Learned lawyers and editors now
tell us it is quite improper to try to
commit a judge before election on
something he may have to pass on
after he is elected.
Bunk. We have too many judges
on the bench now because Big Bust
ness knew where they stood on labor
matters before they were put on.
And the women are right in fight
ing judge they know is against suf-
frage.
We might as we'll be frank about
it, and tell the truth; which is, that
the women want a Judge they know
isn't prejudiced against their case.
And they will do the human thing
if they support a candidate they
know is prejudiced in their favor.
The trouble with editors and law
yers is that they think it quite i'm
moral to pack the court unless they
do the packing.
We are in favor of the people doing
some of the packing themselves.
Uncle Sam will only make fool
of himself if he deports Mrs. Pank-
hurst because she committed certain
acts in England, which may be said
to involve moral turpitude.
What in thunder is the difference?
Let her in, and let her spout. We
don't care if she committed acts that
involved moral turpentine.
She has the courage of her conVic-
tons, and has been convicted sew
eral times.
But she was fighting for what she
believed was liberty and justice, and
this country is the last one on earth
that ought to care darn how many
windows she smashed in England.
1t would be all right even if she had
smashed a few, lords, dukes and
things like that in the nose.

Miss A. Martin
1t is estimated that her daily
average returns from begging on the
streets will reach eight or ten dol
lars.
The cbect or rather one of the
prime objects of the Associated
Charities is the elimination of the
professional beggar who would not
work under any circumstances as
long as they can beg The Charities
holds that needful persons will be
helped and aid given to those de-
serving, and even the professional
beggar will be aided ii given a
chance.
1t is held also that the public in
reality does a great harm by giving
ihdescrimlnately to street beggsirs
and in that way works hardship on
those who are really deserving.
Late yesterday afternoon she was
taken up by the police and brought
to the office of the Associated Chair
ties in the courthouse.

Agree Refunding
Sections

INCREASE is SHOWN

Washington Nov. 19.-Both fac
tons OF the Committee Oh Currency
today agreed on the section for the
refunding Of per cent bonds upon
is based. Under the Democratic plan
the reserve banks will be required to
take up an average of $4,000 a year
of these twos and exchange them for
three per cent. 7ta
This new issue is to be used in
maintaining the gold reserve and
would be sold whenever the emer-
gency required it to replenislf the
stock of gold held by the reserve
banks. These bonds are to run for
twenty years. Federal reserve notes
may be issued upon the gold pur-
chased through the sale OF these
bonds. The proposed bonds will be
sold by the reserve banks in the
open market and without such re-
strictions.
This is the. suggestion of Paul
Narburg, of New York, one of the
best known financial experts of the
country.
The only other change os impor-
lance made today by the Democratic
section of the Committee was pro-
vision authorizing the federal board
from time to time to impose a tax
on note issued. This would be done
for the purpose OF arresting ten
dency to initiation of the currency.
Increase Reserve.
The Republicans today increased
the reserve requirements against de-
posits from the proposed 33 1-3 per
cent Authority is given the federal
board in case of an emergency to
permit the reserve banks to run be-
low this amount under penalty tax
of one per cent for. each IL per
cent below 81 per cent, but in no
event is the reserve to be diminished
below 25 per cent.

Public Today.
CLIMAX IS AT HAND

| Mexico City, Nov. 19.-One the eve
! of the assembling of the Mexican
congress in defiance of President
Wilson's demand, it was learned to-
night that the United States had sent
instructions of serious import to
Charge d'Affairs OShaughnessy 1t
was reported that he had been order
ed to present Washington's final de-
mands and would make them public
tomorrow.
Everything is in readiness for the
formal opening of Congress. Huerta's
message, which is understood to be
an opology defense of the acts of his
administration, was approved by the
Cabinet today and sent to the printer.
1t is not of great length, but is said
to be a somewhat pungent document,
There is not hint of retreat by
Huerta from the position he has
taken in defiance of the dictation of
the Washington government and no
indication that the government lacks
confidence in it's ability to cope with
the northern rebels, despite their
numerous recent successes.
The most important business to
come before the new congress, will
be the adoption of new measures to
provide funds to increase the strength
of the army and for relief of the
financial stingency which has recent
ly become so acute that general busl-
ness is seriously hampered. A
serious split has developed in the
cabinet as a result of the discussion
of various measures that have been
suggested.

Sympathetic Aid Was Offered

Because she can make much more
money as a professional beggar than
by working at something, and pos
sibly has two men confederates with
whom she shares her harvest of
nickles and dimes, Miss A. Peever,"
defied the Associated Charities yes
terday to stop her from begging on
the streets of Pine Bluff.
At Third avenue and Main street,
where a shower of silver was being
thrown to her, she had attracted a
large crowd. Officials of the
sociated Charities went to her and
asked her that she go with them to
the office where they could talk mat
tiers over. She refused to do SO and
sar she would come there at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. This was
about noon and on being asked if she
expected to continue begging, she re-
Piled that she was certainly going
to do so. She was then told that
she could not beg and she defied the
Associated Charities to stop her.

woman, who is deformed true enough

had been explained that the only

Washington, Nov. 19.--The State
Department heard today through UNI
official sources that Great Britain

fact Obtalnable from officials with
regard to this act by Great Britain
vase that that governmen has mott

no explanation, but it was stated
for foreign nations to give such
notice, although the record shows
that Japan and France called at the
State Department and notified Sec
rotary Bryan of their intention to look
after their interests in Mexico.
There are only two opinions among
officials as to these naval orders by
Great Britain. War Department Of
ficials are of the opinion that the
British Oil interests which lie IN the
interior of Mexico, with Tampico as
the port of export, have demanded
that they be protected and they con
meet this opinion with the fact thai
Lord Cowdray, who conrols these in

Pastors.
CAME TO CONFERENCE
Arrived At Union Station Tuesday
Afternoon and He Soon Dis
appeared.

Telling some friends who came to
Pine Bluff with him on the train
from Little Rock which reached this
CITY at $40 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
that he wished to walk away some dis
lance and see some friends, Rev. NJ.
K. Irwin, of Nashville, Arkansas and
member of the Little Rock Methodist
Conference disappeared. Where he
went to, what became of him, nothing
has been learned and the members of
the conference were thrown into
gloom and sorrow because one of their
members had been unaccounted for
Every inquiry possible that could be
made for him was undergone We'd
nesday. Efforts were made to locate
him at the Davis and other hospitals
proved unavailing; hotels were fran
tically called in a vain hope that he
might have gore to one insted of the
residence of C. A. Hing, No. 707 Wal
nut street, to which he had been as
signed to remain during the sessions
Of the conference. He never reached
the Hing residence. He knew to what
residence he had been assigned, as a
local committee met the train and in
formed ministers and delegates to
where the were to remain while ir
Pine Bluff.
Feeling certain that no trace of him
could be found in Pine Bluff, friends
esterday and with reluctance too, as
it was a heart breaking task, wired
back to his home at Nashville, to
learn if he had suddenly decided to
return home. His wife and family
live there, and soon there came a mes
sage flashing back over the wire that
he had not been seen in Nashville
since he boarded the train for Pine
Bluff.
The friends and members of the
conference took the last resort open
The police were notified in the hope
that they could locate him if possible
or find trace of foul play. With abso'
lutely no trace o. him there is firm
belief on the part of many that he
has met with foul play. The police
however, have a battling case to work
upon, as they are positive that there
have been no strong-arm, or stick-ul
men in Pine Bluff of recent date, ant
II he has met with foul play it has
been evidently committed by some Of
who is stranger in: this city, ant
who mthe police have not as We

The police have the description o
Rev. Irwin. He is a slight built man
OF medium height, and about SO year,
