The Call to Practical Duties.
Let us look, If you please-and for
ommcnt only--at the three main
features Of the character of this
brother. "In the field" as brought out
by his language. and see If, to any
extent, the same is true Of US.

time, thy commandment" Surely,
this was commondaale, you say Yes,

signally failed Far from being de-
pendent on the fathers bounty he

with It az he pleased, and his only
hope Of freedom--as he saw twas
IN his escape from home and homo
influence. But was The other son any
better? True there was no open re
sentiment OF the fathers discipline.
But. after all IS said that can be said,
the service Of the brother 'in the
field" was not a dlstnterested service,
It was for hire alone, and tho wages
now seemed TO him altogether Insult
| ficient.
II IS surely this spirit which the
| Lord Christ seems here to remons-
trate with When the energy Of the
secuar world infeots us with an e1-
terror zeal. similar 20 It's own in kind,
and often equal IN degree. When gen

this service Of many years" Is re
earded rs a sufficient indication Of
spiritual vitality To all,such the call
to practical duties has come, but their
ears have been deaf TO the appeal OF
grace for n more interior life
Such devotion TO duty; such zeal In
practical affairs; such service "in the
field" Is but-as 81. Paul has said

God Wants Your Service.

lie can do without It. He has hired
servants enough TO do that, but only
one can love Him and manifest the

sons, give Me thine heart
One reason for this is-snd Il Is a
law Of our being that mans pre-
dominant passion gives color and tone
to his spiritual state. And when We
are so engrossed In mere service in
the field" to the disparagement ci
the primary obligations Of loving the
Father, It IS plain 20 see that the con-
trolling motive is low one, however
religious that service may appear e
be. And this lack of fillal spirit, on

4 DANGEROUS AMENDMENT.

The Arkansas Federation of Labor has drafted for initiation constitu- tional amendment to replace the ini- tiative and referendum amendment to the constitution, which was adopted in 1910. After a careful reading of the proposed amendment, copy of which was printed in Sundays Ar crat believes not only that the meas ure is unnecessary but also that it would be a dangerous one for the state to adopt.
 There are at least two good fea- lures in the proposed amendment. The one restricting the use of the so- called emergency cause to actual emergency measures and providing that the legislature cannot shut off the referendum except by specifically declaring wherein the emergency ex- ists and by adopting the act by a three-fourths vote of all the members elected, is change that it is proba- bly, needed in our organic law. The decisions of the supreme court hold ing that the legislature is it's own judge of an emergency, practically render the referendum nullity in this state, as almost every law enact ed carries with it an emergency clause, and the referendum powers of the people are abridged to whatever extent the legislature desires. Anoth- CT good feature of the proposed amendment is the one which would permit wider powers of initiative and referendum in municipal legislation.
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-11-17

But focal" and special legisla- ton are very general and indefinite terms, and, despite it's verbosity, the amendment does not tell us of what they consist Any sort of legislation applicable to a single county would be special" legislation, even if it made murder a misdemeanor or h censed open gambling. And We are not informed just how a county, for instance, may provide for the eXer- else of the initiative and referendum, as to it's local legislation. A county is but the creature of the general as- senbly and may be enlarged, divided or abolished by the legislature. 1t has no legislative body of it's own and if the proposed amendment were adopted we should be curious to know in just what manner and through what channels a county would be eX- pected to exercise these powers.
 Amendment No. 10 has now been a part of the constitution for nearly four years, and the enabling act put ting into effect has been in force since the general assembly of 1911. Both the amendment and the enabling act have been interpreted by numerous decisions of the supreme court and there is now little doubt or uncertain ty as to either of them There is, so far as we know, little demand for any substantial change in either the amendment or the act. We believe that it would be distinctly better to leave them as they are.

TO OPEN UP THE FLOOR

Delegations from the sixth and sew
enth wards are expected to appear
before the school board tomorrow
night at its nesting and ask that the
board take steps to erect building
on the property they purchased out
on the Main street extension. The
resid snts declare that the Carey
school is inadequate and is not mod
ern. and that new school should be
built to replace this.
1t is possible that the question OF
new schools all over the city will be
an issue at this board m aeting. The
school board has found it necessary
TO open the thru floor OF the Garfield
school. This floor was closed because
It was not considered wise to use 1t.
One of thu school directors stated
last night that he expected this &C.
ton would occasion considerable pro-
test from the parents in this district.
Crowded conditions are cause of the
move
As matter OF fact this direc-
tor declared, there are four build
ings in the city which are practically
a menace to the community, and / for
one am holding my breath In the
hopss that we will not face a dis.
aster such as many cities have been
called upon to face. We have four
schools. the Garfield, Wells, Carey
and Terrence which practically are
I fire traps. There are two on the
north side and two on the south side
The only sane thing TO do in my es
timation is to replace these with
modern buildings
II there should be enough pressure
/ brought to bear. It is believed b.
some OF the members OF the board
I that the agitation for two new build.
ings. one on the north side and one
on the south side win be started, anG
that bond issues might pass at an
election.
