 Senators Rogers and Was on are due an apology of the people of thls city because of their not being hos pitably received as they should nave teen, but it was not the fault Of the Chamber of Comerce or it's represen- tative membership, as no lntlmatloh had been given of their coming. Sena- tor White did not oven do the friends of the two senators the courtesy of Informing them of their visit. They should have been accorded the hospl- 1ali.v of the Chamber of Commerce tlitu ElNcH dl1 oP.Oi OieuAAH'S w N~A--

 It is customary that when distlns- uished men visit Pine Bluff they are shown every courtesy and made to feel perfectly at home. senator Mn.ee had method in his madness F., brought the senators here to, Il rossille, prejudice them against tne Free Bridge, which majority Of the residents of this county are anxious Ia ee built.

THE PARCELS POST

Pine Bluff, Jan. 31, 1913. Editor Graphic:
 am of the opinion that the busl- ness houses Il Pine Bluff are per hitting the gr: ss to grow under theil feet insofar as the benefits that can be theirs if they will Iusn; the out of-town buyers to use the Parcel Post privileges. I say this having Il mind what was cold me yesterday while j was with Aae bunch attending tae Free BriG,ge investigation in l. tile Rcck. Those merchants are not letting all opportunity get by to tell you they'l. be glad to mail you their wares and they will pay the postage. In two instances l was told this, one n par ticular being on class of merchant disc that Pine Bluff concern has been handling on a small margin ot profit, now the Li.tle Beck concern l. will ng to ship me by Parcel Post the same goods at the same price he has heretofore "wiholesaled' 10 the Pine Bluff concern and in addition will stand the parcel postage expense.
 You cannot warn the Pine Bluff merchants too strongly to look out Tor llOLl lIAtliC ANoSN "AAo Memphis merchants where Il the Par eel Post G: be used.
 A Pine Bluff Citizen.
 The 'Pine Bluff Citizen" has made suggestion that ought to meet with a ready response on the part of Pine Bluff business men. They ought to be more liberal w tn the use of printers ink. The Graphic goes to every town and hamlet in SoutGeast and Central Arkansas l3nd there Is nc potter medium through which the merchants can reach the out-of-town trade. The Parcel Post has given them an opportunity to have packages delivered to out-of-Sown customers the day they are ordered 'snd at prac- tically no expense, compared tt that incurred in shipping them by ex- press in former days. The merchants of nearby cities are taking advantage of the conveniences furnished them by the new postal system ana Pine Blaf f rms should do likewise. Local mer che nts are already delivering pack ages in tlle city via parcel post bu they shoult, not overlook the trade that would come from out-of-town l properly sought. The Graphic cal reach the trade for miles around The parcel post system should be de veloped in this city to its fullest.

GO SLOW.

1t is said that DR.. Friedman, who
a y he has discovered a vaccine for
the cure of tuberculosis, has arranged
for the sale of the American rights to
his discovery for a certain sum in
cash and a certain amount of stock
in a number of Friedman institutes
to be organized in as many states, and
these institutes are to be capit6 liZed
for an enormous sum-. Just what the
federal government, whose officers
have, to say the least, been lukeWarm
in their stand toward the German
physician, will do in the matter it is
too early to say, but in view of their
past stand it is assumed that they
will endeavor to prevent the sale of
tho serum until it's efficacy has been
proven. Their view that an unworthy
nostrum shall not be permitted in he
American market is m]eritorious, but
we think their showing of skepticism
is too apparent; they should realize
that certain patients whom Dr.. Fried
mann has treated, have shown unmis-
taxable signs of improvement. They
have practically said that DR.. Fried
mann is a faker and that view is not
yet held by the greater part of he

II GOLDEN RULE.

1t appears that the United States is
not the only nation which is blessed
with trusts. DR.. Karl Liebknecht, a
socialist leader in the German reich
stag, has uncovered what may rightly
be said to be the most amazing and
pernicious monopoly in existence. DR..
I.iebknecht charges that an interna-
object the manufacture of arms and
ammunition for the various great
powers through the invention of war
scares. The krupp works and others
i'll Prussia have been charged with
bribing government officials to get
figures on bids submitted by other
concerns, with a view to bid
ding these companies; but this is an
other phase of the affair. Certain
manufactures, four in number-tWo
in Germany, one in Austria and one
in Belgium-are said to be backed by
French money and to nave an agree
ment to eliminate competition and to
guarantee mutual profits. The base
ness of certain groups of mankind is
sometimes hard to comprehend and
1ence is shocking.

FARMERS M CREDIT

En- route to Europe are eighty members of the American
Commission on Agricultural Cooperation, the purpose OF
make a thorough study of rural credit and banking systems.
There are about one hundred members of the commission,
but the stay-at-homes are members of congress who will be
unable to participate in the field work until the adjourn
ment Of the special session.
The plan for this investigation originated a year ago at
the annual session of the Southern Commercial congress:
he suggestion received the hearty approval OF the federal
government and many of the states have agreed to bear the
expenses of two representatives on the commission. The
federal government is represented mi by a board OF seven
The scope OF the proposed investigation provides tor an
examination of the methods employed by the progressive
agricultural communities in Europe, in production and mar
keting, as we'll as in the financing of both these operations.
Special topics to receive attention include these subjects:
The parts played in agricultural development by the gov
ernments and by the voluntary organizations of farmers;
the cooperative systems in production, distribution and
finance; the effect of cooperative organizations upon social
conditions; the relation of the cost Of living to the business
organization of the food-producing classes.
1t has long been recognized throughout the United States
that the farmers of the country, who number about twelve
millions and who annually add about nine billions Of dol
lars to the national wealth, are seriously handicapped by
the absence of any financial credit system adequate to their
needs. 1t is estimated that the farmers Of the United
States are using about six billions of borrowed capital, upon
which they pay more than half a billion dollars interest.
Counting commissions and renewal charges, this brings the
rate of interest up to 81 per cent, while the farmers OF the
European countries, especially of Germany, can obtain all
the capital required by them for 81 and ~ per cent.
Germany has given special attention to the development
OF the rural-credit system, which has operated to the great
benefit of the agricultural classes, and it is believed by the
promoters of the investigating commission that similarly
beneficial results can be obtained by the Inauguration Of a
similar agricultural credit system in this country. Canada
is also interested in the inquiry and will have representa-
ton in the investigation.
There have been repeated efforts made in this country to
establish some such system. 1t will be remembered that
Representative Brewer of Missoula county sought diligently
to inaugurate a plan for loaning state moneys, during the
session of the Thirteenth assembly. Lack of detailed in
formation has interfered in many instances with the crea-
ton of such a system here. There is a possibility that the
result of the forthcoming investigation will be that this in
formation will be supplied.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-04-28

comprise 50.7 per cent, while with the
latter they make up 500 per cent. OF
the unicants. The largest per-
centage of women reported is for the
Church of Christ Scientists, which is
72.4 per cent. Next to hat is the
Congregational Church in which wo-
men represent Sc per cent. of the
membership. The women of the
Methodist Church compose over 81
per cent. Of the membership and the
Presbyterian women 63.5 per cent.
While the women of the Episcopal
of 64.5 per cent.
In political matters the census re-
veals Women's full voting strength as
1900, 600. Of which about 20, 900 are
negroes and other races, including
Indian, Chinese and Japanese. Cali
fornia contains over 10, 900 of these
women of other races who are of vot-
ing age Quite a large number of
them have been educated in American
schools and were able to vote as in
diligently as any other voters when
the franchise came to them. Over
500, 600 of white women voters are of
foreign birth, but have been in the
country long enough to be entitled to
naturalization papers.
While six of tie states still show
a p~reponderance of women, the entire
population of the United States con-
tains $500, 900 more men than women
In other countries this is not the case,
according to a recently compiled set
of statistics by a French scientist, who
holds that there are only 5,40O, 900
more men in the whole world than
The European countries, as
as a large part of Africa, have a
large excess of women over men. In
Asia the men are supposed to be in
the majority, although this SUPPOSE
ton is based upon estimates and not
real enumerations.
