THE WILL AND THE WAY.

Judge James Gould of Jefferson county, not only has the will to sup press gambling and violations of the Sunday liquor law, but he has also provided the way. He has notified all saloonists holding license under him that unless they obey the law permission to do business in Jeffer- son county will be withdrawn. Yes terday Judge Gould issued an order to the police judge of Pine Bluff to furnish the county clerk with an of ficial list of saloon keepers in that city who have been convicted in po- lice court since January 1st of this year of violating the Sabbath or the gaming laws, or for selling liquor to minors. The list, it is said, will be prepared at once and filed with the county clerk. Judge Gould takes the position that law-abiding saloon ists ought to be protected against the lawless saloonist, and the thin subterfuse of pleading guilty to the charge of laboring on Sunday will not relieve the Sunday violator of the more serious charge.
 The Garland county saloonist has been loaded with restrictions and conditions which are violated every day in the week, and vet it required mountain of evidence and the opinions of TWO courts to secure the 1 revocation Of single license. No demand has been made mon the police court for list of convicted Sunday ,violators or saloonists who have violated the conditions attached to every liquor license. The burden has been placed upon the people in- stead of upon the saloonist and upon the shoulders of the officials, where 1t properly belongs.
 We submit that Judge Gould has

 4 cold cloth at the base of the brain is another simple method of relief The compress should be folded and laid across the neck, changing it as soon as the chill leaves. The same kind of an application may be made on the wrists.

IT IS OUR DUTY.

We want 10 congratulate the Graphic for not taking outof-town advertisements 1t seems that they appreciate the fac' very much that they are supported i the people of Pine Bluff. Boost those who boost you.--Pine Bluff Retail Mer chants Association Bulletin.
 The Graphic appreciates the kindly spirit in which the above was writ ten, but it does not feel that it ought to be congratulated or patted on he back for doing thing that it believes to be fair and right The Graphic has always contended that home patron age and support is the key to success for any town or city. The Graphic does not solicit out of town adver- ments from firms that deal in the same kind of wares as are handle1 by Pine Bluff firms. It has repeatedly rejected and will continue to turn down advertisements that may have a tendency to send trade that rightfully belongs to the Pine Bluff merchants away from home, and especially is retail merchants, notwithstanding the fact that in many cases this paper has been offered princely sums to run dis play ads of this character.
 While the Graphic is being run for financial gain. ii does not permit it. self to become the tool of out of town money order houses or retail con cerns in neighboring cities just ba- cause they happen to have the gold or silver The Graphic values home pride and duty to it's readers and home advertisers and other merchants high CT than it does money. The Graphic believes in supporting and building up firms that help to build up Pine Bluff. Recent years have proven that in the growth of Pine Bluff, which is accomplished only through home pa tronage and support, that the Graphic will also grow and that it will receive business in comparison to the devel- opment of the city in which it is pub lished. The Graphic is for Pine Bluff and it's business interests.

q T6SO1ulIbI hdiNh cV; b"'S' - holding county, district and state elections, and all on the same day, Ii being the general opinion of the dele gates that there are entirely too many elections and too much politics Ill Arkansas for the good of it's conner cial interests.
 4 suggestion has been offered that tho nrinary he held in this county on October j. Such date would be
 ahsurd In the first place the political
 game in Jefferson county has been re ferred to entirely too early. NO ofil~
 cial announcements have been made bv any of the candidates and the im-
 pression is that none of them Will care to announce until January l, which would give candidates an op- portunity to make a thorough can yass. An early election is not deSir- able, especially in view of the fact that the fall business will be at it's heighth and that the business men, who ought to take an interest in poli- tics and who will undoubtedly do so at the coming primary are too busy to engage in a political campaign.
 The candidates themselves should object to an early primary. The ar gument that a candidate would eXpend more money in the event hat the pri- mary was held at one time or another is out of the question and should not be considered. And the last legisla ture paid special attention to this one objectionable feature of elections, when it passed an act regulating cleo tions and expenditures.
 Senate Bill No. S7, by Rowland, the act regulating primary elections in makes the laws so string ent that any candidates violating them would be severely punished and un give money to aid him in his race
 The bill says:
 Section ,. Any person who shall Soiiei or accept for himself or for another. an gift donation of any kind or charactt to become a candidate for any office such person soliciting accepting such gift or donations shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by d fine of not les than $25 nor more than $3OO. and e:Ici' donation or gift solicited accepted shat constitute separate offense.
 Section 6. Any person who is can didate for any office in this state or candidate for the nomination to becoF q candidate at any general election wh shall glyc or offer to give any gift donation to any person during the tia that h" is d candidate such candilat giving offering to give shall be deeu", guilty of q midemeamor and upon Gonyie tion shall be fined in any sum from s11 to S3OO
 The law also provides that candi- dates shall file with the county clerk an itemiZed statement of all his ex- penditures, covering the entire time that such person is a candidate

HEADACHES CAUSED
 BY THE HEAT
Simple Cures With Hot and Cold Ap. plicatiOns on Head and Wrists-Am. mOnia Water Is Helpful.

When nervous headaches, that are sometimes an accompaniment of in tensely warm weather, come, a su.- ferer should try for a combination treatment that is both relaxing anl stimulating to the nerves. In this method cooling the blood is not sui ficient, although it is a help. For as a rule one reason for the pain is blood pressure on the brain, and therefore any remedy that will draw the blood from there should aid in cure. f one can put the feet into hot bath, in which there is teaspoonful of dryT English mustard to a gallon of water, and let the eXtremeties remain there for fifteen minutes the effect is us ually beneficial, but such treatment can only be taken by those who stay a home.
 For the one who is downtown and may be able to snatch only five min utes at time, hot applications some times work wonders. Witch hazel congresses are both simple and ef ficacious A tablespoonful of witch ture Of benzoin should be put into basin with half pint of water as hot as/ can be borne. Into this handkerchief or small towel is dipped until wet and is laid hot over the forehead and eyes As the con- press cools it should be wet again and put back for ten minutes at least, and more if there is time.
 The same mixture of benzOin and witch hazel is then put into half pint of soda water and cold compress es applied like the foregoing. The benefit of this treatment lies in the fact that the first relaXes nerves and to normal.
 Drinking a cup of hot water in which there is half teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda will sometimes be tremendous relief when suffering from hot weather headache. Di gestion does not always work when the thermometer is high. and food does not assimilate, and often in such cases bicarbonate of soda will sweet en the stomach and so the head may cease to ache.
 A trained nurse recommended ire quent bathing of the face in cold wa ter, in which there is sweet spirits of ammonia, when suffering with pain in the head Half teaspoonful to an ordinary basin of water is the pro- portion, and in this the face is soaked, using cloth for the purpose.

DISCOURAGE AN EARLY PRIMARY

Some of the candidates for county offices seem to favor an early primary
 There is much discussion among the candidates and the voters of this county on this line and there seems to be some grounds for discourage ment. for those who are agitating an early election. It is doubtful if an early election in Jefferson county would be beneficial to the candidates of Jefferson county any more than i, would be to the candidates of other counties throughout the state.
