She came from Alabama with her parents when she was only two years of age and has resided in Faulkner county ever since.

HAD A SPIRIT OF KlNSHlP
Chance Meeting About Decided New Yorker That All Women Really
 Are Sister,

Caught downtown umbrellaless on 6 the Broadway hotels for two hours, then. deciding to risk my best bonnet in the slightly slackened shower, l started across to 8 Sixth avenue shop to purchase an umbrella As I stood under the elevated getting what pro- tection I could and waiting for hold up in the traffic, a young girl stepped up beside me. With her skirt slit to the knee, her hair forming ear f1ops" down over her too pink cheeks, and blue, blue eyes peering through 2 fringe of flaxen yellow, above which was a bow three times as big as the hat it adorned, she was in every de- tail the latest cry of her type
 One glance and she seized me by the arm to draw me beneath her um- brella.
 Come in out of the rain, girlie," she said
 Even if my mind had not been on my very extravagant hat. l should have met half way her spirit of friend Illness. After thirty "girle" has rare and soothing sound, anyway.
 Chatting as to an old comrade, she sheltered me to my shop door and, with bright nod, passed on whence she had come-into the unknown.- New York Evening Post.

Which Leo?

In small town in the west of Scot land the town clerk, who was a bit of a character had the misfortune to lose his leg in railway accident
 As a mark of appreciation and es- teem for his long service, the council unanimously agreed to replace his loss with an artificial limb, which they did AS soon as he was sufficiently re- covered
 A few months afterwards the town clerk. who was generally known by his Christian name, Paul, was unfor. tunate enough to have his other leg fractured in trap accident
 Naturally the mishap became food for town gossip, and one old wife, in discussing the matter with a neighbor was overheard saying:
 Its gey bad business for Paul, puir man; but ist his ain leg or the leg that belangs to the toon that broken?"

1t really has no ground of complaint and should be satisfied with things as they are-at least will not seek to make things worse by contributing anything towards doubling the size of the legislature. The same ratio of de- creased vote in the fall election as compared with the spring primary ex- ists all over the state, so Craighead suffers nothing. On the other hand, it gains as does the remainder of the state in keeping down the number of legislators and it, and the whole state would be better off if the number sent to the capitol were cut in half. That would diminish in the same ratio the petty local legislation and the ill-con- sidered general legislation and tend to facilitate the dispatch of state busi- ness.-Fort Smith Times Record.
 The Tribune is misinformed and the Times Record falls into the same error as to the basis of representation in the general assembly of Arkansas The number of representatives in the lower. house does not depend upon the number of votes cast in the general election. The apportionment is fixed by Section l of Article of the con- stitution, the first two sentences of which read as follows:
 "The house of representatives shall consist of not less than 73 nor more than 100 members. Each county now
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-04-27

] organized shall always be entitled to i one representative, the remainder to be apportioned the several counties according to the number of adult male inhabitants, taking 2,000 as the ratio, until the number of representatives amounts to 100, when they shall not be further increased; but the ratio of representation shall, from time to time, be increased, as hereinafter pro- vided so that the number of repre- sentatives shall never exceed that number
 The constitution of 1874 itself ap- portioned 89 of the representatives
 and the first session of the general assembly held under the present con- stitution consisted of that number of members of the lower house. No re- apportionment of the representatives | has been made by the legislature since the act of April 1, 1891, although two | federal censuses have been taken since that time. The 1891 apportion- ment took up the full quota of 100 representatives, so that no county could be given an additional member unless the representation of some oth- CT county were reduced. But the re-
 lative population of the various coun- ties has changed considerably in the
 23 years which have elapsed, and l. was expected that the legislature of 1911 would pass reapportionment bill. Such bill was drafted, but on account of opposition from counties which would lose a representative it never became law.
 At present Faulkner and Craighead counties have one representative each while Conway county has two, yet i, both Faulkner and Craighead have a
 larger population of adult males than
 has Conway. According to the census of 1910, Faulkner had 5,172, Cralg- head 7,O99 and Conway 4,971 males of voting age. Washington county
 with. 8,489 adult males, has three rep resentatives, while Benton county
 with 231 more adult males, has only
 two representatives, and Mississippi
 county, with 429 more adult males
 than Washington, has only one rep.
 resentative.
 Under fair reapportionmen' Craighead and several other counties would doubtless nave their represen- tation in the lower house increased
 but they cannot do it upon the basic , of the vote they cast next September

MINISTERIAL RULE IN BOSTON
Writer Had Some Hard Things to Say About Clerical Bosses of a Time
 Long Since Gone.

The ministers ruled Boston in the good old days. They were the bosses. Literally. The big ministers were the colonial bosses; they steered the gov ernor and the general court, while the little ministers were the ward or town bosses; they made up the voters lists, swung" elections and ran" the town meetings. They themselves did not hold office. Like our modern political bosses, they ruled through others. And those of us who think that low down politicians" are the only men that take orders" will please observe that in this case those clerical bosses ruled through the gentry in office and the carefully selected good people in their congregations. Indeed, 1t seems to have been easier to corrupt that aristocracy into a theocracy than it is nowadays to corrupt a democracy into plutocracy.
 Some of the methods of the clergy were legitimate; others were not Their influence as preachers upon public opinion was that of leaders; and so long as they exercised it in the interest of the people of the colony as a whole, it was right and good But when they abused it to beat a governor who, feeling that their pun ishments were too cruel, attempted to use the discretion which was properly his; when they put off conventions to times and places where they could control them against public opinion; and when they let bribe be sent to the king of England-when they did these and other things, the clergy were playing the game" in what we would call a pretty practical fash ion And they were a practical lot of politicians. those godly ministers; pious. but cunning; good, but no "mollycoddles '-Lincoln Steffens ill the Metropolitan.

NOT 4 CAUSE FOR WORRY.

If the voters will turn out at the general election next September as strong as they did at the March pri- mary, Craighead county will obtain two representatives in the future. This county has about 4,800 taxpay- CTS, but after the primary interest lags and the people do not turn out at the general election. Everyone should make an effort to get the vote out this fall so Craighead can get two representatives in the general assem- bly, in the future. The vote that Gov. Hays receives in September will de- termine the question, and will also de- termine our representation in the state and district conventions.-Jones- boro Tribune.
