VISITED HIS OFFICE

Washington, Oct 3.-Senator James
A. Reed, of Missouri, today blackened
the eye and cut the face of John Nc
Intire, an official OF the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, who had
ventured into his office in the Senate
Office Building in search of informa-
ton.
Il understand you have affidavits
against me as a Senator and as a
member of the Senate Investigating
committee" said Senator Reed, when
he met McIntire
I'VE have" said McIntire.
What are they?" demanded Sena-
tor Reed.
M1ntire replied, it is understood,
that the affidavits charge the Sena-
tor with being friendly with certain
newspaper and with prosecuting the
National Association of Manufacture
ers. Senator Reed leaped to his
feet.
'Take that back" he shouted.
Il will not" replied McIntire.
Then, it is stated, Senator feed
struck. McIntire was seated in a
chair in the senator's room. The
first blow smashed the eyeglasses
worn by McIntire. The blood gush-
ed from McIntrie's cheeks. Again
Senator Reed struck and the blow
landed on McIntrie's head. McIntire
jumped from his chair, grasping at
his glasses. He struck at Senator
Reed, but the blow did not land. Then,
it is alleged, Senator Reed struck
again, both blows landing on the
face of McIntire.
When asked tonight if he had at
tackled McIltire, Senator Reed re-
fused to discuss the matter.

THE EFFECT OF PROHIBITION

All eyes are turned on the Supreme
Court OF Arkansas. That tribunal
is soon to decide whether the state
is to be saloonless or whether the
dramshops will continue to exist in
this state the coming year, and in
future years. The decision of the
Supreme Court means much to the
cities of the state. Pine Bluff, Fort
Smith, Hot Springs and other cities
are now struggling with empty
treasures and in the event prohi-
bition comes, Pine Bluffs revenues
will be cut nearly 100000 next year.
In reviewing the situation the Hot
Springs Sentinel-Record says:
A decision which will be handed
down by the supreme court during
the coming week, which will deter
mine whether the new legislative act
on prohibition is PROPER or not, is
awaited with almost breathless in
terest in the cities where license
now prevails.
The decision will practically de-
termine the prohibition question in
Arkansas. Requirements are placed
on the issuance of license by the leg
islative act that it is generally adj
mitted can not be met III any mu-
nicipahty OF the state.
And it is barely possible that too
much OF hope has been built up on
the probability or the possibility OF
the supreme court setting aside the
legislation now confronting us.
I'VE have no doubt but that the SUI
preme court as body will analyse
the situation, and render such de-
cision as this highest tribunal of the
people believes should be rendered.
"But in so far as the people are
concerned, it is to them almost like
the toss OF a coin as to whether the
Legislature enactment shall be set
aside.
Those Of us interested in munich
pal welfare have all figured out to
nicely how conditions can be relieved
If the supreme court annuls the legis-
lative act. If this is done there will
be ample revenue, and conditions
generally il the municipalities will
be undistrubed.
But has anybody figured out
plan in the event the court decides
the Legislative act is constitutional and
its provisions applicable to the pres
eats There is the rub.
Ii Hot Springs is to have prohibit
ton, or blind tiger regime, for the
next two years, and the $4,000 OF
city revenue cut off, how is the def
cit in revenue going to be met? The
fact that the city is deprived OF the
revenue must not mean that the city
viii lbe left unsupported. 1t must be
supported.
so while with an optimism born
OF hope, we all seem to confidently
believe that prohibition will not OBJ
tain after the supreme court has
passed on the issue-suppose the
unexpected happens?
1T is important that the munich
palities of the state combine their
forces and begin an aggressive and
determined fight for such legislation
as will guarantee their future, and
place the possibilities of the cities
of Arkansas above the contingencies
! of privilege legislation"

.DROUTH CAUSED
FINE PASTURES
MORE COVER CROPS IN THE
COUNTY THAN EVER BE-
FORE KNOWN.

This drouth win in measure
prove a blessing in disguise" said a
prominent and successful farmer this
morning. "In the first place the
drouth caused the farmers to SOW the
largest winter cover crops ever
known in the county. In fact there
is twice as much rye and barley
sown for winter pasture this year az
was ever sown in any previous year
and that doubtless is too conserva-
tive statement The mild weather Of
the fall and winter has caused this
crop to grow rapidly with the result
that there has never been so much
fine pasturage in the county as there
is now. Sheep and cattle and hogs
are doing fine on the winter pastur-
age and very few stock have been fed
at all outside of the milk cows and
work stock. There will probably be
less feeding done this winter than
ever before in the county and the
stock will be kept in better condi-
ton. Farmers have been overlook
ing their hand In not sowing their
corn fields to rye or some other good
cover crop. They have found this
year just how profitable 1t Is and the
time will come very soon when in
this county one will have to travel
miles to see a barren corn field In
mid-winter."
