 IN NOME REGION
Native Population Almost Completely Wiped Out by Dread Disease; Many
 Whites Also Die.

AIT accounts from Nome are that the influenza has caused terrible scourge to the Seward Peninsula country Most of the natives have died, and many white people have succumbed to the disease. Since the ditpatch from Nome l taken from the Seattle Post-lntelli gencer and printed below was re I ceived, telegrams have been received | that place the number of native deaths at 180 and that of the whites at 21 Tn addition to the names printed in the dispatch, it is said | that George Prosser, Charles Thomas l and Charles w. Reed have passed | away.
 The dispatch referred to follows: NOME, Alaska, Nov. 15.-Spahish influenza has cut out a fearful swatf of death in Seward peninsula, and | now, believed at the turning point | in this section, is spreading still far ther northward towards the Arctic ! and down the coast

 Of an estimated Eskimo population
 in this vicinity of 25O, but seventy five natives are left the dead -otal ing 175, and others dying daily. Nine teen white persons in Nome have sue | cumbed, but conditions among the whites are improving. At Fort Davis l seventy-five out of eighty-five sol
 diers stationed there have had the influenza
 Among the natives whole families
 have been wiped out. First made
 helpless by the disease, then, without
 attention, they have frozen to death
 In superstitious fear of the dead the
 Eskimos have fled from cabin to
 cabin, making the task of the author
 ities in combating the epidemic more difficult. To care for the Eskimo l children, an orphanage has beer 1 opened in Nome, with thirty babie! as inmates

LIEUTENANT GOVENOR

Art VI, Sec. l, provides for the creation of the office of Lieutenant Governor, to be elected ouadrennialIy as are other state officers, to po- sess qualifications similar to those required for the Governor to be ex-officio President of the Senate, and to serve as Governor when that off, ficial is disqualified for any reason When act ing as Governor he shall receive equal compen- sation.
 The wisdom of this provision is evident te all During recent years the greatest confusion has frequently resulted because of the unsatis- factory method of succession to the Governors s office There have been numerous "accidental' Governors in whose selection the people had nc choice This will be prevented by the election of Lieutenant Governor by the people, cores bonding in duties and position to the Vice Pres ident of the United States. It is simple eXpe- dient which obviates confusion and insures the orderly administration of the Government by an officer elected by the people an alternate for the office. He is tc be paid as a member of the Senate when acting President of the body, and in case of vacancy in the office of Governor it's duties and emoluments shall auto- matieally devolve upon him until the disability be removed. As President of the Senate, he shall have no vote except in case of tie

EQUALITY OF SUFFRAGE

Art III, Sec l, provides that ''the right to vote hold office shall not be denied ab- ridged on account of sex," and that finale and female citizens shall enjoy equally all civil, po- ltical and religious rights and privileges"
 The Allies are expending billions of treas ure hundreds of thousands of lives, and drench- ing the world in blood to establish firmly the very principle here briefly enunciated. It means nothing lese than the extension of the doctrine of equality of rights and privi- leges to one-half of our tax-paying, home-mak- ing citizens who have been unenfranchiseG from the foundation of our nation. It is one of the principles of enlightened government that no people are truly free when half are denied an exercise of the rights of citizenship. The women of Arkansas, as of the whole nation. de- mand this concession not on account of senti- ment, or political ambition passing fad, but because it is right that should never have been alienated, an act of simple justice that should never have been denied. It does not rob woman of her womanhood. but recognizes her as an equal partner in the management of the government under which she must live and rear coming generations of citizens

LETTER FROM FRANCE

Miss Myrtle Fetzer has re- ceived the following letter from her cousin, Owen FetZer, who is with the American for ces in Fanee.
 France Sept. 21.
 Dear Cousin-Received your letter today and it found me o. K.
 I had just given up all hope of ever hearing from America. 1t has beer three motnhs since 1 landed on French soil and 1 haven't received a letter until l got yours today, so you can guess how glad 1 was to get your letter.
 Sorry I did not get to see you before leaving for Camp. when was in Newark that day, but in fact 1 did not know you were in Newark. 1 sure would like to see that country again, but we will finish the Boehe before I can see it.
 Myrtle, I never realized what war really meant until July Is. When you meet an enemy, hand to hand, with 8 gleaming bayonet, you fully realize that you are in war. The 18th of July is when the big American offensive start ed and, believe me, We made it hot for the Hun. We drove them from their strongly forti- fled positions, and captured many prisoners and guns, and they are stil on the run.
 Your cousin,
 THOS. o. FETZER,

BOARD OF PARDONS

Art VI Sec 13, provides for Board of Pardons to consist of the Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Auditor, 10 meet or the call of the Governor, and to consider all peti- tions for pardons, repreives, paroles, or commu- tations in felony cases; the Governor may act upon the recommendation of the Board, after 60 days following reference if the Board makes no recommendation, but he shall have no power to grant cemency in felony except after conviction and reference to the Board.
 The State has long demanded Board ot Pardons It is reform of recognized lmpCr tance It places salutary restraint upon the exercise of the pardon power, which all admlt has at times been grossly abused It is curb upon upon the political trading of an unscrupu- lous chief executive, should such one ever be elected. and protection to the honest big hearted Governor whose sympathles sometimes outweigh his calmer judgment as an impartial conservator of law. The right of pardon, inher- ent in the chief executive, is probably the most unwecome of his duties, since upon his individ- ual decision often rests question of life and dea- tn and the uphoding setting aside of the judgments of the courts. The Board will sit as a court of review to advise the Governor and re- lieve him of the responsibility of making an un- aided decision The BCara serves without ex- tra compensation.

Proposed New Constitution synopi. Old of 1874

special, local or private acts which the journals do not affirmativeIy show were published as provided.
 No other single reform has been so gener- ally demanded as this. The growing abuse of local legislation has caused more adverse criti- cism of the General Assembly than anything else, and has wasted more time, and been the source of more trading" During recent years thousands of pages of of Acts have been of this character, exceeding in volume the general acts five or six times. The framers of the constitu- ton in 1874 attempted to remedy the evil, but the provision adopted by them has proven inef- fectual. So garing has this evil become in re- cent years that it has passed into joke that the General Assembly spends most of it's time in legslating Johnson grass out of Greene coun- ty and green grass cut of Johnson county IL has been a recognized fact that frequently members are elected to the Legislature for the sole purpose of securing some local laws they were unable to secure through other channels Practically the whole volume of local legislation can be handled through other established agencies-as the county courts, the Corporation Commission the school authorities, or boards and commissions charged with jurisdiction over such matters. There is no more fertile field for the defeat of the peo- ple's wishes than the local legislation calendar of the General Assembly. There is seldom any oppotion to bills of this character, as other leg slators know nothing of their merits or local conditions, and blindly vote for the other fel- lows bill so the other fellow will vote for his.

It is further provided that lin all cases where general law is or can be made applicable, no local or special law shall be enacted" No general law shall be suspended for the benefit of any individual or corporation, shall any general law be changed by exemption into special law. Pub lcation of notice is required of all special acts permitted, and the courts shall provide void all

ELECTIONS AND FRANCHISE

Art. HI follows in the main text of the Con- stitution of 1874. Its changes include equal suffrage; quadrennal elections the creation of a non-partisan State Board of Election Commis- sioners; and provisions for non-resednt voting by electors in military naval service.
 The time honored principles of equality and freedom of elections restated and en- phasized and completely safeguarded. In ad- dition to the positive and expressed changes the new proposal is notable for omissions that strengthen it. For instance, the new Constitu ton provides that mo election officer shall be eligible to any civil office to be filled at the el- ection at which he shall serve" The old Con- stitution exempted such subordinate municipal or local officers, below the grade of city or county officers, thereby removing a source of possible corruption. Many have advocated reg stration of voters but this is prohibited by the present Constitution. In the new draft the pro- vision is omitted ''Nor shall any law be enact ed whereby the right to vote at any election shall be made to depend upon any previous reg stration of the electors name.' The old Con- stitution provides that the franchise may be ex- ercised by every 'male person who has declar ed his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States. This lets down the bars to aliens but the new constitution restricts the suffrage to citizens of the United States by emitting the quoted clause.

BREEDING RABBITS
 IN GREAT BRITAIN

Rabbit breeding in England has been undertaken by the government in an effort to relieve the shortage of meat due to the war, says London dis. patch.
 The National Utility Rabbit associ- ation, 1t was announced recently, has established central breeding station and stud exchange in Vauxhall, Lon don. The first club started in London under auspices of the association is at Royal News, Buckingham palace.
 The primary object is to build up as quickly as possible a large sApply of the best pedigree stock, which will be sent to the provincial breeding cen ters. These in turn will supply the breeding stock to smaller stations.
 Each of the larger provincial cen ters will have one hundred breeding does, while the smaller stations will keep on hand about twenty each It is the hope of the officials that all allotment societies, food production organizations, women's institutes and many factories, intuition works, sum- mer camps and schools will form rab- bit clubs to be affiliated with the na- tional association.
