LARGE AUDIENCE ATTENDS DEBATE LIVE QUESTION DISCUSSED HENDRIX ORATORS SPEAK OF INITIATIVE AND REFER
 ENDUM.

With counter-attraction in the shape of an excellent program of talking moving pictures at the Air dome and theatrical production giv en under a tent by travelling com pany, the Hendrix commencement ex- ercises drew decidedly the best crowd last night, an audience of at least 600 gathering in the college audito- rum to hear the annual program and debate by the Franklin and Harlan societies.
 The subject of the debate was Resolved, That the People of Ar kansas Should Adopt the Initiative and Referendum Amendment Offered them Next September" The various points of advantage and disadvantage of this amendment to the people were carefully and clearly presented by each side. The affirmative side urged that it was needed as protection against corrupt and incompetent leg islatures and would eliminate bood- ling and graft, and that, instead of breaking down representative govern ment, it would only strengthen and safeguard republican institutions. They cited Switzerland as an example of the benficient effect of the peoples rule" and also called attention to a number of American states which have made a success of the policy.
 The representatives of the pega- tive devoted their principal argument to an attack on the Arkansas amend ment in particular rather than to the principle in general. They contended the amendment was weak in that it required the signatures of only eight and five per cent of the voters to call it into operation, percentage they held to be entirely too small. The negatives also charged that the initia. tive and referendum had proved a failure in states which had adopted it. and was seldom CT never used; that the expense of resultant special elections would be too great and the voters would not take interest in ques- tions submitted, as shown by their apathy to the various constitutional amendments submitted by the Arkan- sas government. Another point urg- ed was that the principle would de- stroy the distinction between constitu- tonal and statutory law.
 The affirmative side was represent ed by J. w. Reynolds and T. T. Mar dis of the Franklin society and the negative by R. D. Ramsey and J. J. Harrison of the Harlan society.
 The result of the debate will not be annol rced until Wednesday morning C ~ Huopip1tt has rafIlrnad from

Council enters its most emphatic pro-
test against giving the peoples prop

crease of Apprentices.
The diamond manufacturers of New
York city have been notified that a
new labor agreement which will have
an important effect on the future Of
the trade has just been formed in AM
sterdam, Holland. the chief diamond
cutting center of the world. says the
Brooklyn Eagle Under the new agree
ment the manufacturers are allowed to
introduce 2,2OO. apprentices into the
factories in the next five years.
Up to this time the Diamond Work
ers international union has allowed
few apprentices under the belief that
this policy kept up salaries. The 400
cutters and polishers in this city have
been getting from $40 to $50 a week
In busy times in accordance with agree
merts made between the union and
the Diamond Manufacturers associa-
ton.
Another concession made by the
union is that diamond manufacturers
may now include their sons or relatives
among the 1900 apprentices. Hitherto
the workmen have generally preserved
to themselves the privilege of selecting
the apprentices. SO that the trade has
been handed down from father to son
for generations and kept to great ex-
tent in the same families. Because of
the high cost of diamonds no unneces-
sary risk Is taken of an apprentice
spelling stone, so his training is nee
essarily slow and thorough and takes
five or six years and often longer.
The consent of the union to the in

apprentices was given only after the
