MONDAY COURT RECORD
 IS SHATTERED AT LAST

For the first time on Monday in the history of Pine Bluff, say the police, 'there was not a single case tried in police court yesterday morning. Only one wawrant was issued Saturday and Sunday, while ordinarily Saturday is the big day, as many as twenty-five or thirty being arrested. Lately, however. the number of minor offend- CTS has been small. This is said to be due in part to the fact that usual ear " fall business is picking up and the element that fills the docket in police court is too busy at work to get into trouble.
 The only warrant issued was for Willie Howard, negro, charged with stealing pistol. The case was trans terred to a magistrates court.

HANDICAPPED
This is the Case With Many Pine
 Bluff People.

Too many P.ne Bluff citizens ae handicapped with bad backs. The 'un- ceasing pain causes constant misery. making work burden and stopping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning s stiff and lame. Plasters and miniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys are weak. To eliminate the pains and aches. of kidney back ache you must cure the kidneys.
 Deans Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys-thousands testify to their inert Can you doubt Pine Bluff evil dence?

Second Ave, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: The public statement I gave in June 1908 in which I recommended Doan's Kid ney Pills was correcs in severy par ticular and dI am pleased to confirm it at this time My kidneys did not do their work as they should and ] was bothered by lame and aching back.

Washington, D. G., Aug 26.-Wom- an, lovely woman, is fast gaining equal political recognition with mere man. The coming campaign will witness the unprecedented spectacle of the three leading presidential can didates making an earnest plea for female votes. While the Progressive party is the only one that has incor- porated plank for woman suffrage in it's platform, both the Republican and Democratic leaders are estab- fishing national organizations witt, women at their head for the purpose of attracting the female vote in the six states that have already granted equal suffrage, and for the moral ef feet it may have on the male voters in other states, where this question has become a burning issue.
 The voter will not only be treated to the unusual spectacle of an ex- president trying for a third term at the head of a new party, hut will have the pleasure of seeing and hearing female spellbinders who will stump the country in, support of their fa- vorite candidates.
 Colorado, California, Idaho, Utah, Washington and Wyoming are the six states in the union that have all ready given women the right to vote, and it is estimated that there are 80O,0OO female voters in these states.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-08-27

So formidable number has to be reckoned with even by presidential candidate. When Colonel Roosevelt swept the state of California in the presidential primaries last spring, the female vote, it was claimed was re- spohsible for his enormous majority The states above mentioned have 65 votes out of a total of 531 in the cleo toral college.
 Active work has already been begun 1 by the various presidential candidates to capture these votes. The Women's s National Wilson and Marshall Organi- zation with Mrs. J. Borden Hartman at the head, has openec it's headquar- ters in the Fifth Avenue building, N. Y, and the work of forming state organizations is heinz rapidly con- ducted. Governor Wilson's three daughters, and Mrs. Thomas Gore, wife of Senator Gore of Oklahoma, are few of the other prominent wom-
 en connected with the Democratic campaign.
 l The Republican organization, not l to be outdone, has announced the ap- pointment of Miss Helen Boswell, of New York, as chairman of the Wor
 ems League for the reelection of
 President Taft, a woman's auxiliary organization to work for the Republi- can organization in the equal suffrage states. Miss Boswell is president of l the National Women's Republican or ganization. The Republicans, how ever, have received a slight setback, owing to the refusal of Miss Mabel { Boardman to act as head of the ad- visory committee. Miss ,Boardman,
 who is a close friend of the Taft fam l fly, has decided not to enter into the campaign owing to her position as head of the American Red Cross So- ciety.
 | The "Bull Moose" party is by no means depending upon it's woman suf- 
 l frage plank to attract female votes. They have opened national wom- sen's organization in the Metropolitan 1 Tower with Miss Alice Carpenter, a
 prominent advocate of equal rights in charge, and the work of organizing state clubs is rapidly under way.
 Miss Carpenter has submitted plan of organization prepared by the wom- l on members of the National commit i tee of the Progressive party, which
 ,has been approved. According to 1 this plan each state and each county scomlnittee is to have at least one
 woman member. They are to be at tached to the party headquarters and work with the committee shoulder to shoulder. Their special work will be
 enlistiDg women in the campaign, and particularly getting suffrage workers out to spellbind for the Progressives. Joy reigns throughout the suffra- l gette camps throughout the country. lsThe leaders are enthusiastic over the present situation, and while they ad- init the election of any presidential candidate they may support will not result in equal suffrage throughout lthe country. the claim that the reoog- milton of the movement by the big political parties will have strong

moral effect on hastening the con- stitutional amendments in the various states throughout the union, provid- ing for equal suffrage.
 The attitude of the National Ameri- can Woman Suffrage Association in the coming campaign will be strictly non-partisan, according to the Wom- ans Journal, the official organ of the organization. It claims that the association will work for no man or no party at the polls, but will try to defeat it's enemies. Thus, the friendly attitude of the party leaders prominent members are openly work ing for the Bull Moose party, attract ed, no doubt, by the woman suffrage plank. Miss Jane Addams, one of the pioneers in this organization, sec onded Colonel Roosevelts nomination at the convention of the Progressive party in Chicago.
 Besides the six states which have already granted equal suffrage, there are four states in which this question will be submitted to the voters in the fall elections, namely, Oregon, Kan sas, Michigan and Wisconsin, On September 3 Ohio will decide this question when it votes on the adop- ton of it's new constitution.

THE SHAN IN THE ENFORCEMENT.

1To HAT the Sherman antitrust act as now enforced is a sham
must be as apparent to everybody who reads as IT is to
Wall Street. which was very much afraid OF the law Wnen
the prosecutions were begun. but is not a bit afraid now. Ii Is
true that the tobacco trust and the Standard Oil trust had to
change their form of organization, but that was all They con
Time 10 do business at the old stands. 1t was only a change OF
form. Now the only reasonable objection to a largely financed
business enterprise relates to its character. Its size and even its
form of organization are practically nonessentials in public policy.
The point lies in it's objects and its acts. Regulation by govern
ment should properly apply to those objects and acts. L they are
criminal under the law the criminals should be adequately pun
ished. and obviously there should be individual responsibility. The
administration plan is to break up a big corporation into a number
of smaller units and let it go at that. The several unitsc can act as
one. exactly as the tobacco and Standard Oil units are now doing,
With the same results as before. The aim TO be accomplished is the
public good. How is it served by such proceedings? And what
benefits can come from the spectacular prosecutions by the de
partment of Justice except to the lawyers engaged? The fear of
the corporate eviIdoer does not lay well with the department of
Justice, but with Congress and the possibility of a change IN the
law, which, while giving plenty of scope to big business" can
eTectuaIly hold in check the powerful predatory interests that seek
TO be above all law, and that constitute the real injury to all
legitimate bUsiness
