CAN'T DECIDE ON DATE.

The date for the destruction of sixty gallons of whisky held in the custody of the sheriff has been postponed until April 10 by order of Mayor Reeder. This whisky was shipped from Little Rock by Herman Kahn and con- signed to A. M. Edgar of New ark.
 By mistake of the railroad it was sent here and the officers got on track of it. Mayor Reeder issued a warrant for it's seizure, but before the warrant was served the liquor had been re- turned to Newark.
 MT. Edgar refused to receive it and the sheriff seized it and brought it back here. On hear ing before the mayor it was or dered destroyed on the 18th, but the date was changed to April 10, when the time for appeal will expire. -Batesville Guard.

WHITE RIVER CLAIMS
 ONE CHILD VICTIM
From Family Overturned Within Ten Feet of Bank by Strik-
 ing Snag.

The river claimed another vic- tim Sunday forenoon, says the Batesville Guard. MT. B. T. Payne, living on Charley Ferrill's place just below the dam, took his wife and three children for a ride on the water in an ordinary john-boat. When within ten feet of the bank on their return, the prov of the boat struck a hidden snag and the stern sank and threw the occupants of the boat into the water. MT. Payne got out somehow, although he cannot swim, and Mrs. Payne caught an overhanging limb to which she held until rescued, but the chil- dren, aged 6 and 4 years and seventeen months, were taken out insensible. Efforts to revive the younger children were suc- cessful, but the older boy, who suffered from a severe affection of the throat, was dead. Henry Selby, the assistant lock-keeper, and fisherman named Johnson, rescued the party from the wa ter. The little boy was buried Monday at Alderbrook. Payne lived last year on T. J. Powell's place near McHue.

Pine Bluff Council Allows Iron Mountain Thirty Days More to Decide About That
 New Station.

Pine Bluff, March 31. The city council met in special session yesterday afternoon to confer with Superintendent w. T. Tyler of the Iron Mountain, who asked an extension of time in which to commence work on the new pas senger and freight station to be erected on the site of the present station.
 MT. Tyler's plea was based on the statement that the officials proposed to spend at least $150,- 900 on the structure and 1t would take additional time to draw plans and specifications and fur nish other facilities for putting such a sum in circulation.
 The council granted an eXten- sion of thirty days, although an extension had been previously granted without the railway off cials having accomplished any thing tangible in the time.

PROMINENT MAN
 COMMITS SUICIDE.
George Bell, Formerly County Judge of Sevier County, Sup posed to Have Drowned
 In Coasstott.

Nashville, March 31.-News comes to this place from Lockes- burg that Judge George Bell, who was county judge of Sevier county several years, has proba- bly, committed suicide by drown ing.
 He lived in Lockesburg, and on Monday afternoon went to his farm, about four miles dis tant on the Coastott river, to look after some rent contracts. He had a talk with some of his tenants and went away, and has not been seen or heard of since.
 He left his coat at the farm, and upon examination note was found stating that he intended to drown himself where he could not be found.
 The streams are all up, and while searching parties have been hunting for him or his re- mains, no clew as to his where abouts has been ascertained. The stage of the water makes search difficult, however, and it is pos sible that the mystery of his dis appearance will not be solved un- til the water recedes.
 He was a man of about 65 years, well known and highly es- teemed. Ills was a soldier in the Confederate army and served with distinction.

 To Prosecuting Attorney Old fields position there will be a number of aspirants, says Editor Riley, and he proceeds to name them: Sam Casey of Batesville, J. B. Judkins of Black Rock, George Hillhouse and Emmett Jeffery of Newport.
 The Independent comes by the knowledge tolerably straight that another young member of the local bar in Claude M. Erwin will be a candidate for this honor, to which nearly every ambitious lawyer has aspirations. He has shown himself a tireless student of the law and is men, tally endowed to achieve dis tinction in his profession. He is a Jackson county boy and has d host of friends who have confi- dence in his ability and integrity of character.

CONVICTED OF ROBBERY,

victe,l Of robbery in the second degree
in the district court Of Lake county.

day morning.
County Attorney B. F. Fowler, repre-

Johnson was given a reformatory
sentence with date Of expiration not
stated.
The crime for which Johnson was

the latter had refused to furnish him
some money. After a struggle, in
succeeded in drawing a knife and did

Finally Cusicl<, who at first remained
in the rig, stopped the horses and
came to the rescue Of Nelson, or it is

MINERS TAKE sTR0NG
STAND FOR INITIATIVE
John Mitchell Organization
Believes Time is At Hand
For Legislative Change.
Stands For System of Govern
ment That Will Make Peo-
ple Masters of Servants.

The United Mine Wokers of America
one of the strongest Unions in the
country, the president Of which is John
Mitchell, has endorsed in the strongest
possible manner the movement for the
initiative and referendum in public af-
fairs and the questioning Of candidates
to force them to pledge for the i'm
proved system. The United Mine
Workers Journal, in column editorial
entitled Change Needed" says:
1T is very easy. All that the trades
unionists and grangers have to do is
to join hands and select men who will
give publicly an unqualified Yes or
NO to their demands and elect them.
It is within their power to utterly
change the situation and restore to
themselves the power they have lost
by their Indifference and political bias.
with the questioning Of candidates
for the referendum the people will
become Of right the masters, not the
men whom they elect, and the creator
will be greater than the creature"
These are the statements Of the Of
fetal paper of John Mitchells Or
ganization, and indicate his attitude of
mind and that of his .coworkers. It Is
proclamation that party politics have
proved worse than useless, and that
the remedy Is the systematic question:
ing of candidates for the initiative and
referendum. This is no mere theory,
declares the United Mine Workers
Journal, for lin Montana the trades
unions and the farmers have wrested
the initiative and referendum from the
bosses. In Chicago similar state OF
affairs exists. This year the trades
unions and the farmers unions Of
Texas have Joined hands to secure the
referendum. And the action of the
Pennsylvania State Grange and the
Pennsylvania State Federation of
Labor, and the resolutions adopted by
District No. 2 of the United Mine
Workers Of Pennsylvania indicate that
an attempt will be made in Pennsyl-
vania to restore to the people Of that
state their lost power and overthrow
the political oligarchy which has prac-
tically subjugated the people,"
This question-of-ca program
was established in the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor nearly three years ago
and is referred to In the opening par
agraph Of the Mine Workers editorial.
The organized farmers Of Pennsylvania
and of the State Of Washington are also
applying the program; likewise the
Peoples Sovereignty League and vari-
Gus other referendum organizations.
The significance Of the editorial in
the United Mine Workers Journal is
that one of the greatest Of the A. F.
of L.. trade unions is convinced that
the only way to overcome the political
power of the monopolists is to establish
direct vote in. the people. and that to
accomplish the. change is easy provided
it is gone about in the right way.

MACHINE RULE ENDS
WITH PEOPLES VETO
Corruption and Specia: Privil-
edges Are Fast Being Re-
legated to Rear.
General Demand on Part of
People for Adoption Of
Direct Legislation.

Machine rule Is the rule of the few
through popular forms. The people vote
but do not rule. They elect men who
are the candidates of a party, and the
party, through it's committee or ma
chine, is the ruler. Back of the ma
chine are the few who contribute the
campaign funds. principally the mon
opolists and other special priviegists.
The object in contributing is to secure
legislation or exemption from legisla-.
ton.
The result Of machine rule, then, is
corruption and special privileges; and
it results, also, in the dominance Of
the saloon, unjust taxation, frenzied
finance, child labor and hundreds of
other evils.
Such are the results Of the rule Of
the few through popular forms.
The existence Of the supreme or SOW
ereign power in the ruling few is due
to the fact that the people in delegating
power to the city councils, legislatures
and congress did not reserve to them
selves a veto power nor a power to d.
rectly initiate measures. Such a. power
can be reserved and is reserved in many
places, as we shall presently show.
The reservation Of the Peoples Veto
is through the esta blishment Of sys-
tenn wherein all the more important
measures adopter by representatives
must go to vote Of the people before
they can become law. This Is the Com
pulsory Referendum It includes the
issuance of state bonds and changes
in the state constitution. The less inn
portant measures, except bills Of an
urgent nature, are subject to an option
in the people to demand a direct vote.
This is the Optional Referendum. And
it's mere existence does practically all
the work, Just as the mere presence of
a policeman keeps out most Of the
toughs.
This veto power is a. power to pre-
vent action. It is necessary, however,
to start legislation, for in the evolu-
ton Of industry the time comes when
legislation must be enacted to control
the developed monopolies or the mono
| polists would own the earth. There
fore, the constitution of each state and
of the nation provides that amend
ments may be proposed, and statute

tendency is for the voters to provide
that they may directly propose
changes.
This direct initiatice by the voters is
termed the Initiative, or Direct 1nitia-
tive, or Popular Initia tive.
Where the direct initiative and the
peoples vote are added to the represen-
| tative system, it is Guarded Represen-
tative Government. The peoples sover-
eighty is guarded.
| The system exists in Oregon, South
| Dakota and Switzerland, also In the
! cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles,
San Diego, Pasadena, Portland, Ia
coma, Seattle land a few other places.
| In the states and cities the people
have terminated machine rule. Ma
| chine rule is simply a stage in evolu-
ton a stage in representative
! government-and therefore all our
States and cities will pass through it
! and into the higher form of represent
| tative government, just as children
pass through the chicken pox.
