Attempted Assassination.

A cowardly attempt was made by
some unknown party to assassinate
Prosecuting Attorney r. l.. Rogers as
he was driving from Van Buren, to
his home in the suburbs. The would
be murderer fired several shots at Mr.
Rogers at close range The horse he
was driving broke into a run at the
first shot and soon carried Mr.. Rogers
out of range. The news of the at
tempt to take Mr.. Rogers life caused
much Indignation among citizens Of
Van Buren,. Recently Mr.. Rogers has
been making a vigorous fight on a
gang of worthless negroes and has
succeeded in sending a number of
them to the farm, and it is thought
the party who attempted to take his
life is a friend OF the convicted ne
groes.

SAYS Veto is Void.

Attorney General Murphy holds
that the numerous acts vetoed by Coy.
Davis are valid. Speaking of the le-
gality of these acts, the attorney gen.
eral says: The presentation having
occurred in twenty legal days after
the adjournment of the legislature
that is, within twenty days in which
work might lawfully be performed
his alleged reason for vetoing is no
reason at all. in legal sense This
principle is recognized by the supreme
court OF our state, and is not the
subject of even plausible controversy.
The inconsistency of the action of the
governor in approving some of the
bills and yetoing others, all presented
at the same time, is manifest He
had no right to approve unless he
had the right to veto II ne vetoed a
part of them because he had honestly
regarded them as not presented in
time he should have vetoed all. II he
approved some because he favored
them and vetoed others because he
did not favor them he should, had it
been possible. have been candid
enough to say SO, and have stated his
objection to those he disapproved. II
he had the right TO approve any of
them he had the right to approve all.
He did have the right, and his reason
for disapproval or veto being legally
false, the bills falling under his dis
pleasure become laws to the same
extent and with the same effect as if
he had formally approved them. If
called on by the secretary of state |
shall advise him to have all the acts
thus returned to him printed as valid
laws, and shall also advise him TO
have the proposed constitutional
amendment, as the constitution re-
Quires. submitted for ratification or
rejection to the electors at the next
general election"

The vetoeing by Gov xsvis at the

for'h more discussion than any ac.
ever performed By . chief executive
In this state. In a proclamation Gov.

twenty days following adjournment OF

three, which he approved, as follows:
The st. Francis levee bond bill. the

days. II this view is correct. al, ths
bills were delivered within tho re.

action of the governor. If it stands,
