spending less, but by earning more.
 It 'Tust be admitted that we can, as people, make money. We can save only a small part in comparison with other nations, but we do have tlc knach of getting it. The salaries paid our officials and leading busi- ness men would make some European princes envious. and the wages of American workmen have attracted hoards of European laborers to our shores.
 No one denies that We make money, but is that the leading motive in American life? The questions |: What in your opinicn are the lead ing ideals of the men with whom you associate?" and "What do you con- sider to be the chief points of weak ness in American life?' were put to about enc hundred leading men lawyers, bankers, editors, business men, farmers, scientists and others, ard the replies show that forty-six consider service of ones fellows to be the leading ideal, while twenty eight think the making of money for selfish enoyment CT personal power is the leading motive.
 Fipancier's View.
 Wall street financier and vice. president of a large trust company said:
 q think that the leading ideals of the men with whom I associate are in general the ethics of Wall street. where a mans word is of greater value than anywhere else in the coun- try. 1 feel, too, that their attitude has become much less provincial than heretofore, and that often the good of the country, the state, and business al large is considered by them more than individual profit A prominent magazine editor re- piled:
 "Our ideals are: Honesty and integrity.
 intellectual achievement.
 Beauty in art and music as q solace in life.
 Domestic happiness"
 A congressman had this to say:

"Extravagance in living. Moss ! American prefer to spend money ratl1ar than not 10 spend it, and therefore very many spend noney foolishly and upon things which were better not purchased.
 "The feeling that what we d9 ought to mest the approval of other na- tons, for example, rather than our own approve. This is because as q nation and as individuals we are still rather more vain than proud.'
 Lust of Spending.
 A Boston banker w:ot0:
 'The passion for getting on,' with accompanying failure to see what one is getting on toward
 Pride is power and in the owner ship of things. Too great reliance On the finality of material.
 "The lust of spending and havins others know that one spends"
 religious director of 5000 unl- versity students answered.:
 "One weakness is that of induls- ence. Our life is cramrled these days with opportunities for relaxing; the Picture show, the ball game, tic theatre, the novel, and the canoe grip the lives of great many and absorb their best energies"
 A bank examiner gave this list:' "Materialistic tendencies.
 Striving for effect at the expense oi any or all ideals.
 Lack of simplicity.
 Lack of serious application to present or future problems.

ANOTHER RAILWAY FOR
 PINE RLIIEE.

The incorporatian at Little Rock MSnday Of the Hot Springs. Pine Bluff < Mississippi Railway com pany. capitaliszed at $3.5O0.O00, bears out the story printed in The Graphic several weeks ago that the leasing of railroad righ.s over the Jefferson county bridge by George B. Blanch- ard was the preliminary of the fin ancing and construction of railway frcm Hot Springs. through Pine Bluff to De Witt and the Mississippi river.
 The incorporation papers show that Mir. Blanchard, who contracted with the bridge commission for the use of 'hat structure. is the largest stockholder in the railway company, having $33900O. Little Beck. cam den and Nashville, Ark, bankers and business men also are interested in the proect. The directors are: Mir. Blanchard, c. C.. Henderson of Cam den, w, w. Brown of Camden, A. c. Ramsey of Nashville, Martin Walsh of Nashville and ]. F. Loughborough, D. H. Cantrell. Moorhead Wright. C. P. Parrie. c. C. Thompson and G. Il. Lyon of Little Rock.
 The company is chartered for 30 years, and affidavits filed with the articles of incorporation show that $a,000 per nile of the capital stock is subscribed, and that five per. cent of this has been paid in. The road. with branch to Little Rock, will be, TO miles long. The branch will run from 9 point two miles southwest of Wrightsville to Little Rock. The road will pass through Hot Springs, Ben ton, Woods2n, Redfield, Dexter. Bald- win, Pine Bluff, Altheimer and De- Witt. It is probable the company will promote town site at its east ern terminus.
 Preliminary surveys for she roas are completed and actual construc- ton will commence as soon as the right of way is obtained according to men interested in the road.
 With the completion of this line, Inine Bluff will enjoy added trade facilities northwest and east. and q great area of fertile territory will be opened for development. If ist is true that the bauxite company IS interested in the road and proposes tc put in barge line from the termi- nus. on the Mississippi river to St. Louis, this will add to the import ance of the project. If bauxite can be handled at less cost in this way, the same method will likely fhnssn cheaper means of transportation for other articles.
 With the project for an inland waterway from New York to the gulf unsler way, tthe construction: Of this railroad will put Pine Bluff in po sition@to enjoy the additional advan- tages this waterway will offer.

 Pine Bluff must be ready 10 profit by these advantages. And this means that there must be a strong. well supported central organization to look after the city's business. Pine Bluff has an aggressive chamber Of commerce, but in this work that is to come that bohy will require the united cooperation and support of everyone in the city if Pine Bluff is to derive the full benefits from the opportuni- ties afforded.
