ly been expressed that the lord may or's death might cause demonstra- tion at the prison.
 The MacSwiney family arranged during the morning for the removal of the body from the prison to St. Georges Cathedral in London as soon as the inquest was ended. The body will lie in state there until it is taken to Dublin, where 1t is planned to place it for a day or two in the Mansion House.
 A friend of the MacSwiney family who accompanied Mrs. MacSwiney when she visited Brixton prison this morning said the lord mayors tele- gram of October IS to the Cork hun ger strikers with reference to the death of the hunger striker, Michael Fitzgerald, in Cork jail, in which he referred to Fitzgerald as having died for his country and joined the immor- tals, characterized the family's at titude.
 Mrs. MacSwiney and the lord may or's sisters, Annie and Mary, who were not present when the end came, entered the cell, kissed the mayors cheek, knelt silently in prayer few moments and then left" the frierd said. "There was not tear shey by the mayoress, who preserved the same stoical self-possession she has shown throughout the long ordeal"

radical as 1t places the final control of legislation in the hands of a major ity of the people, and it cannot be an experiment as most of it's best fea- lures that are new to the Arkansas State Constitution have long been in force in the constitutions of all but eleven of the forty-eight states in the Union.
 The great value of proposed Amendment No. 13 to the people of Arkansas is tersely given by MT. Bryan in the following words: Its provisions are in line with the best modern practice, and will correct the mistakes made in its original amend ment now in force and give the peo- pie of Arkansas power to govern themselves in both state and local affairs
 Can the importance of this amend ment be set forth clearer? Those who are not afraid or unwilling to trust to the judgment of the whole people to make their laws can SUD- port No. 13 with their whole heart. Those who are afraid or unwilling to trust them will not favor it.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 13

The proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 13 which will ap- pear on ballot at the State Elec- tion Tuesday, November 2nd, should be adopted as a most important non partisan measure is generally admit ted by those who have publicly eX- pressed themselves. Indeed, it goes before the voters with less opposition than any constitutional amendment that we can remember. Its non-par- tisanship seems to be established from it's being warmly endorsed by the Democrat, Republican and Social ist nominees for Governor.
 The State Central Committees of the Democrat and Republican parties mutually agreed that it should be adopted, and urge this upon their supporters.
 Mr. McRae, Mr. Townsend and MT. Busseler, the candidates for Govern or on the Democratic, Republican and Socialists tickets have heartily en- dorsed Amendment No. 13 as essen tial to the progress of the State.
 Hon. Wm J. Bryan and Senator Robert Owen, both well and favora- bly known in Arkansas, and who are well acquainted with the political conditions in Arkansas, have careful ly studied Amendment No. 13 and each of these gentlemen pronounce it as calculated to give this state a real peoples government.
 Congressman T. H. Caraway, re- gently nominated by the Democratic party of this state for the office of United States Senate, unhesitatingly says that with Amendment No. 13 in force that troubles we have had with special legislation will be eliminated
 The State Democratic Platform urges it's adoption at the November election. Judges of the Supreme Court of Arkansas speak highly of it's provisions. The State Superin- tendent of Public Education gives it his endorsement. The files of the Initiative and Referendum League of Arkansas contain hundreds of let ters from men of nearly all profes- sions and lines of business in Arkan- sas warmly commenting 1t.
 Thousands of farmers and wage earners in Arkansas have signed pc titions that Amendment No. 13 be made law.
 The dfnlefS oCdle OHl0H anu IHe Arkansas State Federation of Labor have, in their conventions, endorsed Amendment No. 13 without a dis. senting vote.
 The leading newspapers of Arkan- sas are supporting Amendment No 13 and, as far as we have been able to learn, the country weekly papers are favoring it.
 At first the impression was preva lent that Amendment No. 13 is radi cal in it's provisions, but it cannot bs

A HELLUVA TIME FOR A FIRE

In a Western town some time ago a fire occurred at about ? a. m. and in this town, the story says, live an old man. The usual noise incident to a fire in a small town awakened the old man, and he rushed into the street and accosted passerby with the eX- clamation, "This is a helluva time O night to have a fire" The ridicu- lousneSs of the exclamation struck the passerby, and for long time af- ter the fire was the source of consid- erable levity on the part of his fel- low-townsmen.. The ridiculousness of the exclamation, however, was not near so ridiculous as the cause Of many of the fires continually being reported as a result of carelessness. The point in this we want to drive home is that a defective fiue, trash or rubbish pile about the premises in- side or out, defective electric wiring, a wooden ash receptacle, a wooden cuspidor, a match, cigar or cigarette stub carelessly thrown away, gasoline carelessly handled, are just the very things that help to start blaze at "a helluva time O night for fire" ," But had you stopped to think that any time was just that kind of a time. Fires wait for no man, the blaze starts any time and at all times. So lest you have "a helluva fire" at a sshelluva time,', be careful, study and practice fire prevention and help us stop at least seven out of every ten fires that might occur. Sure, 1t can be done and will be done if you do we'll your part.

TO PROBE P. o. SERVICE
United States Has Employed Corps of
 Efficiency Experts

New York, Oct. 17.-Uncle Sam has hired efficiency engineers to in- vestigate the postal service from top to bottom and find out where and how it can be improved. He ordered them to consider construction of postoffices as workshops instead of monu- ments" and to recommend ways of ef- fecting economics in cost and eXpe- dition in the handling of mail"
 Every cog in the mail-moving ma chine, from the rickety rural delivery wagon on the stump -cluttered coun- try lane to the roaring airplanes that carry letters between the bigger ci- ties will be put under the critical eye of the efficiency engineer.

around Brixton prison until after 9 o'clock. The usual large contingent of police was on duty inside the pris- on grounds to prevent any demonstra- tion, but outside and along the road leading to the main highway there were no unusual signs of activity. No civilians were waiting there, as they usually did in the early days of the lord mayors hunger strike.
 It is probable the inquest will be held at the prison today, after which the body will be turned over to rel ativeS

Unconscious 36 Hours

MaeSwiney was unconscious for 36 hours before his death occurred, it is stated. Father Dominic therefore was unable to give him communion but he administered extreme unction.
 The cause of MacSwiney's death was heart failure, according to a statement issued at the home office.
 This statement is considered an in- direct answer to the criticisms of Dr. Josiah Oldfeld, the physician and publicist, who had declared it was wrong for the lord mayors doctors to administer meat juice and brandy. He said brandy was poison and that a man at the point of death was very susceptible to poison. Dr. Oldfeld added that when a man lasted a long time the first food he could en- dure was fruit juice.
 When one of the officials was asked today regarding Mrs. MacSwiney s absence from the bedside when death occurred, he replied by saying the re- stmctions which were recently inn posed upon the visits of relatives were urged by the attending physicians as vital to the prisoners own interests

Author And Playwright

Terence MacSwiney was 48 years old and one of the most prominent Sim Feiners. He started life as a draper's assistant, but became poet, author and a playwright before tking up politics seriously. Later he be- came violently anti-English.
 While in Wakefield jail, Yorkshire, in 1916, he met Muriel Murphy, daughter of wealthy Cork distiller, who visited the jail, and shortly after they were married, despite much op- position.
 MacSwiney was elected as a Sim Fein member from Cork of the Brit ish parliament in 1918, but never took his seat. He was present at the first session of the Irish parliament in 1919, when the establishment of the republic was confirmed, and was elect ed lord mayor of Cork in 1920.
 For various political offenses, he had been in jail with brief intervals of liberty, since January 1916, and in October, 1917, secured his release from jail by hunger striking.
 AS soon as the news of the lord mayors death began to spread through the city small knots of people began moving toward Brixton prison The police, however, did not allow any one to move into the street lead ing to the prison entrance, keeping the people moving so that the crowd would not form. Fears had previous

MAC SWINEY ANOTHER IRISH MARTYR; DIES ON 73RD DAY
 OF FAST

London, Oct. 25.-Terence Mac Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, died at Brixton prison, this city, at $40 o'clock this morning. His death fol- lowed hungerstrike of m3r2 than 73 days, eclipsing any in the annals of the medical world.
 MacSwiney, who had been uncon- scious for several days, did not recov- CT his faculties before he died. Father Dominic, his private chaplain, and his brother, John MacSwiney, were with him when the end came. Father Dom mic was at the prison all night and did not leave until several hours after MacSwiney breathed his last.
 John MacSwiney and the chaplain who had been visiting down stairs in the prison were told by prison off, cials at 4:35 o'clock that they should go to the mayors bedside, as they thought death was approaching. The brother asked for the privilege of communicating with other relatives who were not present, but the officials it is said refused him the use of tel ephone.

Sends News to Widow

After the prisoners death, his brother and the chaplain were not permitted to leave Brixton prison un- til 6:15 o'clock John MacSwiney inn mediately conveyed word to the wid- ow of the lord mayor, who was stay ing at a West End hotel with Mir. and Mrs. O'Brien, the former being the London executive of the Irish Self De- termination League.

Greek Successes

The large measure of success al
ready attained by the Greek armies
against the Turks agrees we'll with
the promises held out by Premier
Venizelos when he offered the serv-
ices of his nation to the Allies. The
entry into Adrianople is viewed by
the Christian populations Of the Bal
kan region as the symbol of their
emancipation from the Turkish yoke
and the shrinkage of Moslem power.
In Asia Minor as well, success has
attended Greek arms and Greece ap-
pears to be remaking the map Of the
Near East in a way that should bring
peace and liberty to thousands of
people who have been forced to live
under the hateful and alien yoke of
the Sultan. The lack of resistance
which is met by the Greeks and the
virility which the Hellenic soldiers
are displaying are hopeful signs for
the future of that historic part of the
world.

The Leagues HOPE Of Utility,

THE only hope of the Leagues
utility for peace is in a change of its
center of gravity from a military to a
judiciary organization" This from
an authority on international law and
ambassadorial experience merits at
tention. Few men are as well quail
fed to discuss this matter as is David
Jayne Hill, one time ambassador to
Germany and author of several works
on international law.
AS temporary chairman Of the Re-
publican state convention at Sara
toga, yesterday. he took occasion to
reply to Wilson's efforts to make the
League dominant issue in the cam
paign. and eulogizing Elihu Root and
what he has been doing at the Hague,
he declared for the substitution of
judicial action in place of political
expediency and military force" this to
be done without compromising the
constitution Of the United States. He
stripped away the disguise under
which the Democrats are attempting
to divert the attention Of the country
from the real issues at stake, as in

At conference between several

They particularly protest. he says,
the fact that several of the lower paid
classes received the smallest increase.
that however, they believe that the
proper thing to do is to accept the
award in accordance with sthe spirit

new requests for readjustments.

we'll as to all of the American peo-
pie who must foot the bill.
One of the forms which dissatisfac-
ton takes with this wage award is
that it be accepted and new cam
paign for another big increase of Wa
ges started. That would be nothing
more than an attempt TO start an
other great cycling climb in the costs
Of living. 1t is even now a question
whether the increased freight rates
to follow the increased wages will not
SO enter into and advance general
living costs as largely or entirely to
offset the gain to these wage workers
themselves.
There are still millions Of workers
who have had no wage increase at
all. They can stand no more in pay
ing for further increases to others.
They are proving it by the slump al
ready noticeable in the country's
buying power. But the question here
is. how much more can the favored
workers stand? Where is the process
getting them? How do they ex-
pect to get ahead of the cost of living
through new wage additions when by
the very fact of making these de-
mands they acknowledge that the
cost of living has been treading the
heels of prior wage additions?
1t will never do. 1t is a hopeless
course. 1t is merely running around
in circle. There is no other way
for the railroad or other workers to
better themselves now except to
buckle down to work on the basis Of
the wages presently at hand.
