LEGISLATURE WILL
ADJOURN MACH 8
Only Few Working Days Left
Before Final Adjournment
Next Thursday

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-The
Legislature will adjourn sine
die at noon, Thursday, next
week.
And at once will begin the
active campaign all over the
state for the election of dele
gates to the Constitutional con-
vention. In fact, many aspir-
ants are already announcing
their platforms and getting in
to the race. There will be no
lack of material from which to
select the delegates who are
to write "the Constitution of
1918" The important question
confronting the voters every
where will be, who is the best
man to represent us?
Care must be exercised to
prevent stocking the conven-
ton with too many men of
any one class. There must be a
diversity of interests and pro-
LESSONS, or the resultant dOcu-
ment may not find favor at the
hands of the people to whom
it must be submitted for rati-
fication.
A convention of lawyers, or
corporation attorneys, or far
mers, or business men,or school
teachers would not be desir-
able, but all of these should
have a chance to be represent
ed in a body of Ia.
The drafting of aconstitution
is a most serious proposition.
Deliberation is the first requi-
site. Every idea must be weigh
ed deliberately and dispassion-
ately. Ample time is given, no
time limit having been set. The
convention may be in session
for three months. Thousands
of propositions will probably
be presented that must be re-
jected as radical or unfeasible.
The present constitution will
be taken as a basis for the new.
There are many provisions of
the organic law of 1874 that
cannot be improved upon. Pro-
visions for conditions that have
since arisen, under the changes
that have come within the last
forty years, must be added to
meet the needs of an expand
ing industrial and commercial
commonwealth.
The one thing that must be
guarded against more than
any other is the opportunity of
the dreamer, the Utopian, the
extremist and the impracticable
socialist. The tendency of the
day has been toward a top
heavy paternalism, a restrictive
thou shalt not" policy, rather
than a progressive thou shalt"
program. The convention will
have to steer its course between
the Scylla of rampant social
ism, and the Charyodis of re-
progressive conservatism. On
the rocks of either it will go
to pieces. Hence the necessity
of choosing the wisest and
most level-headed men of each
community.

BILIOUSNESS

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and a terrible headache.
Take Chamberlain Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you viii soon be as well
as ever. Sold everywhere, 25c.
