1.-The law does not permit it, said
Streuth
Precisely, but in the case of the
successful suicide the law is not asked
1t says that you may not take your life
away, but if you do it cannot compel
you to take it back again or punish you
in any way We can leave the law out.
There is also the religious objec-

Mr. Blake "have not found it cogent
Take the case, by no means an uncom

may be an inestimable benefit to many

Is an act of self sacrifice to be regarded

each suicide must be judged on its own
merits, taking into consideration the
motives and beliefs of the person suicid-

II know none. Streuth answered

there are any objections.

You are an artist, and yet it has not

suicide is of essential Importance. The
throat cutting is very dirty and the

firearms Have little foresight lmag-

The secretary has been provided with an office, IS on a Salary and will de- vote bis entire time to endeayors towards securing new factories and profitable enterprises. Such an or gaLization should be oi great sub- stan tial benefit, for there are in this country thousands of factories anx- ious to find better locations and only waiting for just such lnforma ton as the Pine Bluff league pur- poses supplying. We have long in sisted that this was the most ef- feetive way to build up town, and If the secretary conducts the affairs of tbe league with reasonable intel hgence, We are confident the results will be most satisfactory Now Ies other towns follow Pine Bluffs lead. -Monroe County Sun.

For Mayor, D. c. Bell.

The Graphic takes pleas afe in stating that tt is authorized to an aaaaee Mr Douglass c. Bel as a candidate for reelection as Mayor of the City of Pine Bluff at the en- suing municipal election. We say pleasure because we are gratifed to know that Mr. Bell will stand for reelection. He's now for the sec ond time serving as Mayor of the city, and Pine Bluff has never had a more capable Or energetic executive Throughout bis term he has worked with earnest zeal and untiring e. = ergy fors tbe material interests of Pine Bluff, and albeit these efforts have often failed to result in some thing real and tangible, the fault is not the Mayors, and he should be commended for at least making the effort. It is better to have worked and lost than never to have worked at all.
 For the past year or more Mayor Bell has been engaged in an earnest effort to secure an electric street railway and competitive electric light plant for the city, and, although tbe enterprise is not . certainty, we are glad to report that prospects are Aattering for the early negotia- tion of the bonds of the new com pany. That the enterprise Wili yet be secured to our city there can be little doubt.
