possession OF tremendous power In
Government. Is the Irst person to ack
nowledge that there Is constitution
lentirely different from that which nc
Is supposed to have sworn many times
to support.
| One hundred and twenty years ago,
as the constitution itself states, 1.-The
people of the United States. In order
to form a more perfect union. estab-
lish justice, insure domestic tran.
quillity, provide for the common de-
Tense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings 81 liberty
10 themselves and their post"rity. Or
dained and established the constitu-
ton for the United States of America.
The constitution provided that
All Legislative powers herein grant
ed shall be vested in Congress OF
the United Stataes. which shall con-
sist OF a Senate and House OF Repre-
|sentativcs.
The executive power shall be vested
In President of the United States OF
America.
The judicial power of the United
States shall be vested in one Supreme
Court and in such inferior courts as
the Congress may from time to time
Ordain and establish.
In that was provided a balance IN
government necessary for an orderly.
Just and safe conduct of the affairs OF
the people. 1t was the effort to pre-
vent the people from Icing the con
stitntion. That means government by
impulse. by emotion or by deliberate
panderina to the unregulated ana
changeable wills of portion u the
people. a government by demagogy.
When the people are the cOnstitu'
tilon the individuals successful IN
gaining office. to be masters OF the
people instead of servants. keep their
ears to the ground instead Of Their
eyes to the stars they play one class
against another or organize various
discOntents for action under the Suise
of the constitution of the United
States. IL in the Presidency. they ap-
peal to what they choose to flatter
as the people to sustain them in their
efforts to COW the legislative branch
of government or the judiciary; II in
the National legislature. they resort
to the same tactics in overriding the
duties or the judiciary; II on the
bench, they assume to abuse their
high privilege in undertaking to frame
a dictum. not becoming by their act
fundamental law in accord with tncir
conception of what the people need.
When the people are the constltu-
ton the rule of government is the rul"
of disorder. The country Is on the
verge of anarchy.
It was to avoid that very catas-
trophe that the constitution OF the
United States was ordained ana es-
tablished. The farther the country
has been misled from that ordinance
the nearer the people have approached
their ruin. 1t is about time for pubic
sanity to assert itself and make 1t
impossible for any politician. great or
small, to assert by word or deed that
the people are the constitution. Tne
people will thank God FOR that.-Man-
ufacturers' Record.

fantil It is paid out for street improve
ments. II the improving Is not done
this summer, $500 " the peoples
money will be thrown away.
The people are interested in the
division of the bond issue money
but they are more interested In hav
ing a start made toward improving
the streets.
The Daily Press will not attempt
TO discuss the merits Of the claims
OF the respective wards at this time.
IL there was a tacit understanding
between the members AS to the d.
vision, the members know 1t, and the
matter is one to be settled among
themselves and with their respective
conscienccs. Ii does seem that the
Third and Fourth wards are entitled
to the larger shares OF the money.
but 1t is for the members TO say just
what the shares shall be.
II the councilmen go to the next
meeting prepared to discuss this ques-
ton sensibly and with desire to do
what Is best for the city at large.
without too much regard tor the par
ticular wards they happen to repre-
sent, then the expected wrangle will
not last long. and the highways and
sewers committee will be advertising
for bids ON paving before many more
days go by.

THE COMMITTEE HAD A REASON.

The decision Uf the Democratic
national committee to receive no cam
paign contributions from cor
porations IL calculated to make
one think ut first glance that
the committee has Overstepped itself
and carried good thing too far.
There are legitimate corporations
with honest managers who, believing
that u Democratic victory would be
for the good Of their enterprises and
the country at large, would be glad
TO give something toward the cam
paign fund. There is no reason why
contributions from such corporations
should not be accepted, and as money
Is needed, 1t seems foolish to lose any
that could come from proper sources
The committee very probably
knew what 1t was doing, however. A
local Democratic leader offers a very
plausible reason for the action. He
says that 1t is necessary to bar con-
trlbutions from all corporations be-
cause the Democratic party cannot
attempt to say which do and which
do not come under the head OF the
legitimate with honest managers. If
the Democrats accept money from
any corporations whatsoever. argu
ments against the trust fund Of the
Republican party would be weakened

University Scholarships Free.

|
 The. Women's Cluts in the stat e will be interested to read again the plan for the University scholarships adopted by the Federation at it's meet ing in Little Rock.
 Three dollars from each of the nine- ty-seven federated clubs would pro- vide for two scholarships in the Uni versity of Arkansas, first scholarship. $40; second, enough for living er- penses.
 One scholarship is for boys and one for girls, to be awarded by competi- tive examinations. Questions used, to be sent out by the University Exam ming Board, and examinations this year held by principals of high schools or county examiners, as Judge Till man, president of the University may decide. A small fee is to be charged each applicant to repay examiner.
 The University Examining Board will grade all papers. The boy getting highest grade, gets boys scholarship; girl getting highest grade gets girls prize Then to still further stimu- late exertion. let the higher scholar snip go to eithsr the boy or girl ac- cordinp to which makes the higher average. No average below so.
 Let the scholarships be good for one year only, the freshman class of the Arkansas University. The right kind Of student will hayh found his feet by the end Of the freshman year. No one attending the University preparatory at Fayetteville is eligible. The object of the scholarship is to make our University better known and appreciated in the state and to give to boys and girls from small places and of limited means the ad- vantages of the University atmos- phere.
 Dues should be sent to the chair man of of education of the A. K. W. C., and when all clubs have paid, by her transmitted to the treasurer of the University, He will disburse the money in monthly payments.
 The University Classification Board will have power to decide for forfeit ures of scholarship, due to failure in attendance to duties or any cause whatsoever.
 Any one desiring information in re- gard to the examinations should in- quire of Judge Tillman, president of University of Arkansas.
 Teachers: Will you please call the attention of your pupils to these scholarships? In offering them the A. K. w. c. realized that the great est benefit to be derived would not necessarily ba gained by those who won the rewards, but by the many who by striving to win improve their work in the preparatory schools. This preparation may cause the unsuccess- ful ones to do collegiate work In our own or in some other university. Clubwomen: Will you please send your assessments as soon as possible? All depends upon this.
 Editors of County Papers: Will you kindly copy this at once, as the time for examinations is not far distanty

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warn. ing That No One Can
 Afford to Ignore.

Danger Signal No. comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. We'll kidneys excrete clear amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out thin, pale and foamy, or thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage.
 Danger Signal No. comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the coming of dropsy, diabetes and Bright s disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them per manently. Here's proof
 $. Pickett, b0okkeeper, of 40l West Broad street, Texarkana, Arkansas, says: "For several years l had at tacks of dull aching in the small of my back just over the kidneys. I knew from the action of the kidney secretions that my kidneys were dis ordered, but l was unable, although faithfully tried, to find any remedy or medicine which would check the attacks let alone cure them. An ad- vertisement about Doan'S Kidney Pills came to my notice. I reasoned if they performed half what they promised, they might at least bring relief and triea them. The treat ment undoubtedly acted directly on the kidneys and in a short time the weakness or irritation of these organs ceased, and as result the backache disappeared"

The directoire gown which has been creating such stir in Paris and London, has arrived in America. A woman tailor describes the gown thasly; 1t is simple. The gown is slt on each side from the knee down, and underneath the woman wears trousers like man. It is pretty and nothing could be more modest. l see the foreign dispatches tell about the women's stockings showing through the slits. That is possible. Of course, Ill such a case the woman leaves of the trousers. That is all a matter of taste. The gown fits to the body hke paper on the wall" Who will dares
