Habit is a powerful influence in
tho lives OF industrial people. That
which has been often done BE-
comes easy. 1t 10 easier to follow
a we'll beaten path than to hew a
road out of the wilderness. Many
things are done upon tho farm
without reason and important work
is left undone because the neces.
sitv did not present itself.
Progressive farming requires
thinking men, men who reason
from cause to effect men who arc
not bound by custom and hsndi.
capped by antiquated methods.
To make tho farm pay business
methods of management must be
employed. The time lie past when
careless management will suffice.
Agriculture is now a business
and those who follow it success.
fully must be business. The Ia
Dor and capital required to man.
age a farm must compete with
that Of other occupations. There
is no other occupation where skill
and intelligence is more in de.
msnd than farming. - Thibodaux

The Initiative and Referen-
dunn i'm Arkansas.
IN. o. Daily States.)

At the recent election in Arksn.
sss an amendment to the State
Constitution WAS adopted prOvid-
ing for the initiative and referen-
dunn in suoh radical form that
some of tho leaders of the Demo-
cracy there have sounded note OF
warning to tho effect that if other
States accept the Arkansas amend
ment as a model it will bring
about the disintegration of the
Democratic vote aud an overwhel-
ming defeat OF the party in 1912
There is q growing demand for
the initiative aud referendum
amoDg tho rank aud file Of both
political parties, aud so far as
most OF the Democratic leaders are
concerned thsy are in favor OF the
principle of direct legislation
which 1t establishes, but with such
limitations as may be necessary to
fit local conditions. This princi-
pie. as it 10 generally understood,
applies only to the statutory acts
of the Legislature - acts to be
passed and those that have been
adopted.
In the case OF the Arkansas
amendment, however, the priuci-
pie of tho initiative and referen-
dun has been extended to a dam
gerous length, inasmuch as the
right is reserved to municipalities,
towns and counties to propose
amendments to the State. Consti-
tuition, and it is against the grant
ing of such . right, against the
abuse Of the principle of direct le-
gislation, that many of the leading
Democratic lawyers of Arkansas
have protested 40 most unwise
and threatening to the fundamen-
tai law of the State.
They have called attention to
the fact that the amendment il 80
worded a. TO make possible CON-
binations between towns and coun-
tics, between the good and tho bad
elements of the electorate which
may easily result in the wisest Of
constitutional limitations being
wiped out, the overthrow of the
States fiscal system under which
it has prospered greatly, aud in
the final analysis it will be found
that the initiative aud referendum
has taken the place Of the Consti-
tuition. 1t 10 against a danger
that spells annlcby, tho destruc-
ton of orderly government and
party ruin which some of the
ablest Democrats in Arkansas are
now warning their brethren in
other States.
