scientific developments. They started in long ago with using the X-ray for the basis of their plots and their latest example of taking the public at its word and giving them stories deal ing with subjects that have occupied the attention of the masses is to be found in aPthe's newest serial thriller, 'The Phantom Foe" which evolves spine -tingling thrills and an ingrati- ating love romance from psychic phe- nomena as it is eXpounded by Maurice Materlinck and Sir Oliver Lodge in their lecture tours in this country. "The Phantom Foe" has one big ad- vantage over the lecturers. It does not entail lot of expounding of theo- ries in terms of the scientists. Nor is the spectator asked to take lot of things for granted. This drama treats this most interesting subject in way which is understandable and a way which realizes to the fullest degree the romantic possibilities of psychic phenomena.

CORPORATION COMMISSION SAVES
 PEOPLE s1 1000 IN FREIGHT CASE

in relation to railroads as the duties of the present commission are to ALL public utilities.
 With this $10,000 appropriation the Commission had the case reopen ed and attacked the Memphis rates as unjust and unreasonable. Testimony was taken by the Interstate Com merce Commission at Memphis fol five weeks and at Kansas City fol three weeks. Many thousand pages ot rate exhibits and data were presented to the higher commission.
 As a result of this strenuous actior bv the Arkansas Commission, the case was thrown out until the fall of 1919, when a final decision of the Federal Commission was rendered It was adverse to our own commits sion.
 BUT! FROM FEBRUARY, 1917 UNTIL THE FALL OF 1919 THERE WAS SAVED TO THE SHIPPERS OF ARKANSAS A SUM EQUAL TO S50O000 A YEAR OR. FOR THE ENTIRE TIME, APPROXI- MATELY $1,500,000!
 AND THIS SAVINGS WAS EFF FECTED WITH AN APPROPRIA- TION OF $10,000, [!
 Think what the cost of this savings would have been if the fight had been carried on by each city and town in the state as opponents of the Cor ,.ro,,1J such matters handled. Each city would have been forced to employ special counsel; special rate experts expended large sums for travelling eX- penses. Under such conditions it is safe to say that the cost of the fight would have been far in excess of the money saved Arkansas shippers. And it should be again said that the mem bers of the Commission directed that fight in the interests of the people of Arkansas are the members of the present Corporation Commission; that the duties of that Commission were the same to the railroads as the funct- ions of the present Commission are 10 ALL public utilities.
 Without central control, the inter- ests of the people cannot properly be guarded. Without central control and state regulation utilities cannot give the service to which the people are entitled.
 These facts should be borne in mind along with the old adage that there are two sides to every question.

Eighteen Months Fight Against Higher Rates Keeps Huge Sum in Peoples
 Pockets.

During the bitter criticism that mas been directed against the Arkansas Corporation Commission by its op- ponents. only one side of the argl ment has been presented - the op- ponents side. There has been shown only those things claimed in favor of the abolition of the Commission The Arkansas Utilities Association intends to present incontrovertibll facts and arguments in favor of re- tentiou of that body. The Assocla- 4ion does not deny that it is interest ed in the Commission. 1t Is vltally interested. Well regulated control of public utilities is the very life ot these utilities. We have shown III previous advertisements that the pub- lie utilities pay one-fifth of the taxes of the state. Surely properties of such magnitude should be governed by central body and should not be left to the scattered regulations ot scattered municipalities.
 Opponents of the Commission have claimed that the Commission has granted only increases and has made no effort to protect the interests of the public in such matter. How in- accurate and unjust is such an allega- tion the records prove. In one case alone, the Commission saved the peo- pie of Arkansas approximately S1,- se0,000.
 The case in question is the famous Memphis Rate Case, known through out the Southwest as Interstate Con- merce Commission Docket No, 1904. It needs no introduction, other than the number, to Arkansas shippers.
 Several years ago. the Interstate Commerce Commission, at the instiga- Eion of Memphis shippers, placed in effect railroad freight rates which, If allowed to remain, would have added materially to the shipping rates into the state and incidentally would have placed on the people of She state additional increases in the cost of living.
 At the beginning of the 1917 ses- sion of the Legislature. members of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, the body then regulating railroads, secured an appropriation of $10,000 with which to reopen the Memphis ease. The members of that commits sion are the members of the present Corporation Commission. The du- ties of that commission were the same

REUNION OF VETS
May IL and 13 Dates
Announced By Gen.
Thomas

DUBLIN, April 3.-Announce-
ment IS made by General James A.
Ihomas, commander of the Georgia
DIVISION, to the effect that in confer
ence with the city authorities of Dub
I'm, and other organizations, it was
decided TO hold the next state reun-
ION on May 1918. Nav was selected
because it was thought about the
balmlest season of the year, and the
date would give the most satisfaction.
EVERY veteran who attended the
reunion at Dawson voted it the best
OF all, and there were a unnber of
Dublin vets there who readily admit
ted this fact, but said in extending
Their invitation that the people of
Dublin and Laurens county could
promise even a better one. 1t is
therefore probable in the opinion of
many, that the attendance in Dublin
viii be great one and will bring
every veteran who can make the trip
together once more.
General Thomas saws he will issue
the order announcing the place and
dates at an early day, probably next
week. AT the same time he will make
known his staff appointments, names
o sponsors and maids of honor.
The commander requests that the
papers throughout thes tate make
mention of place and dates for hold
ing the erunion, in order that every
ola confederate can be informed.

DELAWARE NAV
YET GRANT VOTE
Reversal of Stand To Be
Attempted at Mon
days Session

DOVER, Del, April although
ratification of the suffrage amend
ment was defeated in the lower
house of the Delaware legislature this
week by a vote of 20 to 5, leaders of
both Democratic and Republican par
ties declare that a reversal of the
decision is not at all unlikely when
the legislature assemblies on Mon
day.
The next move may be in the SEN
ate, where a similar resolution to that
defeated by the house has been offer
ed and will on Monday be reported
out of committee At caucus held
on Wednesday, it is stated an agree
ment was entered into by the two
factions of the Republican party in
this state in which it was agreed that
suffrage woud have to be ratified for
national as well as local political rea-
sons, but the faction in the party that
has been holding up its passage NAM
ed as its price of surrender the
honor of putting suffrage across"
That there is an element of truth in
this report is borne out by he an
nouncement this morning by the viii
mington Morning News, owned bv AL
srsd ]. Dupont that he fsvors the
ratification of suffrage for national
reasons.
