REGULATION BY COMMISSIONS.

In his annual report to the stock holders of the American Telegraph & Telephone Co.,, copies of which have been mailed to the telephone users in Conway, President Theodore N. Vail has this to say upon the matter of government or state supervision of telephone service:
 "Regulation by commissions of high standing composed of individuals of ability and integrity, and good i'm partial judgment, is the greatest pro- tection to the public interests as against private exactions that ever was devised; it's effectiveness depends upon standing with the public of the commission as whole and the con- missioners as individuals
 "Unless commissions have the con- fidence and respect of the public, un- less their decisions are accepted by all even if not entirely acceptable te all, unless they mete out exact justice to corporations as well as to the public by decisions characterized by thor ough investigation and impartial con-

MADDINC JURY
 FAILS 10 AGREE

Little Rock, March 21.-The jury in the case of J. E. Madding, the young man from Pine Bluff indicted for the killing of Hon. J. H. Harrod last August by running over him with an automobile, were unable to reach an agreement and were discharged by Judge Lea at 4:30 p. m., Friday. The case was submitted to the jury at 9:3O p. m., Thursday. After their discharge it was stated that the jury stood seven for acquittal and five for conviction. The indictment charged murder in the second degree. The defense was that the killing was the result of an unavoidable accident, for which the defendant could not be held responsible.

that exists in the blood. It is an or ganism apparently so small that the most powerful microscopes do not show it. However, it is easy to dem- onstrate it's presence by inoculating small part of the blood from a sick hog into we'll one, which produces the hog cholera.
 Hog cholera is a disease which seems to be stopped to a degree by thes frosts of winter, although frost cannot be said to stop case after it has taken hold of it's victim. How ever, it seems to prevent the rapid spread of the disease. The result is that in springtime the affection is, as a rule, at the lowest ebb, but increases rapidly from that time until fall.
 Hog cholera does not seem to affect any particular breed of hogs more than another, and while generally the careless farmer is more apt to have the disease among his hogs than the careful one, the disease sometimes oc- CUTS where the conditions are sani- tary. It is hoped that the work may be extended gradually until the dis ease is completely controlled or elimi- hated. The fact that hog cholera is carried not only by the hogs them selves, but by birds, dogs, streams tand even on the feet of men going from one farm to another, shows how necessary it is that the campaign be thorough and that farmers exert their best efforts to assist in the work.

clusions, the value of these commits sions to the public will be destroyed and regulation by commission will in time be destructive of public service as we'll as of public morals"
 While this could not be called an enthusiastic endorsement of the pub lie service commission idea, it in a measure commits the Bell company to a policy of acceptance of such super vision. The matter is almost certain to come up in the next general assem- bly,, and we are anxious to see what the policy the division of the company operating in Arkansas will pursue at that time.

 COURTHOUSE PARK

From Mondays Daiv-
 The heavy stone for which concrete street crossings have been substituted has been purchased from the city of Conway by County Judge J. w. Holt for the county, and will be used to construct coping around the court house grounds. Much trouble has been from the soil of the court house park washing across the side walks surrounding it, and the coping, which will be built about 10 inches high, will prevent this trouble.
 Judge Holt said he would prefer to have used a concrete coping, but found that stone could be put in place for about $100, while the concrete would have cost about $700.

ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGIS-
 LATURE.

Next comes the race for the presid- ing offices in the legislative branches, and as soon as the primary is over, and it becomes know who will com pose the general assembly, there will be wild scramble to secure pledges for the various candidate for presi- dent of the senate and speaker of the house.
 Elmer P. Lundy of Polk county, is the only avowed candidate for presi- dent of the senate. Senator J. M. Futrall, president pro tenn of that body, has indicated that he will not seek to retain the presidency during the session. c. c. Calvert, the Fort Smith labor leader, is looked upon as a formidable candidate for the honor, while Thos. E. Toler of Grant county, J. M Smith of Union and John Ike Moore of Phillips, may be found in the running Senator Moore has held the office before, and if he aspires to it, no doubt will be elected.
 B. L. Griffin, now of Pulaski coun- ty, is the only avowed candidate for speaker of the house, but Joseph Hardage of Clark is coming back to the house, and he made such repu tation last session in the manner in which he dispatched business, that he will be speaker again if he makes the race=Arkansas Sentinel.
