adopt this amendment and return
it to the Senate for the fight to he

questions to he fought out with ref

the insane ASYLUM The Board sup
ported bv the Governor has recon-
mended the sale OF the present asy-
lum and the erection OF another
somewhere else, but it is safe pre-
diction that this will not prevail
without a hard hght. 1t is general
" accepted that more facilities are
needed for the care of insane pa
tients, but Just how it will be ac-
complished remains to be seen.
Hon. p. f. Cbappell, of Prescott,
will succeed W. X. Chestnut as su-
perintendent of the Reform School
on April lst He is former mem
Der of the Legislature, and is well
known to the public men of the
state. The Penltentary Board,
which has charge of the Reform
School. has recommended the sale
OF the present property and the pur-
chase of another site in a good ag-
ricultural tract where the'bovs may
be taught practical agriculture, and
assist in their own maintainence.
There are now sixty boys in the
school. but in their present location
they cannot be employed in useful
arts so we'll as they could be on a
farm. The suggestion has been
made that the Reform School and
the Confederate Home exchange
properties, each being more desir-
able for the other than the present
arrangement.
The Confederate Home is in the
midst of fertile agricultural section,
and other desirable lands contig-
uous to it may be purchased to ad-
vantage The old soldiers do not
require farming lands, and in the
natural course Of a few years the in
stitution which cares for the declin-
ing remnant of the Confederate vet
erans may be used as place of de-
tention for female criminals. At
present there is no means of taking
care of them, and the policy an
nounced a few years ago by a for

LITTLE Rock, March |

LITTLE NOSh, MdIClI l.
Notwithstanding the fact that
only few DAYS of the regular ses
sion remains, the question OF extend
ing the session has not been made
an issue But IT will be extended.
1t will have to be extended itany ct
the important business OF the state
is to be transacted The only alter
native is an extra session, and the
only advantage that would be gam
ed from that wuuld be the restric-
ion of subjects Of legislation. Up to
the present time there have been 2+S
bills introduced in the Senate and
27S in the Senate, the majority OF
them local measures and very few
general bills vtally affecting the in
tereSts of the people at large have
enacted. Only one general appro
priation bill has so far been consider
ed, that appropriating $l2o,OOO IN
a lump sum for the maintainance OF
the Deaf Mute Institute And it is
that very lump sum that has hung
up the bill as a target. There is
faction in both houses that opposes
giving the boards so much power
in the disbursement of public funds,
while there is another faction that
contend this to be the more business
like method of procedure That this
would establish a precedent for the
Insane Asylum, Blind School, Uni
verSity and other institutions, mean
ing the handling of more than a mil
lion dollars, unitemized, by the va
riouS boards, is an objection that
has been urged, This method
would not permit the governor to
exercise his right of veto over indi-
vidual items in the appropriation
bills, as he did following the last
session, but this objection has been
overcome by the statement OF the
committee on the floor that the Deaf
Mute bill, as offered had received
the sanction first of the governor.
He had, it is said, expressed his faith
in the management of the State
Board of Charitable Institutions,
which had economical in excess
even of his veto in 1909, and declar-
ed that the board is we'll able to
continue such a course His conf
dence in the Board was emphasized
during the past week by his reap
pointment of the old members with

Moving for a Creditab'e High
School Building.
Our School Board Asks the Corporation
of the People.

At the meeting of Harrison 5
school board on Saturday last,
Prot. Moore was rendered the posi-
ton of superintendent for another
wear, and it is understood that he
will accept it. The schools growth
and efficiency under his direction has
been altogether satisfactory, and
the Wisdom of retaining him is APP
parent to all
The Board also decided to select
the other teachers of the faculty at
the March meeting, and ask that all
applications for positions be filed
with the secretary, B F. McMahan,
before March 10Th,
4 resolution was UNANIMOUSLY
passed to borrow 500, 900 at . per
cent, for the purchase of grounds
and the erection of High School
building; subject, however, to the
sanction of the voters OF the district
as expressed at the coming MAY
school election.
The Board feels that the demand
for this enlargement Of our school
facilities is imperative, but wishes the
voters and taxpayers Of the district
to take the initiative
Not only is the efficiency of our
school system demanding broader
conveniences, but such Improvement
would put Harrison educationallv,
as it is commercially, far to the fore
front in North Arkansas.

Movement is Now on Foot.

That Paris will make an exceptional
ly strong effort to secure thu forthcOm-
ing Republican convention of the Third
Railroad District. is evidenced by the
activity which is being demonstrated
by several of our public-spirited citi-
zens. irrespective OF political affili-
atoms. and the effort to raise funds to
meet the epXense of the convention is
being rewarded.
At the meeting of the committee
which is to be held in Mt. Sterling on
March IL, large delegation of prOmi-
nent Republicans headed by City Col
lector Stamps Moore will be present to
present the claims of Paris in an effort
to secure the convention for this city.
The petition which has been in circu-
lation for several days for the purpose
of raising funds to meet the exper &C
of the invention. should the com nit
tee decide to hold it in Paris, is b eing
literally signed. and there is little
doubt but that sufficient support car
be secured.

the Circuit Court room will probably

dred delegates to the convention be
