civic ORGANIZATIONS,

1t has only bcen in the last genera
ton that civic organizations have
played prominent par in munich
pal progress throughout the land
The time when the welfare of mu-
inequalities was left enti;cly in the
hands OF politicians is about past.
Numberless organizations have taken
a hand
In the early days of pioneering they
used to appoint vigilance commit
tees whose duty it was to see that
there was a semblance of law in these
early communities.
Nowadays we still have our vigil
ance committees, but they are known
under more dignified names.
Sometimes such organizations arc
active for lime and then so to sleep
only to be awakened when an import
ant issue is presented. At other times
tiny are the most active agencies for
Eocd found in any community. They
awaken the civic consciousness aci-
tate public questions. crystalline
public opinion and usually get re-
suits.
Pine Bluff is fortunate in possess
ing several civic organizations which
have accomplished ana arc accom-
plishing great good. The City Beauti.
full club, the East Pine Bluff Civic
league, the business Women's club arc
destined to be even greater factors
In the Improvement of Pine Bluff and
the bettermcnt of conditions than they
nave proved in the past. Their wort
is unselfish. and they deserve en-.
courasement and cooperation.

Occasionally, there is an error in
an article in The Graphic. When this
occurs. The Graphic will chccrfully
make proper correction if attention is
called 20 the error.
Some persons do not meet with the
obeisance they seem to expect from
the newspaper man wnen they de
mand" a correction bee ause their at
titude and manner are offensive
These assume that the error was d.
iberate, and some declare that the
article is "all balled up" when, as
matter of fact, the difference is as
between tweedlcdce and twecdledum.
Others are so blamed conco tied that
ing to misrcprcscnt them, when the
chances are the article was written
in the same dispassionatc manner as
was the three-lnc article telling
about the arrest of negro who
"hiffed" his woman in the eye. Then,
there is the fellow who characte rizes
as false" statement that does not
coincide with his own view. OF course,
that man finds difficulty in convinc-
ing the newspaper there is reason
for IA correction"
Anyone who thinks he has a gricv-
ance will be given respectful hear
ing and consideration by the news
papermen if the aggrievcd one con-
dues himself properly, and every
newspaper will readily do everything
possible to remedy any error it has
committed This, because the news
paper is interested in printing only
the facts, accurately and uneolored.
To think otherwise is to indicate
ignorance of the purpose of news
papers or colossal conceit.
