Nous attirons l'attention de nos
lecteurs a la proposition d'amende'
ment No 6, que nous publions SUI
la derniere page. Get amende-
ment a pour objet d'augmenter lie
terme d'ofice du JUICE de la Cour
DIES Preuves a quatre ans. Par un
empechement constitutional, la
legislature ma pu faire ce change
ment pour lie poste de JUICE des
Preuves. C'est une condition re-
grettable car de tous les postes du
comt6 l'ohce de JUICE est celui GU
un long terme b6n6fcie le plus lie
peuple. LIE terme d'ot6ce de tous
les JUICES de la Cour du district est
de six ans, ct celui de la Cour Mu-
nicipale de quatre ans. Pourquoi
lie ]uge de la Cour des preuves ne
sert-il que deux ans? C'est un 6tat
de chooses qui devrait etre corrige

To Bring Back Hilton pecial to Independent.

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-Deputy Sheriff J. Hawkins left Mon- day for Minden, La., with a re- quisition for s. J. Hilton, who is wanted in Little Rock on indict- ments charging him with grand larceny, false pretenses and wife abandonment. Hilton left here several months ago. It is al legged in the indictments that he defrauded a local bank of $500, a planter of $500, and $2,000 from his wife, who was a step daughter of the late Maj. Tillar, one of the wealthiest planters of this county.

to all citizens" He says, cor menting upon this:
 "The negro is a citizen. No one will deny his citizenship. Does the Going act grant to the white adult citizen any privilege or immunity which it withholdS. from the adult black citizens? Ii so, it attempts to do what the Constitution says shall not be done. Of course, if the General Assembly attempts to do what the Constitution says it shall not do, it's act is void, and no one is under obligation to obey it. The Constitution is the peoples at tempt to prevent unjust enact ments by the general assembly.
 The Going Act attempts to accomplish discrimination purely arbitrary. In terms it grants rights or privileges to white people which do not be- long upon the same terms to black people. If the general as sembly may exclude the negroes from participating in proceed ings for or against the issuance of saloon licenses, there could be no constitutional objection to it's placing the whole matter in con- trol of the negroes and exclud- ing the whites, in which case the Constitution would seem to furnish an excellent reason for holding the act void. The act draws the color line unmistaka- bly,.

 Opinion Public
Holding Going Act Unconstitu- tiOnal Because It Violates Constitutional Rights.
 of Negro.
Special to Independent.

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-Sever- al weeks ago an opinion, which Atty. Gen. Moose had written declaring the Going Liquor Act unconstitutional mysterious :. disappeared from his office. While the contest was not made public at this time, the fact that 1t had been written was not de- |nied by Judge Moose, and today the text of the purloined opinion was made public.
 Since that time," says Gen. Moose, q have been freely crit icised by some who favored the saloons, and by others who op- posed them, and by several newspapers in different parts of the state. Some ministers of the gospel have expressed sur- prise and regret that l had gone wrong. One newspaper said ed- itorially that disclosures grow ing out of the disappearance of the opinion placed me in a very unenviable attitude.
 That my desire to withhold the opinion, while applicants for license were engaged in a legal battle and spending their money in an affort to obtain their rights under an act which was held by me to be unconstitu- tional, stamped me as a trim mer,' and as one not fitted for the position of Attorney Gener- al.Other newspapers have ex- pressed their surprise that I did not give to the public reasons for an opinion of such interest to the state.
 Now that practically all of the cases pending in the county courts have been decided, except one or two, Judge Moose is making it public. He says, fur ther: Most of us have a mild contempt for a person who has not the courage of his convic- tions, although he may be other wise decent. It seems to me no enemy of the saloons could reas- onably censure me for giving out an opinion that an act of the legislature intended to promote

temperance was void because in conflict with the constitution. l had nothing to do with the preparation or passage of the act, and cannot justly be held responsible for it's provisions. l was asked, by one entitled to my opinion, whether or not the act was constitutional. The prohi- bitionists (and I am one of them) would have approved a reasonable opinion from me to the effect that the act was con- stitutional and valid, and would not have criticised me for giving it publicity while the cases were pending in the courts.
 ''No one is t,und by my opin- ions, not even myself, for l have changed and reversed seV- eral of them during the last year. My purpose now in giv- ing cut the opinion is that my friends who may be inclined to differ with me, may have the reasons which convinced me that the Act was in conflict with the Constitution. My motive in so doing is entirely selfish, if a de- sire to regain the good opinion of my friends is selfish"
 The opinion is quite lengthy. The attorney general says in part: If the act is unconsti- tutional, it is because it at tempts to grant privileges to white citizens which it with holds from negroes. The act au- thorizes white adult inhabitants of any city or town of the state to sign a petition to the county court for the issuance of license for saloons, and if the majority of the white people sign such pe- tition, the court is authorized to issue the license. Negroes and other people who are not white, are denied the right to sign such petitions, and are not even allowed to be counted as being opposed to them. They can have nothing to say under the act for or against the saloon White citizens may express themselves effectively on one side or the other, but blacks may not"
 The attorney general cites the constitution, which provides that '"The General Assembly shall not grant to any citizen or class of citizens privileges or inn munities which upon the same terms shall not equally belong
