DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM
BY Hon. JOSEPH DAVIES

| Briefly stated, the procedure in the
enforcement of substantive provisions
of law declared in both the Federal
Trade Commission act and the Clayton
act, is the following:
Whenever the Commission believes
that any person, etc., has been using
unfair methods of competition or vio-
lating the provisions of the Clayton act
and that it's intervention in the matter
would be to the interest of the public it
shall serve a notice on the party COM
planned of, who shall have the right to
appear before it and show cause why
an order should not be made to require
that such practice cease. Other parties
for good cause shown are allowed to
intervene in the proceeding. On hear
| ing had, if the Commission shall be of
opinion that the practices are prohib bit
ed by the act, it shall serve an order on
the person complained Of to cease and
desist. If such person fails to obey the
order of the Commission, the latter
may apply to the circuit court of ap-
peals to enforce the same, and file a
transcript of the record in the case.
The court shall then take jurisdiction of
the proceedings and have power to af-
firm, modify, or set aside the order of
the Commission, but the findings of the
Commission as to facts, if supported by
evidence, shall be conclusive, and no
additional evidence is permitted to be
adduced without again referring the
case to the Commission for a rehear-
ing. The only review of the judgment
and decree of the court is by writ of
certiorari to the Supreme Court, as pro-
vided by law. Any party required to
cease from using such method of COM
petition or from violating the aforesaid
provision Of the Clayton act, may OBJ
tain court review in a similar man
ner.
The judicial review Of the orders of
the Commission thus provided for is
what is sometimes termed narrow re-
view. That is to say, the Commission
conclusions of fact are conclusive, if
supported by evidence, but the court
may modify or reverse the order on the
basis of constitutional provisions, alb
sence Of jurisdiction, Or violation of
rules of procedure provided in the act.

There is situation in Washington that is hostile to
business There has been other time in years in
which there little crusading against business in
which business had little fear from politics. There has
been time years in which legitimate business could

The feeling is growing that Wall Street pros

Street bankers idea of prosperity per for loans with
cent commission and 81 per of the stock

Wall Streets days of exploitation and gambling prosperity

the New York bankers could take the and leave the
of the country drinking skm-mil The dream of
vval of Hannasm which is noted by the Washington
respondent of The World is only dream It will

We have doubt that the reactionary Republican lead
ready to sell their party Wall Street again.
They all giving full voice Wall Streets calamity cry,

The Wilson Administration is warning business,

When the Government at Washington confronted by the
most delicate and perpexng problems that have beset

CAR ON EXHIBITION
IN Pine BLUFF
Hundreds Visit Salcsr00ms of Mann
Motor Car CO., Local Dealer, to
Inspect Long Awaited Car
Of Mystery.

Dodge Brothers car has sarriy ed!
To hundreds of Pine Bluff motorists,
the above message that WAS flashed
along automobile row yesterday, was
the signal for an excited dash to the
salesrooms of Mann Motor Car Co.,
local dealer for Dodge Brothers on
Main street. Probably never before
in the history of the automobile has
the advent of new motor car been
awaited with interest equal to that
shown by thousands of automobilists
in all sections of the country
In the first two hours, following
the opening of Mr.. Mann's salesroom,
yesterday, constant stream of visi-
tors poured though tine entrance
anxious to secure their first glimpse
of the car which has been appropri-
ately called the Gar of Mystery
Judging by the universal comments
~of the critical visitors and rival deal
ers in the city, the new car is all and
more than the public had expected
from the builders.
"In bringing out their new motor
Car, Dodge Brothers wisely determin-
ed not to court an advance appeal,
says Mr.. Mann, local dealer, mo
whit of information was to be di
vulged until Dodge Brothers idea OF
motor car stood complete Ii every
detail. That the automobile dealers
of the country reposed an immense
confidence in the big Detroit COM
pany is shown by the fact that over
$4,000 dealers wrote in for the privi-
1ege of selling the car, before any
nf fi,.ati hnd
been released from the factory. In
Pine Bluff as elsewhere. we have
taken orders from customers merely
on the confident belief that Dodge
Brothers would establish new
standard of value in the automobile
industry"
Dodge Brothers new automobile is
a real car in every particular. Freak

aud the beautiful streaming body is
combined with a powerful 3O-35
horsepower motor, to make an ideal
Car for five passengers. 1t is big

wheels 80 by IL inches. The motor
is cast Ell bloc and has bore OF

inches. Electric lighting and start
ing apparatus is included, and the
equipment in every way suggests
the car OF $4,000 rather than one o.
$785, the price which Dodge Broth
sers have made. Real leather up
holstery and the latest type Of SELF
luhricating springs makes the ear
one of the easiest riding machines
that has ever been marketed. Among
the unusual features on the car is
the speedometer drive, which is con-
nected directly to the transmits sion
and is therefore practically trouble
proof The arrangement of the
transmission gears is also novel

in operation when the car is driven

night RIDERS ARE
BLAMED FOR fires
Men Who Oppose Renting Of Farms for
Cash in Newark Section Alleged
Incendiaries.

Newark, Jan. 29.-Three fires, all
supposed 10 have been of incendiary
origin, occurred within a short dis
lance of Newark Wednesday night.
Two of the fires are supposed to have
been started by alleged night-riders.
The dwelling on A. c. Martins place
in Oil Trough bottom was burned and
the barn on the place recently rented
by Will McAhrcn on Inc Island, was
destroyed Alleged night-riders are
supposed to have burned these build
ings.
Notices signed "Night-Riders" have
recently been served on land owners
warning them not to rent land for
money rent In most instances these
warnings have not born taken serious
ly and good deal OF land has been
rented for cash instead OF a part of the
crop. Mr.. Martins place and the place
occupied by Mr.. McAhron had both
been rented for cash. and it is suppos-
ed that the alleged night-riders applied
the torch.
The dwelling On w. E. Sells place
northwest of town was burned about
$50 o'clock last night. The house was
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Orvil Smith,
who were absent when the building
burned, having gone to the Point
neghborhood a few days ago to visit
relatives and look after livestock in
which Mr.. Smith was interested. Moth
ing was saved from the building, as
neighbors who discovered the fire ar
rived too late to save anything. It, is
thought that this fire was started by
parties who entered the house for the
purpose of robbing the place and then
set fire to the building to cover up
the robbery.
Mr.. Sells loss on the building was
about $4,000, with only $500 insurance.
Mr.. Smith had no insurance on his
household goods.

Cooperation Brings Results.
! That the hearty cooperation exist
ing between the Associated Charities
and the Volunteers Of America is
achieving great results in the way OF
helping the needy, is admitted by all
persons who are acquainted with the
work being done by those two organ
izatiCns.
The division Of the work appears

| ing its efforts principally to looking
after the women and children, most
| of them residents OF the city, and
the Volunteers looking after the tran
sients. most of whom are men. This
latter class, because it contains SO
many who are crooks" Of greater or
less degree. is difficult to handle, but
the experience gained by the Volun-
teers' officers, in their many years OF
work with this class, makes it com
paratively an easy problem for them
to solve.
