Editor Picayune:
Dear Sir:
So much is being said in re-
gard to Amendment No 10, which
seems to me to be for the pur-
pose of creating confusion in the
minds of the people, rather than
for giving information. that | am
constrained to ask permission to
say few words in behalf of the
Amendment.
Every argument that has been
made against this amendment,
and in fact every argument that
can be made against it, is neces-
sarily based on the presumption
that the people are not capable
of self government. | care not
whether the argument is direct

initiative and referendum. or

Ny Dear Sir: For several weeks

If you remember, when yOn vera

baby was sick. He was then having
his third attack of bowel trouble this
summer. They were very severe.

JUDGED against patent medicine, SO

confidence to some extent, (pardon the
modified elause)
In the last case however my wife
agreed to try your Baby Balm.
went to my doctor and told him that |
wanted to try it. He said that he did
not know what it contained but to
give it a trial. We d!d and it work I'd
like a charm. Now my wife will Lot
be without it and the baby has not had
bad case with his bowels since we
began using it.

your Baby Balm. Just night before

here to get badly medicine. My wife
says tell him to get Baby Balm, :
but he had already learned its worth
and that was what he was after.
You yourself know that | have al

for a patent medicine, but | could
hardly resist IN this case. since feeling
the great benefits received from your

Very respectfully yours.

The above is one one of the thou
sands of unsolicited lerters received in
support of Baby Balm and this baby Is
one of the 60, GOO Arkansas Babies test

was not single failure or complaint.
MIR. Baker is Editor and Proprietor
of the Advance Reporter of Waldron

weekly newspapers in the state. His
letter is given space because of his
known prejudice against patent medl-
cines.
The manufactures offer $1,000 for a
formula or prescription producing a
greater percent of cures than Baby
Balm. They also offer 500 for case
of bowel infection in children that will
not yield to Baby Balm if given under
specific directions from beginning.

self from a general state law, and
could legalize betting on a horse
race within its corporate limits.
Those who contend for such a
construction as this on this
amendment, do so, without any
authority either from the rules
of constructions of laws or from
the amendment itself. In their
argument they entirely ignore
the words of the amendment
contained in the so-called
Joker" which gives to the
State the power to initiate laws.
The words of the amendment to
which such objections are made
are as follows:
THE legislative power of this
state shall be vested in a General
Assembly, which shall consist of
the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives but the people of
each Municipality, each County,
and of the State, reserve to
themselves power to propose
laws and amendments to the
Constitution and to enact or re-
ject the same at the polls indie

sembly, and also reserve power
at their own option to approve
,r reject at the polls any act of
the legislative assembly,
This is what is called the
Joker. - By what system of
reasoning any one can conclude
that this gives the Municipality
power to overthrow, set aside
and annul a state law is entirely
out of the range of my compre-
h4nsion. They tell us that be
cause the amendment says The
people of Municipality may
initiate law" therefore 1t fol
lows as matter Of necessity that
the people Of the municipality
can set aside a state law. The
amendment also says that the
People of the State may initiate
laws; did it ever occur to these
directors that this provision
would also give the people of the
State the same power to set
aside municipal law. that II
would give the Municipality to
set aside a state law, even pro
ceeding on their own theory OF
construction. They argue this
question like they believe the
municipality is in every way
superior to the state, and that

NEW YORK STOCK MARkEI.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, May 24-The stock market
dropped back into a stangnant state to-
| day in contrast with the comparative an
| imation of the day before The news
consisted mostly of the efforts to guess
| the identity of the sellers who depressed
| the market yesterday. without much ap-
parent interest as to the motives which
might have prompted them. The sailing
today for Europe of individuals who
have been prominent at times in the
speculation was hit upon as an indication
that they had been cleaning up accounts
yesterday preparatory to this departure.
The selling pressure was no longer in
evidence today and the supply of stocks
for sale was much diminished. Uncov-
cred shorts had to advance bids to get
stocks. The tactics of the room traders
to move prices made up today's market
almost together.
The course of the international ex-
changes afforded some relief from the
feeling on that account yesterday The
reaction in the sterling exchange rate
IN Paris was even more violent than
the abrupt advance of yesterday and
in New York there was reaction also,
which was much more moderate. The
private discount rate in London. at the
same time relaxed. The belief was
strengthened that this movement was as
erations recently in progress in Paris
market and possibly, also with the clos
ing of the bankers agreement in Paris
regarding the Chinese railroad loan

of any active steps in renewal of the pro

States Steel to the list of the Paris
Bourse. Both subjects We're further dis
cused and helped to the firmer tone of
stocks. The approach of a London stock

of much uncertainty and no little deli
Cacy.
RunorS have been persistent that
Wright, who has been officially chosen
leader of any team which may compete
for the Dwight f. Davis international
cup. now held by Australia hopes to
bring back the preliminary match with
Great Britain to this country. Officers
of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association Monday denied this.
and insisted that Wright sailed on his
own initiative, and that the association
knew nothing of his plans.
An officer of the association. who al
SO belongs to the international team
committee, was very peSsimistic Mon
day over the whole outlook. The Eng
lishmen. he said. very positively refuse
to come to this country. On the other
hand it would be difficult to pick an
American team to visit Australia. 1t
would be easy to get a first-cIasS team
to go to London, but if the team
should win. il must then go to Aus
tralia. and few players feel that they
can spare the time.
