LITTLE ROCK LETTER
(By Clio Harper.)

Little Rock, Nov. 5.-The Consti-
tutional Convention will convene
two weeks from today. Unless all
signs fail, it will not remain in ses-
sion longer than ten days. That will
enable the convention to organize,
thresh out the question of adjourn
ment, appoint committees on the var
ious subjects to be written into the
constitution, and take recess until
some time next summer. At least
one member will be in favor of con-
vening and then adjourning sine die,
but this course is an extreme one
that is not likely to have much sup
port. The course previously outlined,
of taking recess to period that will
permit the submission of the new
constitution ninety days prior to the
November election in 1918, thereby
saving the expense of special
election, seems to be the more pop
ular view
Never has the state approached
a matter of such exereme import
ance with so little apparent interest.
True, the war and all that it entails,
may be uppermost in the minds of
the people, but so far as public dis
cussion through the press and other
wise of what the convention should
do, it has been almost nil. This also
may be partially accounted for by
the fact that it is generally accepted
by the people that new constitution
will not be written this winter
There are questions of supreme i'm
port the convention must consider,
such as revenue and taxation, pro-
hibition, suffrage, direct legislation,
internal improvements, and the atti-
fude of the state toward foreign
capital for the development of our
resources, all of which are vital.
Yet, save for sporadic references to
some of the subjects, there is no
propaganda for or against, and the
convention only two weeks off. The
nearest approach to stirring up inter
est are the poll taken by the Little
Rock papers on the subject of adj
'journment. and referendum by the
Anti-Saloon League on the subject of
prohibition, which showed that a
majority of the members are in favor
OF adjournment and that practically
all are in favor of writing prohibition

ARKANSAS NOTES


John Bouhs, fisherman, caught
a 200-pound turtle in the Black river
near Corning and sold it to res
taurant man at Neeleyville, Mo-, for
a little more than SIG.
Negroes of Dermott met at the ST.
Paul Baptist church during the Lib.
erty Loan drive, where leaders of
the race explained thereason for the
loan and the value of the bonds.
Fifteen negroes subscribed for bonds.
While driving along a road near
Lonoke Harmon Sturch discovered a
flock of wild ducks in a ditch near
the road. He threw stone and
broke the wing of fine drake, which
he captured.
A report has been circulated at
Morrilton that the German citizens
of that vicinity had refused to sub
scribe for Liberty Loan bonds. The
Morrilton Democrat investigated and
found that the Germans of Conway

rs cent cotton was considered a
dream and some believers coined it
into gold. That price was quickly
reached, thirty cent cotton is no
novelty, and long staple brings al
most any price. Now the optimistic
ones are predicting fifty cent cotton,
and many believe it will go to that
figure. The heavy increase in the
price of wearing is therefore only
natural and inevitable.
Arkansas farmers have never been
so prosperous, have never had more
money, have never bought more
automobiles, have never lifted more
mortgages. The merchants and the
cotton brokers are also doing well.

lar lots is not unusual. One day last

That represents a total valuation of

Arkansas took nearly $50, 900, 900 of
the Liberty Loan Bonds. 1t was not
a gift to the government, such as
taxes are, but it was an investment
in securities backed by the greatest
nation on earth of ancient or modern
times. No longer are government
bond owners restricted to the wealthy
and plutocratic, but there is none in
station so humble that he cannot own
a government bond. 1t is not loss
to the owner in any sense. The mon
ey does not go out of the country,

TEACH PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM

TEACH PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM
In seeking for an explanation for
the apathy and lack of patriotism
manifested in many parts of the
country, one is confronted in almost
every instance with the one underly-
ing nfluence-ignorance Ignorance
of American ideals, traditions and
principles. Ignorance of the plain
| duty of every citizen of a beneficient
government to preserve and defend
the institutions of that government
In the schools of this country from
this time aon, a department of prac-
teal patriotism should have fore
most place. Love of country is not
all hereditary. A practical know
| ledge of all that iur country and our
government stands for in the lives
of its citizens is essential to the
development of the highest type of
patriotic citizenship
1t is not enough that a people
should have a sentimental love for
the soil that bred them. Thousands
of aliens within our borders, now
loyal citizens of our country, have
this love. 1t is noticeable, however,
| that this does not detract from
their full Allegiance to the govern
ment that has nurtured and re-
ceived them.
There must be more than this to
make up the true American type.
! There must be first, knowledge
full realization of the superiority
of our institutions; a full apprecia-
tons of the great benefits that we
as INDIVIDUALS have received and
are continually receiving from them.
Add to this a carefully cultivated
sense of gratitude, and the country
will be safe in the hands of its
citizens.

THOSE HELPLESS HUSBANDS

The ladies', God bless 'em, were
talking, in the humorously indulgent
way in which they usually tackle
the topic about their husbands and
other women's husbands.
