INN count of the action of Judge Paul Little at Fort Smith in declaring the act unconstitutional. His decision must, of course. be sustained by the supreme court before it becomes ef- fective
 "There has been very little trouble in enforcing the law" said Deputy Commissioner Mckinley and there has been only two prosecutions under it in the state. One was the Fort Smith case and the other a case at Jonesboro now pending before a jus tee of the peace. The merchants and others have generally accepted it, and have been regulating their busi- ness to meet the renuirements of the Jaw. There are similar laws in many other state, some of them more dras- tic. There may be some defects in the law, which the, next legislature will probably remedy, but there can be no doubt that the principle of the law is most salutary."

Friday special, the Chicago disas- ter.
 The entire civilized world was hor- rified last week when the Eastland, laden with 2,500 souls, keeled over and 1900 innocent men, women and children, lost their lives. That this was due to carelessness adds in a measure to the horror of the disas- ter. The fact remains that all these pleasure-seekers met their fate un- der the most terrible conditions that widest imagination could conjure.
 Many camera+men risked life and limb to get views of the hull from different angles While on the face of it, such haste to secure scenes of horrible catastrophe seems ill-timed and callous. after a bit of considera- tion, it will readily be seen that ) millions will have more effect in se- curing remedy for the recurrence of the dreadful calamities which occur from, time to time. It seems that only after lives have been lost and much sorrow and woe befalls us that we realize the dangers which surround us often through carelessness and greed It is at such time and for such a purpose that the topical week ly fulfills a noble purpose. It brings home to us as no written message. a desire to bring sunshine and happi- ness into the lives of our fellow-man instead of misery, death, desolation grief and suffering such as the dread full Chicago disaster.
 Through the Weekly. the whole world will be informed of the East land disaster. and it is to be hoped that it will help in establishing more s!rineent laws for the good and well fare of the people.
 The picture willa be shown at the Orpheo Friday.
