no reason except just the woman's.
These men have stolen woman's pre-
rogative, and say they feel intuitively
that the ballot cannot be good for
them. Most Of us have encountered
frequently the man who says: Women

they want il? There is no reason why

We hope at least to be able to prove

pay high rates OF interest for funds to
carry on public improvements. Under
the terms OF proposed Amendment
No. "A mo bouds or other interest.
bearing evidences of Indebtedness is'

amendment shall ever be sold at less

Of the first class they shall not bear
greater rate OF interest than five per

MUM" It is we'll known fact that
many cities and towns in Arkansas
have been forced to pay not five per
cent, or six per cent, but eight per
cent per annum, and more, for short
time Accommodations. The alternative
has been placed before the officials OF
such cities and towns, either TO pay
such rates of interest or to permit

A Dutch despatch says terrific
oannonading was heard this morning
from the direction Of Tongres,
north Of Liege. 1t was reported
yesterday taat two divisions of Ger.
man calvery with artillery had
arrived there.
Belgium was today again the
scene Of fighting, IN which Belgian
and French outpOs,s contended with
the Germans.
The German commander at LIege
denies the loss of 90, 600 men IN hls
effort to take the forts there. He
says the forts will be taken without
the loss Of a man as soon as German
heavy artillery arrives. He asserts
that "the Belgian force Is humeri-
cally superior to ours" lie init
mates that the assaults were stopped
by the emperor's orders to avoidIthe
needless sacrifice OF life.
On the subject Of Liege, the
French foreign minister declares
all the surrounding forts are intact,
and that only small force of Ger
mans entered the town itself under
cover of darkness. 1t has been
pointed out previously that the de-
feet of the Liege forts was the ina

CHANCfRY COURT
KNOCKS OUT TWO ACTS
Secretary OF State fniOined from
PLACING Bank Guarantee and Min
inc Board Acts on Ballot

LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 1.-THE
proposed bank depositors' guaranty
act, initiated by the labor organiza.
tlons of the state, received its death
blow in the Pulaski Chanoery Court
this afternoon when Chancellor J +.
4. Martineau granted an injunction
to prevent Secretary of State Hodg-
es from having the proposition
placed on official ballot to be used
IN the general election in\ Septem-
ber. The chancellor held that the
petitions initiating the guaranty act
should be rejected because the evi.
dence showed that they were frau
dulent in their character and that
such petitions were not properly
verified and did not have the names
or the signers written on the back
Of the petitions.
1t also held that where the rigners
did not give a residence, post Office
or voting precinct DISTINCTION, the
name was illegal and should be ex'
cluded.
The court further held that under
the constitution Of the State of Ark
ansa- a qualified eleclor must, in
addition to possessing the qualltica.
tion of the residence, also have paid
his poll tax for the year next pre-.
ceding the time of signing the petit
tion, and that only qualified voters
should sign the petition.
Judge Martineau found that there
were approximately 5000 illegal
siguers on the petition.
Judge Martineau also disposed of
the proposed initiative act creating
a state mining board by enjolning
the secretary of state from placing
the propo osed act on the official bal
lot. The reasons assigned were
the same as handed down in the
bank guaranty act decision.
