THE STATE.

The election in Arkansas is entirely satisfactory to the Democratic party. Robinson, for governor, and al other Democratic candidates for state of- ices. have been elected by largely in creased majorities.
 Statewide prohibition is defeated bY a decided majority.
 The "Grandfather" amendment seems to have been defeated, owing to large vote of negroes.
 The Turner-Jacobs Revenue bill is defeated by tremendous ma aiority.
 The proposed amendment 10 cleo tion laws met a similar fate, as did also all the other propositions sub mitted, with the possible exception of the one limiting the sessions and per diem of the General Assembly, and the one for Recall of al elective officials. and the bond amendment.
 The town of Conway, the home of Governor Donaghey. voted against state wide prohibition by 7o0 major ity. The town also voted for license, the first time in twenty years. It is estimated that at least twelve coun- ties heretofore against license, voted for license. This will swell the license counties to twenty-three and perhaps more. Pulaski county went against state wide and for license by 3. 300 votes.
 Charges of fraud on the part of the prohibition forces in Little Rock, Ar genta and other places, have been made by the local option forces. It is charged that outright violations of the law were committed At the court house, and other precincts in Forrest City, enthusiastic prohis gathered to electioneer, and worked hard, within 20 or 0feet Of the booth. This was clearly violation of the law.
 Two Of the measures submitted in the form of constitutional amend ments in Mondays election were de- feated before the polls were opened. One provided for the recall Of all offi- cers, including the judiciary, and the other authorized cities and towns of the state to issue bonds for public im- provements.
 The constitution of Arkansas plain ly says that but three amendments can be offered at any one election, and as the three were submitted by the legislature long before the recall and bond issue initiative petitions were put in circulation. practically all law. yers of note say the two amendments mentioned were dead before the polls opened Monday.
 The three propositions submitted by the legislature were the grand father clause" exempting cotton fac 1 tories from taxation for seven years and the proposition to limit sessions of the legislature to sixty days Al the other measures submitted were 1T the form Of acts, gotten up under the l initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitution, and all seem to have been defeated. except the sixty day legislature amendment.

Give Half The Road

Some complaint has come regarding
the giving of half the road; in case of
an automobile coming up behind a
fellow with a team he stubbornly re-
fuses to give any of the road, no
matter if there is plenty of road to
turn out Now the law recognizes
the rights of both the man with the
team and the man with the auto, and
these rights should be respected,
There are plenty Of men who are
running autos VINO should be driving
OK teams and vice versa, but all men
should not be treated that way. The
law says that when a man is over
taken by a faster vehicle, the man
driving the slower vehicle shall turn
out and give half of the beaten path.

A Lyric For
Memorial Day
By JOEL BENTON

1912. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
r .IFT UP once more the tinted bars.
~ From tower and steeple give them
sway
On whose bosom shine the stars.
Let freedoms flag the kiss of May
Feel in all it's folds today.
In state and town, in port and bay,
Fling the nations colors out.
Let the bands of music play
And pensive strains float all about
While speech and song and flowers gay
Come to crown Memorial day.

Deaths In the Federal Ranks.

According to the latest official COM
pilation, the whole number of deaths
among officers and enlisted men of the
Federal army during the war of the
rebellion, as shown by the official rec
ords, was 359, 529. The actual number,
however, must be somewhat larger,
because it is known that many Of the
records. especially those Of southern
prisons, are far from complete. The
number of deaths by causes in the
United States army during the war Of
the rebellion is shown in this table:

In the isles Of many a sea,
On the mainland broad and free,
Where'er a soldiers grave is found,
With sweet blossoms wreathe it round
For here no scepter is nor throne
Here no tyrant rule is known.
Tell it so the world may know
What today we surely owe
To the heroes of the past.
May their sacred offering last
In the memories that survive,
In freedoms name they kept alive,
And down the serried years to come,
Haloed be their martyrdom!

OUR HEARTS AND OUR LIVES
FOR OUR COUNTRY.

o beautiful my country, ours once
more!
Smoothing thy gold of war dishev-
eled hair
Ger such sweet brows as never 9TH
er wore
And letting thy set lips.
Freed from wraths pale eclipse.
The rosy edges of their smile lay
bare,
What words divine of lover or of
poet
Could tell our love and make thee
know it,
Among the nations bright beyond
compare?
What were our lives without
thee?
What all our lives to save thee?
We reck not what we gave thee,
We will not dare to doubt thee,
But ask whatever else and we will
dare!

Berlin Robbers Return Booty to Own
ers Which Contains No
"Riqhts."

Berlin.-A certain boot and shoe
manufacturer in Berlin is accustomed
to display in his shop windows boots
and shoes for the left foot only. keep
ing the corresponding right boot OF
each pair In his stock rooms behind
the shop. Arriving at his premises
the other morning. he was disguised
to find that his windows had been
broken and over 100 boots and shoes
carried off. Police efforts to trace
the thieves proved fruitless. and for
several days the shoemaker ruefully
contemplated his stock of odd right
boots and shoes. for which the left
foot fellows were missing. Finally.
however. he received through the post
communication written In typical
Berlin slang, of which the following Is
a translation:
Dear Mr. Shoemaker: You will
probably have noticed already that
we allowed ourselves the pleasure OF
visit to your shop windows. But the
boots were all for the left foot We
were not aware that the people In
your district were all left footed; pre-
sumably in the neighboring locality
they are right footed. 1t must be de-
lightful to see them dancing together.
My two companions who made up our
party did not wish to send your boots
back 10 you. but l am a decent sort OF
chap. and said: The man shall have
his boots again. Mr.. Shoemaker.
am quite a respectable fellow. butsi
was short of small change. and that
brought me upon the idea Of paying
you a visit But now. Mr.. Shoemaker.
