retires from the ring. Shugrue is 4
brainy lad, persevering and courageous,
qualifications absolutely essential for a
man to become one of the most sue
cessful boxers in the world, and it is
the opinion Of his legal friends that a
fellow like Shugrue also would make
a good lawyer. Shugrue has been hav-
ing trouble with his eyes of late and
may be forced to retire.

CLEWS ON COTTON.

Henry Clews missed it when nc predicted a downward break in cot ten last week, says the Beaumont Enterprise, and it may be that he misses it gain in his letter of Apri IT, in which he says that the statis- tical position. of cotton cannot be re- sarded as strong, and he therefore estimates that a slump may be ex- pected
 Clews declares that the principal factor in the situation that lends q sustaining influence tc prices is the probability of small crop. It is re- garded as likely that the acreage wlli be cut at least 15 per cent although tie climates of the cut have been gradually scaled down until many of the bears are pessimistic as to any cut being made Clews regards as another strong sustaining influence to present prices the reasonable out look that the European war will terminate in the summer or early autumn.

A WOMANss ANrI-WAR CONGRESS

Another congress is going to mee to do away with war. This time i will comprise women, and will ge under the name of the internationa 1 The Hague at the end of the month American delegates, comprising d handful of leading women, are eli route.
 Though the women do not think they can stop the present war, they hope to engender enough influence in the seats of the mighty to shorten it. They are particularly anxious to pass resolutions condemning secret diplomacy, and in this they will gain the approval of all mankind.
 Secret diplomacy has had it's day. There would have been no war if the people had had choice,' one of the leaders remarked.
 She is right. It is to be hoped that the women put crimp in the tro- cious business of those titled and feted gumshoe gentlement who fer ment wars.
 As usual, Mrs. Emmeline Plank hurst, threatens the efficacy of the congress by indulging in large chunks of loose talk.
 "It is unthinkable," she said in an interview, "that English women should meet German women and Hls- cuss terms of peace while the hus- bands, sons and brothers Of those women are the men who are murder ing our men on the seas and who committed the awful horrors Of war in Belgium and elsewhere; one of my own daughters is unfortunately among them."
 However, German women are just as sincere about the horrors of war as any other woman. PrCportlonate- ly, more of their men are killed in this conflict than those of any other single nation Besides, reports have it that the German women delegates to the congress have as many ideas about the modus operandi of discouraging war as Mrs. Pankhurst has, though that may not be credltlng them with many ideas.

FALSE IDEALS OF SUCCESS.

School children, youths, girls, men and women are daily being taught false ideals of success.
 These false ideals consist in think ine success means beating somebody else.
 Some persons tell us to work learn, advance and continue the cycle until we are dubbed great men or at least successful" men.
 This notion is conventional ides that should be buried in the limbo cf forgotten things.
 Real success means achievement by doing the best you can. This re ouires the most perfect discipline o self, the highest standard of nor ality, and doing the best you can.
 It has nothing to do with trying to excel somebody else, law O struggle for mastery that dates iron the time when men were beasts ane the strongest survived.
 The old idea of competition k shaky: it's on the skids. It is no cnly fashioned, but destructive.
 Progress, has never been made by ccmretition. The human race has been advanced by cooperation anc organization. These have led to the triumphs of mankind.
 The success germ at the expense O. another merely advances yourself and usually sets back the other. The world does not gain whit.

THE MINIMUM WAGE LAW.

One of the provisions of the mini mum wage and maximum hour Jaw enacted by the last legislature de- clares that mo females shall be en- p1oyed in any manufacturing, me- cAanical or mercantile establishment, laundry or by an express or trans Eortation company, in this state, for more than nine hours in any one day, or more than six days or more than s5i hours in any one week It also provides that women shall not be employed for more than six hours continuously without a rest period of 45 minutes, except when six and one half hours of employment terminat- if1g not later than 1:30 p. IT,, is com sidered a days work. It is provid- ed that the commission may grant permission for women to labor more lhan the allotted time in some oc. equations, but in this event the workers must be paid time and-a- half for such overtime.
 These are the. provisions of most interest to Pine Bluff. It will be seen that an employer cannot work his female help eight hours for five days, and let them put in IA hours cn the sixth day. Nine hours make day for women, except under per mission from the commission and when the overtime is paid for at the rate of time and-a-half.
 # Tn this respect it is pertinent to rote that Arkansas is apparently more progressive than New York, for the Empire state legislature has just enacted a statute that will permit the employment of women and chill dren for 12 hours day. Doubtless, some of those New York legislators are the kind of Fasteners who re- fuse to believe that Arkansas people

 At least a quarter of his answers to MT. Ivens, Colonel Roosevelt turn ed into definitions of his political prin- Iciples.
 Barnes BOssed Printing, Immediately after court was open ed copy of the report of the Bayne committee, which investigated Albany county affairs, insofar as it related to printing, was admitted to the record. This had to do with contracts for state printing let to the Albany Jour- nal, MT. Barnes paper, and other con- cerns, and the assignment Of certain of the contracts.
 Excerpts from the report then were read. The first part had to do with gambling, disorderly houses and the payment of money to various officials. The report of the committee was made in 1911.
 The majority of the stock of the Journal company, the report pointed out, was owned by Barnes. Contracts let to the Journal company, it also said, were farmed cut to the Argus company, which paid the Journal company 15 per cent.
 The report stated William Barnes controlled printing in Albany, vir- tually owned one company, owned ;, one-fourth of another company and ] collected tribute from the third com pany.
 It was stated that the Argus com pany bid lower than other competi- tors for state work, but was unable i to get the business because it was "outside the ring"
 Padding of public printing for the benefit of the Journal company" was described by the report. Another part read:
 Duplicate payments for public printing made to the Journal com pany."
 Barnes Graft Beneficiary. One excerpt was: "The most con- spicuous beneficiary of graft, public Iextravagance and raiding of the mu- nicipal treasury, we find from the evil dence to be William Barnes, himself as the owner of the majority of the stock. How much more than the ma jority of it's stock he owned he re- fused to disclose"
 ] Another excerpt read: "Mr. Barnes dictated where the printing goes and the Argus gives up to the Journal, in order to obtain printing"
 The par value of MT. Barnes stock in the Lyon concern was $75,o00, the report stated, with the comment that Mir. Barnes would not say how he got it.
 Articles which appeared in the New l York magazines and newspapers about Albany politics then were ad- mitted to the record. The terms machine politics. Boss Barnes ane Boss Platt," appeared repeatedly lr these articles.
