HOPE PAPER USES
 BIBLE AS SERIAL
Having Completed Greatest Story Ever Written, Fol
 som Plans Repetition.

Little Rock, June 12.-Col. w. w. Folsom, the veteran editor of the Hope Gazette, recently completed an under taking that probably stands as unique in the history of journalism.
 He has published the entire New tes- lament as serial, having commenced it nearly three years ago, and publish ed one chapter each week. At first it was his intention to print only the four Gospels, but so popular did it be- come that he kept on until he had published the entire testament. Now he contempla ses re-publishing 1t. be- ginning with the first chapter of Matthew.
 Colonel Folsom says that he has had many testimonials from readers that they have, read more of the Bible, as published in his paper, than they ever had before, and he has many evidences to prove to- his own satisfaction that il has been a great success.

PeOnles' Rights JeODardiZed.

"The passage of this bill is one of the most unfortunate legislative acts that has ever happened in the history of this country. The future right, further interest and the future pros- perity of more than 100 million people are being jeopardized.
 q regard the amendment as dec laraton by the senate of the prin- ciples I believe in, but recognize that declaration is not made effective so al, with provision exempting Amerl- can people. The present amendment is attached to the bill merely to satis- fly the conscience and the fears or certain gentlemen who are not willing to go boldly before the American peo- pie and accomplish the results that the membership of this house was go- ing to accomplish without apology.
 Years Fight Ends.
 Washington, June 12.-The quesaon of making the Panama canal free to American vessels was brought to the front when the house, on May 23, 1912, incorporated in the act provld- ing for the establishment Of CIVIL government in the canal zone, pro vision authorizing the president to charge tolls to vessels using the can al, with proviso exempting Ameri- can coastwise vessels from such charges. President Taft, in mes- sage to congress, had urged the ex. emption. The bill had been reported to the house providing tolls for all vessels but the exemption provision was adopted as an amendment. rms amendment was in the bill as it wen' to the senate.
 Before the bill passed the senate Great Britain, on July Il, 1912, filed formal protest against the proposed exemption. The note transmitted tt the state department conended:
 The British government thlnKs that to allow American vessels to pass through the canal without the pay ment of tolls would be to violate the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, whether thf tolls are not collected or whether T. collected they are retnnded. As tt coastwise trade, thf British govern ment thinks it woGld be difficult t' frame provision (which would no

 BONDS BY CITIES
Mayor Bloom and Other Executives Called to
 Conference.

Little Rock, June 12-Notices for a statewide conference in behalf of the propo1ed constitutional amendment No. IA. or the so-called bond amend ment, to be held at the Little Rock city hall Wednesday morning, June "A, at 10 o'clock, this afternoon were mail- ed from the office of Mayor Charles B. Taylor to the officials of all cities and towns of the state and the various commercial organizations in the sever- al cities and towns. Mayor Taylor is one of committee of nine mayors ap- lpoin. d by the Arkansas association of city officials to prepare for the meet ing and issue the call. The other mayors on the committee are H. c. Read of Fort Smith. Simon Bloom of Pine Bluff, J. w. McClendon of Hot Springs. J. P. Kline of Texarkana, Hugh Martin of Helena. Thomas Bur- ress of Jonesboro, J. P. Faucette of Argenta and H. M. Jackson of Para gould. The call requests representa- lives from e2ch city and commercial be present at the meet ing.
 Voted Once Before.
 An amendment similar to the pro- posed amendment was submitted to- the voters at the 1912 election and car ried by a majority of 23,000, but la- ter was declared imperative by the supreme court because of the fact that five amendments had been sub-
 m1tted and voted upon at the same time, when the state statutes limit the number to three. Two of the amendments voted upon and carried, including the bond amendment, were thrown out.
 The present proposed amendment. in the minds of it's friends, is much stronger ard better restricted bill Fand contains more safeguards for the people. In the election in 1912, sixty one of the seventy-five counties gave majorities for the amendment, and so far little or no antagonism has been encountered by the constituents of the amendment No. IA. It's friends are hopeful and believe that tah amend- nent will be carried by large majori- .ies in the election next September.
