MLLEGAL" APPROPRl-
 ATiON.

In all fairness. the Graphic wishes to call upon City Attorney Coleman for an opinion as to the legality of the recent appropriation of $50 by the city council for paying the ex- penses of the chief of police while in attendance at the international con- yention of chiefs of police at Hot Springs.
 If it is illegal for the city to make an appropriation for advertising her resources abroad, is it not likewise illegal for the city to make plain donation to the chief of police and his assistant in order to enable them to attend the police convention?
 How about this matter, MT. Cole man!
 Mind you, the Graphic is not oppos- ing the donation to our police chief. On the other hand. this action on the part of the council is right along in line with the Graphic's we'll known policy of progressiveness; and we are gratified that the city has in office men who exhibit so commend able zeal for the citys welfare. Pine Bluff should indeed be placed in the front rank of the cities of the coun- try, and the Graphic believes in talk ing every honorable step for such ad- yancement. Other cities pay the ex- penses of their chiefs of police at the convention. and so should Pine Bluff
 But so do other cities appropriate moneys for advertising purposes. The great city of St. Louis is just now inaugurating an advertising campaign that is likely to cost the city govern ment half a million dollars.
 The incident of the police appro- priation is recalled here merely as 9 subs antiation of the assertion in these columns Thursday to the effect that if these appropriations are ille- 2al-which we do not erant-then the

VlNDICATE THE LAW.

According to an exchange, the gov ernor of Idaho has issued a procla- nation inviting the labor unions Of the United States to send a de!ega- tion to his state to inspect the evi- dence against the accused assass- ins of ex-Governor Steunenberg. We do not believe this was a wise or a dienified proceeding on the part of ldaho's governor. The people of the United States will assume that the government of no American common wealth would wink at the conviction of any class of men on trumped up evidence.

ARKANSAS POLITICS.

Under the caption, Arkansas Pail
 ties" the Commercial Appeal makes
 the following comment on the out
 come of the recent election: Arkansas has retired a faithful rublic servant in failing to re-elect
 Senator Berry and has substituted
 something of an unknown quantity
 in elevating Governor Davis to the
 United States senate.
 The governors peculiar methods seem to be invincible with the peo- pie of his state. There, he is known; 1 his merits and demerits are no sec rets to the voters of Arkansas. and. | to do,s n justice, the Honorable Jeff makes few pretensions. and seems quite as willing for the people to know the one side of him as the other
 That he is marvellous success with the people of his state must be admitted by all. even by those who might be inclined to question their discretion. Whether he will be able to meet Washington conditions and subject them to the betterment of his state is another question. There is 9 vast deal of difference between the States senate. The character capa- ble of scooping in votes from the stump may find itself utter'y incapa- ble and useless amid the surround ings of the senator.
 The Honorable Jeff. however. is eminently a fahtira nalitician and an active one. It is n9ssih1e hat he will be able to make heaAWav even where conditions and methods seem to be hostile to those wherein and with which he has So often fought and conquered
 He succeeds useful senator. and We trust he will prove at least equal ly beneficial to the state that has honored him with it's highest gift. With Little as governor the new senator will be able to pursue his career in the senate with none of the anXieties for his future political fate which he would have known had Roe- CTS been nominated. Thus the nomi nation of Little, as long as Davis was given the senatorship, may bring to Arkansas a breathing spell of poll tlcal rest, which the state sora1y needs. There is danger. though, in this sort of tranquility. Tnite7 States senators are prone to meddlo with the governors of their resooc. tive states in the matter of appoint eos and other purely state officers
 We are told that Little is etronr man. possessing a firm character and decided individuality This being the case, 1t may be that under him Ark ansas can enjoy political rest with. out suffering from federal dominion occasioned by the exercise of sona- torial influence.
 The state has a world of wealth yet to be developed. Too r1nch noli- ties from any source will revar allow l this wealth to see the light of day:
 but sound business administration ef it's affairs-snch as We are led to
 believe the democratic nominee for @overnor is quite able to eive-will eaoSe Arkansas to develop With anaz- ing celeritv and suecnss.

THE EASY OIL.

Scott's Emulsion is "the easy oil" l"-easy to take, easy in action Its use insures deliverance from the gripping and nau- seating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for their stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion is to be had. It is equally certain that no one having I regard for their health will accept a cheap emulsion or alco- holic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. It fulhlls ev- cry mission of cod liver oil and more.

A SOCIETY PROBLEM.

The Washington newspapers re- port social problem that is rather perplexing to the "smart set" of the national capital. It is how to social ly place Mrs. Longworth. AS the daughter of the white house she was the very cream of the cream, the very essence of the superlative, the ne plus ultra of American nobility. But she married congressman. and we are informed that the social status has undergone a far-reac ching change She is now only a congressional lady, and must drop into the congressional set. Even the Congressional ladies' ter considering all the circumstances Now what is to be the outcome of this matter, anyhow? Will the de- cision on the congressional ladies" be ratified and affirmed by the smart set, in which the former Miss Roose- welt was wont to move? Will the cabinet laides' and the diplomatic ladies" banish Mrs Longworth to the floating, merely tolerated and more or less mixed society of the "congres- sional ladies?' What are the fat and bejeweled dowagers of Washing ton going to do about it? Will they relegate the young matron to the sta tion into which she married?
 Will not the fact that the young Woman's father is President of the United States continue to socially ex- alt her? Even if her husband be on ly a congressman. it is a fact that she married into the possession of T sisterin-law who is countess What have the congressional ladies. the cabinet ladies, the diplomatic ladies and the aforesaid bejeweled dowagers of the unofficial set to say to that. by hokey?
 We do not care for the opinions of those stately old danes who went to
 
 land, whose pedigrees stretch back into the dead romantic years of the middle ages, those proud and naughty creatures who inhabit some CT the painfully plain old dwellings in sequestered and noiseless portions of Washington. We shall leave them tr their Chippendale furniture and the faded trinklets of a departed glory. They have no money to speak of, anyhow, and their clothes only excite the disabilities of Washington real smart set whose palatial homes, adorned with the newest Grand Rapids furniture. ornamented with the very newest works of art, weaver's art. charm and bewilder sure enough s9ciety."
 Let the congressional ladies" in sist upon their own, regardless of the existence of Mrs. Lcngworth's titled sister-inlaw. Nick Lengworth is nothing but congressman, nOhow'' and how can Mrs. Lonsworth hope tG escape that helpless and hopeless environment? We cannot see the frality of the controversy.

SHARE THE PROFITS.
A 0meIter Company Gives lts En-
pioyes Part OF the Earnings.

One of the most successful plans for
sharing profits with employees is being
conducted by the American Smelling 4
Refining Company, which is manageA
by the Guggenheims. This company
has a large number of employees in
Colorado, and to each OF them is given
each year a pro rata division OF such
net profits of the company as remain
after dividends are paid on its pre-
ferred and common stock. This year
the amount distributed was $500. 900 al
all its plants.
This profit sharing plan originated
with the executive committee of the
company, for the purpose of attach,
ing Its employees more closely to their
work. In some large companies sys.
ten OF pensions are resorted to. buo
the plan Of sharing profits appears to
make each employe feel additional re-
sponsibility, and regard the interests
OF the company as his own. The an.
nual cost OF this plan 10 the company
means nearly one-half million dollars.
and Is much more expensive than pen.
sions, but at the same time Is much
more satisfactory.
On the pay roll of the Guggenheim
interests in Colorado are some of tho
most contented and loyal working men
that can be found anywhere In the
country. The result of the plan OF
proht sharing is at once the delight
and astonishment of students of indus
trial conditions. who have pondered
deeply on the problem of dividing
earnings with labor. This is one OF
the numerous instances where bust
ness men took up and settled an In
dustrial problem to the satisfaction OF
labor. while mere theorists were
oafhed by the perpleNing situation.
The Guggenheims. while up to date
business men in every respect, still
adhered to the good ld,fashioned idea
that an employer is in measure ro-
sponsible for those who work for him
To this plan of dealing with laborins

their success

SILVER STILL CLIMBING.
Mr.. Simon Guggenheim Says White
Metal is Again to Reach
HiQh Price

What seems like prophecy founded
on knowledge OF the facts is the
statement made by Simon Guggenheim
OF Denver, several months ago, with
regard to the price OF silver The
white metal is still climbing upward,
and is now above 10 cents an ounce.
Mr.. GuggenheiW, who is intensely
loyal to Colorado and all her interests.
made the announcement some time
ago that silver Would soon advance
and the mining of that metal be once
more profitable in the once great sill
yer camps.
Colorado is a magnificent state.~
said Mr.. Guggenheim, who has been
active In her development for eighteen
years. And there is every indication
that silver mining is again to be profit
able in the famous camps We were SO
proud of in the old days. In very
few months silver will reach 10 cents,
with every prospect of going higher"
This prediction has come true to the
delight of every loyal Coloradan. Mr..
Guggenheim's companies have been
active since silver was demonetiZed to
restore the metal to at least something
near its former value. 1t begins to
look as if what was attempted for
Colorado by political platforms when
silver was an issue" will be done by
persistent work along business lines
by men who are able to exert powerful
influence in behalf of whatever plans
for helping Colorado they have in
hand.
