are eternally at variance with
each other one that is striving to
bring forth some more deadly instru-
men of war than has yet been known
and the other to nullify the power
and effect of such instrument, Modern
warfare with its powerful guns that
carry tremendous bUlks of iron shot
many miles and land them exactly at
the spot aimed al have made naval
engagements absolutely different from
those of the Civil war times and
beyond. when fighting was done at
close quarters, even by the flashing of
two ships together while the fighters
of one poured over the sides OF the
other aud engaged in bloody hand to
hand encounters.
The recent perfection of air ships
that permit the representatives of one
army to sail high IN air over the
enemy and drop bombs with deadly
effect where they will accomplish the
most terrible destruction have seemed
to offer style of warfare against
which it was impossible to guard.
Now comes the report that DR.. Causin,
a French scientist, has invented what
IN army circles is called a "pocket
cyclone, = that can be carried in

claimed, will capsize any type Of
aeToplane even if it has reached an
altitude Of 5000 feet, by sending up
disturbances in the air in which no

to the hearing, which he so hurriedly

The vote by which the senate
adopted the report giving MIR. Ekern

that the governors following IN the
Legislature is not large. The senate
consists of thirty three members
Only six of them voted with the
governor.
1t was not possible that these
senators should do otherwise, for their
constituents have voted for the
principles which LaFollette represents.
They knew President Roosevelt as an
active enemy of Wisconsin Progress
sivism and showed strongly that they
were opposed to McGovern's efforts
to turn Wisconsin to Roosevelt
The governors reasons for remov-
ing or attempting to remove MIR.
Extern were purely political. He did
not assert nor intimate that Mr..
Ekern was in any way incompetent,
or that he neglected his official duties.
The specific accusation was that Mr..
Ekern had taken active part in the
campaign for speaker of the assembly,
aiding a candidate who was unfriend
ly to the governor. If Mr.. Ekern
had csmpaigned for a candidate for
speaker, who was acceptable to the
governor, would the latter have
thought Of removing him Probably
not Therefore it was hardly TO be
expected that the majority in the
senate would view with anything ex-
cept disfavor the political purpose
underlying the governors course.
That war to the knife between
Senator LaFollette and Gov. McGovern
will be carried on to the end is now
apparent to the most casual observer.
To those who have kept we'll informed
and are capable of comprehending the
meaning of things, this has seemed

LaFollette and engendered feeling

THE BIG PARTY FEUD.

The action of the state senate in
adopting report finding that Herman
1. Ekern discharged with fidelity and
ability the duties of state insurance
commissioner, from which Office Gov.
McC3overn attempted to remove him
on charge of undue political activity.
as we'll as its action in refusing to
confirm the appointment of L. A..
Anderson to succeed Mr.. Ekern. is a
development Of extraordinary interest
and Importance. Taken in conrec-
tlon with the course pursued by the
Republican state platform convention
and the organization of the Republi-
can state central committee, it ludi-
Gates that the governor is playing a
losing game. The action of the state
senate moreover, shows very plainly
chat the breach between the governor
and the senator is widening very
rapidly
Friends of Gov. McGovern charge

GEN. SICKLES AS A HERO AND
OTHERWISE

The case of Gen. Dan SickIes the
crippled 88-year old veteran, to
which this paper has heretofore al
luded, is a pathetic one, where at
the end of a life or vigor, soIdieriy
and political activity, he finds himsslf
bedridden and we'll nigh helpless. and
facing a charge of embezzling about
thirty thousand dollars entrusted to
his possession by the monument as
ISOLATION of the state of New York.
Imprisonment has been averted only
by the action of friends who have
come to his assistance with bail,
and by bis son who has made good
a portion of the shortage.
Our sympathy for the old man. who
was the hero of the battle of Gettys-
burg. is tempered greatly by to the
stubborness and Feasibility of his
disposition, and his disregard for the
law. He began his career by shooting
and killing man, case which, in
spite of mis- perhaps juatiiahle JEALOUSY,
was almost cold blooded murder.
he later deserted his second wife,
drove his son away from his home,
and insisted upon living with a third
woman, thereby bringing scandal
upon his family, and has squandered
large fortune in ways more or less
open to criticism.
While his military record is an en-.
viaDle one and he conducted himself
bravely in battle as did thousands of
others, his private life has not been
such as to make him an example for
emulation or hero worship Pitiable
as his condition now is the fact re-
mains that he misappropriated a
large sum of money about which he
manifests little apparent concern, ana
is as culpable under the law as any
other embazzler, who never saw a
battle.
