THE GOVERNMENT PROBE.

Articles written by large news papers sending special men to the field 10 make an investigation, tell plainly that in the prosecutions that may follow the shooting down of men in the Sebastian mine district noth- ing will be accomplished by the state courts.
 The writer tells us that there are sides. Everybody is on one side or the other Most of the people are on the union side, it is said because that is the side the greatest force is behind.
 Tine press articles tell us that it is difficult for the state to get proof be- cause witnesses fear to testify. That is but natural In a community where mobs work out vengeance against those they do not like, what chance has a witness who might swear to an unfayorable truth, have with the mobs?
 We have no doubt but that prose cutor Paul Litte would hold the sit uation firm if is was within his power but then officials are not all of the type that will rise against heavy op- position. and his aides may not be able to accomplish the work that would be necessary for convictions to be secured
 It is well that the government is stepping in Receivers are being asked in the federal court for the mine property. The receiver when appointed by the federal court, is a representative of the federal govern. ment, and has wide authority.
 The people of Arkansas as a whole . are friendly to organized labor. They believe that the laborer is worthy his hire. and that his interests should be furthered through cooperation But the people of Arkansas are not the people of Chicago or Los Angeles They will not stand for anarchy They believe in the settlement of conten tions in courts. They are not going to tolerate intimidation or murder simply because such violations of the law are done in the name of union ishm, because it is not unionism.

l3-YEAR OLD BOY
 ON A SCOUT TOUR
ARRIVED YESTERDAY FROM MENA AND WILL MAKE A CIRCUIT
 OF THE STATE.
Is Touring Alone, After Boys in His
 Home Town Jiped Him at the Sug-
 geston of Such Trip to be Made
 Alone. s4gtrMt

Sammie Riddle, l9 year old boy of Mena, arrived in Hot Springs yes terday on little tour he is making of the northwest part of the state. The boy is on the trip alone, and ex- poets to continue his journey unac- Second Arkansas Regiment, and wears the full regalia and equipment of an army soldier.
 With his blanket rolled and his knapsack over his shoulders, he pull ed in yesterday and soon thereafter found friends He left Mena Satur- day afternoon, arrived in Womble Sunday, and came on to this city, from where he goes to Little Rock. then on to Fort Smith, and thence back home.
 The object of the trip is merely to satisfy curiosity in seeing things, but the boy evidently was iibed into making the journey alone. Some of the boys had outlined the trip, and at the last moment they all decided not to go Sam was of the opinion he would go even if none of the oth- CTS did, and said so, whereupon his comrades jibed him and dared him. That was too mush, and to show them, he packed his things and went along.
 His interests in military affairs led him to want to look over the Army and Navy Hospital yesterday, and he was the guest of that institution dur ing the afternoc.
 Samme slept out of doors on his trip. Evidently this was not of the choosing of this 13 year old boy. Everywhere l asked to stay all night they told me that somebody was sick in the house or something like that, so 1 had to do the next best thing and sleep outdoors, said the boy.

Tipping is a Feudal Survival.

Tipping is plainly a survival of the

status to that of contract, when fixed

servant and master was one of ostensible.

was for life. and in its best aspect was a
relation of mutual dependence and kind.
ness. Then the spasmodic payment was,
as tips are now, essential to the upper
mans dignity, and very especially to the
dignity of his visitor This feudal reIa.
ton survives in England today to such
an extent that poor men refrain from
visiting their rich relations because OF
the tips. In the great country houses the
tips are expected to be in gold, at least
we were told several years ago. And in

Sherman Act. against the New York
New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany and all OF its directors from 1904 TO
1900 who are now living. and the es-
tates ofthree directors who are dead.
The compliments holding as trustees,
some New Haven shares allege that the
acts o. these directors were in violation
of the Sherman Act, and that under the
damage provisions OF the act the stock
holders are entitled to recover not only
$Io2, 900. 900, the estimated amount
souandered. or worse, by these directors.
but even three times that sum, or $3o6,

The proceeding is an effort of a mi
noritv stakeholder to bring to reckoning
and restitution these directors. whose i'll
fidelity TO their trust and acts in apparent
violation of the law resulted in such
enormous losses to the actual owners of
the New Haven corporation property.
It's an interesting proceeding Upon
its chances of success LAWYERS NAV be

Some Truth, ANYWAY.

Quite number of persons, some OF
them parents and some of them teach
ers, will agree with that Los Angeles
superintendent who told the educational
convention that algebra has caused many
girls 10 lose their souls.
We take 1t that he did not mean Just
exactly that in the most literal way.
We fancy that he was simply giving
forcible expression to a truth which has
been slowly impressing itself on the
minds Of manv for some time. 1t is that
truth and its recognition which are at the
basis of the clamor for more practical
instruction and which have resulted in
the establishment of technical schools
and those further advanced schools
wherein the boys and girls are taught
vocations.

and girls by telling them to learn so

Combustibla Cities.

We have cities to burn. We build
them of materials that catch fire readily
and burn rapidly. Not only that, we cut
the materials into comparatively small
pieces, which, when blazing, may be car.
ried long distances from the original fire,
and thus start general conhagration.
The city Of Salem, the latest to suffer
from fire, owes its greatest measure of
destruction to burning shingles. which
spread the flames as lar as the heat and
the wind could carry them. A move
ment is on foot to prevent the use OF
wooden shingles on all new houses built
in'the towns and cities Of Massachusetts.
but it is doubtful if this will be generally
carried into effect.
In European cities the losses by fire
are about one tenth what they are in the
American cities; mainly because shingle
roots and inflammable materials are not
allowed in the construction of either mu-
nicipal or ordinary dwellings. We are a
century behind the old countries in build
iag cities that do not invite big fires

1aw-breakine Lawmakers.

The action of Representative Wither-
spoon IN returning to the government his
salary for four days, during which he was
absent from Washington on private bust
ness, suggests that Congress might find
fertile field for investigation into scam
| dalous abuse without going far from the
| Capitol itself The law on the subject IS
plain, and no one who reads it can fail to
understand that its intent is that Con
gresham shall be paid while attending
to their duties and that deductions from
their salaries shall be made when they
are absent without the excuse that they
are attending to public business. But in
practice public business is construed
to mean anything in which public serv-
ant may be Interested.
There is no offense OF big business that
is worse in morals than this deliberate
evasion Of the statute by members Of
Congress. II is aside from the question
TO argue that a Congressman should not
be held to the grindstone as if he were
farm hand. tor the law, passed by Con-
ereSs itself, regulates his pay and the con-
ditiOnS upper which he shall and shall
notreceive it. In default of formal in 9
vesligation. if some Jealous economist
should compile list of the distinguished
members who have been absent from
Washington during the past six months
for large part of the time, and compute
the amount OF unearned salary which
they have not turned back into the public

Fairgrounds and snobshiners


Learned economic and sociological
writers assert that this country is entering
on new period of the qualification
OF classes. Formerly, they say, classes
were kept changing because every man
had a chance if dissatisfied with his
class conditions, to get a new deal by
taking up farm in the big West country
or else rising 20 prominence in the grow
ing cities of the then growing frontier.
Now the free land is gone. farm values
are soaring. and it is increasingly difficult
to obtain the advantages of farm owner
ship. This means, they say, that it will
be increasingly hard to change from one
class to another, and aristocracy and
snobbishness and many other terrible
things will result.
1t is TO be hoped that the learned
writers are mistaken. There are forces
working against snobbishness as for it.
The importance of one OF the allies of
the wholesome forces is only now being
recognized. Boys who know each other
in play can never completely misunder-
stand one another afterwards. There is
no truer democracy than that of fair
plav in the games where only skill.
which all have chance to acquire
counts The playground has proved to
be, along with the public school, strong
agents for democracy.-Kansas City
