WHY SHOULD THIS
BE In PINE BLUFF a.?

There are three newspapers i'll this
city. Two of these, the Graphic and
the Commercial, are daily newspapers,
both pronounced by outsiders, as well
as at home, TO be creditable journals.
All these three newspapers have most
credtable job offices and neither OF
them have to send abroad to have any
thing done-they can and do print eE-
erything at home.
Now these newspapers are constant
ly asked to publish puffs for individ-
uals and associations and the articles
containing puffs and complimentary
notices of many of these concerns are
brought to the newspaper offices and
asked to publish free of all charge the
items as mentioned above when the
printing is given and done by the local
job offices that have no newspapers
and are, therefore, poWerless to give
any notice whatsoever Of the job work
that they have done. Indeed in some
cases some of the printing is done
in Little Rock and elsewhere. Many
people who thus derive benefits from
their local papers never even give
the newspaper job offices a chance to
make bid. Yet they expect to see
high praise given them in the news
papers which they have treated SO
badly.
Is this right? Is it fair? Is this
just? No man who will give the mat
ter a moments thought who believes
in justice can possibly think that it
is even half fair. The newspapers work
every day in the year, especially the
daily papers, for Pine Bluff and have
done so for years, and naturally they
are wide-awake, when anything like
the above occurs. In fact, they find
out every such act, and, while the
people have a perfect right to give the
job offices their work, they certainly
cannot expect the daily papers to do
the free act for them in their papers
when the work is done elsewhere.
So long has this thing been going on
THAT the newspapers are positively
disposed not to be the "hewers of wood
and drawers of water" any longer and
henceforth they need not rely upon
the daily newspapers to do their work
as above stated in future, when they
take their printing to job offices alone.

THE CENSUS.

The census is the most important
work of its sort that falls to the ma
tional government. Accuracy is indis-
pensable for it. An Inaccurate census
is worse than none Every business
interest as we'll as every political in
terest is concerned to have the work
done as we'll as possible. To get il
done as we'll as possible the president
has recommended that appointments TO
clerkships in the Office be made on
open competition. The director of the
former census backs this recommends
ton. The Hon. Carroll ID. Wright eSti-
mates that the mere extra cost to the
government OF the spoils system of
appointment was over $2,000,000 The
actual cost to the country of inaccura-
cy and laundering cannot be estimated.
states have urged that open COMPETE
ton should be adopted. Against this
array of evidence in support of the
practical and businesslike method as
opposed to the spols method the COM
mittee is obdurate.
Not only has it stricken out the pro-
vision for competitive examinations as
test for selection for clerkships, but
it has stricken out the provision that
in the appointment of enumerators the
director should have the authority to
appoint the substitute mail carriers
and the substitute rural free delivery
agents in the districts to which they
belong. These men being a select body,
chosen for duties closely correspond
ing to the enumeration, cannot be ex-
pected to serve the purposes of the
politicians as their own dependents
would. The headhunters are out for
every bit of the patronage involved in
the places connected with the GEN.
sus, some 10000 in all, and the great
and lasting interests of various classes
OF the people do not weigh in the

Advantages of Dehorning.

There are many advantages in de
horning cattle When not de-
horned many cattle are very mean
and harmful, and often gore other
cattle, horses and sometimes even
people. When dehorned all fear of
this kind is removed. The cattle
are much more easily haltered and
can be more easily handled and hal
tered or put into stanchions when
free from horns. Many fences and
gates are often destroyed by the rub
bing and scratching of the horns All
the energy and strength which would,
be put into the large horns would
be distributed to some other part of
the body If the cattle are dehorned.
When feeding the cattle together and
when feeding them salt, If all are
dehorned no one will get it all or
gore another while eating. The
males of the herd viii be much
gontler and kinder if they have no
horns to gore others and possibly
men.
There are many ways to dehorn
cattle. Nnen the nOfnS or buttons
as they are sometimes called, first
appear on the calf then is a good
time to remove them, for it will not
pain the calf or injure its growth;
and it can be done by clippers made
for the purpose or by a sharp knife.
When the COW is older and larger
cattle may be placed in a narrow
stall and after securing their heads
fast with ropes, use a common meat
saw to remove the horns, and they
should be sawed off near to the head
so they will not grow out again. A
patent machine is also used to re-
move the horns by knife between
two levers, but think this still more
cruel than the use of the saw.

The Wool Taste in Mutton.

II has been pretty we'll conceded
that the wool coming in contact with
the flesh in dressing is the cause of
"woolly" mutton, but it is doubtful
II it is not proper to charge the
"woolly" taste to slow dressing. The
wool coming into contact as it does
only at the opening of the stomach
cannot possibly impregnate the whole
carcass with the undesirable favor of
"woolly' mutton. The cause of
"woolly' mutton is unquestionably
gas accumulating in the stomach af-
ter the death Of the lamb or sheep.
1t takes but a very short time for de-
composition to set in where the en-
trails are left in a dead animal, and
the 'woolly" taste and smell of NUT
ton very much resembles that OF de-
composition in a slight form.
In the case of old sheep their NUT
ton carries a 'woolly" taste, due no
doubt to the presence of excessive
yolk in the skin. "Woolly" mutton
Is more in evidence during summer
months than at other seasons. The
starting OF the yolk has, no doubt,
something to do with this.
Rapid butchers are usually the
cleanest butchers, and they who dress
their lambs in the usual time of less
than fifteen minutes rarely have
cause to complain of woolllness OF
course the time mentioned is not very
rapid dressing.

Mercy for the MercIful-(Luke II. I.
q; Luke II. 1.10; Psa. 2e.l


The one clause in the Lords Pray
er on which Jesus himself laid spec
ial stress is the only one In which we
can fix the measure Of the answer.
1t all depends on the one who prays,
whether this petition for forgiveness
is a hypocrite's presumption or a
faithful mans humble audacity. There
are times when to say. Forgive me
as forgive those who are indebted
to me-" would be to pray for our
own condemnation; but II we are
willing to meet the condition OF the
prayer for mercy, we can attain by
that prayer to the highest reach Of
favor with God. He will forgive us
as freely as we forgive others.
Jesus Is always mindful OF the lit
tie ones. He would tell us that
child has large influence over us be-
cause 1t has large claims upon us.
1t has special need OF love and gen.
tleness. So, to cause a child to
stumble, to lead 1t into sin, is spec
tally mean and despicable thing Then
in this same passage Jesus makes
the duty of forgiveness perpetual. 1t
is a virtue which must be like foun-
tain In our lives. upspringing In suf-
ficient measure to supply every need;
not a cistern, which can be exhausted
by repeated drafts upon its stores.
Ne need to remember always that In
our care for the helpless and the
needy, and in our pity and mercy to-
ward the erring. we can never ex-
ceed our duty. You cannot be too
kind to a child nor too helpful. You
CO. not forgive penitent offender too
often.
The psalmist is praying for mercy
at the. same time that he declares his
integrity. He has done the best he
could, SO far as he knows. He has
withstood evil, he has kept out OF the
company OF evil men, he has been
careful at every point lest his life
should be unworthy of a servant OF
God, and yet he must needs ask at
the end OF all his faithfulness for the
divine mercy. How much that is true
IN all our lifel People who are near
est perfection, In the thought of-those
about them, are the ones who have
the strongest sense OF need; they are
the least inclined to make parade OF
their goodness or 10 demand special
recognition Of 1t.
