Women Like This Man.

Women like a man who under stands their clothes. They may dresa for each other-and 1t Is quite fal lacy to suppose that they dress fol men, still they do like man who has feminine touch or two about him "A man who has medal with three clasps and understands the cut of | skirt Is Gods last word in men,"
 The very incest women fail terri ply with neckties, and they may know no more of trousers beyond the fact that they are customary. In the mat ter of hosiery I found her to be sound. When she rejected the socki they were selling l knew her for . woman in thousand. The things that are selling are the things one doesn't buy" she remarked to the man who was serving me. and very nearly cheered. There are women in existence-and nice women, tOo-whO would have made me buy socks that looked like summer blouses.--From The Worlds Daughters

sRInklEY MAYORS POLICY

Wouldn't it be a pretty good idea to hear or know the plat forms or proposed policies of the various candidates for Mayor of Brinkley. The office is the most important of all other offices effecting the people of Brinkley. Every person owning a foot of property ought to be awake to the importance of having a Business Manager" or Mayor who will protect and advance their interests. The city of Dayton, Ohio has abolished the office of mayor and their chief officer is known as Business Manager" They pay him 5000 per year, and it is said that they realize that they are getting their moneys worth. A mayor of Brinkley is the head of the Municipal Corporation with more than a half million dollars worth of property to manage even if the salary of $1O per month is merely nominal.
 The policies of those who pro- pose to manage this mammoth aggregation of property, life and morals of Brinkley for the next two years, would at least be interesting. don't you think?

Had the writer the privilege and pleasure of planting townsite and framing the laws governing street trees. their planting. preservation and care, he would have no parkway next to the curb, but would have 1t on the inside of the sidewalk, next to the property line. This would give the street broader appearance, put the trees out of reach of wires. of horses. change the street grade, away from many ills. It would place them where more air, food and water could reach the uOots at all times and allow of their retaining branches lower down than Is possible where they are close to the curb and obstructing free pass age of horses and vehicles.

MAIL-oRDER SYSTEM EM
How Chicago Man Made Immense For tune at the Expense of Small
 Communities Everywhere.

A merchant prince died in Chicago and left $15,0OO. 900 to his heirs, every cent of which was made in the mall order business.
 We would not dispute the dead mans honesty or criticise him Tor making this fortune in manner that is certainly legitimate. But whence did these millions come. and from whose poverty grew his wealth! asks the Richmond es-Dispatch. The answer Is the familiar indict- ment of the mail-order business as 1t has developed in Chicago. From men and women who were lured by attrac- tive pictures to pay retail prices plus the heavy cost of carriage from Chi cago; from people who searched the pages of catalogue and would not en- ter stores of their own towns, where the same goods at the same price were sold; from buyers who sent to Chicago merely to give their pur- chases that distinction begotten of distance from these came the mil lions that made the great mail-order king.
 If the evil ended here we should re- gret the stupidity of certain class of purchasers and stop at that. But the fortune of the mail-order kings is gained at the expense of progress in rural communities scattered over the continent.
 Here is the case: The little coun- try merchant puts in his stock. bought of merchants in his own state. He buys the best, and intends to sell 1t honestly and at fair profit. He waits. His cheaper goods are sold and his staples are purchased. But his dress goods fade on the shelves and his farming implements rust in his storeroom His neighbors buy of himso only what they must; their larger purchases gre made from Chicago mail-order houses. The merchant is forced to sell what his customers will purchase; those who have helped to ruin him criticise the paucity of his stock.
 The Chicago mailorder business cripples the local merchant. It limits the stock of the stores. It builds up great fortunes and single city, at the expense of those who would pro claim progress the country over

great champion of the common people, He showed this in his bitter attack on Bryan in the last Arkansas State Democratic Convention. He was missed off of the floor in that attack upon Mir. Bryan. The ''old line stand pat" policies have been relegated to the rear. There's a new order of things now with the policies of Wilson and Bryan and it is wrong for Arkansas to hamper these great statesman by send ing Senator Clarke back to the Senate. Let the stand patters" all stand aside and let Arkansas send a man to the Senate who is truly in sympathy with the new order and policies of Wilson and Bryan. Kirby is such a man.
