THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
Two to be Presented to the People at the
 Next General Election.

Two proposed constitutional amendments will be voted upon at the next general election.
 One will be the question of hav- ing the initiative and referendum Tn Arkansas. and the other the ques- ton of exempting from taxation for the next ten years all money that is invested in machinery for the manufacture of cotton or cot ton fiber, the money to he exempt ed for a. period of seven years. The latter proprosed amendment is provided for in a resolution by Warnock of Columbia. which was adopted by the recent legislature. The first proprosed amendment is. provided for in a resolution by Sen ator Arnold, also adopted. Each legislature is allowed to adopt three joint resolutions providing for constitutional amendments. but only two were adopted at the re- cent session.
 Under the initiative and referen- dunn proposed amendment eight per cent of the legal voters of the State could propose any legislation by petition. the latter to set fourth in full the measure proposed. The initiative shall be filed with the Secretary of State not less than four months before the cleo tion at which they are to be sub mitted.
 The second power, the referen- dunn, may be ordered (except as to laws necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health and safety) by petition signed by five per cent of the legal voters or by the legislative assembly as oth- CTS are enacted. The resolution also provides further that the re- l ferendum petition shall be filed with the Secretary of State within 90 days after the finel adjourn
  ment of the legislature, that all elections shall be held at the gen. eral election, except when a special election is ordered, and al so that the power of the veto of the governor shall not extend to the measures adopted by the peo- ple
 The purpose of the first proposed amendment is to encourage cotton and cotton fiber manufacture in Arkansas, and the purpose of the second is to give the people the opportunity to propose and reject such legislation as they see fit. As an example. railroad employees under the initiative and referen- dunn would be able to reject any Legislation that they might deem injurious to their interests and of unusual benefit to the railroad interests. the per cent of legal voters required to bring about a referendum or initiative a question being small enough to allow almost any class of laborers or citizens to call for a referendum or to initia- tive question of legislation.

SCHOOL LAW NOW EFFECTIVE.
Bash Bill Requiring Attendance of all School
 Childred for Half the Regular Term.

About 80 counties, including Union. are subject to the provis ions of the Bush compulsory SC hoo law. now in effect, but it will hay little application for some months as the schools in all the cities ano towns are closed for the summer vacation. In the country, however many of the schools are taught in the summer, and in such districts the provisions of the law will i'm mediately apply. The law requires that all children between the ages of 8 and Is years. who have not completed the regulation course of seven grades in the public schools. attend some school in their district for at least half the school year. or receive equivalent tutoring at home. The only exceptions are in cases of extreme destitution, the parents or guardian not being able to provide proper clothing, etc, or where the child is mentally or physically unable to attend the school or where the aid of the child is absolutely essential to the support of the family. Children living over two and one-half miles from the nearest schoolhouse are also excused. In all such cases a certificate excusng the parents from liability under the law must be secured.
 Children between the ages of eight and sixteen years must not be employed in factories or mines or engaged by persons in any way during the school period, unless they have the certificate above mentioned. The person so em. ploying child will be subject to a fine of from $lO to $50. and any. parent or guardian who violates the provisions of the law requiring the attendance of children at school will be deemed guilty of misde- meanor and be subject to fine of from $1O to $25.
 One or more attendance officers mus. be appointed by the board in districts that will justify such ap- appointment. and it shall be the duty of this officer to enforce the law. serve papers in case of viola ticn, etc.. the same as any other officer of the law In districts having no attendance officer to re- port violations of the law. this duty will devolve upon the clerk of the school board.
 All fines to be recovered from the operation of the law go into the. school fund of the district to help maintain the cost of employ ing attendance officers and main taining the truancy schools.
 A synopsis of the school attend ance law must be published in the district at least 10 days before each session of the school opens.

AN AUDACIOUS PLAN.

How Captain Haraden BIuffed the
Britisher Into Surrender.
A fight is a fight for a that, and
Just as an example Of early American
nerve" a story unearthed by Ralph
D. Paine in the old sea logs at ESSEX
institute, in Salem, is of much interest.
1t is told by Mr.. Paine as follows in
Outing Magazine:
The kings packet was a foe to test
Captain Haraden's mettle, and he
found he had a tough antagonist. They
fought four full hours, "or four
glasses as the log records it, after
which Captain Haraden found that he
must haul out of the action and repair
damages to rigging and hull. He dis
covered also that he had used all the
powder on board except one charge.
1t would have been q creditable con-
clusion of the matter if he had called
the action a drawn battle and gone on
his way.
1t was in his mind, however, to try
an immensely audacious plan which
could succeed only by means of the
most cold blooded courage on his part.
Ramming home his last charge of pow
der and double Shooting the gun, he
ranged alongside his plucky enemy,
who was terribly cut up, but still IN
conquered, and hailed her:
II will give you five minutes to haul
down your colors If they are not
down at the end of that time. l will
fire into and sink you, so help me
Godr"
| 1t was a test of mind. not of metal.
| The British commander was a brave
man who had fought his ship like a
hero. But the sight of this Internally

of being exposed to another broadside

stained, half naked privateersmer
grouped at their guns with matches
lighted. was too much for him. Cap

could be heard aboard the packet:

YOUR TRUE COMMUTER.
He Must Be by Nature Man Who
Takes to Routine.

tie MUST he by nature d wan VINO
Takes to Routine.
Your true commuter must be by ma
ture man who takes to routine.
There are some who have committed
for a quarter century or more and yet
have not acquired the trick and never
will. They are the ones who write let
ters to the newspapers, airing their
grievances against the heartless rail
road corporations. They are not born
commuters. They have had commuta-
ton thrust upon them. But many real
ly enjoy the life of the cOmmuter.
They like the clocklike regularity.
They like the pleasant social aspect Of
the early morning trip to town, the
neighborly interest in one anothers af-
fairs, the ample time for reading the
newspapers, which numerous city resi-
dents miss by not being obliged to get
an early start. They look forward to
the pleasant relaxation of the whist
game on the way home, with head on
one side to keep the smoke out Of their
eyes. Some Of them even say that
they enjoy being awakened early in
the morning.
In time all who work in New York
will come to it. Meanwhile, for the
man with a family it appears to be in
many ways a happy solution of q diff
cult problem. Undoubtedly it is more
wholesome existence physically, but
mentally and spiritually it has the de-
fects Of its virtues when pursued all
the year round. The commuter devotes
the best part of the day to one narrow
corner of the city. The rest OF his
| time not consumed on the train is in
still more narrowing atmosphere Of the
suburbs. He neither gets all the way
into the life Of the city nor clean out
into the country. SO his view of things
has neither the perspective of robust
| rurality nor the sophistication of man
| In the city and of it. His return to
| nature is only halfway. His urbanity
is suburbanity. Much Of our literature,
| art and especially criticisms show the
| faint of the commuters point Of view.
