Good Advice.

Mr.. Lovelor was one of those peo- pie who on every possible occasion consulted his solicitor. Nothing pleased him more than to go to law. The lawyers regarded him an an invaluable asset.
 "I have been grossly insulted" he exclaimed, rushing into the office of his solicitor for the seventh time in three days.
 Tn what way?" asked the solic- ftOr, somewhat wearily.
 Ny next door neighbor has de- clared he will pull my nose the next time he meets me. What shall I da about it?"

LOCAL LEGISLATION GONE MAD.

Despite an agitation that has gone on for years, the General As sembly is keeping up, if not eX- ceeding all past records in the amount of strictly local legislation. In fact, a very large part of the time of both bodies is taken up with this class of work.
 The last sample of this as relat- ing directly to Mena, is the bill of fered by Senator Lundy flatly pro- hibiting the sale or giving away of liquor of any sort, from whiskey to native wine, within five miles of the high school in Mena.
 It is not just easy to understand MT. Lundy's purpose. He has just taken a leading part in enacting law which is universally conceded to be the equivalent to statewide prohibition-a bill which complete ly overrides the legal voter and yet leaves the white people, men and women, the rights of petition. But this last bill even takes away the latter right, from Mena only.
 It is not even approximately a probability that Mena would ever license saloons under the terms of the statewide measure, and it is not purposed to advocate or apolO- gize for them, but it is certainly not in accord with the spirit of the times when our representatives take it upon themselves to go to Little Rock and enact measures to take away the last Vestige of the right to control our local affairs by vote and petition. In so doing, they simply are allowing themselves to go to extremes, and such legisla- tion is indeed local legislation gone mad.
 It may be figured by some that, Eby the emergency clause" so free /. ly attached to nearly all measures, theginitiative and referendum can be -aanplled and the powers intend- ed to thus be held by the people made sv6id, but this plan and such restrietiVe q legislation as contem- plated by Mr. Lundy's Mena bill 3 will hudyTeceive approval by the people affected.

Capital 1rtter Stare Politics, dS Seen bg Senator
 E. J Lundy

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-The leglSla- ture of last week was Busy one, but as usual, the large number ot bills were local ones, although not much time was consumed in their passage.
 The hardest fight came up over the repeal of the Fourche Drainage District in the senate and the re- peal of the Mine Run law and the Greenhouse bill in the house.
 The Fourche Drainage District act was repealed, so far as the sen ate is concerned. This was located in Pulaski county and the senators from that county were on opposite sides of the controversy, Senator Miles being for the repeal of the act and Senator Jacobson being against the repeal.
 The Mine Run law was repealed by the house, This is the law which compels the mine operators to contract for the mining of coal on mine run basis. The constltu- tionality of the law has been upheld by the Supreme court of the United States.
 The Greenhouse bill was one pro- viding that the laws and constitu- tiOnal amendments referred and in- itiated should be printed in pamph- let form and sent out by the secre- tary of state. The bill was bitterly fought by the newspapers, and 1t met an ignominious death in the house, being stabbed in the back by its champion under a misapprehen- sion as to parliamentary usage.
 The sensation of the week was the announcement of Senator Clyde Going of Poinsett county that he had been indicted as an accessory before and after the fact of the de- falcatiOn of Treasurer Hammett of Cross county. He announced his intention of retiring from the sen ate until after his trial, but after resolution was passed by unani- nous vote of the senate reCiting the confidence of the senate and asking him to reconsider his retirement, he acceded to the request, and will remain until his trial on February 26.
 The next week will witness two or three tugs of war, the hardest fought one probably being the bill to repeal the Pine Bluff bridge dis trict. It is thought that this will be repealed by about the same vote as the Fourche Drainage District act. There are a number of bills pro- viding for the creation of highway districts, one of which is for a high way from Little Rock to Ft. Smith and one from Little Rock to TeXar- kama. Many of the legislators have expressed themselves as opposed 10 all of these unless there is a clause for it's reference to the land owners who will have to pay the tax.
 Appropriation bills will be the main subjects under consideration until the close of the session. as none have been passed. The differ ant departments are asking for more appropriations than they will be able 10 get by many thousands.
 The revision of the financial sys- tenn, which was the main thing to be considered by the legislature. is nowhere in sight and no bill has been introduced for this relief.
 The session has been busy one and had local legislation been ta- booed much more could have been
