capped with only few bruises. Her
companion, Fred Lutz, aged Is, is
suffering with two farctures of the

surrendered to the United States
troops of the border patrol at Naco,

lasted for five days, and in which
more than half his troopers were

The Susquehanna river is trying to
snatch its annual toll of lives. OF
Washington Borough, near Port De
post, Md, there is pinioned house
boat so feet long and manned by five
men, members of the McCalls Ferry
Clubs. This boat, a new one, left Co.
lumbia yesterday morning. When the
upper end of the rapids were reached
the boat was picked up and thrown
upon ledge of rocks. The crew was
seen at dark yesterday evening MAJ
ing frantic efforts to release The boat.
No boats can get to them, and their
escape will depend upon their own eff
forts. There is no way Of communf-
cation with the imprisoned people. 5nt
he opinion is freely given that should
the heat be lifted off the rock there
will be but little chance of its getting
through the rapids.

CONTRAST OF PLATFORMS.

The papers supporting Judge Hays for governor pretend to be willing to
 tand upon the merits of their respec- tive platforms. Now, if Judge Hays has a platform, we would be pleased to 'divulge it. His opening speech at Fay Ietteville, which was read to his audi 'ence and has since been committed to memory by the south Arkansas jurist,
 is general preachment to which no one will take exception and upon questions that we are all agreed. His friends say his election would restore peace and harmony" to the state, and If they would only go bit further and be frank, they might include in their harmony" program the discredited Robinson machine. Find a man who thought Robinson ought to betray the trust of the people and violate his con- tract with the state, and you will un- earth a supporter of Judge Hays. If you want "peace and harmony through a establishment of the Robinson machine, then vote for Judge Hays, whom this element brought forth and are making war upon Brun- didge, because he made a manly and courageous fight against this breach of trust upon the part of the legisla- ture, who succumbed to the wiles and patronage promises of genial Joe and sent him to the "broader fields of use fulness" in the senate.
 What is the platform of Judge Hays? His genial personality, his bush-whacking campaign in refusing to meet his opponent upon the stump,

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW AND
 THE REFERENDUM

Tn holding that the bill passed by the last legislature, under which no license to sell liquor in Arkansas may be secured except on petition signed by majority of the adult white in- habitants, is not subject to the refer endum, Attorney General Moose says his conclusions are not based on au- thority which was lacking as a guide, but was founded on what he consid- CTS right and reason.
 .t is argued that this act is subject to the referendum, first, because the emergency clause does not contain the word immediate" which is in the constitutional formula. But Attorney General Moose says the Supreme Court has decided that it is not neces- sary to use the exact language of the constitution, provided it appears from the language used that the legislature found that an act was necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health and safety.
 It is argued further that as the emergency clause attached to this measure provides that the act shall take effect from and after December 31, 1913, there can be no present ne- cessity to be met by the act.
 As to this the attorney general says that immediate" in this case must be construed with reference to the con dition and circumstances of the liquor traffic, which it was intended to regu- late. He says further that at the time the act was passed the liquor dealers had paid large sums of money for licenses to do business during the year 1913 and it may be assumed that many of them had made contracts for the rent of the houses; that while the legislature had the power, if it did not have the moral right, to make the act effective at once, it postponed the taking effect of the measure until the expiration of the present licenses and from considerations of justice and fairness to the liquor dealers. The attorney general adds that it is true beyond all question that the last leg islature did not intend that the act should be referred to the voters; oth- erwise the emergency clause would not have been added at all

ARKANSAS STATE
 GUARD is SAFE

Little Rock, June 3.-The Arkan- sas National Guard is now safe until the next legislature meets and makes an appropriation for its maintenance, a thing which it failed to do at it's last session. The amount necessary to meet the expenses of the Guard has been raised, $1 900 being donated by
 the commercial organizations of Lit tie Rock, and the other $1 ,000 by pop ular subscriptions. In consideration for the donation from the commer- cial organizations Little Rock will re- ceive the annual encampment of the guard, which will take place in the early fall. The second $1,00O was raised by Adj. Gen. B. W. Green, Ma ior R. M. Pearson and Brig. Gen. w. K. Surridge. The balance of the mon ey required to maintain the guard is

 Upon the other hand, Mir.

SCHUMANN GOES TO
 HIS DEATH PRAYING

Hot Springs, June 3.-With a prayer on his lips that he might meet in heaven the wife he murdered last July, Clarence A. Schumann. was hanged at three o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. Deputy Sheriff Walter Wheatley pulled the lever and Schu- mann's body shot like bolt through the trap, fell eight feet, and his neck was broken. Schumann was pro- nounced dead 12 minutes later.
 Just before his execution the doom- ed man prayed on the scaffold and made a public statement, forgiving every enemy, and begging that his old mother find solace in his religion.

PARDONING CONVICTS.

A free use of the pardoning power by several governors in recent years has provoked public comment, and drawn much adverse criticism. This criticism has led Geo. w. Donaghey former governor of Arkansas, to write a clear and dispassionate article, with the title: "Why I Pardoned 396 Convicts!" In this utterance the gov 'ernor makes it known beyond the shadow of doubt why he was so lib- 'eral with pardons. He draws hor- rible picture of the cruelties, the shameless atrocities of the convict lease system of Arkansas. After look ing at this black and bloody scene of a modern Inferno, the reader will no longer wonder at the number of par 'dons, but at the paucity. It is amaz- ing that such horrors could exist in this land, which grows so virtuously angry over cruelties reported from the "Congo forests and the Putumayo rub Der regions.-Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.

THE FIGHT ON BRUNDIDGE.

So far as We have been able to see, the opposition to MT. Brundidge's can Fdidacy for governor have confined their attack on him to the issue that he was unable in his race against Sen ator Jeff Davis to carry his home county.
 If this is the only reason that can be urged against Mir. Brundidge's s election he is certainly in a fortunate position.
 When the facts are fully under stood the remarkable feature of that race was not that MT. Brundidge lost White county, but that he lacked only a hundred-odd votes of carrying it.
 In order to appreciate the situation one must be familiar with the political history of White county for number of years. With the rise of the Popu- list party to power in this state. White county stood in the front rank and at once became known as the leading cen

It is a curious coincidence that it will be Secretary William J. Bryan who must make the formal announce uent of the ratification of the seven teenth amendment of the federal con stiution. Ever since the day that he blazed forth with his famous Grown of Thorns" speech he has been an ad- vocate of this amendment. It was embodied in his free silver campaign. He has preached electing the senators by popular vote ever since he came before the people as national figure.
 At this time the opposition to the movement was pronounced. Gradual ly the people began to realize that perhaps Mir. Bryan was right, and one by one the states have dropped into line. until the amendment has recelv- ed a sufficient number of votes to make 1t law.
 It is in a way personal triumph for the secretary, and no man. more justly deserves the honor of making the formal announcement of the amendments ratification than Secre- tary Bryan.
 He has had but little to say of late, but has announced the fact that he proposes to signalize the victory Tn some unusual way.
 It is strange that so many years
 1T have been required to convince the people of the wisdom of electing sen- ators by popular vote. Every office holder should go before the people with his claims for public recognition. Our congressman are elected by pop ular vote, and just why the framers of the constitution did not make like provision for the election of senators has never been satisfactorily explain ed. When the great questions of the next congress come up the men of the senate who vote upon them will have to look to the people for election and not the legislative bodies of their re- spective states.
 It is time that official announce ment should be made, not that any va cancy in the senate remains to be fill ed. but to finally settle the vexed ques- tion. Secretary Bryan has no doubt been so absorbed with matters of state that he has delayed in taking the final step necessary before the new law can be enforced.
 President Wilson's hand will also be strengthened, whenever his pur- poses are patriotic, by having senate whose members are held in check by the vote of the people and not by the vote of state legislatures, which have been shown to be subject to corrup- Commercial Appeal.

yourself; and then you will drag the roads.
 Thirty hours work and S1.5O King drag will keep a mile of earth road in good condition for year.
 Easy is the way and broad is the path produced by the split-log drag, and it don't lead to destruction.
 "The man who drags a mile of road and drags it well, is as truly philan- thropist as the man who bestows It. braries
 "Soil, rain, travel, produce puddled earth. Puddled earth is waterproof, water-holding, and when kept oval and smooth, by the use of the drag, IS water-shedding.
 "The hard crusts in the center of the wagon roads of this country are their most valuable assets; and any man who breaks that crust into pieces, or who covers it with eight or lO inches of loose dirt, commits crime against the community"
 If there is one thing more than an other upon which Faulkner county needs an awakening, it is upon the subject of good roads. Lonoke, Ben ton and a number of other counties have undertaken road improvement in a systematic manner. Aside from reg ularly voting the road tax, Faulkner county has shown little or no public interest in good roads for many years.
 We have a large number of fine steel bridges across our streams. What we need now is good roads.
 Cannot the interest of our people be aroused and sentiment for better roads stimulated?
 The Log Cabin Democrat would suggest that the Conway Board of Trade and the county judge invite Mir. King to visit this county and offer suggestions at big county good roads convention. Wonderful Improvements can be made at slight cost by the use of road drags. All the people need IS to be shown, and MT. King can show then.
 The road overseers, too, would catch the enthusiasm and endeavor perhaps to do more and better work with the limited funds at their disposal. It might be a good idea to offer prizes to the overseers doing the best work or making the greatest improvement in the roads in their districts. l It is not too much to say that good roads will enhance the value of Faulk- ner county lands ten dollars for every one dollar they cost.

CORROBORAT|ON
OF INTEREST TO CONWAY
 READERS.

For months Conway citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by resi- dents of this locality. Would these prominent people rec ommend remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their state lments after years had elapsed if per sonal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement?
 The following statement should car ry conviction to the mind of every Conway reader:
 Mrs. Lula Stacy, 1723 E. Second St., Little Rock, Ark, says: "The public statement I gave some years ago, recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, was correct in every detail. This remedy cured me of kidney and blad- der trouble. I have been we'll ever since. My continued good health leads me to say that there is no other kidney medicine as good as Doan's Kidney Pills"

DEATH PENALTY OF
 GAYLORD AFFIRMED

Little Rock, June 3.-The death sentence inflicted on Boss Gaylord, a negro, by jury in the Conway cir cult court for the first degree murder of Herbert Williams, a rural mail car rier, on a country road in Conway county several months ago, was af- firmed by the supreme court yester- day.
 Gaylord struck Williams on the head with blunt instrument and the mail carrier died a month later from the effects of the wound at a Little Rock hospital. The negro's execution day will be fixed soon.
