OUR BRILLIANT
 FORMER PROSECUTOR.

The following news dlspdtcn cllp- ped from the Arkansas Gazette set ting forth the manner in which the Benton County fraud case was set tied satisfactorily to the defendants Bud Smith and Jake Longan, erst- while politicians-largely through the efforts of our former prosecuting at torney, A. c. Fuller, during his re cent term as prosecutor is interesting in fact ludierous. We are wondering whether Benton County people Will fall for the tactics. The news item follows:
 "State vs. H. c. Smith and J.
 c. Longan; appeal from Wash
 ington Circuit Court.
 Smith and Longan were joint
 ly indicted by the Grand Jury or Benton County for conspiracy, at
 leged to have been committed by eonspiring together to defraud the county in a transaction concern ing the purchase of tract or land. and the trial resulted in a
 verdict and judgment for defend ants. The bill of exceptions was
 not signed by the judge and as
 to Longan there was no agree. ment between his attorney anu the states attorney as to a blll of exceptions, so as to him there is nothing here to review, anu
 the judgment in his favor is al
 firmed
 "As to Smith, an attempt was
 made by the attorneys to comply
 with the statute in this respect,
 but the motion for a new trial
 which was necessary to bring the
 ruling before this court for re-
 view. was not brought into the
 record, and the judgment as to
 him must also be affirmed.
 It will be remembered that ths case was tried in the October tern of court. Just before the case wen to the jury and after the guilt of tnf defendants was being openly declared the noint of law was raised that th' clause stipulating that the amount o

WHO WAS IT?

Undoubtedly the most interesting feature of the charge, so far as the crowd was concerned, was the per sonal touch that was given when Judge Naples referred to a certain newspaper of Benton county and the charges that he said had been made by its editor against his own personal integrity and that of jury of the last term of court. He direc- ted the grand jury to call the said ed itor before it and to find out just what he knew about the truth of the charges. And if the editor did not know of his own knowledge, to direct him to tell the names of those Who had imparted him the facts on which he had based his statements.
 If those facts are true, you should indict me-" said the judge, and II you find that they are true l shall resign within a minute. He said he cared nothing for newspaper at tacks on Naples, the man, but that Naples, the judge. was a public offl- cer and his acts should be above sus- picion. He must also be given pro

CORRECT, BROTHER.

We are confident the majority of the citizens of Benton county are glad that Governor Hays ve- toed the Hot Springs gambling bill though most of them feel II would have looked much better II he had vetoed it the day 1t came to him if that was his ultimate intent ti0n. If the legislature Is willing and has the power to al low and license gambling in Hot Springs, it has the power to H. eense theft in Renton county, or bootlegging in some other county. Our laws say gambling a felony and any member Of the legisla- ture who votes to allow felony has queer appreciation of mor- als and public welfare Rogers Democrat.
 Let us take pleasure in addin gten County to the glad list and make northwest Arkansas uhan imous on the subject; and We haven heard from the county seat either.
