WHY THE HIGH POTATO PRICES.

Why are potatoes so high? Is there any sound economic reason for the appalling prices that have been de-
 manded in the markets for the tu- bers? It is true that this along to- ward the end of the season and that the stocks are running low. But never before were potatoes so dear and the supply has often been lower than at present. The farmers are not getting an exhorbitant price for their stock. Somewhere along the line between the farm and the table excessive profits are certainly being taken. When po- tatoes are so high that hotel mana gers refuse to serve them on their tables the situation is certainly acute. For the average hotel keeper has but to shove the prices up on his whole menu to keep pace with any particu- lAfly expensive item. Perhaps the ho
 III restaurant patron shas reached the limit of endurance and the managers 14e1 that they cannot run the prices '&ffher. At all events, the disappear 1uce of potatoes from the bill of fare M significant of a most serious eco-

BASEBALL ON SUNDAY.

On Sunday in Pine Bluff we have no amusements. The churches have sservices in the morning and in the evening. In the afternoon there is nothing to do. The man who owns 4an auto can drive, but even with auto owners as numerous as they are, that leaves large percentage of us out. We have splendid athletic field here and large percentage of amateur and semi-pro ball players who can put up an interesting game. We have at least one local team that is of first-rate calibre. Why not throw the athletic field open on Sunday af- ternoon and have ball game each Sunday during the summer?
 It would not interfere with the re- ligious observance of the day. It would give the hundreds of workers who don't own cars and who have nothing to do on Sunday afternoon a place to which they can go for recre ation. It would keep hundreds of people from doing things that they ought not to do. With ball game at the athletic field Sunday afternoon there would be fewer craps and card games in darkened rooms; there would be less lettering on the streets.
 No one would be the worse for it; great many would be better off than they are now.

Parker Governor

Baton Rouge, La., May 17.-With the inauguration today of John M. Parker of New Orleans as governor, and Hewitt Bouanchau of New Roads as Lieut.. Governor and appointment of committees in both houses, leaders of both suffrage factions tonight predicted early action on the resolu- tions providing for ratification of the federal amendment and for enfran- chisement of women by state consti- tutional amendment.
 Governor Parker's inaugural ad- dress, the shortest on record in Louis jana, in typewriter form covering less than one sheet of paper, did not deal with policies or issues to be worked out during his administra- tion, urging greater public interest in political affairs, he declared i've have played too much politics and used too little common sense and are now paying the penalty"

TOreadOr Champ of Spain Killed

Madrid, May 17.-The noted Tor eador Gallito, whose real name was Joselito Gomez, was killed last night at Place de Tavalera as he was about to dispatch the fifth bull of the evening.
 Reports of the occurrence are somewhat confused, but most of them agree that Gallito lost his life when he jumped into the ring to save another toredor, who was in a dangerous situation. The bull turned furiously on the new conner, caught him in the stomach with his horns and tossed him.
 A bull fight was to have been held in Madrid today in connection with King Alfanso's birthday, but could not be held because of Gallito,s death. The latter, who was only 22 years old, had been in the. bull ring since he was II. ee :

EMPTY JAILs.

From all parts of the country we hear through our prohibition enthu- siasts that there is no further use for jails. Some are being turned into hotels. Others are being put to use for other commercial purposes.
 The thing that the prohibitionists intend to emphasize in this matter is that the absence of booze has made the .jails empty.
 It might occur to some, however, that the jails arc empty not because of prohibition but because of the fact that 2 large number of people who ought to be in jaail are not there. Prohibition might have the effect of cutting down the number of arrests in all cities. It probably has. But it has not as great an effect as the fail ure of officials from Palmer on down to jail those who ought to be in jail or the failure of the public to de- mand that they be jailed.
 We have many statutes providing jail offenses, and so many of us are guilty of violating them that few have the temerity to demand the jailing of anyone. Respect for law is almost a thing of the past and the nature of our enacted statutes is one of the causes. Having no respect for the law in general, a great many of us do not care when particular laws are violated-so long as the violation doesn't interfere with any violations that we ourselves are com hitting or contemplating.
 Empty jails may show that we're better people since the days of the open saloon. It's certainty that If everyone who should be there was in jail many of our large and small cities wouldn't be bragging about the census figures.
