STITUTiONALITY.
SAYS NOT ORIGINAL BILL

Its Kind Since Law Is Effective.
Fort Smith.


Demurrers attacking the validity of
the minimum wage act governing the
employment of female labor were sus-
tanned in the Circuit Court by Judge
Paul Little in the case OF J. B.
Grove, operator of laundry. The de-
murrer contained the following con
tentions:
That the bill signed by Governor
George W. Hays was not the same bill
passed by the legislature during its
1915 session. That the bill was lille
gal because it imposed a penalty upon
an employe as Well as an employer
|. That the bill Is in conflict with sec
''tion 2, article OF the state constitu
ton. That the bill is in conflict with
the fourteenth amendment of the fed
oral constitution. Judge Little upheld
all four points.
1t was contended by counsel for tho
defendant that several words were
omitted from the original bill In the
bill signed by tho governor.
Grove was convicted in 4 Justice
Court. The state announced it would
appeal from the decision. the first of
its kind since the act went into effect

Rocky Roads of China.

We all know the description of the

about the roads in China There are
so-caled roads, certainly. upon which
the people move about, but | have
seldom met one that was any better
than the surrounding country, and
very, very often on this journey l
met roads where it was ease and lux
ury TO move off them on to the neigh
boring plowed field. The recipe for
a road there in the North seems to
be- Take piece OF the country that
is really too bad to plow or to use for
any agricultural purposes whatever.

Fort Smith. known far and wide for
years as one of the biggest whiskoy
towns in the United States, became "a.
loonless at II O'Clock Saturday. A.
this hour the order of Judge Paul LIZ
tie. who decided last March against
the liquor interests. became effective.
The order reads that the saloons must
close at midnight, but the IL O'Clock
closing law OF the city made them
close an hour earlier.
There was no disorder as the lights
were extinguished for the last time.
At the more prominent bars there were
scenes of confusion. The crowds IN
creased as the fatal hour drew near.
and although bartenders were swamp
ed every one secured service.
"Leven O'Clock gentlemen" tn"
proprietor announced as closing time
came
The crowds were loath to leave
"All out" was the next command.
but still the crowd fingered And as
long as they fingered the supply VI
wet goods decreased. They crowded
the bars Glasses were abandoned.
everything went by the bottle During
the closing hours whiskey sales by
the glass over the bar stopped. Those
who wanted whiskey bought it by the
bottle or jug.
Some paid some forgot. some waited
for their supply to be wrapped others
grabbed the bare bottles and fled To
the streets. At one bar two police
men were required to empty the place
This required fully 10 minutts.
The liquor interests won their fight
last January in the County Court when
Judge Ezra Hester decided they had
secured the signatures of majority
of the white adult residents Of the
city.
