ISN'T NOV THE TIME?

Now that the municipal primary election has been held and it has been determined who will be the officers of the city for the next two years, we believe the time has arrived when the first steps should be taken to- ward permanent street improvement in Conway.
 An able set of men have been elected to compose the city council and of their cooperation and sup port in any matter for the better ment of the city the people may be assured.
 The sentiment is almost, if not quite, unanimous for an organized, systematic and thorough going plan of street building.
 The need and desirability of it are not questioned.
 By beginning at once, an improve ment district may be formed in time for the work to be done during the spring and summer, and it can be completed before another winter. De- laying a few weeks will probably mean another winter of as bad streets as we have had this winter-or worse.
 Why not make the start now?

QUITS FIGHT ON KIRBY.

A dispatch from Fordyce, where Senator Clarke spoke Wednesday says: His talk was along the usual lines, defending his record. No re- ference was made to his opponent.
 When the senator opened his cam paign at Morrilton he devoted about two-thirds of his speech to an effort to ridicule and islander Judge Kirby. It is significant that he has discovered that such attacks were not making him any votes, but were solidifying the Kirby strength. It is also sig nificant that the senator has begun to realize that it is going to take all his time to defend his own record.
 Senator Clarke evidently sees that his chance of reelection is a des- perate one. For II years he has "sinned away his day of grace" and he cannot within a few weeks make the people whom he has neglected and disdained believe that he has been a faithful servant.
 His stiff ff-legged efforts to chamber into the progressive bandwagon at the end of the parade are so ludicrous that they are almost pitiable.
