largely in promoters prospectuses,
but they have never been a compell'

trust On the contrary, the purpose or
combining has often been to curb elIi-

law Of the survival Of the fittest.

INTERESTING OPINION FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL

Amendment No. Is is the only act
or amendment voted on by the
people that was adopted
In further discussing the matter
he said that he did not think that
Amendments No. IA and Is could
have been declared adopted had
they received majority of all the
votes cast at the election, because
they were improperly submitted;
that Article 10 Section % of the
constitution provides that only
three amendments shall be sub
mitted at the same time, and that
Amendments Nos. II and II were
submitted by the General Assembly,
and that Amendment No. 13 was
initiated before Amendments Nos.
IA and Is.
The attorney general was asked
| if he would bring any kind OF pro-
ceedines to prevent the amend
ments from being declared adopted
that were improperly submitted or
did nol have the necessary number
of votes. He said that he would
not do so; that he did his duty
when he advised the secretary of
state to refuse to certify to the cleo
ton commissioners Amendments
! Nos. IA and Is, and that he was
not going to assume that the speak
er of the House of Representatives
would declare amendments adopted
in violation of the constitution; but
that if they were declared adopted,
the question would not be closed,
and could be raised at any time in
the courts.

Attorney General Hal L, Norwood
has declared that in his opinion a
majority OF the electors voting in
an election must vote in favor OF
an amendment for it to become
part of the constitution. He also
says that only three amendments
could legally have been submitted
at the general election If he is up
held in these two opinions Amend
ment No. 13, which limits the le3is-
lature to a 60 day session, probably
will be the only amendpent to be
adopted. However, Mayor Taylor OF
Little Rock, who is interested in the
bond amendment, says he has con-
suited eminent counsel, and that he
is not afraid this amendment will
be knocked out in the courts,
The attorney general declared it
was his opinion that Article 10,
Section %, Of the constitution
would govern in the matter, This
section provides that if a majority
of electors voting in such election
adopt such amendment, the same
shall become part Of the constitu-
tiol. He said that there was moth
ind III the initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution in
conflict with this provision, That
it must be admitted that the rule
laid down in Section % of Article
10 applied TO an amendment sub
mitted by the General Assembly,
and certainly there would not be
one rule as to measures submitted
by the legislature and another rule
Tor those initiated by the people
He said that in constituting the
amendment we should keep in view
the constitution as it was at the
time the amendment was made
and that the words Of the amend
lnent are to be construed with ref
erence to every other part so 0s tC
preserve harmony in the whole In
stant.
If the attorney general is correct
in his opinion, 1t appears that

TAFT TO BECOME
p YALE PROFESSOR
President Decides to Cast in His Lot
With His Alma Mater.

President Taft has made up his
mind to accept the offer Of the Kent
professorship of law at Yale recently
made to him, and probably will take
up his duties at New Haven early in
the spring.
The president was said tonight to
have determined upon accepting the
Yale professorship for several reas-
ons. He will not be restricted mere
ly to lectures to Yale students, but
will be permitted to eciure. If he de-
sires, in other law schools, or upon
the platform, or to engage in any
other occupation which he sees mt.
The analogy between the Yale
professorship and Grover Cleveland s
relation with Princeton appeals to
Taft strongly and when many OF his
close friends and advisers wrote to
him approving his acceptance of the
chair at Yale, he decided to take 1t.
The president expects to spend
several weeks after March 4 in ALL
gusta, Ca, where he has passed two
winter vacations.

SAW HEAD HANGING TO LIMB
Tally Was Some Scared, and Did Not
Stop Until He Got Home.

Several days ago an Italian was
hunting in 1.-THE woods about two
miles from Keystone, and as 1t be-
gan to grow dusk he passed beneath
a spreading chestnut tree, to the
lower limb Of which was hanging
human head. Under the head on the
ground, lay human body. Tally,
the man who discovered the body,
did not stop to investigate but made
break for home, and was SO scared
he could hardly tell what was the
matter. He told some of the men
there, and C. B. Stewart, postmaster
a, Nsrthfork, and some others went
up to investigate. After some search
the head and body were found, as
Tally had said. The dead man was
neatly dressed and was OF middle
age. No one knows anything about
him, nor was there any papers or
other thing upon his body whereby
he could be identified. 1t was APP
parently a case OF suicide. -McDow-

CUPID AT.WRECK SCENE
Shepard Gould Betrothal Dates from
Train Disaster.
II LOOSENED LIPS OF LOVER

Real romance, amid wreck and
darkness and disaster, attended the
betrothal of tlndlay j. Shepard and
Miss Helen Miller Gould
That their engagement dates from
the wreck of West Shore train on
which both were travelling westward,
on October 10 last, has just become
known.
1t was under the stress of the ex-
element attending this catastrophe,
and under the impulse of the Joy he
felt when he found Miss Gould was
uninjured that Mr.. Shepard declared
his love.
II was while she thrilled with ad-
miration of mis- heroic efforts to res
cue endangered passengers that Miss
Gould accepted him as her tiance.
Before this Miss Gould and Mr..
Shepard had long known and admir-
ed each other, but up to this time
Mr.. Shepard had not found courage
to declare his love.

The seals are ais used to raise f'lads

because my father died Of tuberculo-
