Season of Novelties.
In season of many novelties in straw
braids and hat materials, the sketch to-
day shows still a new one. Lewis has
developed the popular sailor in natural
colored straws not woven. or braided. but
laid fiat across brm and crown. with an
airy space between the strands Light
ness is certainly achieved, but not very
much protection from the glare.
The collar now with this original hat is
an example of how well the big, plain,
eton shape and the sailor go together.
These collars are growing larger and
larger. and whittier and whittier. They un-
doubtedly add note of charming fresh
ness to a costume. but they are appropri-
ate only to the youthful, and had best
be left. with SO many of the seasons fash

COINCIDE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC |SIDfAD
DEALERS READY TO- QUIT
WILL MAKE NO EFFORT TO RE.
PEAL OR CONTEST STATE
WIDE LAW.

Little Rock, Dec. Wholesale
liquor dealers in Little Rock are doing
a land office business in disposing of
their stocks preparing to retire from
business on January l. Several of
the dealers have reduced the price on
all kinds of liquor fully so per cent,
and large wagon loads of liquors can
be seen any time during the day pass
ing through the streets en- route to
the home of purchasers.
The proprietor of the largest liquor
house in Little Rock stated today that
they sold more than 400 cases of
whiskey to private consumers yester-
day, and almost as many cases of
different kinds of wine.
Every indication points to strict
enforcement of the statewide prohibit
ton law in Little Rock. Men who
have engaged in the business all their
Ices are about ready to retire. Some
are embarking in other business,
while others will remove to st. Louis,
Cincinnati and other cities. All con-
cede that the saloon has gone from
Arkansas to stay, and no effort what
ever will be made to repeal the state
wide prohibition act at the election to
be held next year.
There was talk sometime ago that
the liquor men would initiate the re-
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1915-12-23

peal of the law at the next general
election, but this step has been aband-
oned altogether. The liquor men
claimed that if they did secure the
repeal of the law by the popular vote
of the people, the legislature would
come along two months hence and re-
enact the law. They say they have
ample reasons for reaching that con-
clusion because the voters of the state
voted against statewide prohibition
three years ago, and the legislature
a short time afterwards passed a
statewide prohibition act. Under the
initiative and referendum amend
ment to the state constitution adopted
several years ago, the Legislature has
power to repeal any act adopted by
the people, and vice versa.

WOULD SETTLE
JUDGES TENURE
TO TEST ELECTION ACT
UNSETTLED QUESTION WILL
BE TAKEN TO ARKANSAS
SUPREME COURT.

Arkansas Gazette.
To determine if circuit judges and
supreme court justices, wishing to
continue in office when their terms
expire in 1918 before the date of the
1918 general election, must be condi-
dates at the 1916 general election, a
test case will be instituted in the
Second division Pulaski circuit court
today. The provision which will be
tested is included in Act No. 107 of
the 1915 general assembly, which is
known as the Greathouse law. The
suit will be taken to the supreme
court Immediately.
Supreme court justices are said to
have agreed to advance the case.
AS the first step Judge G. w. Hen
bricks of the Third division Pulaski
circuit court, although candidate
for reelection without opposition,
agreed to the use of his name In
test suit. Yesterday he filed his
pledge required under the corrupt
practices act with Secretary of State
E. w. Hodges.
Although Secretary Hodges has ac-
copied and filed several pledges by
circuit judges, he agreed to refuse
Judge Hendricks pledge-first, on the
ground that there is no vacancy, and
second, because the Greathouse law
does not require circuit judges elected
to serve until 1918 to run at the 1916
general election.
Today Vincent M. Miles, attorney
for Judge Hendricks, will file in the
Second division circuit court petit
ton for write of mandamus to COM
pei Secretary Hodges to accept Judge
Hendricks pledge. Judge Fulk Will
render a speedy decision, from which
an appeal will be taken to the su-
preme court.
The terms of office of circuit judges
elected to serve until 1918 will ex-
pire October 81, 1918. Under the
Greenhouse act, judges and other dis
trict officers must be elected on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November. In every case there
would be at least one day when the
Office of circuit judge would be va
cant if the incumbent's successor was
not elected prior to the expiration OF
the term. In some cases the Office
would be vacant more than week.
If the Greenhouse law is Interpret
ed to require district officers to De
elected at the first election before the
expiration of the terms of the lncum-
bents, they must be elected practical
Nv two years before their terms of of
flee begin. Some candidates for
Democratic nomination would be COM
PEELED to seek nomination almost
three years before entering office.
w. F. Kirby is the only supreme
court justice who would at this time
be affected by the Greathouse law and
he has declined to say whether he will
run at the 1916 election. A number
of circuit judges in the state have
waited for Judge Kirby to announce
his candidacy and have failed to COM
ply with the requirements to have
their names placed on the tickets for
the primary elections.

TO ONE IN MEMORY.

If thou couldst only speak
From wheresoe'er thou art,
And let thy soft voice break
The sorrow of my heart;
If could hear single word,
And know that it was thine,
'Twould bring world of JOY unheard
Into this life of mine.
If could only see beyond
The closing of the eyes,
And understand how to respond
To voice from Paradise;
And if l could but realize
That thou art with me still,
The void that in my bosom lies
Would soon with pleasure thrill.
But there are many things you know
And yet cannot impart
To me, until my time to go
To thee, whereer thou art;
/ cannot know the sting of Death,
Nor what it is to die
Until yield this fleeing breath
To the God of earth and sky.
Could you but speak single word,
And tell me of its pains,
What emotions might be stirred
In my bewildered brains!
The things to me | cannot know,
To you no mysteries hold,
For you have gone where | must go,
And mingled with Natures fold.
Perhaps the scene that | most fear
Would lose its terrors great,
If YOUR voice | could but hear
Explain this changing state;
The moment in which our bodies
change
From the known to the surmised
Would shed it's dread so awful and
strange,
And become one truly priced.
But your voice to me is still,
| cannot know or hear,
/ cannot understand your will,
Although you may be near;
Perhaps from somewhere in space
You view the life / live,
