POLICE START WAR
 AGAINST THE CANNES
IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR DOG KICKED AROUND PUT X
 MUZZLE ON.
Chief of Police Parnell and City De- tectiye McBurnett Spent Entire
 Day Killing Untagged Ours.

Police Chief Evan Parnell turned back yesterday to his old trade of butchering, not by himself but assist ed by several members of his force, plenty of fresh meat last night. The chief and his men were not clothed in white aprons and white caps to do the dirty work but went forth armed as crusaders and when the last shot was fired last night the chieftain had the scalps of about twenty dogs dangling from his belt. And that's S not all tho chief says the good work is not over yet. He says the war against the en- tire canine population of the city is on in earnest, not war like Mexican revolution, but real war where if he can't kick the life out of a dog he can shoot it.
 From the chiefs story of the way he slaughtered dogs yesterday and led his men on to still more deadly work among the common class oa dogs, the chief means what he says. Brass collars with the name of some obscure parsonage will no longer be a protection for the yellow cur. The dog that doesn't look good to Chief Parnell and his men will be murdered on the spot for the dog crop is getting too flourishing to suit the city off cials who always have in mind the public safety. If all the dogs in town were to go mad at the same time there would certainly be some calam- ity and so the Pine Bluff police wish to guard against such a happening.
 While commenting on the dog sit uation and his victories of yesterday Chief Parnell also stated that those dog owners who have provided the small leather muzzle consisting of about two small straps must make other arrangements if they wish to Parnell stated that the muzzles must be strong and so arranged that the l dog has absolutely no chance to bite anything, nay, not even drink from the babbling mud puddles in the gutter. This may not be welcome news to the owners or the dogs either for that matter but Chief Parnell thinks it is the best plan to have a good muzzle. dicted that there would be more food for the sausage mill today if any stray dogs were discovered. So good so far.

 Clark may be the best man to win with. and he may not. The Demo- crats will have to be guided in their selection of standard bearer by the action of the Republicans.
 Many people believe Roosevelt will be the Republican nominee, and that if the former president is nominated Democracy's only chance for success lies in placing Gov. Harmon in the field.
 Whether these are right or wrong, is not of material difference. The proposition is: The Democrats must play politics. They must select the man who appears strongest the coun- try over.

THE WISE COURSE.

The Democratic convention of Ark ansas will be held in little Rock We'd nesday, reports indicating that a delegation instructed for Champ Clark will be sent to Baltimore.
 If the Democrats of Arkansas de- sire to serve the party-and to serve the Democratic party means to serve the people-they will not bind thelf delegates hand and foot to any one candidate. The delegates should be left free to cast Arkansas vote for the candidate who evidences the greatest strength in the country at large.
 The delegates should be left free to act according to the dictates of their 1udgment. The only thing that can prevent the election of Democratic president this year is blunder by fhe Democrats. Whether Democracy shall achieve victory rests with the Democrats.
 The Arkansas delegates to the nat ional convention, no matter who they may be, can be depended upon to do what is best for the party; they can De trusted. Therefore they should not .beE bound with sinstruct pms A I,et them cast Arkansas vote for CEazap Clark on the first ballot, if # S ~ I3S )deaire to show this courtesy to 21f M afffsourian, but afterWard let

Right you are, brother. There are lots of such people in Pine Bluff. Some of them think they can dictate the policy of your paper, flood its edl- torial rooms with prose and poetry and when you do not find space for 1t they "stop" the paper and start an insurrection against the press and the ink it carries. But somehow or other the press continues to run and the fellow who quits the paper goes next door and reads his neighbours. Such is the way of the world.

New Fire Proof Annex Albany Hotel

The success of The Albany Hotel,
Denver, for the past few years has
been such that many who wished to
patronize this hostelry, corner of 18th

to seek accommodations elsewhere
on accountof the Albany seeming al
ways to be crowded.
Literally, this is true. Other hotels
have been doinga successful business
taking care of The Albany's over
flow, and in order to accommodate
all who wish to stop at The Albany,
the owners wisely decided, six
months ago, to build seven-story,
absolutely fire proof annex, this
annex to have l2O rooms, each
with IL bath. This does not
mean bath between each room, but
it means u bath each room. This
large addition to The Albany will be
completed, fully equipped and fur
nished by July.lst.
While this annex is being built.
100000 is being spent in remodeling
that portion of The Albany which
was built SIX years ago, installing a
private bath in each room. AT the
same time, the original part of the
hotel is also being given attention in
the improvement line, seventy-tive
additional rooms with bath being in
