 calcitrant.

From The Arkansas Gazette
 The Constitutional Convention cele- brated the nations natal day by de- claring for the complete emaneipa- tion of women, and clearing the decks for the declaration of the principle of quadriennial elections for all state, district and county officers.
 Anti-suffrage is no longer popa- lar political shibboleth, as 1t was m the legislatures not many years ago, and when it came to the final issue there was only one vote against the principle. It was east by Delegate E. r. Watson of Benton county Equal suffrage was granted women, so far as lies in the power of the convention, to the extent of permitting them to vote, hold office, and even to act as jurors.
 The only change that was made in the draft of the article on suffrage as proposed by the committee, was by Delegate Webber of Miller, whc secured the adoption of an amend ment providing that mo woman shal | be compelled to serve on any jury. This followed the defeat of an amend ment proposed by Delegate Lamb O Craighead that women shall not serv' as jurors. Mir. Lamb declared that h.
 offered the amendment as friend O
 suffrage, believing that jury servic
 is unsought. unsavory and unpleasan
 for women.
