Go to Church Day.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-The GO to Church" Sunday move ment has struck Little Rock and next Sunday every church in Little Rock expects to be fill ed with hundreds of people who have long since gotten out of the habit of sitting quietly in a pew for an hour or more on the Sabbath morning.
 Especial sermons will be preached in all churches, the pa- pers are booming the proposi- tion, and particular stress is being placed upon hardened old sinners who have forgotten what they learned at mothers knee, to get them again into the fold. As this movement has resulted in record-breaking attendances in other cities, it will no doubt do as we'll in Little Rock as i'll any of them.

Judge Moose continues:
 Tt might be considered that the candidate who insists on run ring without filing the pledge at least thirty days before the primary has violated the act, in which case he would be liable to it's penalty. The Act, however, puts no duties upon the Secre- tary of State, nor the county clerk, nor the city clerk, and if they accepted the pledges within 30 days, they would not be guilty of any violation of the law"

Longer Duck
 Season Wanted
But No Hope For Same This Year, Says Inspector
 Visart,
Special to Independent.

lopeCldl lo independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 17.-Sports-
 men of the state are seeking to
 secure an amendment to the
 regulations of the federal gov ernment regarding the hunting of migratory birds, especially ducks. Under the regulations now being enforced, the open season for ducks is from Oct. l to Jan. 15, and the sportsmen desire to have it extended to Feb. 15 at least. The proposi- tion has been taken up with the members of congress from this state, and they have been ad- vised that no change can be made that would help the hunt CTS any this year. All changes in the regulations must be pub lished for three months in the territory affected, and then sign ed by the president, before they become effective.
 MT. E. V. Visart, the federal game inspector, who looks es- pecially after migratory birds, says that the law is being quite generally observed in the state. Very little unlawful shooting is reported, and all cases of viola tion are promptly investigated.
 But some reports have re- gently been sent out," said Mir. Visart, "that will get good men into trouble. Only last week some one telephoned to Stutt- gart that the federal law had been declared invalid, and that it was not enforced any more. 1 heard of it and went to Stutt- gart, where I found a number of men preparing to go out shoot ing. I advised that that the re- port was unfounded, and there hv saved them from law viola tion.
 1 think the quail season is too long. It was formerly Nov ember 1 to February 15, but it is now November l to March l. The month of November should be taken out of the open season by all means, for it is during that month that the second crop of quails is most in need of the parent bird. I think that three months, December, January and February, would be a more de- sirable open season. l do not a. gree with the theory advanced by some that there should be a five year closed season, for that would exterminate Bob White. Many hunters who will observe a reasonable closed season, would consider that unreasona- |ble and would shoot the birds indiscriminately. There should also be a bag limit. The counties of Columbia, Lafayette, Grant and Carroll have a special law, making the closed season Feb. 1 to Dec. 10, with a bag limit of | ten birds.

ecial to Independent.

Bryan Praises Clarke. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 17.-This time it is William Jennings Bry- an, the idol of Arkansas Demo- cracy who rises to refu,e the claims that Senator James P. Clarke is out of harmony with the Democratic administration. Secretary of State Bryan is the statesman whom politicians have claimed Senator Clarke was particularly out of harmony with, and his strong indorse- ment of Senator Clarke, and all of his official actions, should for all time silence the baseless as- sertions of Senator Clarke's po- litical enemies.
 The following letter speaks for itself:
 Department of State,
 Washington, D. C.,
 February 10, 1914. MT. John Stafford,
 Springdale, Ark.
 My Dear Sir:
 There is no ground for the statement that Senator Clarke is either out of harmony with the Administration and antag- onistic to me personally. He has at all times supported President Wilson in the fight for tariff re- form and currency legislation, and I have found him a useful co-laborer in the matters I have taken before the Foreign Rela- tions Committee, of which he is a prominent member. l am glad to say these words in jus tice to Senator Clarke. You may quote them if you deem worth while to answer the charges to which you refer.
 Yours very truly,
 w. J. Bryan.
 This letter came in response to one from MT. Stafford, who is the publisher of the Springdale News. MT. Stafford wrote to Secretary of State Bryan, eX- plaining that reports were be- ing circulated. over Arkansas to the effect that Senator Clarke was out of harmony with the 2 ministration, and particularly antagonistic to Secretary Bryan, In writing the letter MT. Staff ford explained that it was be- ing done wholly upon the initia- tive of the writer, for he knew that Senator Clarke would rath- CT suffer defeat than ask such a thing for himself.
 J. w. Kern, Democratic Lead CT of the Senate has also issued a public statement regarding the value of Senator Clarke to the party, and President Wilson has intimated that he will go strong CT than any of them, if any one in Arkansas wants to know the high esteem in which he holds Senator Clarke.
 The letter from Secretary of State Bryan bears several cor rections in his large, scrawling handwriting, showing that he gave the matter close personal attention, thus demonstrating the interest he takes in matters pertaining to Senator Clarke.
