step forward like that proposed in Jefferson county.
 Too long there has existed a sent- ment of building up one section at the expense of another. Such a policy is not only selfish but extremely illogi- cal for the progress of the state. The impression gained by the outsider is that of the state as a whole, not that of particular sections The more clear ly it is demonstrated that every sec tion of the state is progressive, pros porous and broad-minded as to it's neighbors, the more attractive will the state become to the discriminat- ing citizen from some other state who | is looking for a change in location. For one section of the state to profit by another's loss is worse than mere ly swapping dollars, for there is no net gain to the state by the exchange, while there is an emphatic loss in the time and energy consumed in trans ferring activities.
 In addition to all this, we believe most sincerely that the construction of more substantial bridges across the Arkansas, and particularly at points so strategic, commercially, as Pine Bluff, will result in the further eX-
 tension of railway activities up and down the magnificent valley of the Arkansas, with a resultant industrial development along intensive lines, so that everybody within a reasonable radius will be profited, the great ad- vantage, naturally, coming to those in the immediaie ie vicinity of the inn provement.
 Here's hoping that the proposed bridge will be built.
 That's the right spirit and the way practically every progressive spirit ed citizen of Jefferson county feels about it We want to see Lii, tie Rock grow, for when it grows the state grows and when the state grows Pine Bluff and other cities and towns in the state will grow. The state cannot go forward however, unless it's citizens i get behind it and make the necessary public improvements, sometimes at a sacrifice The Free Bridge will join Southeast Arkansas to that part of the state which lies north of the Ark ansas river and naturally it will bring about increased trade, more valuable farms and bigger and better cities and towns that surround it. The Gra- phic believes that Pine Bluff can hold her own ill the progress wave in this state, but it must aid itself. The ar gument that has been advanced that if the Free Bridge is built Little Rock will get trade from this territory that now comes to Pine Bluff. If the ar gument holds good why did not Lit tie Rock and Pulaski county citizens refuse to build their free bridge be- tween Little Rock and Argenta. They might as well have argued then that trade would come to Pine Bluff from Little Rock. The Democrat looks at the proposition in he light it should be viewed Barkis is also willin here, too Pine Bluff has territory that is bound to make it one of the biggest cities in Arkansas Let's all go forward and grow, and may the best city win Pine Bluff refuses to take it's hat off 10 any of them when progress and development is at stake, When we get our Free Bridge you'll have to go some to keep up.

"Biu Men and Crime"

Fig, healthy men seldom go :, ,rong," says a Kansas City judicial oracle. Tt is the thin. shrimpy tyne who are the criminals" Yet a New York financier recently convicted was a 240-pound shrimp; another recent Boston financier caught in Bombay and brought back to Charlcstown prison was an anemic wisp weighing 250 pounds; still another Boston brok. CT who trimmed everybody ill State street before going to languish at the Charlestown reception house exceeded the 25G-pound limit of physical deli Sacy.
 More and more frequently is it be- ing proved that assertions are totally independent of inform ation.

In commenting on the. construction of the free bridge over the Arkansa river at Pine Bluff, as being of un usual importance and advantage t that city, the Pine Bluff Commercial says:
 A representative of The COm-
 mercial has just returned from
 trip to Drew county, and met
 number of people on the trains
 from various parts of southeast
 Arkansas. Nearly every one
 wanted to know about the pros
 poets for the free bridge at Pine
 Bluff, and nearly every one eX-
 pressed surprise that anyone
 should oppose it.
 In this connection it may be of
 interest to know that the business
 men of Monticello are feeling
 highly encouraged over the pros
 poets for getting railroad which
 will connect their city with Cros-
 sett. This road will be of con-
 siderable benefit to Monticello,
 but it will give Little Rock and
 Monroe big advantage over Pine
 Bluff in the Monticello territory,
 and Pine Bluff will be unable to compete with these two cities un-
 less railroad is built from this city into the Monticello territory.
 Granting that all the Commercial balieves about the free bridge is true, with respect to it's giving Pine Bluff q chance to compete with Little Rock At the same time the business men oi Little Rock are not willing but anX- ious to see the big free bridge prop osition put through by their enter prising sister city, says the Little Rock Democrat The people Of this place are always ready to take chances ons any industrial improve ment project, no patte.~ how, much it may build up andther municipality, ana the tglad handasis at all times inclined to extension whenever any section ot Arkansas undertakes.a big
