Druggists Protest

Fort Smith, Ark, May 16.- Unwarranted encroachments are being made upon the drug in dustry by the enactment of pro hibition laws as they pertain to the use of alcohol and by the so- called war and luxury taxes, ac- cording. to reports made at the second days session of the Ar kansas Association of Pharmacy today by President W. G. Roach and Secretary E. T. Roach Okla homa Association of Pharmacy.
 Recommendations were made that such leg station should be enumerated by the druggists. The assoclation indorsed the proposed Stephens Compression. al bill for the standardization of orug prices. A resolution was adopted providing for an organi zation in each county in the state for the purpose of bringing pres sure to bear upon the next Ar kansas Legislature. The orga- nizations demand legislation against those not converssant with the therapeutic properties of drugs to prevent them hand ling such articles.
 Other resolutions were adopted to have these county organiza- tions demand legislation but will regulate the dealing in narcotics and to put the socalled medicine peddler out of business.
 Opposition to the socalled Ari zona amendment to the prohibi- tory laws was expressed on the grounds that this law provided a hole in the lid.

Red Cross News

Dr. Charles NJ Clark, Asso ciate Field Director. Red Cross. at Camp FurSton, has been ap- pointed to represent the South western Division, in company With representatives from the other twelve divisions, at New port News, Va, for the purpose ot greeting incoming ships bringing American soldiers back to the United States. These Di- vision representatives are rec commended by the Rec Cross but will act as agents of the War Camp Community Service
 One ot the city parks has been turned over to the Red Cross for the use of state representa- tiyes acting as reception commit. tees 10 welcome home men from the individual states. Through the center of the park has been erected a court of honor, in which the flag and coat-of arms of each state is raised in their apportioned place. As the re- turned soldiers pass through the court the utmost enthusiasm prevails as the men recognize their state flag and are greeted by their reception committee.
 Red Cross officials are author ized to assist returned men in at once communicating with their family and friends, providing them with financial assistance and interesting recreation. Practically every returned man besieges members of his state committee for the latest news from home, and the Red Cross mas placed at their disposal a bu- resu where newspapers from their home towns may be ob- tained.

To The Farmers of Arkansas

Friends, edo you realize tbat the peanut is a valuable money crop: Arkansas farmers in 1917 and 1918 realized on an av- craze $1S0 per bushel for pea nuts and the average production per acre was 303 bushels. The average yalue per acre in dollars of corn fol 1917 and 1918 was S41.33; for E Eeannts S55.O7. The peanut crop is productive from every standpoint of the farmer It can be proftably produced on a large acreage of Arkansas soils. A. ton of peanut bay is al most equal ih feeding value to a ton of clover hay. Peanut meal which Is the nut and hay all ground or chopped together forms an almost balanced ration for dairy COW.

When Congress Should Meet

Although it is to be presented with partisan flourish, the pro- posal that new Congress should meet in regular session earlier that the second Decem Der after it's election deserves approval. The House of Repre- sentatiyes is chosen for two years. It serves that period from the March f following it's election. always in November, when a hold over Congress still has months of life '
 Thus. unless specially called by the President, a new Con gresS does not assemble until thirteen months after it's elec- tion, it's predecessor, possibly repudiated at the polls and meet. ing one month after the election, having still four months of ser vice. In this situation we have had on many occasions scanda lous jobbery and downright de- feat of the popular will.
 The measure now presented provides for the first meeting of a new Congress on the 5th of March following it's election in November. To this there can be no reasonable objection in law or otherwise. While the Constitu- tion prescribes the first Monday in December for the regular yearly meeting of Congress, it contains the qualification that Congress may by law appoint a different day" Some of tEe earlier Congresses did this, but eventually the present practice was adopted, and it has been al most idolatrously adhered to in the face of wonderful changes in communication and transporta tiOn.
 PartviSm is rpSponSihla in the main for the fact that we have had the most inelastic system of representative government of all free nations. If partyism has preserved an anarchronism to the disadvantage of the people there need be few regrets if par tyism shall now dispose of it, no matter what the motive
