"All three divisions of the criminal court
have been exceedingly busy this week, "
remarked Judge Walter Brewer assist
ant county solicitor.
"All previous records were broken Tor
the number of cases tried in one week
by the criminal courts of Jefferson county,
and the proportion of convictions was
heavy. The offenders found guilty by the
juries this week will come up before the
judges Saturday, and sentences will be
imposed. Another record, by the way, will
be broken on that day, for the greatest
number of sentences will be imposed in
one day since the criminal court was
fcreated by a special act of the legislature
in this county, which was many years
ago. The number of prisoners in the jail
has been greatly diminished and things
are beginning to take on brighter aspect
in the criminal department. AT the cicse
| of Saturdays work the criminal court will
| have week vacation. Other courts are
| enjoying a two weeks vacation. All
| courts will be reopened on Monday, April
| Is, and work in the criminal courts will
| be pushed with renewed vigor."

Jitncy Owner Quits the Business


after few weeks of experience with
running two jitneys, I have quit he
business said the owner of two automo-
biles.
while l averaged about $40 per day
from each machine, after allowing for
wear and tear, tire and other expenses,
l saw my finish, with two run down, RAM
skackle automobiles, and nothing in hand
to compensate for depreciation Take the
tire question: The better tires are war;
ranted for $500 miles usage. Well, ma
chine in the jitney service runs, approx.
imately. $50 miles per day. Thus you will
see that IA days is the life limit of the
tires. Perhaps before that time has
elapsed an accident may shorten the life
of one, or it may be all four of the tires
Then more money must go into that item
of expenses of upkeep.
Il agree with Mr.. Hubert Drennen, who
in his testimony before the legislative
committee expressed the opinion that the
jitney business would play out by sep

Germany in preparation for her cam
paign of aggression had ordered 5000 mill
tary motor wagons from an American
company. Each of these wagons was in
tended to carry troops from one front to
the other-that is to say some 900 men
A few days ago these 5000 wagons left for
a destination in Germany under the care
of special American workmen; but they
never reached their destination, thanks
to the warships of the allies, those vigil

When Her Back Aches
A Woman Finds All Her Energy anu
Ambition Slipping Away.

Pine Bluff women know the aches
and pains that often come when the
kidneys fail make life burden
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles
are frequent indications OF weak kid
neys and should be checked in time
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause.
Here's proof of their merit in a Pine
Bluff woman's words:
Mrs. f. A. Carver 1905 w. Third
street, Pine Bluff, says: 81 believe
that my kidneys became weakened on
account of a sickness | had some
time ago. ] had pains through the
small OF my back and other kidney
ailments. A box of Doan's Kidney
Pills was given to me and they gave
relief right away"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Carver had. FosterMilburn

Senator Smith OF Union asserted
the women of his county were given
the ballot the majority of % now in
favor of the whites WOULD be drowned
under the avalanche of negro women
votes.
Senator Ruff spoke briefly in favor
of the resolution, as did Senator Toler.
when the previous question was called
for, and the motion carrying, Senator
Garrett was given 80 minutes for the
closing argument, but he took only
five, which he consumed in another
tribute to woman, saying she had new
err yet defled anything she touched
and IT there was one bad woman at
the polls under this amendment ii
adopted there were SO bad men at pres
ent. Ne stated that the $4,000 work
ing women in Arkansas should have a
chance to say something about the
laws which govern them and their
conditions.

After the result of the vote had been
announced, Senator Going made a
motion that the vote by which it had
been PASSED be reconsidered and that
motion laid on the table, forever cut
ting off a reconsideration, which was
adopted, and the resolution ordered
Immediately transmitted to the house.

would have limited the debate to 80
minutes, yet it consumed time, and
that was what those who started the
trouble were after.
Senator Garrett, author of the res
Olution, opened the argument in be-
half of the measure, declaring that 1t
was not true that the chivalry of the
South prevented the men from allow
ing the women to go to the polls. He
stated that the women predominant on
the side of right, and their influence
at the polls should be encouraged
Senator Calvert followed with an ar
gument for the bill in which he stated
that he believed the people would
adopt the amendment, and he was sure
that the senate was ready to do SO.
Going Supports Bill.
Senator Clyde Going made glow
ing speech favoring the adoption or
the resolution, and was followed by
Senator Burgess, who bitterly oppos-
ed it, and raised the question of pre-
dominance of the negro vote, there be-
ing so many negro women who would
be enfranchlsed by such an amend
ment to the constitution. He declared
that the woman is the queen OF the
home and should remain there to in
still womanly virtues in the minds or
her daughters, and to make great men
out of her SONS. Senator Collins FOL
lowed along the line of the Burgess
argument, saying that some day ne
expected to gather a flower from the
garden of women, and wanted to get
enc of the fashioned sort, who was
willing to make him home instead
of beat hi INTO the polls.
"The man was never born VINO
knows what woman would do stat
ed Senator Going in his argument,
"and I am not going to try and just
fy my argument along that line, but
I will state that we all know she Will
do the right thing"
He was interrupted by Senator
ICabaniss to know if the mothers OF
the state were demanding the vote.
eff they want it, replied Senator
Going. ''they will let US know Oh the
night of the election when this amend
ment is submitted, for the mothers 81
Arkansas generally get what they
want. and we are anxious to assist
them to get it,"
| Senator Cabaniss again interrupted
to ask if the suffrage question was
one of American brain or creation, TO
which Senator Going replied:

Minister Opposes Woman Suffrage.
Senator Cabaniss, Baptist minister
from Howard county, then took up the
debate against the bill and declared
that Womanhood of Arkansas would
be nospurer if they were given the
ballot land that their virtue would be
in danger.
"lf i've had the vote of the sober
mcthefh ood of Arkansas, and of the
grandhothers on this question" stat
ed Senator Cabaniss, eve would find
that they do not want the VOTE"
Thiy statement was greeted with
muffla expressions of derision from
the galleries and considerable, laugh
ter fir bm the champions of the cause.
Senator Cabaniss kept right on and
declared that the mothers had better
be at home, and that he opposed the
bill for the protection OF his daugh-
tiers.
Senator Greenhouse opened his
statement with the remark that he had
a little 1S0-pound wife that he dared
not return to if he opposed the resolu-
ton. He spoke at length on the good
that would be done by permitting Wo-
men to vote, stating that they would
improve the schools and all conditions,
especially would they do away with
the liuuor traffic He answered the
alarmists on the question of negro We
men voting by asserting that a negro
woman is a thousand times superior
to negro men, and no objection is Of
fered to negro men voting, under pres
ent laws.
That present officers would be call
ed upon at the polls to answer for
their dereliction of duty for not en-
| forcing the laws for protection and
convenience of women if the suffrage
amendment had been adopted some
time ago, and he thought they should
/ be.
