PANAMA CANAL
 DEBATE IS ON
WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS IN THE LOWER HOUSE
 OF CONGRESS-.
Judiciary Committee Continued Its Investigation of the Charges
 Against Judge Archibald.

Washington, May 16.-The House today began it's long debate on the Panama canal bill which prescribes form of government for the canal zone, authorizes the president to as sess tolls for the use of the water ways, prohibits the use of the canal by ships owned or controlled by rail- roads and provides that all ships, Am erican and foreign, shall pay the same toll.
 Chairman Adamson, of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, opened the debate with an analysis of It's provisions and he was followed by Representative Rowland. of Califor- nia, who favors the remission of tolls to American owned vessels. A number of Republicans and few
 Democrats favor preferential tolls for American owned vessels on the ground that this should encourage the coastwise trade. The debate on the Panama bill will probably con- tinue for several days.
 The Judiciary Committee continued it's investigation of the Archibald charges Witnesses from railroad companies recounted the transaction by which culm piles directly or indi- rectly connected with the Lehish Val lev and the Erie railroads were sought by Edward J. Williams, al legged to represent Judge Archibald. Vice President Brownell, of the Erie Railroad, declared that the charges made by W. P. Roland that he had been instrumental in the Erie culm pile transactions were absolutely false and if Roland would repeat them under oath he would prosecute him for perjury.

THE GRAPHIC NO ALARMlST

There are many good expressions, some good advice aid much sensible matter in the letter of Attorney W. B. Sorrells, which appears in the Graphic this morning. Mir. Scrrells suggests that there is too much az fiat on, pro and con, ill this city just now; chat the frequent and alarming statement that the town has gone to the bow vows. etc, is doing harm ard he suggests that such talk causes much unnecessary uneasiness among these who spent money and results in a delay in circulating the lcng green.
 MT. Sorrells says ahat the news papers are advertising this condition of affairs to the outside world and IS largely responsible for the uneas- mess at home. The Graphic pleads guilty to the charge. This paper has never declared that Pine Bluff will go backward even if the Free Bridge is not built but it insists shst th.e city will net go forward unless if is. The agitation about this and that IS entirely too strenuous on the pars of some people and some news Dapsrs. but this paper has never ln- timated that there will be war among our people if cne faction wins and the other loses.
 But MT. ESorrells says some mighsy timely things; things that are wai' worth thinking over.

Quieting Noisu Bows.

Have you never wished that you could
think of something to keep those noisy boys
quiet Sunday morning when nobody but
boys thinks of rising as early as upon week
days? AT that time when we grown-ups
were deep in delicious slumber it seemed
as If Jack and Teddy tried to see how much
noise they could make. Not that they
meant to-but they did,
THE blessed maiden aunt whose resi-

ing enjoyed their last morning dose uncis-

Now the boys look forward to Sunday
morning with delight, whereas they dread
ed it formerly having to be hushed repeat
edly lest they might disturb their elders.
Sometimes a few pennies find their way
into the bags-or perhaps beautiful pencil
with real rubber on the end just like
daddy's. OF course they are given to under
stand that they must be quiet in their hap
piness. as the treat is not for noisy children.
The scheme works finely in our household.
It may be that some other auntie, or
mother, or big sister may have similar an
noyance and profit by my humble little
story. s. V. W.
The best and gentlest disciplinarian OF
small children 1 ever knew used to say to
younger mothers: " Avoid raising an issue
with a child when you can do it without
sacrificing principle and the child's real
good. But when it is inevitable carry your
point and come out conQueror. Better rule
in minor matters by afrectionate diplomacy
than by harshness-"
This is evidently the law of action in the
household to which Jack and Teddy are SO
fortunate as to belong.
