THE RAILROAD SOUTH.

A railroad from Pine Bluff soWh through Lincoln, Drew and Ashley counties, touching Star City and Monticello or Crossett will bring into development millions of acres of the richest land in the country, and will benefit not only Pine Bluff but all the towns through which it would pass. The increase in property values as the result of such road would probably be more than the cost of the line. The benefit that Pine Bluff would derive cannot be overestimat- ed. It would not only be the direct means of bringing to this city trade that is now going outside the state. but would create new business by adding to the population of Jefferson, Drew. Lincoln and Ashley counties. Moreover. the people of the territory to be traversed' would be enabled to secure their needs cheaper than now bcause of the shorter railroad haul and the fact that Pine Bluff enjoys the advantage of river transportation facilities on goods brought here.

GIVE 'EM X WIDE BERTH.

< Whether it is steering steamship or an automobile, some people al- ways seem unwilling to turn out wide.
 According to published statements, the Empress and the ,Storstad could see each others light while still a mile or two from the scene of their colission Y One of them evidently blundered ahead at too high speed, or failed to change his course suf- ficiently.
 You can see the same human trait on the streets. Many drivers are never willing to give the other fel- low an inch more than half of the road. Itsis not so much that it would cost time, and trouble to turn out, as that Ahey fell if they take ample pre- caati0ns it will look foolish and over cautious.
 Perhaps this spirit, was to blame for the collision in the St. Lawrence river. Any one used to sea travel gets the impression that narrow escapes from collisions are not un- usual Many steersmea seem to dis like to give the other ship wide berth. not so much because of time lost, but because it might seem to reflect on their capacity for, steers manship.

dition would continue indefinitely. In- stead of paying off ther mortgages and other indebtedness, great many added to their land holdings, bought automobiles, etc. So, when the short years came they were unprepared.'
 A systematic method of saving is of benefit not only to farmers, wage earners and safaried persons, but business men would do we'll to consid- CT it seriously as a plan to build up reserve capital.
 Those who have arrived" are as likely to need an emergency or op- portunity fund as are their em- ployees.
 Any business man, personally, may have need of a little extra private capital some day, available in cash, outside of his business, unknown to others and ready for any call.
 Build personal reserve. Have a business reserve, too Don't argue that you can use your money to bet ter advantage in your business. A reserve may be your financial saliva tion some day.
 Don't say you will save weekly af- ter you have Caught up" in expenses, for saving week by week is the best way in the world to catch up.
 You will never earn enough money to spend all you want to before you begin to save anything.

proposes that individual members cs that order "stop treating" It is big enough, he thinks, so if every mem- Der would step out of the "have one on me" brigade, there would be nough of hole in the ranks to have a national influence. It would be a voluntary movement in behalf of the weak brother-and the brother who takes chances on becoming weak so long as he trains with the "have an other on me" crowd.
 Suppose the membership of half a dozen of the great fraternal societies of this nation should take up this proposal, make it an individual prin- ciple and abide by the rule: Wouldn't it make hole in the drink evil? It would.
 There are common sense, practical ways of checking the drink evil, and this limiting of the institution of treating; limiting it by personal, vol untary sanction and consent among large bodies of organized men, is one of those ways

PRESS OPINIONS
TREATING.
1 (AlbuerQue Herald

Out of all the mass of suggestion for checking the evil of alcoholism; legislation, force, arbitrary limiting of personal liberty, and all the rest of it, comes now and then practical suggestion which is refreshing. One of these is the suggestion made by Francis D. Wood of Albuquerque to the Knights of Columbus in meeting of that order at Las Vegas last Sunday MT. Wood suggested that the order as an organization place the ban of disapproval upon the great American institution ftreating that it take a stand against the custom handed down from our fathers of "have one on me-"
 MT. Wood suggested that if the GUS tom of treating in saloons and other public places where liquor is sold sis done away with, the consumption of alcoholic liquors in this country, in stead of the regular annual increase, promptly would be decreased about one-half. He thinks the annual crop of habitual drunkards would be re- duced by at least one-half. The chances are that Mir. Wood is just about right. Think over the list of your friends and acquaintances and count from among them the number of men who drink alone in public places. The smallness of the num- Der will astonish you. And from those who do drink alone, the con- firmed consumers of excessive quan- titles of alcohol. count those who have reached the stage where liquor has become necessity, who reached that stage through the sociability route. It's probable you will find ninety per cent arrived that way.
 No man deliberately becomes a drunkard. The habit is a creeping habit. It does not grasp and throttle it's victim all at once. like opium or cocaine. The treating custom Is the national greaser of the skids.
 It is mighty easy to 'Take another" with a group of friends. It is mighty hard to keep away from the "have little one with me" when the other fellows are buying. One hates a "piker" and hates to be one. Our national institution of treating is so we'll established and so widely re- spected that the man who doesn't confo. m just about has to climb on the water wagon and be "cfam." To stretch one drink into ten is the easiest thing under the shining sun i; and with ten under the belt, there is | no limit to liberality, even with the I rent money.
 Mir. Wood doesn't propose to stop treating by law. He doesn't even l propose to place any check on hospi- l tality with liquor in the home, at
 least we assume he does nor, since
 his suggestion is sensible in every other way. He doesn't even propose

AMERICAS MISSION.

Once again has President Wilson clearly defined America's mission; defined it in such unequivocal langu" age that none i may misunderstood: "The idea of America is to serve humanity" he declared in an address at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, 'and every time you let the stars and stripes free to the wind you ought to realize that you are not on an errand of conquest, but on ah errand of service" he told the young midshi2- men.
 This is but reiterating in different language definition. of policy the president has outlined on several oc- casiops. It ought to dispel any fear the Mexicans may entertain that the United States propose to annex that republic; it ought to quiet the nowls of soldiers of fortune and spectators who have risked their lives and money .n Mexico; it ought to re-as- Sure all.
 And when one stops to think about 1t. the realization comes that America is fulfilling the duty of serving hu- manity the world over. Since the es- tablishment of the republic it has been an inspiration to other peoples striving for liberty and freedom. It has been the model upon which other republics have founded, and even in countries still having the monarchial form of government the people have obtained privileges they would never have secured but for America and the example it has set, demonstrating that the people, as rule, are capa- ble of governing themselves and may be trusted to do the right thing in the end.
 It is America that is spending mill lions and sending out thousands of people to carry the Message of Christ and thus improve conditions in the uedtuen ldNuS, tL Us AuoTlCd that leads in movements for the uplift of mankind; it is America that is fight ing for worldwide peace; it is Amer ica that is leading the world in labor saving devices, and America that is doing the most to shorten the hours and increase the wage of the labor ing people.
 President Wilson is the type of the big, broad American statesman, who, like Washington and Jefferson, finds greates; happiness in devising and carrying out measures for the relief and benefit of the people. With such men as he directing the affairs of the republic there need be no fear but that America will continue to lead the world in all things good, from spreading the Gospel to teach ing men how to appreciate the liber- ties enjoyed under the stars and stripes.
