PIPE LINE SNEERS.

HE story Of money loss and the physical suffering in
this city last winter during the long periods when the
supply of natural gas insufficient to keep the fires
burning does not seem very real when the temperature is
soaring and humanity is sweterng but it was real enough
at the time. and the Public Service commission and the
officers Of the pipe line companies will do well to rsmem
Der that if the present effort to remedy is wsuc
cessul to The point that there is repetition Of it during
the coming winter public opinion will force the legislature
to take hand in the matter and good many things might
happen if that occurs.
The most exasperang thing about the shortage Of gas
in West Virginia is the fact that there has been no de-
crease in the output Of West Virginia gas 1t is increased
consumption beyond our borders that causes all the trouble
The demand Of West Virginia citizens that they be per-
mited to have enough Of West Virginia gas to meet their
needs is entirely reasonable 1t is founded upon common
sense and if the people show that they are sufficiently in
earnest way will be found to make the pipe line COM
panes manage their business in accordance with the local
demand although their attorneys now do not regard ser-
ousy the associations which the people Of West Virginia
have formed part Of their effort to protect themselves
The snees for these associations which the gas company
attorneys make no effort to conceal are typical Of the whole
attitude Of the pipe line companies towards the people Of
West Virginia. They must be made to change ;heir tune

NO TIME FOR CONSTITUTION

From Lonoke County Democrat
 Leon Springs Training Camp,
 Camp Stanley. Texas,
 April 18th. 1918 To the People of Lonoke County
 Friends:-Some few weeks ago when 1 visited home on a sick leave 1 rendered my resig nation as Delegate to the Con stitutional Convention and Rep resentative of Lonoke county.
 1 felt it my imperative duty to resign these positions, because 1 was serving in the Military Ser vice of the United States Coy ernment and may be called for duties abroad at any time, which would prevent me from perform ing the important duties attach ed to these offices.
 1 think the Legislature acted wisely when they passed the law calling the Convention, and so far 1 haven't changed my mind. If 1 were still a member the first thing 1 would do when the Convention met would be to introduce resolution to adjourn Sine Die" Honestly and sin cerely I believe this is not the proper time to write a Constitu- tion.
 Already fifteen or twenty thou sand young men have left the state and joined the colors and possibly that many more will leave before the time comes to vote on the adoption or rejection of the instrument that is written by the Members of the Conven tion, which will prevent them from participating in the election that tends to form the basic laws of their state.
 We were advised in the Legis lat1re that the expense of hold ing this election would cost the state one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars or more. It seems to me that this large surn of money could be used to a bet ter advantage in paying off the states present debts rather than squander it on a game of chance. If a Constitution must be writ ten 1 think at least we should wait until this sea of fire we are engaged in with our blood and property is quenched We know not what changes 1t will bring about.
The Carlisle independent., 1918-05-02

1 take this method of thanking my friends from the bottom of my heart for electing me to these honOred positions, and 1 assure you l shall never forget your log- atty. and hope that I may live long enough to reciproeate.
 1 think the Governor appoint ed able men to fill the offices I resigned from, and 1 assure you it will be their honest purpose to serve the great State of Arkan- Sas.
 Within the past sixty days 1 have received several letters from my friends askidg me to let my name go on ticket for State Senator, believing that 1 would not be disappointed in the results. Although it Is my de sire and ambition to run for this office, 1 felt like I owed a great duty to my country in this great crisis. I appreciate the faith and confidence my friends have in me, and 1 assure you 1 shall never betray that trust but un der present circumstances 1 am not a candidate for any office. Us boys hope to return home some of these days to live and start life anew. When that time comes 1 am sure you will not have for gotten me.
 With best wishes for all, 1 am,
 Your friend.
