 UNDER PRO. LAW
Zack Long Sues Sheriff for $165, as Result of Des-
 struction of Whiskey.

Sheriffs, constables and other peace officers throut Arkansas will find themselves in an awkard situation if Zack> Long, a negro, wins suit he filed yesterday in circuit court nere, against Sheriff R. H. Williams. Long, thru his attorneys, Nixon, Levine and Nixon, filed complaint setting forth that in 1917 he was "Wrongfully" dis possessed of two suit cases, valued at $10, and nine and-a-half salons Of whiskey, valued at $132, and that the property is withheld by tae sherriff and his deputies. He asks judgment for $162.
 Long was convicted under the bone dry" law of bringing Whlskey into the state, fined $100 and costs, and the contraband was destroyed by court order. Long appealed, and the case was pending when the supreme court rendered a decision, holding that un der the "bone dry" law it is not il- legal for a person to bring whiskey into the state for personal use.
 A. flood of suits will follow judg- ment for Long, as many lots of whis- key were destroyed before the supreme court held that whiskey can be brought in for personal use. In some cases the accused were acquitted and in one instance here where whiskey was destroyed, the charge against the accused had been dismissed. Suits in CIancery.
 Terry Pearce and others are defend- ants in two suits instituted in the chancery court yesterday. The Bank Clerks Investment company and R. F. Ezell. trustees, are plaintiffs in one in which judgment for $975 is sought, and foreclosure of a deed oi trust on the west half of the northwest quarter of section 26. township 6, range 10 west. R.

DEAR ED1ToR:


A good many of our neighbors
are under the impression that
wlealless and meatless days are
not for US country folks. Won't
you please make this plain to US
in your paper. l feel it is every
ones duty, country or city folks,
but hesitate taking the initiative
in enlighLening them.
A SUBSCRIBER
The wheatless meatless, pork
less and sugarless days should e
observed as much by the country
folks as the city folks, but it is
not obligatory only on the public
eating places. Every patriotic
citizen should observe these days
and help to save food for our
fighting soldiers, both here and
abroad. 1t it is not done willing
ly, it may have to be made COM
pulsory. 1t is not intended that
we should 60 hungry. but we
should save in every possible way
so that there will be plenty to
sustain our armies, for without
these requisites, our soldier boys
would lose strength and would
not be in good fighting condition.

About one year ago a Congress
man from Missouri named Bor-
land int, oduced a resolution pro-
yiding for an investigation of the
so-called packers trust. BorIard
charged that the packers were in
a combination which enabled
them to fix the price they would
nav the cattleman for his cattle
as well as the price they would
charge the consumer for the fin
ished product.
Borland's resolution was. refe,
red to the Judiciary committee
and q great deal of opposition de-
veloped. Congressman began re
ceiving letters from bankers and
other business men and from
some ecattlemen protesting against
any agitation which would
disturb business. Certain mem
bers OF Congress suddenly de-
veloped great desire to be eco
nomical.
These Investigations never
amount to anything, they as
sured those who would listen

resolu ion to a vote and it passed

The weakness of this scheme lay
in the fact that victory for the
packers in the House might stir
the Senate to action. Second,
the committee might report the
resolution without recommends

would be the most satisfactory to
tne packers weakened friends.
Personally, he was opposed to
both propositions and as SUBJ
stitute suggested a third plan.
Which was worthy of Machia-
velli.
Broaden the resolution to COW

u .ged. and recommended big
appropriation. This would so
weaken it that would probably
fail to pass, but if it did get thru
the inestigation would be so long

effect on the public mind.

FAILED
The testimony shows that the
p ,ckers adopted the last sugges-

The conspirators fell down
when it became necessary to con-
troll the Federal Trade Commits
sion. That body is composed Of
men who have been carefully Sc
lected by President Wilson for
just such work as the investiga-
ton of the packers. Instead of
employing the trusts attorney
they induced Heney to become
their chief adviser and he went
after the task in characteristic

He has not cniy laid bare the
efforts of the packers to control
Congress but he has demonstra-
I ted the existence of a combina-
ton which is robbing both the
producer and the consumer of

The stock yards and packing
plants should be placed under
federal control and an end put to
price manipulation.
