TOWN REHABILITATNNG.

One hears a lot about town plan ming, but what is going to be done when the town is already built up and settled? All the bad factors or an unplanned town may be present, but to remove them would cost so much money that the cost is prohlbl- tive.
 It seems that there is no way Out for it except by degrees. By seeking steadily to improve the city's advan- tages when opportunity offers, and opening the purse strings a little al q time, many of the disadvantages re- sulting from the bad start" may be nullfied in time.
 Only that town is truly progressive which is eternally on tho make.

What Scandal fa

Of scandal, the New Republic writes: "There are few of US who do not enjoy this sense of really knew. Ing what's what. It extends our ex. perience, and gives us vicarious inn portanoe. If we cannot live great passions, we can at least read about Mime Du Barry's bUudoir; If we can not be smart, we can at least feel that we have an insiders knowledge of the smart set. The moral earnest ness and deep attention which people will devote to discussing other peo. ple's domestic affairs suggests that gossip is perhaps 8 genuine prlmi- tive art in wiricL there is interest through pity and fear and pride and joy. One woman leaves her husband; . hundred women chatter about 1t, and their passionate interest might make . cynic wonder whether they are not living through all the emo tons of a great adventure without the risk of moving away from their own steam radiators. Gossip is ex- perience without responsibility. It Is a means of taking part in inter- esting or important events without any of the risk that comes of being an actor in them. Gossip. in short, Is tho pleasure o1 the spectator ct tzs business c. life"

"The Seven Seas"

The phase "The Seven Seas" has been current for some time-was so current when Kipling universalized It nearly twenty years ago-to denote ak the great waters of the earth. Its use divides into seven parts the "triparAte ocean (the Atlantic. Pacific, and h. dian oceans) as the North and South Atlantic, the North and South Pacific, .he Indian, the Arctic. aud the An tarctic oceans. It is interesting to note that Roman Italy had it's seven seas," the chain of salt lagoons about the mouth of the Pc, separated from the Adriatic by strips os s-!nd or em tanklnents, The lagoons were in all, cient days much more extensive than uow. and the "Septem Maria" afforded 8 continuous means of internal rayi gation from Raveuna to Altinum.

In it's early days, be- fore it's production Of grair. vas equal to the demand, wages of farm hands were nigh. but as production increased tho prices lowered faster than the rata of wages. A farmer employed a2 in. dustrious Zrishman for five years, at the rate of fifty dollars a month "and tound"--board, lodging, washing, and mending. At the end of the tern he said to his man: 'I can't afford to pay you the wages havo been paying. You have saved money, and I have saved nothing. At this rate you will soon own my farn,."

COTTON CUNTRABAND.

Tine qusdruple entente allies have finally declarel that cotton is abso lute contraband, Great Britain as- eerting at the same time that it c3a- ,,, mplates measures to prevent an ab- normal depression in the market. Just what is the nature of these con- tSmplated measures is not announced. but it is generally surmised here that the English government proposes to instruct it's agents to prevent an "a5- normal depression" by purchasing cotton at a certain figure. thus prac- lica'ly fixing a minimum price.
 Many cotton men and financiers of the South express the opinion that use price of cotton would be little effected by the contraband dec,sra- ton. They declare further that the situation is far better than last !Nar, as the federal reserve system now cx- ists and will aid the cotton grove; through local banks. With the fed CIEl TtSGltC Sy otNHu oAASAA'S -@~' money, the solution of the prcSlem appears to be in cooperation Ee- tween banks, supply people an! the farmers. If the farmer will ware house his cotton properly, he cuSht to obtain sufficient assistance from banks ana his creditors to enable hin' 70 avoid disposing of his cotton as soon as it is picked and glnned. me gradual marketing of cotton WIT 2re- vent demoralization of the market end can be accomplished only through cooperation.
 The United States, however, Will refuse to recognize the lcgal'ty ot 'ns order placing cotton on the coHtra' band list. Various plans are oeins suggested whereby it is hoped se compel the quadruple entente allies to recsde from their position. on' suggestion is that an embargo DC nlaced on all shipments for the a'' lies if they persist in efforts to pre- vent cotton being sold to the world.
 Inasmuch as the United sta'eS does not regard cotton as contra mand nor recognize the legality o' any crder declaring it liable to con fiscation when destined to a coun- try at war with the allies, why shou!t not the United States notify the woric that shipments of cotton must not pt interfered with, and, having giving this notification, send dreadnaughts cruisers and destroyers to convoy fleet of cotton ships which may pc thought liable to seizure by any o' inc belligerents? We believe 'thS' such action would be more effectlVt man protests, and that it would ps sufficient to open the seas to neu. tral commerce, especially commerce o the United states.

NOT ENOUGH QUALIFICATIONS

It's remarkable what few qualifl- cations a man must have for impor- tant public offices.
 Take that of secretary of the fed eral trade commission, for instance. Here are the qualifications as laid down by the department of com merce:
 He must be a college graduate; he must have had metropolitan expert ence as a newspaper man; he must have been a successful practicine lawyer; he must have had experience in the management of large manu' featuring concern.
 These infinitesimal requirements should be expanded. Why not add tha he must have been a successful prac ticing physician, that he must have been successful practiclng dentist that he must have been a successful general in the army, that he mus have been g successful admiral in thu navy, and that he must have been successful baseball pitcher in th big leagues?

if this could have been achieved in any other city in the South of size similar to Pine Bluff.
 The opening of the bank establishes tn fact that Pine Bluff and the Pine Bluff coum,ry arc not affected to any extent by the industrial and com mercial conditions complained of elsewhere.
 Were it not so, it would have be Il practically impossible to launch at this time a financial institution with capital and surplus of $110,000. This' is but further proof that Pine Bluffs interests are solid and stable, fer banks cannot be organized without money.
 In congratulating the founders of the National Bank of Arkansas, The Graphic feels that the city and eoun- ty are also to be congratulated for the existence of conditions that make such 8 financial venture possible and which must bye gratifying to everyone in this section.
 This is time for investment Ill Pine Bluff country land, for it will never be cheaper; it is time for the beginning of movements to develop our resources, that we may be fully prepared to add to our prosperity when trade conditions of the remain der of the world are again normal
