To the Democratic voters of the
 Northeastern Railroad Com
 mission District of Arkan-
 SaS:
 In announcing my candidacy for reelection as a member of the Arkansas Railroad Com mission, it is in order to give an account of my stewardship to the voters land citizens 1 have had the honor so serve to the best of myDability.
 The great, value of the Com- mission is recognized by every shipper, consignee. traveller and the people generally. The Rail- road Commission court occupies . peculiar position. It is not enly a court of law but also a court of equity, of arbitration and of diplomacy.
 The ddcket shows everything If importance that has been accomplished. but it does not tell all that has been done. The railroads, at the suggestion or request of the Commission, have m1ds hundreds of minor im- provements, which having never cone to a public hearing, have never appeared on the docket ouch as erecting track scales, in- Istallng signal bells, telephone connections, establishing flag stntions, obtaining cars for shippers, improving train service and shipping facilities, provid- i'm, conveniences at depot wait ing roon,s, refunding of over ol1ar9es, and numerous other uatters for the conveniences and comfort of travellers, shivpers and others. These toouests, when just as reason able, have been granted by cuperin tendents. when in their ilrdiction, with promptness dS1 eourtesy, through cores

 WHY I ASK ANOTHER TERM
 In few public offices do ex- perience and a knowledge which can only come from experience, count for so much as in the work of the Railroad Commis- sion.
 For this reason, if no other, 1 I am sure 1 am better able to serve you than when you first did me the honor of electing me.
 But there are other reasons chief of them being the refund cases now being litigated, which began prior to my administra- tion. feel I should be allowed to fiaish-and am better qualified to finish than one unacqualnted with their ramifications.
 We have won in the Supreme Court the injunction suits of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company, and the St. Louis Southwestern Rail- way Company, and we have in our office a master to audit the claims for overcharges, but we have not been able to return any of this money to the people. 1 However, we hope to do so, some time during the beginning of the year 1914.
 The suits against the Rock l Island, Kansas City Southern, Frisco and manylother roads are still pending, and it will take more than two years to get all of these matters adjusted, the docket clear and the people in possession of their sovercharges, and 1 think it a poor policy to swap horses amid stream. "
 You have won these suits under my administration, owing to the able counsel ofJudge Jos. NJ Hill, of Fort Smith, who so ably presented our cases to the Supreme Court aud won those that have been tried, and 1 ask that you continue me in office until I am able to finish all these cases, that we may leave behind the feeling that we have already saved the people of Arkansas approximately one million dollars, and large sum per annum for for the future, by the restora- 1 tion of Commission Tariff No. s.
 With no criticism to make of any opponent. l have the honor to be, very respectfully,
 GEORGE w. BELLAMY. (Adv.)

Eskimos Puzzle Science.

No satisfactory solution of the ques- tion of the origin of the Eskimo has ever been given. Whether they came from Asia or from North America. whether they are related to the more Southern American Indians or to the Tartars of the great Asian continent is still open to debate.

Think at least twice before using your voice once if it is well trained, and try never to utter word that is not clear. distinct and we'll modulated.

Do you realize from your observa-
tion in travel that nothing can do so
much for or against creating a good
impression of town among travelling
people as the conditions surrounding
its railway station? With people
who do not stop at the station it is
practically their only glimpse of the
town, and for those visiting the place
the first Impressions is usually the
more lasting. If we want to be a
de-awake town desiring to attract
business and capital we cannot begin
at better place and in more prac-
tical way than to make the threshold
of our town inviting The Railroad is
exerting every effort to make our
Station grounds beautiful. Let us
make the surroundings adjacent to
the depot more attractive DO away
with posting bills on sheds and houses
near by and use a liberal amount Of
white wash on out buildings and fen
ces; haul off all debris and trash. and
see what big improvement a little
work will make.-Sec. Civic League.

TO TRY BECKER MAY 4
Whitman Wishes to Open Case
Against Lieutenant Soon.

New York, April 13.-The second
trial of Charles S. Becker, former po-
lice lieutenant found guilty of murder
with the four gunmen executed today,
will begin May A, if District Attorney
Whitman has his way Becker was the
most watched prisoner in the Tombs
yesterday. Every prisoner wished to
know how he had taken the decision of
Justice Golf that the gunmen could
not have new trial.
Becker said nothing. He went
through the usual routine and took his
exercise, attending service, and went
to his cell. His face was drawn, his
lips bit closer together, but to those
who watched him he gave no outward
evidence of his thoughts.
There were no visitors except news
paper men. To these he refused to
comment on the decision of Justice
Golf or the approaching death of the
gunner.
Becker read the papers eagerly all
day, scanning them carefully for any
straw that might help his own case
when he is again placed on trial.

PRESIDENT WILSON EX-
PRESSES DISAPPROVAL
Proposal in Congress to Curtain Anti
Trust Legislation At This Term
is Not Approved. Opposi-
tiOn is Growing.

Washington, d. c., April 13.-Un-
qualified dissapproval was expressed
by President Wilson today of the pro-
posal IN congress to curtail the anti
trust legislation for this session. La
ter members of the house judiciary
subcommittee who had conferred with
the president on the subject declared
an effort would be made to report out
strictly a single measure embodying
the substance of all the separate ten
tative trust bills and that legislation
also would be pressed to meet the de-
mands of labor for restriction of the
injunction of powers of the court.
That opposition to carrying out the
full program is growing among SEN
ate and house Democrats continued in
evidence today Senator Newlands,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, said his committee expect
ed to report a general trust bill soon.
The members had not agreed upon he
details and before the committee de-
termines finally upon the amendments
already prepared to preclude action
at this session upon anything but a
bill to create an interstate trades COM
mission with broad powers and ex-
press direction to investigate the
whole problem of big business and to
recommend to the next congress what
Legislation supplemental to the Sher-
man law should be enacted.
Unless this plan should be agreed to
the committee will proceed to perfect
out. Besides the members of the
house judiciary committee President
Wilson has conferred with Represen-
tative Webb of North Carolina. AT
ter the conference the subcommittee
determined upon the following pro-
gram stating that after consideration
of the antitrust Legislation with a
view to reporting as rapidly as pos
sible single bill comprising the prin-
ciples of the Clayton's bills on trade
relations, nterlocking directorates,
holding companies and definitions, in
clusion of the anti-injunctio clause in
this bill or in separate measure to
regulate the issue of injunctions and
restraining orders in strikes and other
labor controversies, to provide due no
tice to all parties concerned and jury
trial rights in contempt proceedings
for violation of injunction DEGREES.
Chairman Clayton of the House ju-
dietary committee said tonight he
hoped to have the antitrust bills re-
ported to the house within a fort
night The interstate trade commits
sion bill was introduced in the house
today by Representative Covington
of Maryland of the interstate COM
merce committee with minor changes.
The principal change in the bills as
made public have been amended to
provide that an equity suit may be
brought under the attorney generals S
direction under the antitrust law and
thee ourt may on consideration of
testimony refer the suit to the trade
commission to ascertain and report on
appropriate form of decree and that
upon such report suit may be filed.
