A CORKER WITH RED HAIR
(Minneapolls Tribune.N

"Jeanette's corker. She won't do anything rash even if she ha. red hair"
 So say the suffragists of New York who know intimately Mis- Jeanette Rankin, the dainty bit ol femininity from Montana who is the first woman elected to sit in the Am erican congress.
 Despite the ancient superstitions the 4S4 male members of nongress probably will not worry over the hirsute pigments of the Montana stateswoman. She may live up to the old English notions about talk ativeness, fiery temper and resent fitness of contradiction, but she is just as likely to redeem the folk lore traditions of steady purpose and loyal friendships. Victor Mur- dock and Red" Hayes of Califor- mia have made Congress sit up and take notice of red hair. but as the members gazed upon the resplendent aureoles they never felt any Adam son law qualms of fear. Indeed, when Miss Rankin shall have settled into her niche of state it may be that her brothers will find vent for their feelings in the Irish ditty: Neigh for the apple and ho for the
 peari
 But give me the girl with the pret-
 ty read hair.
 An. but there well may be for aging of dictionaries to learn what a "corker" may be. Here is the way webster's New International de- fines it:
 CoRKER-Something that corks or confines as a cork does; specif.,. slang, as unanswerable or conclu- sive argument, statement or fact; a settler; also, a person or thing of an extraordinary or remarkable kind.

BUY ARKANSAS GOODS.

A farmers wife told the writer
rec ntly that she had 1900 cans of
| 1915 peaches that she had not been
able to sell. Doubtless within a
radius of 80 miles of her home 100000
cans of Michigan and New York
peaches have been sold to the ladies
of the towns and citiss. Why not
ask the grocer for Arkansas peaches
and Arkansas tomatoes and all other
kinds of canned goods and thus make
good market for Arkansas food
stuffs? Now is a good time for some
practical patriotism. Try it. Let
everybody ask next week for Arkan-
sas peaches and let everybody buy
literally, especially of the small
farmer who peddles his own peaches.
Then don't beat down the price. Last
year most farmers lost money on
their peaches and so this year let
every town and city housekeeper buy
literally and pay good prices and
can Arkansas peaches and have Ar
kansas peaches to cat next winter,
Why not put up a lot of peach but
ter for the school lunches for the
youngsters?s Let every ladies' aid So
ciety and every ladies' club have a.
new roll call for the next three
months and let every member respond
with her number of cans of Arkan-
sas peaches and her number Of
glasses of Arkansas peach and grape
jam.

A hundred years ago Europe was

rulers. There was d sire for peace
such as today is growing in the hearts
of Europe's fighting nations. States
men sought some means of making
peace enduring, and then. as now,
league of nations to enforce it
seemed the only practicable plan.
On November 20, 1915, treaty was
signed by the governments of Russia,
Prussia. Austria and Great Britain. to
which three years later France gave
adherence. providing that "the high
contracting parties have agreed to re-

to the examination of such measures
as at each Of these epochs shall be
judged most salutary for the peace

For seven years Europe was ruled
by the concert of the powers created
by the treaty of November 20. 1915
and butteressed by the Holy Alliance.
The first rift in the harmony came in
1920. 1t was due to the fact that
there had been growing in Prussia
and Austria al impulse to use the
league of nations-the "league u en-
force peace''-for the purpose of sup
pressing democratic uprisings that
threatened the autocr control of
Europe. The spirit of democracy was
abroad in tne world-in France. in
Italy. in Spain, in Austria.
At the congress of Troppau. in No.

the logical sequence to the original
treaty, since. if peace were to be
kSpt, any disturber of the peace mus,
be suppressed. But Great Britain was
! unpersuaded. The break came when,
in 1922, it was proposed that Francs

only keep vehicles off the streets te

THE OVERWORKED SUPREME
COURT.

As long as the supreme court of Ar
kansas finds it convenient to take a
summer recess extending from the
middle of July to the first of October,
it will be difficult to convince the man
in the field and the man in the shops
that the highest state tribunal is such
an over-worked body that an addition
al justice or some other costly relief is
required.
The average farmer and shop
worker is glad if he can get few
days off during the hot season; thou
sands of men get no vacation at all,
and thousands of professional and
business men are satisfied with two
weeks off once year.
The supreme court of Arkansas
Monday recessed until the first Mon
day in October. That means that the
Justice may resume work about Oc-
tober L. They will enjoy rest of at
least ten weeks.
If the court is so overworked as to
make another justice necessary, as
was recently declared, why shouldn't
the tribunal reduce its summer vaca-
ton to a month or six weeks?
The people who pay governmental
bills are compelled to get along with
out a ten weeks vacation, and they
will hardly reconcile the long summer
recess of the supreme court with the
cry that the tribunal is called upon
to perform so much work that its
membership is not sufficiently large
The way the average worker will look
at it is: If there is so much work that
more help is necessary, why don't they
work few weeks longer in each year
instead of closing the court down fol
eleven whole weeks?

KILLING AN INDUSTRY.

4 OF all the ill-advlSed or dlSlngenlOuS pro
posals which have been aired in the present con-
|gress, the bill providing an appropriation Of
eleven million dollars for the construction Of a
government armor plant stands in the fore
| front of wastefulness. It is included In the
navy bill and has passed both houses There is
unhappily small hope Of killing it in confer
! ence
This project could originate only in wisdom
superior to recognized facts. The intention is
to have the government expend the money to
build colossal plant, which Of course can be
operated only by persons skilled in this great
industry. These persons are naturally at pres
ent engaged in operating private armor plants
in various large communities which have been
built up entirely by these important companies,
which would be put out of business-as would
any conceivable private concern-by aggres-
sive federal competition.
The Bethlehem Steel company has invested
In its armor plate industry about seven million
dollars. It publishes reports showing that it
has never charged the federal government ex-
orbitant prices for its product, and that the
government is now paying much less for armor
than any other nation and getting a better
product. It now offers to manufacture one
third Of the armor plate required for the con-
templated three-year naval program, approx
mately 10000 tons, at a price of 1895 ton,
which is thirty dollars ton less than it is now
receiving. The price is lower than has been
paid in the last ten years It is evidently
much lower than the cost to the government in
federal plant would be.
