counseling the commencement at once
of an international Investigation into
the opium question in the far cast and
recommending that Congress appropriat,
$4,000 for this country's participation
therein.
Agreement of the Powers.
Secretary Root says:
.'In September. 1906. in view Of indica-
tions that the imperial Chinese govern
ment was ready to make serious efforts
to eradicate the opium evil, the Depart
ment of State by your direction entered
upon correspondence with the govern
ments of Great Britain. France, Germany,
Japan. the Netherlands and China to
learn whether they would favor a joint
investigation of this subject SO important
to humanity. particularly to all nations
having any direct or indirect responsi-
bilty for the welfare of those oriental
peoples among whom opium is used. AS
the result of a full exchange of views
with the governments interested, l am
happy now to have the honor to report
that the proposal of the United States
has been accepted by all the above men
toned governments and also in principle
by the government of Portugal. Ii has
been deemed wise that the investigation
be by joint commission: that each gov
cute an Investigation in its own terri
tories. and that attention shall be given
to the commercial and agricultural as
we'll as the other scientific aspects OF
the subject"
Secretary Root says that the govern
ments have been invited to send their &C
credited commissioners to Shanghai
January 1. 1909, the idea being that it
will be found convenient for the commits
sioners of the various governments 20
make their Investigations during the in
tervening months and then to confer to-
gether at Shanghai for an exchange Of
views. which il is hoped will result in
valuable reports and joint recommends
tons to the governments with the view
to general and effective action.
Presidents Endorsement
In his letter recommending the appro-
priation. the President says:
THE cordial reception of this proposal
by the governments concerned is a cause
of qualification to the American govern
ment and people. The high aim of l.Iis
international project. placing as it does
consideration of human welfare above all
others, is fine example of what is best
in modern civilization and international
good will and cooperation. Such an UNI
dertakig cannot but appeal most strongly
to the American people, and / am happy
to lay before the Congress this opportuni-
ty to enable the United States TO do its
full share in the work

"The Almiqhty Dollar"

A recent headline. Rule of the I'ol lar," has suggested the inquiry. Wh' originated the familiar phrase ''tl:a almighty dollar?" It was Washington Irving in "The Creole Village" whict he published in 1887. The phrase be came so popular and excited so much controversy in consequence of doubt whether the adjective was irreverent that its author had to explain eighteer years later that he had intended 'ht irreverence, even to the dollar, whicl he is well aware is becoming dail. more and more an object of worship Dollar" is certainly one of the worlds great words now. and it is difficult te realize that 1t only means "valleyer.' the ."thaler' having been named aftel the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, in whose valley 1t was first coined in the six teenth century.London Chronicle.

FOREST PARK READY

The season is nearing it's end and the winter winds will soon be blowing
 This brings us to a realization of the fact that parks close in the winter and that Forest Park is no exception te this rule. Gee whiz. What are we going to do for pleasure? We have never fully appreciated the park un- til now that We are going to lose it. One of our friends wanted to make an engagement with us for next Tuesday night at Forest Park and when we in- formed him the park would close upon the night of Labor Day you should have seen the blank look that came over his face. It made us laush. Whats the matter?" We asked, you knew it was going 10 close did you not?" Yes, but l never fully under stood how I would miss it until now. he answered.
 And that's the way every one seems to feel. When We knew it was there we never fully understood how we would miss it when the season end ed

HAVE JUST INSTALLED
ONE OF THE NEW 2Oth CENTURY MANGLES-IN THE LINE OF
 IMPROVING HEALTH.

It is a We'll known fact that it re- quires a boiling heat to kill all germs. It is also known that you cannot get your clothes boiled when having them done by your washerwoman, as nine out of every ten wash your clothes with the same water and never boil tnem-and at the most they only use two waters, one to wash with and then to blue them. Now, as the city has been having lot of fever and oth- CT sickness, we think you can over come some of it by having your work sent to steam laundry. In the first place. we boil them with steam; in the second place. We give them eight diff ferent waters, overcoming the soapy smell you have from washerwomen; in the third place. if a garment is missing you have recourse, while in nine cases out of ten if anything is short from the washerwoman they say nothing for fear of losing her; fourth, prices are such that it is as cheap to have them done by us; sixth, if it rains it is the same, you get your washing; seventh. you don't have to worry about your washwoman not be- ing after your linen; eighth, we are prepared with our new machines to turn out 50,0o0 pieces day, and, as we have gone to this expense, We feel that the people of Pine Bluff will give us a trial, and if your work is not satisfactory it costs you nothing.
 Our motto. We guarantee you clean, white. beautiful linen. The American-Excelsior Laundry Co. ex- eels all others. barring none. As we lead, others follow.
