II it will not nro- hibit drinking, why adopt 1t, and thereby reduce the police department who protect our lives, and reduce the Ire departments, who protect our pro- pcrty from fire?

It will breed blind tigers. Such things have been gwen birth where prohibition now prevails. Many places could be men- toned
 All fair and open minded men know that prohibition does not prohibit. If may give some people an opportunity. however, to become law-breakers. The criminal records, Or rather the trial docket Of the Circuit Court, shows that during the year 1901 here in Jeff lerSon county, where the saloons were not permitted in certain country dis tricts that there were nearly 100 cases set for trial for selling whiskey without license. Isn't that blind tigerism? Prohibition breeds it. The conditions attributed to the open saloon do not exist in this city, as pictured by ma chine and depicted by word of mouth.
 Prohibition is class doctrine. The open saloon has ever been what Bish op Potter called it, the Poor Mans Club.
 But the serious and sad feature of all the agitation for prohibition is the
 induction back into politics of the colored voter, presumably always Re- publican, being brought into this fight by the prohibitionists through their ooii'ieoi D dha SiSiHS tHeul equal force and standing under the law by having them sign the petition now on file in the county court. The prohibitonists agitators have unwittingly or inten- tionally made the colorcd voter, the Republican, a factor in this great question. By either argument or per- suasion the colored voter has been made to sign the petition to make this city dry. It has been said that Prohi- can party. and that no prohbitlonist could be a loyal Democrat and pro- hibtionist at the same time Prohi-

 Advertise Saloons.
 If saloons, continued the speaker :, are an asset why do not the business men of Pine Bluff advertise the fact that twenty adorn the city? Under saloons your city is ill debt $100,0OO and your county has deficit of $40,- GOO. Is this prosperity? ?'

Prohibition Orator Says Saloon Men Are Trying to De- bauch the Voters of Jefferson County With Money He Riddles Argument of the Opposition Cline Goes For Gambling Meeting Success

As Napoleons legions thundered down upon the Allies at Wagram so the prohibitionists hurled themselves against Whiskey, at their meeting last night.
 The meeting was a success in every sense. It was largely attended and both speakers were loudly applauded at different points during their ad- dresses. An effective and telling fea- ture of the meeting was a number of moving pictures showing the results os whiskey drinking.
 The speaker of the evening was Rev. B. H. Worthen. This gentleman is an able speaker, an entertaining talker and a convincing demonstrator. His speech showed him to be thor oughly posted on his side of the liquor question.
 On taking the platform Dr. Worthen proceeded at once to business.
 Goes For Whiskcy.
 He declared that liquor was the cause of nine-tenths of all the misery, poverty and crime in the world He said the people of Pine Bluff should follow the example of Georgia, Ala bama and other southern states and vote it out. He ridculed what he termed the stock argument of the "WetS" that saloons meant nrosnaritv In support of his position the speaker called attention to conditions existing in Kansas, Maine and other prohib- tion states.

Physicians Discuss
 New. Theory
Cooper's Views of Human Stomach Noted
 by Medical Men.

A recent article in the New Orleans Item gives an account of the effect upon the medical profession of that city with regard to L. T. Cooper's the ory that the human stomach is respon- sible for most i'll health. The article is as follows:
 "The astonishing sale of Cooper's preparation in this city has now reach ed such immense figures that the med ical fraternity have been forced into open discussion of the mans theor- ies and medicines.
 'The physicians seem to be divided with regard to the young mans sue cess in New Orleans-some being will ing to credit him for what he has ac- complished, while others assert that the interest he has aroused Is but a passing fad that will die out as quick ly as it has sprung up.
 Tn a statement recently obtained from well-known physician of this city. the position of those in favor of Cooper is well voiced. The doctor said: I am not believer in proprie- tary medicines. but I must admit that some of tine facts recently brought to
Arizona republican., 1908-01-16

my attention concerning this Cooper medicine have gone for toward remov- ing the prejudice had formed against them when I first heard of Cooper's new ideas and medicines.
 Numbers of my patients whom have treated for chronic liver. kidney and stomach troubles have met me and stated that Cooper's medicines has ac- complished wonderful results for them. notice particularly in cases of stom- ach trouble that the man has relieved several cases that were of years standing and proved very obstinate to treatment
 ''I do not wish to stand in the way of something that may be for the public good, simply through profess sional prejudice. and I am inclined to give Cooper and his preparations cred it as deserving to some extent the pop ular demonstration that has been ac- corded them in this city"
 We sell the Cooper medicines. They are proving remarkably successful throughout the entire United States WAkElIN'S PHARMACY.

for several weeks and it will probably be the first of March before the whole city has been trimmed up. Mr. Carr says he has been on the lookout all winter for capable men. men who could not only trim trees right but would comply with the orders of the department and at the same time knew how to direct the work of other men employed to help them. He now has five men at work who are pretty well broken into the business but he could use a few more men if they measured up to the requirements.
 Very few people ever stop to realize the magnitude of this work, but if one will ride up any street in the city and note the number of trees along it. par ticularly in the residence districts, and then pause and consider that there are about fifty miles of street in the city where trees are found with more or less regularity. he will have 9 better appreciation of the task. Probably the most work on the least area is in the Simms addition. where there are two good sized street parks. Westmoreland Place and Portland Place. The trees in these parks have been finished at an expense of about s114 in cash be- side the cost of hauling the brush away. In disposing If the brush the shortest haul possible is taken and thus far most of it has been taken to the residences of poor Mexican famil- ies who are glad to handle the brush for what little wood can be saved out of it.
 Recently there have been cut down several large ash and other trees fol which some criticism of the depart ment has been offered, but in every in- stance the tree was either dead or dy- ing. a menace to those using the streets. and unsightly. except in very few instances where a tree had to be removed to permit of proper sidewalks drainage or other improvement. The theory of the department is never to destroy a tree unless it has to. And in the trimming. as said before, the city Is glad to have the help of all property owners, if the trimming is done properly. Otherwise the trim mers will be stopped if they are caught in a work of destruction. for the city owns or at least controls the trees and has the authority to pro- tect them.
