LAWRENCE FOOT, u. S. MARKET ING AGENT, REPORTS PROG
 RESS IN CAMPAIGN.
WOULD DOUBLE BUSINESS
Claims If 2,o0o Farmers Take Advan. taee of Market, the Result Will Be That System Once Started Will
 Grow of It's Own Accord.
Little Rock.

L1tt1e ROck.-
 Fifty of the 60 .ce plants in the state probably will be induced to buy dressed hogs from farmers during the fall and winter, according to Law renee Foot, special agent in market ing of the United States Department of Agriculture. MT. Foot estimates that 5000 hogs will be marketed in this way during the season.
 Practically all ice plants in the state have refrigerator and cold stor- age facilities that would enable them to successfully handle dressed hogs" :" he said. Judging from the records of the plants that have been working along this line in Mississippi and Ar kansas during the last two years, full ly 6,000 hogs should be bought by them this season. That will mean $60,000 to the farmers who sell them. They probably will receive better prices al so, than if they shipped their hogs alive to other markets.
 The 1000 farmers who take advan- tage of the market will realize it's value and the result will be that once the system is started it will grow of it's own accord. I would estimate the second years business at double the first, judging from records elsewhere, or 12,000 hogs.
 he factories will cut up, cure and smoke the products by the most ap- proved methods and the communities in which they are located will absorb easily the meat they have to sell. An other advantage of the system is that it will enable farmers to put up their waste. Much of the home prepared meat which spells is not properly chill ed before being cured"

BRIEFLY RELATED.

Attornews over the state are still pounding on the worK done by the last Arkansas Legislature. Up to date about 12 measures passed by that body have been assailed in the courts for one cause or another, principally, however, upon constitutional grounds. The latest effort along those lines IS contained in a brief just filed in the last Legislature giving juries discre- tion to assess death penalty or life term in the penitentiary in capital cases.

Attorney General Wallace Davis gave out his first official opinion in which he held that the county judge of Montgomery county can order the county seat election petitioned for by residents of Womble, despite an ap- peal from the courts decision grant ing the petition. He further held, how ever that tie circuit court of Mont gomery county may, on sufficient grounds hold up the election until dis position of the appeal.
 The opinion was asked by Gibson Witt, of Hot Springs, an attorney re- tained by Mount Ida residents in the montgomery county county seat fight. Womble recently lost an election seek ing to change the county seat from Mount Ida to Womble. After the cleo ton Womble residents petitioned for a second election, and their petition was granted by the county judge. An appeal from his decision granting the election was taken.
 According to the opinion by the at torney general, whether Montgomery will, on December 1, the date set, hold another county seat election will de- pend upon the circuit courts action if motion for stay in the election proceedings is passed.

A REAL DEMOCRAT

T.. The selection of a lawyer, who Is
fundamentally democratic, to the Of.
ace of district court, is a healthy
sign of the times. ~:
When Judge Homer B. Dibell was
appointed commissioner of the: SUI
preme court of Minnesota, the COVER
nor selected Judge Bert. Fesler for
the vacancy caused by the promotion
of Commissioner Dibell. When we
apply the adjectives Fundamentally
democratic" as describing any one,
we mean that he is a close student
of social and economic problems and
understands and is willing to apply
the remedy which a feeble economic
system requires. We believe Hon.
Bert Fesler is such a man.
During the twenty years he has
been resident of this state he has
been in the vanguard, advocating po-
itical reforms which have since be-
come popular. But he agitated and
advocated while it was thought I'M
popular to do so. More than that he
has been an able and sincere advo-
cate, which counts for so much
among those who may disagree with
ones opinions. He has steadfastly
kept the faith.''
He has been an ardent friend to
the cause of union labor in times
when it needed friends and trade
unionism gains a signal victory every
pointed or elected to the bench.

THE PUBLIC FORUM

alysis is systemized knowledge, and
since the object of all knowledge is
for higher, purer and better living
the advance of science should in
truth mark a better world. During
the last century science has made
wonderful strides, but the poor live
no better now than at the beginning
of the century.
The aeroplane was invented, but
instead of being blessing to human
ity as it was intended to be it has
become the instrument by means of
which thousands of people and great
works of art are being destroyed in
the inhuman conflict across the sea.
And now that great inventor, Thos
Edison, has turned his mind away
from making things useful to human
ity toward inVenting guns which
shall have greater slaughtering pow
er than those already known. But
then even such useful things as auto
mobiles are rarely of any use to the
poor, for there are many who have
never ridden in automobiles, while
still many more have used them
when attending funeral
Ways have been found for heating
houses better, for building them bet
ter and with more conveniences, but
the poor still live in their miserable
novels, and it does them no good to !
see others live in warm, spacious
houses, nor would it do them any
good to see others live in houses of
diamonds. Physicians have learned
to prevent tuberculosis, but that dis
ease is still raging because of the in
sanitary conditions of the mines, fac
tories and workshops.
Oh! what an idle mockery it is for
the physician to tell his patient, the
one who earns $12 week and has a
family of six, to stop working for a
while, eat good, sleep good and not
worry. Yet the order is what science
