green-horn would expect to put such
scheme across, on Senator Williams.
The one thing for which he has plead
and stood is the elimination, so far as
possible, of partisan feeling in handl-
ing the adjustment of the County Gov
eminent. The Cecil members of the
House of Delegates have shown very
much of the same spirit and desire,
and though Mr.. Williams is Republi-
can and they are all Democrats, there
has been manifested no desire on his
part OF theirs to play for purely par
tisan ends in any local legislation
which they have been called on to
consider together. The Bill brought
to Annapolis last week by the gentle
men named above is the first time par
tisan or fractional politics has raised
its ugly head in the consideration of
our purely local matters.
Had these gentlemen wanted to
show broadminded desire to really
secure the road-supervisor system,
they would have adopted different
method. Mr.. Williams compiimented
them ION their nerve" in asking him. a
Republican Senator, to legislate into
Office bunch of Democrats Of a parti-
SuIdl ldS IlOll. anu IlleS ISll ioi VIC
lead. They very properly suggested
to Mr.. Williams that the Republicans
did not elect him. "True," said Mr..
Williams. "and neither did you. You
fought me as you had a perfect right
to do. But | licked you, and | licked
you because lots of people in this
county We're sick of your partisan, fac
tional fights and voted for me because
they believed | would keep clear of
such stuff. And now you come and ask
me to lend myself TO a scheme which
is avowedly animated by the purpose
of getting back at a Board of Com
missioners which you claim is against
your political faction. | don't know
whether it is or not-and | don't care.
| am not down here to play anybody's
factional politics and you are pretty
green bunch to think | am"
That position may not suit the little
fellows who are up to their necks in
petty fractional politics, but we believe
it is the position which suits the great
majority of good thinking people of
this county.
And it suits the Senator from this
county-which is somewhat to the
point just now.

in a discussion with them as to the
necessity of such expenditure. This
seems to us the eminently wise and
right way to proceed. We are sure it
would be the most satisfactory course
in the end And, much as we regret
to differ from our neighbors and
friends, we cannot consent to any
other course, unless it is adopted over
our protest and opposition. We are
sorry for this county, if it has made
mistake in sending the Editor of
this paper to the State Senate. But
he is there, and so long as he is there,
he must be guided in his conduct by
what seems to him wise and right.

Adoption Cures All Defects.

AMOpttUKi lures ALI OeIcCEo,
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28.-Attor-
ney General Moose holds that if
an act under the [. & r. be SUBJ
mitted to the people, and adopt
ed by them their adoption cures
all defects, irregularities or
frauds in the manner of it's sub
mission. It may of course be at
tackled upon the constitutional
ity of its provisions, but it can
not be questioned because of any
alleged fault in it's submission.
The record is closed on that SUBJ
ject.
This question arose over a re-
quest of those who are opposing
the initiation of the Miners
Qualification Act and the Bank
Guaranty Act, that Attorney
General Moose permit them to
bring the suit for injunction in
the names of individuals, and
they asked that the name of the
state might be substituted for
such persons.
AT first I hesitated about al
lowing the use of, the name of
the state said Attorney Gener-
al Moose, because / thought if
the proceeding were not regular
they could be tested after the
election as well as before. Then,
again the state had already pub
lished the proposed acts at an
expense of about SIS, 900, and
| thought the people should
have chance to vote on
them. But after ample authori-
ties had been submitted by Col.
Ira d. Oglesby of Fort Smith for
the mining operators and w. B.
Smith of Little Rock for the
bankers, | agreed to permit the
use of the name of the state.
1t is clear that the method of
submission, and the sufficiency
of the petitions must be attack
ed before the election, or not at
all. And certainly any consid-
cradle number of citizens, like
the bankers or the mining oper-
ators, are entitled to all proper
aid in the protection of their in
tefests."

FRENCH CONFIDENT.
Profess to Relieve Germans are
About to Retire From Belgium.

Paris, Oct. 22-The furious general
attacks launched by the Germans on
both wings OF the allies front today
ragged with unabated energy by the
most violent efforts of the invaders
We're futile.
The general character of the attack
has led certain officials of the war
office to believe that the renewed ac-
tivity Of the invaders is a screen to
shield an early retiring movement. Tt
has been noted that the enemy has
directed its early assaults with great
violence but that attacks have not
been repeated with the energy char
acterlzing those recently made.
This is taken to mean that the
move is not offensive, but that actu-
ally the enemy is preparing to estab-
fish itself on a new line.
Both the Belgian and the Franco
British lines held firm today accord
ing TO the midnight bulletin issued
from Bordeaux and given out by
