THE c. e. O. CANAL ONCE MORE

WE beg leave to introduce the {. X ID.
beg leave to ask our Cecil representa-
tivy> 10 give our words nj least Il read

bias, with no personal interest, and
wholly unaffected ny the heat of con

grounds Of abstract right. From that
standpoint we say

The Canal Company WIS never intended
to be ii common carrier. but an open
highway for all common carriers on un-
discriminating terms For the Canal it

triton would he tlS it seems to u>D not
OIL, an entire pcrvcl>oH of its nature
and purpose, but might easily open the
way to that "COl,uSiUm of interests"
which is just now the most unsavory
feature of the transportation business.
If parties. interested in the Canal want
to 20 Into the work of transports on. let
them organize Il separate company for
that express purpose.
>. And give the Canal Company the
right Of foliage on passengers. Why not,
in the name of all that is just? Never
mind whether they are in prosperity or
adversely question seems rather
beside the mark. But will some one eX-
plain to our feeble understanding why
the Company should not have foliage on

much is Il man better than a Sheep"
None; but distinctly worse for the Canal
people. in their present situation: II calf
with four legs may help pay their oper-
ating expenses. but calf with two legs
is dead head. And just here the
wheels of OUR head are brought to Il
stop by the report that our own Senator
France is advocating a bill on precisely
the lines we have here indicated. Go on.
Scuatur and let Cccil'S representatives
follow where YOU lead unmovcd by the
personal. selfish appeals that will Ger

DYSPEPSIA A THING OF
THE PAST.
If You Have Indigestion

this article ought to interest you. No
matter what else you may do unless you
study proper hygiene and diet your
efforts will not amount to much. The
LaXakola Co., 45 Vesey St., New York,
have published a remarkable little book,
Advice to Dyspeptics," free to those who
ask for it. 1t tells all about dyspepsia,
It's causes, what to eat and what not to,
and if the advice is followed no one really
need be troubled with indigestion. We
sell their dyspepsia cure Pepsikola Tab
lets, 25 cents, and are authorized to re
fund the money if the purchaser receives
no benefit. Pepskola Tablets tone up
and stimulate the stomach to do its own
work by increasing the gastric juice and
saliva. 1t is particularly recommended to
those whose appetite is poor, with coated
tongues, distress after eating and the
ather ills always attendant on dyspepsia.

Pine BLUFF, ARK,
Letter From J. McScOtt, City Editor
Of The Daily Graphic.

w lille IldhlllS lily ldoC 1OuIluo
for Sundays paper Saturday
night just as the city clock was
striking the hour of 1, I observed
two forms about a half block
ahead and heard two half angry
voices discussing the productive
ness of two farms. AS | drew
near heard one say: But [ tell
you you don't know what you are
talking about. | can raise all
kinds of the finest fruit [ ever
saw on any farm-your place
can't hold candle to it" This
recalled conversation I heard
last year in front Of Hughes &
Coffey's when Col. ]. Newt Coffey
was having his say about the
wonderful fruit produced on his
''Briars Domain" patch near
Gradyville. 1t also recalled the
trick he tried to work a few days
later by stealing some of John
Diddle's fine apples and having
them writ up" as the produc-
ton of ''Briar's Domain" patch.
Pine Bluff is quite a little city,
has a population of 1000 and is
the third best town in the
state. There are three daily pa
pers here, two afternoon and one
morning entirely machine COM
position. The Graphic runs three
single and one double-deck limo
types and by the way, this is the
only double decker in the state.
I have been so busy getting on
the inside of the work since |
came here that | have not had
time to go into the country but
am told that the city is surround
ed by the best cotton, corn and
fruit country in the state.
Standing on the bluff one has
a fine view of the country across
the Arkansas river for fifteen
miles and the farms appear to be
in as good condition as the floods
will permit. The land on the
north side side of the river for
several miles, over flows almost
every year and rescue boats are
kept busy removing families to
places of safety. 1t would ap-
pear from this that that section
would be very unhealthful, yet |.
am told by the health officer that
the people do not suffer any more
from malaria than those of other
sections.
Considering the size of the town
and the crowds that throng the
streets daily, splendid order pre-
walls. There are only ten pris-
oners in the county jail and many
mornings there is not a single case
on the police court docket, to the
sorrow of the weary pencil push
er who hoped for full docket

The Presidents Politics.

That Popul.st statesman out in
Kansas who adopts President
Roosevelt for his party, unconsci-
ously pays a greater compliment to
our chief magistrate than he in
tended. Here are Republicans,
Democrats and Populists all claim
ing Roosevelt. Capital and labor
both put trust IN him. The north
and the south, the east and the
west, alike welcome him with en-
thusiasm and with plaudit. He
VIII encounter no opposition-so
1t is predIcted-irom any quarter
in the House Of Representatives
He liz at once the leader of his party
and the leader of his country. 1t
is indeed a high place to which
Theodore Roosevelt has attained -
higher than the presidency itself,
and this is conceded by candid men
who oppose him in politics, and not
