CALL AN EXTRA SESSION.

The people of Arkansas should not stand quietly with their liquor laws as they are construed by the recent l decision of the supreme court.
 The Commercial Appeal is not criticising the decision of the supreme court. If the law was faulty, if it did not reach the end sought, the su- preme court was, under it's oath and under it's conscience, bound so to de- clare it.
 Now, when men seek to accom- plish certain things in representative governments, the means of the ac- complishment should be according to the law. It is necessary for the con- tinuance of the government by law.
 The governor of Arkansas should call at once an enxtra session of the legislature and have legislation passed that will prohibit the importa ton of liquor into the state for per sonal and private use.
 The right to bring in wine for sac rament or to bring in alcohol for arts is clearly distinct from bringing great quantities of liquor into the state to be used for the purpose of moderate or immoderate drinking.
 It would be better to have liquor sold under a license system in the state of Arkansas than to have a law prohibiting it's sale or manufacture in the state, but providing for it to be imported for boozing purposes. Men of legal ability ought now to prepare a bill which will cover the faults ascertained by the supreme court, get the governor to call the legislature, and enact it.
 There are a good many good things come out of Arkansas into Memphis and West Tennessee, but we want no liquor coming into Tennessee from Arkansas, and nine-tenths of the people of Arkansas at present want no great quantities of liquor going into that state from other states.
 And in times of national peril the country is not sufficiently strong in man power to permit even one per cent of it's men to impair their use fulness by weakening their physical and moral fiber because of drinking. Memphis Commercial Appeal.

$ The Memphis Commercial Appeal, a newspaper that aIways has the inter- estAof the entire south at heart, has, along with many good newspapers in Arkansas, voiced the necessity of Governor Brough calling a special session of the legislature for the pur- pose of remedying the defects of the bone-dry law or to draft new law that will stand up. The appeal for the governor to take this step is be- coming stronger every day. Already the i'll effects resulting from the leak jn the law have become visible in ev- ery section of the state, and we be- lieve . majority of the people would sSnnction the action of the governor II calling the legislature in, special 1ession.

Beloved, dear, l am glad there
