FUTRELL WOULD
REMAIN ON FLOOR
Erstwhile Acting Governor
Believes He Can Best
Serve There.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-'I am de-
voting my time just now to the prac-
tice of law" was the answer given
by Senator J. M. Futrell to a query
put to him by the correspondent OF
The Graphic, while in Paragould re-
Gently. He was studiously perus'ns
law book when the correspondent
broke in upon his quest for legal in
formation and shot the question as
to whether Or not he would be caii.
didate for governor at him. The man
who made SO good as acting governor
grinned until he almost closed his
eyes, pulled his feet down off the
table and came back with the blunt
answer.
Twill you be a candidate for presi-
dent Of the senate?' was next asked
him.
81 have no such Intentions" was
the immediate reply. Il consider
that the position of presiding officer
hampers a member of the senate in
the discharge of his duty to his con-
stituents. He may. of course, use his
authority to make arbitrary rulings
which will make him in many cases
powerful but l believe that | will do
better for myself and the people OF

ate, and there it is my intention to

Elaboration for Peace.

Rome, via London, Aug. 19.-The
pope has addressed the following eX-
hortation to the Catholics of the
world:
cat this moment, when nearly the
whole of Europe is being dragged in
to the vortex of most terrible war,
with it's present dangers and miser-
les and the consequences to follow,
the very thought Of which must
strike every one with grief and hor-
ror, we, whose care is the life and
welfare of so many citizens and pea
pies, cannot but be deeply moved and
our heart wrung with the bitterest
sorrow
''And in the midst of this universal
confusion and peril, we feel and
know that both fatherly love and
apostolic ministry demand of us that
we should, with all earnestness. turn
the thoughts of Christendom thither
whence cometh help'-to Christ, the
Prince of Peace and the most power
full mediator between God and man.
1--WE charge, therefore, the Cath
olcs of the whole world, to approach
the Throne of Grace and mercy, each
and all of them, and more especially
the clergy, whose duty furthermore it
will be to make in every parish, as
their bishops shall direct, public sup
plication so that the merciful God
may, as it were, be wearied with the
prayers of His children and speedily
remove the evil causes of war, give
to them who rule to think the
thoughts of peace and not Of afflic-
tiOn'

NOMINEES QUALIFICATIONS.
Election Commissioners Cannot Pass
Upon Then, Says Moose.

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-In response
to query by Election Commissioner
D. NJ. Allen of Washington county,
Attorney General Moose has advised
him that election commissioners have
no authority to judge a nominees
qualifications to hold office. He had
been asked If nominee had failed
to pay his poll tax, whether the COM
missioners should certify out his
nomination. Judge Moose holds that
that is cearly judicial question with
which the commissioners have nothing
to do: they should certify the nomi-
nation, and let the courts determine
his qualifications.
