YOUNG MEN ASK PRIVILEGE
 OF MILITARY TRAINING

Little Rock, April 24.-Efforts are being made by young men of Little Rock for military training at the Fort Logan H. Roots training camp for reserve officers, for men not elig- ible at the present time for service in the reserve corps. Married men, or young men with others dependent upon them, are not now accepted for service in this corps, which volun- teers for the war period. This shuts them out from the training they would like to have, and would need should their country call for them later. Petitions have been sent to the military officials asking that a number of Little Rock business men be given the privileges similar to those extended each year at the Plattsburg training camp. A num- Der of them have been to this camp in past years.
 Granville Burrow, of the Beall- Bur row Dry Goods Company. has passed the examination for admittance to the aviation corps, and will soon be ordered to the instruction camp. He has volunteered for the war. Robert Doyle, of the Doyle-Kidd Dry Goods Co.,, and Robert Beall, of the Beall- Burrow Dry Goods Company. are ap- plicants for the commissary depart ment of the reserve corps, and will soon be ordered to Fort Logan H. Roots for examination.

HON. I. (. M'RAE FOR PRESIDENT CONVENTION
Is Meeting With General Favor Former Gov. Hays Seeks to EnjOin Issuance of S750,O00 in Notes.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, April 24.-One of Gov. Brough's most cherished measures is being threatened by former Governor Hays, who, as a citizen and taxpayer is seeking to enjoin the state treas urer from proceeding with the issu- ance of the proposed $750,000 in notes. Judge Hays insists that he is actuated only by his interest in the taxpayers of the state to prevent this debt being saddled upon them. He says that some one must protect the people in their rights, and so long as no one else had undertaken the work, he had volunteered his services. His suit will be heard this week, and will be taken immediately to the Supreme court, whatever the decision of the lower court may be.
 Judge Hays contends that the pro- posed note issue is unconstitutional. He does not deny that the indebted ness he seeks to avoid has already been created, and has offered no way out of the dilemma if the courts should sustain his contention. The proceeds of the notes may fall short of meeting the states requirements in putting it upon an absolutely cash basis, but if this expedient is not adopted, the obligations will pile mountain high, and heavy discounts will continue to be paid for every thing purchased for the states insti- tutions. The inhibition against the issuance of interest-bearing evidenc- es of indebtedness is the ground upon which Judge Hays suit is based, but supporters of the administration financial policies are confident the state will be able to sustain it's posi- ton and save the credit of the state.

The proposition to make former Congressman T. C. McRae of Pres colt, president of the constitutional convention is meeting with general favor. He is recognized by all as one of the states brainiest men, whose long experience in Congress has pe- culiarly fitted him to preside over the deliberations of the convention. The general average of the convention is superior to the average aggregation of men of equal number. They are for the most part mature men, stand ing high in their professions or call ing, representing all shades of opin- ion, except, possibly, the ultra-eX- tremists. It is just such a tody of men as might be expected to he de- liberate and ins-taking. carefully weighing all questions from every angle, and dependable in safeguard ing the rights of the people
 There will be many questions be- fore the convention which it will not be easy to adjust, such as the issu- ance of bonds, the financial question, equal suffrage, and several others, but like that of prohibition, public senti- ment will largely sway the delibera- tions of the convention. And the pub lie is being educated. The people are

There are some popular newspaper standbys that move in cycles. Just now it is Mother Shipton's Prophecy, which concludes with the cheerful pre- diction that:
 The world to an end shall come
 In eighteen hundred and eight-one." |"
 The fact that it did not does not detract in the least from the almost uncanny fulfllment of every other long-distance prophecy made in the famous piece of doggerel When this gets started, it has to go the rounds. Just like Senator Vests oration on a dog. the letter written by Jesus Christ's own hand" Joaquin Miller's great poem, My House By the Side of the Road" which is credited more often to Sam Walter Foss or some body else, and the story of who it was that really started the war.
 Then every once in a while some novice antiquarian breaks into print with story about having a copy of the Ulster County Gazette of January 1, 1900, containing an account of the death and funeral of George Washing ton. As matter of fact there are hundreds of copies of the paper in the country and they are all reprints. A large number of them were printed during the Philadelphia Centennial, and flooded the country as originals. It is probable that there is not a copy of the original left anywhere
 These things only show how ideas get possession of folks and how diff cult it is to shake off an agreeable fiction.

Unnatural Selection
New Animal in Twin Falls That
Promises Fair to RevOlutiOnize LO-
cOmOtiOn.

The seedless orange, the odorless
onion and the milkless milkweed are
tame developments compared with the
new product of evolution seen yester-
day when Anthony NJ. Sande, noted
as dispenser of pure ice, came down
Main street in his "flivver," followed
by its colt, which strongly resembled
both in appearance and soprano eff
feet, its sire whose name was doubt
less Senior Burro, and whose remote
ancestors we're doubtless residents of
the salubrious climes of Andalusia.
The little Fordule, for its maternal
ancestry would forbid its being called
a mule though the living image of
one, was evidently in good health. It
cantered down the street, stopped at
the postoffice and affectionately rub
bed its head against its Ford mother,
while Mr.. Sande went into the office
to get his mail. When Mr.. Sande
came out and mounted and rode away
it followed down the street cracking
but not quite breaking the speed linn
it, as well as the ear drums of every
one within hearing distance-which
took in quite respectable scope OF
territory. There certainly is nothing
wrong with the foghorn attachment
of the prodigy, and if Mr.. Sande does
not patent it there will be limitations
though not Implications. AS a whole
the Fordule resembles its sire more
than it's dam, although it is said by
those who heard Mr.. Sande refer tc
the matter as he passed by, that he
seemed to lay more emphasis on the
latter.
1t is understood that Mr.. Sande de-
MES that the animal is owned by him
and that he AYERS that it was simply
an ordinary mule colt belonging tC
someone else who determined to in
/ vestigate the qualities of serviceable
car, but this version is not affected
| by those who saw the tenderness
which came into the eyes of the little
Fordule, as it fondled the "Flivver'
and who heard the pathetic under
tone CD in its voice as it cantereC
down the street after its parent.
1t is reported that Secretary Baker
has wired to veterinarian in thi:
city to investigate the possibilities o
the new animal for war purposes.

New Names for the
Twin Falls Streets

A resolution passed by the city
council last night provided for a
sweeping alteration of the names of
the streets in some of the additions
of the CITY, West Boundary and Gem
streets become Washington street and
all streets in that part of the city that
run north and south will be named af-
ter presidents. John Quincy Adams
street will be "Quincy' street The
same manner of naming will continue
through the new Sanger addition,
which was formerly the "Perrine
Eighty" North Boundary street be-
comes Addison avenue, of which it is
continuation. Polk street becomes
ShOup street, after the former Idaho
senator, while the extension of Hey
burn, known as Harrison, drops that
name and takes on the name Hepburn.
All thoroughfares running north and
south are to be called streets and
those east and west to be called ave-
nues.
Further changes may be made later.
This was the most important business
transacted last night The plan to
rent city building was carried over
on suggestion of Councilman Eldridge
that the time was probably ripe for a
city hall election afain.
