THE MISTAKE OF DAVIS.

So far as those who live outside OF
Arkansas are concerned, the outcome
of the gubernatorial contest was of
small Importance. The candidates
were men of, local fame only and no
particular issue was involved.
The campaign was given, however,
a somewhat national significance by
the appearance of jeff Davis therein.
This gentleman was not a candidate
for any office, and so he had no eX
cuse for abandoning his place in the
senate. and neglecting the duties
that devolved upon him. Had he been
ator, and been sorely pressed at home
by his antagonist, We could have par
doned him for leaving Washington
and attending to his broken fences.
But Davis was not candidate for
office He was already safely seated
in the senate for about five years to
come. His going to Arkansas could
subserve no good purpose, and he
comes out Of the contest distinctly dis
credited He began by challenging
District Attorney RhOton to deadly
vocal combat, and then he flew the
coop He denounced dozens OF Ar
kansas politicians as liars, crooks and
so forth. declared untruly that he
had beaten his cane over the head
of prominent judge in Arkansas
and left indeed trail of vituperation
and unsavory language behind him.
We have never thought that Jeff
Davis was a man Of senatorial caliber
and his recent course has confirmed
our impression. Senator Isham G
Harris was in his day the most pow
erful politician in the South; and he
maintained his ascendancy by keeping
out OF local fights. When he wa!
invited to take hand, he shook tina
wise head of his, said he had friends
on both sides, and declared that they
must settle it among themselves. A.
a rule, no politician can afford Il
MCuUlc ia IL ll6AC Ao4 CiA oAAiSN iA'ASA ~
to that which he holds. When he doe:
he lowers himself and his position
he invites attacks from all sorts an(
conditions of men, and he paves tn
way for his own ruin. The polite
ian who wishes to be successful
should fight upward, not downward.
Jeff Davis by meddling in super
fiuous and offensive way in a contes
that was no concern of his, has seal
ed his own doom. He will serve on
his term as senator and then he vii
be carefully consigned to the politica
dead house. Even those citizens il
Arkansas who are friendly to Davis
will be apt to resent his attempt t
dictate the next governor Of the state

All honor to the various woman 5
clubs which have inaugurated cru
SADIE against dirt and disorder in
Pine Bluff | join them heartily in
the desire for clean city. "Cleanli-
ness is next to Goodness" is often
quoted as a scriptural utterance, but
is as true as if it were a scriptural
quotation. by all means get rid of
weeds and garbage, tin cans and
waste paper. Main street from Bar
raque to Sixth avenue, and other
streets embracing the business blocks
are most unsightly every day with
waste paper of all color and descrip-
tons, loose cotton and old rags until
they present a scene of general UNI
tidiness. Throughout the city there
is lack of attention to front yards,
lawns, sidewalks and drains. Will
not somebody deliver us from bill
posters and distributors of handbills,
dodgers and the like. Such things
are a great nuisance and worth next
to nothing as an advertising medium.
After all there is something in APP
pearances Proper self-esteem makes
us desire to look we'll. First impress
sion are often lasting. We have a
fast growing city. Strangers are in
town every day Many of them are
prospective investors. Uttered
streets, foul alleys and untidy lawns
are not strong recommendations, nor
will visitors count them as valuable
assets. Self-respect, city pride, good
health and property values urge us
to clean up.

rah for the ladies' Yours for clean
