So emphatic In her expression of dis

exalt the American flag from Canada to the Isthmus of Panama and bring all the region under it. These favor the administrations plan.
 The opponents insist that it is im- perialistic. They admit that the gov ernment does not go i1 with cannon and muskets to conquer country, but that the country is brought under our control by methods just as effec- tive.
 That large contingent of Democrats who want us immediately to give up the Philippines are somewhat embar- rassed because, if they support both measures, they are anti-imperialists in the Orient and imperialists on the western continent.
 If the United States government can make an arrangement with all the Central American republics by which there could be a closer alli- ance and by which better order could be maintained in those repub- lies, the cause of real world peace would be advanced.
 Altruism itself must pay a dividend or those who practice it would go bankrupt, and bankruptcy is not only fatal to a mans self-respect, but also brings the institution that fails into contempt.
 If the United States, then, can, ill addition, enter into these agreements and by the exercise of little thrift gain few valuable trade concessions we do not see why anybody should get excited.
 The closer alliance must be by en- tirely mutual consent. If the Central American republics were forced into such an agreement we would become estranged from the strong republics o1 South America. With the opening o1 the Panama Canal and with norma conditions we will surely have a trade commerce in that country. If this new diplomacy is the dollar sort, we can at least defend it on the ground that the Democratic-Wilson Bryan dollar brand is certainly as pure as unfermented grape juice.

UNrAINTED DOLLAR DIPLOMACY.

UNTAINTED DOLLAR DIPLOMACY.
 Certain Democratic editors and public men are greatly alarmed that our Wilson administration is about tp enter into campaign or aggression and conquest that would make Theo- dore Roosevelt's course, in compari- son, thing of smiling peace says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 Mr Wilson's suggestion of an ar engagement with Nicaragua has been denounced as dollar diplomacy in it's worst phase.
 The United States through the pres ent administration did approach Nic- aragua with suggestion that $3,OO0,- 900 would be given to that govern ment, which in turn would guarantee to the United States the sole right of building a Nicaragua canal, if one should ever be considered.
 The United States, under the agree ment, as we understand it. could either build the canal itself or could forbid it's being built even by Nicara- qua.
 The United States, also, was to have naval base of Nicaragua and in turn was to guarantee certain of Nicaragua's obligations. The cad of the negotiations would have been somewhat nebulous, but benevolent protectorate over that country. MT. Wilson's old adversaries are for the plan. The politicians of New England and the middle states. who always have an eye for prospering the business of their constituents, i fa@er- the sehere, because they feel that by enlarging cur sphere of iI- fluence in Central America we can command more trade.

Pine Bluff was the first city in Arkansas to establish public playground and 1t was so popular and beneficial that another soon followed. Since the second one was established the Pinc Bluff School Board spent $12,OOO in purchasing big piece of ground near the High School, which is being fit- ted up for a playground and athletic field and is to be used by the school children from all the schools in the city.

THE BULL MOOSE SELECTION.

Press dispatches from Washington say that w. H. Martin. the. we'll known Hot Springs attorney. is sure to get the district attorneyship for the eastern district of Afkansas, as Senators Clarke and Robinson have both recommended him for appoint ment, and are urging his speedy continuation" <
 The Graphic would have no objee- ton to the appointment of Mr., MarA tin to federal plum, if the positive statement had not been made that Mir. Martin had announced that he would not support the recent Demo- cratic nominee for governor, and that he was of Bull Moose tendencies and favored the election of Colonel George w. Murphy, the Progressive party candidate for chief executive of the state.
 Old Democrats, who have heard Senators Clarke and Robinson preach the doctrine of true Democracy for years, can hardly believe that these two leading Democrats would rec ommend a Bull Moose for federal office in life long Democratic state and under a national Democratic ad- ministration. They refuse to give credence to the dispatches from Washington, which quote them as favoring the selection of MT. Martin and tell of their having recommended him, as we'll as insisting on his im- mediate appointment and confirma- tion.
 Senators Clarke and Robinson were informed of MT. Martins recent attitude in telegrams sent to them the same night of the day on which the first Washington story told of their intention to recommend Mir Martin. Despite this Bull Moose information they are still insisting on the appointment of MT. Martin and unless President Wilson or At torney General MacReynolds inter- feres the Hot Springs man will be named within the next few days.
 MT. Martin is in every way capable of performing the duties of the of flee, but it comes with poor grace for party leader to desert his party in time of need. Mir. Martin was chairman of the Democratic state convention and was looked on as ono of the leaders of that party in this state. He should not have expressed his preference for any man who op. posed Democratic nominee, espe cially after the state committee ant the Supreme Court of the State ha( shown conclusively that the nomiaa tion of the Democratic gubernatoria candidate was not tainted with ir regularities of any kind.
