The WatehWord.

Millions for defense, but not a
cent for pork" Such should be the
shibboleth of the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress. Lived up to, it will give the
country what is necessary, and what
will be approved by the people. Both
terms are now pretty we'll under
stood. Defense means larger army
and navy, equipped according to the
latest inventions of strife. Pork"
means money appropriated less for
internal public Improvements than
for forwarding the personal fortunes
of office-holding Or ofice-seeking
politicians.
Everybody now knows that the
question of economy was sadly, al
most absurdly, misused and abused
in the campaigns of 1910 and 1912. The
democratic assertion, both by plat
form and stump, was that the repub-
licans during their long lease of
power had been wasting the public
money by the hundred millions, and
the promise was that democratic
success should show material reduc-
tions in appropriations without any
impairment of public interests. The
molasses caught the flies!
When the democrats came in the
truth came out No such waste had
taken place. Consequently, no such
saving was possible. Those in con-
troll found big country in full
swing. and big bills a necessity. Ac-
cordingly, they provided for the sup
port of the government on big lines.
They even added to the republican
figures. The choice was between a
liberal or a skimping course, and,
properly enough-though at the ex-
pense of their campaign assertions
and promises-they chose the former.
They would not take the response
bility of denying the government
any sum which seemed required for
its proper support.
This policy should be continued. At
this time there is more need than
there has been at any time in re-
cent years of appropriations on lib
eral scale. New conditions have pro-
duced new demands, and those de-
mands cannot be blinked or evaded.
The government needs the money,
and it should be supplied.
In other words, let it be again re-
membered that this is billion-dol-
lar country" Thomas B. Reed laid
us all under deep obligations. He
spiced the debates of the House
with both wit and wisdom. He re-
cast the rules of that body so as to
insure a greatly improved order of
business. And in the phrase quoted
he described the country with per-
feet accuracy, and gave courage to
all those charged with the duty of
voting supplies for its maintenance.

in her interests. She, too, is desir-
Gus of preserving what she has es-
tablished there, and expanding her
trade by the latest of trade methods.
She, too, knows that the United
States has an eye on the field, and
is planning to cultivate it on an am
bilious scale. New leagues will be
formed by her, and experienced men
put at their head.
Nor should we forget that neither
the German nor the English manu-
featuring plants have been destroyed
by the war. They are as we'll
equipped for work as when the war
began. The wheels are all in place,
and can be set revolving at full
speed again the moment the war
ends. Losses in the way of skilled
operatives fighting in the armies have
occurred, but these can be made up.
Men enough capable OF doing the
work can be secured as soon as peace
is restored to the two countries.
If the wish which is general about
expanding our foreign trade is to be
put into action. our legislators and
our captains of industries must go
to it with energy. The order would
be big under any circumstances, but
will be the bigger under the circum-
stances that exist for the fact that
not only will our competitors have
the start Of us, but will be spurred
to the utmost by the presence of the
new Richmond in the field. Before
we can get into our stride we must
establish credits, study the markets
sought, and in some way provide our
selves with merchant ships for the
delivery of our products.

Dangerous Politeness.

/ An American citizen has just been
detained in London, on his way
through to Germany, and released
after being separated from certain
documents which were in his pos
session. These documents, it is in
timated, are of most important
character, consisting of comnunica-
tions from certain agents of one of
England's enemies in this country to
his principals in Europe. The Amer
ican has explained that he was ignor-
ant of the character of the papers
he carried and that he undertook in
nocently to be their bearer out of
friendship for the individuals who
| asked him to be their means of trans
mission. Granting his innocence, it
is certainly we'll to point to this case
as an illustration of the necessity
for being extremely unaccommodat-
| ing when some one who is an avowed
representative of a warning power in
this country asks for the carriage of
| papers over the sea. Much embar-
| rassment is certain to be avoided by
stout refusal to serve in such a
capacity. 1t is one thing to be oblig
ing in times of peace and quite an
other thing in time of war. Officials
have most annoying habit of being
suspicious of motives. In this case
the American citizen was very lucky
that the British authorities were will
ing to concede his innocence of de-
sign and knowledge of the character
of the documents, so long as they got
possession of the papers themselves.

The Friend Indeed.

1t is surely a gift to be able to smile
At the sorrows that earth can bring,
But there's room for the chap who
can pause for awhile,
Declining to laugh or to sing.
Oh, your optimist lives where the
sunshine glows,
And his voice is sweet with cheer
But your friend is the one who in
silence goes
By your side through the mists of
fear.
Oh, the rhythm is fine in the songs
that tell
OF the courage that men should
feel;
And sorrows which they cannot dis
pei.
They bid US in pride conceal,
But the rhythm that summons your
hopes anew
When the way seems long and dim
Is the pulse of heart that is strong
and true,
BY your side in the shadows grim

- ORPHEO THEATRE.

Arrangements were completed yes- terday for the management for "The Juggernaut," the great film sensa- ton, to be kept here again today. so Pine Bluff theatregoers have another opportunity to see this great picture play.
 Yesterday the house was crowded at every showing. and many were compelled to await their turn, before they could get in to see the pictures. Love, millions, heroism and treachery take active part in the story as told in the films with wonderful clarity, and the audience applauded exactly as if the actors in the flesh and blood were on the stage, instead of merely Their photographic representations. The great climax. where real rail- road train falls through tall trestle into a rlver beneath, brings the story to a sensational close.
 "The Juggernaut' has already teen shown four days at Little Rock.
 to crowded houses. and because Of insistent demand. will be shown again at the capital tomorrow. Be- cause of the return engasement at Little Rock. fl was possible for the mana cement of the Orpheo to obtain perm ssicn to show ''The Jugger- naut" again today in this city.

Esmond. the current attraction at Best theatre to- day on the Paramount program brings 9 new personality to the film. The play is a clever. original subject, modern in treatment, with realism and sentiment mixed by a master hand.
 It's story is simple one. It turns on the determination of an old bache- Tor to save the son of his dead friend from the follies of youth-tho youth Of today. He takes the boys sins on his own shoulders. and the sacrifice whici he successfully makes results eventually ir his own happiness. Over every episode of the drama there is an atmosphere of life and raturaln9ss that possibly do:s nore than any other agencv 10 make 1t a notable contrast to the customarE phctoplay of the present day. The general presentation of 'jAe plot and it's divergent appeals is excellent.

Josiah Wedgwood, parliamentary radical, and Boer war veteran has dropped his political differences with the government and is leading a regiment in France, "not that Eng lishmen may take France. but in hope that Englishmen may take England"
 Wedgwood is a descendant of the founder of the Wedgwood potteries and has an interest in that enter prise. His whole soul is given up to a fight against English landlordism, however and he has been one of the chief advocates of breaking up the large baroniai estates by means of taxation.
 "England's greatest menace is not Germany" says Wedgwood, "but the fact that we have been starving a large part of our population in order that another part may live in lux ury. We have been breeding two races of human animals. One race averages five feet two inches in height and works in factories. The other averages six feet high and plays cricket.

The employed workers were free. too. for they had the option of quit ting and working for themselves if they saw fit. Wages rose to $5 day and employers complained of scarcity of help.
