A TOO HAsTY INTERRUPTION.

A prominent citizen OF a certain
New Jersey town is Sunday school
superintendent. a druggist. and an
editor. 4 New Yorker called upon
him recently for the Surpose of pur-

him in The barroom of the hotel.

not drink.

THREE DOWNTOWN
 STORES ROBBED

Three downtown stores were enter ed and robbed by burglars last night. The MarxBaer Grocery Company's store on Main street, Dwyer's butcher shop nearby and Mitchell's confection- cry store on West Second avenue in the rear of the Bank of Pine Bluff were those entered. At the grocery store the thieves effected an entrance by climbing through sky light. They carried away canned goods, groceries and a small sum of money. At the butcher shop the screen was cut, but little was taken, there being no mon ey in the cash drawer. At the con- fectionery store the thieves helped themselves to fruits and candies. The police are Investigating the burglaries and hope to have the guilty parties in jail before nightfall.

CITY IMPROVING
 MANY STREETS

The concrete culvert recently order ed built by the city at Tenth avenue and Oak street, has been completed. The culvert is one of the most sub- stantial ever built here and is sixty feet long. Two years ago the old cul- vert at that place gave way and was useless for some months. The new culvert cost the city about $S5O. On Walnut and Olive streets between Sixth and Twentieth avenues, the city teams are doing some good work, grading the street and making other badly needed Improvements there. The old lake bed in that section of the city is being filled and made level to accommodate the property owners in Sidewalk District No. l. who propose to build concrete walks along those streets. There is some talk of paving the streets in this part of the city when the grading and filling work is finished.

EARLY MORNING
 FIRE BURNS HOME

The one story frame cottage at Eff teenth avenue and Walnut street, oc- cupied by Frank R. Pierce, a sales man at the Hub, and family, was to- tally destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The fire was dis covered at 3:10 a. m. by neighbors and the occupants had to be aroused by them before they were aware of the flames. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mrs. Pierce's aged mother was sick and had to be carried from the burning building.
 The firemen did good work in sav- ing adjoining property. The building was owned by Mrs. Ben Christopher and was insured for $700. It con- tained five rooms. The household goods, which were a total loss, were insured for $500. Both policies were carried in the R. H. M. Mills and Sons agency.

 The funeral of the late Mrs. Edna Earl Ferguson took place from the family residence, No. 804 State street, this afternoon at o'clock and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Reverend R. A. McClin- tock of the Carr Memorial church.
 The statement made in Little Rock paper that there is still $110,- 900 unsubscribed for the Little Rock and Pine Bluff Electric Railway Company is clearly typographical error as the Little Rock and Hot Springs project is intended. The Pine Bluff interurban promoters are not asking for any subscriptions, but are pushing their surveys and will soon be ready to let contracts.
 Two attractive flaming arc lights have been placed in front of the new offices of the Citizens Light and Tran sit Company on Main street and they are being much admired. The lights are the first placed in the downtown district and promise to become popu lar here They are being used in large numbers in the cities and are taking the place of the other lights in front of all the larger city depart ment stores.

Great English Scientist Says Should

To your remaining question respect

my reply is that, as nationally an
swered, there is no difficulty az all.
II should be- positively forbidden. 1t
is not at root question OF social
philosophy. 1t is at root a question
of biology. There is an abundant
proof. alike furnished by the inter
marriage Of human races and by the
intermarriage OF animals. that when
the varieties mingled diverge beyond
a certain degree. the result is inyar-
! iably a bad one in the long run. |

THE NEED OF PEOPLE.

In our Thursdays issue We noted the
great change that has taken place in
the United States and Canada in the
past few years in the labor condi-
tons Only a few years ago there
was an army Of more than fifty
thousand unemployed Now there is
a cry for labor in all parts OF the
country and it seems almost impOs-
sible TO supply the demand.
We think that the state board Of
trade, recently organized in this city.
struck the keynote when il passed
resolutions requesting that the next
legislature provide for sending agents
over TO Europe for the purpose of
bringing immigrants 10 this country.
OF course only intelligent persons
should be delegated for this mission
persons versed with the conditions
there as we'll as here.
An influx OF immigration TO the
southern states in our judgment would
find remunerative employment and
would help us to develop our latent
industries and show 10 the world our
vast possibilities.
Mr. Calhoun. the able secretary Of
the Tampa board Of trade. in his
speech before the state board of trade
stated that he had witnessed the de
velopment of the great northwest and
( of the southwest by immigrants
from nearly all lands. When they
landed they were ignorant Of our Ian
guage and possessed scarcely more
than ready and wiling hands and yet
they prOsperod and enriched the whole

resources and making it one Of the
wonders of the world. Inese immi-
grants made good citizens and their
descendants are now ne Drawn and
brain Of tha, country-loya and. in
ali respects good citizens.
In the south these immigrants
would serve a double purpose. They
would not only help us 10 develop our
resources. thereby enriching jhemsel-
YES and enriChin% us. bur would help
US solve the race problem winch has
been perplcxing Us for the last eighty
years.
Our strenuous efforts and the
strenuous efforts Of tn" next legisla-
ture should be 10 provide some
means for the inducemcnt OF immi-
grafton.

THE DISREGARD OF SUNDAY
LAWS

The New York newspapers are dis
GUESSING the cause of the disregard
iof Sunday laws.
The New York Times recently said
that the non-ObservatiOn of one law
! leads TO the disregard of all laws:
this. however. does not always follow.
for some laws are so generally disTe-
garded that they fall under the SOU
brequet of dead letter laws" They
are disregarded al the time of their
enactment. are never intended 10 be
enforced and are consistently disre-
garded. These observations especial
/ ~ apply To some Of our election laws.
/ This is also true of Sunday laws i'll
many sections OF the country.
/ Speaking Of the disregard of Sunday
/ laws in the great cities of the west
and middle west, Clarence s. Brown.
I in a late issue of the New York
| Times. says:
( In the city OF Milwaukee. FOR eX-
ample. Sunday is the only day on
which the theatres are packed in the
afternoon and evening. The beer
gardens and public dance halls are
/ also crowded and yet Milwaukee, is
one Of the most orderly, law-abiding
cities i'll the country.
/ May not the explanation be that in
the minds OF the majority ~ Ameri-
cans the Sunday laws are an jnjus-
ricco II must he remembered that
they are strictly religious in 50 far
a. they prohibit innocent amusement.
They are not only religious hu, they
represent The religion of a narrow sec

Christian. for The Catholics do no; be-
lieye in jhpm ANA they are NOT "vou

DO not believe in them.

ful of people are allowed so dictate
TO all the rest. They are not satisfied
with doing what they consider right
