previous and it was thought that she had returned home. Miss Moore had not given out any intimation of her intention to wed and naturally her sudden disappearance caused no little excitement among her relatives and friends.
 l twas thought that she might have remained with a friend for supper and had gone to the Elks theater, where the graduating exercises were being held. Doctor Junius Jordan was re- quested to call for her from the stage, but Miss Moore did not respond from the big audience. Later it was learn ed that she had been seen at Union Station when the afternoon Little Rock passenger train arrived.
 The local police were notified and the Little Rock officers were also ask ed to ascertain her whereabouts. While the search was being made here and in Little Rock, a long dis tance message came from Miss Moore at Little Rock to her mother, telling her of her marriage at the capital. The couple have gone to Hot Springs for few days and will take up their residence at the home of Mrs. Nathan Leyman, No. 219 East Sixth street, Little Rock.
 Mrs. I. J. Moore was almost pros trated this morning when seen by a Graphic representative. She stated that she did not seriously object to her daughter marrying Mr. Hirschorn, but that she objected to her marriage at this time, owing to her youth. My daughter and MT. Hirschorn have cor responded for several months" said Mrs. Moore, but I did not think they were serious. 1 just thought that it was a friendly correspondence of chil- dren and paid no attention to them 7 MT. Hirschorn is 22 years old.
 Miss Moore is a pretty and attrac- tive young lady and has host of ad- mirers and friends here. She was a member of the juvenile choir and taught a class in the Jewish Sunday school.

TEACHERS ELECTED:
 CON RACT LET School Board Met Yesterday. Elected Members of Fac ulty and Av arded Con- tract for High School.
CHAS. E. HUNTINGTON
A Local Contractor. Secured the Con- tract-All Teachers Re-EIected- New Building to Be Finest in the State.

The members of the Pine Bluff school board met yesterday after- noon and elected teachers for the next scholastic year. Every member of the faculty was reelected, from Superintendent Junius Jordan to janitor.
 The school board also let the con- tract for the erection of the new S75,OOO high school building to Contractor Charles F.. Dunnington of this city, his bid being $75,- TIA.
 The new building is to be erected as soon as the material is received here and there is some hope enter tained of having the next gradu- ating exercises take place in the new structure. When completed, the high school will be the largest and most attractive school building in Arkansa. The continuous growth of Pine Bluff and the congestion of pupils in the various public schools makes it absolutely necessary to build a new. high school. The present high school building on Pine street, will be occupied by pupils in lower grades, after the completion of the new building.
 The proposed structure is to be nearly four stories high. It will be of the best pressed brick and stone and will be modern in every re- spect. It will have frontage of l60 feet and equipped with steam heaters and yentilators and fire pressure throughout. On the third floor will be an auditorium with seating capacity of 600 and a 52- foot stage.
 The re-electon of Doctor Junius Jordan, superintendent of the pub lie schools, which was agreed upon at meeting of the board several days ago. was unanimous. Doctor Jordan has been superintendent here for several years and has given perfect satisfaction. His unanimous reelection is alone high testimonial of his ability. The other teachers reelected follow:
 High School-J. H. Thach, E. M Pipkin, R. T. Benton, J. A. Buchan, Miss Zue Sloss, Mrs. R. A. Haltom, R. F. Moore and w. D. McNeil.
 Sixth Avenue School-J. R. AL len, w. ?. Keith, Miss Jesse Raw son, Miss Anna Can't, Miss Sallie Gray, Miss Mildred Larche, Miss Gertrude Dodds, Miss Cora Dukes, Mises Grace Strobridge, and Henry Clay Wheeler, janitor.

The Elks theater was crowded to
 the doors last night with the friends
 of the High School graduates. The stage and front of the theater were 1 literally banked with flowers sent by loving friends and relatives to the tri- umphant graduates, thus rendering all other floral decorations unneces- sary.
 At the appointed time the large cur tain went up and On the right side of the stage, in dignified solemn silence, , sat those men through whose instru- mentality these boys and girls were able to receive their diplomas. Then, slowly, to the strains of sweet music, the graduates filed in, one by one. The young men came first from each wing. Then came the girl graduates, daintily attired in white, each carry /. ing a large bouquet of white carna- !, tions. They formed a semicircle, the boys at either side and the girls forming the heart, as it were, Of this crescent shaped group. After few moments of impressive silence, Doctor Junius Jordan, super intendent of the public schools, arose and reverently introduced the class to the audience. This being done, Rev erend w. D. Buckner delivered the in- vocation.

tions. When one of these distin-
guished financiers was asked to re-
sign he said: I'll not resign. I'll
be id if will. own three-eighths
of this financial institution and I'm
going to stick He soon learned
that three-eighths is not a majority,
and then resigned; as to his damna-
ton, that is a matter for the future.
The drastic measures taken to re-
lieve the situation were somewhat
disturbing for the time being, but
they gave the best assurance for the
future. They make clear that the
banks of New York have passed into
the hands of honest, intelligent and
responsible men; of men who have a
high sense of their obligations to
stock holders, depositors and borrow
ers. Instead of impairing confidence
recent events will command conf
dence shaken three years ago by the
revelations of the hour.
The leaders of finance in New York
waited long time before taking eff
,ich 10
pone an evil day as long as possible.
At last they had to clean house; they
had to burn out bad chimney; they
had to throw overheard men who
were regardless of the first principles
of banking.
That is the work to which the pres
ident called these gentlemen three
years ago They were reluctant to
follow in the path indicated. Now
that they have come to a realizing
sense of the necessity for the reform
of banking abuses it ought to give
them a higher appreciation of the
services the president has rendered
to sound finance in the face of un-
paralleled abuse, and hereafter, in
stead of open antagonism, there
should be new spirit of cooperation
between the government at Washing
ton and the responsible as distin-
guished from the irresponsible finan-
ciers of New York
The week closes with far brighter

things force up things that the far
mer has to buy and he finds himself
no better off than when wheat was IS
cents.
The great depression in the cotton
business for years nearly bankrupted
the planter. This was an artificial
reduction. 1t was due to causes too
numerous now to mention. Then the
price began to advance and during
the past few years the price has been
remunerative. The farmer has not
been getting too much but he has
been getting better share of the
worlds product than heretofore.
But if cotton is to be held up by
corners and artificial inducements The
farmer will suffer In Chicago there
has been a reduction in certain lines
of cotton goods. What the country
wants to see now is a general con-
cession in prices and until that con-
cession comes there are number of
projected enterprises that will slum-
Der. Certainly the prices for build
ing materials have advanced beyond
reason or safety and prices in many
of the necessities of life have gone
too high.

John Tinnen, once a partner of
Governor John Sparks in a big cattle
range between Wells and the Idaho
state line, was shot through the
thigh at Goldfield last Wednesday.
The bullet came from a gun in the
hands of P. H. Mullany, who was
shooting at Vincent st. Johns, the
Socialistic leader in that camp. Tin
men was forced to have his leg ampu-
tated. He is 20 years of age and may
die as a consequence. st. Johns has
made more trouble for Goldfield in
the last two years than dozen tinan-
cial panics might make. He is a nat
ural disturber of conditions. Had
Mullany's shots occasioned interest in
st. Johns on the part of the coroner,
labor and capital would both have
benefited in the south country. St
Johns belongs with a class of dis
turbers who do no community good,
serving only to bring into disrepute
those upon whom they fasten and to
make for trouble where there would
otherwise be content.

this latter has been greatly overdrawn
by the presidents New Haven critic.
Again, it is far too much to say
that it is the presidents deliberate
aim to break up and destroy cor
porate wealth, that he has dis
dained" all Republican party policy,
that he has assumed that he is the
United States government" that he
claims supernatural power to de-
tect and uncover and punish the
wealthy malefactor" and that ''he is
the most dangerous force to consti-
tutional liberty that has ever existed
in this country" But such exagger-
alton is mild compared with this:
''The president has taken the press
by the nape of the neck and to a great
extent forced it to do his bidding"
There has never in recent times
been president of the United States
who was the target of so much news
paper criticism as Theodore Roose-
welt is today, nor has there ever been
another so extensively caricatured
and ridiculed. A criticism that might
have given him something to seri-
ously think about has thus been
turned into an attack that can only
set him to laughing. For nobody
knows better than he that, far from
having the press of the country "by
the nape of the neck" he can't even
get hold of it at any other point of
its anatomy.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS SOUND
(From Louisville POST

(From Louisville Post.)
1t is not often that the business or.
such test as has been applied to the
United States during the past ter
days. The test has been applied and
The furry in New York has, as the
Evening Post heretofore said, been
chiefly local. The trouble has come
from local practices affecting local in
situations. Every other city sends re-
ports of unexampled commercial
progress. The Pennsylvania railroad
declares that the banner year of its
history is that ending October, 1907;
that their earnings are II per cent
above the earnings of 1906.
From all sections of the country
come the same reports-east, west,
north and south. The surprising
thing is that in the temporary finan-
cial turmois the influence on the gen.
eral traffic of the country, in it's gen
eral industry has been so slight The
demand for goods is unabated. The
retail trade has surpassed all records
1t is this demand that sustains prices
The decline in the buying world is
soon reflected in the price, and re-
duction in the prices of the chief COM
modities of life, in the necessities of
life, is much to be desired.
With the great expansion of bust
ness, of credit and of currency there
came necessarily a marked advance
in all prices, not at once but gradu-
ally in one branch and another. The
trouble is that this advance has gone
too far. Increasing prices seem to af-
feet the imagination of people and
they look to the advance as itself in
dicative of prosperity. 1t is not SO.
Cheapness means abundance. High
prices mean a scarcity-that is, they
mean there is not enough to supply
the demand. Cost is one element i'm
price, but the demand is the controll-
ing element.
The reported reduction in the price
of meat at Omaha is a healthy sign.
The decline in the export price of
wheat is another healthy sign. 1t
will benefit not only the men who
buy the wheat, it will benefit all in
terests connected with wheat raising
There is such thing as forcing up
prices of one product where 1t ceases
to be profitable even to the seller,
because other prices follow on the
same line. The farmer who sells
wheat may like it at a dollar and
there are conditions in which he is
entitled to it, but if it be forced up
by speculation or by arbitrary actions
or by artificial devices those same
