the last legislature authorizing the formation of an Improvement Dis itrict in Jefferson County for the pur- pose of building bridge across the Arkansas River, will be made by the Supreme Court on the 17th.
 i Our people are intensely interested in the outcome of this suit and en- tertain the hope that the right to build the bridge may be, the essence of the decree.
 A great and beneficial enterprise af- fecting Jefferson, Lonoke and Prairie Counties is involved in this contest.
 The building of the bridge means the inauguration of a railroad from a point on the Rock Island near Lonoke to Pine Bluff and eventually north by Searcy to Northern markets.
 The Pine Bluff and Northern, which is the name of the contemplated line has already miles of road built and will soon add to that another mile in order to touch hardwood mill .4ll the financial arrangements right of way and terminals have been provided for-the litigation being the only deterrent influence against inn mediate construction.
 The building of the bridge we un- derstand means also the construc- ton of an lnterurhan Electric line touching Pine Bluff, Little Rock and Hot Springs and Ft. Smith.
 Contiguous to this bridge site and along the line of these contemplated steel highways is a country and un- limited agricultural possibilities and vast tracts of primeval forests, which touched by enterprise will add untold wealth to our working resources.
 Our enterprising citizens indulge the hope that the legal status of the act is such that it can be interpreted in keeping with the best progressive spirit, and that eventually the bridge will span the river-Lonoke News.

TAFT VETOED
 APPROPRIATION BILL Indicated in Message Dis
 approval of Ousting Gen eral Wood.
WOULD HURT ARMY
Indications Are That Executive Will Veto Legislative, Executive
 and Judicial Bill.

Washington, June 17-The presi- dent today vetoed the army appro. priation bill.; He returned the bit to Congress with a message indicat- ing his disapproval of the legislativ: provision which would oust Maj Gen. Leonard Wood from the office of chief of staff on March 4 next.
 In his message the Fires dent said:
 "The army of the United States. is far too vital an institution to the people of this country to be made the victim of hasty or imperfect theories of legislation.
 "It is we'll known that the war
 college and the general staff have been for many months engaged upon a comprehensive plan of army reor- ganization. At the present time, therefore, it is especially inappropri- ate, in my opinion, to force upon the statute books deliberation enactS without the usualr deliberation and care. Icannot consclentiously sur render the responsibility
 The Presidents flat declaration that he was opposed to enactment of legislation as rider of an appro- priation bill was taken today as an indication that he would also veto the legislative, judicial and executive bill, which carries an amendment that would abolish the commerce court. Chairman Hay of the House military affairs committee issued a statement in which he accused the President of misstating the facts and restoring the heterogeneous argu- ments. Mr. Hay. declared the Presi- dent had vetoed the bill to give h4m- self valid reasons for vetoing the legislative bill, which contains the provision to abolish the commerce court. EEc

NEWSPAPER POLITICS

Once again the News publisher would like to emphasize the fac, that this paper is not published for the special glorificat.on of its friends or the persecution of it's enemies. but strictly as newspaper, regard less of all personal feelings. We make mistakes, like any other hu- man conducted enterprise, but we do not use the columns of the paper to vent any personal spleen, either by saying catty things or ignoring a news item. Some people are not broad enough between the eyes to believe this can De done, but it is nevertheless hard fast rule of the News, and is adhered to as near ly as it is humanly possible to fol- low policy of any kind. And the man who expects to talk us into helping him conduct his personal differences had just as we'll spend his time talking against whirlwind --Garlnd News.
 This is the only proper policy for a newspaper. A newspaper should work in harmony with all citizens for that which is for the moral and commercial development and growth of a community.
 In this day and age no reputable newspaper will use it's influence to fight the personal enemies of it's owner or the personal enemies of oth- CTS. Al this time. Of course, proposed measures must be fought, and some- tines political or commercial infiu- ences which ill the view of the paper are not wholesome or proper. But this is very different from making a personal fight on any man or set of men.-Texarkana Four States Press.
 Us too. We are now running 8 newspaper to further the personal gain of any one man or set of men, but to build up Pine Bluff, Jefferson county and Arkansas and to see that everybody and everything gets theill Y 7. ! 4 -s "A

HANDICAPPED
This is the Case With Many Pine
 Bluff People.

Too many P'ne Bluff citizens e handicapped with bad backs. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery. making work burden and stopping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. IPlasters and miniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys are weak. To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney back ache you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys-thousands testify to their inert. Can you doubt Pine Bluff evil dence?
 c. M .Shephard, 9O1 E. Second Ave-, Pine Bluff, Ark says: ,The public statement I gave in June 1908 in which I recommended Doan's Kid ney Pills was correct in every par ticular and I am pleased to confirm it at this time My kidneys did not do their work as they should and l was bothered by lame and aching back. The kidney secretions also passed irregularly and caused me no end of annoyance. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of these annoyances and helped me in every way. My ad. vice to other kidney sufferers is to try this remedy"

l the capitalists camp. Nothing tha l any Soc alist has ever changed in tn, way of corruption is to be compared with what Taft and Roosevelt 1avt charged and proved upon one another They are Doth good Republicans, jus 1 as Harmon and Bryan are good Dem ocrats-and they all agreed that So cialism would be the ruin of tn. country.
 What difference is there, judge, by what they stand for, between Taf Roosevelt, LaFollette, Harmon, Wi. son, Clark and Bryan?
 'Marshaled in battle array agains the corrupt capitalist party or so- called parties is the ground viri,e, re- volutionary Socialist party, the party fof the awakening, working class whose red banners proclaim tine com. ] ing triumph if international Socialism and the emancipation of the workers of the world" :; For the first time, MT.

 Mir .Debs declared that according to the latest census reports factory workers in the United States wsre paid an average wage of $519 for the year, an increase of not quite 9 per cent in five years. but the average cost of living had increased more than 40 per cent during the same time
 The speech of Emil Seidel, vice presidential candidate, was devoted largely to showing the extraordinary power of the capitalist system, which he said holds in his spell every man woman and child. every human soul every institution of our country, con- tro's the worlds finances and can make legislatures do it's bidding"
