RIPS LID OFF HUGHES
Republican Campaign Merely
Noise, cambridge Colby
Tells Chicagoans.

In a ringing speech at Cohan's
Grand Opera House, in the cen
ter of the Loop District of Chi
recently, cambridge Col
by, the noted New York Pro-
gressiye, tore the lid off Repub-
lican shams and unmasked the
grinning skeleton of Wall street
lurking in the Hughes trenches.
Mr.. Colby's speech was a vote
getter, and it has caused con-
siderable uneasiness at Western
Republican headquarters. Here
are some of the things he said
''The air is filled with kissing
shrieks, rantings, rawlings, not
to peak of liquid fire and asphy-
xiating gases. Every d~enoting
humbug and political caliope in
the country has been drafted in
to service, and the noise is some
thing awful. But it is only noise,
after all. The Jeremiah o.

When a cold hangs on as often

fore you contract another, look
out for you are liable to contract

succession of colds weakens the

so that you are much more la

Some DemOcratic Good News.

Some Democratic Good News.
With such a candidate as
President Wilson and such a rec
ord of party achievement there
has been from the start of the
campaign the most solid ground
for hope for Democratic sue
cess. Now the evidences of VIC
tory begin to appear.
The Chicago Tribune, the lead
ing Republican paper of the mid
die west, admits that the hither-
to rick-ribbed Republican state
of Illinois is very doubtful
fact some time ago known to
those familiar with the situa-
ton.
Francis ]. Heney states that
California is sure for Wilson,
the Progressives there not being
sheep that follow blindly, but
people whose policies are based
on principles.
David Lawrence of the New
York Evening Post, after a tour
of the state of Minnesota, puts
that state in the Wilson col
umn, and Michigan is placed be-
side it by many political judges.
Strong corroboration is given
this by the fact that Michigan
is being given ten times the
amount of attention usually Civ
en- it by the Republicans. From
the big guns they are firing
there one would think it a
Democratic Verdun instead Of q
state usually rolling up a 200,
900 Republican majority.
From every state reports back
ed by solid facts and reasoning
come in showing a tide of faith
and loyalty toward the Presi-
dent moving steadily over the
land.
It may lack sound and fury
and spectacularity; there are
none of the 4aayingo or "scroug-
ing" or the 0skinnig them alive
features in the movement such
as characterize the Republican
campaign. It is too deep fol-
sound or foam. But il moves
forward and onward with inev-
liable impetus, having behind il
as its source and force the grow
ing belief that President Wilson
has preserved us from war anc
more than maintained, has h
feet increased the national hon.
or that he has served the farm.

A pamphlet just issued blythe Stan

problem of overheating of automobile
motors. This bulletin says, in part:
"One of the common causes OF over
heating is due to ignition. late spark

ignited after the piston has started
downward on the power stroke; con
sequently the hot gases are not expell-

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June 6.-Unique among all
the variegated units of the armies on
the continent is the British non-com-
Blatant corps-the conscientious OBJ
1ectors, who do not want to fight and
VINO are not expected to fight Not
fear but conscience is their reason for

In England, where individual rights
are so strongly recognized. the Quaker

it is against his religious scruples.
When compulsion was applied, an
other class arose. They said they had
conscientious scruples against the TAX

then they must work, the government

THE NEW SPIRIT IN
IMPROVEMENTS.

Julius w. Hegeler was the president
of zinc plant on the outskirts of
Danville, Ill. Recently he purchased
a tract of land near the plant on
which to construct homes for his en-
ployes. The regular grid iron" ar
rangements of streets had already
begun when it came to the knowledge
|oi the professors in the school Of
civic design of the University of Hi
nois. Mr.. Hegeler consented to per-
hitting the senior studentss trying
their skill at laying out an artistic de-
sign.
After contest among the students,
"a plan was accepted that will trans
form the plat into a beautiful subdi-
vision, with winding streets, plots for
flowers, civic center, and all the
other modern wrinkles.
The Graphic's only motive in re-
ferring to this instance of civic plan
ming is to emphasize it's belief that it
is just as easy and far more attrae-
tive to make a thing beautiful as to
make it ugly.

old rhyme, it in the end resulted in

We must not ignore trifles. We
must remember that little things must
not be neglected. They may seem in
significant, but they count in the Ions
run, for without trifles great accom-
pbshments may never be realized.
If we are beginning the real practi-
cal part of our life the wise man or
woman will be careful about laying
the foundation. Superb structures
have tottered and fallen because Of an
insecure foundation. Unless We WORK
Oh such foundation our future eff
forts will prove to be failures.
Beware of trifles. Take care OF
them They mean much. They may
net seem to be of any Importance, but
some day they will be.
Nelrly every time you read of some
great accident, such as the sinking
of the great Canadian bridge over the
st. Lawrence on Monday, in which
many lives were lost. if you look into
the subject closely it will be found
that trifle is at the bottom of it.

Some towns need it because they
haven't got it; others don't because
they have. It isn't matter of size,
either, because some of the biggest
cities have less of it to the square
yard than some of tae smallest
towns.
Pine Bluff may or may not need
more civic consciousness. 1t all de-
ponds upon ones point of view. But
no municipality ever gets too much
civic consciousness, so it is safe to
assume we could profitably use a far
greater supply.
When it is hard to arouse COM
n,unity regarding a self-evident and
necessary reform or Improvement, it
requires more civic consciousness. 1t
is like man who knows his roof
leaks, but who refuses to repair it.
A great American evil is being i'm
mcrsed with ones business or pleas
ure to such an extent that no interest
is taken in communal matters.

back when new issue Or municipal

ately cost money, is brought to the
foreground.
1t is action, not talking Or boast
ing that is needed, though little o!
the latter at the proper time will dc
no harm. 1t will be credited to en-
thusiasm rather than a desire to ex
aggerate.
Pine Bluff, like every individual il
it, must set up an ideal and head to.
ward it.
Pine Bluff is good enough for us
you bet; but it is vel. not to allow

make it good enough for many others

Every cotton grower in Jefferson
county should be receiving at least
20 cents for his cotton, because it has
been proved that by planting good
seed the hills will grow the kind
of cotton that is bringing 20 cents in
the present market. No wonder the
farm experts are laying such stress
on seed selection. The puzzle is why
growers do not plant better seed
when they can add oae-fourth to Their
income by doing so.
