The demon of heat who stalks about

light for parts unknown,
1t is not hard to tell where is the
heart of big Birmingham. Yesterday
morning was made an appeal for ice.
There was suffering and Illness in Bir-
mingham homes where there was no ice
to cool fevered bodies and where ba-
bies We're crying for milk that was
pure.
Last night the most needy had ice
and preparations were nearing COM
pletion by which all the poor families
will have ice tomorrow and all the rest
of the summer. Refrigerators are be-

 NOUNCE ENGINEER.

Little Rock, June 16.-It is strange how a short time will change the po- litical belief and utterances of poli- hcians. Less than a year ago polilti- cal ring leaders in Little Rock were shouting their heads off, telling of the greatness of the rising young politi- clan, Joe T. Robinson Less than six months ago they were raising the roof with their tumultuous shouts for Joe I. Robinson, the former friend of the deer pepul," who should go to the United States senate without chance for the aforesaid deer pepul" to say aye or nay.
 Now a change has come over these same politicians. They want the soft pedal placed on the very whispering of his name in connection with Arkan- sas politics. It was intimated that Joe I. Robinson, United States sena- tor, was coming back to Arkansas to stump the state for Geo. w. Hays and immediately there went up protest greater than the wailing of the chil- dren in the wilderness. They said it would "hurt Hays chances" They de- clared that Joe T. was keeping his hands strictly off the race and to those who happen still to have politi- cal friendship for the senator, and where they thought it would do no harm-in sort of sotto voice, it was added, ''so far as the public knows"
 It is amusing to those who study Arkansas politics, but who do not play the game, to see Judge Walls of Lon oke county, kinsman of Senator Rob inson, his candidate for the United States marshalship of the eastern dis trict, and his campaign manager for governor and the senate; T. P. Mur- rey, another of the campaign mana gers of the twin campaign, and ap- pointed by Governor Robinson as a Imember of the board of penitentiary commissioners; k. r. Allen, an advis- CT in the senatorial campaign and a candidate for United States marshal from the western district; State Sen ator Harry Harris, Robinson leader in the senate, and administration can didate for president pro tenn of that body; and other well known Robinson leaders, who are still known to be in the Robinson ranks, with their hands on the helm of the Hays campaign, and still claim that Robinson is not interesting himself in the interest of the candidate whose cause they es- Ipouse.
 The "deer pepuP' can see the inner workings.

forcing Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges to submit the bill to the voters Of the state under the initiative and referendum, as asked for by the liquor dealers.
 Those who are fighting the bill, and endeavoring to nave it left to the peo- pie, declare that if the supreme court sustains the decision of Judge Fulk of the second division of the Pulaski circuit court, it will destroy the pur- poses of the initiative and referen- dunn amendment. They claim that if the legislature can set a specific date for bill to become effective, and thus rob the people of the right of a refer endum on the bill, they have made the constitutional amendment a thing of no value. The supreme court has al- ready sustained the legality of the initiative and referendum, so the legal question involved is a pretty one.

THIS SENATOR AvERSE TO ARBITRATION

In stating his position regarding
the Panama Canal situation. Senator
James O'Gorman, Of New York. said:
THE canal is an American canal.
constructed by American engineers
through the liberal appropriation Of
funds by the American congress. and.
above all, it is constructed upon
American territory, and l am amazed
that anybody should have the hardi-
hood to contend that 1t should not be
administered by American law.
I'VE should not lose sight of the
fact that even II we were willing to
submit this domestic question to an
arbitral court it would be impossible
to find anywhere an impartial tri-
bunal to try 1t.
"Nominally, the case as 1t stands
is one between the United States and
Great Britain: as a matter Of fact.
the controversy raised by Great Brit
ain would be one between the ship
ping interests Of the United States
and the shipping of the entire world.
