Which Is Your Way?

The man who is satisfied to let somebody else do his thinking for him will read but one or two papers. He will gulp down what the editor of Lis party paper tells him, go to the polls and vote the party ticket, and then retire within himself, quite sure that he has done his duty. But the man who wants to know the .'other side" and to be able to make up his mind for himself will not be content with this plan, least of all during a great political cam paign like the present. He will read PUBLIC OPINION (published at New York. get all sides of every inn portant public question, political, social, religious, educational and others. And then he will form his own conclusions and act upon them. Specimen copy free; $2.50 per year.

A Young Man Run in for Rid

This morning about s o'clock As sistant Chief Culpepper, who always casts his anchor to the windward for those who dare to infringe the edicts of our city fathers, espied a young and well-known man, enjoying to the fullest extent bicycle ride on the prohibited sidewalk The policeman told the young gentleman, who shall here be nameless, that he had violated the law and that Judge Brown would like to see him in a very few minutes. The young man demonstrated and told the police man to go and get the streets fixed so that one could ride with some comfort and then bicyclists would not want to use the sidewalks. It was very good advice, but it didn't satisfy the court and the wheelman 'santed up.

4 WATERY GRAVE. THE SAD FATE OF THE LITTLE SON OF ENGINEER
 BENNETT. He Falls From Skiff and Drowns in tie Muddy Waters of the
 Arkansas River.

This morning shortly after 10 o'clock the Arkansas River, in the person of the 9-yearold son of Mr c. E. Bennett, claimed another victim.
 The lad was out skiff riding just above the Government boats which are tied up opposite the Cotton Belt shops, and when about twenty feet from the south bank in some man. her he fell from the skiff and before help could reach him he was drowned. The poor little boy was seen to rise to the surface three times before he sank to rise no more in life.
 The alarm was at once given and soon Q large crowd of men and women had gathered on the river. At noon when a GRAPHIC reporter repaired to the scene of the acei- dent strong swimmers were in the water diving for the body which is supposed to have lodged against the piling in the river at that place, and the river was being dragged, but up to the hour of going to press the body had not been recovered.
 The unfortunate boy was a son of Mr. c. c. Bennett, an engineer em- ployed on the Shreveport branch of the Cotton Belt railroad, and today he is at Magnolia. The mother, who lives near the shops, this city, is almost heart-broken over her terri ble loss, but devoted friends are do- ing all they can to soothe and com fort her.
