Little Rock, Aug. 5.-The new Con- stitution is being written.
 Someone has said that the Conven- tion will go down in history as the reconsideration Convention to which the retort was made that 1t IS better to reconsider while there is yet time to correct a mistake, rather than let it go until it is too late.
 And so it happens that there are great many propositions reconsidered after they have been passed upon and adopted.
 A rev proposition is presented, like the unicameral or one-house system of legislation proposed by Delegate C.. E. Daggett of Lee county Its mer- its are presented most alluringly by it's proponents. and many members are carried eff their feet by the prospects of inaugurating an ideal condition of things that will remedy all the evils of the body polite
 And perhaps, it is so chimerical and ;mnracticable that the conservative membership does not realize the d9' ger until it is too late, and the hypno- tized ma ajority have voted for its adop- tion.
 Then a reconsideration becomes in evitable
 third potent cause for reconsider ation may be traced to popular ols- approyal of some action that has been taken by the Convention. And when the lawmakers begin to hear from "up at the forks of the creek, they begin to suspect that they may have been too nasty in their conclusions.
 And again reconsideration IS a nec- assitx. or at least a political eXpedlent, which often amounts to the same thing.
 As matter of fact, in re9onsldefa- tiop is ound one of the chief sources of strenoth in the organic law that IS being framed
 For that reason, many of the hard and fast parliamentry dead-loeks that are set for the enactment of statues are being ignored by the Constitution al Convention in writing Constltu- tion.
 It is an instrument that is to last for the next forty or fifty years, or navbe longer, and therefore it has to be drawn with as great dellberation as possible.
 Many revolutionary changes that at first have had considerable follow inp have been discarded on sober sec ond thought. On practically everyone of these, the statement has been mace on the floor by some opponent ol the

The members and employees of the Constitutional Convention are serving without pay, and have been since ten days ago when tke S25,00e appropria- tion was exhausted Not even the pages or the stenographers are get ting any compensation for their ser 4ices.
 It is all a matter of patriotism with the remote prospect that the next Legislature will pass deficien cy appropriation bill to take care of the expenses of the body.
 If the Constitution is adopted, and most of the members think it will be, it should be aH easy matter to get an appropriation through. but if 1t IS de- feated-and some of the members themselves consistently make predie tiens to that effect on the floor,-it may not be so easy.
 And there is nothing definite about the time that will yet be required to finish the work of the Convention.
 There are many important questions not vet determined, and the predie- tion is made by many delegates that the Convention will be in session for the whole month of August.
 Senator J. s Utley of Saline county, has been an avowed candidate for the Presidency of the next Senate since the close of the last session He has, mt been making much fuss about it, but he is candidate just the same, and says that he will be heard from at the proper time.

measure that If this is put in the Constitution, it will not be ratified by the people"
 If all these lugubrious predictions are true5 or a small part of them,n said J. " Walker of Fayetteville, ," then the Constitution is already de- feated." And J. D. Head of Miller pleaded that the ship should not be scuttled before 1t is launched"
 But, taken as a whole, the Ccn5titu- tion appeals to those who have studied 1t carefully, as reasonably safe and sane document Radicalism does not occupy very large place in its pro- visions
 Judge J. H. Evans of Logan, one of the most effective floor leaders O the Convention, has fsvorite expression that carries weight on ma occasions That's all right,-eopy of the old Constitution"
 But sometimes the expression strikes cross-grain, as when dele gate asked the other day, Well, is the old Constitution so sacred that we cannot change or amend it? Must we swallow 1t just because it IS old?
 Ard yet the old Corstitrtion is be- ing accepted by majority of the d,le gates as a pretty safe harbor from the storm of untried experiment and r ct ty theories.
 Many are demanding the precedent of success before they are willing to engraft theories. however alluring, upon the instrument that is to last for several generations.

The General Assembly has come through the Constitutional Coryen- tion with comparatively few scars. At one time it had been abolished in fa- yor of a House of Delegates of s members. but the Convention thought better of it, and put 1t back to 100 members for the House and 30 mem bers for the Senate, to be based as nearly as possible upon the popula- tion. The session of 19191 following the adoption of the new Constitution, promises to be a long one, since no limitation is placed upon 1t, as so many new laws must be enacted m line with the new Coa st '.ution. But after that, beginning with 1921, quadrennial short sessions of thirty days shall be held. at which only general appropfIa- ton measures and the management Of state offices and institutions shall be held. and beginning with 1923 quad rennial long term or sixty day ses- sions. shall be held, for the consider ation of any matter of legislation not specifically prohibited-in the article on local Legislation. The members are to be paid a salary of 5000 for the four years term.

Germans Spar For Time;
Hope For Slack in Drive

Paris-The Partisan newspaper. La
Liberte, publishes a dispatch from its
Berne correspondent describing a
meeting there on October Z between
an official and influential German
parsonage now in Switzerland and the
German propaganda agents.
The German parsonage in question
explained fully the disadvantages of
defending the ground in France and
Belgium with the immense losses and
consequent Generalization. and the
ALTERNATIVES scheme of diplomatic with
drawal. He showed that the time
necessary for evacuation and negotia-
tions with two added winter months:
would give ample scope for a renewal
of the German army. thanks to the
material obtained by the efforts of
both empires, and from Russia. He
also mentioned the probability of a
slackening. in the fighting spirit of the
Allies, owing to the interruption of
hostilities. and possibly the loosening
of the bonds between the Allied pow
ers, caused by the ventilation of diff
ferences of opinion.
1t was evident. he insisted, that the
great thing was to keep the ball of
conversation going. The war, which
would recommence in the spring of
1919 would have totally different
character in the eyes OF the German
people to that OF 1914, which many
had regarded as war of ambition.
The new struggle would be clearly
one for national existence For tho
German people to get this idea would
require great efforts on the part of
the German agents and press who
should present 1t as necessary to show
disinterestedness and desire to give
peace back to the world.
The parsonage warned his hearers
that pan-German catch phrases must
be heard no more while at the same
time assuring them that IL Austria
would put hors de combat. her Skoda
works would continue providing mu-
nitions to Germany.

mo WOMEN IN HEAveNy

Cleveland, O.-"Feminine personal
ity does not exist in heaven" is the
belief of Mrs. d. d. Butcher, teacher
of individual science. which aims at
the perfection of true mating, MIS-.
Butcher says:
woman goes to heaven after death
but becomes part of man.
"The theory involved in Individual
science is that the sun as male, Is the
true mate of the earth, as female.
The earth is the producer. without
the sun there would be no progency.
"On earth men ara women must be-
come perfect before perfection Of
spiritual body can be obtained.
Woman was created In Adam and
in the reflection Of him. Man and wo-
man unite In forming the spiritual
body. They retain their identity, but
remain as one"
Mrs. Butcher doesn't believe woman
subordinate to men. She says each
has seperate duty to perform. She
selects as her pupils girls and young
women.
