poison is a degree less virulent. The
difference. however. may be considered
negligible and ceases to interest the
patient after few minutes. Among
the Australian cobras. the pit vipers of
America and the great West African
vipers there are species with evil repu-
tations. and the most alarming feature
is that the aggressive snakes are all
desperately poisonous.

THE POsTOFFICE PRIMARY

While the suggest on that primary elections be held for the purpose of selecting postmasters is approved In one 1T two small towns, the idea is net meeting with the. general appro- val 2e members of Congress, the press and patrons of the various
 j,o:t-offices throughout the country. In many cit es the suggestion $ be- ing :idicu.ed and laughed att and termed as "a plan fraught with dan ger to the best interests of the city"
 Congresseman-elect Horace w. Vaughn, of Texarkana, in discussing the proposition says: eff the Demo- crat; admin straion places upon me tine responsibility of making recom- mendaticns, I will neither shirk nor shift t, but will disclarge the duty and wll endeavor to do so in such man.lsr as to promote the pubic selvicc and please my constituents. will consult the wishes of the peo- nle of the locality to be served. and particularly those in such locality who lonored me win their friend ship and support. Wh le l realize that these off ces belong to the peo- pie, also realize that we Democrats won the victory and in the consdesa- tion of these matters should be given preference. While l recognize my duty to treat fairly those who op- posed me for the nomination, also nscogaize my duty to ia rly treat my fiiellf and will gve them prefer Fn nce xll things being equal.

If the City Beautiful Club had not originated the street cleaning idea, the general "clean up" movement ill this city, established the playgrounds, brought about new pavements and a successful campaign for better streets and alleys and the establishment of a new pavement to the cemeteries, the city officials who would use their ef- forts to further their personal ends politically, might pull the wool' over the eyes of the people of Pine Bluff. But the City Beautiful Clubs work was too general to admit of any suc- cessful attempts to steal the honors that rightfully belong to the enter prising and public spirited ladies of Pine Bluff.

partment and the police have been spending most of their time "vote get ting" or to be more correct, trying to get votes for candidates in the present city campaign. The people of this city do not approve of city en- ployees being used as politicians. They should attend to their duties and when they do this they have got about all they can do and there would probably be better results from their work if they did.

fliction. Is it the intention of the advocates of the primary o perm Republicans, Bull Moose, negroes, Clinamen or Indians to participate :n the distribution of Democratic patronage? If not, then the advo- cates of the movements are rot sin- cere :n their proclamations.
 Take patronage away from party and the organ zation will die. The rope of political preferment, of an office is the thing that excites many of the workers to activity. If the Democrats are not to enjoy the fru ts of their victory there will be little incentive for party work later. In some phases the postoffice pri- mary plan appears to be scheme to disrupt the Democratic organiza- ion.
 However, be that as it may, The TexaGkanian's only purpose in oppos- ing such an election IS to avert in- jury to Texarkanas interests. If the city is to progress as it should, there should be harmony and cooperation among the citizens. The line of de- marcation between Texas and Ark ansas ought to be obligated insofar as Texarkana s concerned, because the interests of both cities are identi- cal.
 Any proposition wherein the resi- dents of one side are to be pitted against those of the other ought to be discouraged by everyone; who wishes Texarkana we'll, and it is to be hoped the real civiists W Il take no part in the attempt to precipitate campaign of bitterness between residents of the ciies.
 "Texarkana' interests must be cons dered above those of aspirants to the pcstmastersh D"
 The Four-States Press of TeXar1 kama takes the same view Of the postoffice primary idea. The Press deals with the subject in the follow ing words:
 "The holding of an election for postmaster in Texarkana would not only occasion all the excitement and engender ill-w Il but would also ar ray enc class of citizens against the other.
 "With a campaign on, the asDirants woull likely advance any argument to catch votes, and it is not to be believed that all would refrain from appealing to prejudice by injecting personalities into the fight thus di- viding the city against itself and wrecklng greater injury n few weeks than years of work by broad minded and patriotic citizens can un- do.
 "Tha welfare of the city must be 1 considered above the aspirations of individuals. Texarkana cannot af- ford such an elect on as is being ad- voca,ed. In bu lding great city, it is necessary thac all be united un- der the banner of harmony. This cannot be if the people are to be 2r- rayad against each other every four years

What we want is not mayor in the meaning of the word, but a, mayor that will be alive to the interests of the people all the time The paved streets of Pine Bluff must be preserv- cd. They cannot be if those who con- tinually tear them up are not made to replace them as they should be. Our streets ought to be cared for by the city officials. The mayor of city can protect them, if he will.
