Miss Huntington was introduced to
society two years ago, but she has
always preferred outdoor life to in
door gayety, and in this she is in thor
ough sympathy with her future hus-
band. The two have motored a great
deal together, have ridden to hounds,
and have spent many days on the golf
links. She is described as a common
sense. practical young woman.

TAMMANY's HERcuLEAN FIGHT

Tammany had to fight all sorts and
conditions of people. First and fore
most and most formidable, it had to
fight the traitors within its ranks
the followers of those who had been
honored at its hands. 1t had to fight
the "old line" land oftimes 'old ~
ing') republicans-for a century its
arch enemy. 1t had to fight the bull
moose" faction, who were just as hos
tile to Tammany as the "old line" or
traditional republicans. 1t had to
fight the "mugwumps," who We're
neither fish, flesh nor fowl'-a set
of political non de scripts. II had to
fight those independent democrats
the better than thou" variety, de-
scribed by Christ as Pharisees. Then
it had to fight the World belong to

to no party" is the motto the World
has at it's masthead, and We find il

having ''giyen a new birth of freedom
to the democratic party" and at the
next knitting him by offering him
$4,000 to quit the lecture platform OF

also to fight the gang of "riff-raffs'
headed by Sulzer.
Furthermore, it had to face the
most appalling, villainous, lying
statements made by convicts behind
prison bars, and by others who ought
to be behind them.
With all this motley gang hurled
against it, We find that it recorded
the enormous sum of two hundred and
fifty thousand votes in its favor.
Even the World is compelled to
say:
1T is idle to attribute this vote TO
the underworld. 1t is idle to attribute
it to criminals and repeaters and
Tammany colonizers. Tammany's
vote, for the most part, represents
the vote of respectable citizens"
The World makes a confession to
the truth. A majority of those two
hundred and fifty thousand votes in
favor of the Tammany candidates
were cast by the most faithful and
loyal democrats, and the purest and
most upright men in that great, pro-
gressiye city-the men who helped to
make it the model city of the nations
The World confesses, that facing
the forces arrayed against it-who
seized upon any and all methods to
destroy it-that it could make such
showing in such campaign is not
a matter of exultation on the part of
its enemies.

WHAT EVER 4MRH KNOWS

There is word at''whieh all true

rises in arms at the. epithet.
And it is good thing to have it so.
The son who will not battle for the

From youth onward the male I'M

virtue. -,
1t is an entail, a heritage, impreg.

Every man knows what it is when
a woman goes wrong.
Every man knows the ultimate cost
of her sin. II.
Every man knows the hopelessness
of her tomorrows.
Every man knows the shame and
degradation of the aftermath; there
fore you cannot plead age nor ignor
ance in extenuation of your crime.
If you were old enough to wreck a
life you were old enough to realize
the direful consequences for the girl
Even in your earliest teens you saw
opprobrium heaped upon the Little
Sisters of Sin.
When you wrecked her life you
could not for one instant dismiss the
picture of her punishment.
You are unclean, defiled, cur and
a sneak.
And yet you wear the badge of re
spectability and dare to hold your
head high in a decent community.
You're a masquerader, an interlop
err in honorable society.
The stain is on you. The years
can't wipe it from your conscience
He'll must exist-your existence de
mands it.
There is mercy for her, but God
will never hear your prayers.
She was reckless. Caution only
comes through experience and it was
too late when knowledge came to her
You swore that you loved her, but
you lied, for men who love reverence
and protect. They do not degrade
Where is she tonight?
A million outcasts are sinking in
the shadows, pacing the payements
painted ghosts OF women who
were" nameless things scourged by
want--hungry for happiness.
She is there among them--a joyless
shell, price marked. and vice marked
without a friend. beyond the barriers
locked without the gate through
which none may return.
But you'll pay, too Her memory
will never fade.
Throughout the years conscience
viii gnaw at your heart and on the
day of judgment the master will
avenge
You can't replace-you can't re
trace-you can't erase the past. You
cannot expiate.
Plan as you will. rise as you may,
climb as high as ambition can drive
you, peace can never be your lot
And one supreme torture awaits
you-when you look into the faces OF
your children and know that you are
unworthy of their aspect.

FIRST PETITIONS
 RECEIVED TUESDAY

Little Rock, March 5-The first of the initiative petitions being circulated by the liquor interests. to submit to the people the ques- tion of local option amendment to the Constitution, was received by the Secretary of State Tues day. It came from Fayetteville and Winslow and contained 30 names. The effect of the propos- ed amendment, should it be adopt ed, would be to give communities the right of local option, against all further action of the General Assembly. While the act is not mentioned, it's effect would be to repeal the celebrated Senate Bill No. 11o, the Whiskey bill, which is generally considered as eoui- vlent to State wide prohibition.
 The new proposed amendment provides in part t-
 That hereafter the question as to whether intoxicating liquors shall be sold in any town or city Tn the State of Arkansas shall be determined by the votes of the qualified electors in such respec- tive towns or cities, and if a ma Jorlty of such qualified electors are in favor thereof, no act of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas, now in force or here after enacted, shall be operative to defeat the sale thereof" The bill further provided the method of such Submis sion.
 Only three amendments may be submitted at one time. The people have already submitted one, the bond amendment, by in- itative, and the Senate, by adopt ing the Kidder resolution Tues day afternoon, submitted a sec ond, prouiding for the creation of the office of heutenant-governor. The Senate may pass the Smith resolution providing for a county and city referendum and initia tive, or the Johnson resolution, providing for the placing of mem- berS of the Legislature on a sal ary. The House may pass the Senate equal suffrage amend ment, and any one of the three will effectually shut off the pro- posed local option amendment.
