JURISTS OF STATE
 EX0RCISED BY THE
 NEW ELECTION LAW

Little Rok, Aug. 1.-The story printed about the tangle brought about by the new consolidated cleo ton law has caused all sorts of com motion among the twenty circuit judges and the twelve chancellors of the state. They have been secure in the be lief that they would have no personal interest in the 1916 pri- maries, as their terms of office do not expire until 1918.
 But the new act has been construed by the best legal talent of the state, and all agree that it is perfectly plain.
 statutes must be construed by their language and not by the intent of the lawmakers" said one eminent authority. "No one believes the leg islature intended that a man should run for an office three years before he assumes it's duties, but if the act means what it says, there can be no question about it. And every judge. who wishes to succeed hiT,self had better go after the nomination next March or he will stand good chance to lose. It is preposterous, of course, but it is the law, and there is no power outside of the legislature that can cure the defect"
 If the law is susceptible of this construction, and for the sake of per- sonal safety it is not probable that any judge will assume the risk of ignoring it, it will require Associate Justice w. Y. Kirby, whose term ex- pires October 31, 1918, to run again in March, 1916. His nomination at that time would insure his tenure on the supreme bench until October 31, 1926. Judge Wood, whose term expires Oc- tober S1, 1916, will have to run again anyway.

BANKERS DISCUSS
 PLAN FOR AIDING
 ROAD TO BRIDGE
Conference Shows There Will Be Little Difficulty
 in Placing Scrip.

A conference of bankers was held at the chamber of commerce ycster- day, on the matter of financing the scrip to be issued by County Judge c. M. Philpot as part payment of the cost of building the proposed good road to the free bridge, arrangement; for which were virtually completed some days ago at conference of property-owners and Judge Philpot.
 Scrip to the value of $13,000 is to be financed by Pine Bluff bankers and business men, according to the agree ment reached, and the conference yes- terday discussed ways and means of carrying out the proposition. The several banks in the city will report within the next two or three days as to the amount of this scrip they will carry, after which a committee call upon the local business men. to place the remainder of the scrip.
 The sense of the conference yes serday was that there will be little CT no difficulty met in financing this scrip, because of the very great bene- fits to be achieved through the build- ing of good road to connect the city and the free bridge, particularly now that arrangements are well ad- yanced for the formation of two big road districts in the northern end of She county, both these latter roads also to connect with the bridge.
 The plan for financing the road from the bridge to Pine Bluff, as evolved by County Judge Philpot and accepted by the owners of property adjacent to the proposed road, is for the owners of property to pay half of the cost, one-fourth to be paid out ot the general road fund and one fourth paid by the issuance of scrip on road district No. 1, which is Pine Bluff.

ONLY FIVE FORMER
 GOVERNORS ALIVE
lRv Clio Harper.l

\
 Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The death of Ozra Hadley in Los Angeles, Cal, a few days ago, at the advanced age of 90 years, leaves only four surviving ex-governors of Arkansas. They are:
 J. P. Clarke, 1S94-1S96.
 Dan w. Jones, 1S96-190O, Little Rock.
 John s. Little, 1906, Greenwood.
 George w. Donaghey, 190S-l912, Little Rock.
 Joe T. Robinson. 1914, Lonoke.
 Aside from these there are num- Der of surviving acting governors who have served from one day to one year. Among those who have at var ious times temporarily occupied the governors chair, in the absence or disqualification of the governor and who are now living are: c. c. Hamby, Clay Sloan, J. c. Pinnix, J. c. South, M. P. HuddletOn, o. N, Killough, John P. Lee, John I. Moore, x. O. Pindall, Allen H. Hamilton James T. Robertson and w. c. Rod gers. Among the acting governors who have died in recent years are :: D. E. Barker, J. c. Tappan, R. l.. Lawrence and J. M. Martin.
 Ozra Hadley was remembered only by the older residents of the state, as he had not been resident of Lit tie Rock since 1881 at which time a term as postmaster of this city ex- pi1ed. His occupancy of the govern Or's chair dated back to 1871, when he succeeded Powell Clayton, who had just been elected to the United States senate. Therefore his connection with Arkansas politics dated back to a time before majority of those who are now doing the voting were born.
 The fact that there are so few sur viving ex-govenrors, just as that there are very few surviving ex-presi- dents, is due to the fact that as a rule man is mature, or even verg- ing onto the uncertain ground past middle age when he is elected gov ernor or president. Then, too. the duties, responsibilities and worries . of high executive office are so great tRat few can stand the strain. But there are very few who would be un- willing to undertake it.

HAS TWO SONS AND IA
 ; GRANDsONS AT FRONT

Bozen, Tyrol, August 11.--Joseph Campenrieder, farmer of Wangen- am-Ritten, enjoys the distinction of having two sons and fourteen grand sons at the front with the Austro Hungarian army. When Italy de- clared war against Austria the patri- Otic peasant bemoaned the fact that he could not join the colors, as he is 95 years old. He ordered his sons sons to volunteer at once, although they are past military age, one of them being 64 and the other 59 years old. The sons were first rejected but finally accepted as sharpshooters- Two of the. fourteen grandsons of the aged patriot have been killed in bat tie.

Though these are danced by high society and especially by the New York smart set, thus giving them sanction by people who make preten- tions to decency, they are on level with the 'hoochee-cooche' and other dances of the underworld; and the purpose is the same. i.e., to arouse sex feeling.
