MORE INVESTIGATION"

The federal commission on indus
trial relations, having finished lnNes-
tfgating the Colorado coal strike, with
results as yet unknown, viii now, IL
is announced, proceed 10 investigate
the Russell Sage foundation, the
Rockefeller foundation and other
Rockefeller charities, all the Carnegie
benevolences, and the Baron de
Hirsch fund. The basis of the in
curry. it is stated, is the charge that
these foundations are the beginning
of an effort TO perpetuate predatory
wealth through the corruption of the
sources of information"
This is likely to strike a good many
people as far fet0hed and the pro-
ceeding representative of nothing else
than demagogy. There is nothing in
the act providing for this commission
that seems TO call for any investiga-
ton into these foundations; the pur-
pose of the body is distinctly stated
to be that of investigating conditions
of labor, and it is apparently de-
cided stretching of It's authority to
go into the field mentioned.
If the commission wants details as
to the expenditure Of the various
funds they are TO be found in the
voluminous reports each year. That
of the Rockefeller education board
has just been issued and the tele-
graphic summary indicates that il is
most interesting document, as, in
fact. all these reports usually are.
Much of the work done by these
funds comes directly under public OBJ
servation, as. for example, the Car
negie libraries. one may have his
own opinion as TO the wisdom of ac-
cepting a gift" which stipulates for
a perpetual annual expenditure from
the recipient in return for 1t, but at
least the libraries that get themselves
installed in the Carnegie buildings
are not incendiary or predatory in
character. There is surely 40 cor
ruptiOn of the sources Of information
there.
Much OF the money goes into edu-
catiOnal work, but certainly no charge
from any reputable source has ever
been made that the character of the
education given is in any way in
Agenced or it's scope limited by the
fact that the money which provides
for il came from very ruch men. II
can hardly be seriously asserted that
the Rockefeller Institute for Re
search is cOrrupting sources Of infor

accredited sources OF Information. but

proceeded To do this i'm the most

that nc was going away on a long
Journey he disguised himself and
approached Proofs with a splendid
jewel and much to his disappOint-

We half suspect, If the truth
were know, Proofs was not deceived
by her husbands disguise. but
double crossed him to- punish him
for his suspicion and. incidentally
TO get the jewel. At any rate. after
short separation they were re-
united and doubtless would have

idea that Cephalus was putting one

MLITARIsM IN AMERICA

In ordinary times we look TO peace
officers to assert this thing that we
call law and order. Martial law has
its roots in an entirely different soil.
We have scarcely begun TO recognize
what it means TO apply it. as Colorado
has done. its strange and eXtraOrdi-
nary powers, bred of war, to the af-
fairs of life and labor.
We get glimpse Of what it means
when we stop and consider the differ
ence between soldier and police Off
Ger. To the soldier, the man he sets
out TO control is his enemy; the quick
er he can put him out of business, the
better. The policeman is supposedly
the friend of all corners; and if any
Offend his task is to bring him with
the least hurt and greatest expedition
before the impartial tribunal which.
away from the scene of conflict, will
deal with him.

Storm Near Batesyille.

Batesville, July 16.-Wednes- day afternoon a storm visited the section of the country lying two miles north of Batesville. Late corn was blown down and much of it ruined. Trees were blown down, many of them be- ing torn up by the roots. The roof of the barn of George Ivy, a farmer, was torn off. No dam age is reported to have ocurred to persons or live stock. The wind was followed by a heavy rain, the first in that section since May.

Warburg g Victim.

It would be interesting to know how much of the opposi- stion to Paul M. Warburg was due to dislike of Wall street and how much to a new growth of Know-Nothingism.
 MT. Warburg has insisted up- on the withdrawal of his nomi- nation as a member of the Fed eral Reserve Board because he will not be party to fight for that or any other office. In this he exhibits a sensitiveness not often witnessed in America, but q self-respect which we hope is not altogether foreign.
 X Generally recognized as a master of the theory and prac- tice of banking, MT. Warburg's ambition to serve the public was not baked by the great personal sacrifice that official position in his case involved. He had right to expect instant confirm ation. Instead, he was subject ed to a mean suspicion of his motives and bigotted hostility on account of his German birth and recent citizenship.

 peaches will begin moving from the local market Friday or Sat- Iurday, but carload shipments
 will not be reached until the first of the week. The crop will be short due to the late freezes which killed practically all Elbertas. It is estimated that
 the local market will ship IS cars, compared to 46 cars last
 year. The fruit is very fine, the rains the early part of July help ing to mature the fruit to per- lection, and, due to some cause not yet explained, the orchard
 ists say their trees and fruit are absolutely free from worms. Early varieties of peaches have been shipped from the local mar
 ket the past three weeks, ex- press shipments amounting to 200 to 300 crates per day.
 Canteloupes will begin to move about the same time as the FL bertas, but the crop was cut 
 short by the drouth. Express shipments will be heavy, but it is doubtful if many cars will be loaded.

Silos And Cow Peas Urged.

=
 l have several reports from farmers who have lost their grass crops on account of the re- cent spell of dry weather. One farmer is so discouraged that he is considering the disposal of his blooded cattle. This calls our attention to two things, the silo and the COW pea.
 The number of silos in Arkan-
 sas is increasing every day and
 will continue to increase. If we are to raise fine stock we must feed them, and it costs too much money to feed them any way but the best and cheapest way. I have erected a silo in our new exhibit room so that farmers who have not had an opportuni- ty to study it may do so when they have business in the capi- tai.
 Prepare to SOW more of the re- liable COW peas at the last culti- vation of your corn. It will be fine feed, improve your land, and
 -ou can save some seed for next year and will not have to buy. Some of your neighbors will want to buy seed next year and it will pay you to have the goods to sell them. But do not rush the laying by time" in order to get the peas sowed. This is time and after we have prepared land and worked hard on our crops we certainly do not want to lose 10 bushels of corn or 100 pounds of cotton because of our failure to keep on with the shallow cultivation
 Many farmers who have culti- gated their cotton reasonably .evel have found it practicable to sow rye in the cotton middles. It will at least encourage more cul- ,iyation. Rye is especially fine or a winter cover crop after the peas and corn are taken off. With we in this rotation you will have turned under peas, and corn stalks to rot during the winter, lave a better seed bed for next 1 spring and something to pasture md turn under again.
 We are having many requests l 'or advice on how to control the ,omato blight. Spray with Bordeaux Mixture.
