terms. Some of them have held four and five terms. Whenever a man is competent and faithful to the trust imposed in him, he merits continu- ance in office. The longer he serves the public the more efficient and experienced he becomes. This anti-third term argument is only a political trick and has little effect, especially when good men offer for reelection to important offices.
 There is naturally bitter rivalty when political campaigns are on, but there should be no ill feeling. Men can oppose each other without being ill-mannered about it. A man who carries bitter personal enmity be- cause another man sees fit to exercise his American privilege of seeking a public office against him, is unfit to enjoy any honor at the hands of Democrats, or Republicans for that.
 The Graphic wants to see good feeling on Tuesday and knows that absolute fairness will prevail in the balloting and the final count.

---Osto- CARD FROM FATHER LUCEY


 In common with many of the older residents of Pine. Bluff, I have noted year after year the inefficient finan- cial system of the city government. Several months ago a tentative plan Of relief occurred to me. As the sup port of some existing sivic organiza- tions was necessary for the further ance of the plan, prepared resolu- tion, embodying my general idea of a fifty per cent increase of revenue for the city with an equitable distribution of the burden on all citizens for pres entation to the City Beautiful Club at their next meeting for their endorse ment.
 One of the founders of the Club and lady in every way conversant with the character of the Club, after read ing the resolution, declared that the constitution of their club would not permit it's members to undertake any such work. The resolution was not therefore presented at the meeting. It happened that Miss Laser, of Hot Springs attended this meeting and gave an address. I was unable to hear a word that the lady or any one else said and the proceedings had no in- fluence whatever on my ideas and plan.
 The Young Mems Progressive League took up the matter with their usual enthusiasm and selected the committees from the various city as- sooiations which I had suggested. At the public meeting held under the aus spices of the Young Mems Progressive League, 1 was authorized to select an advisory committee to prepare plan of action. This committee has been partially completed. As the year is closing and everybody is busy, an ad- journment was taken until after the holidays. In the meantime the City Beautiful, if it wishes to do so, may go ahead with any plan it may have in mind.

If Office

 Office Votes
 See the candidate. The candidate is a busy man. He smiles and shakes hands with everybody he meets. The candidates is also politician. That Is why he is so polite. What a jolly fellow the candidate must be? Yes but he may feel differently next Wed. nesday morning.
 The candidate is always busy. Be fore election he is busy running for office. If he is elected, he is busy letting his deputy run the office. Ii he is not elected, he is busy explain ing why.
 Does the candidate see me? You may be sure he sees me. I have a vote The candidate knows I have a vote. He wants my vote. !. The reason women want to vote is because a politician can see a vote farther than he can see a slit skirt. t Will the candidate get my vote If he doesn't, some other candidate will.
 Then there is more than one candi- date? Yes, the woods are full of them There are nearly enough voters in the county to give each candidate for AS. sessor one vote.
 s~ To be a candidate one should have his picture and his name printed or cards to pass around among his fel- low citizens Some candidates do not have nerve enought to have theil pictures printed.
 There are more unsuccessful can. didates than otherwise. Then, why are there so many of them? Being 2 candidate provides a good excuse fol being out nights.
 If the candidate does not get enough votes, the voters get his goat and he doesn't get the office. It is hard te lose the office and the goat too.
