The committee in charge of the To- Cal option end of the state wide pro- hibition campaign is said to be receiv- ing letters daily from persons living in counties classified as dry territory declaring that while they will, as heretofore, vote against license in their own counties they will oppose the statewide proposition. The writ CTS assert that, under the present lo- cal option laws, each county in the state has the privilege, every two years, of voting for or against the sale of liquor, and that they are vii ling to accord the same privilege to counties favoring license that they enjoy themselves. It may be that this statement is without foundation, and that it is made merely for effect. but it is apparent that the prohibi- tlonlsts are not at present showing the zeal that marked tneir cndeavors a few years ago.-Ft Smith Times Record.

RAILROADS ys. THE PEOPLE.

We have been asked to state where in railroad monopoly has ever hurt or injured Pine Bluff We reply that no city in the state or elsewhere is so completely in the grasp of rail- road monopoly as is Pine Bluff. The Cotton Belt enters the city two miles or more south of the court house and runs directly through the heart of the residence and business districts of the city. You cannot ride or drive on Third avenue, one of our principal thoroughfares, on account of passing freight trains and switch engines The same is true of the Iron Mountain. 1t occupies the broadest and best street. in the city with it's racks. In the very heart of the re- tail section of our city the surslng crowds must wait for switch engines, passenger and freight trains Of this road to pass. Street car traffic IS also tied up. The cars scarcely make a trip across Third or Fourth ave- nue on Main street without haVlng to wait indefinitely for trains to pass These railroad corporations cut the city of Pine Bluff half in two. They seem to look with derision upon the rights of the citizens, they obey the law when it suits them and violate It when they please. In the east end they shut off Fifth avenue from Sec ond avenue for nearly mile in dis tance The School Board Of Pine Blum DC sitioned them to build vladuct to 1,rotect the lives of the school child rem They flatly refused. superin- tendent Junius Jordan went to the legislature and asked for the passage of law requiring them to construct this yiaducte The law was passed.

SENGEI TALKS ON
 THE FREE BRIDGE
FORT SMITH CITIZEN SAYS NO COMMiTNfTY CAN GROW WITH OUT FREE PUBLIC HIGH-
 WAYS.
Cit;zens of TlfA City Willing To Make Fin Incial Sacrifices TO
 Get Business.

George Sengel, one Of the most successful and prominent business men of Fort Smith, believes in Free Bridges and declares that it will be only question of short time before the Border City will build another Free Bridge across the Arkansas river at the foot of Garrison avenue. Tn a recent interview with a Graphic representative at Fort Smith, he said:
 You ask me why am a believer in the magnificent free br dge that con- nects Sebastian and Crawford coun- ties. Well, a question like this should be answered as any other question that refers to the prosperity of a community.
 Before the free bridge was built the counties were far removed from each other when it was only a little water that d viled us, now We are as one community and cur interests are mutual. The new free bridge has ir jected new life into both communi- ties, the merchant is satisfied the planter reaps the benfit and the two communities feel very happy over the conGum2tion of aA enterpr Sc that is so modern and has rapidly devel- Gped the material resources of beth sides of the river.
 Fort Smith believes in expansion and has grown because we are alive to the importance of modern ways of building cities and br nging new people within our gates.
 "Befsre We built the bridge or It. tie town in the woods. We were hera and existed because we could not help it. But We be e,ieved in a great CT Fort Smith and went to work to show the outs de world that we had confidence in cur own resources and thus we expanded over 107 per cent in the past ten years and have now over 2o,000 inhabitants and still growing
 "I tell you Fort Smith is going to build another bridge some of these lays, right at the foot Of Garrison avenue and t will be free bridge, to. We believe that every highway leading to a city from the direction that cur trade comes should be free, We do not believe in toll roads or toll bridges. Open wide the avenues leading to your city and then see how you will expand. Your prosperity will increase in value, better class of business blocks will be bull ard a general air of prosperity set in that you little dreamed of before. We now have five steel bridges, directly benefic al Q Fort Smith and wo want more The highways must be free and the agricultural sections must have easy and free access to the city or how cal we expect the city to eX- pand ana become the central metro- polls of this section?"

Ozark and Webb City are now inno- culated with the free bridge germ bred in Fort Smith and are talking of throwing a free bridge across the Ar kansas to connect the two towns named. Give the germ good chance to work and propagate and the re- suits cannot fail to he of the great est benefit in developing the trade and resources of the territory to be affected. The Times Record is de- lighted to note this sign .of progress siveism and looks for results com mensurate with, the spirit of enter prise shown.-Fort Smith Times-Re- cord.

The Dallas News feels constrained to remark: civilian F. McCombs, who managed Woodrow Wilson's pre- convention campaign and who is the new chairman of the national Demo- cratic committee, used to live in Ark ansas. After he graduated from Princeton he located in New York, and he is now so close to the Demo- cratic nominee that if the latter is elected MT. McCombs will have no trouble at all in securing apointment as surveyor of the port at Pine Bluff ''
 
 Is this meant for joke or does the Dallas News man wish to be taken as funny?

less it is against the railroads. They seem to have declared this law un- constitutional in the Justice Court and have rested their case. But the main question now before the people of this county is, can the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain railroads prevert the construction of competing lines into Pine Bluff. We ask the public not to underestimate their power, they hae come out into the oven against you. They have openly chal- elesd you to combat. The fight is on.

Governor Eberhart of Minnesota has
ordered an extra session Of the legislature
to convene the first week in June to pass
primary election measures, and 1T seems
the governor has put his foot in it 80
to speak. The conventions have been
held and in some instances all arrange
ments have been made to carry out the
nominations according to the old method
Of state convention. Why the govern
nor waited to the eleventh hour to call
the members together We cannot under
stand, unless it is that things don't look
favorable to him under the old system.
However Eberhsrt is politician and he
has some good lieutenants on his side.
But for all that Mr.. Eberhart has made
good governor and he is always ready
to respond to any social gathering which
may want him present, for which he has
received considerable criticism by his
opponents but for which he has our en-
dorsement.

The press and people are critizising

speeches in favor of their own cadidacy.
The precedence was set by w. j. Bryan

ing elected president. People Glamour
ed from the interior to hear him at rail.
