The business Of the committee ap-

held in September.
There were short addresses at the
mornings meeting by Mayor Bloom of
Pine Bluff, MIR. Lyman Of Fort Smith,
Mr.. Fenten of Little Rock, Meyer
Solmson of Pine Bluff and others.
Eighty-two towns in the state, each
having population of 1000 or over,
would be affected by the proposed
amendment to the constitution II it
is passed by the legislature.
Among the changes suggested were
the bond issue, whereby cities could
float bonds in other ways than on
improvement districts, and the raising
of taxation of real estate and per-
sonal property.
One speaker said that the corpora
tions are the only interests in the
state paying the amount of taxes
they should.

Such state of affairs cannot in any
sense of the word be Of benefit to this
city. In fact, those who are most di-
rectly interested in the liquor bust
ness, would themselves much rather
know what the outcome is to be, and
have it settled, than to be constantly
on the verge Of expectation.
There are some business houses
which are empty and others are held
idle. Merchants nave declared that
the state of uncertainty has injured
this city to marked extent. The
men who have been engaged in the
liquor business have property at
stake, and the hardship worked on
them is a lack of knowledge whether
they are going to remain in this city
or have to remove elsewhere.
We do not propose to go into the
merits or dement's of whether the
liquor interests are beneficial or
baneful to this city. Opinion is divid-
ed upon this score and people have
the right to their opinion. This is
only voicing sentiment that there
ought to be an end Of this matter, de-
lays ough ito cease. In other places
action for or against the liquor inter-
ests, has been taken definitely and de-
cisively. A conclusion of this matter
will be welcomed by all.

THE PITY OF 1T.

To the shame and humiliation of
Pine Bluff be it admitted that a mere
handful Of her people gathered at
the Temple last night to hear Jenkin
Lloyd Jones, one Of the most forceful
speakers in the United States today
one of the broadest thinkers, and
strongest opponents for good that our
country has produced for decades.
There must have been some combi-
nation Of unforeseen circumstances
that caused the absence of many
cultured people of this city who
would have been held spellbound by
the charm of a strong intelligence and
wonderful personality behind the llow
of words that kent the small audience
enrapt with breathless attention from
the beginning to the close of his
lecture.
1t seemed pitiable to think of what
others were being deprived, as each
listener drank in the eloQuence OF
this great lecturer, editor, author and
preacher.
The lecture was one that should have
interested every thinking individual in
the city,-and it is serious reflec.
ton on the intelligence of the COM
munity that with all our religious
educational and literary organizations
there were to be noted in the audi
ence last night only three ministers

around us which plead with voice

world better for all. As nothing can
repay the service and friendship Of
faithful beasts, so nothing can re-

II should not be forgotten that the
suffering caused is not the only evil

Of brutality upon its perpetrator

us Of an abiding JOY and hope con-
corning the temptations of life. Our
temptation will never be too heavy.
Second by second, God will give us
the power TO endure il. The world
is full Of people who could not with
stand the temptations of life for a
single hour unaided, but who do by
the grace of God, moment by mo-
ment, in the very agony of tempta-
ton itself, find a way of escape. This
is the victory of life, not trusting
self, not fleeing from the facts OF
life, but facing our temptations and
trusting God we live, moment by
