stood solidly upon the platform enun-

the old constitution prevented it
from being known as the abolition
convention.
1t tried to abolish the legislature,
and really did at one time, but
thought better of it and reconsidered.
Then it tried to abolish county
judges, by transferring their jurisdicg
tion and making them lawyers, and
other requirements which the ma
jority did not accept
Chancellors came under the disap-
prevail of the Abolitionists, led by
r. S. Warnock of Magnolia, who
contended that they are a useless
appendage on official affairs, that
they do not work long enough to
earn their salaries, and that their
duties ought to be transferred to the
circuit judges.
But ne did not receive much sup
port
Delegate j. S. Belote of Hot
Springs led the fight to abolish the
county treasurer, who, he claimed, is
a useless luxury that costs the tax
payers of the state 100000 year.

to provide for one justice for every

was affected for one for every 900,
instead OF zoo qualified voters, which
takes into consideration tho doubling
of the elect crate by the adoption of
suffrage
There is still pending an assault
upon the quorum courts, in propo-
sition for the substitution of COM
mission form of government for the
counties
At first, this was designed as a
mandatory provision upon the whole
state, but it was changed to an op-
tional proposition to be accepted by
those counties which desire to make
the change.
Then the convention has made an
effort to abolish the political machine
by prohibiting state officers from
succeeding themselves or running for
any other office during their term
1t remains to be seen how this will
work out in practice.
There are two big campaigns in
Arkansas this month that must be
gotten out of the way before the next

An intensive campaign is being
made by the Emergency Council on
Education to keep the attendance in
school and college up to the standard
that there may be no shortage OF
trained men and women during the
rest OF the war, and after the war is
over. This is vital TO the CONNER
cial, educational. Industrial and soy
cial welfare of the nation.
Another campaign is that under
taken to raise 100000 in the state
for the erection of girls industrial
school and woman's reformatory.
The government has agreed to add
$4,000 to this fund. The state is
back of the movement, and will
manage the institutions when COM
pleted, under the provisions of an
act passed by the last legislature.
This movement has been endorsed
by the state council of defense as a
war measure, and will receive the
support of the county, councils. The
state is to be thoroughly organized
