emotion which calls to her. When
she feels the mating instinct move
her towards man. she should con-
siderit a sacred obligation to express

of course, if man should turn a wo-
mans proposal down, she would be
horribly ashamed"
But why should she be asham-

emotional equality" Why should
anyone be ashamed Of expressing an
honest preference? Why should she -
not care for man all the more if he
declined her proposal in the same
frank spirit which prompted her to-
make it? Why, if 1 had ever pro-
posed to man I'd simply love him all
the more for turning me down if he
didn't care for me! 1t is absolutely
wrong for women to go around with
a longing miserable "wait-until-he-
comes" attitude toward life. AS for
what you say about asking man to
support her, no woman should de-
mand that under any circumstances!
She should be capable of supporting
herself, and her pride should keep her
from offering her love till she can do
it, without putting herself in the posi-
ton of mendicant. This would still
save enough 'Clinging Vines for the

RICHARDS' APPOINTMENT

The recent appointment of Elmer Richards to the superintendency of the Missouri-Arkansas division of the Cotton Belt road, with headquarters in Pine Bluff, is a promotion well merited and one that meets with the approval of Pine Blufians, especial ly the employees of the Cotton Belt road. Mir. Richards is regarded as one of the best railroad men in the Cotton Belt service and he is well qualified to perform the important du- ties assigned him. He is fair and conservative and he will deal with the men under him in a manner that will result in much good feeling be- tw cen the railroad company and it's servants. No better selection could have been made. by President Brit ton.

 While he was settling this question, Attorney General Moose also informed the Penitentiary Commission that

The proclamation will not be placed on record however until after several delegations which have requested to be heard, have been given a hearing before the acting governor
 These delegations desire to have eXclused from the call certain cases in which vacancies in districts and counties, have occurred but been filled by appointment.
 Acting Governor Futrell states there is no room for devia- deviation under the constitution, which requires the governor, or acting gover- nor, to call special election to fill all vacancies which occur more than 12 months prior to the time to which the retiring official was elected shall expire. He states he will include in the call all offices which are certified to him by the secretary of state as be- ing vacant.

The charitable 'organiza- tions and individuals of the state arc asked to take the matter of solicit ing subscriptions in their communities and send in the results promptly in order that they may be forwarded to the relief stations of the stricken states.

THAINE BLUFF PROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
THE WALTZ JUST AS BAD-ONCE

Tho Texas legislature passed a law which is to bar the turkey trot, the bunny hug. and all the fancy dances, lately introduced, which have been tho subject of so much comment by people during the past year. And this leads to the reflection. How many of the Lone Star solons ever darced the turkey trot or the bunny hug? What do they know about either or both of them? How do they know whether they are immoral or strictly within the lines of prolriety. The waltz, when it first came upon the Boards. was decried with as mltch vehemence as the turkey trot has ever been. Preachers combatted it. newspapers roasted it, ultra moralists held up their hands in horror at ii and declared that it presaged the ra- Did declension of all that was pure and holy in the world. Yet the waltz held its own, and today there arc very few who can see III It more tnall ar. innocent diversion. It is alto gcther probable that the sinful na' ture of the turkey trot and bunny hug exist altogether in imagination it may be either in the mind of the dancer or the spectator Fort smith tinas-RecOrd.
 Probably the Texas legislators know as muich about the turkey trot and the bunny hug as anyone else The Texas Tommie dance is com bination of both of them and as it originated in Texas they ought to be wise to the graceful turns of the new fantastic stunt. But they are wrong when they want to deprive the ire quenters of the dance floor to give up such joyful pleasure If the leg islators of Texas dance the turkey
