The sin of contentment bears a

Refuse to be happy until you
have something to be happy about.

The Public Wins

1t appears from a careful consideration
of the decision on the Adamson law
handed down by the United States Su-
preme court, that not only did the men
win, but they also lost. The public
gained big victory in the railroad con.
troversy according to the judgment of
legal experts.
The opinion is freely expressed by law
yers who have studied the prevailing
opinion that the government has the
power through Congress to prevent rail-
road strikes in the future. The opinion
of Justice White, they hold, makes it
plain that employees of interstatecarriers,
because of the public character of the
railroads, are affected by a public inter-
est which prohibits them from tying up
at will the nations commerce.
lift has so happened that the railroad
dispute has led to court judgment that
makes compulsory arbitration of railway
controversies imperative, then the coun-
try has gained triumph which far out
weighs the advantage gained by the men
Ordinarily in labor disputes the public
loses, no matter which side wins, and it
may be barely possible that on this occa-
sion the public. which is always the foot
ball between the contending parties, has
regained some OF its neglected rights.

GAR AND SON ABDIcATE
Pro-German Party Removed by Rus

Pro-German Party Removed by Rus
san Uprising Following Food Riots
Petrograd, RusHia.-!Ths~ Inn perorf -
Russia has abdicated. Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch, his younger
brother, was named as Regent,
after a revolution headed by the
Duma, was successful in three days
street fighting in Petrograd. GraGd
Duke Michael also abdicated after a
days reign.
The Russian Ministry, charged with
corruption and incompetence, has
been swept out of Office. One Min
lister, Alexander Protopopoff, head of
the Interior Department, has been
killed, and the other Ministers, as
well as the President of the Imperial
Council, are under arrest.
A new national Cabinet is announc.
ed, with Prince Lvoff as President of
the Council and Premier, and the
other offices held by men who are
close to the Russian people.
For several days Petrograd had
been the scene of one of the most
remarkable risings in history. Be
ginning with minor food riots and
labor strikes, the cry for food reached
the hearts of the soldiers and one
by one regiments rebelled, until fin.
ally those troops which had for a
time stood loyal to the Government
gathered up their arms and marched
into the ranks of the revolutionists.
Duma Opposes Gar.
The President of the Duma, Michael
V. Rodzianko, was the leading figure
among the Deputies, who unanimous
ly decided to oppose the imperial
order for a dissolution of the House
They continued their sessions, an6
M. Rodzianko informed the Emperor
then at the front, that the hour had
struck when the will of the people
must prevail
Even the Imperial Council realized
the gravity of the situation and add. |
ed its appeal to that of the Duma that
the Emperor should take steps to give |
the people a policy and Government |
in accordance with their desires and |
in order that there should be no inter |
ference with carrying the war to
victorious ending.
The Emperor fastened back from
the front only to find that the revolu
ton had been successful and that
new Government was in control AL
though considerable fighting took
place the casualties were not large.
Looked Like Stage Revolt.
The early period Of the uprising
bore the character rather of a mock
revolution staged for an immense au
dience. Cossacks charging down the
street did so in half hearted fashion
plainly without malice or intent tc
harm the crowds which they playfully
dispersed. The troops exchanged
good natured raillery with the work
ing men and women, and as they rode
were cheered by the populace.

These fees, however. are aid to the county and city, instead of being retained by the officers.
 Because no records are at hand t? ascertain how much the justices of the pca2e collect in fees in civil cases, ii is impossible to accurately est- mate the amount Of profit the mun- ipal court will pay, but it is certain that 1t will pay handsomely, and that the administration of j 'stice will cer- tainly not be impaired MT. Magee has considered well the public inter. est, has made the salaries modest, yet sufficient, realizing that it is not the purpose 10 create fat obs for few but to improve the system and at the same time give to the public service more of the money now collected by individuals.

 "Why have a number of justices of the peace courts, with justices anf: officers dependent upon fees, when one court, with .salaried judge and a salaried constable, can attend to all the business?
 "The justice of the peace system should be abolished in every one of the larger cities of the state and mu- nicipal courts substituted Under no circumstances would Little Rock re- turn to ,he old days of justice courts. :" Pine Bluff is entitled to a muni- cipal court, and The Graphic hopes that the Magee bill will be quickly passed, and promptly signed by the governor.

ticn may be, tae government, or what passes for such machinery, knows how to levy taxes. Taxation is tho worlds oldest sport, It is the universal golf game, with the people the balls and the govern ment the sticks.
 Just now thousands of people are torturing themselves in effort 70 devise a way to evade the income tax; and probably many of them are sue cessful. Others don't need to trouble themselves for ways to beat the tax assessor, because they lack sufficient assessment to make it feel onerous.
 Not so with the liquor or tobacc ) taxes. Nobody ever heard of the gentlemen distilling whiskey or ex- tolling cigars getting by without pa, 1 ing their tax. It would mean a heavy fine CT the penitentiary.
 But in everything else it is con- sidered perfectly legitimate to beat GEe government out of it's tax monGy
