rAE AARMoNY RULE.


 Instead of there being the violent rupture that might have been pre- dicted from the trend of the organ ized hotel men, there seems to have been 8. general harmony result. that certainly is to be the subject of con graduation.
 A committee from the hotel went to call on Superintendent Trow bridge, and ascertain from him what his attitude would be towards them. He informed them his business was the enforcement of the rules of the | Interior Department. He was going to stop the doctor drumming prae- tiee in Hot Springs. and he was goiug to stop the mistreatment of visitors, | in so far as his authority, given VII. der the reservation rules. permitted | him to do
 The committee of hotel men went to the mayor Mayor McClendon tod the committee that he was making an effort to stop doctor drumming, and wanted to protect the visitors from any misrepresentation or mls- treatment of any sort.
 The hotel committee. agreeing that doctor drumming should be suppress ed, and that misrepresentation and mistreatment of visitors was injur- ious to their business as well as to the city's interest, offered both the mayor and the superintendent their cooperation.
 That left one subject of contention. The hotel men, claiming they are Ill. terested only in the legitimate and gentlemanly representation of their hotel business, say they are too close ly restricted, and are subjected 70 mistreatment themselves.
 Certainly the superintendent and the mayor both agreed separately that no mistreatment of any citizen was the purpose of their work, and that the complaint of the hotel man would receive investigation, and that civil and legal rights they might have, aud which might have been de prived them, would receive remedy,
 In brief, the situation is this Doc tor drumming is not going to be tol- erated under any conditions. Hot Springs has outiyed that evil, just as 1t has others. Mistreatment and misrepresentation of visitors and 10 visitors will not be tolerated If the Bork of the municipality and the ge servation officials, cooperating io- gether, can be made efficient.
 Further the hotel men, engaged ln legitimate business, and represent ing their business in a manner not to be offensive. have some rights-at lsast the right to be treated as other business men in Hot Springs, anu with all points conceded. instead ot theiF being warfare. there is to he harmony aE.
 Hot springs is no longer a village II is the worlds greategt resort, There l. not another Of its equal Any policy or system that Is injurious to the more complete development oi the rcscrt will not thnYe. But stlu Hot Strings Is willing to draw the line Of fairness and equity aa be- tween individuals, and to save from condemnation such business men as are honest and sincere, even if auoth. CT sort have merited the condemna- ton lla, has unfairly fallen upon all.
 f the hotel men, and the reserYa, ton office. and the municipality. wal e operate, there will be no misrepre. sentaton no doctor drumming. the visitors vill be increased in number as they will De increased in the ranks
