SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, July 19.-Thirty per cent of the men enlisted II the Arkansas National Guard ar' being rejected by the Regular ar. my officials on the final medical examination. 1t has depleted the ranks of the two regiments to less than the peace footing.
 To refer, however, to this as a weeding out is hardly fair to the young men who have shown their patriotism by offering their services. They have done their best. and entitled to credit for what they have tried to do.
 There is and can be no stigma attached to rejection by the med ieal examiners Of the army. The examinations to which the men are being subjected Is as rigid as that applied to recruits in the regular army, for under the new law. the National Guard of the various states when mustered in- to service, are in the same rela- ton to the national government as the regular army.
 Many of the defects for which man may be rejected are trivial as looked upon by the layman. but their possession Is none the less fatal to the ambitious young patriot who longs for a brush with the Mexicans. Defects not noticeable and that in no wise in- capaeitate a man for other work. have sent many an Arkansas boy back home and to his former en- ployment. As result, the two regiments. when filled, will pre- sent front of the physically fit who can stand the hardships of arduous camp life. tiresome pa trol duty with it's lurking dam gers. and long. forced marches over burning deserts.
 Ii k said that the fate of the Arkansas Guard is no worse than that of many of the militia units of the North and East. While there is no urgent need for the Arkansas troops on the Border, they are being put into condition for dependable service when the time comes that they are needed.
 Arkansas has no need to feel aggrieved over the large number of rejections. for military author ities agree that II is for the good of the service and the good of the men themselves.

toCN C1 dl oL tllC hCH ofel'1 , VI tiAV state, including the Daily Texar- kanian, have announced their opposition to it, principally be- cause 1t is, they allege, cumber- some and complex, and would only confuse the voter Howey- CT, it's advocates will keep up a hard fight for 1t.
 The labor interests of the state are back of the other measure, an initiated amendment to the Constitution to remove the limit upon the number of amendments that may be submitted at any one election.
 Another proposed amendment that should not be overlooked pro yides for a system of bonds for the construction of county roads. known as the F'utra1I amendment. It is an important. measure, and taken with the Alexander law should mean the building of thousands of miles Of new road.
 During the recent campaign. Gov. Hays announced that he proposed to appoint a board of survey to make an investigation Of the question of removing the University of Arkansas from Fayetteville to Little Rock. This board, or commission, was to consist of nonresident educators of well-known character, who could have no personal interest whatever, in the controversy. Their report would be used by him as the basis of whatever re- concentrations he might make to the Legislature. He also de- elared himself in favor of nov ing the University To more central location. Since that time. however. there las been no agita- ton of the subject, and Gov. Hays this week said he had done  nothing whatever in the Premis <. and declined to say when. if ev- CT. he would take any steps to- ward carrying out his purpose.
 It Is practically assured that the ZProhibitionists of the state will be unable 10 successfully at tack the validity Of the Initia- tive petition that has been filed with the Secretary of State for the repeal of the statewide pro hibition law.
 In order to make a showing agaist the petite. ii would be necessary to purge 1t of 7.295 sig natures. or almost one third of the 1S.136 names signed to the petition. It is manifest that this will be impossible, unless some wholesale Justification of sig natures can be discovered, which is improbable. Those who circu- lated the petition knew that it Is felony to forge signatures to the petition, and they say they were very carfuel to secure the signatures of only qualified elec- tors
 Leaders of the Anti-Saloon League are planning campaign of education and enlightenment upon the subject of practical and applied prohibition which they believe will overcome the work of those who are making their fight upon the local option plat form. These leaders are not i'll favor of attempting to purge the petition. which was circulat- ed and signed n Iess than three weeks. but to devote all their tine and energies 10 an open fight against the endorsement of eaa proposed lau b1 the people in November.
 | will be shown that business o all kinds Has been better than ii was under thr cid saloon system and that business inter ests in general are opposed to the repeal of the law. Il will be shown that crime has been less
