SEEKS OWNER FOR
 HORSE AND BUGGY

From Wednesdays Daily.
 Judge J. w. Holt is anxious to find the owner of a horse and buggy at his wagonyard on East Oak street, left there about two weeks ago. On October 20, Judge Holt states, a young man whose name he did not learn, but who said he lived north of Martinville, left the rig at his yard and asked him to care for the outfit two or three days, as he was going to Little Rock. Since that day noth- ing further has been heard from him., and Judge Holt is afraid either that something has happened to the young man or that the horse and buggy were stolen. The young man was about 19 years old, heavy build, and the horse is a fea-bitten gray mare, weighing about 1000 pounds and about 12 years old.

CONWAY WIDENS
 TRADE TERRITORY
HIGH PRICE FOR COTTON
PAID BY BUYERS HERE BRINGS STAPLE FROM FAR DIS
 TANT POINTS.

Holding the market from one-half cent to one cent higher per pound throughout the present season than was being paid in other Arkansas markets, Conway cotton buyers have been drawing cotton to this city from points farther away than ever before in the city's history. This has been of great benefit to Conway merchants, who are enjoying a record-breaklng trade this fall. Good prices for cot ton and seed have made the farmers cheerful, in spite of the short crop, as practically every one has made sufficient feed to supply himself and make him independent for the next crop year.
 A local buyers stated today that scores of bales of cotton brought here in wagons from Shirley, Miller and other points on the Missouri & North Arkansas railroad more than 50 miles away, have been sold in Conway this year. Cabot, Lonoke county, few wears ago began to make inroads on the Conway market by attracting some cotton from Faulkner county, but this year several bales of cotton grown in sight of Cabot have been marketed in Conway. Many. farmers of the northeastern portion of Con way county, living much closer to Morrilton or Plumerville, have sold their entire crop in this city, and the usual trade territory in Cleburne, Van Buren, White and Perry coun- ties has been considerably wldened this season.

DECLARES STATES CONSTITUTION DEAD
URGFSNEW ORGANIC LAW
DEAN CARMICHAEL CONDEMNS PRESENT CONSTITUTION
 IN ADDRESS.

Little Rock, Nov. 2.-"Maimed, maltreated and mutilated by the su- preme court, and ignored by state and municipal authorities, the venerable constitution of 1874, shrieked in its dying agony, 'Et tu, Brutel' and bleeding at an hundred wounds, fell prostrate at the foot of Kirby's Di- gest.'
 This was the peroration of an ad- dress delivered Monday night by Dean J. H. Carmichael, before the Little Rock Law School, on "The Dead Constitution He made viz Iorous plea for a new constitution, de- claring that the constitution of 1874 has become so nearly obsolete as an organic law that the state demands new one.
 Judge Carmichael called attention to the fact that in 1883, only 19 l-2 per cent of the statutes enacted by the legislature were local or special. The legislatures then abided by the provision requiring the publication of notices for the passage of special acts. Then a levee district wanted special favors, and the constitutional provision was set aside, in the case of Davis vs. Gaines, decided in loo6. The flood of local legislation then be-. gan and in 1911 reached the stupend- ous total of 69 per cent of all the acts passed.
 Another fact to which Judge Car michael called attention IS that the constitution as it appears in hiroy Digest, lacks whole pages of the olll- cial document. The digester omitted all sections relative to special cleo tions, since they were in conflict with amendment No. 3. The sections were then renumbered. Subsequently the amendment was declared invalid, but the constitution still remained incom- plete and mutilated.
 These and many other arguments were offered by the speaker why there should be a constitutional conventloh'

There are undoubtedly thousands
of Chicago women who voted AT fine
city election last April with extreme
reluctance. The ballot has been
forced upon them. They had not ask
ed Tor II. They did not want it. All
their instincts were against partici-
patton in politics. But, when they
found the Secretary Of the United So
cieties predicting that the saloon in
terests which he represented would
have no difficulty in getting results
at the polls;" and when they discov-
cred that Mrs. Blazi. Chicago's "wo-
man boss" had delivered 300 votes
for "Bathhouse John" they ovorcamc
their reluctance. and registered and
voted. They did not succeed. "Bath-
house John" was reelected. and
more women voted for him than
against him; but the Chicago women
who went TO the polls against their in
clination had their first experience
with real politics.
Happily, Massachusetts women do
not now confront such a situation.
The burdens of the ballot cannot be
forced upon them. except by the ac-
tion OF majority OF Massachusetts
voters. And these voters will seek to
do what they believe a majority of
