day asking the suffrages of the peo ple for their personal aggrandize- ment and elevation. Does their vas cillating course n the past give promise of firmness and fidelity in the future9 Of course not. They are unreliable and unworthy of con idence. The following from the Morrilton Headlight illustrates a case in point:
 "The man who biennially changes his political coat because the last par ty he trained with would or could give him no office, does not receive, neither is he entitled to, the respect and confidence of any one, for all know he IS friend to day and a foe to morrow. When the union labor party took up Dr. Norwood he was believed to be in accord with that party. His changes, however, have been so rapid and complete that he is now readily recognized as full fledged republican. The republicans themselves have no confidence in him, for they know his failure to get office In that party will land him in due time on more promising shores. May the day soon come when our people will frown down political tramps.

| addition to the question of a

IN addition to the question of a new constitution, there Is another matter of surpassing importance to be voted upon at the September elec- tion. We refer to the license ques- tion. It may be presumed that in a county like this, where tue beneficial effects of the "no license" system has been for years tested and demon strated, that there is no real danger of departure from the usual GUS tom of rolling up decisive majori ty against license. But it is well to remember that many cause has been lost by er-confidence and apathy. Strong, energetic and we'll directed effort will bring us victory agaln, 2 consumation so devoutly to be wished that no relaxation of pur- pose or endeavor should be allowed. Let not your zeal for this candidate or that cause you to neglect your du- ty to your home and your fireside. Talk it among your neighbors, agi- tate it, and on the 3d day of Septem- Der go to the polls and see that your ballot has printed or written upon it surely and unmistakably against llcense.o

SOME of the union labor people are great sticklers for free ballot and fair count, but draw the line at a full and fair discussion of the issues of the day. Here is the way the democratic candidate was treated in Little Rock according to the Gazette of the 7th: "The pubic meeting last night was characterized by the same exhibitions of rowdyism that prevailed when democrats rose to re- ply to Candidate Norwood in front of the court house several weeks ago. Mir. Norwood was heard with little interruption but crowd of rowdles, mostly negroes, and evidently assem- bled for the purpose, did everything in their power, by making hideous noises and vulgar interruptions to prevent Col. Eagle from being heard. Seldom has so disgraceful scene been witnessed in Little Rock; but being the second essay in that line in one season it is evidently the pro- gramme deemed necessary by the enemies of Democracy.

In his stead seven other speakers have been ap pointed to come down to Arkansas and tell the people how to vote. The arrangement is in the interest of the September election.

Ir is astonishing how loosely so

IT is astonishing how loosely some peoples party clothes fit them. You will see these with unrestrained en' thusiasm participate in their party's conventions and primaries, and final ly double up like jack knife when the ticket is out because this man has been put on or that one left off. Others, still, will steal out of their own party and take part in the cleo ton of the opposition, just to enjoy the glorious privilege of the elective franchise, you know. All this is wrong, very wrong, and cannot be too severely censured or condemned. Whatever you are, be that with all your might. Stand up for your con yictlons and battle in your own ranks. But be honest and true. Should you participate in a primary you are morally bound to support the result of that election, Party supremacy and every dictate of reas- on and justice demands it. You had as we'll dissent from the decree of your church, your lodge or your so eiety; your membership and partici. patton commits you to the result, and there is Bo way of getting around it.
