have 'em. That's almost as good isn't
it?".
Dirk commenced his studies at Mid
west university in the autumn of 1909.
His first year was none too agreeable.
as4is usually the case in first years.
He got on well, though. Before the
end OF the first semester he was popu-
lar. He had great natural charm of
manner. rhe men liked him, and the
girls, too. He rarely "cut" class. He
would have felt that this was unfair
and disloyal to his mother. Some of
his fellow students joked about this
faithfulness to his classes. Person
would think you were an Unclassi-
tied.' they said.
The Unclassifieds were made up,
for the most part. Of earnest and
rather mIddle-aged students whose
education was delayed blooming.
They usually were not enrolled for
full course. or were taking double
work feverishly.
The professors found them shade
too eager. perhaps: too inQuiring; de-
handing. too much. They stayed after
class and asked innumerabIe ques-
lions. They bristled with interroga-
ton. They were prone to hold forth
in the classroom. "Well. have found
1t to be the case In my experience
that"
But the professor preferred TO do
the lecturing himself. If there was
to be any experience related 1t should
come from the teachers platform. not
the students chair.
In his first year Dirk made the al
most fatal mistake of being rather
friendly with one of these Unclassi-
fieds-a female Unclassified, a large,
good-humored. plump girl, about thir-
ty-eight. with shiny skin which she
never powdered and thick hair that
exuded disagreeable odor Of oil.
She was sympathetic and jolly, but
her clothes were fright, the CLASH

under her armpits. She had really
fine mind. quick. eager, balanced, al
most judicial. She knew just which
references were valuable, which use
less. Her name was Schwengauer-
Matte Schwengauer. Terrible!
She and Dirk got in the way of
walking out of the classroom together,
across the campus. She told him

 We can mention only minimum of the numerous and wonderful sights to be seen along this coast line as the ship glides among and around the verdure-covered islands, with their perpendicular shining granite mountains extending deep below the increasingly dashing against it's pol ished sides. Perhaps for cons of cen turies cutting it's way into the rocks, sometimes forming a perfect arch or stately pinnacles, adding to Natures wondrous beauty. But there is an- other side to this Westward trip, that makes the traveller mediate over the omissions of their past lives, es- pecially when the good ship Starr" is caught firmly in the embrace of a fierce "Southwester" and the tide rushing in from an opposite direc- tion-no use to describe in detail ones feelings.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-For the first
time in many years, it appears that
the Governor and both houses of the
legislature are in thorough accord. At
least, a large majority of both House
and Senate are supporting, without
reservation, the program advocated by
Governor Tom J. Terral. Old time
politicians familiar with state affairs
for long time, agree that seldom, If
ever. have they witnessed so complete
control of the legislative by the execu-
tive function of government. The
Governors friends, however, disclaim
domination on his part and insist that
they are only carrying out well defn-
ed policies which will produce efficiency
and economy in the conduct of State
affairs. They insist that they are sup
porting principles rather than the man.
1t is, nevertheless, true that every
Pocahontas star herald., 1925-02-12

measure recommended by Governor
Terral, thus far, has been approved
by the General Assembly and is being
rapidly enacted into law.
The pendulum of legislation is
swinging back to the point it occupied
several years ago, insofar as the ad-
ministratiOn of state institutions is
concerned. 1t used to he that paid
boards and commissions were in charge.
The scandals and maladministratiOn
of some of these boards, in the not
distant past, are remembered by all.
Then Governor Brough began to insti-
tute the honorary commission system
and made some progress. He was fol
lowed by Governor McRae, who made
one of the chief planks of his platform
a demand that all paid commissions
and boards be abolished and honorary
commissions substituted for them. Two
years ago and four years ago he stood
in the House of Representatives and
insisted upon his policies being enact
ed into law. The members of the Gen
eral Assembly acceded to his wishes,
and the honorary board was substitute
ed for the paid. According to Cover
nor McRae's farewell message, citing
reports in state offices, these boards
and commissions have functioned sat
isfactorily, and Governor McRae in
sisted upon their retention.
In this, however Governor Terral
differs radically from his predececcOr
He argues that honorary boards can
not possibly give the time to the duties
of their office that would be given by
Pocahontas star herald., 1925-02-12

those paid for their services. He fur
ther argues that the change would
tend toward economy in the purchase
of supplies and the more efficient man
agement of institutions.
The Governors theory appealed to
a majority of the two houses and while
the proponents of the honorary boards
made courageous, if losing. fight,
they were overwhelmed and the ma
iorlty placed their seal of approval
upon the Terral system. There were
only eight votes in the Senate against
the abolition of ten honorary boards
and the creation of Board of Chari-
ties and Corrections. After debate
lasting nearly four hours in the House,
at a late hour Friday, the Brewer bill
was passed by a vote of 80 to %.
Strong logical arguments were advanc-
ed on both sides. The friends of abol-
ition were mdeterred by the charge
made by one of the opponents that
the whole proposal was for the purpose
of politics, power and pull" All bore
testimony tothe sincerity of purpose
of the Governor and the majority is in
favor of giving him free hand in
putting into effect his theories of in
stitutiOnal management.
The strongest opposition to the
abolition of the ten honorary boards,
consisting of 81 members, many
of them women, came from the womens
organizations of the state In an eff
fore to appease them and to demon
strate that there is nothing personal

Not everything appears upon the sur
face in lawmaking, as it is done in the
Arkansas General Assembly. One day
last week Representative McGehee of
Cleveland county introduced the fol-
lowing bill:
"A Bill for an Act to he Entitled :
IAN Act Repeating Act No. 11S of the
Special Acts of Arkansas Approved
March 20, 1905
BE it Enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of the state of Arkansas:
BE il Enacted by the People of the
State of Arkansas:
Section L. That Act No. rs Of the
Special Acts of the State of Arkansas,
approved March Doth, 1908. be hereby
repealed"
This might well be taken as an ex-
ample of faith. since it meets the Bib
lical definition Of being an evidence
of things unseen. Whether the bill
referred to the Volstead act or a no
fence district or authorized horse rae
ing does not appear in the bill. Refer
ence to the acts of 1908 shows that
Act 11S, which it seeks to repeal, is
as follows:
Section I. That hereafter it shall
be unlawful for any person, or persons,
to play at any game of cards or dice
for amusement publicly within the
County OF Cleveland.
"aection >. Any person violating
the provisions of this Act upon con
viction shall be fined in any sum not
less than ten nor more than twenty
five dollars for each offense."

statute in Arkansas.
