While Mr.. Hughes was speaking at

about the Danbury hatters' case?"

the case. reciting that 1t first came be-
fore the Supreme Court for determin-
alton as TO whether the plaintiff had
made out case according to his own
statement of it," At that time Mr..
Hughes was not a member OF the court,

THE questions OF fact were not before
the court" Mr.. Hughes said. They
were decided by the jury in the trial
court. The only question before the
Supreme Court was whether the trial
Judge had committed any error In stat
ing the law 10 the jury.
"One question was whether the men,
bers OF the union were responsible for
the acts OF the officers of the union. or
those who had conducted this alleged
boycott which was proved to the salts
faction OF the jury. That question was
a simple question in the law OF agency,
for men are always responsible for the
acts of those whom they control or
whom they authorize.
Whether the men who were defend
ants in that case knew with respect to
the actual transaction what was going
on. whether they had given authority
to do the things that were done. wheth-
er they had participated in the action
that was taken, whether they had suf-
ficient information to charge them with
knowledge off what was done, these
matters were all submitted TO the jury
who found a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff"

STATt POLITICAL.
WAR ZONE QUIET

Little Rock, Jan. 26.-Another week
has passed without any important
political developments. The candi-
dates are all abroad, carrying on a
vigorous campaign, Large fields Of
entries have been reduced in nearly
all instances to pairs. There are still
three candidates for governor, and all
of them are working hard to capture
the festive voter. Judge L. c. Smith,
the Arkansas county candidate, in
sists that he is factor in the race,
notwith standing the manner in which
DR.. Brough and Secretary Hodges
continue to occupy the center of the
stage. Judge Smith is making
speeches, as we'll as his opponents
and he had q big crowd to hear him
in Little Rock the other night. The
opening of headquarters by Sheriff
Hogan Oliver, candidate for state
auditor, and the rumor that Herbert
Bost of Johnson county will probably
not insist upon running for agricul-
tural commissioner were about the
only other developments.

PUBLICSCHOOL NOTES

Anna Mae Hanna has re-entered
school after long absence due to i'll
health.
Supt. o l.. Dunaway of Hot Springs
paid us visit recently. He is max
ing good at his new post and is de
lighted with his work.
Crawford Giddens has dropped out
of school for the remainder of the
term. We are sorry to lose him; he
is a good pupil.
If you want to see some especially
interesting work, drop in and watch
the tenth grade arithmetic class or
the ninth history The work in both
is intensely interesting
The pupils in room two had spell
ing contest the first of the week in
which they spelled every word passed
over the past month in their spelling
book and all the harder words in
their reader, 100 words in all. -Four
pupils, Agnes Garrett, Jewel Banks,
Thelma Echols and Charles Adams,
spelled every word correctly-a most
excellent showing
Miss Pauline Newborn has been
substituting this week for Miss Agnes
Maddox, who is confined to her room
with a painful illness. Miss Maddox
will probably lose the entire week.
Blanche Duncan is still out of
school on account of i'll health. She
will have to go to Little Rock again
for treatment.
For the second time in three years
we are called upon to record the
death of a pupil. Homer Tedder of
room one passed away yesterday at
p, M, after an illness of some l6 days.
He suffered much, but the end came
peacefully. The body is being laid
away today at Holland. Teachers
and pupils join in expressing SYM
pathy to the bereaved ones. A broth
er and a sister, Noel and Bessie, are
also very sick of the same trouble.
On behalf Of the LOO school chill
dren of Conway, we wish to express
our appreciation OF the sacrifice our
public spirited citizens are making to
continue our school 1t is no occa-
sion of remark when a man puts up
for the education Of his own children,
for that is no more than buying
shoes and medicine. But when men
who cannot profit directly by their
liberality go down into their pockets
to help educate other mems children,
we feel that a word of commentator
is not out of order. Let us assure
you that in so far as we can we will
give you the worth of your money in
a we'll behaved, intelligent, law-abid-
ing citizenship For the Conway
schools are trying, first of all and
hardest of all, to make good citizens.
Your example of helptulness and
community spirit makes our task
easier. Every big-hearted, open
handed, public spirited man or wom-
an in community is a big asset.

THE GRAND.
1.-THE Price of Fame" the first of
series of II three-part Pathe
dramas, will be shown tonight at the
Grand. A young singer, aglow with
the fervor Of inspiration, eager for
the social intercourse his art may
open the way to, marries a woman
whose conception of ideal happiness
is simple domesticity. Opportunity
comes-no need to knock, he has been
waiting for her. With his wife and
child clinging, as it were, to his coat
tails, he follows the Clean, and they
are cast off in the swiftness of his
flight. Fame is within his grasp,
For one mad moment he is identified
with Her-then something snaps.
With the first blatant, brass notes
from his silver throat he drops auto
matically back to Earth, his eyes still
blinded with the light of other
spheres. His wife has gone; his
friends have disappeared. With a
heavy heart he turns back into the
highway of Life, to be swallowed for
ever in the flux of Obscure humanity
