FOND ISSUE

At the general election in Septem- Der next, the people will have the op- portunity of voting upon one Of the most important amendments ever pro- posed to the Constitution of the State of Arkansas.
 Over fifteen thousand qualified vot- CTS signed the petition, asking that the people be given the privilege Of :aying whether they have the sover- eign right to amend the Constitution, so as to allow our cities and towns to issue bonds for public improvement.
 Under the old antiquated Constitu- tion this right is denied the people, and as result the cities and towns of Arkansas have Jagged behind those of her sister states in civic improve ment and municipal development. and all those things that go to make up a live. progressive and beautiful city
 We can never reach the high ideal of statehood and enjoy the full frui- ton of civic endeayor until this bar rier has been removed. either by adop- ton fof d lnew qonstitptions or the amendment of the old one r s'

 Minneapolis requires majority vote on eaci1 street Pine Bluff might adopt this plan, but always with the idea uppermost to perfect this scheme of the trees and streets running north and south, agreeing in name This plan is observed in Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans, with wealth of beauty and appropriateness as the result.
 Arbor Day as selected for Arkan- sas, is according to pamphlet is sued by the American Civic ,AssOcia- ton, December 18th, which this state observes very irregularly. This seems fitting season for the ob- servance of this day, as the trees then have time to adjust themselves, before the heavy rains of Spring.
 If as Aristotle said, "the city is a place where men live common life for a noble end," hten let us, for Pine Bluff, prove it by our decision to observe Arbor Day, on December 18th, of this year, and in all years to follow. Here's hoping fhat this suggestion of the City Beautiful Club as to the selection of trees for streets of like name, will prove agreeable to these most concerned and enlist the interest of our ely fathers, for anon {; these are all the needed qualifications of symmetry, foliage, stateliness, hardi ness and freedom from offensive odors.
 Trees have been the subjects ot poems by Longfellow, Shakespeare, and Rusk;n, and how touching were the last words of that noble old Vir- ginian, Stonewall Jackson, when he said, Le't us pass over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees" MRS. J. H. MANN.

 No nossible excuse can be for the existance of unsightly fences ln GUY of Pine Bluffs size and reputation. Existing coalitions however make fences a necessity in the minds or many but this necessity does not pre- c,ude that these barriers may be hide ous..-

 Garbage collection and garbage disposal have been treated of. in general way, so many times that it would seem that the last word had been said Instead of handling this great subject in a general way now. probably more can be learned by taking some phase of the subject in detail. l will. therefore, confine this paper to the discussion of the "gar- bage receptacle" alone. Every gar bage can, unless it is emptied daily and thoroughly washed after empty ing (which is practically never done, IS in hot water sure to be offensive. The annoyance from it can probably never be entirely done away with, and 1t is only with great care and at some expense that it can be reduced to minimum

THE BILL BOARD NUISANCE

Extracts from Address of l.. l.. Leonardo
 Ladies and Gentlemen:- :-Perhaps d story of the St. Louis litigation may not prove so entirely encouraging as MT. Mcfarland pictures it
 His introduction may develop some embarrassment for him. In fact, I find introduction of billboards very often do.
 I was called on in St. Louis a few weeks ago to speak before the Mems Club of the Second Baptist church. was introduced by very estimable lawyer of a religious turn of mind by the name of Abbott. He prefaced his remarks with the usual introduc tory remark that he was not supersti- tious and did not believe in signs, and then he added what was new one to me, a quotation from the catechism, to the effect that billboards were not outward and visible sign of an in' ward spiritual grace"
 I told him I was surprised man so well versed in Biblical quo. ation should not have discovered the verse from Matthew which says: "Ya hypocrites. ve can discern the face of the sky, but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"
 Shortly after that I was asked to speak on billboards before another association, when the man was intro duced me said that he lived at the Washington Hotel, and with him boarded at the hotel friend by the name of William $ 'mmcns; that op- posite the hotel there was very large and offensive billboard which annoyed William to very great ex- tent. Will am also was behind in his indebtedness to the hotel, and that also annoyed William. But he said he honestly thought that the board- bill did not bore Bill as much as the
 
 pick up some strange introductions to this billboard cross.
 We found. that in the city of St. Louis there were-approximately 1,500, 900 square feet of billaoards. of which eighteen per cent were double deckers, so-called. We found that the number of advertisers represent ed upon these billboards were 293 in number. Then we inves igated as to the nature of products that were advertised upon the billboards We found that there were three great classes of products that were by all odds the great advertisers.
 These three classes of commodities ran from 135,o00 square feet to 139,- GOO square feet; in other words, they practically were equal users of bill- boards. Those three commodities, as you night surmise, were liquors, to- bacco and theaters.
 In other words, all the grea'. ad- 
 vertisers upon billboards are almost without exception the non-productive. or largely the parasite industries. An advertisement of necessary of life would increase the market for fooa- stuff, clothing, shoes, etc.. enabling the people 10 continue their work and to increase their wealth and the worlds wealth, and take their part n the worlds work: whereas, great many things which we all use are of necessity luxuries. and the industry thasssprodaces them does oftnecsssiss exhaust the worlds wealth because it's use is a pure luxury and pure waste.

GOVERNOR OPPOSED
TO EXTRAVAGANCE
ON PART OF STATE

Governor Brown said today that he
deplored the legislatures apparent ten
dency to disregard the financial condi-
ton of the state. He said that he fa-
vored a constitutional amendment
which would limit the general assem-
bly, in the matter of appropriations
The governors plan is to require the
tax receivers Of the various counties
to make reports to the comptroller gen.
eral before the middle of July, and to
amend the constitution so that the leg
islature can not appropriate more
money than is actually in sight at that
time
This, the chief executive believes,
would not only free the state from
financial difficulties, but prevent many
foolish appropriations.
The governors statement came after
it had been suggested that an extra ses-
sion of the legislature would be neces-
sary If the present tendency In f1nan-
cial legislation continued.

Meanwhile the German Music Pub

between Viennese operetta and Ameri-

is going TO the dogs, as it were. They
declare that Wagner, Chopin, Bee

DAUGHTER SIDES
AGAINST MOTHER.
Hannah RaChmiI Defends Her
Father on Trial for Striking
His Wife.

Pretty sixteen-year- old Hannah
Rachmil turned against her mother and
strongly defended her father, Robert
Rachmil, when the latter was arraigned
before Recorder Broyles today, accused
of striking Mrs. Rachmil in the head
with a chair.
Mother has always abused father
and always will, I guess" said the
daughter as, with d dainty handker-
chief. she tenderly wiped tears from
the cheeks Of the weeping father
Rachmu, until about six months ago,
was wealthy merchant of Philadel-
phia. Beset by financial reverses, how
ever, he closed his business and came
to Atlanta. Since then the family has
been living at 1856 Central avenue. 1t
Is understood that they still. have con-
siderable property interests in Phila-
delphia
Miss Hannah, who appeared in court
attractively attired in white, told Judge
Broyles that their home life had been
ruffled ever since her father failed in
business. She blamed 1t all on the
mother, declaring that a few days ago
Mrs. Rachmil struck Rachmil with a
cuspidor.
Mrs. Rachmil, who wore big piece
of plaster on her forehead, said her
husband became angered at her yes
terday and struck her in the head with
a chair. Rachmil protested that his
wife attempted to strike him with the
chair and that in the struggle the chair
was showed back against her head.
A local organization has been aiding
Rachmil to get on his feet again, and J.
Jacobs, one Of its officers, made
strong plea for him. He said that
Rachmil Is finely educated, speaking
and writing seven different languages,
and that he is held in high esteem by
business men, both here and in Phila-
delphia.
Judge Broyles ruled that Rachmil
should not have struck his wife with
a chair and bound him over TO the
state courts in bond of 800 on the
charge OF assault and battery. Bond
was promptly given.
