Contrary to the statements publish4

CLOSES HIS OFFICE
 TO THE PUBLIC
President. Elect Wilson Discussed Na' tiOnal Affairs and Would Not
 Talk New Jersey.

Trenton, N. J., Jan. 2.-For the sec ond time during his administration Governor Wilson, closed the big oak door leading into his private office at the statehouse today. This was done, he said, because he intended to de- vote the day to national affairs rath- CT than those relating solely to New Jersey. He spent the forenoon dictat- ing letters. The only other occasion on which the door was closed was when Sam Gordon, his messenger cut his hair.
 President Gomez of Cuba sent the governor by cable the following New Years greeting:
 'if'ulfilling duty of consideration of courtesy, have the honor Of greeting you today in my own behalf, and that of the government and peo- pie of Cuba, with the sincerest wishes for your personal welfare and the prosperity of the American people.

 TONS DENIED.
Ed Baker, Who Was Arrested at Pine Bluff at the Instance "f Sheridan
 Officials Among Pardoned.

Little Rock, Jan. 2.-Thirty-siX par dons were granted by Gov. Donaghey this afternoon, and the balance of 10o applications were denied. With the hearing of these applications Gov! Donaghey declared his pardon record closed, as he will consider nothing but emergency cases from now until the end of his term.
 Among those granted pardons were: Tom Johnson, Phillips county, mur- der in the second degree, 10 years; Acre Daugherty, Desha county, mur- der, , years; Sam Williams, Chicot county, murder, years; Willie Mor- gan, Conway county, two yeras, as- sault to rape, 8 years; c.

 Many strong petitions were present l ed to the governor. but he declined to entertain only those which were presented by court officials who off, ciated at the trial of the convicts, Such petition was presented for Royston, and great many promln- ent citizens of Union county backed Up the officials in the petition.
 One of the denied petitions was for the pardon of the Fort Smith police. man who were convicted for mahfeas- ance of office for not protecting the negro who was lynched there lasj spring. The policemen were remov- ed from office and fined '$100 and as;;. ed for pardon after the supreme court declined to interfere witf their sentence.

-o3.O-- BRIGHT FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Tl1e best barometer for business conditions and the future outlook IS the annual bank statements in any city. This year Pine Bluff can boast of the brightest financial out look in it's h story. It's bank state ments reflect the most encouraging business prospects, and the serength of the local institutions, as evidenced by dollars and cents, are not mls- leading or deceptive. They offer the best argument ito investors and prospective residents. They will have a tendency to place Pine Bluff higher up on the financial ladder ill the East and also confirm the state ments of progress and development in this city and Jefferson county.
 The six banks in Pine Bluff on January 1 showed deposits of nearly five and half million dollars, the largest ever recorded in Pine Bluffs history. Twelve years ago four banks, then doing business in Pine Bluff, showed deposits agregasdng only one million and half dollars. So you can readily see the great ad- yancement that has been made ill Pine Bluff in the past doen years.'
 The earnings of P.ne Bluffs bank ing institupt ons evidence most con- servative and able management and a careful and safe business conduct. The :healthy condition of their af- fairs with their remarkable progress and, growth, reflect a healthy con- dit on of business throughout Jeffer- son county.
 The C.!uizens Bank, in it's annual statement, shows the largest depos- its with $1,213,2OS.77 in the hands of its cashier. The Bank of Pine Bluff is close second with $1,167, ,615.35 i'll it's vault. The Merchants and Planters Bank in It's seventy-second semi-annual statement, is a close up third with $1,O74,11S.24 deposits. The Simmons National Bank and the Cot ton Belt Saving anG Trust Company, which have been established but ten yeats, are crowding the leaders for lhonors with deposits of $97S,2S2.SS and $406,0 6,056.14 respectively. The Simmons Nat'ona has increased it's deposits more than $200,00O in the past twelve months. All of the banks reporM collections more prompt and better than ever known before in this city.
 Pine Bluff ought to be proud o1 her banking institutions. Their officers represent the highest types of men in the business and social world. They are men of excellen' business methods, always working for the best interests of their city and county.

STRIKERS WANT
 WAGE BOARD Garment Workers Heartily Approve Gov Sulzer's Ad- vocacy of New Body. BENEFIT THE LABORER Strike Leaders Say 106,250 Unionists Are Out at Albany-Sympathetic
 Strikes May Result
BENEFIT THE LABORER

Albany. N. Y., Jan. Ex-Governor Sulzer's advocacy of the establish ment of minimum wage board which is contained in his first message to the legislature met with the heartiest approval Of the leaders of the gigan- tic garment workers strike now be- ing conducted in this city.
 The labor leaders declared that the establishment of such a board by the state would prove one of the best measures in favor of the laboring masses that has ever been enacted in this country.
 The employers who are interested in the present strike were too busy today formulating plans to offset the strike to. give the matter much atten- tion. None of those approached cared to give any opinion.
 Except for one or two small disturb ances the army of strikers created no violence today.
 General Organizer. Max Pine, of the Garment Workers Union, today an- ncunced that the clothing workers of Rochester, Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia have adopted resolutions to the effect that general strikes will be called in those cities in the event the manufacturers there came to the assistance of their New York breth- rGn.
 Representatives of the strikers, the manufacturers and of the Chamber of Commerce met again this afternoon. None of the conferees wou,l make any statement at the ccnclusl'n.
 One hundred and six thousand two hundred and fifty were the figures given out at the headquarters of the striking garment workers today as the number of men and women in the

 ROCRESS ROSPERITY
WERE PLEDGES MADE?

Relying on pledge that he says we're made to the Taxpayers Protec- tive Association, behind closed doors at the court house in this city, at the time they were candidates for repre- sentatives from Jefferson, T. J. Col Tier and few others who are identl- fled with the organization and who have unsuccessfully opposed the building of the Free Bridge across the Arkansas river near this city, will make an effort within the next few weeks to get Representatives s. A. Miller, T. A. Wilson and w. N. Dridges to vote to repeal the special act creating the Jefferson County Free Bridge Improvement District.
 Already Mr. Collier and others have issued a statement in which they have arnounced their intention of seeking the repeal of the measure. The rep resentatives have not, insofar as we know, stated their position in the mat ter, but during the campaign, follow ing their endorsement by the Taxpay- CTS association, two of them at least announced that they had entered into no agreement with MT. Collier or any of the other opponents of the Free Bridge act and relying on the state. ments that they had not so pledged themselves, hundreds oi voters who favored the Free Bridge supported them They stated that they had made no pledges to him to vote for repea of the special law nor would they dt anything that was not for the best in terests of Pine Bluff and Jeffersa1 county.
 $ 1t is not believed that this effort Ol the part of the anti-Bridge faction that has dwindled in numbers durint the successive victories of the Bridge Commission in the various courts will prove successful. It is not tht will of large majority of the tax payers of this county that the Free Bridge work that is n2w progressing he stopped It is not the popular sen timent of the people of Jefferson county that any obstacle be placed be- fore the Free Bridge movement, whicf means so much to the future of this city and county.
 Ary effort in the legislature to ge the Free Bridge bill repealed will bt useless The legislators are going tt De to busy during their limited ses sion to hear any local troubles airet and they are all familiar with thu popularity of the Free Bridge projec here.
 Mir. Collier ought to bow to the vii of the majority of the people of thu county and the decisions of the coun tx. state and federal courts. His con iirued opposition only serves to reop en a wound of sentiment that shoul' remain healed for the good of ou pcople. The members of the legisla turc from Jefferson county would no be lsyal to their constituency to op pose the Free Bridge law now. espe cially after it has been upheld as legal and fair document by the jur ists of the highest court in the state.
 We will watch the outcome with i'll tc.cst, for in view of the fact that MI

The Petition of
Rights
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY
DHE Petition Of Rights, sue

" HE Petition of Rights. sue
cessfuily negotiated by the
commons with King Charles the
First, two hundred and eighty-f1ve
years ago, marks the first real be-
ginning of the liberties OF modern
Englishmen.
The INSCRIPTIONS Buckingham,
as unprincipled as he was hand
some, was in the midst Of a war
with France, and it was for the
purpose of procuring money for the
prosecution OF this contest that
Charles summoned the parliament
Of 1923.
He had already levied q forced
loan from the people, and those
who had refused to pay were i'm
prisoned. Soldiers were quartered
by force in private houses, and in
solent military creatures Of the
king executed martial law on civil
ians. When the imprisoned sub
jects appealed for the writ Of ha-
beas corpus, which right was guar
anteed them by the venerable Mag
ma Charta, the servile Judges cool
ly refused to release them, on the
hypocritical plea that no cause of
committal had been assigned.
Such was the doleful situation
when Charles summoned his third
parliament. The Turkish Sultan"
was stubborn, but, fortunately for
England and the world. the pa
triots, led on by the immortal Ppm,
were stubborn also, and in the
struggle that followed the patriots
Won
When the king contended for the
power" Ppm answered: Our con-
tention is for the laws of England.
and this power-this sovereign
power of the king-seems to be an
other power, distinct from the pow
er of the law"
Bold language, that for a plain
subject to throw at the king! But
Pym meant what he said, and be-
hind him stood the little company
of freedom lovers who had reached
the point where they were disposed
to stand for no more foolishness.
I'VE ask for our rights" they
said. I'VE want no more arbitrary
taxation: no more arbitrary i'm
prisoument; no more billeting of
soldiers on the people: no more
martial law in the time Of peace:
no more irresponsible ministries,
and no more kings who shall be
greater than the laws Of the realm"
Such was the famous Petition Of
Rights. upon which the patriots
stood. Very reasonable demands.
it seems TO us of these days, but
against which tine king and his
creatures kicked with the energy
that was worthy of a better cause.
The old faded rag of divine

the representatives of the people
stood firm, repeating their ironclad
ultimatum: NO money for the
king until the king first sanctions
