ERIE URGES MEN
OPPOSE STRIKE

New York, June 0.-Following the
example of the Pennsylvania and other
great railroad systems which have
made personal appeal to their train
operating forces not to vote to strike
in the existing crisis between the
unions and the employees, the Erie
Railroad company has sent letters ad-
dressed to all men in the engine, train
and yard services of the company.
After stating that the demand for
an eight-hour day and time and a
half for overtime would mean an in
crease Of 81 per cent in the payroll the
letter includes these paragraphs:
"Have you ever stopped to think
where the Erie railroad would stand
today as transportation line with
the facilities of Is years ago? And
that, to go on improving, it must be
allowed to make margin of profit
above it's expenses?
"Do you realize that the wages in
engine and train service at the pres
ent time are at the rate of 81 942,-
17702 year, or $50 per cent higher
than the wages paid 10 years ago, and
that during this period of 10 years not
one penny in dividends has been paid
by the Erie Railroad company to it's
stockholders
care you so dissatisfied with your
present wages that you are willing to
join in strike to enforce an in
crease"

WEAK ATTEMPT TO
SHIFT BLAME,

Eighteen desperate criminals escap-
ed from the Arkansas penal farm for
white convicts at Tucker Sunday
night, The only one thus far reieaps
tufed was taken by "trusty," .sac.
cording ito report from the farm.
The penitentiary officials in Little
Rock are now endeavoring to hide
their own inefficiency by declaring
that. lack of sco-ops ration on part of
Lonoke and Jefferson officials is re-
sponsible for the fact that no. more
than one fugitive has been recaptured.
This statement would be ludicrous
were it not malicious. Not only is it
deliberate attempt to shirk re-
sponsibility, but it is an effort to shift
the blame upon the shoulders of
others who are in no way at fault.
As matter of fact, had it not been
for the efforts of Sheriff r. H. Will
liams of jefferson greater delay in
taking up the pursuit Of the convicts
WOuIU nave ICSuiCcO. liz pCIldi Idl III
authorities were at their wits end
when they 'phoned to Mr.. Williams
Sunday night, and it was only through
Mr.. Williams action in pressing per-
sonal friends into service that the
dogs from the Cummins farm were
sent at once to Tucker.
The Is convicts effected their
escape by holding up the lone night
guard, and the "trusty" who was on
duty with him. The fact that the con-
victs secured pistols, and the further
fact that one employee and convict
are left to guard about 200 desperate
men, incarcerated in wooden stock
ade throughout the night, are evil
dences of carelessness that cannot be
dissipated, even by an attempt to shift
the blame for failure to recapture the
convicts.
And no one here has heard of any of
the Little Rock penitentiary officials
accomplishing more in the way of re-
capturing the fngitives than the JEFF
ferson or Lonoke officials.

This condition is a lack of fore
sight; the foresight was lacking when
the streets were laid out generations
ago, it has been lacking ever since,
and for the most part is lacking yet!
Some deluded persons actually think
trees on street draw mosquitoes
and flies!
Towns like Pine Bluff, with plenty
of trees and shade and grass and
flowers, are naturally prettier and
better places to live in than huge
dumps of bare brick. But they need
always to be on the lookout. Trees
depreciate just as other things. From
Indianapolis comes the report that in
the last few years 1000 trees have
died or lived to the age of baroness,
when they had to be cut down, while
only 200 new trees were planted in
the same period of time.
The trees in Pine Bluff, now at their
prettiest, are wonderful asset to our
people, and none should ever be al
lowed to disappear before their time
because of neglect or indifference.

Juries occasionally render verdicts
that indicate that the jury system is
not all it should be-principally due
to the fact that citizens shirk their
duty.
Such an instance is reported from
Muskogee, Okla, where "freak" YER
dict was rendered in the case of the
state against Paul and Ida Hadley, in
dicted for the murder of Sheriff Jake
Giles of Beaumont, Tex, the crime oc-
curing aboard passenger train near
Muskogee. The evidence showed the
woman killed the officer while he
slept, and tended to disprose the con-
tention that Hadley had knowledge of
his wife's murderous intention. Mrs.
Hadley admitted the murder, and de-
MED that Hadley knew of her plan.
After numbering the sheriff, who
was taking Hadley to Beaumont to
answer charge of theft, the Hadleys
compelled the train crew to stop the
train and endeavored to escape. Had
ley was accessory to murder after the
fact, as plainly proved.

"a hours, and then returned verdict

"EntireIy uncalled For"

There is a certain veteran hote
clerk of a certain small hotel up ir
the Maine woods who is noted for two
things-his peculiar choice Of words
and the fact that every day for 80 ode
years he has inscribed on the tor
lines of his register the principa,
items Of current news in the village
Not long ago a New York editor
who CHANGED to be stopping at the no
tel, borrowed the register long enough
to copy down the following entries:
Monday, October 12-Yesterday
while percolating round the milldam
George Bates fell into the water; and
owing to his wife's failing to make
him change his wet clothes, he is now
threatened with pneumonia"
Tuesday, October ID George
Bates is rapidly becoming no better
Last night his wife sent for Doctor
Linden, who looked him over, collect
ed So and departed, looking very un
satisfactory"

SFREAO CHEER, NOT GLOOM
Just as Easy to Remark "You Are
Looking Fine" as to Say
the Opposite.

by George, old man, you are look
ing tine,"
Did you ever notice how you pork
up, no matter how poorly you were
feeling before. when some friend
greets you in this way?
According to DR.. S. R. McKelvey,
secretary of the Colorado board of
health, the human system just natu-
rally begins to tone up under the slim
illus of such greetings.
He declares it is an aid to health
and help in preventing disease, and
to that end he advocates a new move
ment-a tell your friends how well
they look" movement.
1T is not only bad taste to talk of
your pains and ailments" says Doctor
McKelvey, but a reflection on your
intelligence and knowledge OF health,
sanitation and good health. We are
not far from the time when the cause
of illness will have to be accounted
for personally.
in other words, nature is no long
er going to be blamed for sickness
when it is simply the result of igno-
rance, Indifference or wrong ways Of
living"
Do you not think it is worth giving
Doctor McKelvey's idea a try?
We do! So here goes:
BY George, you are looking fine!"

AER0-MO7ORS USED IN WAR
French Are Said to Be Fitting the
Fast Machines to Use as
Transports.

An ingenious combination of aero
plane and motor car is now being used
by the French army for the purpose
of transporting troops and food and
ammunition supplies across swamp
country, deserts and sandy ground.
These aero-motors are driven by an
eight-foot propeller which revolves in
the rear of a four-wheeled car at a
speed of 1000 revolutions a minute.
The propeller is driven by an engine
which operates the rear wheels Of the
vehicle as well as the air-screw.
The advantages of the invention are
that it causes the motor car to light
ly skim over soft ground at a speed
of SO miles an hour; the tired wheels
Of the vehicle do not dig into soft soil,
for they brush lightly over it, as
they do not have to grip the earth
to force the car on its path; when
the aero-motor hits a small hillock or
bump it literally flies through the
air, a few inches above the ground
and at top speed it travels in Sc
ries of leaps like kangaroo. For
many years motors driven by air-pro-
pellers have been popular in France,
and they have been used to large
extent by sportsmen.
