Little Rock, Sept. l3.-The returns
continue to come in very slowly, but
the fate of the various amendments
will be known in a day or two
Complete reports have been receiv-
ed from only one-third of the rs
counties of the state. Many .eft. taa
election commissioners have decided
not to canvass the returns until the
latter part of the week
The vote for amendment No. Is,
the bond issue amendment, seems to
be leading all other measures in ma
Jorlty for or against, except amend
ment No. l3, the 60-day session
amendment. This amendment appears
to have struck popular chord in
nearly all counties. The majority
against the statewide prohibition act
now is between six and seven thous-
and votes, but reports have been re-
ceived from some counties in which it
is stated that statewide prohibition
will lose by small majorities.

FRIDAY The 18TH,
CUPID'S BUSY DAY

/ Friday, the thirteenth, was a busy
day for Dan Cupid. Six aspirants
for benedictship appeared before
County Clerk Bailey today and receiv-
ed the necessary credentials to enter
the holy bonds of matrimony. As
usual thing, little Daniel is very sup
erstitious concerning such dates, but
today it seems that he either forgot
himself or else that the parties con-
cerned were willing to take . chance
on the outcome.
BY special request, the Log Cabin
Democrat will not publish the names
of two of the would-be benedicts.

THE TITANIC INQUIRY ABROAD

The Titanic investigation In Eng.
land is proceeding with more dignity
than that held here. There is little
more rcd tape about ii. But in bring.
ing out facts thus far It does not seem
to be doing any better than the Senate
committee. @.'m fia ''fF4
The cause OF the Titanic disaster
was apparent to everybody as soon as
the stories OF the survivors became
known aud were verified, and no
amount OF investigation can alter It.
Notwithstanding'thc derision heaped
upon the Senate committee and It's
method Of conducting the inquiry here,
1t did excellent work In letting the
world know the truth about the sinking
OF the ship so soon after she went
down, when the public was eager to
know and follow the details and could
put the right emphasis on them.
That the steamship companies them
selves have undertaken to adopt so
many safeguards which the accident
to the Titanic indicated even 10 n
landsman should be adopted was quite
conclusive proof that there was no oc.
casion to wait for lOns-drawn.out In.
,quiry to determine why SO many olives
were lost and some of the things which
common sense suggested be done TO
obviatc the danger OF another such
terrible catastrophe.
The views OF court such as that
nov hearing the testimony in England
will carry great deal of weight and
are we'll worth while. Its chief merit
is. however. not that It will throw
much new light on the sinking of the
Titanic, but that It will strengthen, the
hands of officials whose business II
will be to see that proper precautions
to save life are maintained at sea when
the great ocean tragedy, which has
emphasized the need OF them, is all
but forgotten.
