M-CT.u. ORGANIZED.

This place. How often we hear
these words spoken in most deprecat,
ing tones. What does it mean? Are
towns of the West more wicked than
those of the EastY Is Clifton one OF
the worst of the wicked towns of the
West? We know that the men of
Clifton are not an aggregate of GRIM
inals who have fed from Justice some
where else and come here to practice
unlawf pursuitsi but they are rath-
er, men of intelligence energy and
ambition who have come for the legit-
innate purpose of seeking employment
or engaging in business in more profit
able fields.
1t is the women who afe responsible
for the moral tone of the home. Are
they not equally responsible for the
moral status of the town or commit
nifty? Most of the WOMEN of Clifton
have been reared and educated in the
schools, with the moral aud refined
environments of the best parts of the
United States Or Europe. Do not
these men and these women consti:
tute the town? Some of the women
are asking "Is Clifton as bad as it has
the reputation of being? If so, why
and how can things be mended?"
They are making up their minds to
Investigate the conditions and see
what may be done to remove this
stigma from the name of Clifton. In
accordance with this idea several
women met in the Lodge Hall Satur-
day afternoon and effected an organ
ization of d w. G. T. L. Miss Georgia
Holmesley was elected president,
Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Elliot, vice
secretary, Mrs. Widener, treasurer
This was but a small beginning and
little more was done than arrange for
another meeting which will be held
on the third Thursday in May, at three
O'Clock D. m. at the home of Mrs.
Terrell in Hills Addition.
The disc uSSions at this preliminary
meeting showed that in this move
ment, as in all others, there will be
both radicals and conservatives.
What is sought is not division but
unity of action, some way in which
all the women of Clifton of every
church and of no church at all, may
be Joined in work for the common
good of the town. Every woman in
Clifton is not only invited but urged
to attend the next meeting ana o
come with something to say. This
work needs the support of all who
think that something or much should
be done; and the conservative may be
needed to restrain the Carrie Nations
among us. 1t is only by getting to-
gether and freely discussing the sit
uation that we can get a right basis
for work.
Let US ask ourselves, Do we not in
a great part deserve our reputation?
Are there not many glaring evils to
be corrected and many things left I'M
done thar should receive our atten-
ton? ''Come, let us reason together"

Nleht Hatchmen for Clifton.

The business men of Clifton have
formed a pool and III the future will
employ several night watchmen for
the town of Clifton, whose business it
will be to stay up at night and lay
for some of the thieves who have
been visiting the various business
houses of late. This is the best step
that has been made for the reason
that those who are doing the work no
doubt have been sporting the where
abouts of the local officers and never
take a possible chance to get caught.
The employment of special watchmen
is a good proposition and it should
and will receive the support of every
business man in Clifton.
Only few of the men who are pay
ing for the protection will know who
the watchmen are, hence you need
not be surprised if you are approach
ed and asked what you are doing,
should you happen to be around a
suspicious place

CANNOT AGREE ON
CHAMPIONSHIP
Pine Bluff Will Contest Hot Springs
Claim to Champion Basket Ball
Ball Players OF Arkansas.

Pine Bluff, it seems, will not agree
to Hot Springs claiming the title Of
champions Of Arkansas in the contest
for basket ball supremacy, and will
contest their claims This informa-
ton was conveyed in special from
Pine Bluff to the Arkansas Gazette from
yesterday While Pine Bluff has a
good strong team, and, as they say,
only lost two gmes, they were de-
feated by the local lads, and were not
graceful in taking their medicine, as
was the other teams that met defeat
al the hands of the locals. Their
seems to be no grounds for argument
in this matter. The local lads have
won, and they rightly claim the cham
pionship title, Pine Bluffs bluff to
the contrary Notwithstanding Hot
Springs News.
