 nat Pine Bluff needs a more aggres- siye and businesslike administration of it's affairs Not only have it's rev. enues been exhausted but it's credit has been badly impaired and what have the people to show for their money. Filth from the river to the park and from the cemetery to the shops: the poorest lighted streets and the most abominable sidewalks to be found in any city of America of equal importance; devastation of an important section of our city by the river through shameful neglect of city od1cials. and many other things not necessary to mention. The Graphic does not doubt but that Mayor Toney has done the best he can, but that best is immeasurab1y short of re- uuirements; 1t knows he is honest, but that does not overcome other de- ficienc1es. Personally the Graphic likes him-he Is a genial whole-sou.- ed, well-meaning, honest fellow. But he is not fitted in temperament or training, talents or capacity for tne oflce he Is holding.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

This is Christmas Day. The Graphic extends it's heartiest good wishes to its many readers. It is the most significant festival of the year.. Let us for once put aside selfishness and enter into the spirit of this occasion with the whole heartedness that the consequences of the great festival merits. Let us put away the cares and worries of business; the vexa- tious problems that go to harrass and annoy us the year round, and in re- membering others, forget self and be happy. This glorious day comes but once year; it is but a little journey to the Other Side: let US make merry while the pulse of Gods blessed gift of life throbs within us.
 All of us should make the occa- sion happy ono for the dear little ones at home-for the husband, wife. father, mother, sister or brother. Let us not forget how meaningless this blessed season may be to those whom we always have with us-the poor. Let us endeavor to see that not one of these poverty-stricken ones shall pass through today with an empty stocking. AS God has pros pered let us minister to them. Let each one of us search out one of the needy and make him or her happier for just one day. They are all Gods creatures-these needy ones-clothed in His image. Let us help them to an of what Christmas day means.
 The man or woman who seeks to banish from the fairyland of children the beautiful myth of Santa Claus is an enemy to the human race. The spirit that would shatter this cherish ed hope of hwelvemonth, this bright ray of joy reflected through the vista of the year: that beclcons the tots to the happiest day of their lives and leaves its sweet memories of full and enchanted dreams, does not measure up to the full breadth of citizenship. Rather let up per petuate this delightful mystery of the ages.
 May we-all of us-enter into the, spirit of the season with hearts at tuned to the beautiful lesson that t
