The value of this line of road to Memphis is apparent at a glance. It opens entirely new territory, and it gives direct communication with new towns right down to the Arkansas western boundary line. Dr. Caldwell, secretary of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, estimates that there are 600,000 acres of rice land in the territory, comprising part of six counties lying between Pine Bluff and Memphis, capable of producing 30,000,000 bush els of the grain. Stuttgart alone milled 100000 bushels of rice in 1908 with one mill, and a second mill of 1000 capacity now being built will not meet the requirements tor 1909 and 191O
 The county of Jefferson has de- cided to issue s175,000 in bonds, to- ward building a railway and wagon way bridge across the Arkansas river at Pine Bluff, and it is with a view 10 securing the use of this bridge for the Memphis and Pine Bluff road that President Brown it to confer with the bridge commissioners.

 Now it is a question of connecting Memphis and Pine Bluff, and enter prising men at both ends of the line are at work on the enterprise. James s. Warren of this city has bean in correspondence for some time with the owners of land between Memphis and Marianna with view of pro- curing the right of way. It will be recalled that several years ago the Iron Mountain had a project tc get into Memphis by way of Pine Bluff 1t went so far as to procure right-of-. way and even to fell trees along that right of way preparatory to tht com mencement of grading. But let1th ga Iron Mountain dropped the plan and arranged to build in here from Wynne. The result was that the Pine Bluff route was abandoned and the Iron Mountain holdings were forfeited, The plan now is to have the right of way revived in the interest of this in dependent road, and it is with the end in view that Mir. Warren has been corresponding with the property own CTS along the line. 1t is enough at this time to say that he has met with every encouragement and that no diff faculties in that direction will be en- countered.
 That the Memphis, Paris and Gulf people are favorable to the extension in this direction at this time is suffi- ciently evidenced by the fact that President Brown is already negotiat- ing with the Jefferson county com missioners.

 In the present estimates the needs of the departments and of the Gov ernment has been cut to the quick, so part of Congress. so often made in times past, that the estimates have been prepared with the expectation that they may be reduced, will result in seriously hampering proper adminis- traitor.
 The Secretary of the Treasury points out what should be carefully noted in respect to this reduction Tn govern; year, that the economies are of two kinds-ffrst, there Is saving In the permanent administration of the de- partments, bureaus and omess or the present reduction in expenses by a postponement of projects and improve ments that ultimately will have to be carried out, but which are now deiayea in the future will permit their execu- ton without producing deficit.

This can not be done without. tnor- ough reorganization of bureaus, ofiices, and departments. For the purpose or securing information which may enable the executive and the legislative branches to unite in a plan for the permanent reduction of the cost of gov ernmental administration. the Treasury Department hassinstituted an inyesti- gation by one of the most skilled ex- pert accountants in the United States. The result of his work in two or three bureaus, which, If extended to the en- tire Government, must occupy two or more years, has been to show much room for Improvement and opportunity for substantial reduction in the cost tion. The object of the investigation Is to devise means to increase the av- craze efficiency of each employe. There is great room for improvement toward this end, not only by the reorganiza- ton of bureaus and departments and In the avoidance of duplication, but also in the treatment of the individual employe.
 Under the present system 1t con stantly happens that two employees re- ceive the same salary when the work of one is far more difficult and import ant and exacting that that of the other. Superior ability Is not rewarded or en- couraged. As the classification Is now entirely by salary. an employe often the easiest work. for which alone he may be fitted.

 I am aware that there is strong feeling in both houses of Congress, and possibly in the country. against the sh that this Sas naturally grown out of the heavy burden of military pensions, which 1t has always been the policy of our Government to. assume, but l am strongly convinced that no other prac- tical solution of the difficulties pre4 sented by the superannuation of civil servants can be found than that of system of civil pensiuns.
 The business and expenditures of the Government have expanded enormously since the Spanish war, but as the reve- nues have increased in nearly the same proportion as the expenditures until recently, the, attention of the public, and of these responsible for the Gov ernment, has not been fastened upon the question of reducing the cost of of the advancing prices of living, hope to save money by reduction In the standard of salaries paid. Indeed, If any change is made in that regard, an increase rather than a decrease VIII be necessary; and the only means or economy will be in reducing the num- Der of employees and in obtaining greater average of efficiency from those retained in the service.

Caldwelfs Syrup Pspsin for awhile and you will find yourself rapidly get ting better and stronger. your bowels Twill regulate themselves and work at stated times. and then your headaches and dizziness will disappear. Don't take strong cathartic pills or salts. but just such a mild and pleasant-tasting remedy as pr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
