MEMPHIS GAMt
 IS POSTPONED
Local High Eleven Will Not Journey To Memphis, Till Saturday, oc.
 tOber l5.-May Play Today.

The weather this week has been such that the football squad of the High School has not been in uniform since the game Monday afternoon. The team is in need of practice and Coach Bloom is very anxious to be- gin some hard work in the way of scrimmaging If the weather is fav- orable this afternoon the regulars will line up against the second team which was organized a few days a2o. The gome will be played at Ninth ave hue and Oak street.
 The game announced yesterday for Saturday with the Memphis High School at Memphis will not be play ed, as Coach Bloom received mes- sage last night stating that the Mem phis High School had asked for game Saturday, October 15, instead of Saturday, October s. However, before the message was received last night ;, the announcement had been made that the Pine Bluff team would go to Memphis Friday afternoon and play Saturday.
 The change ill the date of the Mem phis game is very pleasing to the lo- cal boys. The Memphis High School team is recognized as one of the best High School teams in the south and lis regarded as worthy rival of the Mississippi U. The change will en- able Coach Bloom to give his boys more practice before the contest with Memphis High. The local High School lis strong after the state champion ship this season. The taking of the first game from Clary filled the boys with enthusiasm and they are deter mined to beat anything in the state.

MISS CAMERON
 PLEASED BUT

In prize ring parlance Miss Daisy Cameron, who appeared at the Elks Theater last night in Nancy" a con- edy drama with absolutely no attrac- tive features, can "come back to Pine Bluff, but she should train in faster company theatrically speak ing. Miss Cameron is a clever little comedienne and has won much favor in vaudeville in the past. She sings we'll and her rendition of If the Wind Had Only Blown the Other Way was most pleasing. But her supporting company is far from being what it should be. It can never "come back at least we would not like to see il return. The company is small, yes small enough and decidedly bad enough. The play is even worse The audience was almost as small as the company, really more than the company deserved, but those who were in attendance remained to pass the time away. Luckily the last cur tain came down at 10 o'clock, giving all two hours earlier to go to bed and forget it :. The program did not state who wrote Nancy but someone should have written her to stay away from Pine Bluff. Miss Cameron is 6 nice girl and a good little actress, but she should change her name from Nancy" and get in better company. She has a future but with Nancy she will never accomplish much on the stage. The company left last night for Clarepden, Camden, Brinkley, JonesbOro and a few other small Cot ton Belt stations.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cam" reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflame dcondition of the mu- cous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars free. F. J. CHENEY & CO.,. To- ledo, Ohio.

THE DAILY GRAFdlC, nent has come to stay, and is capable ,f still greater development as a gov erning factor in municipal life. Un- Ter it, responsibility is definitely fix ed for every needed act and enforce ment. and by reason of the three reg ular sessions of the Board each week and the opportunity afforded a peti- tioner to confer directly and at all times with the Commissioner who must investigate and report upon hls claim, the question of time and dis tance between the citizen and hls city government are largely removed.
 IL may be said to represent the dlf-
 ference between constant and Occas- ional supervision; and after all' if thee is any one thing, aside from
 having honest officials, which will
 banish all forms of graft, it is rig i'd inspection and watchful supervi-
 sion of all municipal affairs.
 "In closing, beg to quote in part
 from an editorial i, the Dallas News
 of September 18th, entitled Claims
 of Various Achievements:
 "'We are in the midst of an epoch era Radium and the Doemthen ray have lately been discovered. We have
 learned to fly and to swim without
 getting wet beneath the waters sur
 face. Even now we are celebrating
 or uuarreling over-the discovery
 of the North Pole, the triumph of a
 half centurys tragic efforts. These are big achievements and they make
 a clamorous demand for our applause. And the applause we give them un- stintedly and ungrudgingly. Yet we are minded out of a sense of justice to an achievement which, if more mo- dest. is not less beneficial than some of those which have got louder ac- claim, to claim a place alongside Of those for the discovery of the Con- mission form of municipal govern- ment. The idea, although it is undergoing evolutionary process, is the principle of submarine navigation or of man flight through the air. And in point of actual accomplishments it has been of more worth than both of those, nor are we ready to believe that they will ever confer so much benefit on society as it has derived from the Commission idea of munich pal government It was discovery that had none of the elements of the spectacular. It had to prove its work before it won any recognition beyond the immediate locality of it's birth. The press of the country every day bears abundant testimony of the suc- cess of this idea; the only complaints of it are from politicians whose dis are tribute to its af- f:ciency. The discovery of the Con- mission idea of municipal govern n.ent deserves to be listed among the best achievements of recent years and it deserves some recognition as testl- mony that not all the wonderful en- ergy of our age is being spent for spectacular achievement.

GOVERNING A CITY
 BY COMMISSION

Alderman w. r. Blocker of Fort Smith is in receipt of a copy of an address on the commission form nf government which was delivered by Hon. c. B. Gillispie, commissioner of finance and revenue of Dallas, before the meeting of business men of New York City. The address was received from Auditor w. T. Henderson Block CT when he was engaged in business in Northern Texas. This Endorsement of the commission form of govern ment will be appreciated by the Pine Bluff citizens who favor adopting 1t for the government of this city, Mr Gi]lispie says:
 "'In the two years experience of Dallas under a commission form of government many miles of streets lave been substantially paved; the enforcement of sidewalk construction Is general throughout the city; four new parks have been acquired, num- erous public buildings have been erected, extensive additions to the water works system are under way, any many reforms have been brought about; among which was the reduc- tion in the city's street lighting from $73.00 per arc light per year to $60. In a financial way the city has shown a decided improvement. It's books are maintained up to date in every re- spect and the status of any funds or account can be ascertained at any hour as easily as a bank can show depositor's balance. New methods and systems have been invoked; daily itemized reports of all collections are required, together with deposit daily with the Treasurer of all funds collected, alf of which is followed by regular systematic checking of all de- rartr1ents. The City of Dallas oper- ates 33 departments under what is known as it's General Fund, aud which does not include the School. paAk, Library, Water and Sewerage, Street Improvement and Interest and Stalking Funds. On May 1s.., l90... enc month before the present Board of Commissioners assumed control, the General Fund of the city was over- drawn $122,575.27, which was the re- suit of two acts of the former council administration:
 list. Making an excess budget ovz- CT receipts of $67,OS4.66.
 2nd. Expending in excess of its budget, $55.49o.61.
 During the two years ending May l, 1909, the Board of Commissioners maintained these departments at a net saving under the cost by the for mcr administration, and by enforcing the collection of all revenues it was enabled to liQuidate the above over draft and close the fiscal year with credit balance in it's General Fund of $10.290.02.
 "The affairs of the city are treat ed as a business proposition and are handled about the same as a banks directory would manage it's affairs, and during the two and fraction Of years of the Dallas Board of Com m.sssoners. no disruption of any kil.d
