The most encouraging information which
came to THE SUN correspondent Is that
tho Attorney General has not at any
stage Of the negotiations committed him
self finally to a demand that the sale OF
the Boston and Maine road by the direc-
tors be completed within n definite period
This statement in a large measure re-
moves the most important obstacle which
had been described as standing In the
way OF an agreement
The difference between the Government
and the road on the question OF time has

for extension. ought TO be allowed. and
by the Government that two and a hair
years are sufficient. II Is regarded as
highly Improbable that the Government
ana the road hnally VIII disagree over
the matter OF SIX months time Tor the
trusteeship
The disclosure OF the status OF the ne
gotiations as far as the Attorney-Gen-
eral II concerned caused considerable sur
prise here among wide circle OF per-
sons who had sought to follow the negotia-
lions carefully throughout. 1t Is believed
that the misunderstanding OF the Attor-
ney-Generars state of mind was due 20
the fact that the positive views expressed
by his assistants. Special Counsel r W.
Gregory and Assistant Attorney General
Jesse Adkins. have been represented as
those of the Attorney-General himself.
II Ia true. however. that the Attorney
General has for the most part left the
conduct Of the case In the hands OF these
associates and that the case. with the
tentative agreement regarding II, has
never been brought before him by his
assistants for hnal statement OF his
position. Thus Mr.. McReynolds will feel
perfectly free to grant the request OF the

Present Holding Companies
Not Affected by the
I House Bill.
CLAYTON INTRODUCES IT
Purchase Of stock by Corpora
tons nlawful II IL
Limit Competition.

WAsHISoToN March 1.-THE Admins
tratlon bill designed to prevent the or
ganization OF holding companies In inter-
state commerce made its appearance In
the House to-day.
II is the NTH bill to be introduced In the
ADMINISTRATOR programme OF antitrust
legislation and has been awaited with con-
siderable anxiety by the business interests
Of the country ever since President Wilson
delivered his antitrust address TO Con-
gress.
The measure as introduced by Chairman
Clayton OF the House Judiciary Committee
does not go as far as many feared Il
would go. II falls considerably short OF
the suggestions contained In the Presi-
dents address for legislation Of this char
seter.
No attempt Is made to curtail the rights
Of individuals in the purchase Of stock or
in the voting OF such stock as was sug-
gested as a possibility in President VIII
sons address.
Present COmpa mica Not Affected.
The bill as introduced does not affect
any Of the present holding companies II
proposes TO make II unlawful for any cor
poration engaged In Interstate commerce
in the future to acquire. directly or indi-
rectly. the stock Of any corporation where
the effect would be to limit or lessen COM
petition.
This seems to go a little further than
the Sherman antitrust law. Under that
law a. interpreted by the supreme Court
the ACQUISITION OF one corporation by an
other is legal so long as the restraint
upon interstate commerce Is not unrea-
sonable The bill declares such acquisi-
ton to be unlawful II the effect is merely
to lessen competition.
The provisions OF the proposed law.
however. will not prevent corporations
from buying stock solely for investment.
Here are the recommen dations that the
President made in his address to Congress
In regard to holding companies;
I'VE are agreed. I take II. that holding
companies should he prohibited, but what
OF the controlling private ownership OF
individuals or actually cooperative groups
of individuals? Shall the private owners
OF capital stock be suffered to be them
selves in effect holding companies?
"we do not wish. ! suppose. to forbid
the purchase OF stocks BY any person who
pleases to buy them In such quantities
as he can AFFORD or in any way arbitrarily
to limit the sale OF stocks TO bona fide
purchasers.
shall we require the owners of stock
when their voting power in several com
panies which ought to be independent OF
one another would constitute actual CON
troll to make election in which of them
they will exercise their right to vote?
This question l venture for your con-
sideration.'

y escaped an epidemic should cause us to be all the more careful that one should not occur. There is one and only one certain method of prevention, and that is vaccination. A person who has been successfully vaccinated within two or three years is in no danger of becoming infected with smallpox. If every person in Conway were vaccinated there could be no pos sibility of smallpox gaining foothold here.
 The State Board of Health last fall made an order that every teacher and
 pupil in the state must be vaccinated
 before being permitted to attend a school. Later, on account of the linn ited time given, this order was modl- fled, but notice was given that 1t would be strictly enforced this year. Several hundred in Conway were vaccinated, but there are doubtless scores who have not been vaccinated. AS the win ter season is more favorable for vac cination, it would be a wise step for every person to be vaccinated now and not have to be forced to do so later.

VACCINATION.

Several Arkansas towns are now suffering from epidemics of smallpox The Courier Democrat last week said that Russellville had 24 cases and the Advocate acknowledged 10 or 12 cases in Fordyce. The disease is known to exist in quite a number of other places in the state.
 Conway is indeed fortunate that not a single case of smallpox has occurred here during the winter. While small- pox seems to have become a less dan gerous disease than it was in former years and seldom causes fatalities, yet an epidemic of it may be very disastrous to a town. Aside from the discomfort, suffering and disfguration of the patient and the inconvenience of quarantine, the prevalence of small pox inevitably injures business in a town and in Conway such an epidemic would be particularly detrimental to our schools.
 The fact that we have so fortunate

THE PORK BARREL"

The main argument being advanced in favor of the retention of Senator Clarke is that he has now attained a position in the senate where he is able to "do something for his state" This is rather narrow and mercenary view to take of national statesman and patriotic citizens would prefer to see a senator represent the whole United States. But even from this standpoint Senator Clarke's achieve ments must be rather disappointing to his friends.
 They opened up the "perk barrel, y otherwise known as the rivers and harbors bill, in congress the other day and Senator Clarke wasn't there. The bill carries appropriations amounting to over $43,000, 0,000-and what does Arkansas get? Here are some of the items:
 To build levees along the Mississippi river from Cape Girardeau, Mo-. to Rock Island, H., $7,O0O,OOO.
 To build levees along the Mississippi river in Arkansas, nothing.
 To build levees along the Arkansas river in Arkansas, nothing.
 For the improvement of the Mis- souri river through Missouri, $2,O00,- 900.
 For the improvement of Cumberland river, $590,000.
 For the improvement of the Tennes- see river, $550,0OO.
 For the improvement of the Missis- sippi river from it's source to the mouth of the Ohio river, $2,678,00O.
 For the improvement of the Missis- sippi river, from the mouth of the Ohio river to the gulf, nothing.
 For the improvement of the Arkan- sas river, $168,000.
 Arkansas, with more miles of navi, gable streams than any other state in the union and with greater need for levees than almost any other, will get about one per cent of the total appro- priations.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-02-19
NO PROOF NEEDED.

The opposition to Senator Clarke do
 not need to offer any proof that he is a reactionary and standpatter of the most pronounced type. It is simply self-evident proposition and every political act and utterance of the sen- ator shows it's truth. Wilson and Bry- an do not require proof of the fact that they are progressive and anti reactionary. No proof is needed that Taft, Aldrich and Bailey are not pro- gressives.
 But if the senatorial campaign were not an issue between standpatism and progressivism-if there were no ques- tion to be decided but that of person ality-it ought not to be difficult for the voters to reach a decision. The naughty, arrogant, wealth-loving, aris- tocratic characteristics of Senator Clarke as contrasted with the mod esty, friendliness and genuine democ racy of Judge Kirby are as well known to tte people as is the fact that the one is a reactionary and the other a progressive.

THE effrontery or Senator Clarke in securing a government sinecure for his campaign manager, R. P.
