Possibly there is another small city in the state of Arkansas that has had the real evidence of organized cf- fort at city building that Brnkey has had.
 For the six months after the cyclone the results that from the united organized effort at rebuilding let ter bigger Brinkley such astonshed the world Business extensive travel and experience spoke re- peatedly of the wonderful results that then accom- pished by that organized bunch of business Every thinking person knew full we'll that the astonishing results accomplished in rebuilding the city not mere chance happenings they knew that the result of unselsh thinking planning and work of someone and it drew the admiration and praise of people and far and wide who KNEW what getting such results meant
 But when let go of the work and each began look ing his individual interests THEN THEN the bottom dropped to speak and but for the magnificent and unparalleled natural avantayas Binkley po';essal w. would have hit the ceiling before
 COOPERATION is absolutely absolutely essential to the building of city. United, organized effort made CT else the city not grow
 Every man in Brinkey needed in this work. and it doesn't necessarily follow that these be bankers lawyers doctors of large property interests The young men, the clerks the book keepers the canics the carpenters the railroad all needed in this orraniz d effort and I'll ,E cnstt,e ny fore that make mighty things pes ,ble in city bull E.

dict that they will poll more than 100
oOO votes next week and elect nearly on"
hundred deputies.
There is food for reflection in this de
velopment of socialism. or of social
democracy, under an imperial scheme of
Governments, in no other highly civil
ized country with popular franchise IS
imperialiSm so imperious as in Germany,
and in no other has there been anything
like SO marked "A growth of socialism.
we can scarcely SUP bpose that the iattcr
nrocess is IN spite of the former. Rather
is if because of it. The elaborate pa
ternalsm of the imperial government is
an incitement to and. justification Of the
snblimated paternalism of the socialist
scheme while the autOcracy and tyranny
of the empire move the people to adopt
social democracy by way of protest.
With each Conservative Deputy backed
bv only 1876 votes, while each Social
Democrat in the Reichstag was elected
bv 75.S14 votes, it is inevitable that n
feeling of injustice should prevail, which
in time will compel a just revision OF the
electoral system, and when that is eff
fected we may see the vote of protest
and discomfort decline instead of increas-
ing
