TWO BIG QUESTIONS
Shall the Constitution Be Rewritten 0I
 Merely Few Changes Made.

Little Rock, Oct 19.-Thece will be some members of the Constitutional Convention who will insist upon mak- ing a relatively few changes in the constitution, rather than completely rewriting it, as the most desirable thing to be done at this time. The newspapers of the state are taking up the discussion os the convention and the attendant politics in connec- tion with it, and public interest will be arouaed by the time the convention meets on November 19 There are two big questions to be determined
 Shall the convention be deferred un, til next year, so that the finished in- strument may be submitted within 90 Jays of the November election, and
 Shall the old Constitution be patch> ed Up or shall the organic law be wholly rewritten?
 There will be strong advocates on both sides of each question.

They meet on the fourth Wednesday in October, which this year will be October 24 The last legislature enact- ed law which will permit the County Judge to convene the quorum court in special session whenever an emergen- cy arises. Another important change in the law which will cause the offici- als to watch county finances more closely is that it is expressly declar, ed'that no county judge can exceed an appropriation for any purpose. Here tofore it was possible for the Quo- rum court to appropriate $10000 and build a $1OO,0O0 court house, but this is now prohibited The full amount to be used for any purpose must be appropriated.

| best ii is cruel business whose hor
rOrs are worse when one is brought
face to face with them than anyone
could imagine before the experience
| But there is degree even in horrors
and we should rejoice at anything
which tends to make of war not quite
as bad a hell as it might be
We have witnessed a thing of this
kind on the ocean A German subma-
rine has captured and sunk an Amer
lean merchantmen for a fight The
crew were set adrift in open boats
after the wounded men among them
had had their wounds dressed by the
German surgeon. To make the cour-
tesy the more complete, the captain
of the submarine congratulated the
captain of the merchantmen on the
splendid fight he had made.
Now under the German ruling these
men were all pirates. They were not
in the service of any nation They
were serving on a priyate-owned ship.
Our own people have expected men
captured under such circumstances
to be treated as pirates, and our gov
eminent has never asserted that in
teTnational law gave them protection.
At first thought one may imagine
that the commander of the German
submarine liberated these men in
stead of holding them as prisoners be-
cause he did not have room for them
on his vessel But certainly he had
room for some of them. He could
have taken the captain and the gun
ners instead of liberating them, but

fire on the German submarines.
. We will soon know whether this act
of courtesy was due to the kindness
of one mans nature or was in keep
ing with the policy of the German
government in dealing with the Unit
ed States, for if this captain departed
from the policy of his government he
will be punished for it. If he acted
under orders of his government we
may hope to conduct our part of the
war with Germany as we have CON
Quoted other wars in as humane

A FOND FAREWELL.

A tear. sob, fond farewell; Sher
man declared that war is hell A
last sweet kiss, a moments bliss; then
cheer upon cheer, the rattle of brakes
and whistle shrill-They're off to bat
tie with a hearty will for the grand
old Stars and Stripes!
1t was a beautiful sight both yes
terday and the day before to watch
the noble sons of Brunswick and vi
cinity march bravely away amid the
cheers and the tears of loved ones
and friends. 1t was. in a sense. sad,
yet withal a pretty, inspiring scene.
The Brunswick Riflemen and the
other commands know not where they
are going; they care not, for they go
in answer to the call OF their country
Perhaps they will rest at Macon
awhile before that perilous journey
to France to fight for America. and
for the liberty for which their fore
fathers fought. But, whether they re-
turn from Macon or whether they
carry the colors to the very gates of
Berlin and plant them in that capital
of hell it matters little.
They left Brunswick to do the bid
ding of the war department of the
United States government now at war
with the greatest military power on
the face of the earth.
Hundreds of people turned out to
bid the soldiers farewell and to wish
them Godspeed The people of Bruins
wick are due considerable credit for
their great patriotism, which has not
been surpassed by any city in the
state or country Their subscriptions
to the Liberty Bonds their aid of
the Red Cross, and their constant
of their duty in this
hour of nations crisis, all were as
naught to their act in this moment
when they gave their sons to the
cause of the Republic!
Whatever may be the fate of these
boys, God grant that they will repre-
sent always and everywhere the true
spirit of this battle for liberty, for
honor and for the great
cause of making 1.-The world safe for
democracy"

ORIGIN OF RED CROSS.

The story has been printed that the
Swiss philanthropist who started the
Red Cross societies, about forty years
ago, invented the emblem by simply
transposing the Swiss flag-thereby
producing a white ground with a red
cross; but Mrs. Bellamy Storer de-
clares that the red cross, as a badge
of service for suffering humanity,
dates back more than 300 years. and
dts origin must be of interest at this
time when it has expanded as a soci-
ETY. into a multitude that ministers to
the physical needs of our army and
navy here and abroad.
Camillus de Lillis was born in the
kingdom of Naples in 1850. After
serving in the Venetian army he was
badly wounded in the leg and sent
to the hospital of San Giacomo in
Rome. where he was so impressed
by the horrors and filth of what was
really a pesthouse that he resolved
to devote his life to suffering human
ity; "to care for the plague-stricken
and to nurse the sick in their own
homes" At thirty-two he was or
dained priest and set about found
ing religious order "to serve the
sick"
"They shall wear red cross upon
their breasts" said Mamillus, "to re
mind them of the suffering OF our
Lord Christ. This will give them
strength and encoura cement SiXtus
V. confirmed the congregation in 1855,
granting them a special permission
to wear the Red Cross" This same
red cross is the badge OF service to-
day, worn by every religious order
which takes care of the sick in every
part of the world.
This red cross has been blessed in
the leper settlements Of MOlokai and
Madagascar; in the cholera hospitals
Of India, and the Instrumentation
lands of the Far East, as well as on
the battlefields of France. In the cal
endar st. Camillus' day falls upon
July IS, and at this special mass these
words are chanted: Greater love
hath no man than this,s that he lay
down his life for his friend"

DON'T DIVERT LOCAL TRADE.

Brunswick Is said to be pretty badly
crowded at present with canvassers
and itinerant statesmen, representing
outside concerns. who are engaged in
selling good which are carried by To-
cal merchants
These canvassers carry line of
samples and they endeavor to make
the citizens of Brunswick believe that
he is acting for his own interests
when he gives them an order.
The stuff they sell is, almost inva-
riably, of inferior quality and higher
price than the articles in the same
line handled by the local merchant.
BY personal solicitations, they often
succeed in unloading their goods upon
the citizen. who doesn't stop to think
that, in giving the order, he is work
ing an injustice to the home merchant
and likewise to his own pocketbook.
These travelling canvassers are
smooth takers and they know just
what line of discourse to hand out to
a prospective customer.
They spend nothing in Brunswick
but their hotel bill. The money you
pay the house they represent goes
to swell the business of another city.
Not one cent of it finds its way back
to Brunswick.
Meantime. the local merchant, liv-
ing here, doing business here, employ
ing help here, paying taxes here and
contributing to the growth and pros
perity of his city and your city, pat
ronizing you and helping you to make
living loses this trade, which you
give to an outsider.
Aren't you ashamed Of yourself?
Meet the canvasser politely, but in
form him, firmly and finally, that you
are giving your patronage to the home
merchant for more reasons than one.
Tell him that when you have money
to spend, you intend spending it with
the man or firm that reinyests 1t
here.
!, Tell him good-bye-and that he
needn't call again.
