New Election Law
Offers No Relief
Some of the friends of the
proposed new Primary Law
are pleased to refer to it as
“the Pure Primary Law.” We
confess, however, that after
several careful readings of the
bill, we are unable to find
anything in the proposed new
lawr that looks any more like
purity than the law we now
have.
There is room for many im
provements in our present elec
tion law, but not a single one
of them will be made by adopt
ing this proposed new law.
A careful study of the new
law and a comparison of it,
section by section, with the
present law, convinces us that
there is nothing to gain by
adopting the new law. Then
why adopt a lengthy and cum
bersome new law, with which
the voters are unfamiliar,when
there is nothing to gain by the
change?
Better keep the old law with
which we are familiar, until
we can get a law that is pro
perly drawn and that will be
some improvement over the
law we now have.
The Journal is in favor of
progress at all times, but we
are not in favor of changing a
law as important as our elec
tion law for something new
and untried when there is no
apparent prospect of an im
provement.

The tax payers of Arkansas I
will feel quite a relief in the
submission of Acts and Amend
ments under the I and R in the
fall election. In former years it
has cost about $500.00 per
county to print the measures in
the local newspapers, but this
year the cost will run very lit
tle over $200 per county .There
are fewer of the matters for
submission, and they are also
somewhat shorter, which les
sens the advertising bill, which
is based upon the space used.
In estimating the value of
Mr. Roosevelt’s endorsement of
Mr. Hughes, it must be rem-1
embered that he endorsed Mr.
Taft.Does he feel as sure about
Mr. Hughes as he did about
Mr. Taft? And will he be as
brutally frank in acknowledg- j
ing his mistake, if Mr. Hughes !
disappoints him as much as Mr.;
Taft did? The future has great
political possibilities if we can
judge it by the past.—Bryan’s;
(Commoner.
Russia has permanently
adopted the prohibition policy
which was being tried as a
protective and precautionary
movement in that country dur
ing the great war. Russia is
now known as the world’s
greaest water-wagon. A thor
ough trial of prohibition in
any country always proves
satisfactory and beneficial.
Arkansas is no exception to
this rule, and prohibition is
proving beneficial to our state
and her people.
The Journal is glad to note
the increasing interest in good
roads in Independence county.
We hope Judge Waldrip will
buy another tractor and grad
er and keep them busy every
day they can be operated. Our
county needs better roads and
money spent in building them
will prove a good investment.

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
ON 5 NEW MEASURES
Much Interest Being Taken in
Measures to be Submitted to
Voters in Next Election.
There will be vigorous cam
paigns during the next few
months on at least four direct
legislation propositions that are
to be submitted to the people.
Above all, it is probable that
the bill for the repeal of the
prohibition law will attract
more general attention than
any other, since it is a question •
upon which a more intense
public sentiment is always a
roused, since it involves the re
ligious and moral element.Both
sides are promising a hard
I lght.
The Educational Amend
ment, raising the optional max
imum of taxes for school pur
poses to twelve mills, is also at
tracting attention, and the edu
cational forces of the state are
conducing a propaganda to ov
ercome misapprehensions in
regard to the proposed meas
ure. There has been opposi
tion, but this is disappearing
where the facts are made clear
that it does not mean an ex
tra five mills tax voted uon 1
the people of the state. The
voters of any district may vote
as small a tax as they please.
Unexpected opposition is
developing in some quarters to
the Rrundidge Primary Rill.
Several of the newspapers of
the state including the Daily
fexarkanian have announced
their opposition to it. princip
ally because it is, they allege,
cumbersome and complex, and
would only confuse the voter.
However, its advocates will
keep up a hard fight for it.
The labor interests of the
state are back of the other
measure an initiated amend
ment to the Constitution to re
move the limit upon the num
ber of amendments that may
be submitted at any one elec
tion.
Another proposed amend
ment that should not be over
looked provides for a system of
bonds for the construction of
county roads, known as the
Futrall amendment. It is an
important measure, and taken
with the Alexander law should
mean the building of thousands
of miles of new road.
MRS. RODMAN DIES
AT SANITARIUM
The town of Newark was
distinctly shocked Sunday af
ternoon when it became known
that Mrs. T. N. Rodman had
died in a sanitarium at Bates
ville about :] o’clock that af
ternoon, following an opera
tion for appendicitis.
Mrs. Rodman had been ill
for several weeks, but had got
ten better and was able to be
taken to Batesville Saturday
where the operation was per
formed. She stood the opera
tion splendidly and wasthought
o be doing nicely when she
suddenly began sinking and
loath ensued within a short
time.
Mrs. Rodman was a member;
of the Methodist church and
was a most estimable Christian
lady. She was an ardent work
er and one of the most valued
members ot the Woman’s
Home Missionary Society, from
which circle she will be sadly
missed.
Among us all she ranked al
ways as a woman of culture,
refinement, sympathy, a devot-1
ed wife, a loving mother, a
kind neighbor and a true j
triend, and withal a woman
of heroic mould in bravely
meeting the stern requirements :
and often the disappointments
of life. , ,
She leaves a husband, torn
children, and a hostofrelatives
and friends to mourn her sad
departure.
The remains were carried
to her old home at Barren
Fork, Izard county, where
they were peacefully laid to
rest. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. James
Rone of Barren Fork and Rev.
L. B. Hankins of this place.
