THE PROPER SPIRIT,

Chris Handy, who returned yester- day from a trip to the East, admits that cotton men there take a gloomy view of the situation but says men in other lines of bus mess are optimistic, believing the country ;. is, in for a period of great industrial activity and prosperity. z.+ eff we'd just quit talking about this war; forget all about it, believe con ditions would speedily return to normal,' wisely suggests Mir. Hanly Another wise man is Leo M
 Andrews, who sagely opines the time has not yet arrived to despair.
 We don't know whether the flooring is out. The driving is ths flooring is Out. 1T The ,ggriying is pretty good so far, and when we reach the bridge, if we do find the flooring out we'll get across some.
 how. Whats the use to worry now 9"
 This is the proper spirit. The bridge hasn't been reached; the driv-
 ing is good. And as MT. Andrews says, eff we do find the flooring out"
 we'll get across, all right. Nothing yet has happened to delay for long the progress of the world: the civil
 war only retarded temporarily the devlopment and prosperity of tl- ', South. and nothing has yet happened to injure the country. If there were more like Leo M. Andrews; if all 1 would follow Chris Handlys sugges- ton, whatever apprehension there
 may be now would soon be dispelled Unfounded fear. lack of confidence will do more to hurt the South than l the conflict raging in Europe or any
 thing else less than catastrophe in | our own section. .

THE FOOLISH MAN.

Not very long ago, near a town not many miles from Pine Bluff, young man who stood 6 feet in his socks was drowned in ) feet of water. He fell, got little water into his nos trils, lost his head, wasted his strength in struggling and drowned himself trying to yell for help
 There are whole lote of men in business right now who resemble this unfortunate, foolish man. Be- heving they are in deep water be- cause of the European war, they are flounderinf around, wasting their strength and imperilling their business lives by squalling, when. if they would only stand up straight they'd find their feet on solid be and their leads above the water.
 Suppose you try it!

LABOR DAY.

All of Pine Bluff and great part of Southeast Arkansas will join with organized labor of Pine Bluff tomor row in Observing labor's annual holi- day
 It is fitting that this should be With Capital and Ingenuity. Labor has created the vast wealth existing in this country; in the world. With Ingenuity to conceive, Capital to finance and Labor to execute the world progresses and prospers. They are co-dependent, but none is more deserving of credit than Labor, which bears the brunt of the fighting, as il were, and reaps less of the reward This has been since time began and will doubtless continue until the millennium.

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

ming over. shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be mea- sured to you again.
 39. And he spake parable unlo them. Can the blind lead the pima shall they not both fall into the ditch? ,-
 4O The disciple is not above ms master: but every one that IS perlec' shall be as his master.
 Al. And why beholdeth thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but perceivest not the beam that IS III thine own eye?
 AZ. Either how canst thou say to thy- brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou myself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypo- crite, cast out first the beam out or thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brothers eye.
 43. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit: neither doth corrupt tree byng forth good frult.
 A. For every tree is known by ms own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of bramble bush gather they grapes.
 45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart ms mouth speaketh.
 46. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord. and do not the things which l say?
 AZ. Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is i'ke:
 4S He is like a man which bullt an house, and digged deep, and lad the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat ve- hemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream d1d beat vehemently, and immediately 1t fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

DOCKING ABSENT CONGRESSMEN.

Years ago in the various legisla- lures it was customary to pay the representative so much per day. As the country grew in wealth, this seemed rather picayunish to our ex- banding statesmen, and yearly sala- ries are now more commonly paid Also the large element of legislators who neglect their public duties were against system that sometimes docked them personally for absences.
 The small attendance in congress has become such an evil that more than a third of the members have recently been summoned back to Washington, and vote passed for suspension of pay in case of absence.
 If a man takes job for a private corporation, he expects to give up most of his time to it. But when he works for the government as a con gressman he seems to think he may spend large share of his time at his private business, thus enriciing himself with two salaries at one time. It is a wrong view of public service. The congressman who stick to their desks and are recorded on all roll calls may find themselves more popular than those that spend so much time out on the crossroads but tonholing the voters.

no war. There is nothing the matter with our country, and especially with my section of our country, except a spirit of anxiety and unrest, whfch is dying out, ant l believe the people will buy as usual and business will be good. With proper advertising and proper goods any merchant can do business as usual. Any way, this is the line 1 am working on."
 "Your plan," said the Chicagoan, "is the plan of the most successful merchants 1 have seen this season, and here he named some of the most successful in the Little Rock mans line who had adopted the same plan as that adopted by the Little Rock man. "You go back to Little Rock continued the Chicagoan, "and talk your goods and think of your business instead of talking the war and think ing of the war, and you will find that business is there, even though the war continues for a longer time than we expect"
 The Graphic agrees with the con- clusion of the Gazette that "the merchant has adopted the proper plan," that "Less war talk and more business talk will help."

TALKS ON THRIFT HOW TO BECOME A
 CAPITALIST.
"Nlne-tenths of getting ahead consists of laying something de."@JOhn Wanamaker


 consists of laying something aside. John Wanamaker. Capital is wealth and any man who has accumulated money or property IS capitalist to the extent of the value of that wealth. If he has saved the result of his saving is contribu- tion to the working capital of the country, because, either by the sav- lngs bank route or by direct invest ment, a very considerable part of the savings of the thrifty goes into rail- road, municipal and industrial secur- ltles, or real estate mortgages, thus becoming Q great factor in commer- clal activity and the building of homes and cities.
 So the man who saves and does not hoard is capitalist whether he realizes it or not, and in the end he 1 is bound to possess a good-sized bank account.
 Some persons think that big bank accounts are made by lucky ventures in finance-perhaps a profitable spec ulation, or buying into a sure thing on the ground floor"
 The fact is, how ever, that too many good-sized bank accounts have been depleted in that way.
 A good many persons build big &C., counts by going into business for which they have been trained, and for which they have sufficient capital, with credit besides.
 Others make choice investments, and then re-invest their interest earn ings and make more good invest ments when they accumulate enough money.
 They generally begin in a small way, and save "nest egg" If you are an "easy spender" your progress in this direction will be slow. for you are throwing away the blocks with which you should build. If you are a regular saver you will find it easy to withstand temptations to spend, having schooled yourself to consider your bank account first.
 As an habitual saver you build your modest bank account. In so doing you acquire the traits of the successful investor, as we'll as the habits of mind which make men suc- i cessful trades.
 | As your bank account grows, an other asset, credit, grows likewise. and you have more money at your 1 disposal to make money with as op- portunity presents itself.
 When you have acquired the saw ings habit you will be long way toward having big bank account and enjoying all the blessings that follow in it's train if the money is 1 rightly used.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT.

The East Pine Bluff Civic Improve ment league is to be formed at a meeting of people interested at the home of Mrs. w. P. Tomme 1116 East Seventh avenue, Tuesday afternoon al ? o'clock.

 The railroad officials say the, con- ductor was discharged because of in- toxication on duty The conductor is quoted as denying this, explaining that his condition may have been caused by patent medicine and some pills with which he dosed him. self for malaria.
 Disclaiming any intention to pass on the merits of the allegations, The Graphic feels that every man interest," ed should ascertain for himself the truth before deciding as to his future course. He should reject rumor and the evidence of any who might be biased.
 likeness costs heavily, and none feel it more than the working man. Perhaps he does not feel the cost as keenly as those dependent upon him the wife and children to whom the pay-check means food, clothing, shelter.

The closing down of railroad system will not hurt the of- ficers of the road nearly as much as it will the employees and the con- munities served by that road.

THE PULLMAN CASE.

The whole world has been disturbed because of the haste with which the rulers of several nations rushed into war to decide with the sword ques. tions that might better have been arbitrated. The victorious ones will pay about as great a penalty in life and property as the conquered.
 With this great lesson before us we should all be reluctant to resort to force to determine any question Force and violence only cripple, they never build.
 The Graphic seldom presumes to advise either side to labor contro- versy. but because so many of its friends are interested in that arisine

.R,Iy \ BALE. MOVEMENT.

Atlanta citizens have taken up 'he buy ; bale''' movement, designed to reiievs the cotton market situation brought about byii'ths European war; and at a meeting Friday 3o1 persons contracted for as many bales of cot ton. V Y
 The plan is to induce every indi vidual in the South to buy at least one bale of cotton at 10 cents per mound direct from the farmers and places in a warehouse for one year
 A number of southern communi- ties have adopted the scheme, and 1t is planned to extend it to every city and town in the South. tal
 This movement, undoubtedly, offers the best opporeunity yet presented for the individual in the south to help himself by helping his country.
 There are enough people in the South who can afford to invest in one bale of cotton to take up more than the surplus the mills may not need this year. And in buying bale under these circumstances a person will be buying something as good as a big producing gold bond.
 While helping the country, the buyer of bale will not be doing a charitable act alone; he'll be invest ing his money while at the same time maintaining the prosperity of the country and community; keeping the wheels of progress and industry in motion.
 With the farmer tOtin' fair and re- ducing the cotton acreage. every bale of cotton purchased this year al 10 cents would be worth at least 1. next year. The Graphic believes the farmers would do their part under she circumstances. The profit on the $50 invested would net 10 or 12 pei cent, which is more than the small investor can hope to secure from any proposition that is as safe as this is that smacks less of a gamble.
 The movement ought to be taker up and fostered by every commercial organization in the South. The plar has so many advantages it is difficul to enumerate them all. Only two diff faculties appear: to interest the peo pie and insure reduction of acreage The newspapers may be depende' upon to overcome the first, and con fidence in the farmers must serve t eliminatc the second.
 Pine Bluff has all to gain and noth ing to lose by pushing the plan. an' The Graphic stands ready to do it full part. not only in giving publicit to the move but it will invest propor tionately with others in the "buy-a bale" plan.
