Lent Started Wednesday.

The Lenten season started Wednes-
day. which was Ash Wednesday, forty
days before Easter, which this year
falls on March 81. The day was OBJ
served by Roman Catholics everywhere
with regular Ash Wednesday mass
services, and the beginning of forty
days fasting in commemoratiop of the
fasting of Jesus Christ preparatory to
his service in the ministry. Members
of the American Episcopal church also
observed the day with especial solem..
nifty as the opening of the pentential
season.
The name, Ash Wednesday, was de-
rived from the ancient custom of put
ting ashes upon tine head as a symbol
of humble repentance of sin. In the
Roman Catholic church it is part OF
the religious services on Ash Wednes-
day for the priest to put ashes on the
head of each worshipper as he is kneel-
ing at the altar rails. The ashes are
put on in the form of the cross, and
they are the ashed from the blessed
palms used on Palm Sunday of the
previous year.

Lad RELATES STORY
OF CALIFORNIA TRIP
MASTER MITCHELL WRITES OF
HIS JOURNEY TO PACIFIC
COAST.

The Log Cabin Democrat IS in re-

instead Mitchell, 10-year-old boy,
who, with his father, M. E. Mitchell,
recently made the trip from Conway
to the Pacific coast:
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
| will write to the daily so my
school friends may know that | have
arrived safe.y in California. We
came by the way of Memphis over
the Choctaw road and saw where the
high water had been on the houses in
Arkansas near the Mississippi river.
We stayed in Memphis and hour and
took the Frisco to Kansas City,
where We arrived the next day at
noon. Father had some business
there, so we stopped off for six hours.
Later We took a ride on the street
car and stopped at the Baltimore.
This is fine hotel, with elevators in
it. Our room was in the sixth story.
We started for Denver at 6 o'clock
and the next morning we could see
mountains all around with snow.
Denver is a mile high and it was
very cool there. We stayed there five
hours and visited the state capitol
and city park. The capitol building
is beautiful building with lot of
gold on the dome. The city park is
very large and full of all kinds of
animals-bears, moose, buffaloes, elk,
monkeys, etc. 1t also has d large lake
in it, where you can go boat-riding.
We also visited the museum with all
kinds of rocks in it. The train to
Cheyenne connected with the over
land to San Francisco and our
sleeper, which was a new steel car,
went clean through. The next day
after we passed Ogden. We crossed
Salt Lake on trestle which was
about 27 miles long. We passed
through lots of deserts in Nevada
and lots of mountains the next day
covered with snow in California. Sat
urday morning it was a little cool, as
we were up 5000 feet.
Sunday morning we passed through
40 miles of snow sheds and saw
many beautiful mountain streams
We arrived in San Francisco about
2 o'clock, having travelled over 2,60C

JUDGE HUTTON TO
FOLD COURT HERE
WILL NOT BE POSTPONED
LANKFORD WRITES HE
IS OPPOSED TO PUTTING
OFF SESSION.

Judge H. N. Hutton of Mariana
Will preside at the July term of the
Faulkner circuit coutr, and the ses-
sion will not be postponed unless
Judge Hutton so orders it, according
to letter received here this morning
by Prosecuting Attorney George w.
Clark and Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje
from Judge Eugene Lankford of De
Wallis Bluff.
A petition was telegraphed to
Judge Lankford last Monday night
asking him to postpone the session of
court for one week on account of the
farmers of the county being behind
with their work. In letters received
today, which are in answer to the pc
tition, Judge Lankford says the court
will be held by Judge Hutton, with
whom he has exchanged circuits, and
any petition for a postponement
would have to be brought before the
latter.
In his letter Judge Lankford stat
ed that he had drafted the bill chang
ing the time of the July term of the
Faulkner circuit court from the sec
ond. to the fourth Monday, and it
passed the house in this way, but was
amended in the senate to make it the
third Monday in July. The Judge
says he hopes now a postponement
will not be granted.

SOME FACTS AS TO THE
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT
c H o. G E BY PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTORS HAS BEEN IN
FORCE FIFTY YEARS.

The next presidential election will
take place on Tuesday, November s.
1912. The president and vice presi-
dent are not elected by the direct
vote of the people, but are chosen by
officials elected every four years who
are called electors" These presi-
Dental electors are chosen in each
state by the qualified voters thereof
by ballot, on the first Teusday after
the first Monday in every fourth
year preceding the year in which the
presidential term expires. Presi-
Dental election dates are always di
visible by the figure and the day of
election is uniform in all the states.
Originally our presidential electors
were chosen by the state legislatures,
but gradually the idea of popular
government so inherently fixed in the
minds of our people overcame the
prejudice of the ruling class and
caused the legislatures to place the
choosing of the electors in the peo-
pies hands. This was more than so
years ago. For great many years
many people have contended for the
right to elect the president, the vice
president and United States senator's
by direct vote of the people. Each
state is entitled to electors equal in
number to the whole number of SEN
ators and representatives which the
state is entitled to in congress.
The number of electors which each
state is entitled to choose is as fol-
lows:

HOLDS LOCAL ACTS
CANT BE INITIATED
.SUPREMECOURT DECISION
is INTERPRETED BY NORWOOD
TO BAR ALL COUNTY |.
AND r. BILLS.

Little Rock, July 1.-THE legisla-
ture cannot, in my opinion, and in
view of the decision handed down by
the supreme court last Monday, con-
fer upon a county authority to ini-
tiate law independent of the legis-
lature.
Furthermore, the only way a
county can initiate law under the |.
and r. amendment is to secure on it's
petition Is per cent of the total vote
cast for governor in the entire state,
and not in the county affected"
This is the opinion that has been
given out by Attorney General Nor
wood, invalidating every local meas
ure proposed under the amendment.
as well as those declared invalid un-
der the direct decision of the SUI
preme court. 1t follows that not one
OF the proposed cast can be voted on.
except the statewide measures.
Since the decision of the supreme
court Monday, it had been thought
that some of the proposed county
laws, not being in conflict with any
state law, might be submitted to the
people, but the hopes of their pro-
moters are blasted by General Nor
woods decision. The measures af-
fected are:
To exempt Sharp county and that
part of Independence county north of
White river from the operations of
the tick law of 1911.
To place the officers of Clark and
Pope counties on a salary.
For fence laws in Conway and Lo-
noke counties.
To permit the sale of liquor in
Camden.
To abolish district court in Prairie
county.
The state will lose nothing by rea-
son of the publication of those pro-
posed acts, as bond had been given
to cover the cost, or certificates of
publishers filed relieving the state
from cost if the acts were declared
invalid. The tick law, the fence laws
and the Prairie county court law, or
iginally thought to be within the
meaning of the amendment, are now
held invalid. The cost of publication
of these is about $25 each, and Secre-
tary of State Hodges says if the leg
is'ature does not allow the claims he
VII pay them himself.
Under the Interpretation of Gener-
al Norwood, if Little Rock or Pulaski
county desired to initiate a law appli-
cable only to the city or county, its
petition must contain 8 per cent of
the total votes cast for governor in
the state.
This ! practically nullifes the
amendment so far as counties and
cities are concerned, except that
there has been no decision yet with
reference to the referendum powers
of municipality.
