There isn't one OF us that doesn't
need play, but some OF us get II and
some OF us don't. The rich man
usually has his full share OF oppor-

motoring. sailing. billiards. dancing,
riding. golf and so on. The man In

CARD OF THANKS

There are hours that come into the lives of some when every im- pulse of the heart is buried under its weight of sorrow. We stand there today; yet we would fain give expression to the gratitude that wells up from the depth of our hearts as we remember the generous kindness of the many good friends who so nobly render ed assistance during the illness and death of our beloved wife and daughter. We can but hope that friends as true may gather around each one of them should sorrow in- wade their home. K. B. ADAMS.

Newark hasn't the age that Batesville has, IS not the coun- ty site, has not the ollege that Batesville has, does not have the Odd Fellows and Masonic Orphans Homes and a few other things we could mention. Newark, also, has not some things to her disadvant- age that Batesville has. K We are accused of using a hammer" against Batesville. We plead not guilty; we are simply stating facts. Having resided in Batesville 20 years, and being perfectly familiar with the subjects we discussed in the article referred to, we have nothing to take back. Wynne Progress.

IS HE ALONE TO BLAME?
Minister Asks Pointed Questions Which Hay Touch Sensitive
 Spot on Some One

And J. E. Porter has gone to the United States prison in Geor- gia. Is he alone responsible for his downfall? Let every man and boy Tn Newark, and Newport, and Batesville, who ever drank with him, or encouraged him in drink ing, stand up and answer. While 1 do not condone his personal of tense, nor apologize for his sin,' yet he Is far, far, from being alone in this disgrace and ruin to him and his suffering family. "Woe to him that putteth the bottle to thy neighbors lips and maketh him drunken" is the plain word of God, and it will not return unto God void. The reaping will come by and by, for God says so. Will his comrades in drink and gamb- ling now rally to his family, or will they pass by on the other side, say ing the d fool ought to have had better sense" That he ought, and so ought they, and they can never dodge the grave respon- sibility, neither for time nor eter- nity. Liquor saps the foundation of moral integrity from under man, and when that is gone there is not much left but wreck and remorse. Will this be the last vic tim for Newark? humbly trust so. It IS one too many. May there never be another.
 We are now at our Wave-washed and water-stained home. The wa ter mark in our house stands two full feet, but we are happy and healthy. Had two fine services yesterday and are pulling our selves together for a forward movement. We hope to make good yet. We feel indebted to our many friends at Newark and Sulphur Rock for kindness shown us dur ing our stay in the hills, and to others for invitations that Nuid not use; will keep them on the line for the future.

 She is survived by her husband to whom she was ardently devot- ed. She is also survived by her mother, two sisters and one broth CT. She was member of the Methodist church and was also a a member of the Eastern Star, the Royal Neighbors and the Wood men Circle.

WHERE WILL 1T END?
rluddle Raised by the |. and R. May Result in Framing
 New Constitution

Did the people know what they wanted, and what they doing, when they adopted the Initiative and Referendum Amendment to the Constitution?
 Are the people superior to the Constitution, or are they restrict ed by the Constitution?
 Shall there be one sovereign state or as many petit sovereign ities as there are counties and municipalities?
 Shall Arkansas be turned over to Chaos, or shall its laws and its lawmakers be harmonized and unified?
 Does the English language mean what 1t says, and if it's meaning be susceptible of harmful interpre- tation, in statute or amendment, may the courts read out of 1t some less vicious meaning?
 These are some of the questions that are now confronting the Su- preme Court of Arkansas, and the situation is truly a momentous one because of the far-reaching interests involved. Untold con- fusion has come of the effort at direct legislation, and 1t is unlike ly that even the Supreme Court will be able to solve all these diff culties. The Legislature will be forced to make another attempt at the Enabling Act, the present one being admittedly loose and ambiguous, if not presumptions in its pretended restrictions of pop ular legislatiorE Out of 1t all, 1t is the growing belief of those who watch the trend of affairs, will come constitutional convention, either called by the next Legisla- ture, or initiated by the people This is believed to be the only real solution of the difficulties that con- front the state in its attempt to harmonize its dual legislative pow CTS. The sentiment in favor of Constitutional convention has been growing for several years, and the present situation is forcing its re- alization.
 On the 17th, the supreme court will attempt to solve the l. and k. puzzle, and as the supreme court has the last guess at 1t, the courts decision is awaited with much in- terest by those who have studied the matter.
 Whatever view may be taken of 1t, here are some extracts from At torney General Norwood's argu-

Newark, Independence Friday,

ment of the case that the court will not be able to brush aside lightly:
 Our position is that Amend ment No. 10 must be read in con- nection with the entire Constitu- tion, and that if the words of the Amendment are susceptible of two constructions, either of which is warranted by the words of the Amendment, that construction is to be preferred which best har- monizes the Amendment with the general terms, tenor and spirit of the whole Constitution.
 To construe theAmendment as contended by the appellees each clause of the Amendment would nullify the other. For example:
 "If the municipality has the right to propose and pass a law contrary to the general state law, then the county in which such mu- nicipality is situated cannot pass any law in conflict with that mu- nicipal law in force, so as to affect that city, although the city is in the county, thus nullifying that power supposed to be reserved to the people of the county; likewise the people of the state could not pass any law to be in force in a city contrary to such city law, thus nullifying that reserve of power to the people of the state. And this state of affairs exists in each instance, each power nullify- ing the other. If the people of a county are supreme in that coun- ty, then the people of the state have no place in which to be su- preme, because the whole state is covered by counties, and there is no territory left. What endless confusion, notification and conflict by any such interpretation?
 For the people of a state to au- thofize the people of a county or municipality to repeal a law en- acted by the people or by the Gen. eral Assembly, or to pass a law in- consistent with such laws, would be a recognition of the supremacy of such counties and municipali- ties and would amount to the state surrendering its sovereignty, and we insist that the people of the state did not intend to do this, and cannot do this even upon local affairs.
 County and municipalities have no right to complain at what the apellees insist Is an unwarranted limitation placed upon their pow CTS by the Enabling Act, because counties and municipalities had no powers to reserve. The reservation of power to the people of counties to enact laws is a new departure in the history of governments, and it has never been attempted or thought of, so far as we are advis- ed, anywhere on earth except in Arkansas, to give counties and municipalities power contended for by the appellees.'

STATE FORESTER
ISSUES FIRE WARNING

Plans we're made by many loggers.
lumber companies and others owning
land covered with intlammable mater
ial, for the burning Of their slashing
during the fall of 1911, but continued
rains during the fall months made II
impos sible in the majority Of cases to
carry out this work. In order 10 re-
duce the fire hazard during the coming
season it is therefore Of the greatest
importance that all persons or com
panies having slashing on their hold
ings make arrangements 10 burn this
material during periods Of favorable
weather between now and the com
mencement of the extremely dry
season. If this work receives the
attention il should, hundreds Of dan
gerous slashings can be burned without
risk to green timber, and we can enter
the fire season with one Of our greatest
menaces removed.
Permits from State Fire Wardens
must be obtained for all burning done
after June /. However. il cannot be
too strongly urged that you arrange
for the burning Of your slashings be-
fore this date, providing weather
conditions are favorable.
T. A. Elliott. state forester, says:
The Forest Fire season is only
few weeks Off. Those who have slash
inps to burn, as the result of land
clearing, logging read building, or any
other purpose, should begin to watch
for the time when burning can be done
in accordance with the law, and with
safety to surrounding property. II is
only by having slashngs removed
through early spring or late fall burn
ing that there is hope Of keeping down
fires later on.
Timber land is paying a large part
Of the taxes in Oregon, 15 to 80 per
cent in some counties. The owners OF
this class of property are not asking
for roads. or other improvements TO
enhance the value Of their property,
but are contributing cheerfully TO
have these built for the benefit Of
others. 1t therefore, seems only right
that county officials should assist in
preserving a property which contrib
utes so substantially to the running
expenses of the government.
County Courts can do much to help
keep down fires both by being sure
that rights of way of roads are kept
free from inhammable material and
by assisting the state forester during
the dry months through assigning men
to work under his direction. One bad
fire will result in the loss of thousands
of dollars of tax money to the state,
and it is sound public policy to avoid
this if possible.
Growers through the Inland Empire,
says dispatch, will fight the North
west Fruit Exchange, recently organ
lied at Portland, to a finish. George
president of the Spokane
County horticultural society, says:
81 have proof that the exc hange is
backed by the firm of Krutchheld d
Voolfolk of Pittsburgh, of the So
called fruit trust.
Making Spokane headquarters for
the organization was simply bait and
sop to obtain the cooperation and sup
port of our orchardists.
