TWO EXECUTIONS.

1t took New York state eight minutes
to execute Hans Schmidt and it took the
state of New Hampshire, the same morn
ing, 10 minutes to execute Oscar j. Com
cry. The long drawn out process in the
latter instance was due to the less mod
ern method of suspending the victim
from moose after he has been snapped
through trap in the galIows, whereas
New York put the victim in a chair and
turned on the electric power. Less bru-
tai, less spectacular, savoring less of the
spirit of revenge and, withal, more expe-
ditious, the New York way commends
itself as the better process of so-calIed
legal taking of human life as long as we
are to continue on our statute books the
laws which permit the state to remove
human beings from the world. More
over, there is far less likelihood of boteh-
ing the work when the electric chair Is
used rather than the hangman's rope.
Looking at the two processes in cold

THE UNITED STATES BEGINS
SANELY TO PREPARE.

| The first steps toward sane campaign
OF preparedness in the United States arc
now under way following the sfiixing OF
the signature of President Wilson to the
first bill of that character. That bill
which now becomes o law, provides for
the increase of enrolment at the naval
academy at Annapolis, allows half a mil
lion dollars for increasing the facilities
for ship building at the Mare Island
navy yard north Of San Francisco and
appropriates one-ffth that sum for re-
pairs at the New York navy yard. The
admissions before the committees of
Congress of late have been to the effect
that the quota Of naval officers was con-
siderablv below the standard and the
needs of the service; and the increase in
the enrolment of the next entering class
viii in due season remove that handicap,
although for the time being the navy
will have to get along on short service,
Senators and congressman to the number
of 259 have been notified that they each
are entitled to appoint one more candi-
date for entrance to the navy academy.
Coming at just this time, the right of
should bring to the service
Of the nation a first class grade of appli-
eants who, through the process of in
struction, will be likely to become eff
,ient naval officers The increase in the |
quota of midshipmen satisfies, we be-
ieve, one of the fundamental demands |
dong the line of better national pre-.
)aredness, but it is by no means revolu- |
ionary in character, being nothing more |
han should have been done a long time
go when the number of serviceable men
ell below the standard demanded for the
leeds of the navy. The appropriations
made in the same bill to provide for
hanges at two navy yards are compare
lively slight but the results to be at
aimed by the expenditures will, no
oubt, fully Justify the outlay Taken
together the steps eomprehended in
his law are but mere feeling of the way
0 reasonable efficiency in the defenses
f the United States.

The automobile manufacturing indus
try is one of the youngest industries OF
the United States but it is nevertheless
one of the most lusty even thus early.
An annual output of approximately GOO,
600 machines at value of about $500,
100000 is evidence enough Of that fact.
Added to that are the figures OF the an
nual repair of old machines; and the to-
tai goes approximately toward a round
billion of dollars. Quite an industry, we

Worn.out newspaper workers often
times relinquish the editorial chair foi
the less nerve-raeking work on the farm;
and now and then boys pass from the
farm to the editorial chair. One of the
latter is Hiram Moe Greene. who has
been called as editor of Woman's World
However, there were many steps in Edi-
tor Greene's progress before he received
the call to his new positions the transit
tion was far less abrupt than the reverse
movement from the editorial chair to the
plough. In the various positions Mr..
Greene gave evidence OF adaptabiity to
the work and promises to do equally well
in his new place.

HUGHES IDEA.

Mr. Hughes idea of the kind of union just now possible be- tween the sections of the disrup- ted Republican party is interest ing and Illuminating.
 It is not union upon a con- |struetive program; there is in all his labored address no hint of such thing. Beyond per funetory references to the tariff and a promise of rural credits act to farmers-a thing which has already been given them by the Democratic Administra
 ton; Mr. Hughes ought to read the papers-he has nothing to say of party tasks. He strives to unite his iarring and suspic ious fellow-partisans upon two things: criticism of President
 Wilson exercise of certain kinds of Executive discretion and admiration of the wonder ful things Mr. Hughes would
 have done in the realm of for eign policy had he been Presi- dent when the war broke out, with foresight exactly cores bonding to his present hindsight. and had his present exalted es- innate of his own abilities as diplomat and statesman been
 borne out by the event.

 We must also unqualifiedly en- dorse the recommendation Mr. Owen will make to the next leg islature, that the federal and state highway money, instead of being used for local work in the various counties, shall be devot- ed to building state roads high ways to pass clear across the state or at least through num- Der of counties, highways that shall be links in a real system of state roads.-Arkansas Ga zette.

desire to legislate for the inter- ests of the state. Succeeding leg islators may be just as capable Iand fair. But 1t will be no dis advantage to the citizens of Ar kansas to have an initiative and referendum law on the statute books that will enable the people to revoke laws or initiate new ones if desired.
 Legislators are more apt to be careful when they know the peo- pie can reverse their doings, and what is of greater importance lobbyists are not as liable to use their peculiar powers of persua- sion on members of the legisla- ture when they know there are watchful citizens intent upon the defeat of their nefarious schemes. With full power to defeat them II the people so will.
 It will be seen by this that the referendum will not only cure legislative rascality, but operates as a preventative. Would rail road corporation bribe a legisla- tive body to enact injurious mon- opoly laws if 1t knew the people would in all probability rescind such act within few weeks or monthsg It would not pay; for corporations would merely lose the money spent to secure legis- lative privileges.

MORE OATS FOR ARKANSAS.

This last year was bad one for oats and some farmers seem inst a trifle discouraged about the oat crop for this state. It is not wise to drop a crop be- cause of one failure but rather to learn from the failure. It IS the opinion of the county agents of the fifty-two counties that have agents, that oats must be considered a good crop for Ark ansas. In the first place the farmer can have a good market for the grain right in his own stable. He will have good mar ket for the straw in the same place. Straw is rated as having a value of about $2.30 simply as a fertilizer plowed under. When used as a bedding for stock to absorb the liquid eXcrement and as a means of saving the solid excrement 1t can easily have value of $4.o0 per ton. Then af- ter oats plant cowpeas and 1t IS easy to find good return from the field for the year. After peas the field may be seeded again to wheat or rye or oats for winter pasture and clover crop. Oats should be consider ed a profitable regular crop for most Arkansas farmers.

There will be enough on hand to enable the state 10 get the first federal al- lotment, but as these allotments will be doubled each year for five years some arrangement must be made to provide state fund that will increase in like proportion.

There being no chance whatever for a recovery from the injury the horse was killed and Mr. Combs promptly paid Mir. Hutton $60, the amount asked as damage. When the car appeared in sight the horse became frightened and Mr. Combs stopped until Mr. Hutton could get the. horse out of the road; Mr. Combs then started to pass by but just as he ap- preached opposite the horse the animal ran backward and fell in front of the ear. Fortunately for Mr. Combs the force of col lision killed his engine and the car stopped, otherwise it might have turned over and injured him seriously if not fatally. = Huntsville Democrat.
