 He will have general supervision over all organization work in the state and will maintain an office on the first floor of the old section of the Pulaski county courthouse. Major Brown will devote all his time to this work and will be at his office ex- cept when called to other parts of the state by his duties.
 Major Brown said that prospects seem very good for the success of the organization in Arkansas. He especially was pleased over the fact that Pulaski county is over it's quota. The county's quota was S,400 bales and already S,70O bales have been pledged to be sold under the cooperative mar keting plan. These pledges are bound by ironclad contracts, the validity of which has been upheld by the courts.

 "I regret very much that we have no definite data to give you on this subject. All that I know is that the boil weevil is much worse in Arkan- sas than in normal years. I am in clined to believe that the weevil dam age in the Southern portion of the state is not very much worse than in normal years. I believe that much of the increase in loss on account of the boil weevil comes from portions of the state which have hitherto not suffered
 heavy losses because of the weevil." i"

DISCIPLINE SIMS

DISPATCHES today indicate that Rear
~ Admiral Sims fails completely to soc
the blunder he made in dcnounciug the
American pro.Irish in hi, recent speech.
s'I sec nothing un American in il. h"
said. in commenting upon Secretary Drnby =
query scrt following Senator Mccormick :
protest.
The remark shows that the Admiral has
no sense of his official responsibility. 1t
u not a question of whether he was un
American. It. was wholly matter Of taste,
tact and etiquette.
This is not the first time that this
Canadian born naval officer has allowed his
tongue too free rein, nor yet the first time
that he has been accused of being more
British than the British on the Irish Ques
ton.
Secretary Dcnhy's "anazcment' was
fully Justified because. even granting the
Admirals right to hold the views he does,
he evidently forgot in expressing them the
weight and significance that would attach to
them by reason of his official position. He
should be promptly and vigorously r"pri-
manded In way that would preclude the
likelihood of his repeating his ofrcnse.

BRIDGE IN SECOND STAGE

HNHE submission to the Bridge Commission
i today of an authoritative report on the
character of the structure aud the advantages
Of a site tentatively determined bv experts
marks the completion of the initial stage in
the progress of an inspiring public under
taking.
The recommendations are. of course. sub
ject to change. but with the outlining of q
definite plan the public will be materially
aided in its consideration of the enterprise.
TUntil now discussion of the bridge site
question has been somewhat confused. While
partisans have spoken on behalf Of Arch and
Spring Garden streets and Washington
Square respectively for the location of the
Pennsylvania end crvstallization Of the
question has waited upon the formal word
a accredited experts.
With the report in hand tho matter will
bsgin to assume a professional aspect The
public hearings that are planned will pro-
mote full expression of opinion. In ad
vancing so important an enterprise this
procedure is healthy. provided. of course,
that it does not degenerate into mere OBJ
structionism.
It is well to bear in mind that the com
mission has performed its preliminary task
with commendable celebrity This example
Of progress is worth initiating by all citizens
who desire that tho long needed physical
link between two great States be established
with a minimum of delay.

A MEXICAN POLICY AT LAST

StTRAIGHTFORWARD and forceful in
- tho now familiar Hughes manner is tho
statement Of tho Secretary Of State regarding
MoNican relations.
The negotiations started by George 7,
Sumnorlin. American Charge d d'Affairos in
tho McXiran capital, have not been made
public in full detail, but enough is known
Of their character to establish the exceed
ingly welcome fact that the Administration
has formulated a definite and intelligent
Mexican policy.
While void of belligercncy, this program
Is firm in its adhererrc to a principle with
out which no enduring structure Of amity
between tho two republics can bc reared
The question rofcrs directly to the meaning
Of the retroactive clauses of the Carranza
constitution Of 1917. which appear to
ieOpardizo American property rights In
Mexico secured before that date.
Mr.. Hughes is anxious to know precisely
how the Obregon Government proposes to
interpret that legislation. The query does
not in the least reflect upon the authority OF
the Mexican Government to enact what laws
it pleascs concerning future property acnui
sitions and titles In the neighbor republic,
or to impose what restrictions it sees ft
II the point in dispute Is satisfactorily
cleared mp, tho Hughes plan embraces the
negotiation Of treaty beneficial to both
nations. and this will, of course, nutomati

complicated, it is lief to note the sim

BROADENING COAL PROBLEM

rINlIE frankness of Secretary Fall is hardly
J. calculated to soothc the feelings of
representative figures in the coal industry
who have been attending au important con e
ference in Washington under the auspices
of the Department of the Interior.
Government interference receives, OF
course, its conventional share Of blame.
The coal men, echoing the pleas of one.
time rcbclious group of American Common
wpalths. ask to be lot alone. The Freing
huyscn bill, providing for tho publication of
coal industry statistics through the Depart
mcnt Of Commerce, is regarded as particu-
larly obnoSious.
1t is as easy to understand the nature of
these sentiments ms it is difficult to sweep
away facts and tendencies by angry COM
mcntary.
"Sooner or later" declared Mr.. Fall,
you must find yourselves in cooperation
or competition with the Government"
The warning grows in significance pro-
nortionatcly ms the Alaskan railway ncars
completion.
The mileage now In Government operation
is about 100 ont Of a projected total of Al.
Tho resources of the Ncnana coal fields
alone. tapped by the line from Fairbanks,
are estimated at $50, 900. 900 900 tons.
While Il Is true that, owing to transpor-
tAtlOn uraWDhCkH, tno Nlelu mas De'tl COIL
paratively small. the time Is rapidly ap
preaching when the mines of tho Matanuska
and Nonana districts must seriously he
rCCkonCd with in any survey Of coal condi
tiOns Tho Government will soon be in n
position either to operate tho mines on its
own account or to lease them on such terms
rs will materially affect coal production and
prices elsewhere.
Tho prospect Is not fantastic. and It may
be conceded that Secretary Falls warning
was not unconnected with Wow Of Alaskan
possibilities While It is inconceivable that
fuel for the Atlantic scaboard will ever he
carried from the far northwestern territory,
transport improvements should render the
task Of shipment To the Pacific. Western and
some OF the Southern States comparatively
easy. Such changes could not be accom-
rlshcd without materially altering the entire
coal industry. which. like any other, has no
enduring monopoly Of inhcxihility.
The contest in which the coal men find
themselves involved will eventually be
shifted to Congress, when the Frelinghuyson
bill is debated But that measure is only ono
aspect Of vast and complicated problem
Co operation Is the only sensible procedure
in working out situation In which both
sides hold powerful assets.
The peculiarly interesting feature NJ tho
case is that tho Governments bargaining
material Is Increasing At n rate which sooms
to have been rather irsufiricntly appreciated
