AMENDMENT NO. IA AND ITS ENEMIES.

dispatch received from Little Rock this morning states that Wallace Davis of the members of the state board of election commissioners has adopted the
 Hays policy of reversible mental action and as the result of an overnight meditation to the conclusion that it would not be proper to order change in the caption of Amendment Mo- 14 without confening further with his cohorts Secretary Hodges and Georgethe Waverng. The real purpose of this postpOnement O action IS, n questonaby an attempt to fight time until it is too late to take official action. Attorneys whose attention has been called to the controversy state that legal relief can be obtained.
 Matters have reached deplorably low level in Ar kansas politics when three men can meet somewhere over barToom the corner of faVo1te church and concoct schemes for misrepresentng public issues merely because the issue happens to be advanced by some who is personally dstasteful to themselves. Time spent in critiesng such men the trio above re- fered to is time wasted Worse than this, it tends to cultivate in one engaged in such criticism suspicion that all politicians are seeducaed crooksa suspicion not more than 99 44-100 correct. As former Gov. Futrell stated yesterday it is deporabe that the right to vote ntellgeny in Arkansas public matter can be made the paythng of malice hatred ignorance The proVe bal bull in china shop was painstalng creature i'll general department when compared with Wallace Davis politics That disreputabe yOungster with more guS than brains should be lifted to position Ot reSpOnSlOll- ty by governor with more moral and mental depraVlty than Datri0tism is condition sufficiently serious to right thinking people to wonder why the good Lord Him. self doesn't occasionally take hand in public affairs and try few backhanded licks at the moneychangers and dove-sellers This political synagogue needs the aten- ton of strong with brass knuckS and substantial arm reach if rights of the to be conserved.
