At the last State Democratic Convention Committee was ap pointed to draft a new Primary Election Law. Col. Steve Brun didge, of Searcy, was made Chairman of the Committee, and among the members were ex- Congressman, T. 0. McRae, now one of the prominent candidates for Governor, and Gov. Hays This Committee, at great loss of time and expense to its mem bers, formulated Bill and turn ed it over to the last General Assembly, but from some cause this body refused to pass the Bill. Col. Brundidge, the Com mittee's Chairman, has declared his intention of submitting the Bill to the voters, under the in itiatory plan provided in the l x R. Amendment to the Oonsti- tuition, for their approval or re- lection. The chances are that this Bill, which has been prepared with great care, by the ablest Democrats in the state, would meet with the hearty endorsement of the voters, but we notice from the published reports, coming out from the State Capitol, that an organization known as the State Federation of Labor Is, al so, preparing to initiate Bill, along similar lines, to be sub mitted at the same election, which will most likely have a tendency to confuse the voters, and the probabilities are that neither of these measures will become a law. If the Labor leaders really want new Pri. mary Election law they should have supported the Democratic measure instead of doing as they propose.

If We Could See You Face to Face.

If We could see you face to face, we could prove to you be- yond the shadow of doubt the advantages of the famous Byrne
 Practical Bookkeeping and Sim plified Shorthand. Our book
 keeping is one actual buisness from start to finish and our short
 hand may be written either with pencil or on typewriter. We could show you clearly how it is that We can turn out better stenographer or bookkeeper and do 1t in three months less time than when we used to teach the systems that are now being used in other schools. This saving of three months time means much to the prospective student; at a conservative salary of $50 per month, the three months time would amount to $l50, board at S12 per month would amount to S36 or total saving of $lo6, to say nothing of the fact that the student of our school gets three months of practical experience, while the students of other schools is just finishing his course and has no experience.
 We have hundreds of graduates holding the very best positions to be found in our larger cities. We have more calls for our grad uates of Bookkeeping and Short. hand or Photography than We are able to supply. You may enter with us at any time our work is practically all individual in- struction. Thorough prepara- tory work in English branches are given free. Write for cata- logue; make your arrangements to enter at once, that we may soon have the pleasure of placing you in a good position.

Every now and then we hear someone say that he has no sym. pathy for people destroyed at sea, by German submarine even though these people are women and children and travel ing on neutral or American passenger ship. The untenable and inhuman reason given for such diabolical expression is, that people have no right to ex pose themselves to the ravages of the submarine, just as if the Almighty had created the high,seas for the use and behoof of these monster hogs of the deep. Such an expression arises from inborn mendacity or pure ignorance of the great worlds condition, today. The grey hounds of the ocean have linked continents together, by com merce and blood, until the ar teries of the one are so intimate ly connected with the other that they almost assimilate one coun- try.
 The husband and father may be on this side of the Atlantic and the wife and daughter on the other, or the reverse may be the case, or the business man may have large interests, or small ones, on either side of the ocean that must have his attention or else be destroyed or go to waste. The oceans being the great nat. ural highways given by God to man for his own proper use, no kingdom has a right, either moral or legal, to place in the way of the peaceable citizen, on a peaceable mission an impedi- ment, much less an instrument of destruction.
 To torpedo and sink a pas senger ship, either neutral or belligerent, without an oppor- tunity for its passengers to es- cape death IS an act both cow ardly and brutal, and the gov ernment that persists in such in- human practice will ultimately find its reward in just condem- nation. And the man who has no sympathy for the unfortu- nate victims of such hellish and cruel conduct, should find cold and cheerles spot in every true heart.
