the power for the best interest of
the state. Some have argued that
the amendment is bad because it
makes the constitution thing to be
changed at will by the people.
Again / would ask whose constitu-
ton is 1t if not the peoples?
read recently speech of former
president Roosevelt wherein, in
giving advice to the new states of
New Mexico and Arizona, he said
that in preparing their constitutions
they should leave them easily amend
able by the people. He said that a
constitution that the people wanted
to change and could not change was
the greatest curse the people could
be called upon to bear. That this
is a truthful statement one but wants
to investigate the constitution of
Arkansas to prove. | believe l
state the opinions of most men when
| say that Arkansas progress has
been hampered and hindered by a
constitution that the state has out
grown twenty years ago. Arkan-
sas has the only constitution of any
state in the union that prohibits the
state, any county or municipality
from borrowing money for public
improvements. Arkansas needs
money for drainage, public roads,
public schools, bridges and count
less other public necessities. As
long as the present constitution
stands these things are not to be
had but with the constitution chang
ed so as to permit the people to say
whether they wish them or not l
look fora more rapid advancement
in the prosperity of the state than
the state has ever seen before. 1
know Arkansas will prosper some
time for this state has more natuia |
resources than any state in the union,
but what l want is to see Arkansas
come to the fore front in our day
and generation.
An other argument offered by those
who oppose the adoption of the
amendment is that it will cause con-
fusion in the laws as they now exist.
That it will do this l have no doubt
but in all history there never was
great change made by any people
that did not cause some confusion
at least for a while. The winning
of our independence, the adoption
of the right to trial by jury, the
adoption of the great writ of Habeas
Corpus and every other thing BEN
efcial to men has not only caused
"confusion" but cost lives of men
as well.
The greatest argument used by
enemies of the measure is that the
Pocahontas star herald. (Pocahontas, Randolph County, Ark.) 1907-current, 1910-09-09

amendment is so worded that any
locality can set aside the will Of the
whole state and cause each locality
to be law unto itself.
Now to those who advance this
argument / will say that they ad-
vance the only argument there is to
be made against the proposed amend
ment. This argument has taken
away from the measure many of
those who believe in the principle of
tip measure. Now on this point |
have only this to say; this feature
will, sooner or later, have to be
passed on by the Supreme Court.
u Is not the function of courts to
construe the sense out of measure
but to construe it according to the
legislative intent of the bill. Clear
ly the intent is shown. The meas.
ure as / understand it is to provide
that on bills affecting the whole
state, the people of the whole state
vote on them; on measures affecting
one county, the people of that coun-
ty vote on them; on measures affect.
ing one municipality, only the
people Of that municipality vote on
them. This measure is published
in full in this paper and l ask every
reader of this article to read the
amendment also and see if they do
not concur in my opinion.
Those who are going to vote
against this amendment because
they are opposed to the principle Of
it, l have no argument to make to
them, they are past arguing with,
but to those who are going to vote
against it because they believe 1t to
be defective | will ask that they re-
member one thing and that is this
if it is wrong the people can change
it. This is the first time since Ar
kansas has been a state that the
people have had chance to adopt
such a change in the law as this; if
thus the first legislature in Is years
to give this chance remember that
it may be rs years more before they
have such chance again. Had we
better not adopt the amendment now
when we have the chance? We can
change it to suit ourselves after once
adopting the principle into the con.
stitution.
Remember also that although
every politica! party and every
labor union in Arkansas has adopt
ed the measure that the measure
stands in danger of defeat unless
every friend puts his shoulder to
the wheel. Remember also that
every person participating in the
election and not voting either way
on the amendment is counted as

Shlpplng Advantages Of the South

When the Panama canal is con- pleted. and the west coast of South America and of Central America is opened to us, Mobile and Pensacola will be nearer to Colon than any other port. except, of course, Key West. Mo bile will be 1871 miles and Pensacola 1344 miles from Colon, while Balti- more will be 1868 miles, New York 1926 miles, Liverpool 4555 miles and Hamburg 5071 miles from the en- trance to the canal. Mobile and Pen sacola will both be nearer Colon than New Orleans and considerably nearer than Galveston, but all four are nearer the canal than any Atlantic port
 When to this advantage are added the nearest coal seams and ore de- posits to the coast it is seen at once what the advantages of this district are. But these advantages would be neutralized if this district had to de- pend upon railroad transportation. Heavy articles of commerce cannot be carried to advantage in that way. The district will have an Open War rior. The advantages of this district as compared with any other mineral district in the country are, therefore, as follows:
 1. Proximity to the coast.
 ?. Water transportation to tide water.
 3. Shortest sea trip to Colon.
 Fortified by these advantages, our coal and our iron and steel and their products can be laid down at Colon at rates that Pittsburg cannot touch, and probably not England or Ger many. So far as coal is concerned, our coal can be laid down at Colon s1 a ton cheaper than any other coal in the world. In order to do this, how ever. we must get ready to utilize an Open Warrior to the fullest possible extent. This is the hope of the dis f,.ia

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
We'll Known Railroad Man.

oscar G. Murray, who retires from the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad this week and who becomes chairman of the board of directors, while not native of the south is a southern by adoption and began his railroad career at Galveston as ticket agent for the Galveston. Houston and Henderson road,' said a traffic official.
 MT. Murray was born at Bridgeport Conn, in 1s47. He came south fin 1872 and from ticket agent he was promoted quite radpily. He continued with the road with. which he started until 1880 when he had risen to the position of general freight and passenger agent. From August. 1sso to November 30. 1885, he was general freight and passenger agent of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe road: December 1, 1885, to Septem- Der 15 1Ss6. traffic manager of the Mis- souri Pacific lines in Texas, and also dur ing the most part of this period traffic manager of the Texas and Pacific rail- road
 From December IS, 1886. to October 30, 1888, MT. Murray was freight traffic manager of all the Missouri Pacific lines, with headquarters at St. Louis, Mo-; Mo- vember 1. 1888. to November 1, 1892. freight traffic manager of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis. St. Louis and Chicago rail- road, and Its successor the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis rail- way (the Big Four system), also the Chesapeake and Ohio road. From Mo- vember 1, 1892. to February 15 1896, he was second vice president of the same system.
 MT Murray then went to the Balti- more and Ohio system as first vice pres ident in charge of traffic The road was placed in the hands of receivers Febru- ary 29. 1896, and Mir Murray was ap- John K. Cowen. They rehabilitated the property and returned 1t to the company in April, 1899, and were discharged by the court as receivers May 25, 1900. MT. Murray again became first vice presi- dent Of the Baltimore and Ohio and was elected president of the road Decem- ber 27, 1903, the election becoming ef- fective January, 1904
 MT. Murray is director in a number of important railroads. While he has been one of the busiest railroad men in the country he has always taken an in- terest in social life and is a member of nearly every club fin Baltimore. Few of ficials in the railroad world have so large an acquaintance az Oscar Murray"

Issues In Eneland
trict.

The first elections in England are to be held next Saturday, and speedily thereafter elections will be held in other districts until the great consti- tutional issue is decided. Both sides are confident, although the better opin- ion is that the liberals, aided by the nationalists, will secure a decreased majority-a majority sufficient to pass the budget and to start schemes for improving the condition of the masses.
 Perhaps 1t may be said that no matter which side wins, the house of lords is to be reconstructed. The pres ent house of lords is inefficient and unrepresentative, and both parties know it must be reconstructed. The better plan seems to consist in permit ting the present peers to select 100 peers each year to sit as an upper house.
 But no reconstruction will be per- mitted to give the upper house an equal share in financial legislation, or in the framing of great public policies. The liberals say that they cannot ac- cept office unless this be conceded.
 The tariff plays no great part in the English campaign. The attack upon the peers is the chief feature, and the dominance of the commons is an es- sential part of the campaign. The constitution will be changed, which ever side wins, and the larger the lib eral majority the greater will be the changes wrought in the unwritten con- stitution of a patient people.

5t. Paul Dispatch.

From the St. Paul Dispatch.
 When Mrs. Leslie Carter was in St Paul recently she did not have the pet dog which was the cause of her leaving the Hotel Grunewald in New Orleans, Tuesday night, when the management told her the pup could not stay in her sleeping room. If she had brought it here she probably would have encoun- tered tho same trouble with St. Paul ho- tel managers.
 '~The baggage room is dog room at this house." said the clerk at the Ryan. There's where Mrs. CArter's pet would have landed if it had been presented"
 Tho same rule applies to all the other first-class hotels. As far as is known, it was violated only once at the Ryan, and that was when a guest had bulldog valued at several thousand dollars which the management did not want to take the responsibility of caring for over night in the baggage room 'Fvaiuabies ara usualiy placed in an envelope and locked in tho vault" the clerk said. "but we did not have any envelope biz enough for the dog"

Secret Voting In Mississippi

The Mississippi democrats ordina- rily select candidates for United States senator in primaries, but in selecting a senator to fill the vacancy created by the death of the lamented McLaurin the old methods Of the machine have been adopted. The legislature is eau cusing with closed doors and all bal lots are absolutely secret. No one knows how the man next him has voted The entire affair is conducted mysteriously. It is subway matter throughout, and no doubt many de- tails are gumshoed.
 In adopting such ancient methods the Mississippi democratic members of the legislature are not pleasing the people of Mississippi, for they most certainly desire a wide-open caucus if, in order to save time and expense, there is to be caucus at all Every democrat in the state is entitled to know just how his representative or representatives voted throughout the present deadlocked caucus. A secret caucus is a misfit in these times. Any caucus is, for that matter, when an of flee is to be filled. This is an age of primaries and referendums-an age of the many instead of the caucusing few. If the democrats in the Missis. sippi legislature desire to please their constituents. they will abandon secret voting and every vote will be fully re- corded and as fully published. to the end that each voter in the state may know how his representative bore himself in all the turns and crises oi the balloting.

 small. toddling creature. less than two feet In height and clad in white furs with little knit cap at the summit. came down Broadway yesterday afternoon in the tow of a handsome young woman. Before she had led her tiny cnarge over half block people began to turn around and take notice. Chorus girls gazed at the mite with wondering interest and cries of Isn't 1t cutter" What is the little darling, anyhow" Noted actresses gazed from their autos and puzzled their brains as to the identity of the little crea- ture. The interest grew deeper; crowd began to gather, all fascinated by the small being. which toddled gamely on. now and then blinking at the multitude with big blue eyes.
 Finally the pressure grew too great and . soubrstte. unable longer to restrain her curiosity, bespoke the protector of the mysterious budget.

From the New York Sun.
 @HE Spectator tells in the Out
 (OD look how he had occasion to look
 up an advertising man in one of the big stores.
 He went to his offices on the top floor a very comfortable set of rooms, with stenographers and partitions galore-but was told the expert had just started on his morning trip through the store.
 T will telephone to the various depart ments and see If can find where he is." said the chief stenographer. and began the hunt.
 She called up ono place after another. In one he had just left; in another, not yet come; in another, had left 15 minutes before; and so on.
 How long will it take for him to come back here if you don't find him?' asked the Spectator, thinking the advertising man liable to return within half an hour or SO.
 "Oh," was the reply, "Mr. will be all the morning making his trip. You see, every day he goes to every department and looks at things and consults with the heads of the department as to leading lines for next day and gets the whole store in his head. Then all the afternoon he plans and dictates the copy. Our advertising has to be up-to-date. up-to-the-hour and the minute.-
 The Spectator was more impressed with this than ever when the advertising man was finally located in the kitchen ware department. There the visitor found him going over new coffee pot with the department head. The two wers discuss- ing all the varieties in the market and were just dispatching . salesgiri round to several other stores in the guise of q shopper for coffee pots to sec what prices ruled elsewhere.

When they met later Cont, accompanied by his brother, and Finley with McBryer, the quarrel was renewed, a general fusillade fol- lowing. Finley was unhurt.
