The Monroe Bulletin seems to think the Journal has made a pad play in recent expression regard ing "cIean politics" and predicts dire disaster when the politicians be- gin to reckon up with recalcitrant rnals.-ShreVeport Journal.
 The average politician hates clean politics as bad as the devil hates holy water. It is because some politicians are such unclean things themselves that they can't stand it to look into the mirror. But politics should be as clean as any thing else, and that they are net so is due largely to the fact that busi- ness men aud tax payers do not par ticipate in political affairs, or study local and State questions, but take their politics from politicians who usually have some selfish motive to serve. As a result of this, dema- gogues are often elected to high and responsible posit. .ons and the public service is prostituted by the election or appointment of incompetent or unworthy political wire-pullers and wol kers. There needs to be a re awakening on the part of the voters who should endeavor to make poi- tics as clean and honest as their home fife or private business.

The Commercial League has called mass meeting at the court house for this (rnesday) evening to re ceive and consider the proposition of the Austin & Sawyer lumber com pany, relative to removing their plant 10 this city from La Crosse, Wis, and building and operating a railroad line from Pine Bluff via Sheridan t1 Malvern or Benton.
 This meeting should be largely at tended by the business men and citizens generally There is not more crying need at this hour tLan railroad through the country which its proposed 10 run the above line. It would open up a large and profitabe territory to Pine Bluff trade and development =ln addition to the proposed railroad she Austin X Sawyer lumber and manufaetJr- ing plant would be a valuable con sideraton.
