Bobby Groom certainly deserved that

Mrs. Britton, owner of the St. Louis
Cardinals, may be forced out of
the National League, says Dame
Rumor, in favor of John Bruce,
secretary to the National Com
mission, and Roger Bresnahan.
Her influence, thwarting the plans

that she will be given a handsome

THE BOND AMENDMENT

The bond amendment which gives cities and towns in Arkansas the right to bond themselves for perma- nent public improvement, has received favor at the hands of the voters.
 If no other big thing results from the iniative and referendum than th.s bond amendment, the people are well paid.
 Legislatures have refused to pro pose this relief, and the cities of Ar kansan have suffered in their growth.
 The only opposition offered by any one to the bond amendment was the fear that it's privileges might be aDus- cd.
 The way to prevent an abuse of a privilege is for the people to take an active Interest in public affairs.
 No bonds may be voted for any pub lic improvement now until after tha matter has been submitted locally to the voters. If the voters approve the scheme for improvefent they will sig nifty their approval in the election in which the question is submitted.
 Hot Springs was particularly inter- ested in the adoption of this amend ment because We are sadly in need of some public Improvements,
 About 25 years ago some of our im- provements were made which were suitable to the little village at the time, and which probably looked ahead several years, but the builders then could not anticipate the Hot Springs of today.
 A number of our public improve ments are threadbare They will Dc taken up. one by one. and discussed with view to rebuilding. The citi- zenship that approved the bond amendment here must show even more enthusiasm when the improve ments are proposed, to the end that Hot Springs will grow
 All the cities of Arkansas will show material improvement The small towns that have been without public sewerage, public water works, and public lighting facilities, are going to enter into municipal enterprises along therse lines.
 Everywhere there win be develo ment The larger eiteies of the state will have to keep moving to keep pace with the development of the smaller ones. and before this bond issue plan is many years old Arkansas will be a commonwealth Of impressionable lit tie cities. instead of furnishing the panorama it now furnishes for the observant tourist.
