All argument against tho free bridge by imported speakers cannot induce progressive-sp spirited property owners to change their views. They know what the free bridge will mean to Jefferson county, and they want to 90 forward, not backward.-Pinc Bluff Graphic.
 We'll spoken. It isn't merely what the free bridge will mean 10 Pine Bluff and Jefferson county, but what the spirit of progressive improvement as indicated in the building of the bridge would mean for the state as a whole. Every big industrial or com mercial improvement in any section of the state reflects credit on the state as a whole. It works like a regular sympathetic nerve system Little Rock Democrat.

You need no decoration save the flowers in season. and if you have potted plants place them where they show the best Arrange the flowers simply, in vases. bowls and baskets; place them on the mantels, in front of fireplaces, on the piano and on the porches. I should say that the living room would be the best place for the bride and the guests, as it is doubt less the largest. You do not need place cards unless you seat the guests at small tables and serve all at once I am afraid the little two-year-old will be too young to assist. When you wish to reply to the remark men, tioned, just say, T am sure the pleas ure is mutual; I'm glad I met you, too.' There are no set phrases for certain occasions just be your own natural self. Perhaps you could place all the parcels in a flower and rib. boned tie basket and let the wee daughter drag it in by white ribbons to the bride-elect.

IT vou have been reading our de- partmont all these years you certainly deserve to have all your questions an- swore1 and invite you to come as often as yon choose.
 Seems to me I would run in to see the daughter informally, if you are neighbors; it does not pay to stand too much on ceremony. A girl of eighteen is not too young to have her own cards and they should be engraved just Miss Smith, no initial and no name. This shows that she is the only or eldest daughter.

 The story of the film is entrancing King Henry VIII is giving adience, surrounded by his chief advisers, in cluding Cardinal Wolsey. perhaps the most pathetic figure in all of Eng lands history Among the guests that attend this reception is Anne Boleyn, one of the most beautiful of the queens ladies. King HenV sees her for the first time and immediately sets his heart upon making her queen in place of Catherine
 He appeals to Cardinal Wolsev to set aside the tenets of the church and consent to his divorce from the queen. The cardinal absolutely refuses, which angers King Henry. who induces the Archbishop of Canteroury e call a special council, through which he div orces Catn-rine.
 In punishment for his refusal to aC- cede to the kings wishes. the cardinal is eXlcI to Leicester abbey. A sick man when he enters the monastery, he dies three days afterward, con scious to the end that he had sustained the sacradncSs of his office a martyr to his faith and of service to his king.

The Salt River Valley Farmer

The farmers of the Salt River val ley never before faced such prospect of prosperity. Abundant crops are assured for some of them have been gathered Never before has the de- mand for them been so brisk and the market so broad, with so many signs of permanency
 What this season is the farmers may we'll believe all seasons will hencefurth be. one thing is certain and that is that there will never be a crop failure again in the Salt River valley. Of that the Roosevelt dam gives assurance. It is almost certain that the prices for the products of the farmer, his hay, his grain, his cattle and all that may be grown or raised in the Salt River valley will never be less.
 The present high prices have not been brought about by unnatural con ditions or by any abnormal de mand. The increase of the demand is outstripping the increase of pro- duction, and in the very nature of things it will continue i'll a still great CT measure to outstrip it.

4 Setback for Aviation

The science of aviation received it's most serious setback in the death ot Phil 0. Parmalee at North Yakima. Wash on Saturday. There was al ready long and discouraging roll of dead ayiators. But in most cases the death of them could be traced to recklessness as in the case of Arch. Hoxey, who invited death. or as in the cases of scores of young and fn- experienced eXperimenters.
 Only a few days ago an eastern paper hopeful of the development of aviation, especially pinned it's faith to such men as ParInaIee who were well trained and were conducting their ex- periments along scientific lines. Of all the airmen he was probably the most careful and certainly, none was more familiar with the machinery of the aerOplane. Previous to his ex- perience with the Wright brothers he had long familiarity with motors of the type. the best so far devised. for the propulsion of aeroplanes.
 He never accepted needless chances in his flights. He never induIged in spiral glides or other thrillers for the thousands who watched him. Yet, he is dead Gs is John B Moissant, an other aviator who devoted himself 70 the art of flying and not to the thrilling of watchers.
 The death of Parmalee more than that of any other aviator whose name is included in the list of the dead casts a doubt upon the possibility Of the aeroplane ever becoming more than an attractive toy. The success of it must depend, in the first place, upon the absolute perfection and de- pendability of the machinery Human hands and brains have never yet de- vised anything absolutely perfect and dependable and they never will. Per lection is approached but can never be attained and when failure comes in the air fatality ensucs.
 But if the aeroplane were brought to what we might call perfection un- der normal conditions, there would yet be the unexpected and abnormal con ditions which every airman has en- cOuntered or feared he would encoun- ter, when he went aloft-the Swiss cheese air or the sudden gust Then, too. there is the aviator himself, q human, and all humans are falliblc

 It is doubtful whether the govern ment could have made headway against the activities of the rebel leader but for the energetic action of the United States in preventing the smuggling of arms and ammunition across the border. If that did not break the backbone of the revolution it at least crippled it. so that when a decisive battle is fought. that will probably be the last of the present in- Surrection.
 There may, indeed, be no battle Disaffection already prevails at tn, rebel capital Perhaps by the time the fcderals come they will have nothing to do but chase detached bands of brigands.

A suburb of Pittsburg is the first community. so far as we have seen. to make official declaration that the fly is an outlaw, as a preliminary to it's eXtermination. The city council has passed an ordinance entitled. An ordinance to prevent the propagation of flies and to provide d penalty for the violation thereof" Flies are branded as enemies of society on these grounds: Born in filth, reared in filth, they feed upon filth and carry filth with them. not only causing an noyance but making a trail of filth and death wherever they go" No doubt the example set by this city council will be generally followed elsewhere. The movement against flies has been slow in gathering head way, but it is now making rapid prog ress, and soon wherever they may go they will find price set on their heads. The nursery doggerel. Come into my parlOr." helped create senti- ment for the fly, but it is recognized now that the spiders only fault lay in not adopting stern measures. in- stead of depending on the gentle methods of persuasion.

National Committeemen

There is a good deal of talk about the national committees of the politi- cal parties. MT. Roosevelt abuses the present republican committee and says it isn't representative. He ob- jects to the selection of Elhu Roct as temporary president of the Chi cago convention. As the New York Evening Post says:
 MT Root was described by Roose- welt as the ablest man who had ap- peared in public life in his time. He also said once that he would crawl on his hands and knees from the White House to the capitol to make MT Root president. But now 'e would crawl to Chicago to preveit his presiding over the republican convention"
 The fundamental objection is to having the present committee in charge of the convention prelimin- aries. Some members today do not stand for the element that has sue ceeded in their state primaries and their successors have already been named. We have way of saying loosely chosen but in fact the states name the members of the national committee but these do not serve until they have been named and ac- cepted by tn national convention.
