AMENDMENT NO. Is

There are several very important constitutional amendments that the voters of Arkansas will be called upon to adopt or reject in the gen. eral election to he held on Tuesday, November 2, among them being Amendment No. 15, providing for an increase in the number of Su- preme Court judges from five to seven and a small increase Tn the salaries paid the supreme judges. The Courier-Index most heartily en- dorses this amendment and sincere lv trusts the voters of Lee county will overwhelmingly approve it, For many years prior to the time Chief Justice Hill and Chief Justice Me Culloch went on the bench, the su- preme court was from one to three years behind with it's work. Cases tried in the lower courts and ap- pealed to the supreme court remain ed on the docket so long, in many instances. that litigants grew weary of waiting and issues involving the disposition of estates were so long delayed in settlement that often IT. reparable injury was done to those depending upon the outcome of the decision of the supreme court.

more than five members In none of them does the court render any tbing like the number of written opinions that are rendered Tn Ar kansas.
 Arkansas cannot expect 10 mann tain her supreme court on hgn standard unless her people are Will ing to pay reasonable compenSa- tion for the services of judges The business of the court is increasing as rapidly as the states resources and industries are being developed This means that every year there is a big increase in the volume of litigation that come before the court. It is rank injustice to ex- pect men capacitated by years of training, education, experience and learning to seek positions on the states highest judicial tribunal un- less they can get at least a hving remuneration for their services.
 The Courier-Index believes the people of Lee county will imme- diately see the necessity for adopt ing Amendment No. b and confl- dently expects to see this constltu- tional provision receive big ma iority in the forthcoming election.

During recent years, however, the court, under the very able d. rection of Chief Justice Hill who was succeeded by Chief Justice F.. A. McCulloch, has made remark able record in that, by almost su- perhuman efforts the judges have cleared up all the old cases and have kept we'll up with their work. Now cases appealed to the supreme court are decided within reasonable length of time. But this condition has been brought about by the ex- traordinary efforts of the five judges now on the bench. They work from early morn until late at night. Judge McCulloch has set fast pace for his associates. He has inspired them to a point, at times, almost beyond their physical endurance. The records show the supreme court of Arkansas is turning out more opln- ions than the courts of any of the neighboring states. It IS doing It with a fewer number of judges and at a less expense to the state than are the supreme courts in other states.
 No reputable lawyer would con sider doing the amount of work the members of the Arkansas supreme court do for the salary of $4,00t a year. Back fifteen or twenty ol thirty years ago when this salary limit was fixed it was no doubt con sidered above the average for gooo lawyer, but certainly it is mere bagatelle now. Amendment No. l. provides for an increase in the mum Der of judge from five to seven ant fixes the salary at $6,00O. In OK lahoma the judges receive S6,O0O In Missouri S6,000. In Louisiana S8.OO0.

When General Emilio Aguinaldo was

Of Washington and would be given a
great reception at the famous Con-
gressional Club And that the wives

her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen.
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives Of the Am
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.
"AIiss Aguinaldo val simply delight

On another occasion while in Wash
ington Miss Aguinaldo was given a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited my Last Fare
WELL" poem Of DR.. Jose Rial, the Fill
ipino martyr.
Miss Aguinaldo is a student at the
University of Illinois, Urbana, III.
While in Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime G. deveyra, wife
Of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Filipino, while the beautiful sights
ed her with delight. When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
swered:
ut is q wonderful country. I didn't
like winter at first, but since ! have
learned how to skate l am having fine
times. All the Americans whom I have
met have been very good to me My
friends In Urbana and my classmates
in the university are just lovely. but l
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because l am missing my father. My
coming here was indeed a great sacri-
fee for him, for we are very close. He
Is so good to me-"
Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal her resentment

Fortunate" she nee exclaimed In q
voice full Of sadness, "that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood. by the people of Am.

Politics is tabooed In any converse
ton with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All l can say" she
declares, "is that I share with my
father In he desire for Independence
for my native land. There Is no ques-
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
a genuine Filipino temperament
that is, she does not believe In the oc-
| cidental custom of dates between
young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong in 1t. she says, but
1t is such a violent departure from the
custom In the Philippines that she can.
not adopt 1t.
"You might laugh at me-" she said,
but l cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperoned. l simply can't.

soul of q Filipino"
A newspaper In n Of the large Am
erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit
ed expressed the opinion that she
would no doubt be greatly impressed
by the sight Of street cars and some Of
the fine residences she would see, but
the truth is the young lady was raised
in Manila, where she has seer an up-
tO-date street car system all her life.

Castillo. st. Agatha was favorils
saint in England and the shears
with which she was mutilated are
the symbols carved on many an old
wooden church calendar.
For that reason Agatha became
one Of the most popular feminine
names of England. It's vogue be-
came SO great that like all names
in common use, it was applied a.
most generically to the servant
class. Agatha is the name of the
interesting maid-servant in South
ev's Doctor" But of late years. It
has leaped to prominent revival
among the most aristocratic circles
aud the list Of Honorable Agathas'
includes daughter OF almost every
titled house in Great Britain.
France likes the name and botn
Italy and Spain have taken 1t with
out change with the exception q
the aspirate which they cannot pro-
nounce. Portugal calls it Agneds.

Not Much of a Split.

Mr. Bryan has thrown cold water upon et-
forts to create the impression that there is
any radical difference between his views upon
treaty ratification and those Of the president.
I'VE both want immediate ratification Of the
peace treaty and speedy establishment Of
the League Of Nations" he said. ut is simply
a difference of opinion over method and not
q purpose.
There is no reason why advocacy Of a
compromise should be interpreted as opposi-
ton to the president Mr.. Wilson is an official
and his recommendations travel by their own
weight.
"The constitution gives the president the
right to make recommendations to congress.
1t gives congress the right to disregard these
recommendations just as 1t empowers congress
to pass the laws and the president to veto
them"
Mr.. Bryan said IS senator's favor ratihca-
ton Of the treaty but differ as to reservations.
He advocated compromise so as to keep the
treaty from becoming campaign issue.
The president, as David Lawrence pointed
out in his Washington letter in The Argus,
favors submission OF the treaty question to
the people only as a last resort to save it from
defeat through changes which alter its essen
tial form. The difference between the two
leaders is so slight that 1t need cause Demo
Gratis no particular concern.

CURLING the Auto Revolutionist.

For obvious reasons the outlaw who uses
q motor car is about the most difficult propo-
sition the police have to deal with. Speed,
range facilities offered for changes of attire
and concealing weapons and booty are factors
that the professional thief has been quick to
take advantage OF in this country.
In Ireland the automobile has been serving
the ends of the revolutionists equally WE'LL
The English, however, are taking hold Of the
question with characteristic vigor. Recently
an order became effective requiring owners
and drivers of automobiles in ireland to apply
to the police for permits Applicants must
furnish photos and records OF themselves
and their cars. OF course only those known to
be loyal are granted permits. Where no appl-
cation is made the car is liable to seizure and
conhscation.
Naturally enforcement of this rule has not
tended to promote harmony in the Emerald
isle. but since the automobile is not SO common
there as 1t is here the government probably
will be able to go through with its program.

AGATHA.

AUa Nhs
Agatha, the good old English
favorite, has a distinctly Greek
origin. 1t comes from the Greek
word meaning good. For a long
time it remained Indigenous 10
Greece. but finally came to Euro
pean fame through Sicilian girl
called Agatha, who was tortured to
death at Rome in the Decian perse-
cLtion. Sicily straightway made
her a guardian saint and since that
little island has always proved a
bone OF contention between warning
European countries. and was held
successfully, for periods OF greater
or less duration, by the Greeks,
Saracens, Normans, French. ARA
gonese, Spaniards and Bourbons,
the name of St. Agatha spread
throughout Europe.
st. Agatha's festival day is celc-
brated in the churches Of all the
countries which held Sicily for a
time. Even Russia has adopted
the name and calls it Agatla.
Agatha was the name borne by the
daughter of William the Con-
Queror who was betrothed to the
ur fortunate Earl Edwin and die.

Color Blindness.
There il NO color in nature. What
We call red 10 . sensation In the
retina or sensitive iilm in the back
Of the eye produced by the longest
light waves, and what we call
orange. yellow. green, blue. indigo
and violet are sensations produced
by light waves shorter and shorter
in length. When the wave becomes
too short for the eye to register, its
invisible power is still capable OF
causing chemical changes, in the
body and outside Of the body, as
ultraviolet rays and X-rays. Sun
light and all forms Of artificial light
are combinations Of light waves of
varying length. The light Of the
sun may be fractured in passing
through q prism Of glass, breaking

trum-of the colors mentioned.
This may happen on a large scale
when the sun shines through rain
drops, producing the rainbow OF

else order from end to the other.

Four per cent OF males ard less

males are more or less color blind,
that is, they are unable to distin-

colors of the spectrum. A very few
are totally color blind, unable to
recognize color, seeing everything

is not a color.
In ability to distinguish red and
green is the most frequent. Indi-
viduals may be born with this in
ability, inherited almost invariably
from the mother. While colorblind
males almost never have color
blind children, their daughters

will have color-blind sons. This
transmission of the defect reminds
us that hleedcrs show the same pc
