OWEN ON INITIATIVE
AND REFERENDUM
System a Great Success Drives Out
Political Corruption and Gives
People Power.

Meridian, Miss, Oct. 27.-
United States Senator Robert L.
Owen. of Oklahoma, speaking last
night at Meridian declared in favor
of the initiative and referendum
and strongly urged the people OF
Mississippi to adopt it at the pend
ing election. Senator Owen is
President of the National Govern
ment League OF Washington, which
IS taking an active interest in the
campaign.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Peoples Rule
League, of Mississippi.
The Oklahoma Senator said that
no man could be a consistent mem.
Der of the Democratic party and be
opposed to the initiative and refer
endum. He pointed out that Pres
ident Wilson. William Jennings
Bryan and every progressive leader
whose work had placed the Demo-
cratic party IN control of the ma
tional government, were outspoken
advocates of direct legislation.
The initiative, he said. "gives
the people power to themselves to
enact the laws they want whenever
the legislature fails to obey their
will. The Referendum gives the
people the right and the power to
reject by their own votes any law
passed by the Legislature which
they do not want.
The Legislature is to be coz
graduated upon having submitted
the most effective amendment yet
prepared 10 any state. 1t is free

GETS S2.255.33 VERDICT
BrinsOn Wins Case by Invoking Anti
Bucket Shop Law Against
Commercial Bank.

At the conclusion of the cases OF
I. H Brinson and wife VS. assign
ees of the Commercial Bank and
Trust Co., yesterday afternoon
special Chancellor Luther Grice, OF
Monticello, decided in favor of the
complainant in the sum of $2255..
go.
As has been reported before the
complainant demanded the recovery
of about $4,000 90, a sum alleged to
have been borrowed from the bank
to be used in buying cotton futures,
and it was charged that the cashier
and asslgnees and assistant cashier
had full knowledge that Mr.. Brin-
son intended to use the money in
gambling in cotton futures The
defense tried to show that the bank
had no knowledge Of what use the
money was to be put to.
1t was shown that several of
these loans were barred by the
statute of Limitation but those not
so barred amounted to the total
amount of the decree.
This suit was brought under the
act of the Legislature of 1908, and
commonly known as the anti bucket
shop law. This act makes all deal
ers In cotton futures, or agents
or intermediates between buyers
and sellers of futures liable to
pay back all money collected from
any gambler in futures, such sums
to be recovered by either the
wife or children of the gambler.
This was an unusual case and
will no doubt be appealed to the
supreme court.
The petition of Mrs May r.
Witbeck vs. assignees of the Com
mercial Bank by agreement was
heard by Hon M. MCCULLOUGH.
Mrs Witbeek demanded something
like $3.50 90 and the decree allowed
her twelve dollars. The assignees
contended she was only entitled to
$l2 90 per week and paid her that
sum, it being shown that she had
not been paid for the last week she
worked
Her petition asked for pay at the
rate of SIS 90 per month as recon-
mended by the commissioners

The strongest Endorsement the
Municipal Bond Amendment has yet
received Mas been it's approval by the
Arkansas organization of the Far
mer's Union which met last week in
Little Rock. The delegates attending
this convention numbering about 200
and representing the farmers of every
county in the state, were unanimous
in supporting a resolution pledging
the vote of the rural communities in
favor of the Amendment The in
dorsement came unsolicited. Mayor
Charles +. Taylor of Little Rock APP
peared before the convention to bid
it welcome, and in this short address
he spoke of the assistance the far
mers might render the cities by sup
porting the bond amendment. The
delegates Immediately grasped the
Importance of the amendment to
them well knowing that the upbuildin
of the cities means the improvement
of the country. Delegates stated
that the residents of their vicinities
would support the measure unamin-
ously.

Have you laid away the money to
pay your taxes next April? You will
think about taxes at that time
and about public affairs that make
taxes. But are you familiar with the
measures you are to vote on in the
September election some of which
have direct bearing on taxes? Are
you discussing these measures with
your neighbors? Act No. 8, the pub
LEFTY measure will be voted on. 1t
was initiated by $4,000 voters, the
largest number that ever petitioned
for new law in Arkansas. 1t pro-
vides for public receipts and expen-
ditures to be published in the news
papers and cuts the legal rate of
printing in half. 1t will probably get
the biggest majority ever given a
popular measure in an Arkansas cleo
ton, because it will promote good
government and equalize taxes. You
ought to study it and be able to dis
cuss it. We have some copies of the
book entitled Turning on the Light"
which explains Act No. 8 and tells
what it is designed to accomplish in
the way of promoting efficiency and
economy in public affairs and in
taxes and promoting good

SOLDIER
PASSES AWAY
General Daniel E. SickIes Dies
at New York.

New York, May 4.-General Daniel
E. Sickles died at his home here.
His. wife was at his bedside at the
end
Mrs. Sickles, who had been es-
tranged from her husband for more
than a quarter of century, went to
the generals house when she was
informed he was dying and took
charge of the arrangements for his
care. She remained near his side
and watched by him until his death.
General Daniel Edgar Sickles was
the last of the great commanders who
fought the battle of Gettysburg. For
a decade he was fighter by profess
sion-all his life he was fighter by
nature.
The gruff old warrior, with one leg
shot away in battle, his massive head
resembling Bismarck's, was a pictur-
esque figure as he hobbled along on
crutches during the last half century
of his turbulent life.
