 ALSO AT WORK
While Democrats are Busy RepublI- cans also Get Busy in Politics.
 No Bull Moose Party.

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-(Special.)- While the Democrats of the state are having a Kilkeny-cat time with their own politics, the Republicans are be- ginning to talk. Deprived of any real incentive in State politics, they de- vote the greater part of their attention to national politics. During Demo- cratic national administration their in- centives in national politics are woe- fully lacking, still they find fascina- tion in playing the game-and hoping.
 Predictions are being made that there will be no Progressive Party in Arkan as hereafter, but that their will be coalition of the factions un- der the banner of the G. o. P. Condi- tions have not yet advanced far en- cugh to predict who will be the cho.cs of the Arkansas Republicans for the Presidency. They admit casually sin ce 1t will be anybody to beat Wilson, that 1t will be no easy task. Arkan- sas Republicans, as we'll as Democrats almost at the head of the list in the list in the national conventions and they try to pick the winner.'' And history shows that they are usually successful so far as the nominee is concerned.
 Among those who are being men,- toned as favorites among Arkansas Republicansare: Former, Vive pres.- dent Fairbanks of Indiana, Governor Whitman of New York, Senator Sher- man, Senator Borah, and Associate Justice Hughes. And Roosevelt still has following in Arkansas who be- leve that he could sweep the country if he would accept the nomination of the Republicans, and desert the Bull Moose, which is already scarcely moro than political waif.
 But while the Republicans are cast ing political horoscopes, the Demo- crats are sitting ,serenely in the boat, confident that there is no cue who can defeat Woodrow Wilson. Arkansas Democracy could not be more loyal to any one than it is to the President whom many acclaim as one of the greatest presidents the United States has ever had, the others being Wash |ington and Lincoln. Even the partis- ans of Champ Clark, whose defeat they considered a personal misfortune, arc now as loyal to the New Jersey states man. That he has met tremendous issues squarely and intelligentiy, and that his wise course will keep the Un- ited States out of the world-war now waging, is the confident belief of all.

COMMOTION AMONG JUDGES
Circuit Judges Find that They Will
 Have to Make Another Race.

Little Rock, Aug 12.-The story printed in the columns of the News yesterday about the tangle brought about by the new consolidated election law has caused all sorts of commotion among twenty circuit judges and the twelve chancellors of the state. They have been secured in belief that they would have no personal interest in the 1916 primaries, 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 inten: of the law-makers," said one eminent author ity. "NO one believes the legislature intended that man should run for an office three years before he as- sumes it's duties, but if the act means what it says there can DC no fuestion ahcut it. And every judgs who wish es to succeed himself had better go a';er the nomination next March or he will stand a good chance to lose. It is preposterous, of course, but it is the law, and there is no power outside of the legislation that can cure the de- feet"
 If the law is susceptible of this con- struction, and for the sake of personal safety it is not probable that any judge will assume the risk of ignoring it, it will require Associate Justice w. F. Kirby, whose term expires October 31, 1918, to run aga'n in March, 1916. His nomination at that time would fn- sure his tenure on the Supreme Bench until October 31, 1926. Judge Wood, whose term expires October 31. 1916. will have to run again anyway.

GIRL OF 1s KILLS TO SAVE HONOR

 Head of WOuld.Be Assallant

SnatcheS up shotgun ana BLOWS Vn
 Head of Would.Be Assailant.
 Van Buren, Aug. 10.-Calmly and with no sign of emotion, Ethel Dixon, 16, told coroner's jury tonight how she shot and killed Frank Halliday, 30, in a tent on a farm near here this afternoon. She shot to save her hon. or,- she said. Halliday's head waS blown off. The girl was exonerated by the coroner's jury.
 The girl is small for her age. but has a bright and attractive face. She told her story tc. the jurors in so straight forward a manner as to leave no doubt that she was telling the truth.
 The girl, with her father and sister, came here from Oklahoma about two weeks ago to work in the peach orchards. They had been living in a tent on the farm of Mrs. O'Brien. about five miles south of Van Buren. About 5 ciclock this afternoon the father started after toad of wood. Halliday accompanied him . part o1 the distance, then made an excuse to return.
 The girl told the jury that Halliday came to the tent and attempted to as- sault her. She fought him off, she said, and the man seized an old single barreled shotgun lying cn the ground and loaded it declaring he would kill her. Then he seemed tc' change his mind. for he picked up piece of rope and began to beat the little girl.
 Quick as flash, she darted, picked up the gun and as quickly fired. The mans head was blown from his shoul- ders.
 Hearing the report of the gun, the girls father came rushing into the tent, only to stumble across Halliday's |headless form.
 It is believed that Halliday had been drinking. Nothing is known of him here. He applied for work at peach orchard about two weeks ago, and at that time said his home was eigns of ten miles north of here. The body will be held by local undertaken awaiting relatives to claim r.

Texarkana, Aug. 12.-When Decker Smith, 14, son of Dr. J. K. Smith. of this city was in the act of unloading 8 shotgun to give his friends some shells Tuesday morning, the weapon was ac- cidentally discharged and the con- tents struck Clarence Winchester, 16. son of Daniel Winchester, farmer living near Index, in, the back just above the kidney, as result of which the boy is in a critical condition at a local sanitarium.
 From the meager information avail able, it is understood that young Smith learned that his boy friend had gone to spend the day ca farm owned by his uncle. He decided to take like trip and proceeded to take the first train to the place, taking his shotgun along. When he arrived and found his friend, it was stated that there were no shells to be obtained and Tn order to allow his friend to participate in the contemplated shooting. young Smith offered part of the magazine of his gun to his companion.
 It was while the unloading was taking place. that the Winchester boy, who was sitting on some steps only a few feet from Smith, unex- pectedly received the charge which may prove fatal. As there was no one at the house at the time Decker Smith ran to his friends uncle in a near by field and told of the ac- cident. The uncle immediately tell Sphoned to Dr. Smith, who went to the scene in his automobile and
 aght the wounded boy back and paced him in local sanitarium, wher he was given surgical treatment.

PRINCESS BILL IS
 THE GREATEST YET
LAST HALF OFFERING IS GREAT ER SHOW THAN ONE EARLY

Admittedly greater show than the opening bill at the Princess this popular playhouse has set a new mark for vaudeville excellence that could not be surpassed anywhere in the country The five acts which opened for three days yesterday proved itself easily the most magnifi- cent show ever seen in Hot Springs.
 Hot Springs is a musical, comedy and novelty city when it comes 10 choice of vaudeville and the present bill fills the wishes of local shcIw- goers to perfection.
 The Six Kirksmith Sisters com pany of musical artists that cannot he excelled, provide one of the classiest musical acts imaginable. These clever and talented girls play variety of instruments and play them all in the most artistic manner their solos, duets, trios, quartets and chorus mum hers being of high standard of musi- cal excellence seldom heard. Beauti- fully dressed and artistically staged, their act is a classic in it's line.
 The Empire Comedy Four the greatest comedy quartet in the coun- try today, simply stopped the show last night and their work we'll merited the applause received for no greater harmony and joy quartet has ever been heard here. The comedy put over by this clever quartet is the spontaneous kind that always wins while their magnificently blended voices lost none of their charm from the laughs that followed every comic selection.

The advantages, not to say the ab. solute need of diversified farming and rotation of crops are becoming so manifest throughout the southern states that bankers and many of the leading planters are helping to teach sgrichtdrists generally, and especial ly the negroes, the true value of food crops. At the recent Tuskegee negro conference 1t was stated that on more than 30,000 farms tenanted by negroes no cattle are raised. on 270,000 no hogs are raised, and on 10000 no is no corn.

THE GERMAN BLOCKADE.

Later explanation of the intent o Germany's order creating war zone around Great Britain and Ireland in cluding the English Channel, divest it of the significance it seemed origi nally to possess.
 If. as the order first appeared, Ger many had resolved on the desperate expedient of making little distinction between hostile and neutral shipping travelling within this zone, it might fairly have been concluded that it was her object either to draw all the neu tral nations into the war or so to ter rorize them as to shut them off as sources of supply to England and France.
 But the profuse assurances now be- ing given to the United States that the American flag, when flying over bona fide American ships, is to be scrupulously respected and that Ger man naval officers are to exercise the utmost caution where American life and property are concerned, confirm the rational view of those Who could see nothing in the order but an inten tion to strike terror into British hearts and frighten British shipping from the seas.
 No one knows better than the Ger man government that if under the or der an American merchant ship was sunk and American lives sacrificed not even so pacific an administration as that now in power at Washington could resist the storm of popular In. dignation that would demand instant reparation, even at the cost of war; and Germany has too vivid recogni. ton of her own peril to invite this great power to take sides against her.
