Entered at Postofice at Pine Bluif. Ark, as second class mail matter.
GRAPHIC NOT IN ERROR.

The Graphic is called upon to de fend itself against a statement, made in yesterday afternoons paper by Col s. M. Taylor, from which it is very evident that he did not read the arri- cle contained in this paper relative to the matter as carefully as he should have.
 The Graphic is not criticising Col onel Taylor for his action in writing recommendation for Dr. R. c. Thompson, who was recently endorsed for Postmaster here by the State Re- publican committee. The Graphic dis likes being made the fall guy'' in cy- cry little thing that does not meet the approval of some of its readers
 The Graphic's correspondent at Lit tie Rock Wednesday night sent a spe- cial to this paper from that city stat ing that Dr. Thompson has been c:1- aorsed by the State committee and
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1910-06-24

that in addition to presenting his
 claims before that body, "he also had llrany letters of endorsement, one signed by Col. S. M. Taylor, chairman 1 If the recent Democratic state con yention.'
 In his card yesterday Mr. Taylor ad- I1its that he gave Dr. Thompson let 1 ter touching upon his fitness for the office of Postmaster and that he was an honest man. We will be fair with MT Taylor and say also that in his card he stated that the letter was glv- en Dr. Thompson, at the request of William Burke, some months ago. < short time previously, however, he glve q similar letter to Major F. (. Fur,E, who is also seeking the Feder- al plum. He says Dr. Thompson was his client and that he felt it his duty as friend to comply with Mir. Burke's request. He also states that Major Furth's efficiency in the Postofice was one of the things that prompted him to give him a testimonial.
 But We merely state these things to be fair with Colonel Taylor. What the Graphic wants understood, however, is that the statement of MT. Taylor to the effect that he, as chairman of the Democratic state convention. had en- dorsed Mir. Thompson, was mot cor rect The Graphic did not publish the statement that Colonel Taylor had endorsed Dr. Thompson "as chairman of the late Democratic state conven- tion."
 The Graphic's Little Rock corres- pondent said in referring to pr. Thompson:
 "He also had many letters of en- dorsement, one signed by Col. s. M. Taylor, chairman of the recent Demo- cratic state convention
 The Graphic has high regard for Colonel Taylor and believes that he acted in spirit of fairness and all sincerity in giving both Major Furth and Dr. Thompson letters of recom- mendation, but had he requested the Graphic to make a statement for him relative to the matter to explain it thoroughly to the public, our columns would have been open to him. The Graphic makes daily effort to give it's readers news when it is

Corn Crop is Large.

Stills for the manufacture of liquor without the payment of the special tax will come from their places of hiding in North Arkansas, according to Deputy Marshal Freeman, who came in from that section this morn ing. The corn crop in that section of the state is good for the first time in five years, and a good corn crop means much illicit whiskey. Deputy Freeman says it is not the vigilence of the officers which put the moon- sinner cut of business, but the failure of the corn crops, and this fall the mountaineers will be working up the corn in the old way.

Increase in Liauor License.

The collection of excise tax, income and corporation taxes is on full blast in the office of the Internal Revenue collector and money in great heaps is pouring in daily. All liquor li- censes for the coming year must be paid by July l. as the fiscal year ends June 30 and all licenses expire with it. From payments already made more liquor licenses will be paid in Arkansas this year than ever before. The officials account for this by the increase of the liquor traffic in the state.

HOME COMPANION FOR NOVEMBER.
THE TAILORED SUIT IS THE MAIN
STAY OF THE WARDROBE.

oAA1 III A4A HEA4sAAN0GA
THE woman who has a reputation
for smart dressing and yet whose in
come is small has many little rules
of her own which she puts into prac-
tice when planning her new clothes.
For instance, she never thins.s it
necessary to have a variety Of new
clothes at the beginning of each new
season. Her wardrobe is always
astonishingly small, but each gar
ment in it is correct in style and the
very best in quality. that she can
possibly afford. Each new blouse or
costume is always bought or made
not only on account of its own parti-
GUAR charm, but it's relation to her
other clothes.
The well-dressed woman who must
make a little money go a long way,
looks upon her tailored suit as the
mainstay of her wardrobe. She never
has it made of inexpensive material
and she never thinks of adopting any
style which is strikingly extreme.
However, she is always keenly alive
to the trend Of the new modes"

Report Of Senate Sub-COmmit-
tee on Elections.
HOLD ILLINOIS MAN INNOCENT
Investigators Believe He Was Ignorant
of the Distribution of Money
Among the Legislators.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Lori
mer of Illinois was given clean bill
of health by the subcommittee of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, which investigated the
charges of bribery made in connection
with his election to succeed Senator
Hopkins. The report of the investi-
cation was to the full committee on
privileges and elections. which ap-
proved the findings of the sub-cOm-
mittee.
Evidence that there was money
passed between certain members of
the Illinois legislature was not ignored
by the subcommittee, but it was de-
clared that if the votes of members
charged either with receiving or pay
ing money had been eliminated Mr.
Lorimer still would have had a ma
jOrity of three votes.
The subcommittee was a unit in as
certaining that the evidence did not
show that Mr.. Lorimer had been con-
nected with the alleged distribution of
money to influence the legislature.
Burrows Heads Committee.
The subcommittee was composed of
Senators Burrows, Bulkeley, Gamble,
Hepburn, Frazier, Paynter and John
StOn
1t had been expected that the report
would be printed and copies furnished
to the entire membership. The in
vestigators, however, were so desirous
of maintaining secrecy that the re-
port was prepared in typewriter form
and read to the full committee.
In discussing the question of brib-
cry it is understood that the sub-com-
mittee was content with Incorporating
in the report all of the testimony af-
fecting individual members of the Illi-
nois legislature. No effort was made
to determine the truth or falsity of this
testimony, but it is asserted that eVi-
dence was not found that Mr.. Lorimer
had initiated by witnesses who told
of the alleged distribution of '.jack
pot" at St. Louis or elsewhere.
