Hereafter Directors Shall
Serve on Board Not
More Than Two
Terms.
Before Adoption the Amend
ment Was Vigorously OP-
posed by Several
Members.

Two terms for directors Of the Board
of Trade
After a long and earnest debate, the
Washington Board OF Trade last evening
voted into its bylaws the new blood
amendment in a modified form. TIE
amendment. as offered by ID. J. Gala
han. provides that no member Of the
board OF directors should succeed him
self. John Joy Edison amended II so as
TO provide that no director shall hold
more than two terms. and shall be in
eligible for reelection after the second
term.
In this form the amendment was
adopted,
W. q. Henderson opposed the amend
ment with the argument that IL would
fetter the judgment OF the board, as y
would not allow it 10 Te-elect men who
might be the best in the organization
for the position.
b. H. Warner and Robert \. Harper
supported the provision, saying they
thought il would do good. and that
rotation in office was salutary in all
organizations
Opposition to Amendment.
The most vigorous speech against the
amendment then followed It was made
by W r Singleton. who argued that, in
the past, nav directors had been chosen
by the board when It was thought new
men were needed on the directorate. and
he thought It could be done in the fu-
ture without the adoption OF the amend
ment offered.
This is a cOWaTdIy amendment lie
declared with some heat. 1T is moth
ing more nor less than an attempt 10
Iegislate ten men out OF office. Why. II
you want them turned out, don't you
turn them out with your votes
+. / Siddons spoke IN favor of the
amendment He hrst addressed himself
TO what he called the regrettable fact
that anything like personalities had
been iudulged in during the discussion
OF such a matter He said the amend
meut had been offered in good faith with
The idea OF doing the Board OF Trade
good. and that II was entitled TO every
consideration II was not any man s
fault. he argued. that inertia afflicts
him when he has been in Office a long
time. He credited this rather to human
nature. But. this inertia being a LacJ
hand in hand with long periods in Of
fee, he advocated rotation in Of1ice.
Declares Amendment Vicious.
r. Ross Perry said the amendment
! was vicious in theory because IL fet-
tered the judgment OF the board and
1 because It shut of at an early stage
/ the work OF an able man on the direc-
/ torate. Nevertheless. he believed the
+ thing was practicable and benehcent in
/ its workings. and he favored il.
! Demands were then made for a vote
l on the amendment John JOY Edison,
I however. came forward with his amend
ment providing that a director shall be
/ allowed 10 hold two terms II the board
adopted

DID NOT COME THREATENED FREEZE OR FROST FAILED TO MATERlALiZE AND GENTLE SPRING APPEARS. Which Causes the Sentimental Re porter to Spring an EthereaI-Like
 EbulIition.

The perfumed breath of "Gent1e Anne cast it's fragrance over this land of winter sunbeams again Friday morning. carrying it's spring-laden sweetness and freshness into the home and hearts of suffering human ity wherever the winter siege had brought it's many aches and pains, it's la grippe and rheumatism.
 The wise old groundl4og may have are several thousand people in Pine Bluff today who discredit him. They hold now most tenaciously to the belief that the winter season is a thing of the past, and that hereafter we shall loll luxuriously in the lap of the mistress of springtide.
 The most pleasing feature of the agreeable modification in atmospheric conditions just now, however, is the fact that fruit has escaped unscathed by the winters breath. The fears en- gendered a day or two ago by the prognostications of the weather man seem to have been unnecessary, for the threatened frost and freeze failed to materialize, and the tender young buds of the thousands of fruit trees just beginning to tint the foliage with their yari-colored beauty, are as yet uninjured by the cold in any form This is a practical blessing which Pine Bluff people cannot overlook, and they are elated over the matter.
 While it is admitted that we may even yet be subjected to some dis agreeably cold weather, the likelihood of it grows less with every day. and the hopes of humanity undergo cor responding growth.
