DICTURES from Italian cities show
ing mobs at work wrecking the resi-
dences of Austrian diplomats, and the
stores of Austrian merchants, all in
clude many young men and boys, some
of the latter in knee pants. Mob SEN
sationalism and license are exception
ally attractive to the young male. Nat
urally thoughtless and reckless it
awakens in his eager blood tingllng
desire to ''do up somebody or some
thing, wholly regardless of law or JUS
tice, and unless a strong hand is laid
upon him right at the outset he is quite
likely to accomplish his purpose. Moth
ing is more senseless than a mob, and
it is appreciation of this fact which
should keep law-respecting men and
women in their own homes when they
know the mob spirit is rampant Dan
ger and possible death are thus escaped
mob growth is Suspended or destroyed,
and the preservation or restoration of
order made easier. The mob that ragged
the other day through the streets of
Atlanta, actuated by feeling of hos
tility toward Governor Slaton, was for
tunately not guilty of an overt act, but
it showed a particularly resentful spirit
toward the chief executive of the state
because of deed done by him in strict
harmony with law and in accordance
with the dictates of humanity There
! is no law in mob, and mighty little SEN
timent of humanity.

ping in open violation of all the law of
nations-the other, with entire immu-
nifty to assassinate our citizens as well
as destroy their property in yet more
atrocious violation of all right and of all
international law!
Why are these things so-these re-
peated seizures and massacres on the
high seas by the English and the Ger
mans? Simply because both Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Wilson thought peace -at-any-
price policy was an admirable thing.
Of Mr.. Bryan it must at least be said
that he has stuck to his miserable
course, dishonorably resigning under
fire even, rather than fight in manly
self-defence.
Mr.. Wilson, though holding the same
silly Bryan peace views, as his Philadel-
phia speech about man ''too proud to
fight" etc. proves, is now afraid openly
to avow them and so is playing in the
matter of the horrible Lusitania massa-
ere (now. over two months done) the
same foolish ''watchful waiting" policy
that he has tried with such disastrous
consequences in o-Micawber-
like waiting for something to turn
up! When Germany repeats her inso-
lent justification of her brutal massa-
cres, the peoples just anger may COM
pei show of manliness by this pretty
phrase making president of ours.

WILSON'S FIZZLES

W7HAT fizzles Wilson's policies have
W been at home and abroad! His
fiscal policy, despite the fact that in
time of peace the country is carrying
war tax burden, is so utter a failure
that he will soon have to issue bonds to
pay the current expenses of the gov
ernment!
Mr.. Wilson told US all before his
election how his coming was to usher
in something like the miliennium-gen-
eral prosperity, lower cost of food
stuffs, and the government to be run
for less than the previous billion dollar
administration etc.
What are the facts? The very re-
verse of all that! Long before any
war in Europe business dry rot had set
IN all over the land the expenses of the
government being almost 5000, 900, 900
more than in any previous year!
A shortage of about $1OO, 900, 900 was
in sight before single shot had been
fired in Europe.
Mr.. Wilson's pet seamen's bill has
crippled what little merchant marine
the country possessed, Pacific Mail hav-
ing been driven off the ocean, and the
two remaining big American steamship
lines announcing their determination to
do likewise or to resume business under
the British flag.
Mr.. Wilson's strange reversal of his
announced platform and policy in the
repeal of the Canal toll exemptions,
has also struck hard blow at our coast
wise commerce.
So far from the war in Europe being
the cause of our hard times, it has in
fact afforded the slight relief that
we have had, which though but tenn
porary is better than what the Ad-
ministration is offeringl
These are some of our domestic ills.
Abroad, it has been one dreary success
sion of blunders!
Mr.. Wilson's vacillating Mexican
policy has been curse to that country
not less than to our own.
A firm, self-respecting policy upon
the part of Mr.. Taft, or of Mr.. Wilson
in the early stages of this now chronic
butchery and ruin in Mexico, would
probably have averted much of the evil
if not, indeed brought peace-at all
events, would have secured the lives
and property of our own citizens there
both of which have been sacrificed
mercilessly
A few warships early broaching theil
guns at Vera Cruz, Tampico etc. would
have walked the scornful greasers w
without the need of staying a score Of
American seamen and ten score Of
Mexicans as was later done in tina
brilliant Vera Cruz fasco of Mr.. Viii
sons.
The same weak, cowardly foreign
policy has encouraged both England
and Germany to insult and injure us OF
the free high seas-the one with hel
old time impudence to seize our ship

THE HAIR THAT
ARTISTS ADMIRE

Ask an artist what he considers the
chief charm OF beautiful hair and
he Will answer that he looks for even
color brllliance and a lOOseness that
eliminates any hard. definite lines.
Naturally beautiful and healthy hair
are obtained by retaining a perfectly
clean head. In washing the hair il is
not advisable TO use a makeshift, but
always use a preparation made for
shampooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a champoO by getting a package
Of canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspOOnful in "a cup OF hot
water and your shampoo IS ready.
After it's use the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear Your hair viii be SO fluffy
that il will look much heavier than
1t is. It's lustre and softness viii also
delight you. while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.

COMMUNITY INTEREST.

Be it ever so humble there is nc place like the home town.
 A youth, leaving the burg whsrt he was born, ever looks with longins eyes toward it. He may advance 1T the world until he lives in a palace but tha place of his birth will never cease to have it's charms.
 Hs is interested in the people and his old chums there, and ten to one is an avid reader of the home paper
 But those who remain, or those who come later to swell it's ranks cultivate a present community inter- est that is even more important than the absent treatment Of the man ill the city
 They must take a pride in the town; must be zsalous of it's ad- vancement: must guide it in growth like good parent will guide his child. This intensified home town interest is working wonders for American towns, which were thought to be on the dewngrade less than ten years ago. People have been educated tc build up the town, einstead' of de- preciating it and looking for the first opportunity to, get out of it when something was not to their liking. ,s. sPeople have been taught to make efforts to beantify tt-personal eff forts that combined makes quite as likely showing as municipal efforts People have been educated to spend itheig money at hoane,ts 80 that the town may grow in business ;, pros ,perity that ultimately is reflected tf the buyers who keep the stores busy
 People have bsen taught to believe in their home towns, instead Of somi distant place.
 The result is that the many thou sands of home towns throughout the nation are prospecting. Land aDou tlem is growing in value. The peo ple in and about them are more nap py. ,..
 Yes, community interest looks likj 20 per cent.

ARKANSAS CROPS.

Now that it has become detlnloely known that tae corn crop of Arkan- sas exceeds it's cctton crop in value
 by $5,000,000, and that the value oi cotton and cottonssed combined only
 slightly exceeds that of the corn crop, we may expect continuation CT diyersification i'll future. Whether il will continue aftcr the war Is a de- bateable question, but the lesson or
 not having all ones eggs ill one
 basket probably has been learned. All the diversified crops of Arkan- sas combined, not counting hogs ana cattle slaughtered for home con sumption or shipped out of tho state, amount in value to $9l,0O0.0oo. as against S50,000, 900 for cotton and cottonseed.
 Conditions in other Southern
 states are Quite similar.

Heayily-Laden Wagons Reaching Pine Bluff Show Advantages of
 DiyersificaiiOn of Crops.

Every wagon yard in Pine Bluff
 was filled with W;hicles from the
 country last night, such conditlon having become quite common the past several weeks. Many of the farm wagons came in laden with cotton, others brought hay, others grain, and not a few brought in chickens, turkeys, geese and other smaller farm products.
 Not only the farmers. but their wiTss and children also, came in, with most of the wagons. Not for a long time have the farmers and their wives aud childrSn been so apparent | ly satisfied with conditions prevail l ing among them, and things are 1 looking so good for the residents of
 tho farming sections cf the county
 that the whole family can pay visit
 to town once in a while.

 syrup and molasses, they arc bring ing it into town to sell it. lnst3ad of buying lard and bacon, they are using lnome- grown stuff, and lots of them
 are selling quantities of meat, on the lhoof and otherwise. There is still a lot of fed ana hay sold to the farmers, but comnaned with previous years, even this business has drop |pod wonderfully, indicating that the farmers stock also is living at home"

 ROADgENPENDITURES.

fs 8l I #es Two hundred and fifty million dol- lars were spent on highways dur ing 1914, according to bulletin recently issued by the United States Eursau of highways. This indicates tk. great interest that is now mani fest throughout the country in the < gosd roads movement.
 A iabls. included in the bulletin, ahows the expenditures in Arkansas |, have been S2,447.36S, of which $2,- s32,2GS was expended by counties and districts and S115.0oo by the state. The table shows that only thrs,e per cent of the roads of Ar kansas are surfaced, there being &C., 445 miles of public roads, with 10S5 miles of roads surfacsd or improved. This serves to indicate, once again, that there are too many public roads, and not enough good roads.
 At the present time all of the states with the exception of Indiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas have enacted laws providing fer state aid in road work. In every stats, these laws have Contributed to bring about the building of better highways. The bulletin shows that frsm 1895, when Massachusetts and Connecticut enacted statewide laws, up to the present year S9 of the states expended "a total of S2ll,l6a Ill road work. As showing the grow ina interest in road building, 1t may bs not d that 3S of the states have mad, available $54,SS4,O0 for use in 1915. or more than 25 per cent Of Nihla total appropriations for the past 20 wears. also the total expenditures in 1914 from state funds. jomt tunds' ana local funds amounted to S2oo,- 7eg.sl1.
 According to the circular there wera on January 1, 1915, 2.2I3,lSl miles of public roads in the states, of Mailh 247 .49O miles, or 1o'9 per cent gasrc surfaced The to;al mileage of all stare-aid roads built to January | 1915. was 35,477, of which 6,So5 miles or nsarly 20 per cent, were built III 1914.
 Ii is seen from the table that while two states. Naw york and California exceed Indiana i'll the amount ol laonev expended in road work ias' ysaq, vet Indiana. because of the "iue distribution of excellent gravel IS se ond in the mileage of suitace1 soals. with 26,S31 mltes, b@ns 5 s~eeeded only by Ohio, Mlth s.,ai- nH $. while New York is thirG N'tN 2eas miles. These three states con tain nearly one-third ot all phe SUI faced reads in the United States. 0nly nine. states have 2o per cen or snors of their highways surfaced a.,a of these Rhode Island leads, Wltt 5s.s per cent; Massachu5etts IS sec end. with 51.7 per cent; aiad lnd'an' .hlgds with 42.3 per4 cent.
