THE /. & E. AMENDMENT.

Using the same caption, "A Dan- gerous Amendment and some of the same objections as appeared in a re- cent editorial in the Log Cabin Demo- crat, the Western Methodist joins this paper in condemning the amendment to the constitution which is being in- tiated by the State Federation of La bor. The Methodist says in part:
 'If this amendment is adopted then any county, city or town that wants saloons, horse racing or gambling can initiate a local law to that effect, and if the judge or mayor calls an elec- tion and it is adopted, then that law will be paramount to any state law that may be to the contrary. And not only will it be paramount to any state law, but the state legislature it. self can not repeal it, and the state supreme court can not pass upon it's constitutionality. Whatever benefits the State Federation of Labor may or may not receive from this amendment, it is quite certain that all of the pro- hibition liquor laws of our state will be nullified, and any county, city or town can have saloons that will take advantage of it's initiative rights and elect it's bill
 The same meeting of the State Fed eration of Labor that decided to ini- tiate this proposed amendment also adopted a resolution favoring the re- peal of the Going anti-liquor law. It would seem, therefore, that the infer ence that the amendment is a subtle effort to cripple or abolish the pres ent prohibitory laws is justifable

WHY THE FAVORITISM?

We are somewhat curious to know why the sporting editors of the two Little Rock daily newspapers regard athletic events at Philadelphia of so much greater importance than ath- letic events at Conway. The favori- tism for the Clark county seat, which has always been more or less evident, is strikingly demonstrated in both the Gazette and the Democrat during the present football season. On last Fri day games were played stimultane- ously at Conway and at Philadelphia. The Conway game decided the state collegiate championship, while the Ar kadelphia game was merely a local contest between two colleges outside of the Arkansas Athletic Association, which did not decide anything. And a comparison of the seasons record of the four colleges would indicate that the game at Conway was be- tween stronger teams than was that at Philadelphia. The Jonesboro "Ag- gies" had already defeated Tender
 son. Brown of Philadelphia. The Hen driX team had run up 49 to score against Southwestern, while Tender son was able to defeat the same team by only 2S to z. Yet the Gazette sent a staff man to report the Philadelphia game last Friday and both the Ga zette and the Democrat gave it three or four times as much space as was accorded to the Conway game.

MINISTER'S RETURN
 FROM CONFERENCE
PLEASED WITH SESSION
NORTH ARKANSAS NOW ONE OF CHURCHS GREATEST
 CONFERENCES.

The delegation of ministers who went from Conway to attend the an nual North Arkansas conference at batesville returned last night, all de- lighted with the work of the session. which marked the first assembly of the combined White River and Ar kansas conferences. The North Ar kansas, with about 300 ministers and over 59,000 church members, now ex ceeds in size the Little Rock, the other conference in Arkansas, and has be- come one of the most important in the entire Methodist Episcopal church, south.
 The edifice at Batesville in which the sessions were held is said to be the finest Methodist church in the entire state-a distinction which, however, it will hold only until the new church building at Conway is completed. The latter will be the next meeting place of the conference.
 Many changes were made in the ap- pointments and some surprises were found in the list of assignments an nounced by Bishop Morrison yester- day. An eleventh hour change was that of Rev. J. B. Stevenson, former presiding elder of the Fayetteville district, who was expected to be sent to Marianna and had telephoned Mrs. Stevenson at Conway yesterday morning that Marianna would be their new home. At the last moment, however, Bishop Morrison decided to give him the pastorate of the Bates vile church, and Rev. Stevenson is very proud of his new charge, which, as stated above, now has the finest building in the conference Rev. Stev- enson served two years at Batesville following his first pastorate at Con- way. He succeeded the late Rev. Jas. M. Hawley, who came to Conway as professor of English in Hendrix Col lege and pastor of the local church.
 pr. James Thomas, to whom was assigned the task of raising the $400,000 fund for Hendrix College, will probably make his home in Lit tie Rock, it was stated today The appointment carries no title with it except the position of president of the board of trustees which pr. Thomas has held since the resigna- tion of former Governor c. W. Don aghey. The fact that pr. Thomas has undertaken this great work is taken to mean that he feels assured of it's success, as no one ever knew him to fail in any movement that he has led. Under the conditions of the General Education Board, the college will have two years from January l., 1915, in which to raise S300,000 and thereby secure an additional gift of Sl00,000 from the Rockefeller fund.
 The list of presiding elders for the districts in the conferences is as fol- lows: Batesville, B. L. Milford j; Bonneville, James A. Anderson; Con way, R. E. L. Bearden; Fayetteville, G. G. Davidson; Fort Smith, William
 sherman; Helena, w. F, Evans 1; Jonesboro, w. l.. Oliver; Paragould,
