Oiling the Streets.

To a person who has to swallow the dust by the pound, the quart and peck as the average Brinkley citizen is now doing, 1t is a strange, strange thing that towns all around us are enjoying the delights of oiled streets while Brinkley cant. The oiled streets at Clarendon attract the attention and admiration or every visitor to that town wno goes away boosting the lnter- prise of Clarendon people who are responsible for the advanced step in city keeping. SIX thousand gallons of oil passed thro Brinkley yesterday for Marvell for street oiling pur- poses. When the cost of 6OOO gallons of oil delivered Tn brlnk- ley is considered, that of not ex- $500 and the fact that this quantity of oil would settle the dust problem on a large area of street surface for the entire summer, when the results are so perfectly satisfactory in Claren- don and every other town using oiled streets, when little towns the size of Marvell are having oiled streets, and when Brinkley has the splendid set of business men as city Aldermen, it has, then it does look like Brinkley ought to have a "try out' on oiled streets.

BujId the WheatIey Road NOW,

The building of permanent roadway from Brinkley to Wheat ley this Summer is business enterprise that would pay for it. self in one short season.
 This particular road would make it possible for the Brinkley merchants to have access to one of the most productive territories in Arkansas. It would make 1t possible for the hundreds of rice growers and farmers on the prairie who are now practically unable to reach Brinkley at all except by railroad, to drive over here from Wheatley in 30 minutes time. It would mean that many of the rice growers ana Vlsltors who are buying land on the prairie would make Brinkley their residence and commercial headquarters. This five miles of road can now be built under the new state road law and It will become part of the great cross state highway.
 The failure to build this , miles may cause the changing of the great cross state highway which also promises to be part of the great Trans Continental Ocean to-Ocean road.

THE ROOSEVELT CASE.

The damage suit now being tried at Marquette. Michigan in which Ex-President Thedore Roosevelt is suing Newett, a Republican editor. for having charged him during the campaign last Fall with getting drunk. IS one suit that the writer hopes the newspaper man will loose.
 While Mr' Roosevelt IS not a
 total abstainer" it is being un- mistakably shown that he is, and has always been indeed. very temperate man when it come to drinking.
 It was the privilidge of the writer to be passenger aboard the Roosevelt Special from Little Rock out as far as Brinkley last Fall and then I learned that MT. Roosevelt was a man of most temperate habits that while there was an ''emptying of bottles by some who were aboard thls train, that Mir. Roosevelt 'didn't t indulge" but that on the contrary he was able to stand up under the great strain of this remark able trip and it's demands, be- cause of his splendid physical condition which was largely at tributable to the fact that he wasn't a drinker.
 Mr. Roosevelt is without a doubt one of the most remarkabl men in America to-day.
 While in his parental and rellg- ious training, MT. Roosevelt has not convictions making him a total abstainer as in the case of Mr. Bryan, yet his life and prac- tice are indeed splendid evidences of the need and advantages of letting beer and boose' alone and the ARGUS trusts that this Michigan Republican editor will get a lesson that will do him good in his unfair and inaccessible attack on Mir. Roosevelt's private character.

 METHODIST CHURCH
 There was never a stronger effort for revival of religion in the town of Brinkley than the effort that is now being made at the Methodist church. The peach ing that is now being done by Brother Howell of Clarendon is that kind of preaching that tests the souls of men. It is honest and clear and strong. There is no mlcing of Gods truth. There IS no lodging of issues or pan. derlng to the whims of anybody, but a straight forward. loving presentation of Gods truth as il IS. That mighty truth by which we will all have to be judged at the last day. If we can't face it now we will not be able to face it then.
 It is being asked by some, When will the meeting close?" We can not tell. We will contin- ue these efforts till the preachers know that they have done their full duty. We will deliver our

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTEs

Owing to the meeting at the Methodist Church, there was only one preaching service at the Baptist Church last Sunday. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. met as usual and had interest ing sessions. Both of the these departments cf our work are do- ing nicely and now that the public school has closed we ought to have some to take up sunbeam work with our younger folks. We hope to have this feature of the work in progress soon. Train ing in the Bible and Christian service is the need of the hour, and we will not be faithful to our tasks Ii we neglect this great work that is entrusted to the Church of God.

 The same gentlemen will prob ably say that it was matter of luck rather than geological reas- oning.
 This may be true, but who can say when this planet will take a notion to do strange things?
 In an official report submitted to the National Geological Society in Washington the significant fact is stated that the earth IS wobbling at the poles.
 It is also stated that we are gradually growing nearer the sun.
 Our coast lines continually change. We are getting a broader eXpanse on the western side than we can hope for along the Atlantic shore line.
 No one can say what will hap pen. When least expected some heavenly vagrant will wander in- to the scope of the astronomic lense and some sage of the stars will annouce to the world the appearance of a new steller stanger.
 When in the midst of peace and plenty a volcano will belch forth a torrid emulsion and the surrounding territory will be bathed with its frey fluid.

TO STATE HOSPITAL.
Joseph Sisson Sent There-Expense
 May Be Charged to MontviIIe.

Joseph Sisson, who since Sept 14 has been held at New London under nominal charge of vagrancy, was sent to the Norwich state hospital Monday. Sisson was adjudged a paranoiac by commission in lunacy. His committal was delayed when the town of Led yard, where he claimed residence, de- clined to become responsible for him. The New London selectmen found that Sisson had lived in Norwich. but the board of selectmen there disclaimed him. A brother, Frank Sisson, who had not heard of Josephs plight until Monday, appeared Monday morning and supplied the information that the deranged man had been a resident of Montville, If this is found to be so, Stssons care will be charged to that town,
 Sissen attracted attention because of his peculiar belief that he had money in several New London banks He had an imaginary balance of $4,600 in one bank and was removed by the police when he could not be convinced that he was not a depositor there. He was penniless and without visible means of support when he was locked up, so he was held for vagrancy; went to jail in default of $100 bonds and his case was disposed of in police court Monday morning by entering a nolle, Probate Judge Calkins issued commitment pa pers and Patroiman Damas took Sis son to the Norwich state hospital in the afternoon

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
 FOR ANNAPOLIS CANDIDATES. Secretary Daniels Advises Young Men
 to Find Out Their Condition.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Secretary of the Navy Daniels has sent a circular letter to each member of congress suggesting that all candidates for ad- mission to the Naval Academy at An napOlis have themselves thoroughly examined by a competent physician before going to Annapolis for their mental examination. He says this will save much expense to young men who are ignorant of their physical dis qualifications, as well as loss of time in making preparations for the mental examination.
 The secretary says he has made ar engagements for the physical eXamina- tion of any candidates that a member of congress may send to any naval or recruiting station, to which a medical officer of the navy is attached.
 The suggested examination is, of course, cial, and does not in any way offset the examination required by law of the medical board of ex- aminers before any candidate can en- ter the Naval Academy
 Candidates from Connecticut can be examined at the recruiting station in the postOffice building at Hartford.
