PONDER AND ALWELL
 MAY SEEK TO RETIRE

Little Rock, Feb 12.-There is con- siderable talk going about the leg islative halls that some of the strongest men in the senate will not return to that body next session, even though they are holdovers. These men declare they cannot spare the time from their business inter- ests. Two of the men most spoken of are the Damon and Pythias of the senate, H. L. Ponder of Walnut Ridge, and Creed Caldwell of Pine Bluff. These men are prominent at torneys in their sections, and have to sacrifice their business to attend the legislature, though both have been on hand most of the time since the session opened.
 In order to hold them, it is stated there is well defined plan to make one of them president pro tenn at the close of the session, and the other will be made president the next term
 Senators Ponder and Caldwell room together, and spend most of their time together. They nearly al ways vote alike, even though they are the only ones voting in that way on bill, but there have been times when they clashed on matters of law, and then there was a furry of fur.

The reputation of the State Nor nal School and the impression that the institution gives to everyone who comes in touch with it is a matter of peculiar and pardonable pride to the people of Conway. In all the history of Arkansas, no other state institution has achieved such a rec ord as the one located here. No oth- CT state institution has enjoyed such rapid and substantial growth; none has been so free from malign political influences; and the Log Cab in Democrat believes it may be said without fear of successful contradic- tion that no other institution of the state has been so wisely and so economically administered. Every legislature that has met since the establishment of the Arkansas State Normal School has seemed to real ize that this was one institution, at least, whose word could be taken at its face value and whose works spoke for themselves. And, whereas unfavorable reports have been sub mitted concerning other state insti- tutions and their demands for ap- propriations have met with big re- ductions, no legislature has ever de- nied any item of any budget submit ted to it by the State Normal-and the Normal has never incurred de- ficit which it called upon the state to pay.
 AS one of many instances of the favorable impression which the State Normal creates upon those who have seen its work, the Log Cabin Demo. crat is glad to reproduce the follow

Washington.-Altho official com1
ment on the peace proposals made last
week by Pope Benedict was withheld,
the statement made by Secretary Lam
sing was regarded as significant by
well informed leaders at the nations
capital. Secretary Lansing asserted
that there had been no change In the
war aims and plans.
f. This is obviously susceptible OF more
than one Interpretation so far as 1t
beurs upon the question whether the
pope's proposals meet this country's
war aims. But the general impression
that those proposals would be found
not to be agreeable to this country
strengthened rather than weakened.
There is nothing official on which to
base this impression.
It was regarded as likely that Ger
many's reply to the Vatican would be
known before the allies framed their
reply, but it is not expected that even
though Germany should make some
dramatic effort to strengthen radical
peace opinion among the peoples with
whom she is at war the refusal Of the
powers to make peace now substantial

ION Is expressed in British circles here
that the people of England, in spite Of
the Henderson episode, will accept 10y
ally the decision of their government,
and comment in the London press sup
ports this opinion.
Much Dspsnds on Wilson.
Interest turns largely on the position
IF President Wilson. It IL plain from
comment In allied circles that the ques-
tion Of war and peace depends upon
the attitude Of this administration. IT
the president should profess himself
satisfied with the proposals of the pope
the allies must perforce accept them,
as they cannot fight on without the aid
which is to come from this country. II,
on the other hand, the president should
declare that the future Of the world
would be imperiled If Germany should
gain the substantial diplomat victory
which the adoption Of thes> terms
would bring, then the radical pea~. agi-
tation abroad would be somewhat
stilled, and 1t would be easier to fight
on for the future.

by the war department for the reor-
ganization Of the army along lines

The size of the infantry division.
