AT n6r tT1al the woman maue
a startling plea for mercy.
She had murdered, she confess
sed to the court. But she mur-
dered because she wouldn't be-
come a white slave" She killed
her husband rather than sell her
honor.
The court condemned her, but
her plea aroused wide sympathy.
Women specially became inter-
ested. They didn't condone the
crime, though they realized how
great was its provocation. Quite
aside from her guilt or her inno-
cence, they felt that womanhood
and motherhood would be out
ragged If this woman, who is en-
tering the shadow of death that
a child may live, shall pass
through the valley only to stand
upon the gallows.
She Is Interviewed.
It isn't easy to interview a pri-
soner sentenced to death under
Canadian law. But prison rules
Notwithstanding, the doors of the
old gray prison swung open, and
for half an hour I sat with An
gelina Napolitano in her cell and
heard her own story.

18. He was older. We came to
this country. Until last October
we were happy. Then trouble
started. Pietro was away three
weeks. Before he left me he say:

BOYS WITH MANNERS.

There are many young school boys
in Pine Bluff just in their teens who
think themselves awful smart and
important. They talk to older per-
sons disrespectfully and do not seem
to realize that age merits respect The
boys seem to think that their long
trousers give them unusual priyil-
eyes. They would do we'll to stay off
the streets late at night and cut out
the cigarette.
Young boys should remember that
their personal conduct is weighed
daily by business men and ladies'
They can start life more successfully
if they do not display too much free
dom with their tongues and refrain
from unpleasant and unbecoming
comment about young girls and ell
derby people. A boy can never tell
when he may need a friend in later
years and just because he happens to
be the "petted child at home is no
grounds for his thinking himself too
important to be criticised.
q like to see a young man with
polished manners and whenever you
see a boy that respects older people
and is not too smart in his manner
you have one who has been reared
we'll at home" said prominent
banker in discussing the coming gen.
Grafton yesterday. There are many
boys in Pine Bluff who are permitted
by their parents to remain out all
night and who simply pull the wool
over their parents eyes. Some of
them hang around the pool rooms and
billiard halls and those who are olo
er, but are still in school, are eve
seen around saloons in the evenings"
The early life of youth has much
to do with his later success in COM
mercial life. Boys are inclined TO be
important when they grow up,
they soon discover their mistake. AZ
errors and eliminate many things
that had proven detrimental to them
in the past.

ducement offered investors here.
This amount would serve as an in
ducement and a bonus to manufac-
turers and the plan would result in
an immediate influx of many small
plants that are so badly needed here
The merchant, who suggested the
feasible plan says he would be will
ing to donate $3.50 as one of one hun
bred merchants and give a big indus
trial plant $4,000 to bring a plant
here that will employ $50 skilled lab
orers regularly. He says the merch-
ants would all get their money back
In the course Of few months in
trade from these workmen and Incl
dentally 1t would help the city grow
There are many small cottages va
cant in Pine Bluff just now" he said.
Everyone of these. places would be
rented to the factory employees and it
would mean additional prosperity for
Pine Bluff. believe the plan
good one and the Board of Trade r
the new Chamber of Commerce should
think it over. There is not a mer-
chant in this city who could but see
the value of making such a donation
1t would be fine investment for
them and they would reap the bene-
fits for years to come"
The Graphic heartily endorses the
proposition. It is about the best solu-
ton of the small factory problem that
has been outlined and the merchan
would enjoy large increase in bust
ness if small industrial plants were
established here.

precincts in the District, makes him
decidedly the strongest man in the
present four-cornered affair. Judge
Gould can win as the contest stands
Low.
Then why spoil Jefferson county's
chances for victory by adding anoth
er candidate from Jefferson. The
Graphic has the kindliest feeling for
Colonel Taylor. 1t believes him a
man of fine ability. Surely no otner
man in the District is more capable
Ct representing his people in the Nat-
lora; Congress. But it only sees de-
fea! for Jefferson county If he gets IN
the race. and home pride prompts this
appeal to our distinguished fellow
citiz,n.
jefferson county ought to have the
representative from the Sixth Dis
trict. Its commercial Importance and
geographical location makes it the
more important why the Congressman
should be from this section of the
state Much is to be accomplished by
the next Congressman from the Sixth
District There is much needed from
the government for Pine Bluff and
jefferson county and a man from
some other section of the state might
forget us in the distribution of APP
preparations for public improvements.
Our river must be opened for naviga-
ton. Our drainage lands must be re-
claimed and it will require the SER
vices of a "home man" to get govern
ment aid. Judge Gould is man of
action and influence. He has been
tried and has never been found want
ing. jefferson county would never
regret his election and the other
counties over the entire District
would never have cause to complain,
fer he would care for their interests
equally as we'll as one of their own.
There is but one thing to do Have
only one candidate from Jefferson
county. Let all of our people work
for his election and it can be accom-
plished. Judge Gould already has
the support of the men of influence
in majority of the counties in the
District Why spoil Jefferson eoun-
tvs chances now?

LET ONE MAN MAKE THE RACE.

Our afternoon contemporary argues
with good judgment when it urges
single candidate in the Congressional
race from jefferson county.
Although considerable pressure IS
being brought to bear on Colonel 5.
NJ. Taylor, the brilliant lawyer and
honored local citizen to enter the race
for Congress from this, the Sixth
Congressional District to succeed Joe
7. Robinson, present incumbent, it Is
generally conceded by his more init
mate friends that he will not yield.
Colonel Taylors large law practice,
his loyalty to his home party and his
dislike for mud singing" and a sem
sational campaign, which the Con-
gressional race promises to develop,
will doubtless induce him to an
nounce finally that he will not seek
the honor
Judge James Gould. the first man
tC announce for Congressman Robin
sons place, is in the race from JET
ferson county. There is no doubt
about Judge Gould being IN the
contest to the finish. He has never
been known as gutter and it might
be stated that he has never suffered
defeat. Garland county has two men
as Judge Gould's opponents. These
p.cn nd theiI friends have bea3 ,,rs
ing Colonel Taylor to enter the race,
and it is understood, Colonel Taylor
recently visited Hot Springs With
view to comforting with Judge Gould's
opponents and talking the matter ov-
er. The Garland county aspirants
for tie Sixth District plum are
shrewd politicians They have only
their own selfish ends in view They
would like to see another candidate
from Jefferson county 1t would fur
tner their political interests in that ii
would split the vote considerably

II Colonel Taylor announces for
Ger gress from this District, with
Judge Gould already in the race
from 1e.itrson, what would be the
result? 1t would bring out several
etttr candidates from various othef
