the intelligence and desire for good the
civic c-nsciencel Of the neglectfui or
thoughtless individual voter: some device
which shall make more Americans vote,
and which shall make all voters vote
more intelligently and conscientiously.
Frank Parsons touches this point in
discussing government ownership OF rail-
wavs. He approves OF government own
ership in New Zealand on the assumption
that the people rule there, but says that
ii could not be adopted to advantage I'm
the United States because not the people
but the interests rule here. He says that
in the United States the voting fraction
of the people Is boss-led and machine
controlled. and cannot safely be trusted
with ownership and management OF the
railroads. BY the initiative and referen-
DUN, his panacea. he would cause the
people to rule here. and with the initia-
tive and referendum he suggests that
Americans would be ready for govern
ment ownership of railroads. But the
direct rule of the people in New zealand
is without the initiative and full refer
endum. as We have seen. Evidently. then
these devices are not necessary to the
peoples rule. and their adoption is not a
guarantee that the people will in fact
rule.
The vital need is to uplift the cleo
tOrate. to stir up the people to the desire
to rule. and to rule intelligently and con-
scientiously. And when the people, in
spired by patriotic interest and civic
conscience. perform faithfully their civic
obligations. they will rule and rule right
ly: and they will rule with blessings
upon themselves and upon all men
whether they exercise their power by
ruling through representatives, legisla-
tive and judicial agents. wisely and con-
scientiously selected: or directly through
such devices as the initiative. referendum
and recall: whether. for instance. their
control of the great and powerful rail
road corporations is through an inter
state commerce commission and strin-
gent regulative legislation or through the
radical device of government ownership
and direct MANAGEMENT of the railroads.

Vital Evil in Non-votine Public.

The primary evil to be cured is in the
non-voting public, the mass of apathetic
neglectful citizens. and any remedy which
neglects this evil, and which instead of
squirting and inspiring the blamcworthy
public to penitence and reform infian,es
the peoples baseless and foolish pride,
leads not to cure, but to disaster.
For the people to rule the people must
vote; and to make their rule good the
people must not only vote, but must vote
inteiligcntly and honestly. The Initiative
and referendum substitute multiplicity
OF complicated votes for measures for a
few simple votes for men, Experience
teaches unmistakably that there are more
voters for men than for measures, and
that the fewer the elections and the SIM
pier and more direct the issue the greater
the percentage Of possible voters who
will vote. Il,
The initiative, referendum and recall
merely furnish the people additional OPP
portunittes. to vote: they do not in them
selves increase the actual voting Of the
people ON vital issues, and they do not
in themselves make the people Vote more
intelligently or more honestly. What is
needed Is something that shall increase
the civic interest and the public spirit,

COWBOYS AND INDIANS

And They Are Aided by Cow
girls, "Rubes," and ''Cos-

Dashing cowboys and cowgirls. fero-
cious Indians. bucking bronchos and all
the other features of wild west show
still had their old allure, and crowds

day of Miller Bros. & Arlington's .1O1

not enough regular seats and many people

From the time that the aggregation of
Indians, cowboys. Cossacks and cowgirls
swept around the arena in the first grand
review, to the grand finale, there was
always something going on. The usual

perate robbers, and rescued just in the

BILL WILL SETTLE
CAPITOL DISPUTE
CAL LOWELL GOES HOME
PAYMENT MADE CONTINGENT
UPON FINDING OF ARBI-
TRATION BOARD.

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-George w.
Caldwell, of the firm of Caldwell &
Drake, the former state capitol con-
tractors, after a stay of two weeks in
the city, left Friday afternoon for his
home in Indiana Before going he de-
clined to make any statement about
the bills introduced in the Senate Fri
day morning, one by Senator Jacob
son, offering to settle the dispute be-
tween the contractors and the state,
and making the members of the su-
preme court the board of arbitration,
and the other by Senator Moore, pro-
viding an appropriation for the COM
pletion of the capitol, but making the
expenditure of $4,000 contingent
upon the finding of the boad of arbi-
araS1on. If the state is successful the
work will be done. If Caldwell &
Drake win, they will be paid out of
.the S173, 900.
The Jacobson bill requires the con-
TRACTORS to accept the proposition
within sixty days and file bond of
$200.00O from which the state can col
Iect any sum of it if the board of ar
bitration decides the contractors are
indebted to the state.
1t is probable Caldwell & Drake
will accept the bill and file the bond,
which is a heavy one, but the con-
tractors have always been able to give
bond for any amount, and if the terms
suit them, they will have no difficulty
In doing this.

NO MORE WOMEN
NOTARIfS PUBLIC

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-The House

Carl Lee bill to provide that women

The Senate bill requiring collectors
to pay to the state treasury before the
final settlement state funds that may
be collected when requested by the
auditor, was passed by vote of 81
to 80.
The Senate bill, reducing the time
for appeals from II to months, was
indefinitely postponed.
An effort on the part of Mr.. Will
liams to indefinitely postpone the Sen
ate bill creating the state mining
board, failed, and the bill remained on

GOVERNOR SIGNS
PEN BOARD BILL
MUCH NEEDED MEASURE
TIME LIMIT WOULD HAVE SET
TIED ALL QUESTION OF
CONSTITUTIONALITY.

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-Gov. Robin
son has signed the bill creating pen
itentiay board and heartily endorses
the action of the lawmakers in thus
providing for this needed reform. He
suggests, however, that there has been
a serious oversight, since the consti-
tuition provides that
"The General Assembly shall have
no power to create any permanent
state office not expressly provided for
in this act
1t does not, however, prohibit the
creation Of a department or commits
sion for term of years, and the gov
ernor suggests that the bills be rein
troduced to make specific provision
that it shall be creaed for a term Of
years ending March 81, 1881. He says
this change will relieve all doubt as
to the constitutionality Of the meas
ure. He says; 1t is often quite diff
fcult to distinguish between a public
employment and public office. If
the duty is prescribed by contract the
employment is not an Office. The gen
eral trend of the authorities IS to the
effect that if the duty be continuing
one, defined by law, to the perform
ance of which an individual is APP
pointed, and the duty continues
without regard to the personnel Of the
individual, an office and not mere
employment results.

WILL, PERHAPS, EXTEND
LEGISLATIVE SESSION

embodied in a concurrent resolution

ion from Attorney General Moose as
to the time the G0-day session Of the
legislature begins, has not yet reach
ed that official It is not generally be-
lieved that the attorney general will
hold that the session begins on any
other day than January IS, the first
day of the session. 1t is the opinion
that the people meant 60-day SEES
sion and nothing else, and that the
action of the speaker and supreme
court in declaring the amendment le-
gally adopted had nothing to do with
the time it became effective. There is
a growing belief, however, that it will
be necessary to take advantage Of the
extra Is days permitted by the
amendment in order to pass the nee
essary appropriation bills.

DAVIS BILL Is
PASSED BY HOUSE
ONLY ENACTING CLAUSE
AN AMENDMENT ATTACHED
WHICH PRACTICALLY De
STROYS THE BILL.

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-The house
Thursday afternoon passed the Davis
bill. for the publicity Of referred and
initiated acts. But all that was left
Of the Davis bill, which provided for
the publication in pamphlets, was the
enacting clause, it having been
amended by Boggs by substituting a
provision that the acts shall be pub
lished in at least one newspaper in
each county for "a days, at one-third
the legal advertising rate, at least one
issue to be sent to each qualified vot-
er in the county. Representative
Moore of Newton, later in the day,
called up his bill, providing for the
publication in pamphlets, and it was
made a special order for Saturday
morning. The friends of the neWspa-
per men appear to be in the majority
in the house, and it, is predicted that
they will defeat the Moore bill.
The greater part OF the afternoon
was taken up with the Sebastian
county salary bill by Heartsill, and an
amendment was adopted, offered by
Mr.. Osborne of Sebastian that the
salaries proposed by Mr.. Heartsill
shall not become effective until Octo-
Der 81, 1914, in order to protect the
interests of the men now holding the
offices. The bill has been made spe-
cial order for Saturday morning, at
which time Mr.. Heartsill will con-
tinue his fight for the bill which has
been his chief legislative object for
the last six years.

ton of textbook commission.
