A TRUE STORY

A certain lady in Pine Bluff hesi- tated many weeks before she could make up her mind that sfe could
 afford to pay 65 cents a month for the Graphic. She finally concluded that, afford it or not, she must lave the news every morning and she therefore telephoned the circulation manager to deliver the Graphic next day. The third morning she notic- ed a bargain sale advertised in ar, attractive half page ad and before ten o'clock she was "down town saving money. When she got home. and compared the price of purchases with the same articles purchased by her neighbor at another store a few days before, she found she had saved twice the cost of a years subsc cip- ton to the Graphic. She was con- v'nced that it pays to take your daily nome paper, and her neighbor was lnconsolable until she straightway fol- lowed suit, called up the circulation manager. etc, etc.
 Moral: It pays to, take the Morn- ing Graphic.

A FOOLISH IDEA.

HedQerS or newspapers should Oe more liberal minded and display bet ter judgment, especially in Piaa Bluff. On many occasions in the past several months the Graphic, in .ts efforts to give the public all the news. when it Is news, has published accounts of fisticuffs arrests and many other items that have ten- dency to affect certain persons, whs dislike naturally to see their namss in print in connection with matters that do not reflect credit upon them. In publishing these stories the Graphic is only performing duty it owes to itself and it's readers and it will continue ito give the news re- gardless of whom it might hurt.
 It is amazing to note opinions ex. pressed by persons who are so un-
  episodes or criminal proceedings, for in almost every instance charges of personal grievances have been registered against the reporter or the editor of the paper and men, who are in public positions and who ought to display better judgment, have accused members of the Graph. ic staff of publishing the stories be- cause they said the writers did not Hike them personally or had it in for them.'' This is entirely too -i- diculous to demand any comment. The Graphic is a newspaper and it has the right as public medium to give the facts and publish full a,- counts of all matters that affect the citizenship of Pine Bluff.
 There is no personal feeling satis- jed in the columns of this paper. It is not published for the purpose of giving anyone an opportunity to sat- isfy his personal spite and further more is not issued for the purpose of doing anyone injury. Public men and public institutions belong to the peo- pie so to speak and the court re- cords are open for publication. AS long as the Graphic can get the facts fin public matters it will continue ro publish them for the benefit of its readers, who ought to be informed of all matters that affect the city and the citizens generally.
 The employees of this paper have no i'll will against any man, woman or child in Pine Bluff. If you don't want to get your name in the Graph ic in an unfavorable light, let your conduct be free of criticism and | avoid criminal prosecutions, person. al difficulties and other acts that | might result in an expose being made 1 through the press.
 The Graphic has no axes to grind. It is for the upbuilding and general moral uplift of Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and Arkansas. It is a news paper and it's worth as a distributor of news when 1t is news is being more fully realized each day. It is not the policy of the Graphic to do harm it matters not how much pre- judice is displayed against its en- p1ayees by others.

"The Man Of the Hour '"
What the Play is About.

Mir. BrOadhurst has taken for his central idea he political situation as ! it exists today in nearly every city of importance in the United States He l builds his story upon the scheme of a machine boss and q shrewd financier to liam through" the city council per petual franchise 10 q certain street rail way. Passing this bill of course means large amount of money to both par ties Election is at band, and in cast ing around for certain candidate for ma, or who can be properly handled, young Albin Bennett, whose father re- gently dying, left him a large fortune, is selected as a fitting candidate. Ben nett is in love with the financier's niece, who has told him tbat he must show himself to be more than mere idler before she can become his wife. The mayoralty is his opportunity. He accepts the nomination, and after a strong fight wins the election. Later the franchise bill, passing the council, goes 10 the mayor for his signature. Bennett, realizing it is a steal, refuses to sign it. He withsLands all manner of pressure, even at the probable cost of losing his own sweetheart and sweep ing away her own personal fortune. But in the end honesty, of course, proves the best policy. and sur1uount- ing obstacles well-nigh impossible, Bennett wins his sweetheart, saves her fortune, and preserves his own honor. Although the story is an intensely dra- matic one, it is well interspersed with comedy.
