Smith, a member of the last legislature from Bradley county, and who has served since the adjournment of the session as private secretary to Governor J. M. Futrell, may become a diplomat in the service of the United States government, with an assignment in a Centrai or South American country.
 Secretary Smith has for many years been a globe trotter. He has served the government as a District Attorney in the Philip pines, and his practice in this country, where the Spanish law is much in force, qualities him well for duty in Central and South America, where the Span- ish laws are also the common laws. In his years of residence in foreign countries, Secretary Smith became an expert in the use of the Spanish and French languages, and if appointed to one of the countries of the new world where these languages are frely used, he will be at home in the work Of the government without the preparation re. quired by the usual appointee.

It Looks Bad.

It looks not well that we have seen so far of the Caminetti- Diggs and the Western Fuel company cases in San Francis co. Attorney General Mickey holds has given but flimsy ex- planation of his postponement of the white slave cases against the graceless young Caminetti and his partner, Diggs. The young mans father is to be given time to educate himself in the duties of his office as commissioner of immigration, and the sons case is postponed in order that he may be present at the trial.
 This is entirely too diaphan- ous. As they say in the West, Tt will not wash" United States Attorney John L. McNabb and his associates, who have resign ed, have ample reason to con- clude that the secret of the con- tinuance of this case is to be found in the desire of the attor- ney general to have the young scapegraces tried by the politi- , cal friends of the commissioner, who will soon be appointed to of- flee. This may not be the case, but those who are commenting Attorney McNab should not be too severely censured for believ- ing so. Commissioner Cammin- etti is not on trial, and he does not figure in the case, and it should not be postponed and jus tice delayed merely as a cour- tesy to him. The preteXt is toe fictitious. The same may be said in the case of the fuel com pany, that has powerful friends at court. We have had enough scandals over the laws delay il this country already without ad

Paragould, June 29.-The Greene County Automobile As s0ciation, which includes practi- cally every owner of an auto in Greene county, has arranged with local contractor to nazt the repairs on the public road leading from this city. Severa roads have been improved bridges repaired, culverts fxeC and the autoists are paying fol the work.
 County Judge A. D. Jackson has advertised for bids for the painting of signs to be posted al all road intersections in tht county.

The White County Vote.

Last Saturdays election deter mined at least one question de- finitely, and that is Brundidge's S strength in his home county White.
 It has been charged by the op- position to Mir. Brundidge that he was weak in his home county and Judge Hays Haunted it with defiance into the face of Brun- didge's following that Brundidge could not carry his home coun- ty; in fact, the Hays forces pro. fessed to believe that they would carry it.
 But the election is over and Brundidge swept White county like a cyclone. In his home town, Searcy, he received all but 4 votes out of about 500 boiled. In the country precincts he polled a heavy vote and car ried the county about four to one. The surrounding counties also gave him a very strong vote, especially Jackson and Gle burne, where he swept every thing almost clean.
 We are sure there is not man in Paragould who could run for any office against an opponent regardless of who the opponent might be and for what office he might run, and get all but four votes cast. This is a remarka- ble record, unprecedented. so far as we have knowledge of e lections.
 The charge made by the Hays forces that Brundidge was weak in his home county and could not carry it was libelous and the re- suit of the election is a com- plete vindication on that score. -Paragould Soliphone.

STATE MARKET ooMMIs1oN


Governor McGovern Of Wisconsin.
has requested the legislature of that
state to enact "a law creating state
market commission,
The plan suggested is to combine
the duties of the existing dairy and
food commissions. state board of i'm
culture.
This commission would instruct by
correspondent and bulletins IN the
distribution of useful information to
farmers and those things that would
tend to develop the natural resources
Of the state.
An important function of this pro.
posed commission would be the estab-
lishment Of system of city markets
that would bring into closer relation
ship the producer and the consumer.
If this commission should be estab-
lished in Wisconsin and a test of It's
merits should prove by bringing the
producer and the consumer closer to-
gether the cost Of living would be
greatly reduced, it may be expected
that the rest of the states will follow
the lead Of Governor McGovern's
state.
We all know that the existing high
cost of distribution adds much to the
high cost of living, and if the useless
cost Of distribution could be eliminat-
ed the reduction in the cost Of living
would be materially lowered, and this
would benefit large majority oftthe
people.
So long as the products of the farm
must be taxed through the present
system of trade to compensate long

consumer will remain high and the

HOME AS A FAMILY DANGER.
DR.. Frederick Il. Sykes, director Of
practical arts at the Teachers College
is credited with declaring. that !, the
home is menace menace in It's
influence upon women. He, declares
that the greatest danger to the insti-
tuition Of marriage, as he sees it, is in
the fact that because Of inability, OK,
because Of public opinion, SO many wo-
men are kept from outside work. "In,
addition to a scientifically managed
home, woman needs her profession Or
her trade to give full scope to her In
telligence, or her energy"
Except for the ch:ldless woman, she
might retort, with the history Ut
Christendom to back her up, that in
the labors she performs at home in the
fulfllment Of her devoted duties to
her family, she expends as much physi-
cal energy as man i'm sailing ships
building bridges, and creating active
wealth out of the natural stores OF the
earth. As for intelligence, God gives
the brain; His creatures can but train
it. The peasant peoples of the Old
World, exerting their energy-men and
women alike-in outside work, have to
yet prove that by such service the in

The question arises: How much far
ther ahead are we if corporations can
shift about from state to state, select
ing the state In which the laws give
the greatest privileges and impose the
fewest restrictions. One of the newer
southwestern states for instance, holds
out inducements to organizers of cor
porations to do their business there.
and advertisements have been spread
abroad through the country calling at
tention to the desirability of organic
ing there. These advertisements assert
that in that state the fees are lower
and the restrictions less than in other
states. making what seems to be a
very attractive combination.
The practice of state incorporation
tends to promote competition among
the states in offering inducements of
this kind. A corporation is an asse!

if 1t maintains no Offices and trans

THINK THIS OVER.

Until there Is some change in the
methods Of handling wheat at the
great terminals Of Minneapolis and
Duluth, and some method devised for
state supervision of the manipulation
of the grain market generally, the
farmers and the newspapers Of North
Dakota and the Northwest should cease
crying 'bumper crop" every time
there falls little bit of moisture fol-
lowed by a Ebtle extra spell of sun
shine.
This Is a great country; it Is a, pros
porous country; It has hardly begun rs
yet to realize ON Its possibilities, but
you can safely figure that every time
you shout "bumper crop" you have
shaded the price of wheat. and have
done your share toward assisting the
manipulators to sbear' the market. .
Every dollar thus obtained by the
great mills or the commission men is
clear gain to them and just as clear
loss to the farmers and local business
men.
We do not mean by this Ettle lee

tell the world that we are headed
