I I. [ CC. NI'I'RAE FAVORSS
 AMENDMENT NO. l5
Governor Elect Reviews History of Supreme Court and Tells Why Its Members Should be Increased
 by Two Judges.

Little Rock, Oct, 12.--Colonel I. C.. McRae, Democratic nominee for gov ernor, has announced that he is em- phatically in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 15 at the November election. In letter to J. H. Carmich- ael he says:
 Replying to your favor in reference to Amendment No. 15 providing for the increase of the membership of the Supreme Court from five to seven judges, you are advised that in my opinion this amendment should be adopted. The platform upon which l am nominated commits the party to this amendment and l personally favor the increase in the number of the judges.
 "The. Constitution of 1874 provided for a Supreme Court of three judges, when we had only eleven Circuit Courts with the further provision that when the population of the state reached one million the legislature might increase the number of judges from three to five Acting under this authority, the legislature of 1889 pro- vided for two additional judges. Since that time the population of the state has increased more than three quart CTS of million and the work of the court has doubled. Any case, no mat ter how small the amount involved, may be appealed directly to this court from any of the 21 Circuit Courts and any of the 12 Chancery Courts, and it is imperative that cases be decided promptly. This amendment provides that the legislature may increase the number of judges to seven, and think the prompt administration of justice will De promoted by it's adoption.p

500 HOMELESS IN
 PINE BLUFF, ARK.
City Is Scene of Devastation by Fire That Destroys Fifty
 Four Homes.

Pine Bluff, oct. Nearly 500 people are homeless here, some sit ting woefully on guard over a trunk, a bureau of whatever comprises the little household furniture, others are wandering aimlessly around in the de- vastated district trying to find a place to sleep. Still others have no clothes, but those they wear-and are victims of a sweeping confagration that in two hours this afternoon moved down eight blocks of negro residen- tial district, destroying 54 homes, two occupied by whites.
 Only the dying out of brisk south east and entrenchmcnt tactics of fire fighting checked the fire and prevented it from spreading into the Cotton Belt shop district.
 So thickly situated were dwellings in the negro section that an accurate check of the number of houses de stroyed was not completed until late tonight and estimates of the entire loss based on the destruction of 54 homes were placed at between two and three hundred thousand dollars.

In the political history Of the state,
assures us OF the future republican,
Inn OF New Mexico, and the reasons
are quite apparent to all observers.
The democrats campnigncd almost
eotlrcly on the mine tax issue. and
that issue simply drew the attention
OF the voter to the elements now IN
control OF the democratic state orgnni-
zttion. n those elements being Of
the dangerously radical class, the in
tclligcnt voters of the state simply
did the propcr thing-and voted the
republican ticket FOR the second time.
Two years ago the socialists II
alt the radical elements of the state
wtnt into the democratic party and
drove out thousands OF old line DEM
ocrats. The democratic party mot it's
fiji n complete defeat since statehood,
tho conservative democrats refusing
to support the radlcalism Of the state
organization.
This year those radical elements
made II plain Ia all observers that
they were still In control and propus-
ed to remain In control. The cnudi-
date FOR governor on the democratic
ticket adopted ns his principal cam
puign issue the most dangerous Of
an the radical political tcncutg-cou-
flrcation by taxation.
II i now well Understood that tho
Arizona taxation Hystcm Is The result
Of the efforts Of the followers Of cN-
Governor Hunt to cunfiscato property
for the state through taxation. Tho
beginning was made on the big min
Ing corporations, because corpora
lions have few friends, but as the
system was extended to cover other
I classes OF property, and WIS found
to bear the hardest on the snall mine
operators. there was "a revolution
against those ~rcgponulblc. and that
state went entirely democratic last
J Tuesday. Sew Mexico will stay re-

cratic organization In Sew McNiru and

And In tho meantime the STATE will be

MEXICAN STABILITY

EVIDENCES accumulate that Mexico is settling down into peace
II full, safe, and stable life. The latest testimony ia this effect comes
- from the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. 1t reports
that more than a hundred American houses have begun business in
Mexico in the last two years. Besides this, numerous American
manufacturers and merchants, rs we'll as chambers of commerce and
other associations are making inquiry concerning the Mexican credit
situation, the volume of business, the attitude of American concerns
and other. important phases o. the general trade situation across the
Rio Grande.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City reports
that banks and commercial agents report that in every part of Mexico
business is better than it ever has been, and that Americans in Mex
leo feel greatly encouraged.
If his Testimony had come from political sources likely to be in
hucnced by the present Mexican government, it would be necessary
t odiscount it: but coming, rs it does, from American business men
located in Mexico, who are reporting for the benefit of their colleagues
in the United States, it must be accepted as representing actual con.
ditions.
The recognition of the present McXcan regime by the United
States government requires only such Il demonstration of stable con
ditions a. this report seems to indicate.
New Embarrassing mode reveals the fact that women actually
have ears.
