 Important Post

Washington, March 9.-Senator Caraway of Arkansas has been as- signed to the State Committees on Agriculture and Commerce--two of the most important committees in COngress-it was announced today by Senator Robinson, member of the Steering Committee.
 Senator Caraway was particular ly anxious to become a member of the Agricultural Committee, but his asSignmnet to the Committee on Commerce probably will be a sur prise. He now is in Arkansas, hay ing accompanied the body of Champ Clark as a member of the funeral party to Missouri.
 Senator Robinson also was as signed to two new committees Rules and Military Affairs. Besides these committees the senior senator is now 6 member of the Commit tees on Territories and Insular Al fairs, Claims, Printing and Expendi- lures in Executive Departments. In addition he is, 8 member of the Joint Committee on Printing.
 Senator Robinson voluntarily gave up the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce to make room for Senator Stanley of Kentucky, and was given Rules and Military Affairs instead. It is reported also that he will be on the an-iGportant Foreign Affairs Committee at the first Democratic vacancy.
 Tn view of the fact that most of the major committees are being re- duced in membership, Senator Cara way is considered as extremely lucky to have landed both Agricul- tural and Commerce.

Every one is very en- thusiastic and with the assistance of our teacher, Prof. Southall, and our demonstration agents, there is no reason in the world why we should not sail along without any trouble and accomplish much good.

SEEKS TO PROTECT HONOR OF
 STATE.

My entire motive was to protect the honor of the state and the hon or of it's legislature-that is of all who are innocent and to expose the guilty" said Circuit Judge John W. Wade at his home last night, dis cussing his charge to the Grand Jury yesterday mornings charge that created the widest scene enacted in this session of the legislature and which started the solons on a de- termined effort to remove the judge from office
 Because of the fact that his charge was not taken down by the court stenographer, the Gazette ask ed Judge Wade to repeat as nearly as possible the exact words that he used.
 Judge Wade's Charge.
 His reply was as follows:
 My instructions to the Grand Jury on this subject were brief. To the best of my ability, this is my exact language:
 You must investigate reports of the possession and use of whiskey and of acts of immortality by legis- lators and find any corruption, if any, Tn connection herewith. l am told by a peace officer that there IS more immortality by members of this legislature than there has been by legislators in many years. A lady came to my chambers few days ago and told me she was an applicant for a position in the Sen ate; that she was called to a hotel by a senator about her application, where she was invited to his room 1; that she was insulted and refused to be compromised to secure a po- sltion. A thing of this kind is to De ceplored and condemned.
 Reports come to me of trips of parties of senators into the country where lobbyists Entertain them with whiskey Departments of govern ments nave been abolished and fights have been made against this aboli- tlon. Politicians have had their political life at stake. Any offense committed must have been in this county. The Grand Jury of no other county can investigate the matter. fou owe it to the state of Arkan- sas to ascertain the extent of these evils and what they have to do, if anything, with politics or corruption m legislation. Not all of our legis- iators are bad. They are largely an index as to what the balance of us are.
