II must be a pessimist indeed, who
cannot see the benefits that will this
year accrue as the result Of the cam
paign for diversified farming in Ar
kansas. The monthly crop report, re-
Gently issued by the Department OF
Agriculture, shows the wisdom of the
movement, as increased yields of the
products of the farm, garden and or
chard are indicated this year.
While there has been a material ro
duction in the cotton acreage in Ar
kansas, the condition Of the crop on
May rs last indicates an increase in
the yield this year Of per cent per
acre as compared with the same pc
riod last year Last year, Arkansas
farmers raised 1,625,000 bushels OF
wheat, while the forecast Of the Agrl-
cultural Department on June l indi-
Gates yield this year Of 100000
bushels and the price per bushel on
June / was S123 as compared with
but 81 cents upon the same date a
year ago. If the estimates are borne
out by the final yield Of wheat this
year the farmers of the state should
profit to the extent Of S1,141,150 more
than last year Not in wheat alone
will the farmers profit, but the esti-
mated oats yield based upon the condi-
tion Of the crop on June /, promises
to aggregate 7S26,OOO bushels, as com
pared with the final estimate Of g.
100000 bushels for 1914. On June l
Of this year oats we're selling for 80
cents a bushel in Arkansas, while tie
market price on the same date year
ago was but 52 cents, indicating that
Arkansas oats raisers will this year
clear $1,450,SOO more than last year
on this crop.

STIRRED
BY VETO DECISION
STATE OF ARKANSAS WILL Be
$3,OOO,ooo BEHIND NEXT
YEAR.
WARRANTS TO DEPRECIATE
Funds Will Be Entirely Exhausted
After Auoust-Figurng How
state Can Pay Bills.
Little Rock,

lylllle iNOth,.
The decision handed down by Cir
cult Judge Hendrix in the case insll'
tuted by State Agricultural Commits
sioner John II Pape to test Governor
Hays veto of the appropriation bEis
passed by the last Legislature is caus'
ing much concern among the credi-
tors Of the state. If the decision Is
sustained by the supreme court it
means that an additional S6OO,OOO in
state interest will be on the market
before the convening Of the next Leg
islature with a depleted treasury 10
meet them. II was contended in the
circuit court that the veto is void be-
cause the governor failed to issue a
proclamation vetoing the appropria-
ton items This is made mandatory
by the constitution and the supreme
court several years ago so held, The
Inst Legislature appropriated S3,6OO,'
600 with only S3,O00,000 estimated
revenue for the biennial period.
II the governors veto Of 100000 is
permitted to stand the state viii be
in position to meet all outstanding
warrants up TO August this year Ac-
cording to figures compiled the state
will be in the neighborhood Of $1,000
600 behind when the next Legislature
meets and in the meantime state war
rants will greatly depreciate in value
Some predict that they will be selling
as low as 60 cents before the 1917
Legislature convenes to handle the
situation. Business men furnishing
the state institutions with supplies ara
already making inquiries as to how
the state can pay them after August
when the funds OF the state will be
entirely exhausted and no money In
sight for more than six months The
1915 tax collections will all be In the
treasury and paid out by the last Of
July.

In a recent talk with Miss Mary
McCabe. chairman Of the Safety Com
mittee Of the Fire Prevention Asso-
citation, Governor Hays said that he
hoped the people of the state would
observe the Fourth this year in as
sane and as safe a fashion as pos5i-
BILE. Let the people be more patriot
ic," he said. Let them buy flags and
hold patriotic celebrations, instead or
buying fireworks and causing needless
loss Of life" Miss McCaDe is outlin-
ing plans for a safe and sane obsery-
ance Of the Fourth of July and hopes
to be able to interest the club women
of the state in the movement
Miss McCabe was in Chicago on In
dependence Day last year, and says
every house was decorated with
United States flag, and that nearly
every person wore a flag. All the for
eigners who had been naturalized dur
ing the year took part in a monster
reception.
According to statistics compiled hv
the American Medical Association, the
largest number Of casualties on
Fourth Of July occurred in 1908, when
there we're 5,623 killed and injured.
The figures for succeeding years have
been; For 1909, 215 killed, 5C92

GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE KILLED
STATUTES OF OKLAHOMA AMI
MARYLAND ARE DECLARED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS
Chief Justice White Decision Hods
That II Was a Violation Of the
Fifteenth Amendment.

Washington In a decision so
broad as probably to annul grand
father clause enactments in every
Southern state which has adopted
such laws, the supreme court held in
valid Oklahoma and Maryland legisla'
tion aimed at restricting the negro
vote The decision was unanimous.
The decision in short, was that 1t is
a violation Of the fifteenth amendment
for a state to select arbitrarily a date
such as 1866, and provides that per-
sons not qualified to vote on that
date or whose ancestors were not so
qualified, are barred from voting or
must submit to voting tests not re-
quired Of others.
The court further held that elcc.
tion officials who sought to enforce
such clauses could be held amenable
to law for denying persons a right to
vote and that such officials could not
disregard the fact that tie fifteenth
amendment had stricken out Of state
law he word white" as a qualification
Of voting.
The court held that the State Of ON'
lahoma had not meant to provide a
literacy test for its voters, If the re-
striction as to those qualified to vote
in 1866 was illegal, and hence struck
down that test, although holding that,
standing alone, such a test Is consti'
tutional
Franchise ls Guaranteed.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision holding that It was a viola
tion OF the fifteenth amendment to
select an arbitrary date, such as 1866,
in fixing the qualification Of voters,

AN INTERESTING CASE

The inquiry which promised by the administration into
the sinking of the American vessel Frye by the German
auxiliary cruiser Eel Friedrich to depend the
question whether cargo of wheat consigned to England
orders is non-contraband conditional conraband The
wheat which constituted the Fes when she sailed
from Seattle her manifest showed to be delivered to
anyone whom the might specify. she had been
passed the German cruiser her might have fed the
British army and it might with equal probability have fed
worngmen and their families The question therefore
up determination: Must cruisers determining the rank
conditional contraband determine by the possibilities
by actual proof? Plainly at the time the Frye sunk the
snkers than that her might be used to
he British forces Is the possibility enough to justify
the detention of vessel and must there be direct
proof? The begerent of thinks that the possibility
is enough the the high thinks that his prop
erty should be wiped unless by absolute proof
we'll worth while to have ruling question of that sort

WRONG DIRECTION

A lot of right nice things have been written upon the
retirement of Senator Elihu Root, American of great
ability Mr. Roots trouble that he kept his face turned
steadfasty toward the past.
That of does not make much speed In for
ward direction and the people lost interest him in spite
of his splendid ability
The people pick for big things who goes
forward backward.
Root with great intellectual attachments proved
reactonary and couldn't keep up with the progressive
procession
We have in Cordova only of mediocre ability,
who might continue be leaders their vision had not been
curtailed
But they reaconary, and if Cordova is to advance
prosper the people with progressive ideas must be kept
to the front.
And its the people that create the sentiment not
the who place themselves pedestal and think that all
things must to them.
Even Senator Root with all his briancy, could not
the drift of sentiment he did, would not realize it. So
in Corova the special interests close their to the fact
that their reign is
Some of these might become useful citizens they
dvet themselves of superior airs and realize that
they better greater than the most humble voter
And when this is done harmony easily be brought
about in Cordova Because have little Influence,
money social Distinction gives him call to lord it
others and seek inure any who may hold
different political opinions ae
So let the present battle be fought to the bitter
end and after election day let there be harmony but of the
mutual kind

THAT RAILROAD ANNOUNCEMENT

is practically certain that the government will mmed
atey the Alaska Northern Railway So much may
fact the latest information from Washington to the effect
that the trunk line road to from Seward the Susitna
valley through the Broad Pass and the Tanana If
that be true is not likely that government road from
Chtina Fairbanks will be built wears to come But
the official announcement is daily expected that may
know definitely just what President Wilson has decided for
the present and future the expenditure of the $50 900
provided the railroad bill What Cordoya is really con-
cerned in is the building of branch line road from Mile 80
the Boring River coal fields the establishment of
the Copper River flats and the erection of coal
bunker and smeler in the neghborhood of Corova All
which would pay roll and prosperity
and growth to Cordova
