We don't know Whitener, or whether he is guilty or not, but we feel sure that ne could in all reason resent incarcer- atlon in the local prison. but it is amusing that our officers, who are re- sponsible for it's condition, should so conspicuously declare the fact in this particular instance.
 This article is not intended to re- fleet guilt on the defendant or to cast aspersions on the attorneys for the defense. No blame for the present status of the situation may properly be attached to them. The fault is with the officers ot the law, who sshould be fearless and INDISCRlM- NATE.

If you will go out to- day and look through some Of the many orchards and see the trees bending under the weight of the nice smooth apples you would readily come to the conclusion, that instead of ten per cent there would be at least seyenty-fiye per cent of good smooth No. One apples.

 HAST GALL :"

Springdale. Ark. July 10. 1914. Mr. Editor News.-Dear Sir: h your valuable paper of the Sd, inst, I no- ticed an article entitled The Last Call9 in which it said that only ten per cent of our apples are fit for packing purposes, Whoever eom- piled the above statistics, were surely figuring from the wrong standpoint
 If it were the fact that the big red apple country. which we have so loudly boasted. has dwindled to only .en per cent of good apples, as the writer says. we had just as well "dig them up right now and throw them over the fence as he says we will be compelled to do if we do lot get cer- tain concessions from the railroads, as to wait five years to go about t. I am happy to say that he has made a gross mistake in his computation. cannot conceive where he gathered his data from to miss the mark 50 far If you should go to any of our orchardists this fall after the usual drop in the month of August, and should say to him, but one apple out of ten would be fit for boxing or bar reling. he would be perfectly astound ed. The writer Of the article, who ever he may be. says Don't think it iss the cry of the wolf, when there is no wolf coming" If conditions are as he described in his article, the wolf has already come-he is with us right now, but do not feel like

taking this all in without figuring little on the other side of the ques- ton. It does not require one hlgh up in mathematics, or should not attempt to do so. In the first place. he says that ten per cent go to the dryers. and that we have ten per cent No One, or apples fit for pack ing purposes, and that eighty per cent have to be shipped in bulk Right here is where a big mistake looms up in his calculations. lie does not take any notice whatever ot the number of bushels of No One apples shipped ill bulk, when it is a fact that there are very few cars of bulk apples go out that do not have more or less good apples in them such as would grade No One, and dare say that many of them would run as high as fifty per cent good apples, or such apples as we pack for the markets North or South. There is no way ot fig lring the percentage on these ap- pies, yet any of the bulk shippers will bear me out in saying that there are many thousands of bushels go out in this way just as good as are put th- b cold storage. Whole orchards as We grow, are shipped out in bulk. ] do not wish to be understood that am the least opposed to us doing all We can honorably and honestly to revoke their orders in regard to sell ing bulk apples from the cars, but l believe that it is in bad taste 10 send such statistics as the above, broad cast over the country, giving our country very black eye, in. deed I appreciate their energy and zeal to do all they can honorably and fairly. to bring the railroads to fair terms, but if we have to depre- ciate our orchards and our orchard land to do SO we are on the wrong track. and it will work out to our detriment What effect do you sup pose it would have on man from Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois or any other slate who had been contemplating coming 10 Arkansas to engage in the fruit business to pick up paper from Springdale and read as follows.

 TELEPHONE COMPANY

The telephone TOW at Fayetteville has not yet been settled, and Mayor Taylor, under date of July sent the following statement to the people of Fayetteville relative to the matter, and among other things says Your committee asked Mr. Vedder why Springdale subscribers only pay $2.0o for business and $150 for single line residence phones. To this he re- piled, as usual, that service could be furnished much lower in a small ex. change than in large exchange. We called his attention to Tulsa, Okla, where they get business phones for $250 and one line residence for sf.50 and yet Tulsa has an exchange six times as large as the Fayetteville ex- change. We explained to Mf. Ned- der that there is large part of the citizenship of Fayetteville who are working people who are not able to pay the present high price for tele- phone. Ii the rates were reduced if they are put down on a basis with the rates this same Company is charging other towns the size of Fay etteville, our people could afford to install telephones But as it is now the prices are prohibitive to large part of our people Ne believe, and the people of Fayetteville believe, th the managers Of the Telephone Company KNOW that they are charging us an unreasonable rental for oar phones but as long as our people sit still and pay this rate the Telephone Company will fight to maintain it. We wish to say that your committee is now working out a plan whereby a new system can be installed in Fayetteville which will insure the people of Fayetteville the same rates as those charged by the old company before the Bell Tele- phone Company bought this exchanst

INExPLiCABLE.

The apparent laxness with which Arthur Whitener, charged with first degree murder, has been held and the equal efforts on the part of the defense and the state to extend ey- cry possible clemeney to man charged with one of the most hein- ous of crimes-that of having depriv- ed society of the life of one of it's members-has excited considerable local protest and officers responsible for the conditions in the case are be- ing freely and justly criticized for their action. Tie defending attorney are only doing their duty by their client for which they are not cen sured but the apathy of the officers of the law is appalling.
 We do not attempt to pass on the guilt or innocence Of the defendant. This point is not essential to our dis cussion of the method in which this case has been handled.
 The facts which were brought out in the trial and which have not yet been answered or eontroyerted are that Whitener deliberately killed An thony by stabbing him with q pitch fork. After stabbing the man sever al times he clubbed him with the han. dle of the fork. No reason is known and to date none has been offered for the public Awful as 1t is, all this is conceivable may have been some motive that would reduce the degree of the crime But to date none has been given, yet White her has been accorded every eon- yenienee that all honored guest could expect. Before and after the trial he remained in the Oriental Hotel under special guard. True it is, that he bore the expense of this guard, but he offered no mitigating circum- stance to deserve clemency.
 The attorneys for the defense and the prosecuting attorney privately agreed to a verdict of murder in the second degree, but be it said to the credit Of Justice Walker this was re- fused and Whitener was bound over on a charge of frs degree murder and papers were issued committing the defendant to the County jail. But Whitener never got within a stones throw Of the jail except as he was leaving the Court House. Proseeat- ing Fuller again came to the rescue of the defense and by the CONSENT Of Sheriff Caudle a special guard was ordered to maintain the royal quarters.
 Today caps the climax with an al legged murderer, one that does not deny guilt, being turned loose on a bond of $3,00O. There is a peculiar singularity about this case that is inexplicable. Bootleg "erap
