The recent cold waves have recalled
to the minds of the older residents
the time when the ice on the Sus-
quehanna river was so thick that the
only means of getting the trains of
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad across at Perry
willie was to lay rails on the ice and
run trains over them. This actually
was done So years ago on Saturday.
The river was frozen so that it was
impossible to ferry the trains across
the river, the method then employed,
so on January Is track was laid on
the ice and from that time to the lat
ter part of February this line was
used. The cars were taken over one
by one, and, even though they were
of considerable weight, not a person
was injured nor was any damage done
to property. There were 1878 cars
taken across during the great freeze,
some carrying passengers and some
filled with freight, and many persons
took the trip simply for the sake of
the experience. During the present
week there has been horse racing
across the ice between the Cecil and
Hartford county shores, at about the
same place where the tracks for the
railroad were laid.

FuRTH COMING HOME
With a view to blocking the

With view to blocking the ap-
 poinument or confirmation of Dr R.
 c. Thompson to the office of Postmas-
 ter Furth here hundreds of telegrams
 and numerously signed petition were
 sent to Washington from Pine Bluff
 yesterday by individuals and firms
 The petition and telegrams protested against Thompson being named and no few of them urged the representa- tiyes in Congress to fight the propos- ition' to a finish. Senators Clark nor Davis are in Washington at this time. Senator Davis is in the state inaugurating his campaign in his canvass for re-electon and Senator Clark is said to be in hospital at
 Little Rock undergoing treatment.
 Dr. Thompson and several of his friends were also active yesterday sending telegrams to Washington to set aside any sentiment being created by the opposition al the national cap- ital, Postmaster F C. Furth who has been there for ten days strength ening his political fences, in hopes of being reappointed by Taft regardless of the endorsement accorded Dr. Thompson by the county and state committees, was expected to leave Ma chi n OtOn 1orf ;yj, and is due to arrive home Monday night
 V Senators Clark and Davis and Con- tgressman Joe T. Robinson have been appealed to by Pine Bluffians to pre- vent Thompson securing the Postof- flee. Old ex-Confederate soldiers, here, who oppose Thompson to man wired Senators from other states, ac- quaintances of theirs, yesterday, to do all within their power to defeat Thompson in his aspirations.
 ;. No information came from Washing. ton last night to the effect that Thompson's name had been sent to the Senate and Congress adjourned last night at II o'clock. President Taft has evidently been advised of the pro- test that is being made from this sec- ton against Thompson's appointment ana will most likely hold the matter up for some weeks If he names thompson the latter will take charge or the Pine Bluff postoff1ce and re- main postmaster until the next session

FOR INITIATIVE
 AND REFERENDUM Gov. Donaghey Comes Out Strongly in Favor of New 
 Amendment
URGES ITS PASSAGE
Declares That As Long As Legislature Does but. There's No NeceS-
 sit. of it.

Little Rock. June 25.-(SpeciaD- D- Governor George w. Donaghey this af- ternoon gave out the following inter- view:
 T am ill favor of safeguarding the welfare of the people of Arkansas by giving them the option and power of dEm Whenever they deem it to their interest to do so Our proposed Con stituional Amendment, No. 10, as or dered submitted to them by the last legislature, authorizes this provision to be written into our organic law Nor is there a more importan; plank in our Democratic platform than the one which endorses this amendment. The leaders of the Democratic Party are under obligations to the people to do all in their power to secure the adoption of this amendment at the September election.
 q stated in my message to the last legislature tha' ] regarded the Initia- tive and Referendum most just pro- tection for a Democratic constituency, and that the sovereign people should i have the right to demand any law ] they wanted through the Initiative. or to annul any act of the legislature they did not want by the Referendum; and that the servants of the people should never be backward in grant ing them the right to exercise this privilege l am still of this opinion and expect to do everything can to bring about such result
 As long as the legislature does it's duty, there will not be the necessity of invoking either the Initiative or the Referendum by the people. The leg islature will do better work when it knows the people have the power to overhaul that work if it is not done right. Hence, only few laws will ever be voted on. There could be no special elections unless ordered by the legislature in accord with the will and petition of the people.
 "In states where these measures are now working admirably a little pamphlet is sent out to the voters be- fore elections, containing copies of the laws to be submitted so that each voter may know and be posted upon what measures he is voting on This should and will be provided for in our state by legislative action.
 Think of the educational advantage the people of Arkansas would have with respect to their government un- der such conditions. They would take more interest in their states progress and welfare. they would post them- selves on all matters of public inter- est; they would be broader in all their views of public questions, because they could exercise their power to vote di- recily on all measures which would l be enacted for their interest. am not one of those who believe that the people when taken as whole are in- comptent to judge for themselves as , to what would be best for them; but if there existed any doubt concerning the lack of knowledge of the average voter to intelligently pass on matters of state importance, I can conceive of no more efficient plan of educating to invoke the power of the Initiative and Referendum
