liar provisions OF the law would mean that, not having voted on the proposition
at all their votes will be counted as being in favor OF the amendment
About a week ago the chairman OF The republican state committee demanded
compliance with the law which required the sending Of a pamphlet containing
the constitutional amendments and the arguments on sam 10 each registered
voter Under the statute this should have been done by June 80 However only
about one -ioufth OF the pamphlets had been sent out After the republican state
chairman had called attention. to the glarng failure to comply with the statute
Il became evident 10 the administration that the people wanted something done
but instead OF sending out the booklets, various official, proceeded to indulge
n a controversy, which is still further delaying the sending out o. the pamphlets
The public doe, not know whether the controversy is sincere, or whether It is a
fake The effect is the same
Il was stated promptly on behalf OF the governor that he had decided that
the law should be complied with The public most naturally expected that the
pamphlets would be sent out Immediately When two more days had elapsed
without action, the people demanded to know the reason Then the secretary
OF state admitted that he had ON hand quite a number Of additional lists OF
voters which had been sent in after the folks at home had gotten after de
hnQucnt registrars The secretary %. state expressed great anxiety to send the
pamphlets to these voters lie was quoted as saying that they would have been
sent long ago hut the democratic press bureau had Immediately butcd in

scene a democratic state senator lie goc, into the district court with the sec

commanding the secretary OF state 10 DO his duty. Why a public official should
want the court to compel him To do his admitted duty Is hard TO comprehend
Anyhow, lawsuits mean delay. and for another week has the administration gwp

LINES WORTH REMEMBERING.

1t is the inherent duty of every people to
maintain peace with others as long as reason,
a. judgment, as honor will permit, but if there
comes a time when all these demand action,
when it is realized that everything has been
done which can be to cement those relations of
amity with other nations that we have so long
striven to maintain, we must then answer to
the call of duty.-WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

S2.OOO TO DfffND
 CAPITOL HEARING

, Little Rock, April 23.-The govern or has issued a proclamation author izing an expenditure amounting to S3,000 for the purpose of meeting the necessary expenses of the Caldwell & Drake controversy. This was done at the request of the capitol commission, since the old claim has been revived before the board of arbitration that was authorized by the legislature. There is more than $300,0O involved in the controversy, and the commis- sion insists that the state owes Cald- well & Drake nothing, but that. on the other hand, the former capitol contractors in fact owe the state a considerable sum of money.
 The expense to be borne by the commission will be that of bringing experts from outside the state to tes- tify, and the pay of stenographers and for printing Ut is likely says the commission, that this item alone vii no doubt be very volumnous. In cur opinion the condition is one of dire necessity if the interest of the state is to be protected
